Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 474
Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Hydrophobia
“Concubine Xian, you are right, I will deal with that dog when I go back. May I ask if you are satisfied with my apology?” Jiang Ning stood up.
She glanced at Ms. Ma.
Ms. Ma’s hands, hanging at her sides, slowly clenched.
Concubine Xian sneered, “What I want to see is my son. You think I will be satisfied if you bring her? If His Majesty ordered you to apologize, shouldn’t you kneel down and kowtow to me three times?”
“I kowtow to you? Can you bear it?”
“You ”
“Princess Consort of Huai, what are you waiting for?” Jiang Ning looked at Ms. Ma, “You are Concubine Xian’s dear daughter-in-law, why don’t you kowtow to her and ask her to calm down?”
Concubine Xian said, “I don’t want to see her, tell her to get out.”
Ms. Ma suddenly raised her head and stared at Concubine Xian.
Before Concubine Xian could speak, Ms. Ma suddenly knelt on the ground, her hands supporting herself, and crawled in front of Concubine Xian like a dog, her eyes bloodshot as she howled.
Concubine Xian was dumbfounded by this sudden change and stood there, watching her helplessly.
Ms. Ma howled and pounced on Concubine Xian, tearing at her, trying to bite her.
“You, what are you doing?” Concubine Xian was frightened and jumped up in panic, shouting, “Someone, come quickly!”
Several palace attendants ran in and were also dumbfounded by this scene.
Ms. Ma followed Concubine Xian, grabbing at her clothes and gnawing at them with her mouth.
She looked just like a madwoman.
Concubine Xian struggled to dodge and cried out, “What are you waiting for? Ms. Ma has gone mad, get her out of here, quickly!”
The palace attendants came to their senses and hurriedly pulled Ms. Ma apart.
Ms. Ma struggled and screamed, trying to bite anyone she could.
Finally, a eunuch brought a rope and tied her up.
Concubine Xian was still in shock, hiding behind the palace attendant, and asked with a trembling voice, “How did Ms. Ma go mad? What happened?”
An old nanny stared at Ms. Ma for a moment and said, “Your Highness, it seems that the Princess Consort of Huai has hydrophobia.”
“What…?”
“When I was young, before I entered the palace, I saw this kind of symptom in the countryside. After being bitten by a mad dog, people would be afraid of light, water, and would bite like a dog.”
“Bitten by a dog?” Concubine Xian looked up at Jiang Ning.
All along, Jiang Ning stood still, not moving.
Concubine Xian shakily asked, “Princess Consort, you just said she was bitten by your dog?”
“Yes, she was bitten.”
“Is your dog a mad dog?”
“I don’t know if the dog was mad or not, but I saw her being bitten with my own eyes. Oh dear, does the Princess Consort of Huai have rabies?” Jiang Ning said in surprise.
Concubine Xian looked at Ms. Ma in horror, “What will happen to this disease?”
“Death.”
“Is…is it?” Concubine Xian looked to the nanny.
The nanny nodded hurriedly, “It’s true, Your Highness. Once someone gets this disease, they won’t survive.”
“If she had bitten me, would I also…?”
“Your Highness, did she bite you? Let me take a look!” The nanny asked urgently.
“She only bit my clothes…” Concubine Xian looked at her torn clothes and thought about Ms. Ma’s mad-dog-like appearance, shivering all over.
She took a few steps back and said, “Princess Consort, why did you indulge your mad dog to bite people?”
“After all, a dog is a dog, who can control when it feels happy or wants to bite?” Jiang Ning shrugged, somewhat helpless, “About that dog…”
