Hidden in the court

After preparing myself mentally, I leaned forward a little more.

"Plop, whoosh—"

"Help, help!"

The next moment, the sound of someone falling into the water and the cry for help reached everyone's ears.

"Oh no! Her Highness the Princess has fallen into the water. Hurry up and save her!"

A maid was the first to cry out.

The queen opened her eyes and looked to the other side in confusion. At this time, only Concubine Liang was standing on the bridge, looking at her hand in mid-air in disbelief, and she didn't know where to put it for a moment.

At this time, Concubine Liang also turned her head dully and looked at the Queen. The two looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds: "Why did she fall into the water?"

"thump--"

There was another sound and Nangong Xiao jumped into the water.

I hadn't swum twice in the water when I felt my body sink. I should have taken off my clothes earlier, but now I didn't have time to think about it. I could only drag Nangong Bian to the shore.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand why they had to dig such a large and deep lake, why the bridge had to be built so high, and why there were no guardrails.

Is it just for the sake of looking good?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also fallen into the water!"

The eunuchs and palace maids on the shore were all in chaos, not because they were inexperienced, but because they were too experienced.

They are all the Queen and Concubine Liang's people, and they have seen a lot of things like this. What if this is the master's intention? Who in this palace can't have an accident?

Look, can’t you see that the master hasn’t moved? Just howl a few times and wait.

Their thoughts were correct, but what they were waiting for was the master's scolding: "What are you standing there for? Save people!"

The eunuchs and palace maids immediately took action. Some needed to find bamboo poles, some needed to call for help, and some needed to jump into the water.

Nangong Xiao, who was dragging the person, soon couldn't swim anymore. He didn't have much strength to begin with. After swimming twice, he felt that Nangong Bian's clothes were very heavy.

Nangong Bian turned her head to look at her brother and shook her head helplessly. In fact, she really wanted to say, why don't you let go and I will swim back by myself.

On second thought, it’s good to have a brother like this.

She was thinking about beauty. At this moment, Nangong Xiao felt that she was about to lose strength. Fortunately, the eunuchs also arrived. Without thinking twice, they rescued both of them.

Nangong Bian returned to the shore and looked at his brother who jumped down first to save him. Although he didn't swim for long, he still thought he was so handsome.

Then she looked at the two "aunts" in the distance. If she hadn't reacted quickly, their conspiracy would have succeeded today.

When Nangong Lin learned that his son and daughter had both fallen into the water, he rushed over in a hurry.

Then he heard that his son had a cold and fever.

"Doctor Wen, what did you say? My brother has a fever?"

"Yes, Princess, you heard it right. It may be that the Crown Prince has a weak constitution, so he caught a cold."

Doctor Wen immediately reacted and explained when he saw Nangong Bian’s surprised face.

It looks like my daughter should be fine, but my son is too weak.

"Wen Zhihan, how is the prince?"

Seeing that His Majesty had arrived, Doctor Wen immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I have already examined him. The prince is fine, he just caught a cold after falling into the water and now has a slight fever. I will prescribe two doses of medicine and he will be fine after two days of rest."

After hearing him say that his son was fine, Nangong Lin turned around and asked his daughter.

"Bian'er, are you okay?"

"Father, I'm fine. I just fell into the water and my brother jumped down and rescued me."

Nangong Lin felt a little weird. Oh, the person being rescued is fine, and the rescuer is lying down?

"You too, you've been jumping over that bridge since you were a kid, why were you so careless this time?"

In fact, he was just saying it casually, but Nangong Bian's face showed reminiscence, "I remember that Aunt Liang asked me to go to the bridge to see the scenery. I don't know why, but my waist sank and it felt like there were stones under my feet. I didn't stand firmly and... I fell into the lake..."

Nangong Bian seemed to be recalling the events in a very serious manner, while the Empress and Concubine Liang beside him were fidgeting as they listened.

Especially Concubine Liang, the Queen had already asked her, she had not pushed Nangong Bian. The Queen knew that this was probably the truth, and Concubine Liang was not that stupid.

Now it seems that Nangong Bian said this just to bite back. This little bastard is just like her dead mother.

No matter what they thought, Nangong Lin was really suspicious. After all, his daughter had said so much, and if he still didn't understand what she meant, then he would be a father in vain.

Immediately, his face turned angry, and he shouted at the person beside him, "Mrs. Liang, what's your explanation?"

"Your Majesty, I have not..."

Of course, Concubine Liang denied it flatly.

"So according to you, Bian'er fell down by himself? I suspect you now, you have to let me investigate, only then can I clear your name, what do you think?"

Concubine Liang didn't say anything else, but secretly looked at the Queen.

The Queen avoided her gaze, not wanting to be dragged down.

"Okay." Nangong Lin saw that she didn't say anything, so he took it as her consent. "From today on, Concubine Liang is not allowed to step out of the palace until the truth is revealed."

Then he shouted to Su Youde: "Su Youde, check it for me!"

Looking at the master's obvious hint, Su Youde knew very well that the best outcome of this matter would be for it to fall into oblivion.

Just as this matter came to an end, Nangong Xiao, who had been unconscious for a while, woke up.

As soon as I woke up, I saw Nangong Bian standing by my side.

"Wake up, Father, brother is awake."

Nangong Lin immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Mengyang, how do you feel?"

Nangong Xiao felt dizzy from all the headaches, and when he saw Nangong Lin, he said, “Father…”

"Hey, you talk, I'm listening."

I could only hear him mumbling something, but I couldn't make out what he was saying clearly.

Nangong Lin even put his ear closer, trying to listen more carefully, and now he finally heard it clearly.

"Can you please build a railing for the bridge..."

"Oh, fix it, fix it right away. Su Youde, check which idiot designed this bridge?"

Hearing this, Su Youde's face looked strange.

He vaguely remembered that this bridge was built during the reign of the previous emperor. It originally had railings, but the previous emperor thought it was ugly, so he redesigned this one. When he, Su Youde, had just entered the palace not long ago, he had moved the wood for building the bridge...

I have to say, it is indeed beautiful, and nothing happened when the late emperor was here. Now that it is here with Your Majesty, there must be a few of them in all four seasons of the year.

Come to think of it, the late emperor had only one empress, who was the biological mother of the current emperor. She couldn't just jump down by herself, right?

Afternoon

The grandfather and grandson were sitting in the yard playing chess, and Grandpa Hu quickly defeated Hu Die.

"Hey, General! Ying'er, you lost again."

Hu Die said nothing and just placed the chess pieces silently.

Since she had regained her female body, she had not been to the military camp. She was bored at home all day, and except for the occasional visit from Rowling, she had not done much.

Mr. Hu smiled and said, "If you don't have this kind of temper, don't wrong yourself. The car is one into two."

Butterfly remained silent and used his cannon to attack the horse.

"You, why bother?"

While chatting and laughing, the car moved from nine to two again.
