“Just…”

Xuan Ling held her cold hand and said, "Jiang Jiang is fine, don't worry."

He held her in his arms and squeezed the water out of her hair. Although it was early summer, the lake water was still chilly. Both of them were soaked, and Sheng Xiyan was shivering with cold.

Xuan Ling hugged her tightly, "We're almost on shore."

The boat docked, Xuan Ling carried Sheng Xiyan out, and Eunuch Fu took a cloak and put it on Xuan Ling.

"Your Majesty, be careful not to catch a cold."

Xuan Ling wrapped Sheng Xiyan in a large cloak and quickly got on the imperial carriage.

"Go to Guanju Palace, quickly!"

Eunuch Fu jogged after him. The emperor's robe was soaked, and he must not catch a cold. He had already sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to call the director on the shore.

On the imperial carriage, Sheng Xiyan huddled in Xuan Ling's arms, feeling lucky to have finally saved her life.

When they arrived at Guanju Palace, several palace servants were shocked. Eunuch Fu hurriedly shouted, "Quick, boil ginger soup!"

Xuan Ling carried Sheng Xiyan into the main hall, and Eunuch Fu came in holding a dry dragon robe.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up and let me help you change your clothes."

Hua Xia had already run back with Jiang Jiang in her arms. She rushed into the palace and saw Sheng Xiyan curled up on the couch. She felt relieved.

Shanhu took out some dry clothes from the wardrobe. Hua Xia said, "Your Majesty, I will change your clothes for you. Please go to the inner hall to change."

Xuan Ling glanced at Sheng Xiyan and walked into the inner hall.

Hua Xia wiped the water off Sheng Xiyan's head and quickly changed her clothes inside and out.

After a while, Xuan Ling came out from the inner hall and saw Sheng Xiyan's pale face, feeling distressed.

"Let Judge Wu come in."

Judge Wu came in and took his pulse first. "Your Majesty has caught a cold. I will prescribe a decoction to dispel the cold for you."

"Take a close look at Sheng Chongyuan to make sure she doesn't develop any underlying illness."

Wu Yuanpan felt Sheng Xiyan's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Sheng is fine now. She just caught a cold. She just needs to take some cold medicine and rest."

Hearing this, Xuan Ling's heart finally settled down.

Sheng Xiyan held the hand warmer in her hand, and thinking about the scene when she fell into the water today, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

"emperor."

Xuan Ling sat down, stroked her hair, and comforted her: "Yan Yan, are you frightened? I am with you."

"Your Majesty, I was chatting with a few sisters by the guardrail today when I suddenly felt someone push me from behind. I lost my balance and fell into the lake."

"I think someone must have played tricks on you. The guardrail is at your waist. Without external force, you wouldn't fall from that height."

He shouted outside the palace: "Send the commander of the imperial guards here."

After a while, Commander Xue came up and said, "Your Majesty, I have led some people to check the place where Young Master Sheng fell, and found nothing unusual with the guardrail."

"Go and interrogate all those present at the location where the drowning occurred today, including concubines and palace maids. Leave no one behind, and submit the list to me for review."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Outside the hall, Hongxiu and Qingdai were brought in by Eunuch Fu.

"Your Majesty, the Empress was anxious today and almost fell, but was caught by the Concubine Shu."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ling asked, "Is the Queen's fetus safe?"

"The Empress and the Dragon Fetus are both fine, but the Consort Shu has fallen to the ground with multiple scrapes on her back and waist."

Xuan Ling said, "Shufei has done well. Let the imperial physician treat her well and reward her with two boxes of deer placenta cream."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hongxiu knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, the Queen kept calling out to you when she fainted from the pain. Could you please go and see her?"

Xuan Ling glanced at Sheng Xiyan, who clutched his sleeve pitifully, clearly not wanting him to leave. However, she said obediently, "Your Majesty, after you've had your ginger soup, go see Concubine Shu. I'm fine."

Xuan Ling felt even more fond of her and said, "I'll go to Zhongcui Palace later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hongxiu happily left the palace.

Jiangjiang climbed onto the couch, not knowing how big a thing had just happened, and even less knowing that he almost lost his mother, and grabbed Sheng Xiyan's wet hair to play with it.

Sheng Xiyan took the white fur cloth that Hua Xia brought in and said, "Your Majesty, I will wipe your hair for you again. If moisture gets into your body, you will catch a cold."

"good."

After taking off the golden crown, she carefully wiped her black hair. Xuan Ling was relieved to see that she moved freely.

"Your Majesty, you'd better take a hot bath tonight to drive away the cold."

Xuan Ling took her hand and said, "How about I take a bath with Yanyan?"

A pink rouge color appeared on Sheng Xiyan's snow-white face, and Xuan Ling understood it clearly. She was shy.

Jiang Jiang was confused and asked, "What are you soaking..."

Xuan Ling pinched his chubby cheeks, turned around and saw Sheng Xiyan looking at him. The look in her eyes seemed to be full of love, right?

She hugged him from behind, her face pressed against the back of his neck, and said sweetly, "Your Majesty, thank you for saving Xiyan. I miss... miss..."

Want to pledge your love to me?

Xuan Ling reached back and touched her face. "I don't need your gratitude or repayment. Yanyan, you should have understood this all along."

Sheng Xiyan took a deep breath. She had been hooking the emperor for so long that she had forgotten what her next goal was. Should she speed up or just follow his pace?

He wanted her heart, but he also had great insight.

If she showed her love to him, he would suddenly feel that she had no charm.

If she acted calmly, this tug-of-war made Sheng Xiyan a little tired. Perhaps it was because she had consumed too much energy today. When she was on the verge of life and death, the only person who appeared in her mind was Jiang Jiang. She didn't even have time to think about Qi Yan, let alone the man in front of her.

"Your Majesty, my lady, this is red ginseng and ginger soup, drink it quickly."

Sheng Xiyan obediently picked up the jade spoon to feed Xuan Ling, but he took the bowl directly and said, "I'll drink it myself, you should drink it quickly too, you don't look well."
