Chapter 1435 - 254, Rescue (51)
Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked ahead and discovered that the wailing came from a young woman dressed as a Palace Concubine. She looked incredibly delicate, appearing only a few years older than Tian Hui.
In her arms, she was vigorously shaking a little girl who clutched tightly at her own neck with her mouth wide open, her face contorted with pain, yet unable to make a sound.
The Emperor and Empress had also been alarmed by the woman’s cries. The Emperor’s face showed both shock and anger, but above all, urgency.
"What’s happening? What’s wrong with Cui Ping?"
Having raised two children herself, the Empress immediately understood the situation upon seeing Cui Ping like this and urgently called to the Sisters by her side to fetch the Imperial Physician, "Hurry, find the Imperial Physician! Cui Ping is choking! Hurry, go!"
"By the time the Imperial Physician arrives, she’ll have suffocated to death!"
The palace maids scurried out in a panic, but a youthful voice preempted the Empress. Accompanying this clear and immature voice, everyone saw a little girl about seven or eight rushing to Princess Cuiping’s side and pushed away the Concubine who was shaking her, "Shaking her like this will only make her suffer more!"
The young Concubine, inexperienced in motherhood, didn’t know any better.
