No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Fourteen is already stupid.

Mother was always kind to him. She never hit him, and she never even said a harsh word to him.

Lao Jiu always complained that Concubine Yi had a hot temper and would whip him with a horsewhip at any time.

He felt happy watching Lao Jiu being beaten, and thought his mother was the most gentle mother in the world.

But now, this gentle cat toy really hurts when it hits my body!

"Mother! Mother!" Fourteen was beaten and ran around everywhere, calling for his mother.

Defei was so preoccupied with the thought that her son would drown that she could not hear his voice at all and could only focus on beating him.

It was Grandma Gao, who had served her for many years, who found an opportunity to take away the cat toy, and Fourteen was saved from physical pain.

But his heart was broken. He had just fallen into the water and suffered a lot. When he came back, he didn't receive any sympathy, but was beaten up.

When have I ever been treated like this?

He wants to leave home, no, run away from the palace!

Fourteen was young and strong after all. He had just caught a cold, but after being beaten, he sweated and felt almost better.

Without even looking at Concubine De, he turned around and ran back to the prince's residence to pack his things.

When Concubine De saw him running away, she fell to the ground without any image and burst into tears.

"My son, my son..." She was heartbroken.

Grandma Gao knew what she was thinking, so she went over, held her in her arms, and stroked her head over and over again.

He consoled her, "Your Majesty, it's all over, it's all over... Fourteenth Prince is fine."

De Fei slowly stopped crying, her breath weak, "Good? What's good about it? My Zuo'er, where is my Zuo'er?"

That was the child she had when she and the emperor were most affectionate. Zuo'er was the proof of the happiest time in her life.

But he was lying so cold in the lake, and could no longer call her mother.

"Your Majesty, it's all in the past. Let's look forward, look forward," Grandma Gao advised again.

Concubine De didn't say anything else, but she couldn't swallow the pain in her heart.

There was a fourth child because that woman wanted to push her to consolidate her favor, and she knew that the child was born for her.

But Zuo'er was different. The emperor really loved her at that time and wanted her to have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

He even named the child Yinzuo, which shows how much expectation this name carries.

At that time, she was holding Zuo'er's small body, but what she was thinking was, it would be better if it was the fourth brother who died.

That was just a momentary thought, but it was also her truest thought.

Fortunately, Defei was still Defei after all. She calmed down and summoned the servants around Fourteenth.

"Tell me, what's going on?!"

Concubine De looked at the servants with an unclear expression. The fire in her heart was about to burst out and burn down the palace.

These servants had been trained by her for many years and knew very well to protect Fourteen and prevent him from going to the lake.

This has been the case for many years, and Fourteen has never been exposed to water.

The last time Fourteen went to Fourth Brother's place and went down to the drained lake, she punished several people.

They will definitely be more dedicated this time, how could they make such a huge mistake?!

The leading servant, Doge, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the servants are always watching the Fourteenth Master."

"Even though it was chaotic at the time, we were all blocking the lake and wouldn't let Master Fourteen accidentally fall in."

"But at that time, for some reason the railing broke and we all fell down."

"When I opened my eyes again, the Fourteenth Master had fallen quite far away, like..."

"Like what?!"

"It looked like he was thrown in!" Douge said tremblingly, "On the way back to the palace just now, the Fourteenth Master told us that someone grabbed his feet and dragged him into the water."

"If the Fourth Master hadn't gone into the lake himself to rescue the person, by the time we found the Fourteenth Master, I'm afraid..." it would have been a corpse.

"What? The fourth prince saved him?" Defei didn't know what she remembered and her face darkened.

Doug said: "Yes, the Fourth Master disregarded his own safety and personally went into the water to save people."

"So that's how it is..." De Fei seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She leaned back on the chaise longue and waved her hand, "Go down and receive your punishment."

After Du Ge and the others left, Concubine De held Madam Gao's hand and burst into tears: "Madam, he still remembers Zuo'er, right?"

Her two sons fell into the water at the same time, one died and the other survived. This is a hurdle that she will never be able to overcome.

Whenever the fourth brother stood in front of her, she would think of Zuo'er's pale corpse.

Even if there is a lot of mother-son affection in my heart, I will still feel sad at the sight of her.

Every time I see him, the wound in my heart is opened again, bloody and painful.

Grandma Gao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Master is a man of deep affection. He will definitely remember the Sixth Prince."

"You see, he even learned to swim secretly."

Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes.

The Fourth Master is such a straight-laced person, he must be so regretful that he would secretly learn to swim.

Even though he would never have the chance to save the Sixth Prince in this life, he still went to learn.

The wound in Concubine De's heart was brought to light again, but this time it was different from before.

Her wound seemed to be coated with medicine and was not as painful as before.

She closed her eyes and said, "Yeah, how can this be Lao Si's fault? This is the fault of the person who harmed him behind the scenes!"

That person is already dead, and no one knows where he was reincarnated.

She and the fourth brother can't live in pain all their lives!

If that's the case, wouldn't that person be satisfied with what he wanted?!

"Yes, your Majesty, it's great that you can think it through." Grandma Gao cried with joy.

Over the years, she watched the mother and son, who were neither close nor able to stay away from each other, always feeling awkward and sad about each other.

I see it with my own eyes and feel anxious in my heart.

It couldn't be better now that Your Majesty can think clearly.

De Fei exhaled a breath of foul air and said: "Yes, after all, he is my own son, so I am still thinking about his younger brother."

"The fourth brother jumped into the lake to save someone, and I think he caught a cold. He has never been as healthy as his brothers. Please ask the imperial physician to treat him."

"Pick some tonics from my private storehouse and send them to him. Tell him to rest well, and then call Gao Tian over."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Grandma Gao took the order excitedly.

Concubine De clenched her fists, thinking about what had happened to her two sons, a grim look appeared in her beautiful eyes:

She is no longer the weak woman who can only cry. Dare to touch her son, hum...

Gao Tian came soon, and she gave a few instructions before leaving the palace.

The servant carrying the tonic followed Zhang Yuanzheng all the way to the Prince's Mansion.

The Fourth Master was already lying in Linfengju, and Lin Mingyan took a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.

She didn't expect that the Fourth Master was such a fragile person. After going into the water to save people, he developed a high fever.

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have asked you to go down," Lin Mingyan said a little worriedly.

In this day and age, colds are a fatal disease!

Dr. Hua has come to see me, but even after taking the medicine, the fever hasn't subsided at all.

Su Peisheng was also there, and when he saw Zhang Yuanzheng coming, he almost burst into tears.

"Zhang Yuanzheng, please show us~!"

This Dr. Hua believed the letter from the miracle doctor in vain, it's of no use!

Lin Mingyan also quickly stood up to make room for Zhang Yuanzheng...
