I just want to rob you of your luck

While the guards were still hesitating, they saw a palace maid jump in and quickly rescued the woman in the water.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the woman who was rescued was actually Concubine Wan.

Most people were a little gloating, after all, they were all of noble birth, but His Majesty only favored a woman who was born as an actress.

It's really a bit jealous.

At this time, Concubine Rong had already arranged for someone to bring a blanket and cover Lin Jiuer.

From a distance, Fushun's voice chorused, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Everyone was shocked and bowed in greeting.

Zhu Heng didn't even look at anyone and hurriedly walked through the crowd.

Only a bright yellow figure and a faint scent of ambergris in the air were left.

Concubine Zhao clenched her fists in anger, and she didn't even realize that her nails were digging into her flesh.

Brother Heng is so nervous about this bitch?

She hated how Lin Jiuer was so lucky!

Zhu Heng knew that there would be a lotus viewing banquet today, so he met with several old ministers in the imperial garden.

Those young masters from aristocratic families moved around freely in groups of three or four, waiting for the opportunity to meet those noble ladies.

As a result, a palace maid came hurriedly and told Fushun that Concubine Wan had fallen into the water.

He felt extremely nervous at the time, so he quickly left everyone else and rushed to the edge of Lotus Lake.

He has been busy these days and has not been to the harem, but he is still thinking about Lin Jiuer.

He knew that he was having trouble getting over the hurdle in his heart, and wanted to see clearly whether he really liked the current Lin Jiuer or just wanted to treat her as a substitute for the late queen.

On the way, he suddenly realized that the person he liked was Lin Jiuer, and he was extremely nervous when he knew she fell into the water.

I was afraid that something might happen to her and I would never see her again.

He has always regretted deliberately ignoring her during this period of time. If anything happens to her, he will definitely regret it.

When he got closer, he saw Lin Jiuer's pale little face. She was sitting next to a palace maid, her body trembling slightly.

Zhu Heng didn't care about anything else and just walked over and picked the person up in a princess hug.

"Hurry up and call the imperial physician!" Zhu Heng roared.

He walked a few steps while holding Lin Jiuer, then suddenly stopped and said to Fu Shundao in a deep voice, "Find out why Concubine Wan fell into the water."

Fushun responded quickly, as he had already noticed the unconscious "palace maid" beside the tree.

Concubine Zhao and Yuemei both hung their heads with grim expressions, and Yuemei was extremely nervous.

Fu Shun immediately arranged for the Yulin Guards to seal off the scene and then began an investigation.

The concubines and female relatives were also interrogated and investigated as suspects, and there was a lot of complaints for a while.

Everyone has a new understanding of His Majesty's favor for Concubine Wan.

At this time, a little boy walked up to Rongpin and pulled her sleeve. He lowered his voice and said:

"Mother, we were playing Cuju just now, and I saw that the maidservant beside Concubine Zhao had contact with those two palace maids."

Concubine Rong was shocked. It seemed that it was Concubine Zhao who arranged this matter.

She pulled her son to a deserted corner and asked, "Did you see clearly? Are you sure Yuemei was the one who touched the ground?"

The eldest prince Zhu Cheng nodded and said, "Son is sure, because when he was playing Cuju, he accidentally bumped into that man. His hand was very strong and he almost pushed him down. That's when he noticed his face."

Rongpin hesitated for a moment and said, "Go quietly and tell Eunuch Fushun about this, but don't tell anyone else, understand?"

Zhu Chengxiao nodded like an adult, then went to find Eunuch Fushun.

Concubine Rong sighed lightly. She didn't want to fight for anything. She just wanted herself and her son to live a peaceful life.

But recently, Concubine Zhao has been obviously more hostile towards her, forcing her to be on guard.

Since she and Concubine Wan are fighting each other, she might as well help Concubine Wan.

In this harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones, having a son does not necessarily make the mother honored because of the son. It may even be a death warrant.

She would never let Cheng'er be harmed by anyone.

After hearing what the eldest prince said, Fushun immediately had Yuemei arrested and interrogated.

Although Concubine Zhao felt guilty, she still shouted angrily, "Fushun, you little dog slave, what right do you have to arrest my personal maid?"

Fu Shun appeared to be submissive: "Don't worry, Concubine Zhao. Everyone here is a suspect. If Miss Yuemei is innocent, I will definitely send her back to Yaohua Palace safely."

Concubine Zhao looked at Fushun viciously and said, "You rootless thing, you dare to arrest my people? Aren't you afraid that my father will come after you in the future?"

Fu Shun still smiled and said, "Madam Concubine Zhao, I am just following your orders. Please don't embarrass me. If you are innocent, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll take my leave."

After turning around, Fushun's face turned ugly. Eunuchs like them hated being called rootless the most.

After all, he was the most important eunuch beside His Majesty, and even some ministers would flatter him when they saw him. How could he not be angry when he was humiliated by a concubine?

In a side hall of Changle Palace, the imperial physician just took Lin Jiuer's pulse.

Zhu Heng asked quickly, "How is Concubine Wan?"

The imperial physician quickly replied, "Madam Wan was just frightened, and some water went into her lungs, and she caught a cold. I will prescribe a prescription for you to drink in a few days and she will be fine."

Zhu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard the imperial physician say, "Also, there are some bruises on Concubine Wan's wrist. I will prescribe some blood-dissolving plasters. Just apply them a few times a day."

He hadn't noticed it in his panic, so he quickly grabbed Lin Jiuer's hand to check the situation.

Sure enough, he saw a circle of purple marks on the wrist of his left hand. Zhu Heng became furious. Someone in the harem actually dared to attack Lin Jiuer so blatantly.

Lin Jiuer lay weakly on the bed, tears rolling down her eyes, making her look particularly pitiful.

"Your Majesty, I almost couldn't see you."

Zhu Heng asked everyone in the room to leave.

Then he took Lin Jiuer's hand and said distressedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I won't let anything happen to you."

Lin Jiuer seemed to have thought of something, her body trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, I don't understand why someone would want to kill me, why someone would be so bold as to attack me in the palace!"

A fierce look flashed in Zhu Hengfeng's eyes. It seemed that the process had to be accelerated.

After a while, Fushun came and Zhu Heng asked him in:

"How's the investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, Yuemei, who was beside Concubine Zhao, confessed. She took the entire blame, saying that she couldn't stand Concubine Wan and wanted to vent Concubine Zhao's anger."

Fu Shun did not mention the fact that the eldest prince had pointed out Yuemei. Now that there are only two princes, he naturally hopes to protect the eldest prince's safety.

Lin Jiuer said in disbelief: "Those two palace maids are clearly dressed like eunuchs. Could it be that they are also taking orders from a palace maid?"

Fu Shun replied respectfully, "Those two were eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department. They were said to be from the same hometown as Yue Mei. But when I went to interrogate them, they actually bit through the poison in their mouths and died."

Lin Jiuer felt a little regretful. It seemed that Concubine Zhao had found a scapegoat again like last time.

Zhu Heng was also clear in his mind that this matter must be related to Concubine Zhao. The Zhao family actually planted assassins in the palace, but now the matter could not be investigated further.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Pass the order to execute Yuemei by slow slicing, and let Concubine Zhao witness the execution!"

Fu Shun went down to convey the order, and Lin Jiuer looked at Zhu Heng with red eyes full of grievance.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that this was arranged by a little palace maid?"

Zhu Heng felt helpless, so he simply lay down and hugged Lin Jiuer to comfort her, "Jiuer, don't worry, I will seek justice for you sooner or later. I'm sorry for wronging you this time, I will arrange for your family to enter the palace, and let your mother come to the palace to visit you, how about that?"

Lin Jiuer didn't have any special feelings for the original owner's family, but judging from the original owner's memory, the family had a harmonious relationship and their feelings were still good.

She pretended to be flattered and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty, but this seems to be against the rules."
