Suddenly, Ye Jinyun felt someone put his arms around her waist, then leaned over and blew air into her mouth.

Ye Jinyun was shocked and quickly opened her eyes, only to see that the person who gave her energy was actually the emperor.

Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Mo Qiyuan didn't stay in the water any longer. He held the person in his arms and swam towards the surface of the lake.

As soon as they were out of the lake, the royal guards quickly stretched out long poles and asked him to pull them to the shore.

…

Ye Jinyun was held by Mo Qiyuan and saw that Chu Mingrou had also come ashore and was sitting on the shore spitting out water.

Mo Qiyuan carried her all the way to the shore, then put her down. He turned around and took the coat that Chen Fuquan had just ordered someone to find and put it on her. He looked at her nervously:

"Yun'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Jinyun pretended to be choked by water, coughed a few times, and then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for personally saving me. I am fine. I just choked on some water. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Mo Qiyuan was relieved to see that she was fine.

After Chen Fuquan put on her coat, he turned around and looked at the palace servants around him with a gloomy face:

"What's going on? If you don't explain clearly, I'll kill you."

The palace people immediately knelt on the ground

Seeing this, Chu Mingrou was so frightened that she trembled and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Today, I happened to meet Concubine Li and Concubine Yun by the lake, and invited them to the pavilion in the middle of the lake for a small gathering. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yun started arguing with me in the pavilion, and in a fit of rage, she reached out and pushed me into the lake. As a result, she herself fell into the lake due to excessive force."

When Ye Jinyun heard her words, he almost vomited blood.

Bah, so shameless.

Chu Mingrou is really good at confusing right and wrong. When the murder failed, he put the blame on her. Don't blame her then.

He immediately put on a pitiful look and looked at her in disbelief:

"Chu Zhaoyi, don't you feel guilty for confusing right and wrong like this? You were the one who knocked me into the water, so why are you saying I pushed you? With so many eyes watching, are they all blind?"

Mo Qiyuan listened to the argument between the two and thought about this matter in his heart.

When he heard Chu Mingrou say that it was Ye Jinyun who pushed her into the water, he didn't believe it. Now that he heard Ye Jinyun say it herself, he believed even more that Chu Mingrou must have deliberately framed her.

But with so many people watching, he had to find evidence before he could convict someone.

Then he looked at the women with sharp eyes and said:

"Did you all see clearly who pushed whom?"

When the old women saw the emperor coming, they knew it was all over.

But now that they were asked, if they told the truth, they would surely die. Instead of that, it would be better to place their hopes on Chu Mingrou. She was pregnant with the dragon heir and would surely be able to get leniency from the emperor.

They immediately reached a consensus and answered affirmatively:

"Your Majesty, we saw that it was Consort Yun who pushed Consort Chu into the lake."
