Princess Xuehua had no idea what was happening, but she felt a weight on her foot. Just when she looked down in confusion, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
She saw a plump mouse lying on her feet. As soon as the rat noticed her gaze, it lifted its front paw in a gesture of greeting and then scurried into her pants.
“Ahhh!”
The scream, now in a different pitch, almost blew off the roof. Princess Xuehua could clearly feel the plump mouse crawling up her leg.
“Help, help, ahhh!” Princess Xuehua was frightened like a wild monkey with its butt on fire. She jumped up three feet high, almost crawling and howling as she dashed out. As she ran, she vigorously writhed her body, shouting, “There’s a mouse! Help me take it out, quickly, take it out!”
“What’s going on? Why the commotion?” Empress Dowager was taken aback as she watched Princess Xuehua run wild, heading straight for the crystal vase on the table. In alarm, she shouted, “Stop her, quick, stop her!”
Unfortunately, Empress Dowager’s warning came too late. Princess Xuehua collided with the delicate crystal vase, producing a sharp and deafening crash as it shattered into countless pieces. On top of that, the impact of the collision caused the princess’s head to start bleeding.
Su Qian watched the scene quietly as the plump mouse climbed onto Princess Xuehua’s back.
Just as she feared she hadn’t done enough, the rat bit Princess Xuehua as soon as it reached her back.
“Ahhh!” Princess Xuehua let out a loud scream and jumped out in a frenzy, vigorously slapping at the plump mouse that was scurrying around her body. She cried so much that her makeup was smeared into a colorful mess by her tears.
“Don’t be afraid, Princess. 1 will save you!” The maid was so scared that she grabbed a nearby wood stool and swung it towards Princess Xuehua, aiming for the plump mouse that was still on her back.
“My stool!” Empress Dowager’s face turned pale as she raised her hand to speak, but before she could finish her sentence, there was a loud noise.
The maid knocked Princess Xuehua down with the stool, injuring her badly, then leaving her dizzy while her vision went black.
“Is it dead? Is it?” The maid asked in a frightened tone, raising the stool in a state of panic.
“Chirp chirp!” The fat mouse not only didn’t die, but also crawled out from Princess Xuehua’s collar, and stood on top of her head.
The maid was greatly shocked, and subconsciously smashed the stool down.
“No, don’t!” Princess Xuehua saw this scene out of the corner of her eye and screamed in fright, only to be hit on the head by the stool wielded by the maid.
With Princess Xuehua’s cries of pain, she passed out, and the stool shattered into pieces. The fat rat, however, was unfazed, chirping as it left Princess Xuehua and flew towards the maid’s face. It opened its mouth and bit down on the maid’s nose.
“Ah!” The maid was so frightened that she burst into tears and fled in all directions, shouting, “Help! Help!”
The maid stumbled and knocked over a folding screen, then accidentally stepped on Princess Xuehua’s body.
Princess Xuehua wailed as she woke up. She was pinned down by the fallen maid, with the fat mouse running back onto her and firmly covering her face.
As if possessed, Princess Xuehua ran around like a madwoman, destroying everything in her path.
“Don’t, don’t go over there!” At this moment, Empress Dowager saw Princess Xuehua approaching the treasure box, looking ferocious and mad, which scared her and took her breath away.
Princess Xuehua didn’t care about anything else. She rushed forward and with a loud bang, knocked over the treasure box.
Instantly, the crisp sound of crashing, banging, and clanging filled the air. The porcelain and jade on the treasure box were all shattered into pieces.. Princess Xuehua screamed as she fell onto the shards, grabbing the fat rat on her face and throwing it away in despair!
