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

The palace of Yanxi was silent. The queen sat upright with a bad look on her face. Xun Qiu said softly, "Your Highness, you have been delayed for a long time in taking the medicine. The concubines of Ling are here to watch over you. Can you go back and take the medicine first?"

Concubine Qi also nodded: "My lady, your health is very important."

Concubine Ling looked around and her eyes fell on Ning Ruxin. A cold light flashed in her eyes: "Xunqiu can order someone to bring the medicine. However, the imperial physician is here now.

So that the Queen wouldn't be tired from traveling back and forth, and... today's events are really strange, why would the Imperial Concubine fall into the water for no reason?"

She covered her chest with her hands, looking anxious: "Your Majesty was standing there at the time. If it was the Imperial Concubine who made a mistake, it would be fine. But what if it was someone with ulterior motives... I really don't dare to think about it..."

Concubine Ling was hinting at something, and her eyes kept resting on Ning Ruxin inadvertently. She naturally noticed it, and turned slightly to the side, her delicate cheeks turning pale.

The queen said coldly: "Okay, let's wait until Concubine Gao wakes up before we discuss anything else. Xunqiu, you go first."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Gao has woken up."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician. Please send someone to invite His Majesty."

Zhu Dingyuan came and just as he entered the room, Concubine Gao on the bed propped herself up, her gentle face looked pitiful, and she called out, "Your Majesty..."

The women present all looked unnatural.

Zhu Dingyuan held her in his arms, his eyes concerned: "How are you? Is there any pain? Are you feeling uncomfortable? The imperial doctors are here, don't be afraid, my beloved concubine."

Concubine Gao's eyes were red, and tears fell like beads. She looked at the gentle man with affection: "Your Majesty...

I was so scared, I thought I was going to drown... Someone, someone wanted to kill me!"

She trembled slightly, and held the man's hand with her slender hand. Zhu Dingyuan's eyes sank, and he rubbed it soothingly, turning back and saying, "Who has the guts to murder the imperial concubine!"

They knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Concubine Gao has always been gentle. Now she is biting her lip, and even though Zhu Dingyuan's heart is cold, he softens a little. The dark pressure of the emperor can be seen all over his body.

For a moment, the whole hall was silent.

"With so many people present at the time, no one saw who pushed the imperial concubine?"

Luluo, the maidservant beside Concubine Qi, suddenly cried and said, "Your Majesty, I saw it, but I dare not say it."

Concubine Qi raised her eyes and said, "Luluo, this matter concerns the Imperial Concubine and the Empress, so be careful with your words!"

Zhu Dingyuan: "Speak."

Green ivy prostrated herself on the ground, knocking her head on the ground: "I was standing beside the young lady, and was just getting some fish food when I saw Concubine Ning also asking her to get some fish food.

But she had a strange look on her face, and kept looking at the Imperial Concubine. At that time, Your Majesty was talking to the Empress, and then, I saw her stretch out her hand..."

Lan Er said angrily: "You are slandering me. How could my young master push the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Ling gave her a cold look and said, "You are such a bold servant! You dare to interrupt the master when he is talking. It is obvious that Ning Chang has always been bold and reckless. Even the maidservants have learned from her!"

Ning Ruxin knelt down, scolded Lan'er, and looked at His Majesty. She was indeed touching today. Even the noble concubine Gao who fell into the water was still at a disadvantage against her.

The pearl hairpins in her hair and the clothes she wore were all given by Zhu Dingyuan as a gift during his recent favor.

At this moment, her autumn eyes were watery, showing seven parts grievance and three parts stubbornness. She was like a graceful green lotus, with her slender neck tilted back.

"I have never done that. I will not murder the Imperial Concubine, let alone the Empress."

Your Majesty, I have only been in the palace for a short time and have no grudges against the Imperial Concubine. Why would I push the Imperial Concubine into trouble in front of so many people? "

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her, his brows seemed to be shaken. Concubine Gao in his arms looked at his expression and her eyes darkened.

Concubine Ling said, "That day, when the whole palace was present, the Imperial Concubine praised Chang Zai a few times, but Chang Zai turned pale and was then confined to her house. I'm afraid she holds a grudge against the Imperial Concubine because of this."

"It was my order. Why do you hold a grudge against the imperial concubine?"

"This..." Concubine Ling's face changed and she stopped talking.

The Queen said, "Luluo, you are someone close to Concubine Qi. Do you know what it means to slander your master? There is no evidence today, only your words. Did you really see it?"

Luluo trembled: "My Queen, I really saw it."

Ning Ruxin kept looking at Zhu Dingyuan, her eyes filled with grievance, without saying a word or arguing.

Zhu Dingyuan lowered his eyes: "My lord, did you see who pushed you?"

Concubine Gao frowned. She looked at the crowd of people kneeling in front of her, then looked at the Queen, still unsure.

The Queen was indeed talking to His Majesty at the time, and they were standing close to each other. There was a lot of noise at the time, and she was looking at the fishes, and suddenly she was pushed down.

But today's incident, seeing as it was targeting Ning Ruxin, was like killing two birds with one stone. If she really drowned, huh?

Now, even if it wasn't Ning Ruxin who did it, it didn't matter to her. Concubine Gao sobbed a few times and propped herself up: "Mr. Ning, if my sister said something wrong that day, you shouldn't...you shouldn't..."

Ning Ruxin's body shook, and the tears that had been in her eyes fell down. She said to Zhu Dingyuan in a low voice: "I have no right to defend myself, but I have never done it, and I do not admit my guilt."

The queen sighed, coughed a few times, and pleaded with the man: "Your Majesty, this matter is full of doubts. It was me who insisted on coming to the Thousand Carp Pond, and the noble concubine fell into the water. In the final analysis, I am also to blame."

Zhu Dingyuan's eyebrows were filled with impatience, and he finally said coldly: "Mrs. Ning's words and deeds are inappropriate, and she intends to murder the imperial concubine. She will be demoted to a concubine and reflect on her mistakes in Yaohua Garden!"

Ning Ruxin closed her eyes, tears falling on her skirt: "Your servant... obeys your order."

The Queen followed him and said, "Your Majesty, those two servants who have made great contributions."

"The Queen is free to decide!" He looked extremely annoyed at the moment.

"Is Zhao Changzai here?"

Zhu Dingyuan stopped walking: "She woke up?"

"He is still very weak. The doctor said he just opened his eyes."

Zhu Dingyuan looked towards the side hall and walked towards it.

Zhaoyue coughed a few times and felt her chest was full of water, making her feel stuffy. She took her hands out of the quilt, the door was opened, and her eyes were a little dazed.

Was it the immortal who saved her?

The face in front of me gradually became clear. It was His Majesty.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her, his eyes lost for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "How are you..."

Zhaoyue's appearance is extremely beautiful. She is different from all the gentle beauties in the palace. She is neither a lily nor a peony, but a rose with the beauty of a moon and a crabapple with the delicate and charming appearance.

No matter how much Zhu Dingyuan loved such a beautiful woman, he could not help but hold his breath and lose his mind when he saw her.

Same as the previous life.

Zhao Yue showed a timid look: "I... your concubine is fine, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty... ahem..."

She wanted to throw back the quilt and kneel down, but her body felt dizzy as her fever had just subsided.

Zhu Dingyuan saw her flustered look, and his voice was tinged with smile as he stopped her actions: "Okay, no need to salute."

The queen outside squeezed Xun Qiu's hand tightly, her eyes cast downward.

Xun Qiu: "My Lady..."

The queen turned around and said, "Let's go back to the palace. Your Highness has found another beauty. I'll take some rewards and send them to Ningzhu Pavilion later."

"Yes."
