Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

Gu Youning had a guess in his heart.

But in this case, she couldn't just shake him off.

"Since Fang Cainu has invited you, why not go and take a look?"

Gu Youning waved his hand to stop Tan Yin from going forward and chuckled at Fang Cainv.

"Then let's go quickly."

Fang Cainv looked happy, but she did not let go of Gu Youning's arm. She almost dragged him to the other side where there was no one.

Was today's incident just Fang Cainu's intention, or was it...

Gu Youning glanced at the crowd by the lake casually.

"Feeding the fish is an elegant activity. Sisters, come up and try it."

By the lake, Concubine Zheng's particularly friendly voice was heard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine."

"The Imperial Concubine is always kind and thoughtful, thinking of everyone in these little things."

Concubine Zheng was of noble birth. She had the Zheng family outside the palace and the emperor's favor inside the palace. Most of the concubines responded enthusiastically.

However, He Chongyuan was only accompanied by one or two talented women, such as imperial concubines.

In this way, no one paid attention to Gu Youning and the others.

"Sister is truly naturally beautiful. No wonder she is favored by the Emperor and gave birth to his first prince."

"It would be nice if my younger sister could get a little bit of my older sister's blessing."

Fang Cainv had been praising Gu Youning all the way, but she couldn't hide the sourness in her words.

"Fang Cainu is also a blessed person."

Gu Youning's gaze passed over Fang Cainv's abdomen intentionally or unintentionally.

"How could I be so lucky?"

Feeling Gu Youning's cold gaze, Fang Cainv subconsciously touched her abdomen with her right hand.

Gu Youning knew that he was not wrong.

"Sister, we're almost at the lake. All the koi in the lake have been lured over to the Imperial Concubine and the others. If we don't have fish food, we might not be able to lure them over."

"Otherwise, let my sister and my maid go over there and get some fish food."

Fang Cainv suddenly stopped in annoyance.

"it is good."

Gu Youning agreed so readily that Fang Cainv was stunned for a moment.

She felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what.

No, she must have been overthinking it.

If Gu Youning was a smart person, he would not have been sent to the palace by the emperor.

It is even more unacceptable that she would not know the seriousness of the matter just because she had gained some favor from the emperor because of the eldest prince, disregard the rules, act coquettishly and foolishly, and ask the emperor to give her a sedan chair, making all the concubines in the palace jealous.

Little do people know that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Moreover, her plan today was flawless. Regardless of whether Gu Youning was willing to go to the lake with her or not, she could make Gu Youning bear the crime of murdering the royal heir.

After secretly comforting herself, Fang Cainv's instinctive uneasiness had completely disappeared.

Fang Cainv brought Gu Youning to the lake with full confidence.

"Sister, look, the color of this koi..."

As soon as they arrived at the lake, Fang Cainv let go of Gu Youning's hand while pointing at the koi in the lake.

thump!

But before she turned around, she saw a figure falling into the lake.

"This...I..."

Fang Cainv was so frightened by this sudden accident that she stood by the lake for a moment.

"Help! Help..."

Before she could come to her senses, Gu Youning's cry had already attracted the attention of all the concubines. What caught their eyes was Fang Cainv standing blankly by the lake.

"Master, someone come, please save my master."

When Tan Yin heard the noise, she ran to the lake in a few steps and turned pale with fright.

The master had just given me a reassuring look, so how could I have fallen into the lake?

"Is there anyone who can swim? Go down and rescue Gu..."

"The royal concubine!"

"Miss!"

Before Concubine Zheng could finish her words, she covered her heart with her right hand.

"I'm fine, why don't you go and save her? If anything happens to Concubine Gu, I won't forgive you."

Concubine Zheng coldly shook off the hand of the eunuch beside her.

"Yes, servants will go right away."

The two eunuchs in front of him hurried over.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Concubine Zheng seemed to have calmed down and leaned against the palace maid and spoke softly.

"How could this happen? Why did Concubine Gu fall into the water?"

"The water in this lake is extremely cold. Even if we rescue the person, I'm afraid..."

Although the concubines expressed their concerns, they could not hide the joy in their eyes.

Gu Youning is not the most favored in the palace, but compared to those of them who can only see the emperor once every ten days or half a month, it is much better.

What's more, she has the eldest prince.

If she could drown in the lake or get injured, they would have one less opponent in the future.

There was only one person who fell behind the concubines and whispered a few words to her maid.

Gu Youning, whose life was worried about by everyone, felt a chill in his heart when he was "rescued" by the two eunuchs. It turned out that the person behind the scenes had a dark hand.

No matter how good she was at swimming, she couldn't withstand the dragging of the two eunuchs, so she had thought of taking the initiative and grabbed the golden hairpin in her hand.

As soon as the two eunuchs touched her, they were stabbed on the face and body by the sharp hairpins.

"what……"

The two eunuchs instinctively emerged from the water wailing in pain.

"What's going on?"

"Why is there still blood in the lake?"

"Where is Concubine Gu?"

The concubines on the shore were also confused, and some of them had a dark light flashing with ambiguous meaning in their eyes.

"Quick, save the master."

At this time, Tan Yin came running over with two eunuchs, panting.

Before everyone could react, the two eunuchs from Changchun Palace jumped down quickly to save people.

Half a minute later, Gu Youning was rescued unconscious.

"Master! Master, wake up!"

Tan Yin knelt beside the wet Gu Youning, almost bursting into tears, hating herself in her heart why she didn't insist on staying.

But after she cried out twice, she felt her sleeves being pulled twice.

She was shocked and quickly held her master's hand.

The finger moved again.

Tan Yin's heart finally settled down.

She quickly took off her coat, covered Gu Youning with it, and continued to cry, "Master, please don't scare me, wake up!"

"Quickly carry Concubine Gu to Tingbi Pavilion."

Concubine Zheng ignored the two eunuchs who were still in the lake, as if she was only worried about Gu Youning.

"Yes."

The eunuch of Cheng'an Palace was about to step forward.

Tan Yin's hands trembled. She couldn't leave her master's life in the hands of Concubine Zheng.

She didn't know what exactly happened today, but what she was sure of was that someone must have wanted to harm her master, and the imperial concubine was a serious suspect.

Concubine Zheng seemed anxious, but until now, she had not even invited an imperial physician.

"You slut, why don't you get out of the way? How dare you question the Imperial Concubine's words?"

When the palace maids in Cheng'an Palace saw that Tan Yin was unwilling to move away, the leading palace maid raised her hand and slapped Tan Yin in the face.

Tan Yin, however, took advantage of the situation and firmly protected Gu Youning, gritting her teeth and refusing to give in.

"This palace maid has gone crazy. Why don't you throw her away quickly? If you delay, what will happen if Concubine Gu can't wake up?"

Someone in the palace said this worriedly.

Gu Youning's eyes moved slightly, it seemed that it was time to "wake up".

No matter how much she wanted to go fishing, she couldn't really risk her own safety.

But just as he opened his eyes, he heard a voice announce: "The Emperor has arrived!"
