People coming and going in the Imperial Garden were all particularly curious about Wei Shuyi who was kneeling in the most conspicuous place.
"Eh? Isn't that a poppy?"
"I don't know who I offended. The sun is so scorching, and I'm being punished by kneeling. It's so embarrassing!"
"In this palace, a concubine who has fallen from favor is ultimately inferior to a servant. Even if the emperor knew, he wouldn't pursue the matter. Let's go!"
…
Wen Yu knelt behind Wei Shuyi and asked softly every once in a while: "Miss, how do you feel? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to tell me in time."
"It's okay. I'm fine."
She stared at the lotus pond in a daze, always feeling that Zhaohua was still by her side, which made her feel a little comforted.
Face, dignity, these things had disappeared without a trace when Xie Yanci slapped her in public.
"Miss, how about... I send a message to the prince and ask him to think of a solution? As long as you can help us out of this predicament temporarily, things will be much easier going forward."
"No need. I caused this trouble, so I shouldn't let the prince deal with it."
Wei Shuyi looked up at the scorching sun, and the hallucination just now became more and more obvious.
Zhao Hua seemed to be standing in the clouds, extending his hand towards her, speaking and smiling sweetly, making her feel sympathetic.
"I'm sorry, it's mother who's sorry for you." She also tentatively reached out her hand, as if this could pull her daughter back from the underworld. "Don't blame mother, okay?"
"Girl?! Who are you talking to?"
"Zhaohua, Wenyu, didn't you see her? Look up, she's right there, maybe she even wants you to hug her!"
Wen Yu looked up at the sky in panic, but there was nothing but the dazzling light.
"Miss, you're mistaken. There's nothing there. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been reincarnated into a good family and won't be alone in heaven any longer."
Wei Shuyi didn't respond. His left hand fell back to its original place, his body tilted, and he fell to the ground.
"Yao'er!"
The emperor, hiding behind the bushes, subconsciously cried out in surprise.
Eunuch Yang flicked his whisk, feeling that this was not a big deal. "Your Majesty, you previously asked Chu Yingwei to escort Concubine Yu back to the palace. Why not let him do it this time? Fainting beside the lotus pond like this is not good for Concubine Yu's health."
"Chu Mu, go quickly!"
The emperor didn't even hesitate and gave the order directly.
Although he had rushed over from the Changsheng Palace, he could only watch her from afar. He couldn't stand by her openly, so he chose a secluded place and quietly observed her every move.
Until I watched her fall, but was powerless to do anything.
Chu Mu pretended to be a passing guard and stopped beside them with extremely poor acting skills.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Big brother, could you please lend a hand? Help my young mistress move to..."
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other." Chu Mu glanced hesitantly at the bushes. "Can I call the imperial physician? It looks like you're being punished by kneeling. You can't go back before the time is up, right?"
Wen Yu was choked for a moment.
It was obvious that Concubine Jin was deliberately punishing them today! If they knew that they had returned to Sangyuxuan early, who knows what kind of fuss they would make later!
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
The moment Chu Mu turned around, he dropped a small bottle of pills.
Wen Yu picked it up and sniffed it: It turned out to be Bingjue Pills? After taking it, it has an excellent effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
She did not dare to delay and immediately helped Wei Shuyi into her arms and fed him two pills.
Not far away, Xie Yanci saw this scene and asked, "I told him to go and save people, why did he run away?"
"Perhaps, Shadow Guard Chu has a better solution." Eunuch Yang hinted, "After all, Miss Yu has been punished to kneel here for less than an hour, so it is naturally inconvenient for her to return to the palace early."
"In an emergency, I have to make the decision. If I didn't know about this, would I let her die here?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. However, not only Chu Yingwei, but even the palace maids around Miss Yu may have similar concerns. In order to avoid affecting the future, this is the only way to deal with it for the time being."
Xie Yanci frowned, wishing he could rush out immediately and take her to the Changsheng Palace for treatment.
However, he couldn't! He absolutely couldn't reveal his true feelings at this moment, and waste all his previous efforts!
Chu Mu quickly called the Imperial Hospital staff over and pointed at the collapsed Wei Shuyi and said, "He probably has a weak constitution and it's too hot, so he fainted here. Come and have a look."
The person who came was Lu Xingzhou.
Wen Yu turned sideways cautiously: "Is Dean Jiang not here? Why are you here?"
Chu Mu looked at them suspiciously, his tone even more helpless: "Girl, aren't you waiting to save someone? Why did you choose?"
"I didn't! It's just that he, he is not trustworthy!"
"I was just watching from the side, how could he possibly kill your young lady?" Chu Mu pushed Lu Xingzhou, "Alright, stop listening to her nonsense."
"yes."
He bent down, felt Wei Shuyi's pulse, and then gently instructed Wen Yu, "Young Lady Yu is naturally sensitive to heat. It wouldn't be good for her to stay here any longer. Aunt, why don't you take Young Lady Yu back to Sangyuxuan first?"
"And then? So you can complain to Concubine Jin and have my young mistress wrongly killed?"
Lu Xingzhou seemed to have anticipated her harsh words and shook his head helplessly, "Aunt, I swear on my life that nothing like this will happen. Miss Yu has also been kind to me, and I will not repay kindness with hatred. As for the Imperial Concubine, I will explain the reasons to her so there will be no misunderstandings."
"Heh... haven't you ever been so ungrateful?" Wen Yu ignored him. "The reason why my young mistress has become so devastated is, after all, because someone plotted against the little princess! The pain of losing a daughter can't be completely healed in just two or three days!"
"Have you had enough of the quarrel?"
Chu Mu became impatient. After getting someone's permission, he bent down, carried Wei Shuyi on his shoulders, and strode towards Lin'an Palace.
"Hey! Wait!" Wen Yu chased after him, "Big brother, we haven't knelt for long enough. If the Imperial Concubine finds out, she will definitely..."
"Oh, Yu Meiren is ill. I must follow the doctor's orders and send her back to Sangyuxuan to rest. As for you, since you are so obedient to the rules, you can just continue to kneel there on behalf of your young master. Let's go!"
Wen Yu was choked by this person again, but he gritted his teeth and decided to follow him.
Lu Xingzhou looked at their backs, bent down to pack up the small wooden box, and sighed softly.
"Why is Doctor Lu here?"
He shuddered and quickly turned around and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the emperor!"
"No need to be polite." Xie Yanci pretended to have just entered the Imperial Garden and casually mentioned, "A few people just walked by. Who were they?"
"It's Miss Yu from Lin'an Palace, her personal maid, and an unfamiliar guard."
"Um?"
"Young Master Yu fainted by the lotus pond. It was that guard who summoned me to treat her. Fortunately, she is not seriously injured."
That's enough.
It was good to hear this and know that she was not seriously ill.
The emperor felt a little relieved, and after asking a few more questions casually, he led his men towards the Yonghe Palace.
