Chapter 169 6 Slap
Chapter 169 6 Slap
"Sister, I'm asking you for the last time, are you going to drink or not?" Concubine An's body blocked Empress Bao's way, as if a dark cloud was pressing down, and the light in the room dimmed in an instant.
Concubine Baogui raised her head to meet the other party's ferocious gaze and said slowly, "It's easy to make me drink the medicine. You just need to invite the Queen Mother here."
Concubine An sneered and said, "It seems that my sister is determined to make me force you to drink today."
After saying that, he walked forward and grabbed Concubine Baogui's shoulders. The other palace maids also gathered around.
Baogui Fei's eyes were slightly confused, unable to hide the fear that suddenly rose in her heart.
The other side has more people and more power. Although this is my palace, if a real fight breaks out, I will be no match for them.
"Don't mess around!" Ji Anni yelled. At this moment, she and Baogui Fei were the only ones standing on the same front.
Baogui Fei pretended to be calm and said, "They dare not do anything reckless."
This was both a comfort to Ji Anni and a warning to Concubine An.
Concubine Baogui looked at Concubine An and said, "If this is really the Queen Mother's order, why don't you dare to ask the Queen Mother to confront you? ... Do you think that you can become the Queen just because my child is gone? ... If what happened today gets out, and you falsely conveyed the Queen Mother's order, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Queen Mother?"
Concubine An was not threatened at all and sneered, "The Queen Mother is my aunt, will she blame me?"
This sentence is actually equivalent to admitting that forcing Concubine Baogui to drink the medicine was her own idea and had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager.
"Empress An, you'd better get out of here before things get out of hand!" Ji Anni pushed Concubine An and stood in front of Baoer.
"Zhao Ji, who do you think you are! I have tolerated you time and time again, so don't get too complacent!" Concubine An could no longer bear it anymore and pointed at Ji Anni and cursed.
Ji Anni opened her hand that was pointing at her and said, "You relied on the Queen Mother's support to come here and act wildly. I didn't say you were too proud, but you talked about me instead!"
"You!" Concubine An was unable to curse, so she pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and stabbed it into Ji Anni's face.
Ji Anni reflexively raised her hand to block it, and the tip of the hairpin pierced deeply into her arm.
Ji Anni felt a numbness in pain and her whole body shook.
Concubine An took the opportunity to push Ji Anni to the ground. Then she quickly pulled out the golden hairpin, and a small stream of blood gushed out of Ji Anni's arm. Amid the rapidly spreading smell of blood, Concubine An grabbed the hairpin handle again and raised it high.
Seeing that the tip of the hairpin dripping with blood was about to pierce Ji Anni's body again, Concubine Baogui suddenly leaned over and threw herself on Ji Anni's back, using her body to block Concubine An's attack.
The hairpin was pinned on Concubine Baogui’s shoulder.
Concubine Baogui let out a miserable scream.
After this scream, everyone seemed to suddenly come back to their senses.
"Empress!" Ji Anni hurriedly supported Concubine Baogui, whose face was already pale.
"Pull her away!" Concubine An pointed at Ji Anni and yelled.
A group of maids rushed up and tried their best to separate Ji Anni and Baogui Fei.
Ji Anni's arm wound hurt so much, and she was also worried about Concubine Baogui's injury, so she seemed a little slow to move and failed to break free from the maids. In the fierce struggle, she was pulled away from Concubine Baogui by five or six maids and pressed to the ground.
The sound of the struggle attracted the maids from the West Palace. They realized that their master was in trouble and rushed over to bang on the door and windows. However, the door and windows were firmly blocked by the maids brought by Concubine An, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides. The room was suddenly in chaos, with screams, shouting, banging, and banging on the door, which made people see stars.
Seeing that the door was about to be knocked open by the palace maids from the West Palace, Concubine An grabbed Concubine Baogui's hair, picked up the bowl of medicine and forced Concubine Baogui to drink it.
The black medicine flowed out from the corners of Baogui Fei's lips, and she choked and coughed violently.
At this time, the door of the room was finally knocked open by the palace maid from the West Palace.
The door was broken, and the palace maids from the West Palace rushed in like a dam bursting. The palace maids brought by Concubine An had to desperately use their bodies to stop them.
The two sides soon started fighting.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Concubine An pushed Concubine Baogui to the ground and picked up the medicine pot to pour medicine into her mouth.
The medicine poured down, and Concubine Baogui's face was stained with medicine and tears.
In the chaos, Ji Anni rushed towards Concubine An. As her hands were still tied behind her back by the maids, she could only open her mouth and bite Concubine An's neck in desperation!
The dog bit Concubine An so much that she screamed and asked the maids to pull the mad dog away.
Ji Anni was no match for the crowd and was dragged to a corner by the maids.
Concubine An covered the bright red tooth marks on her neck with one hand, pointed at Ji Anni with the other and shouted, "Hit me!"
A nanny raised her hand and gave Ji Anni a loud slap in the face.
The slap was so loud that it stopped all the sounds in the room. The maids who were fighting all stopped, and even the most emotional Concubine An forgot to curse and stared at Ji Anni, panting.
Ji Annie turned her head to the side, as if even her cervical vertebrae were broken by the slap just now, and twisted it unnaturally behind her.
There was silence all around, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Annie.
Baoguifei coughed as she crawled towards Ji Anni, her face full of tears as she worriedly called out, "Zhaoji... Zhaoji..."
Ji Anni didn't move.
Just when everyone thought she would never be able to raise her head again, she suddenly raised her head.
The clear red marks on her face looked like they were about to bleed, making her red eyes look even more terrifying.
She took a breath, and her eyes passed over the nanny who had just hit her, and stared at Concubine An who was two or three steps away.
Concubine An was so frightened by her aura that she took a half step back.
Ji Anni said to Concubine An: "...I will pay you back double."
"Hit me again!" Concubine An screamed.
But this time, no maid dared to do it.
Concubine An was so angry that she had to step forward and slap Ji Anni again.
Ji Anni did not fight back, but just raised her head and said to her: "Two... I will give you four."
Without waiting for the words to fall completely, Concubine An used all her strength to slap Ji Anni in the face with a momentum that could almost break the wall.
Then there was another "bang" sound, and Ji Anni was knocked to the ground.
All of a sudden I felt the world spinning and I could hear no sound except for a constant buzzing noise.
It seemed as if everything around me had turned dark, and I could only maintain the last bit of consciousness by trying hard to keep my eyes open.
No one in the room dared to move, and everyone stood still like stone statues.
Even Concubine An was stunned. She could feel nothing except the heat coming from her own palms.
She knew that the slap she had just given was very hard because she had used all her strength.
The palm of my hand still felt like it was burning, and it was even swollen.
"...three...I will return you six...six, you owe me six..." Ji Anni said softly. She no longer had the strength to sit up straight, so she had to lie on the ground at an angle and turned her head to say the first time to Concubine An.
This time she spoke so softly that she couldn't hear her own voice in her buzzing ears.
She only knew that she opened her mouth and spoke, but she couldn't hear what she said.
So she said it a second time: "...six. I remember it clearly. I will ask for it back."
Although I tried to increase the volume this time, unfortunately I still couldn't hear my own voice clearly.
From Concubine An's pale face, Ji Anni knew that she heard it, and heard it very clearly.
The third time, Ji Anni almost shouted, "...six,"
After saying this word, she no longer made a sound, but instead spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
It was all black in front of my eyes, I couldn't see anything.
Ji Anni slowly closed her eyes. Although she wanted to hold on, her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand-pound tripod and she could no longer lift them.
“Sooji… Soji…”
Amid the hoarse crying of Concubine Baogui, Ji Anni felt a hint of coldness on the back of her hand.
This hint of coldness came from Concubine Baogui's hand holding the back of Ji Anni's hand.
It was a bit strange. When the hand of Concubine Baogui, which had lost all its temperature, was held by Concubine Baogui, Ji Anni, who was about to fall into a coma, felt a subtle warmth. I'm sorry, Concubine Bao, I still couldn't protect you... I'm sorry, Concubine Bao, if I still had a little strength, I really want to stand up and take you away... I'm sorry, Concubine Bao, I hate myself for being so powerless...
Just when Ji Anni's world was about to fall into absolute silence, she suddenly heard someone rushing in from outside the door.
A familiar voice shouted to the crowd, "Stop it! This is the imperial palace. Do you think this is a cricket fighting cage? Do you think it's fun to fight like this? Get out! Get out! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
I didn't need to open my eyes to know that the person coming must be Princess Tianning.
You don't need to open your eyes to know that Hua Rong must be standing behind Princess Tianning.
Because if Huarong hadn't given the news, Princess Tianning wouldn't have come at such a coincidence.
Great, Madam Bao, the princess is here, and Concubine An should also restrain herself... Let me rest for a while, I promise I will wake up soon... Madam, you must hold on, and you will get better if you hold on...
Just like that, Ji Anni's world was finally completely swallowed up by darkness.
