Before Xia Dongchun could ask what Noble Borjigit meant, she saw Noble Borjigit let go of her hand and walked straight to the pool.

"elder sister--"

Before Xia Dongchun could finish his words and before Yunling and Zisu could react, Nobleman Borjigit fell into the water.

"My lady!" Zi Su rushed forward, but only had time to grab the hand of nobleman Borjigit. She was also knocked over because the ground was too slippery.

"Sister!" Xia Dongchun was startled and quickly shouted, "Help! Help! Someone fell into the water!"

Yun Ling's hands were shaking as she supported Xia Dongchun. After hearing Xia Dongchun's voice, she turned around and ran out: "Hurry up! Come and save him! Mr. Borjigit has fallen into the water! Help!"

Soon a guard heard the noise and ran over. Seeing the situation, he was also panicked for a moment, but saving people was still the most important thing. After a period of chaos, Lady Borjigit was carried back to Zhongcui Palace in a sedan chair.

Xia Dongchun stood there in a daze. Just now, the nobleman Borjigit, who should have fainted, seemed to reach out and pull her hand.

"My lady? My lady? Shall we go and take a look too?" Yun Ling didn't know why she suddenly stopped, as she was still thinking about the noble Borjigit.

No matter how stupid Yun Ling was, she knew for whom Noble Borjigit did that, so at this moment, she was really worried about Noble Borjigit.

"Let's go and take a look." Xia Dongchun came to his senses and knew that he could not let noble Borjigit waste his energy. He took Yun Ling with him and hurried to Zhongcui Palace without even bothering to sit in the sedan chair.

Yangxindian

Yinzhen was reviewing memorials when Su Peisheng came in: "Your Majesty..."

Yinzhen looked up, but saw that Su Peisheng was silent. He immediately frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"

Su Peisheng wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Borjigit and Concubine Xia have had an accident in the Imperial Garden."

"How could something go wrong?" Yinzhen's face changed immediately when he heard that something happened to Xia Dongchun. After all, Xia Dongchun was pregnant.

Su Peisheng bowed, his face showing a worried look: "It is said that Concubine Borjigit and Concubine Xia went to the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Who would have thought that someone accidentally spilled some sweet-scented osmanthus oil on the edge of the lotus pond. Concubine Borjigit had just arrived at the lotus pond, and before she could even look at the flowers, she fell into the water. Fortunately, Concubine Xia hadn't arrived yet."

"Is Xia seriously injured?" Yinzhen had already stood up anxiously, but when he heard that the person who fell into the water was not Xia Dongchun but noblewoman Borjigit, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

"Although Lady Xia didn't fall into the water, she was frightened and her fetus was disturbed. She is now in Zhongcui Palace, and the imperial physician is treating her." Su Peisheng reported word for word. "The Empress has gone. Would His Majesty like to go and take a look?"

"Come with me and take a look." Yinzhen put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and walked out, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. "What do those palace maids and eunuchs do for a living? Accompanying the master to appreciate the flowers can cause trouble for the master!"

Su Peisheng followed closely, turned around and waved to Xiao Xiazi to follow, and a group of people followed Yinzhen to Zhongcui Palace.

"How could you be so careless?" The Queen frowned as she looked at the noble Borjigit who was still sleeping on the bed. She turned her head to look at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground. "You were just accompanying the master to appreciate the flowers, but you let the master fall into the water! What use are you?"

It can be said that the emperor and the empress are worthy of being husband and wife, as what they say is almost exactly the same.

Xia Dongchun was sitting aside, and the imperial physician was taking her pulse. Xia Dongchun's eyes never left the noble Borjigit lying on the bed.

She was not sure whether it was her illusion or whether Mr. Borjigit really pulled her hand.

After reprimanding the palace maids and eunuchs, the queen turned to Xia Dongchun and asked the imperial physician who was taking her pulse: "Doctor Zhang, is Concubine Xia in trouble? Is the baby in her belly okay?"

Doctor Zhang withdrew his hand, stroked his beard, knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, although the young lady was frightened, her body has always been healthy and the fetus has been stable, so there is no problem. Just don't let her be frightened again."

"That's good." The queen stroked her chest, as if she was finally relieved. "It's just a pity for the noble Borjigit to suffer such a disaster."

When Yinzhen came, he just heard these words.

"The Emperor has arrived——!"

Su Peisheng's voice came, and the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in the room also moved their bodies and changed their direction to greet Yinzhen: "Greetings to the Emperor."

"Your Majesty..." Xia Dongchun stood up, her eyes misty, but she did not forget to salute, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"The Emperor is here too." The Queen looked at Yinzhen, "I have just asked the Imperial Physician, and Concubine Xia's pregnancy is fine."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yinzhen glanced at the queen and walked straight towards Xia Dongchun. "It's already this time? You're still concerned about etiquette."

"Your Majesty..." Xia Dongchun pursed her lips and glanced at the noble Borjigit on the bed, her nose sour, "Someone wants to harm me!"

Yinzhen's expression suddenly changed.

If it was an accident, it would be fine. Just punish those incompetent palace maids and eunuchs.

But if this was man-made, then it must have been aimed at the child in Xia Dongchun's belly!

Yinzhen's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, but he was still rational: "What do you mean?"

"Yes, Lady Xia, I know you were frightened this time, but you can't say anything without evidence in this palace." The Queen also said, with a look of concern on her face, "But don't worry, if what you said is true, I and the Emperor will definitely give you and Lady Borjigit justice."

"Your Majesty, Empress," Xia Dongchun pinched her thigh secretly, the pain made her burst into tears, "I dare not speak nonsense, that place is rarely visited, and I am the only one who often takes Yunling there because I love to watch the fish in the lotus pond and know that the fish like to swim there."

Speaking of this, Xia Dongchun burst into tears.

Yun Ling quickly added, "Yes, I am the only one who often goes there with my young master. You know, it's a remote place. Even the eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for sweeping the imperial gardens don't usually go there. How could there be osmanthus oil for combing hair on the ground?"

After hearing this, Yinzhen probably had an idea in his mind, and the queen's eyes were also filled with understanding.

"Okay, you are pregnant, don't be so sad, or you might get pregnant." Seeing Xia Dongchun crying so sadly, Yinzhen advised her and promised, "Don't worry, if this was really done intentionally, the Queen and I will investigate it and will not let you and Noblewoman Borjigit suffer for nothing."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Xia Dongchun nodded, "Your Majesty is wise, and your Majesty is kind. I... I am grateful to you, but it's a pity that Sister Borjigit hasn't woken up yet."
