The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 389 - Return to the Family

Translator Xiaobai: I'm so angry! I want to slap that Xu Cairen!!!

______________

Huiyue immediately knelt down to assist, but suddenly remembered something and realized something was wrong.

She quickly shouted, "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician, something's wrong with Her Highness!"

"What happened? Move aside!" Ning Chen rushed down from the top of the hall, his face dark and frightening.

When he reached the scene, he saw a dark, wet stain on the hem of Ye Yun's skirt.

It was blood!

"Where are the imperial physicians? Have they all died? Hurry, call them!"

In an instant, Ning Chen's mind went blank, and he was filled with explosive rage.

He lifted her horizontally and rushed towards the side hall.

After Ye Yun was lifted, there was still a small puddle of blood where she had fallen. Everyone immediately understood the situation.

The atmosphere turned chaotic with shock and panic.

Especially for Xu Cairen, who, upon seeing that small pool of blood, seemed to be struck by lightning, freezing in place, too terrified to move.

The Empress Dowager had only come to make a brief appearance before returning to "recuperate." However, due to the sudden turn of events, she had no choice but to step forward and take charge of the situation.

"Given today's unusual circumstances, it seems this Mid-Autumn banquet cannot continue. I must ask everyone to return for now. I truly apologize for this."

"Mother, please don't say that. We only hope for the safety of Ming Zhaoyi. We shall take our leave now, as staying here would only distract His Majesty."

Prince Ping was the first to step forward and express his stance.

Naturally, the others followed suit.

No one wanted to get involved in this palace drama.

However, there was one person who was reluctant to leave—Xu Cairen's cousin, the Princess Consort of Prince Kang.

But since Prince Kang was leaving, she had no choice but to follow, despite her frustration.

She was filled with regret.

She could only blame herself for the words she had spoken back then, which had led her family to make the wrong decision by sending this girl into the palace. Now they had offended the Emperor.

With the fate of one tied to all, even though she had no idea what her family had done, she suspected it all started with her words.

If the Emperor held them accountable, it wouldn't just be the Xu family that suffered—Prince Kang's household would be implicated as well.

But no matter how worried she was, there was nothing she could do. The palace matters were beyond her reach.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager took charge, ordering all the consorts to remain in the main hall and wait for further news.

In the side hall, Ning Chen anxiously awaited the imperial physician.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had already lost his temper two or three times.

Everyone was too frightened to even breathe loudly.

Shen Pingzhi, being young and fast, rushed over with the medicine box. Ignoring the large beads of sweat on his forehead, he immediately checked Ye Yun's pulse.
