Chapter 360 Qiao Wanyan: Where did I lie?
Qiao Wanyan covered her face with a handkerchief, her clear peach blossom eyes full of anxiety. They were misty, as if she was about to cry.
The palace maids on the shore were frantically trying to rescue her. The guards did not dare to jump into the water to save the queen. There were shouts and cries everywhere. Finally, two maids who could swim rescued her.
At that time, the queen was still conscious.
Aunt Xu immediately put her cloak on her and ordered everyone to turn their backs and not look at her.
Qiao Wanyan stepped forward and helped him back together with Aunt Xu regardless of the wetness. They returned to Kunning Palace. Qiao Wanyan stayed by the window and calmly ordered people to call the imperial physician and prepare hot water for bathing and ginger soup to drive away the cold. She also sent Aunt Xu to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Be organized and act cleanly and efficiently.
Qiao Wanyan tucked the quilt in for the queen and said, "Your Majesty, drink the ginger soup and have a good rest. It's all your fault. If I could be closer to you, you would have been in time to hold you back."
The queen looked unhappy. She caned the palace maid but held back her temper and didn't get angry with her. "What does this have to do with you? You didn't know this accident would happen."
Qiao Wanyan sighed and said, "I think it was because of the heavy dew last night that the rocks on the shore were a bit slippery, which caused the queen to fall. Fortunately, the queen is fine."
Zi Yuan muttered softly, "From what I can see, it was the eldest lady who brought disaster upon her. The moment the queen punished her, she fell into the lake."
Qiao Wanyan frowned and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the queen!"
Zi Yuan pouted with a little dissatisfaction, "Young lady, you have forgotten that when the eldest daughter was born, she did not cry or make a fuss, and dark clouds covered the sun, which attracted wandering Taoist priests to come to the mansion and say that she was an ominous star of disaster. If the master did not believe these things, he would have executed the evildoer long ago, and why did he kill the old lady and cause unrest in the mansion for many years? Now he has also caused the queen to fall into the water."
"How dare you talk nonsense about ghosts and gods in front of the Queen?!"
Zi Yuan pouted and lowered her head, not daring to speak, looking aggrieved and unwilling.
The Queen's eyes flickered, "Did such a thing happen in the Qiao Mansion back then?"
Qiao Wanyan sighed and said, "This girl is just making this up. She wasn't even born when my eldest sister was born, so how could she know these things? Your Majesty, please don't blame me. When I go back, I will definitely teach her a lesson for being so outspoken."
When Qiao Yihuan was born, she did not cry or make a fuss. The midwife said that not only did she not cry or make a fuss, she also smiled very cutely.
My grandmother had always been in poor health, and because my father insisted on marrying a merchant girl, the old lady was even more sick and weak and could not take any supplements. Three months after Qiao Yihuan was born, my grandmother passed away.
As for the dark clouds covering the sun, who would remember it after so many years? What the rumor spreads is what the fact is.
Do you have wisdom?
An immortal person can only be a monster, how can he have wisdom?
Now, the Queen has been defeated by the evil spirit and fallen into the water. How terrible!
The queen did not continue the topic. "Your dress is also wet. Go down and change. You have been in the palace all night. I am sure your family must be worried about you."
Qiao Wanyan stood up and said, "Yes, Madam. I will take my leave now."
The queen looked at her leaving back, then looked away with a serious expression.
"Where's Xu Ying?"
The maid replied: "Your Highness, Aunt Xu has gone to the East Palace."
The Queen said calmly, "You go down first. When Xu Ying comes back, ask her to come see me. I have something to ask her to investigate."
"Yes, madam."
"Send Qiao Yihuan to Ningyuan Hall to recuperate, and don't let the prince know."
"yes."
Qiao Wanyan went to the side hall, and Ziyuan took the dress brought by the palace maid and went into the side hall.
"Miss, I will help you change your clothes."
Qiao Wanyan glanced at the palace skirt in her hand, then looked at the dress she took off yesterday, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Just wear the one you took off yesterday."
Zi Yuan was slightly stunned, "Miss, you never wear the same clothes for more than two days, why......"
Qiao Wanyan replied casually, "I'm not used to wearing palace skirts."
The two of them left Kunning Palace and saw Aunt Xu walking towards them from a distance. It was obvious that she had returned after going to the East Palace to pass on the message.
"Second Miss, are you going back?"
Qiao Wanyan nodded, "Yes, the queen was frightened and the prince, as a filial son, should have known it immediately. Aunt Xu will not blame me for meddling in other people's business and sending you there, right?"
Aunt Xu said, "Second Miss, that's not right. Thanks to Second Miss for reminding me. Although His Highness is busy, he knew that the queen was frightened and put down what he was doing and went to the palace to visit her. I have to go back and serve the queen first."
Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly and watched her leave with a smile.
The master and servant walked to the Changfu Gate in front of them. Qiao Wanyan suddenly stopped and supported the vermilion palace door with one hand. "I'm a little tired. Let's take a rest."
Ziyuan’s mind raced, but she still didn’t understand.
We have only walked a short distance. Why are you tired, young lady?
"Wan Yan? Why are you here?"
When Qiao Wanyan heard the familiar voice, she looked up, a little surprised, and immediately stood up straight.
"Your Highness, your servant has greeted you."
He Zhiyu approached, "Why are you here? This road... did you come from Kunning Palace?"
Qiao Wanyan replied softly, "Yes, Your Majesty summoned me into the palace last night."
He Zhiyu frowned slightly and asked in a gentle voice, "Why did my mother summon you to the palace?"
Qiao Wanyan opened her thin lips but didn't know how to start. After a while, when she was about to speak, Ziyuan on the other side suddenly came to her senses.
"It was because the Empress knew that my young lady had beaten His Highness in the Imperial Forest that day that she summoned my young lady to the palace before the palace gates were locked last night. My young lady's knees hurt, so please forgive me for being so bold and take my young lady back first."
Qiao Wanyan scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. The Queen summoned me to the palace because she was concerned about my illness a few days ago. The Queen is virtuous and has allowed me to live in the palace. If you say anything more, I will sell you out when I go back."
He Zhiyu glanced at her knees. She had just been supporting the palace gate and had obviously stopped to rest because of the pain in her knees.
The hem of her dress was a little wrinkled, probably because she had not changed her clothes after spending the night in the palace.
Could it be that her mother made her kneel all night?
"Jingyuan, send Wanyan out of the palace in a sedan chair."
Qiao Wanyan said calmly, "Don't bother your Highness. I can leave the palace on my own."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
He Zhiyu lowered his eyes. After all, she still distanced herself from him because of the love poison.
Zi Yuan's heart was pounding at this moment. When she was almost at the palace gate, she turned back carefully and said, "Miss, did I do a good job?"
Qiao Wanyan smiled faintly, "You are getting smarter and smarter. From now on, you are no longer a little fool, but a little smart guy."
Zi Yuan chuckled, but then she felt something was wrong.
"But Miss, if the prince asks the maids in Kunning Palace, then...wouldn't it let the prince know that we lied?"
Qiao Wanyan got on the carriage, Cang Xing Youjian's eyes were full of teasing, "Which of us lied?"
On the other side, Jing Yuan watched the prince walk to the gate of Kunning Palace and suddenly turn around and leave, "Your Highness, aren't we going in?"
He Zhiyu said calmly, "I am not an imperial physician. It would be useless if I went. It would only disturb my mother's rest in vain."
Jing Yuan looked at the box in his hand, "Then this ginseng..."
"There is no shortage of these supplements in the palace. I'll give them to you as a reward."
