Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Filthy! Bad luck!

“It’s a mad dog. Kill it and throw it away!”

“I don’t have the guts to kill it. That’s my uncle’s favorite dog. Concubine Xian, if you’re afraid, why don’t you go and persuade my uncle yourself?”

Concubine Xian remained silent.

Her uncle was Jiang Mubai, a man who held great power and did not blink an eye while killing.

Concubine Xian silenced for a while, then looked back at Ms. Ma.

Ms. Ma was tied up and thrown on the ground, still struggling and making whining sounds.

It was quite horrifying to watch.

Concubine Xian quickly looked away, not daring to look again. She leaned on a palace maid and said, “Go prepare hot water. The palace needs to bathe and change clothes!”

She wanted to take off and throw away all her clothes.

Dirty!

Bad luck!

The palace maids hurried to prepare, and Concubine Xian asked someone to lock up Ms. Ma.

Jiang Ning spoke up: “She’s the one I brought here. I’ll take her back. Concubine Xian, Your Highness, don’t worry about it.”

Concubine Xian couldn’t wait to get rid of this mad dog and quickly agreed.

Jiang Ning reached out and pulled Ms. Ma up.

Concubine Xian couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid?”

“A mad dog doesn’t bite just anyone.” Jiang Ning’s words were rich in meaning.

Unfortunately, Concubine Xian was too frightened to understand at the moment.

She asked, “Why did you bring a dog to meet the Prince of Huai’s residence?”

“Because I’m scared.” Jiang Ning said matter-of-factly, “Your Highness, didn’t you forget how the Prince of Huai and his princess conspired against me? For someone with ill intentions, it’s not wrong to bring a dog as protection, right?”

Concubine Xian hesitated: “You won’t bring the dog to the palace, will you?” “Hard to say. If someone keeps annoying me and wants to cause trouble, I’ll definitely keep more dogs.”

“By the way, are you satisfied with today’s apology, Your Highness?”

“…Yes, satisfied.”

“That’s good. Your Highness, please rest well. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now. Although Princess Consort of Huai has developed a phobia of water, I can’t just ignore her. I’ll go find a doctor to take a look.”

Jiang Ning left with Ms. Ma in tow.

Watching their retreating figures, Concubine Xian slowly sat down, her entire body going weak.

A person suddenly turning into a mad dog that bites everyone.

This is terrifying.

Just the thought of it made her feel anxious.

Had she been bitten just now?

Concubine Xian looked down at herself and exclaimed, “Come, help me bathe. Then send for the Imperial Physician!”

She stripped naked and sat in the bath, letting two palace maids examine her from head to toe, meticulously, not missing a single imperfection.

“If you don’t check carefully and miss a bite from that lunatic, I’ll have your heads!”

After her bath, she ordered her removed clothes to be burnt. She then had the Imperial Physician check her pulse.

Although the Imperial Physician repeatedly said she was not bitten and it was no problem, Concubine Xian still couldn’t feel at ease. The image of Ms. Ma haunted her, causing her heart to race in fear, restless all day.

After a few days, the Emperor finally remembered this incident and came to console her. He found Concubine Xian with a sallow complexion, her clothes and makeup disheveled, without any trace of the flirtatiousness usually present.

The Emperor asked, “Did the Crown Prince’s Princess Consort come to apologize to you?”

“Oh, yes, she came, she came,” Concubine Xian hurriedly replied, “I’m partly to blame for this matter, too. It can’t all be her fault. I beg Your Majesty not to blame her.”

The Emperor was surprised but also happy to hear this.

“I didn’t expect Concubine Xian to be so magnanimous. No wonder I granted you the title of ‘Xian’ back then.”

Thinking about Jiang Ning’s words, Concubine Xian quickly added, “I am, after all, older than the children. How can I hold grudges against them? This time, I truly made a mistake. Your Majesty, why not revoke the punishment for the Crown Prince and just forget about this matter?”
