Chapter 137 The Emperor's Suspicion

When Ling Yunche carried the unconscious Ruyi out of the water, Hongli's face on the boat was horrible.

"Didn't they say it was the Queen who fell into the water? What's going on?!"

The emperor's majesty was no joke. Everyone was frightened to their knees, not daring to look up.

Fu Cha Langya also walked out quickly with the support of Lian Xin. Because the makeup on her face took her two hours to put on, she did look a little sick.

"Your Majesty! What happened? I was sitting here peacefully."

Meipin feigned surprise and said, "Oh my God, how could it be Concubine Xian? Who is shouting nonsense?"

When the queen appeared in front of everyone unharmed, no one dared to say a word.

Only Ling Yunche was still there holding Concubine Xian, looking extremely anxious.

Li Yu and Hai Lan also surrounded the two of them anxiously.

This was the scene Wei Yanwan saw when she came over. Ruyi choked on water and temporarily fainted.

I didn't expect Ling Yunche to react so quickly and jump into the water to save people.

Shouldn't he be by the emperor's side?

But Ruyi had fainted, and her fingers were still tightly grasping Ling Yunche's sleeves, and they couldn't be pried open.

This made Hongli's face so gloomy that ink seemed to be seeping out.

Doctor Qi stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Noble Concubine Xian choked on water. We must drain the water from her lungs now. We shouldn't delay any longer."

However, just as Ling Yunche was about to get up, Ruyi's hand grabbing Ling Yunche's sleeve was revealed.

Helplessly, Qi Ru could only treat Ruyi in this way.

"Where is the maidservant beside Concubine Xian? Call her over for questioning!"

Suo Xin lowered her head, knelt before Hongli, and reported truthfully, "Your Majesty, the Queen said she felt a little bored last night and wanted to go out for a walk alone, and she didn't want me to follow her."

惢心 was about to cry out of grievance. Who knew that this crazy woman wouldn't stay in the hold at night and had to walk around outside!

"Noble Concubine Xian said no one should follow you, so you won't follow! Come! Drag this ignorant palace maid away and give her twenty lashes of the cane!"

If惢心 were really beaten with the stick twenty times, she would probably lose her life.

"Emperor——"

Jiang Yebin was about to plead for mercy when Wei Yanwan interrupted him, saying, "Your Majesty, the most urgent priority right now is to take care of Noble Concubine Xian's health. Noble Concubine Xian is kind and generous. If she knew that the maidservants around her were punished because of her, she would definitely feel bad."

Rong Xin didn't expect that Concubine Ling would speak for her, and immediately gave her a grateful look.

Hongli put his hands behind his back and said with a cold face before leaving, "If you dare to spread even a little bit of what happened today, I will hold you accountable!"

Seeing the emperor leave,惢心's body immediately collapsed. She had no strength at all and couldn't stand up at all.

From beginning to end, Li Yu didn't dare to even fart, nor did he dare to look at惢心.

"惢心, it's okay."

"Jiang Yebin, the master should be fine, right?"

"Well, let me help you up first. The ground is cold."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, where's the Emperor..."

Ruyi finally vomited out the water in her lungs, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she went to look for the emperor.

But the emperor is nowhere to be seen here.

The young man she had been thinking about had already walked away angrily.

Didn't even wait for her to wake up.

So heartless.

"Noble Concubine Xian, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"Sister finally woke up!"

"My lord, why am I here... ahem."

"My Lady, you fell into the water. Do you remember what happened before you fell into the water?"

"I don't remember."

In the evening, a breeze blew over the water, and Ruyi shivered a few times because of the cold. Ling Yunche didn't care about it and hugged Ruyi tightly to bring his body temperature to her.

Hai Lan watched this scene and finally realized why the emperor looked so unhappy when he left.

"Let's not stay here, Ling Yunche, take my sister back first."

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi, who was shivering in the cold in his arms, her lips pale, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, can you still walk?"

"I don't have the strength anymore."

The next second, Ruyi fainted.

"Miss!"

"elder sister!"

Qi Ru felt her pulse and said, "Your Majesty was frightened and caught a cold, so she fainted due to lack of strength."

Seeing this, Ling Yunche directly picked up Ruyi and hurried back.

"How could Concubine Xian fall into the water out of nowhere?"

Wei Yanwan said casually, "Maybe it was because the light was dim and Concubine Xian didn't see where she was stepping and slipped."

Fu Cha Langya sat in the main seat. Thinking that Ruyi was rescued by a man named Ling Yunche, her face looked a little unhappy.

After all, everyone saw it today: the emperor's guards and the imperial concubine hugging each other, especially Ling Yunche, who showed tension but did not hide it from anyone.

Jingse fiddled with the purse in her hand and said nonchalantly, "Maybe I've done too many bad things, and even God can't stand it anymore."

"Jingse, stop talking nonsense. It's getting late. Let's all go back and rest."

Jingse curled his lips at Fucha Langya's whispered reprimand, put away his purse, and then said reluctantly, "Then I will go back first and come to see you tomorrow."

When most of the group had left, Fucha Langya saw that Wei Yanwan had no intention of leaving yet, so she patiently asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Have."

Hearing Wei Yanwan say that there was, Fucha Langya darkened her eyes and reminded, "The emperor will definitely investigate the matter of Concubine Xian falling into the water. If you did something unclean, tell me now and I can make it right for you."

Fu Cha and Lang Ya noticed all of Wei Yanwan's abnormal behavior, so she absolutely didn't believe that Ruyi's fall into the water had nothing to do with her.

But Fu Cha Langya didn't know how it was done.

"Your Majesty, it wasn't me who did this."

She just knew in advance that Ling Yunche would have a secret meeting with Ruyi at the bow of the boat at night, so she sprinkled some water in a place suitable for a tryst.

Of course, the biggest help comes from Rong Pei.

Without her, this plan would not be possible.

It's hard for Jinzhong, as he has to sacrifice his looks for a while.

Whenever Wei Yanwan thought about how she had to compensate him, she couldn't help but laugh.

Hongli already had some dissatisfaction with Ling Yunche, and he estimated that after tonight, this rift would only get bigger.

"Don't run around these few days. I'm currently claiming to be ill, and now this has happened. The Emperor must be in a bad mood."

"it is good."

After Hongli returned, he indeed ordered people to investigate the incident of Concubine Xian falling into the water.

"Who are the guards on duty tonight? Why did Concubine Xian fall into the water in that location? Find out everything for me."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute, and whether Ling Yunche has been involved in excessive private relations with Concubine Xian, find out everything and then tell me. Don't let anyone find out."

"Yes!"
