Chapter 509: Falling into the Water 2
But in this round, An Qianning did a great job...
Coincidence, testimony, accident... all so perfect
The emperor will definitely remember An Qianning for saving the second prince today and give her a promotion.
Chen Mi took a sip of tea...
Will the Queen really fulfill An Qianning's wish?
She may not see...
An Qianning also stared at Lin Junxue's back, with a hint of imperceptible pride in his eyes.
She had stayed in Changchun Palace for the past few days, just for today's arrangement.
She had already figured it out. The Second Prince went to the Imperial Garden every day to catch butterflies and fly kites...
She also bribed a few young eunuchs and deliberately mentioned the interesting koi in the pond when she passed by the second prince.
The second prince is naughty by nature, so he naturally wants to see what the interesting "koi" he mentioned is.
And she had also brought Qiu'er with her early in the morning, waiting at the corner of the Imperial Garden, just to wait for the moment when the Second Prince fell into the water.
She happened to appear, regardless of her own safety, and rescued the second prince
The emperor loves the second prince the most, and he will definitely give her a promotion because of this incident.
The Queen has no chance to stop it this time. Even if she wants to, she can't produce any evidence.
This round...
She won.
里间
When Li Shiwen saw Lin Junxue coming in, she immediately came up to her with Xie Ziyi in her arms
"My Lady, you are here"
Seeing Xie Ziyi's crying face turned red, Lin Junxue said, "Little Ziyi, the Queen Mother is here, don't cry. When Brother Wuji comes later, he will see you crying like a baby, which will embarrass you."
Although she has never had a child, in modern times, she would go to the orphanage to volunteer whenever she has time.
Comfort the children...
Naturally, it goes without saying
Sure enough, after Lin Junxue finished speaking, Xie Ziyi in Li Shiwen's arms stopped crying immediately, and looked at Lin Junxue with his big, wet eyes like black grapes.
Slurred speech
"Empress, ... Empress... Empress, brother... hug me."
As she spoke, she stretched out a pair of small hands, Lin Junxue took off her armor, and hugged him with a smile.
Xie Ziyi can be said to have been raised by her since childhood...
The movements are already very skilled
When Xie Ziyi was in Lin Junxue's arms, he became much more obedient and began to pull the Dongzhu on her palace dress.
"You little rascal, look at how distressed your mother is."
Li Shiwen wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and saw that Xie Ziyi finally stopped crying.
She finally felt relieved
"Apart from the eldest prince, only you, Your Majesty, can cure this child. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would be in a mess."
Lin Junxue coaxed Xie Ziyi in her arms while saying, "The imperial physician just checked. Is he okay?"
Li Shiwen mentioned Xie Ziyi's fall into the water and still felt a little scared
"It's nothing. Imperial Doctor Wu has checked it out. It's nothing serious. He was just frightened. Imperial Doctor Wu said that he would be fine after drinking some tranquilizing soup for three days. We are so lucky that it is summer now, not the coldest time of winter. If Ziyi fell, such a young child would probably lose half his life."
As he spoke, Li Shiwen's eyes turned red.
As a mother, her child is her biggest weakness in life.
She wished she was the one who fell into the water...
Seeing her self-blaming and frightened look, Lin Junxue spoke softly.
"As long as Ziyi is okay, I'm glad you're okay. Just don't hurt yourself."
Li Shiwen wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth.
"Your Majesty is right. I must not fall down. I must not let that evil-minded person succeed in his plot."
Xie Ziyi stopped crying. Danzhen took him in her arms and coaxed him.
Lin Junxue frowned
"You also suspect that this was not an accident but a man-made one?"
Li Shiwen nodded
"My queen, there are not so many accidents in this world. On weekdays, there are so many people watching Ziyi, including the palace maids, eunuchs, and wet nurses. Even if Ziyi really fell into the water because he was playing around, how could it be such a coincidence that Concubine An, who has not left Changchun Palace for several days, happened to run into him and saved Ziyi? This matter involves Ziyi's safety. I can't help but suspect that someone is secretly planning to use Ziyi to win favor."
As for who the "someone" Li Shiwen mentioned is, it is self-evident.
How can anyone who is sent to the palace be truly innocent?
They were all brought up in large families, and naturally they had experienced the things that happened between women in the house.
A means of winning favor...
Who hasn't seen...
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Shiwen, this is what I admire most about you. You have always been smart and insightful. As for whether this incident is a coincidence, we need to investigate further. At present, it is no longer important because all the evidence shows that this incident was an accident. If you raise your suspicions in front of the emperor and the concubines, the emperor will only reprimand you for slandering Concubine An without any evidence at all."
Li Shiwen gritted his teeth
"Could it be that I am just going to watch Ziyi being used as a tool to win favor? I am really afraid. Today, will she dare to plot Ziyi's fall into the water, compete for favor in front of the emperor, and spread rumors? If there is a next time, I really dare not think about what will happen."
Lin Junxue shook her head, her eyes darkened.
"I'm not asking you to endure it, but you have to do this. You have to investigate it thoroughly. Even if it's perfect, there will be loopholes. However, this matter can only be done in private and cannot be made public."
Li Shiwen was stunned, and immediately understood what Lin Junxue meant.
"My lady, do you mean to settle the score later?"
Lin Junxue raised her eyes slightly
"Shiwen, if the enemy is really going to fight to the death, then we must strike him right away. Today, she is using this incident to win favor, fame, and status. If she wants to give it to her, then just give it to her. And in the future, once all these things explode, that will be the moment when she will kill herself. And I will never let go of anyone who hurts Ziyi."
Li Shiwen nodded
"My lady, I was impatient just now. I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say."
Lin Junxue whispered a few words
外间
Xie Yu and the other concubines saw that Lin Junxue stopped crying after just a while.
Xie Yu was very satisfied and said, "As expected, the Queen is still capable."
An Qianning's face froze
Just now, in front of the emperor, she volunteered to coax the second prince.
But after coaxing her for a while, the second prince ignored her and kept crying.
She can only do it
Can the Queen actually stop the Second Prince from crying?
The concubine glanced at An Qianning, disdainful of her pretentious attitude just now.
"No need to be surprised, Lady An. You have only been in the palace for a short time. The Queen is always very kind to the Second Prince and they have a deep affection for each other. This, since she is sincere and genuine, is naturally different."
Qin Shushu sat quietly by the side. Ever since An Qian entered the palace
The Queen Mother was unwilling to summon her to serve again.
Chen Mi glanced at the Concubine Chen
Ever since the Sun family’s military power was taken away, Concubine Chen has stopped fighting for it.
Even in a few conversations, he began to lean towards the Queen.
