The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

The place where they sat was ingeniously designed, overlooking the Thousand Carp Pond. Through the hollow wood under their feet, they could see the red carps swimming, which was quite interesting.

Concubine Qi looked at the fish and said, "Your Majesty, this is my first time in the Thousand Carp Pond. Look at the fish, they are bright red and very pretty."

Zhu Dingyuan seemed to be in a good mood. He hummed and said, "I guess you don't know the legend of the Thousand Carp Pond, Queen."

The Queen smiled and told Zhaoyue the legend of the Red Tail Fairy. Immediately there was an uproar at the table. Concubine Ling was even more delighted: "This is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing. The Queen Mother is truly blessed by the heavens and has great fortune."

Zhu Dingyuan stood up and said, "Don't sit still, Huang Quan, bring some fish food."

The concubines stood up and followed the steps of His Majesty. Zhaoyue also stood up, but found that Concubine Lan was sitting in her seat. She shook her head at the maid, then stood up with an uncomfortable look on her face.

She covered her stomach, seeming to be in great discomfort, but afraid of being discovered, so she quickly put her hands down and followed with the help of her maid.

The queen was standing next to Zhu Dingyuan, but he reached out his hand to Concubine Gao. Concubine Gao blushed, glanced at him coquettishly, and placed her hand in his palm.

The Queen kept smiling, her emotions undetectable, and Concubine Ling became jealous again.

"Mr. Ning." Zhu Dingyuan suddenly spoke. Ning Ruxin was stunned for a moment and quickly stood beside him.

Now Concubine Gao looked unhappy. Although the women were smiling, the atmosphere was very heavy. Zhu Dingyuan, on the other hand, curled his lips and pointed at the precious carp in the pond and spoke.

Zhaoyue stuck out her tongue. Seeing herself being hugged by men on both sides like this again, she didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion in her heart. Instead, she felt a little resistant.

In her previous life, she tried her best to stand by Zhu Dingyuan's side.

If a person were to live his life again, would his mentality completely change?

As a man, Zhu Dingyuan has a gentle appearance, but he is powerful and owns the whole world. Such a man has a fatal attraction to them.

When you step into the palace, you can only use all your efforts to gain a little favor from him. Gradually, you don’t know whether you love him or want to survive in this palace.

But now, Zhaoyue understood very clearly that she did not love Zhu Dingyuan, but loved the throne that could dominate her own destiny.

She retracted her gaze, looked at the fish in the pond, and took the fish food from Taoxi's hand with a smile.

Lanpin stood two steps away from her, her face becoming paler and paler, but no one noticed that Zhaoyue pursed her lips.

A concubine, but her presence is as strong as hers.

She couldn't bear it, so she closed the fish food and handed it to Taoxi. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and moved closer to Lanpin: "Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? You don't look so good."

Lanpin seemed startled and smiled: "No, nothing, maybe I had an upset stomach and feel a little uncomfortable."

"Then sister, don't stand there. Go and have a rest." Zhao Yue said with concern, glancing at her flat belly inconspicuously.

"Thank you for your concern, Pearl. Help me over there."

Lanpin nodded to Zhaoyue and was about to turn around when a scream came from the front.

Zhaoyue and Lanpin looked together and saw that Concubine Gao, who had just been standing next to His Majesty, had fallen into the Thousand Carp Pond, and there was an outcry all around.

"Someone! Go save the imperial concubine!"

"Your Majesty the Concubine! Your Majesty the Concubine!"

"What should we do? Our queen can't swim!"

Zhaoyue ran over and saw Concubine Gao thrashing around, obviously out of panic and out of strength.

The water in the Thousand Carp Pond was not deep, but there were many fish and lush lotus leaves, which might have hidden silt. Concubine Gao was so nervous that she couldn't stand up at all.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…!” She cried for help, but ended up drinking a big gulp of water, choking and making her face turn red.

The Imperial Guards came quickly, and Zhu Dingyuan was furious: "Hurry up and rescue the imperial concubine!"

But Concubine Ling suddenly said, "Your Majesty! How can the Imperial Guards touch the body of the Imperial Concubine?"

Concubine Qi also quickly asked, "Is there a maid who can swim?" She also turned around and said to Ning Ruxin, "The Imperial Concubine was closest to Concubine Ning just now. How could the Imperial Concubine fall into the water when she was fine?"

Ning Ruxin's cheeks turned pale: "No..."

So many people saw the imperial concubine struggling in the water. The imperial guards took off their outer robes, but they did not dare to jump in without the order of His Majesty.

Concubine Gao's strength in struggling became weaker and weaker, her hair scattered in the water, and she looked increasingly miserable.

Zhao Yue looked at their expressions with dark eyes.

Tao Xi suddenly grabbed her wrist and shook her head at her: "Young Master..."

Zhaoyue patted the back of her hand, took off the hairpin on her head that could not get wet, and jumped into the water resolutely.

"Little Master!"

"Ah! Who went down?" Concubine Ling covered her mouth and shouted.

"Oh my god, it's Zhao Changzai!"

Zhaoyue shivered from the cold water, and swam over to grab Concubine Gao's hand, holding her body and carrying her to the shore.

But she was too scared, and she immediately clung to Zhaoyue, lying on her shoulder and sobbing softly: "Help... Help me..."

"My lady... the water is not deep, don't be afraid..."

Zhaoyue clapped her hands with difficulty, but they kept getting tighter and tighter, what a fool!

Now she will pay with her life!

Plop, two more sounds of water.

When the water almost submerged her, someone grabbed her waist, and then the strength in her body was relieved.

A hoarse voice appeared beside her ears: "Don't sleep... Zhaoyue..."

She opened her eyes and saw a handsome face of a banished immortal, floating in the water like a dream.

Could it be the Fishtail Immortal...

Concubine Gao was rescued to the shore by a maid. Zhaoyue was strangled by her neck and choked on some water, becoming difficult to breathe and fainted.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at the chaotic scene, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Go get the imperial physician! Send them all to Yanxi Palace!"

A group of people hurried towards Yanxi Palace again.

Yan Xi was in the palace.

Zhu Dingyuan sat on the couch with a gloomy face. No one in the hall dared to say a word. The queen coughed lightly and offered the teacup: "Your Majesty, I will just stay here. My sisters are blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to them."

She had a look of self-blame on her face: "It's all my fault. I was fine, but I insisted on going to the Thousand Carp Pond."

Zhu Dingyuan's expression eased a little after hearing this. He took the teacup and took a sip: "It has nothing to do with you."

Concubine Ling and the others stood aside, saying nothing.

The imperial physician came out and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is fine. She just fainted due to shock."

Zhu Dingyuan put down the teacup: "The other one..."

The queen reminded, "Zhao Chang is here."

"How is Zhao Changzai?"

"I often choke on water more than noble people. The water in the pool is cold. Although it is not serious, I have a high fever."

Zhu Dingyuan frowned: "Are you awake?"

"You can wake up after the fever goes down."

"Forget it, Queen, you stay here and I'll come back when you wake up." Zhu Dingyuan stood up.

"I understand. Huang Quan, escort His Majesty out."
