Chapter 138 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (9)

138

The imperial physician had a complicated look on his face. He had originally come to the princess's mansion for a feast, but he almost ended up eating the princess's feast instead, and was forced to work overtime. Who would understand?!

The imperial physician arrived in time and examined the princess immediately. Fortunately, the princess was not seriously injured, otherwise his life would be in danger.

On the contrary, no one paid attention to Shi Qing. However, Shi Qing just drank a little too much river water, so it was not a big problem. It was just that the princess was more unlucky.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Chunlin's eyes were red, and she knelt down beside Shi Qing with a plop. She pressed Shi Qing's chest hard, pressing the water out of Shi Qing's chest cavity. Her pale face finally improved.

Shi Qing said weakly, "Chunlin, I'm fine."

Chunlin helped Shiqing sit aside. She cried and said, "Miss, you can't swim. You really scared me to death just now!"

The son-in-law Cui Xu was originally confused about the situation, but the rich young man next to him secretly reminded him.

"If it weren't for this girl who saved Her Royal Highness, I'm afraid her life would be in jeopardy."

After Cui Xu and other imperial physicians examined and treated the princess, they ordered people to take good care of the princess and asked Imperial Physician Chen to come and see Shi Qing.

"Doctor Chen, how is this girl? He saved the princess, and this favor must be repaid."

Doctor Chen breathed a sigh of relief after checking Shi Qing's pulse.

"This young lady is in good health and is completely fine. Your Majesty, please ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of ginger soup. It will cure the disease immediately. If it weren't for this young lady's heroic action just now, the princess would be in great danger."

The prince consort looked at Shi Qing with suspicion. This girl was as weak as a willow in the wind, how could she be strong? It seemed that Doctor Chen's eyesight was not very good.

He politely asked Chunlin to take Shi Qing to the guest room of the princess's mansion to rest, and he also expressed his condolences in various ways and was very conscientious in his duties.

Among the crowd, a pair of eyes fell on Cui Xu, never leaving for a moment. The affectionate and reluctant gaze was finally retracted.

Shi Qing weakly declined the proposal of Prince Consort Cui Xu and simply said, "I'll just go to the pavilion and rest for a while."

As she spoke, she took Chunlin to the pavilion.

The good show is about to begin. How can you watch it if you are too far away?

When they were alone, Chunlin said nervously, "Miss, why did you sink into the water just now? Did you encounter an accident?"

The little girl was very worried. If something happened to the young lady, how could she face the lady? The princess's mansion seemed rich, but it was full of dangers.

Shi Qing said coldly, "Just now, it was the princess who intended to kill me. If it weren't for my wit, I would have been killed."

She briefly told Chunlin what had just happened. Chunlin was shocked and terrified. She had never expected this.

It turns out that jealousy is so terrible. A princess actually doesn't care about human life. It's really hateful.

"Miss, let's go back to the mansion. It's too dangerous here. I'm worried I can't protect you!"

Chunlin said angrily, "Qingfeng, who was sent by the governor, is also useless. He didn't show up in time to save the young lady at this time, and he still calls himself a master!"

Qingfeng coughed lightly to remind himself of his presence. There were too many spies in the princess's mansion, so he had to restrain himself. Who knew that the princess would lure the enemy with herself? It was really cruel.

"Miss Shi, Qingfeng is late. I will go to the master to accept the punishment when I return to the mansion. Please calm down, Miss."

Shi Qing glanced at Qingfeng, but shook her head. She said in a low voice.

“No matter how much I argue with you, it won’t change the current situation. I think the princess will never let things go after what she has done.

I just realized that she fell into the water on purpose. Commander Qingfeng, are you willing to secretly go to the boat and investigate whether the princess's fall into the water was intentional?"

Qingfeng admired Shi Qing a little for being able to keep such a cool head at such a time. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he still agreed to Shi Qing's words.

"Yes, I will check it out right away, please rest assured young lady."

After saying that, Qingfeng left like a ghost.

Chunlin didn't understand why people beat around the bush, so she scratched her head and asked in confusion.

"Miss, are you saying someone deliberately attacked the princess? But this is the princess's residence, how could anyone dare to do that?"

Shi Qing made a gesture to keep quiet and said in a low voice, "Good Chunlin, you will know soon."

Chunlin was so curious that she almost died, but Shi Qing kept it a secret, which made her feel very anxious.

Shi Qing drank tea, looking calm and composed. Princess Yongning was not an easy person to deal with, and the little followers around her were not as kind as they appeared.

*

Such a big incident happened in the princess's mansion, and it also alarmed Emperor Mingde and Concubine Yu. They learned that Princess Yongning fell into the water and almost died here when she got married.

Concubine Yu almost fainted in Zhaoren Palace and begged Emperor Mingde to come to the princess's residence to visit Princess Yongning.

The emperor loved the imperial concubine so much that he finally agreed to her request and brought a large group of palace servants to Yongning Palace.

Prince Consort Cui Xu immediately ordered people to welcome the emperor and respectfully welcomed the emperor and his wife into the princess's mansion.

Everyone attending the banquet went to the main hall, and the ladies stayed by the princess's bedside.

Seeing the Emperor and Consort appear, everyone saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Yu walked to Princess Yongning's side, held the pale princess in her arms, and spoke softly.

"Yongning, today is your big day, why are you so careless?"

Although Princess Yongning looked pale, she had regained a lot of strength. She saluted Emperor Mingde and the imperial concubine.

"Greetings to Mother, Greetings to Father."

Emperor Mingde nodded slightly, his eyes cast deep upon Princess Yongning, wondering what he was thinking.

Princess Yongning was very resistant to the arranged marriage. She wanted to marry Xuanyuan Heng, which the emperor would never allow.

Looking at Princess Yongning's sickly face at this moment, he even suspected that this was a plot devised by the princess to ruin the wedding banquet.

But the matter was done, and her marriage with Cui Xu would never be changed.

"I heard that a woman bravely stepped forward to save you today? Yongning, you should be very grateful to her. She saved your life. I wonder where she is now and if she is okay?"

Emperor Mingde asked in confusion. He had heard that this woman risked her life to save others despite her frail body. He ruled the world with benevolence, so he naturally looked up to such a woman.

Princess Yongning was unconscious when she was rescued. After she woke up, the memory of falling into the water replayed in her mind.

Yes, it was true that Shi Qing jumped into the water to save her, but later when she wanted to harm Shi Qing, Shi Qing showed no mercy and pushed his head into the river.

Princess Yongning had been unruly since she was a child, and this was the first time someone had been so disrespectful to her and even wanted to claim the false title of savior.

As expected, she was a woman who was only seeking fame and reputation. Princess Yongning hated Shi Qing even more. As long as she was around, Shi Qing would never get a good look from her father.

Prince Consort Cui Xu replied respectfully, "I have already ordered someone to see Miss Shi. She is fine and only needs some medicine to treat the cold. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

As he spoke, Cui Xu pulled Shi Qing out from the crowd, who was watching the show, and said with a smile, "Father, this is Miss Shi."

Shi Qing, "..."

No, you have two arms!

Shi Qing didn't expect that her quiet enjoyment of melon would be disturbed. She suddenly felt terrible. Facing the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, she saluted with dignity and composure.

"Your servant, Shi Qing, daughter of the Minister of Rites, greets His Majesty, His Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

When Emperor Mingde heard Shi Qing's name, he felt it sounded familiar.

He suddenly remembered the marriage proposal Xuanyuan Heng had made last time, and when he looked at the unparalleled young girl in front of him, he immediately knew her identity.

"Are you the Shi Qing, the girl from the Shi family that Xuanyuan Heng has been so eager to marry? I personally arranged your marriage. This is the first time I've met you. My dear Xuanyuan, you have good taste. The girl you chose is truly of excellent character."

Shi Qing bowed and said softly, "Your Majesty, your praise is unmerited. I feel ashamed to accept it."

Jin Mi felt inexplicably angry when she saw that the emperor favored Shi Qing. In her opinion, Shi Qing was not worthy of being in the public eye and should have stayed in the mountains.

"Of course you don't deserve it. You must be the mastermind behind the princess falling into the water today. Even if you are not the mastermind, it must be your fate that has etched the princess's body.

The astronomical master of the Imperial Observatory has said that someone is in conflict with the princess today, and she will be in trouble. If it is not you, it cannot be anyone else."

Jin Mi's eyes fell on Shi Qing. She was the one who was unlucky today.

Shi Qing blinked in confusion and spoke words that hit Jin Mi where it hurt.

"Miss Jin Mi, you never believed these things, but why do you use them so easily to slander me now? It really makes me suspect that you are deliberately targeting me."

Shi Luoyi always knows how to judge the situation and sees that Jin Mi intends to attack Shi Qing.

She saw the reason and a cold look flashed in her eyes. It seemed that Shi Qing's luck was not very good and he had enemies everywhere.

Well, as her elder sister, it’s okay for her to help her personally.

"Speaking of which, the young lady refused to board the boat countless times just now. You had a disagreement with the princess, yet you were the first to appear when she fell into the water. Is it because of the young lady's kindness, or were you plotting something? It's really puzzling."

Shi Luoyi's words were also thought-provoking. The guests' eyes fell on Shi Qing's face, as if they wanted to find out the truth.

Shi Qing sneered, "What you said, Princess, is very interesting. I've only been back in Beijing for a month, and I know my status is low, so how could I have the opportunity to come to the Princess's Mansion? I'm flattered by what you said."

"Could it be that I pushed the princess into the water, or did I instruct someone to harm her? If so, the person behind this should be apprehended. Only then can I clear my name. To dare to murder the princess is a serious crime!"

This statement has a hidden meaning. Shi Qing is not a soft-hearted person who allows others to throw dirty water on him.

The ministers present were all shrewd men. Seeing that Shi Qing was full of energy and well-organized, it was absolutely impossible for him to do anything to harm the princess.

Princess Yongning did not want to give Shi Qing a chance to turn things around. As a princess, she could decide life and death with just one word.

"Father, when Shi Qing came to save me just now, it was clear that she wanted to harm me. Father, you see my daughter's wrist is injured. Shi Qing has other motives. Could it be that she is jealous of my good relationship with the governor?"

As she spoke, Princess Yongning took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. With her power, it would be difficult for Shi Qing to leave the princess's mansion.

She is just the unpopular second daughter of the Shi family. What's wrong with beating and killing her at will?

She never cared about the life and death of such inferior people. She was Princess Yongning, and others had to respect her and be humble to her.

Jin Mi climbed up the pole, as if she had caught Shi Qing's fault, and said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, there is irrefutable evidence that Shi Qing attempted to murder the princess, yet she dared to claim credit for the deed. Her motives are truly sinister. Please punish her, and do not leniently punish her simply because she is Governor Xuanyuan's fiancée."

In the crowd, King Xiaoyao glanced at Shi Qing and snorted coldly.

"She's just a humble servant of an official family, yet she dared to harm the princess. My royal brother, such a woman should be severely punished as a warning to others. I wonder whose influence she borrowed, could it be Governor Xuanyuan?"

Just as he finished speaking, the sharp voice of the eunuch came from outside the hall, and he hurriedly said.

"Superintendent Xuanyuan has arrived."

However, the eunuch glanced at the well-trained Jinwu Guards behind Xuanyuan Heng and quickly added.

"The governor has arrived with the Jinwu Guards."

A moon-white figure appeared in the crowd, and the girls' eyes were fixed on that person.

Governor Xuanyuan is handsome and is one of the most beautiful women in the capital. He is also the most beautiful man in the capital.

When Emperor Mingde saw Xuanyuan Heng, his expression obviously improved a lot, and he said in a deep voice.

"Since you are here today, you will investigate. Everyone saw Yongning being saved by your fiancée.

But Yongning said that he was being plotted against and pointed the finger at Miss Shi. Investigating cases is your forte.

The princess's wedding banquet cannot be delayed, this matter must be investigated as soon as possible, and no one should be shielded! "

Xuanyuan Heng's gaze fell on Shi Qing. He stared at Shi Qing intently for a long time before looking away.

He replied, "Your Majesty, it will take at most a cup of tea, but there are too many people present. Please clear the area so that I can investigate more easily."

Emperor Mingde glanced at the eunuch beside him, who quickly asked the irrelevant guests to leave.

He also asked the kitchen staff to prepare fresh lychees, pineapples and other fruits to appease the guests. In short, he was very generous.

Chunlin said secretly, "Miss, the governor was looking at you just now. He must be worried about your safety."

Shi Qing smiled and said, "I'm afraid he's worried that I'll embarrass him. After all, I'm Xuanyuan Heng's fiancée."

When Princess Yongning saw Xuanyuan Heng, her eyes were glued to him until Concubine Yu reminded her unhappily.

"Yongning, today is your wedding day. The past is all in the past. You must remember that your husband is only the eldest grandson of the Cui family. Do you understand?"

Concubine Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on her. Princess Yongning quickly withdrew her gaze, feeling very unwilling.

She whispered, "My daughter knows, but I can't let this little girl go today."

Xuanyuan Heng brought the Jinwu Guards to the palace and questioned all the noble ladies. Although it was just a routine inquiry, it made the noble ladies extremely nervous and they almost fainted.

When the Jinwu Guards questioned Shi Luoyi and Jin Mi, they got the same answer. Almost everyone believed that it was Shi Qing who caused the princess to fall into the water from the boat.

The emperor did not express his opinion, but the spectators knew clearly what was right and what was wrong.

After Xuanyuan Heng finished questioning everyone, he looked up at Shi Qing and said, "What do you want to say?"

"You'll know when Qingfeng comes."
