Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Miss Hong's fall into the water did not cause much commotion.

With the help of her maid, Miss Hong turned around and left, heading to the side room to change her clothes.

The palace banquet did not begin until the evening.

Lan Kexin, Lan Weiwei, Madam Lan, and Jiang Jingjuan were all sitting in the seats in the Marquis' Mansion.

Lan Kexin didn't want to attract too much attention from others.

Try to sit on the far right.

She watched the dancers dancing quietly.

Listen carefully to the music played by the musicians.

While pinching the cake in his hand and feeding himself.

He looked like he was enjoying himself completely.

The young masters from each family were whispering to each other.

The young ladies from each mansion sat together with their elders.

On the platform are the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Emperor.

Among those they targeted were the princes and princesses.

Ever since the Sixth Prince recovered.

The Queen Mother has been freed.

At present, the Empress Dowager's headache was completely handed over to Doctor Lu from the Imperial Hospital.

Doctor Lu is the newest acupuncture expert recruited.

Specially responsible for helping the Queen Mother regulate her health.

The Queen Mother is in very good spirits at the moment.

Looking at the young ladies and young masters present.

When her eyes caught sight of Miss Hong.

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened.

He turned his gaze directly to Lan Kexin.

The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly, and the musicians immediately stopped playing their instruments.

The dancers also retreated one after another.

"Yaoguang County Master."

Lan Kexin originally just planned to eat the pastries peacefully.

As she watched the dancers retreat, she was still waiting for the next group of dancers to come up and perform!

As a result, the voice of the Queen Mother was heard from the high platform.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Lan Kexin had to stand up and bow to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, your servant is here."

Seeing Lan Kexin with a calm expression.

The Queen Mother was very unhappy.

Lan Kexin had been away from the capital for such a long time, but no news was sent back to her.

Moreover, the Ye family suffered such a huge loss this time. Apart from the contribution of the Sixth Prince, the most important person was this girl.

If it weren't for her, there's no way Mount Badon would be gone.

For the time being, she couldn't vent her anger on the Sixth Prince.

I can always get some compensation from this girl.

"Princess Yaoguang, you are the county magistrate personally appointed by the emperor, why did you stand by and watch someone die without helping?"

Lan Kexin looked at the Queen Mother in confusion.

A look of bewilderment on her face: "Queen Dowager, when did this subject stop helping someone in danger?"

The Queen Mother looked at Miss Hong.

"Just now, in the Imperial Garden, Miss Hong fell into the water for some unknown reason. You're a good swimmer, but you stood in the pavilion and watched. Are you worthy of the title bestowed upon you by the Emperor?"

Lan Kexin hasn't spoken yet?

Shui Wan'er stood up and bowed gracefully.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Queen Mother. May your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

The Queen Mother's eyes turned to Shui Wan'er.

Did the displeasure on her face fade a little?

"Shui girl, what are you going to do?"

Shui Wan'er smiled and slowly explained:

"Empress Dowager, I was there at the time. It's not that Princess Yaoguang didn't want to save Miss Hong. She had her reasons."

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened. She didn't expect that this girl would speak up for her.

"What's the reason? Is there anything more important in this world than losing one's life?"

Shui Wan'er smiled gently, "Queen Dowager, it was Miss Lan who was injured in Jingyang City. I heard that they were encircling a group called Badeng Mountain at the time, and perhaps she was injured there."

Lan Kexin was speechless after hearing this?

When did she say she was in Mount Baden?

What's more, Mount Badon is where the Queen Mother keeps her private army.

She also destroyed that place, and the Queen Mother was already angry with her.

Now, Shui Wan'er deliberately wanted to mention that place.

She was sure that Shui Wan'er did it on purpose.

She knew what the situation was.

Wanting to use the Queen Mother to treat her is truly vicious.

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened.

His face suddenly turned bad.

"The injury I sustained on Mount Badeng hasn't healed in such a long time. Is the doctor of County Master Yaoguang just a figurehead?"

Lan Kexin said lightly:

"To the Queen Mother, I was injured on Mount Baden. The wound has healed, but on the way back to the capital, I was injured again when I passed through Zhaojia Village in Jingzhou City."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly.

"A few minor injuries, can they be worth Miss Hong's life? This is clearly an excuse for not saving someone in danger. You are not worthy of serving the Yaoguang County Master."

The Queen Mother was extremely angry. Not only did her old nest get destroyed, but she was still rewarded.

But so what?

She would always find a way to get it.

Lan Kexin was not afraid. This reward was given to her by the emperor. What did it have to do with the empress dowager?

She looked at the emperor with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, I know that it is my fault for not saving someone from death.

However, I am not so generous as to sacrifice my life to save others. You can say that I am selfish or heartless, but I accept it.

Isn't she just a Yaoguang County Lady? If that's the case, then just take it back."

The Queen Mother was so annoyed that she wanted to speak.

But then I heard the emperor say:

"Princess Yaoguang, what you said, not only you, but no man can do it.

Who would sacrifice himself to save others? You don’t have to worry about that.”

The Queen Mother was angry.

"Will a mere wound kill you?"

Lan Kexin looked at the Queen Mother:

"If the Queen Mother doesn't believe me, can you ask the palace physician to diagnose me and see if my wound, if it comes into contact with the water in the pond, will kill me?"

She turned around and looked at the young ladies and gentlemen present.

Cold opening:

"I wasn't the only one there at the time. Wasn't there anyone who could swim? They were counting on me, a seriously injured person, to save him."

She pulled everyone down, and if the Queen Mother really wanted to punish them, everyone would be punished together.

Besides, she was a seriously injured person.

The Queen Mother didn't know how to start for a moment.

She wanted to use tough measures to take down Lan Kexin.

However, here are the emperor and ministers.

The emperor will definitely not agree.

"Princess Yaoguang, if that's the case, then let Imperial Physician Lu give you a thorough examination."

Without even waiting for Lan Kexin to nod in agreement.

The Queen Mother then looked at Doctor Lu who was in the crowd.

He is truly a doctor. He even carries his medicine box with him when attending a palace banquet.

Doctor Lu quickly walked to the center.

Looking at Lan Kexin, he said, "County Lady Yaoguang, I don't know where the wound is. Could you please show it to me so I can diagnose it?"

There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of eyes here.

He asked her to expose her wound openly.

Is this meant to humiliate her?

The Sixth Prince's cold voice came.

"Doctor Lu, you are really great! The Yaoguang County Lady is an unmarried girl, and you let her expose her skin in front of everyone.

Do you think there is no one behind her?

I still look down on this Yaoguang County Lady conferred by my father."
