Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

The side hall of Lifang Courtyard.

The night was long, and the moonlight poured into the inner hall through the carved window lattices, shining on a gorgeous brocade quilt.

Wang Qian slowly opened her eyes, only to feel dizzy and weak in her limbs.

She tried hard to recall and vaguely remembered the scene of herself falling into the water. The cold lake water was like thousands of needles and arrows piercing her bones, making her tremble all over.

She felt sore all over and had to hold on to the edge of the bed before she could sit up.

The surroundings were normal, but no one was around. On the stool beside her was someone's coat, which was the cherry purple color that she never liked to wear.

"Show Cane?"

Wang Qian called Xiuzhe's name softly, but her words sounded hoarse than ever before, which even scared herself.

It seemed very noisy outside, as if many people were arguing, and Xiu Ze was among them. When she heard Wang Qian's call, she said in surprise, "The master is awake!" Then she trotted in and looked at Wang Qian who had just woken up with concern.

Wang Qian felt a little relieved when she saw the familiar face, but her eyes were still filled with fear. She quickly held Xiuzhe's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice: "Xiuzhe, what happened? Who... who wants to harm me? Where is Concubine Shuo? Is she okay?"

Xiu Ze lowered her head, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and she replied softly: "Miss, this is your bedroom. When you fell into the water, I was not by your side. I only know that it was Concubine Shuo who sent you back. As for who wanted to harm you, I haven't found out yet..."

After hearing this, Wang Qian felt even more uneasy, her eyes wandering, as if she was recalling all the details of the past. She closed her eyes, sighed deeply, and her brows were full of worry.

"Empress Shuo..." Wang Qian sighed, thinking back to Hua Tangdi's request, and said softly, "When I feel better, we will prepare some gifts and go to thank you."

"Miss Xinye went back to the Imperial Garden a little earlier than me. When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, the guards had already blocked all the entrances and exits of the Imperial Garden and prohibited anyone from entering." Xiuzhe's eyes were slightly red, and she sobbed, "When I asked, I found out that something had happened to you, my master. It took me a lot of effort to find out the cause of the matter."

Wang Qian calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Then tell me what you mean."

Xiuzhe did not answer immediately, but brewed a pot of hot tea, brought it to Wang Qian, and said softly: "Master, please drink some hot tea first. The imperial physician has advised that the master fell into the lake and the cold invaded the body, so the master should avoid excessive worry and long-term overwork in the next few days. In addition, you must drink medicine three times a day to force the cold out of the body. The master has not had time to drink tonight's portion, so I will ask the kitchen to boil medicine for you."

Wang Qian took the teacup and took a sip. Her heart was still beating fast, but on the surface she had returned to her usual calm.

Xiu Ze said nothing more, turned around and told the kitchen to prepare the medicine. After a while, she came back with the steaming hot medicine soup, gently moved the teapot on the round table, put down the medicine bowl, sat back next to Wang Qian, and said slowly: "Master, the imperial physician has instructed that this medicine must be drunk hot to be effective. The dew is heavy in the autumn night, you must drink it while it is hot, otherwise it will be wasted when it gets cold."

Wang Qian understood what he meant and said, "Then you should close the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing in and chilling the medicine."

Xiuzhe closed the door, and the noise outside was much quieter, and the room suddenly became quiet. She came back and helped Wang Qian lean on the soft pillow, scooped some of the dark brown medicine in the medicine bowl with a small porcelain spoon, put it in front of her mouth and blew it, and then fed it to Wang Qian after seeing that it was no longer steaming.

Wang Qian took the porcelain spoon, looked at Xiuzhe with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Don't worry about taking the medicine. Xiuzhe, tell me what's going on first."

Xiu Ze took a deep breath and said, "Master, you fell into the water today because someone deliberately murdered you. I heard from Miss Xin Ye who arrived first that a maidservant serving Liu Ronghua rushed out from behind you and Concubine Shuo, pretending to have sprained her ankle and accidentally bumped into you, but in fact she deliberately pushed you into Chengxin Lake, and then wanted to knock you unconscious with a stone! Upon seeing this, Concubine Shuo hurriedly went outside the Imperial Garden to ask for help, but when she wanted to enter the Imperial Garden again, she was blocked by Yu Liu!"

Wang Qian's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and the porcelain spoon in her hand almost slipped. She suppressed her shock and anger and said, "Yu Liu is Concubine Xian's man, and Concubine Xian is also involved!"

Xiu Ze nodded and said, "Although there is no direct evidence, Yu Liu intercepted the guards and doctors who came to save you, and her words and actions have exposed everything. If it weren't for Concubine Xian's care, Liu Ronghua would definitely not dare to commit the crime in front of Concubine Shuo!"

Wang Qian felt a wave of fear. She put down the porcelain spoon, clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, and asked, "Then how did I survive?"

Liu Ronghua and Empress Xian's scheme to harm people was brutal and effective, and she couldn't think of how she could escape from the web they had woven.

"Um, this..."

When Xiuzhe said this, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Wang Qian took a closer look and saw a hint of embarrassment hidden in her hesitation.

"Is it so difficult to tell you that I was rescued?" Wang Qian was confused.

Xiuzhe coughed twice, and quickly fed Wang Qian another spoonful of medicine, saying, "Master, don't worry about it for now. You are weak now, so you shouldn't worry too much."

"????"

Xiuzhe avoided the question, making Wang Qian even more confused.

"According to what you said just now, when I fell into the water, Concubine Shuo was not by my side. There were only Concubine Xian, Liu Ronghua and Liu Ronghua's attendants by the lake, and Yu Liu stopped the people who wanted to save me outside the Imperial Garden." Wang Qian was puzzled. "If that's true, could it be that I was rescued by those three people by the lake? They have done so many evil things, why would they suddenly regret it? Doesn't this give me the opportunity to sue them?"

Xiuzhe lowered his head awkwardly and said nothing.

When Wang Qian saw her reaction, she realized that she had guessed right.

"Indeed... it was Liu Ronghua who saved you, my master." Xiuzhe sighed heavily, suddenly raised his head and held Wang Qian's hand tightly, saying, "But my master must not have any illusions of mercy towards her! That evildoer was extremely terrifying, and she saved you not for anything else, but, but--"

"But what?"

"She has improper thoughts about you, my master!!!"

"?"

Silence is the Lifang Garden tonight.

"What did you say?" Wang Qian felt an indescribable emotion in her heart. She strongly suspected that she had misheard. "Fei, Fei what?"

Xiu Ze bit her lower lip and said, "Liu Ronghua has bad intentions towards you and wants to take you for himself when no one is around!"

Wang Qian's face froze: "Tell me in detail."

Xiuzhe wanted to cry but had no tears. She found it difficult to put into words the scene that Xinye described to her.

"Say it!"

Wang Qian's brain was about to explode. She never expected that Liu Ronghua was not only shameless and despicable, but also had a habit of polishing mirrors!!!

And the target is actually me! ! ! !
