Chapter 979

Empress Dowager Zhou felt her right eyelid twitch when she woke up.

When Su Jin came in to help her wash up, her expression was strange and her eyes were evasive, which made Empress Dowager Zhou immediately notice something strange.

"Su Jin, did something happen? Tell this widow, did something happen to the emperor? "Empress Dowager Zhou's voice suddenly rose.

"No, no, it's not something happened to the emperor, it's ….." Su Jin gritted her teeth and finally said the news she had just heard, "It's something happened to the empress."

"Empress? What happened to her? "Empress Dowager Zhou's heart was only half at ease, while the other half was still in her throat.

Su Jin kneeled down and reported in a choked voice, "This servant has just received news. It's said that last night, the empress was bitten by a poisonous snake in the bridal room and is currently unconscious. Perhaps ….. perhaps her life is in danger."

When she had just heard this news, her three souls had disappeared from her body. Her hands were numb and she couldn't recover for a long time.

Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know that the empress was Chen Ning, but she knew. She had been worried all night, worried that the paper wouldn't cover the fire. When Empress Dowager Zhou found out that the empress was Chen Ning, she would be enraged and she didn't know how she would deal with her.

Who would have thought that after waiting all night, before Empress Dowager Zhou found out the truth, she would hear this kind of heart breaking news.

She couldn't help feeling sad for Chen Ning. Such a good girl, finally becoming husband and wife with the emperor after experiencing so many twists and turns, but before they even finished the bridal room, her life and death were already unknown. This was hard for her to accept.

"What!" It was like Empress Dowager Zhou had been hit in the head and was stunned. She didn't even notice the prayer beads in her hand falling to the ground.

"Say it again, what happened to the empress?" She grabbed Su Jin's wrist and said in a trembling voice.

"The empress was bitten by a snake. Doctor Zhang has already checked the empress and said that the snake venom is very strong. I'm afraid ….. I'm afraid she can't be saved." After Su Jin said this, she couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears fell from her eyes and she began to sob in a low voice.

"Can't be saved? Then what about the emperor? Is the emperor alright? Was he bitten by a poisonous snake? "

"The emperor is fine, only the empress was bitten by a snake."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhou slowly let go of her wrist. She stood up and her two faint brows knit together.

She only felt shocked, but not sad. After all, she only had a good impression and appreciation of the girl her son had just married. There was no deep friendship between them.

"How could there be a poisonous snake in the bridal room? Could it be that the eunuchs and palace maids in the emperor's palace were all dead? Are all the eunuchs and all the maids in the emperor's palace? Truly! Pass on Aijia's imperial decree. All of Guan Osprey Palace's servants are to be executed. Leave no one alive! "

Su was. Dowup. up.

Su Jin was shocked and looked up at Empress Dowager Zhou. Her lips moved, but she stopped herself.

"What do you want to say? Just say it all, stop hesitating. What hasn't this widow heard before, what can't I accept!" Empress Dowager Zhou impatiently scolded.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, that poisonous snake ….. did not crawl into the Guan Osprey Palace from outside, rather ….. it ….. it was sent in by the Eldest Princess!" Su Jin looked at Empress Dowager Zhou's expression and replied in a small voice.

"Dowager!
