Chapter 164: Inquiry

Xiao Xuan on the bed was still lying unconsciously, and let Emperor Chu call her several times in front of the bed without any response.

"Doctor Liu said that Xuan'er didn't wake up because she suddenly fell into the water and was too surprised, the water was cold in winter, and Xuan'er didn't know how to water, she didn't know how scared she was at the time." As she spoke, Emperor Liu, who was standing beside Emperor Chu, covered her face with her hands and couldn't stop crying. "Your Majesty also knows Xuan'er's body."

"Alright, alright, stop crying." Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Xuan, who was still unconscious on the bed, so he had to reach out and wrap his hand around the shoulders of Emperor Liu's concubine, and said softly and comfortingly. "Xuan'er is a blessed good child, and she will definitely be safe."

"Yes, Imperial Concubine Liu." The queen standing behind Emperor Chu looked at the backs of Emperor Chu and Emperor Liu's concubines at first, and her expression was quite obscure. But after Emperor Chu finished speaking, the queen's expression instantly turned to worry, and she also opened her mouth to comfort Emperor Liu's concubine. "Xuan'er is a knowledgeable and sensible child, and she will definitely be able to spend tonight safely."

Xiao Lu held a flower banquet today, and the queen knew that there were many young ladies from the family who were present, and the people around Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu might not be able to cope with it, so she asked Jinxiu to pick a lot of people from Zhaoyang Palace to help. For this reason, the news of Xiao Xuan's fall into the water, the palace maids of Zhaoyang Palace who were present immediately went back to report the news.

The queen was resting, but after hearing the news, she couldn't lie down anymore.

She knew in her heart that with the relationship between Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan's sisters, and the relationship between the two sisters, Xiao Xuan would not easily go to the flower banquet held by Xiao Lu. But Xiao Lu, who is about to marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, urgently needs to change the original views of the imperial capital magnates and family circles about her, and Xiao Xuan's willingness to come forward to participate in the flower banquet held by her is only good for her.

The queen doesn't think about Xiao Lu's reputation in the future, she has to think about her own nephew. On the day that Xiao Xuan received Xiao Lu's post, she sent Jinxiu, whom she relied on the most, to Yihua Palace, and persuaded Xiao Xuan both hard and soft.

But Xiao Xuan fell into the icy lake on the spot of today's flower banquet.

In these years, because of the favor of Emperor Liu's concubine and Emperor Chu's attention to Xiao Xuan, the best doctor in the hospital took care of her body, and all kinds of beneficial and tonic medicinal materials and supplements were sent to Yihua Palace. Although Xiao Xuan's body looks healthy on the surface, after all, it is a pampered girl's family, where can she withstand the cold winter and fall into the ice lake.

Today, if Xiao Xuan just accidentally fell into the lake, it would be fine.

But if Xiao Lu was dizzy and plotted that Xiao Xuan would fall into the lake, he was afraid that under the wrath of Emperor Chu, not only would Xiao Lu not be able to eat good fruits, but he would also be implicated with himself and the Zhenguo Mansion.

For this, the queen also had to stay in Yihua Palace and wait for Xiao Xuan to wake up.

Emperor Chu really didn't worry about Xiao Xuan falling asleep like this, so he ordered Imperial Doctor Liu, who stayed in Yihua Palace to take care of Xiao Xuan's condition at any time, to another palace to inquire about the situation, and the queen followed Emperor Chu with him.

The news in the palace spread quickly, and Concubine De, who had always been with Emperor Liu's concubine in the palace, also came to Yihua Palace after learning about it.

"How?" Suihong led the hurried Concubine De into the hall, and Concubine De walked quickly to the bed.

"Still unconscious." Concubine Liuhuang, who was sitting on the side of the bed, looked up at Concubine De and said a little weakly. "I drank the medicine to ward off cold and sweat, and I sweated a lot, but people just couldn't wake up."

"How could Xuan'er be able to go to the eldest princess's flower banquet?" Concubine De was puzzled, according to the relationship between Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan should not have gone to the flower banquet held by Xiao Lu.

At the end of last autumn, Concubine De's mother passed away, and Concubine De was overly sad and seriously ill. She has a cold nature, coupled with the mourning of her mother's departure, even after recovering from her illness, she still said that she could not be sick, and she did not even show up at the palace banquet in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so naturally she did not know what had happened in the past few months.

Emperor Liu's concubine looked up at Suihong, and Suihong immediately retreated with the others.

The eldest princess handed Xuan'er a post, saying that she was invited to the flower banquet. Xuan'er couldn't make up her mind, so she came to talk to me. Who knew that the one in Zhaoyang Palace was now completely on the side of the eldest princess, lest Xuan'er not go to the flower banquet and confirm the news about the disharmony of their sisters in the imperial capital. In order to make the eldest princess look better, she specially sent someone around her to come over and let Xuan'er go with both soft and hard measures. Speaking of this, the corners of the eyes of Emperor Liu, who was still full of grievances, couldn't help but turn sharply.

"No wonder I just watched her follow His Majesty." Concubine De suddenly realized. "No wonder she is coming to Yihua Palace, she must be afraid that His Majesty will be angry with her for this matter."

"Now the first thing is to make Xuan'er safe, and I can't take care of it for the time being." Concubine Liu put away her color and looked at Xiao Xuan on the bed. "If this matter is just an accident, forget it, if someone wants to harm my daughter, I will definitely not let it go!"

In another palace, Imperial Physician Liu met the Emperor and the Empress of Chu.

Emperor Chu carefully asked Imperial Physician Liu about Xiao Xuan's condition.

"Weichen returned to Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyue's body is thin, and she is very cold every time it is winter. Today, she suddenly fell into the lake, and Her Royal Highness the princess didn't know how to water, so she couldn't wake up in fright. Fortunately, after the princess fell into the water, she was immediately rescued, and the subsequent disposal was appropriate, and the princess was not in serious trouble. ”

"But Zhaoyue, this kid can't stay asleep, right?" The queen has her own considerations in mind. "Doctor Liu, you have to have a way."

"The cold in the princess's body, Weichen has already prepared a prescription and prescribed medicine for the princess to take." Taiyi Liu has an upright personality. "But being frightened and drowsy is a heart disease, not that Weichen wants the princess to wake up, and the princess can wake up."

"You!" The queen frowned.

"That's it, Queen." Emperor Chu knew that Imperial Physician Liu spoke in this tone, but he didn't blame him, but turned his head and said to the queen. "The queen is too weak to be tired, so she doesn't have to stay here with me to wait for news."

"But......" The queen subconsciously wanted to speak, looked up and saw Emperor Chu's somewhat cold eyes, and swallowed back the words before she could say anything. The concubine will go back to Zhaoyang Palace today, and come to visit Zhaoyue another day. ”

"Okay, Wu Chuan." After listening to the queen's reply, Emperor Chu's eyes became gentle again. "Send the queen back to Zhaoyang Palace for my good life."

Wu Chuan, who had been following Emperor Chu and was as quiet as an invisible person, walked up to the queen and respectfully leaned over to ask the queen to move.

The queen glanced at Emperor Chu again, Emperor Chu no longer looked at her, she could only walk away.

Deng Ting, the lady of the Ding'an Hou Mansion who fell into the water with Xiao Xuan, had better luck than Xiao Xuan. She and Xiao Xuan fell into the water at the same time, and the first person to be rescued ashore was Xiao Xuan. Fortunately, she was clever enough to swim again, and when she fell into the water, she had already untied her cloak that would sink when she absorbed water, and when the other female flag guard pulled her out of the water, she was just numb from the cold.

It's just that she didn't leave the palace, but was sent to her aunt Concubine Chen's palace.

Something happened in the imperial garden, and Concubine Chen almost fainted when she found out.

"Sister Ting." However, after a while, Deng Ting was sent to Yuxiu Palace, and Concubine Chen hurriedly prepared hot water and clean clothes for her, and settled her in the side hall. "Are you okay?"

Mrs. Ding'an Hou has only two sisters-in-law who died early under her knees, but there are many children under Ding'an Hou's knees.

Deng Ting's biological mother, Aunt Wang, was a maid who married into the Hou Mansion with Mrs. Ding'an Hou, and Mrs. Ding'an Hou was disheartened because of the loss of her son and was oppressed by her husband and mother-in-law to recognize the concubine as her son-in-law, and decided to move into the Hou Mansion Buddhist Hall for Qing Xiu, Aunt Wang simply took her young daughter Deng Ting to accompany Mrs. Ding'an Hou to move into the Buddhist Hall.

Therefore, Deng Ting can be regarded as a child who grew up in front of Mrs. Ding'an Hou, who first entered the Buddhist hall and was like ashes, with the company of the loyal Aunt Wang, and the lively and lovely Deng Ting by her side, but she got a lot of explanations.

After the old lady Ding'an Hou died of illness, Mrs. Ding'an Hou had to walk out of the Buddhist hall to re-govern, and Aunt Wang also came out with Deng Ting.

Deng Ting is only fourteen years old this year, and she is at the age when she should see the marriage. Although the Ding'an Hou Mansion is in decline, fortunately, the eldest princess Xiao Lu is about to join the Zhenguo Mansion. Because Mrs. Ding'an took Deng Ting to Concubine Chen several times, Concubine Chen also liked Deng Ting quite a lot.

Therefore, this time for the flower banquet, Concubine Chen asked Xiao Lu to add Deng Ting's name to the list of flower banquets.

"Auntie, I'm fine." Deng Ting's biological mother is from the south, and after giving birth to her daughter, she also taught her daughter to swim. Deng Ting was not pampered like Xiao Xuan, she grew up in the Buddhist hall, even if she was blessed by Mrs. Ding'an Hou and Aunt Wang, she lived a hard life, fortunately, she could endure hardships and was in good health. "It's just that Princess Zhaoyue doesn't seem to be able to swim."

"yes, why did you fall into the water so well?" Concubine Chen thought of Xiao Xuan falling into the water, and only felt a pain in her head. "You were in front of me at the time, and I told my aunt what was going on?"

After knowing the news that Xiao Xuan fell into the water, Concubine Chen couldn't help but feel worried. Originally, when Xiao Lu mentioned that she wanted to invite Xiao Xuan to participate in the flower banquet, Concubine Chen did not agree. Seeing that Xiao Lu was about to get married after a period of time, Concubine Chen was afraid that there would be any more branches when Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan came into contact during this period of time. Xiao Lu insisted on sending someone to Yihua Palace, and the queen sent Jinxiu to Yihua Palace to put pressure.

Concubine Chen was really afraid that the reason why Xiao Xuan fell into the water was related to Xiao Lu, seeing that it was about to be March, she was really afraid that her daughter would be confused and hurt Xiao Xuan for a while.

"Aunt Hui, it turns out that I am not familiar with those young ladies of the family, and I can't interject what they say, thinking that it would be good to stand by the lake alone and wait for the flower banquet to end and return home." Deng Ting never went out to socialize when she was young, and now that the Ding'an Hou Mansion is in decline, she is in an awkward situation when she goes to the palace to participate in the flower banquet. "But I don't know when a few young ladies from the family came over with Princess Zhaoyue in their arms, and I wanted to get out of the way. Princess Zhaoyue didn't know what she stepped on, her body slipped and looked like she was about to fall into the water, I wanted to reach out and pull her but failed, but I was taken into the water by her. ”
