Now, whether it is Zhiyan or the little princess, they are people that no one else can afford to offend in the harem of Yan Kingdom.

They walked together in the garden, and even if they met other people, they only dared to greet them from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

The little princess was innocent and romantic. She looked at the scenery around her as she walked and did not pay attention to which road she was taking.

But Zhiyan had a plan and unknowingly brought the little princess to the vicinity of the koi pond.

Before they got close, the clear sound of running water came into their ears. When the little princess heard the sound of water, she immediately became interested and pulled Zhiyan's sleeve and said, "Let's go feed the fish. Feeding fish is fun."

"Okay." Zhi Yan naturally would not refuse. She just secretly winked at the palace servant beside her. The palace servant understood and his face turned slightly pale, but he still nodded silently.

The scenery around the koi pond is pleasant. Golden and red koi swim around in the clear water. There are many people feeding them, so they are not afraid of people. They will even come over when they see someone appear, sticking half of their round heads out of the water with their round mouths open.

The little princess stretched out her hand to touch the koi, but it swam away quickly again. She was so anxious that she immediately ordered the palace servants around her to get fish food, and she couldn't be any slower.

"These koi are growing so well." Zhiyan stood by with a smile on her face. Seeing the little princess completely unguarded, she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

However, she had no better solution. She just wanted to prepare in advance for Madam Yu to attack her.

Zhiyan made up her mind and walked a few steps closer to the koi pond. She estimated the distance and the depth of the water, and looked around carefully to make sure that there was no one else except her palace maids. She closed her eyes and fell into the pond without hesitation.

Pfft!

The huge splash caused by falling into the water scared the unprepared little princess so much that she took a big step back, staring blankly at Zhiyan who was struggling in the water.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Concubine Zi fell into the water!" The palace maids brought by Zhiyan screamed.

After a period of chaos, Zhiyan was rescued and carried back to the palace dying.

Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the king.

He rushed to Zhiyan Palace as soon as possible.

All I saw was Zhiyan with wet hair sitting on the bed, drinking medicine one sip at a time, her face pale and pitiful.

"What's going on? What are the servants doing?" The king was furious, not knowing whether he felt sorry for Zhiyan or for the baby in her belly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm fine. The imperial physician came over just now and said the child is fine too." Zhiyan quickly put down the bowl and said considerately, "I was so engrossed in looking at the koi that I didn't pay attention to my feet. I'm fine."

The more she said this, the more the king suspected there was something else going on, but looking at her expression he did not ask her any further questions and just sat beside her to comfort her.

Then the king walked out of his bedroom and asked the palace servants around him to call up all the people who followed Zhiyan.

"Tell me, what's going on with Concubine Zi?" The king was so intimidating without even getting angry that everyone was so frightened that they lowered their heads and dared not raise them.

But no matter how they asked, everyone insisted that Zhiyan fell into the koi pond accidentally and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

"Others? Who else was there at the time?" The king felt that he had discovered the key point and continued to ask questions.

This could not be concealed, so the palace servant had to tell the little princess about it.

The king was silent for a moment.

He doted on the youngest daughter born to Madam Yu and was usually spoiled by her. However, when something like this happened, the palace servants kept making excuses for the little princess, which made him suspicious.

Before he could continue asking, Madam Yu came rushing over after hearing the news.

She had only heard that Zhiyan fell into the water and didn't know the situation at the time. She hurried over to show her gentleness and virtuousness. She didn't expect to meet the king's scrutinizing and suspicious gaze as soon as she arrived.

The little princess had returned to her own bedroom by now.

She didn't know anything, she was just frightened by Zhiyan falling into the water just now, and she was still absent-minded after coming back.

Shi Li had quietly returned a long time ago. Seeing her like this, not knowing what had happened for the time being, she took the initiative to take over the job of pouring tea and walked over.

She handed the hot tea to the little princess and said softly, "Your Highness doesn't look well. Have a sip of hot tea first."

"I'm fine, but how did Concubine Zi fall into the water so carelessly? When she was rescued, her face was so pale..." The little princess really held the teacup and told everything.

Shi Li was standing below, and his eyebrows slightly raised when he heard that.

Sure enough, Zhiyan took action.
