It was the middle of winter, and it had just snowed the other day.

Although the shallow lake in the Imperial Garden is not frozen, the water is still icy.

Xiao Xuan was quite weak when she was young because she was not well nourished in the womb of Emperor Liu, and Emperor Chu and Emperor Liu's concubine have carefully cared for her body over the years, so that she has changed from a frail and sickly child to a ruddy little beauty today.

But the imperial doctor who has been taking care of her has also instructed that Xiao Xuan was born frail, although after years of careful recuperation, she is now much healthier, but she has a thin foundation and has to be carefully raised, and she must not be ignored for a while.

In such a cold weather, even a young man who falls into the icy lake water may not be able to bear it, let alone a weak and slender girl like Xiao Xuan.

"Has the princess been rescued?" Sui Hong's face turned pale, her heart sank, and she didn't forget to ask about the situation. "Where is the princess now?"

"Before I came back to report the news, the female flag guard who was already secretly guarding the side went into the water to save people, Sister Lvlin said that a sedan chair had been arranged, and the princess would be sent back to Yihua Palace as soon as possible when she was rescued."

"Okay, you go again, go to the Tai Hospital and invite Taiyi Liu over, the princess's body has been recuperated by him all these years, and it is most suitable to invite him over." Suihong said. "I'll go in and tell the imperial concubine about it."

The palace maid didn't dare to delay the matter, and immediately turned around and went in the direction of the Tai Hospital.

Sui Hong returned to the hall nervously, and the concubine Liu Huang, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang." When Suihong came in, Emperor Liu's concubine happened to look over with her eyes open.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Suihong's face was different, Emperor Liu's concubine immediately sat up for fear that her worries would come true. "Why did you go out all of a sudden?"

"Mother's 。。。。。。" Suihong simply told the whole story. "Just now, the person who followed the princess to the imperial garden came back to report that the princess had fallen into the lake."

"What!" Concubine Liu was so shocked that she got up immediately, but she had no choice but to get up too quickly, and almost fell down.

Sui Hong was taken aback by Emperor Liu's movements, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Emperor Liu.

Concubine Liu Huang was supported by Suihong and finally stabilized her body, but now she only felt a pain in her heart.

"What about the princess? Did you save it? Concubine Liu thought that Xiao Xuan had fallen into the cold lake in such a cold weather, and tears had unconsciously flowed down the corners of her eyes.

"At that time, the female flag guard who was secretly guarding the side had immediately gone into the water to save people, and the princess Jiren had her own natural appearance, and she would definitely be rescued." Suihong helped Emperor Liu to sit down. "The slave maid instructed someone to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for Dr. Liu, Niangniang, you must hold on, don't hurt your body."

Imperial Physician Liu quickly rushed over with someone, and Xiao Xuan, who was fished out of the cold lake water by the female flag guard, was also sent back in a sedan chair.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu, who was already standing under the porch, rushed down the steps and walked to the front of the sedan chair, and lifted the sedan curtain.

In the sedan chair, Dan Tang helped the unconscious Xiao Xuan to sit inside, Xiao Xuan's face was as pale as paper, and the whole person could sit in the sedan chair completely by relying on Dan Tangerine's support.

"Come on, help the princess in." Concubine Liu's eyes were red.

"Yes." Suihong took someone to prepare things, Xiao Xuan was taken out of the sedan chair half-supported and half-hugged, she was still wet, Suihong quickly put on a thick cloak for her before her body was taken out.

Soon, a sturdy palace maid walked up to Xiao Xuan, and the palace maids helped Xiao Xuan on her back, and she carried Xiao Xuan on her back and walked into the hall.

Several more charcoal basins have been placed in the hall, and the wet clothes on Xiao Xuan's body were taken off as soon as he entered the hall. They wiped her with a hot towel, then changed her into new, dry, warm clothes and covered her with a quilt.

When everything was taken care of, the people outside invited the waiting Imperial Doctor Liu in.

Imperial Physician Liu sat on the edge of the bed and carefully checked Xiao Xuan's pulse.

After a while, Imperial Physician Liu withdrew his hand, and Suihong, who was guarding the side, immediately withdrew Xiao Xuan's hand into the quilt.

"Imperial Doctor Liu, how is the princess?" Concubine Liu, who had been waiting anxiously to the side, asked.

"The princess's pulse is not a big problem for the time being, but if the weather falls into the ice lake, the princess will have to suffer some sin." Imperial Physician Liu shook his head and said. "I'll come up with a sweating recipe here for the princess to use first."

"Okay, someone will send Imperial Doctor Liu out to make a prescription."

Doctor Liu had only been out for a short time, and soon Xiao Lu came over.

"First welcome the eldest princess to the side hall and sit down." Emperor Liu's concubine asked people to bring oranges and green forests into the palace. "Dantang, Green Forest, how the hell are you with the princess?!"

Dan Tang and Lu Lin knelt in front of Concubine Liuhuang, the clothes on the two of them were also half wet, but they only cared about Xiao Xuan before, and the two of them didn't even have time to change their clothes, and now their lips were frozen white.

The green forest knows the water, and jumped down as soon as Xiao Xuan fell into the water, and promptly untied the fox fur cloak on Xiao Xuan's body that was soaked in water, and lifted Xiao Xuan, who was unconscious after falling into the water, so that Xiao Xuan did not choke on more water, so that the people on the shore and the female flag guard who also entered the water to save people took Xiao Xuan ashore smoothly.

Dan Tang took off her coat and put it on Xiao Xuan, and she always protected Xiao Xuan when she was in the sedan chair.

The green forest shivered from the cold, and he couldn't say a few complete words.

"Back to the imperial concubine, there are many young ladies at the flower banquet who come to talk to the princess. Somehow, the princess walked with them to the lake. Seeing this, Dan Tang had no choice but to open his mouth and tell all the things he knew. Later, for some reason, the princess slipped under her feet, and fell into the lake with the lady of the Ding'an Hou Mansion beside her. ”

"Forget it, get up." Looking at the embarrassed appearance of Dan Tang and Green Forest, Emperor Liu knew that the two of them were loyal enough to Xiao Xuan. "You two are the ones who serve the princess closely, and you are not sick, so hurry back and drink the decoction to ward off the cold and then change your clothes. But you will not be able to serve the princess, and you will be fined three months' money. ”

Originally, Dan Tang and Lu Lin thought that Xiao Xuan had such a big incident again, and the two of them would definitely not be able to escape the pain of flesh and skin. Now that Emperor Liu's concubine has only fined them three months, it is already a great forgiveness.

The two of them didn't have anything to do, so they leaned over and kowtowed and helped each other out.

In addition to Xiao Lu, who came after him, the queen who soon got the news also sent Jinxiu from Zhaoyang Palace.

"Imperial concubine, my sister had such an accident today, it's really my fault." Concubine Liu Huang left Suihong to take care of Xiao Xuan, and went to the side hall to see Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu saw her coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with tears in her eyes. "I don't know what my sister is doing now, is she okay?"

Xiao Xuan went to Xiao Lu's flower banquet to support her, but fell into the lake for no reason, how could such a thing make Emperor Liu's concubine not be annoyed with Xiao Lu in her heart. But now the facts are unclear, no matter how dissatisfied Rao is heart is, Emperor Liu's concubine can't rashly attack now.

"Celestia don't have to blame herself, there will definitely be something you can't take care of when you hold a flower banquet for the first time." Emperor Liu Guifei forced the dissatisfaction in her heart and said. "But Xuan'er fell into the water for no reason at this time, I always have to report this time back to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and I must investigate the matter in detail to feel at ease. If it was just an accident, Xuan'er could only be blamed for not being careful enough. But if something is found, I'll make that person pay. ”

"That's what the imperial concubine said." Xiao Lu heard the threat in Emperor Liu's words, and she had to deal with it properly. "My cousin also fell into the water, and she was standing in front of her sister, but she was not in good shape, and now she has fainted."

Concubine Liu Huang thought that Xiao Xuan, who had been said by Dan Tang before, accidentally pulled Miss Shu of the Ding'an Hou Mansion into the water when she fell into the water. Isn't Ding'an Hou's Mansion the mother's home of Xiao Lu's mother Concubine Chen?

Concubine Liu looked at Xiao Lu, who looked worried in front of her, and inevitably had some thoughts in her heart. Why did Xiao Xuan fall into the water for no reason, but it was Xiao Lu's cousin who was closest to her. It's just that no matter how many speculations she has in her heart, she can't say much if there is no empirical evidence.

"It's me who is not good, I forgot that my sister has always been afraid of cold." Xiao Lu sat in front of Emperor Liu's concubine, holding a handkerchief in her hand and crying sincerely. "My sister has suffered such a great sin, and I really can't help it. Please also forgive the imperial concubine, let me wait here for my sister to wake up, otherwise I really can't leave with peace of mind. ”

"Isn't Celestia also recovering from a serious illness?" Concubine Liu Huang was worried about her daughter and wanted to return to Xiao Xuan's bedside to accompany her immediately, and when she saw that Xiao Lu was reluctant to leave, she said impatiently. "The eldest princess will be married in two months, so you must be careful of your body. Xuan'er will be best taken care of in my Yihua Palace, and the eldest princess doesn't need to worry too much about her. ”

"I know that the imperial concubine Niangniang, as my sister's mother, will naturally take good care of my sister." Xiao Lu wiped her tears and said very weakly. "But I really can't rest assured, please let me wait a little longer."

Until sunset, Xiao Xuan, who was lying on the bed, still did not wake up. Fortunately, after boiling the sweating medicine before, Suihong carefully poured the medicine into her mouth. The effect of the medicine quickly took effect, and she sweated profusely, but her face remained pale all the time.

Emperor Liu's concubine was lazy to pay attention to Xiao Lu, and when she saw that she couldn't get rid of her, she simply hung her in the side hall, and she stayed in front of Xiao Xuan's bed.

The sky turned dark, and the Emperor and Empress Chu came to Yihua Palace to visit Xiao Xuan almost one after the other.

Seeing Emperor Chu and the Empress, Emperor Liu's concubine did not forget the rules and got up to salute the Emperor and Empress Chu.

"What are you doing at this time?" Emperor Chu eagerly walked to Xiao Xuan's bedside and personally helped Emperor Liu's concubine to get up. "How's Xuan'er doing?"
