Xique was still holding the Little Princess in her arms, just about to hand her over to the Princess Consort.
Caiju and Lu Qiao suddenly screamed, startling Xique and the Princess Consort.
The ground was covered with fallen Jade Beads, the crisp sound drowned by the maid's panicked cries.
The maids thought something major had happened in the room and rushed inside.
Rushing too fast, she didn't notice her footing, accidentally stepping on the Jade Beads, causing a heavy fall.
Caiju carefully kicked aside the Jade Beads underfoot to check on the wet nurse.
As soon as she approached, she saw the tragic scene of the wet nurse bleeding from the seven orifices, scaring her into blacking out and collapsing to the ground.
Lu Qiao was right beside her, unable to catch her in time, and they both fell in a heap.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly came in, asking, "What happened here?"
Lu Qiao's face turned pale with fright, "The... the wet nurse is dead."
