Ever since Concubine Qi came up with the idea of ​​adopting Little Putao under her name, she became estranged from Concubine Qi. No matter what means Concubine Qi used, she would not let Little Putao set foot in Xuanhua Palace again.

She originally thought that Concubine Qi would never care about her and Little Putao again, but she didn't expect that in times of crisis, Concubine Qi would risk her own life to save Little Putao.

Regardless of Concubine Qi's mentality, she still remembered this favor.

Seeing that most people's attention was on Concubine Qi, Yun Zhining quickly filled a small bottle with some spiritual spring water, then walked up to Concubine Qi and handed the small bottle to Doctor Gao, who was so anxious that sweat was all over his forehead.

Doctor Gao was stunned for a moment.

"Empress Yi, what is this?"

"I asked the palace maid to get some rootless water, and then soaked some medicinal herbs that are beneficial to the body in it. When Little Grape was unconscious before, I used this potion to wake her up. I think it should be able to wake Concubine Qi as well."

Doctor Gao did not reach out to take it immediately, but glanced at Qi Yejing.

Qi Yejing nodded.

"There is no other way now. We can only try our best. Hurry up and feed the potion to Concubine Qi. If you can wake her up, it will be a good thing. If she still can't wake up, then she will die."

Seeing that Qi Yejing had no objection, Imperial Physician Gao quickly gave Concubine Qi the rootless water.

As soon as she drank it, Concubine Qi vomited several mouthfuls of water mixed with some blood, which must be the chronic disease in her body.

As soon as she woke up, she grabbed Yun Zhining's hand and asked if Xiao Pu Tao was okay. When she saw Yun Zhining shook her head, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was inconvenient to talk in the Imperial Garden, so everyone went to Xuanhua Palace.

In Xuanhua Palace, Concubine Qi was lying on the bed, Qi Yejing was sitting beside her, Yun Zhining was sitting beside her holding the weak little Grape, while the eldest prince and the second prince were standing opposite them, carefully telling the elders what had just happened.

"After Empress Yi left, we played on the flat ground for a while, and Feng'er wanted to go to the pond to feed the fish. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. I had no choice but to follow them."

"It was fine at first, but when we had just finished feeding the fish and were about to leave, a stone hit me and I fell backwards subconsciously. Feng'er and Xiao Pu Tao quickly grabbed me."

"But at this moment, another stone flew in from the darkness and hit Little Grape."

"In order not to get us into trouble, Little Grape had to let go and fell into the water herself."

"Seeing Little Grape fall into the water, we quickly found someone to rescue her."

"But before she could find the person, Concubine Qi jumped in to save her."

"You all know what happened afterwards."

"Qi Yefeng, do you know you are wrong?"

Qi Yejing shouted angrily, and the second prince fell to his knees on the ground with a bang. He was shaking all over and couldn't speak complete words.

Upon seeing this, the eldest prince immediately knelt down and pleaded for him.

"Father, this matter was clearly directed at me. It was me who implicated Little Grape and Concubine Qi. If you want to blame someone, just blame me. It has nothing to do with Feng'er."

Although the second prince is not as smart as the eldest prince, he is not the kind of person who would shirk his responsibilities.

Seeing that the eldest prince kept putting the blame on him, the second prince could no longer sit still.

"I am also at fault in this matter. If I hadn't insisted on going to the pond to feed the fish, my eldest brother wouldn't have been targeted by the thieves, Little Grape wouldn't have fallen into the water, and Concubine Qi wouldn't have ended up like this."

"This is all my fault. I am willing to be punished. Please punish me, Father."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude and did not make excuses, Qi Yejing's anger finally dissipated a little.

"Feng'er, the reason why father wants to reprimand you is not because you have done something unforgivable, but because he is worried that you will be in danger."

"Next time, don't go to such a dangerous place again. Even if you have to go, you must bring more people with you. People who are good at fighting, swimming, and medicine should be fully equipped. This is the only way to minimize the danger."

It is indeed very dangerous outside, but he cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater and lock all the children in the palace. They are still young and need to go out more often and see the outside world. Even adults cannot stand being confined for a long time and will collapse, let alone them.

Even if we take a step back, the biggest responsibility for this matter lies with him. It was his failure to control the harem that put the children in danger. He cannot shift all the responsibility onto the children just because he has no ability.

Besides, if someone wanted to harm others, they would be in danger even if they stayed in the palace honestly.

Therefore, keeping them in a circle and not letting them go out is just a last resort. If we want to truly solve this problem, we must find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Seeing that Qi Yejing not only did not blame him but also cared about him, the Second Prince burst into tears.

"Qi Yefeng, are you ashamed? The one who was plotted against was the eldest prince, and the one who fell into the water was Little Grape. Neither of them cried. How dare you, a person who only cared about the consequences, cry? Hurry up and wipe away your tears. Do you really want to embarrass your mother in front of so many people?"

As soon as Mrs. Lin came in, she heard the second prince crying loudly.

No matter what happened, she was always calm and treated people as gently as a spring breeze. However, every time she met the Second Prince, she would transform into a Hedong Lion and roar wildly.

This little bastard is really her nemesis!

What bad things did she do in her previous life to deserve this fate?

Look at the eldest prince, he has a graceful demeanor and acts like an elder brother. The third prince is well-behaved and cute. The fourth prince is smart and clever. The fifth prince is silly but does not cause trouble. Even the newborn sixth prince is chubby and very lovable. Only she gave birth to a fool.

I'm really pissed off by this little bastard!

As soon as the Hedong Lion roared, the little carrot immediately gave in.

"Mother, am I as lame as you say?"

"You are not just lame, you are extremely lame. If I could do it, I would definitely rebuild you."

"Okay, okay, just say less."

Although Zhou had not been formally canonized, she had already been included in the imperial edict, and was a foregone conclusion that she was the empress. Now that the empress had spoken, she naturally did not dare to say anything more.

"Your Majesty, I heard everything Concubine Yi said just now."

"Now is a time of trouble. We adults can still protect ourselves, but these children are in danger. So I suggest that the Second Prince and his men be equipped with four guards, two imperial doctors, four palace maids and four eunuchs each. Every time they go out, they must follow this standard and cannot go out without one person."

"Mrs. Lin, Concubine Yi, what do you think?"

"Everything is subject to the Queen's arrangements."

"Okay, since you all have no objection, then this matter is settled. I will have Dong Ling personally select the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs. As for the imperial physician, ..."

Qi Yejing's eyes moved between Imperial Doctor Gao and Imperial Doctor Chen for several times, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Zhou suddenly remembered something.

"Ever since the execution of Imperial Physician Song and his entire family, the Imperial Medical Bureau has been leaderless. The Emperor has been busy recently and has no time to take care of this matter. Otherwise, why not appoint a new judge today while everyone is here?"

"Now that the Imperial Hospital has a master, we can prevent power struggles from happening."
