Chapter 232 Chen Zhaoyi Falls into the Water
Not far away, several palace servants came over here following the sound.
Yongtai waved his hands hurriedly, telling everyone not to come closer.
Just kidding, Chen Zhaoyi looks really inconsiderate at the moment.
The robe she was wearing was soaked in water and it clung to the curves of her body, showing off her perfect figure.
Yongtai also quickly turned around and avoided the sight.
Yan Shixu frowned and hesitated for a moment, then took off his cloak and handed it to the embroidered curtain of Chen Yian's maid beside him.
"Put it on your master."
Xiu Lian hurriedly took the cloak, thanked the emperor profusely, then squatted down and put the cloak on her master.
Chen Yian's slender and graceful body was immediately covered by the wide cloak.
Smelling the cold scent of ambergris, Chen Yian's pale face turned a little red.
She kowtowed and said thank you.
Yan Shixu casually asked, "Why did you fall into this lotus pond?"
Chen Yian felt her throat itch again. She coughed and replied hoarsely, "I saw a field of purple jasmine flowers in full bloom here, so I thought of coming over to pick some to make jasmine tea. But it suddenly started raining, and when I was about to return to the palace, I accidentally slipped by the lotus pond and fell into it."
As she finished her words, Xiu Lian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I saw my master fall into the lotus pond. I rushed to the edge of the pond to pull her out, but I almost fell in the same spot. I reacted quickly and steadied myself, but I noticed something was wrong with the stone by the pond. It looked like someone had poured oil on it."
The ground next to the lotus pond is made of Taihu stones. If oil is poured on them, it will be slippery when you walk on them.
Yan Shixu ordered people to check the location indicated by the embroidered curtain, and it was indeed as she said, oil had been poured there.
The rain was heavier at this moment, washing the oil on the stone surface everywhere.
This place is some distance away from the imperial kitchen. There is no way the oil could have been poured here. Someone must have done it on purpose.
Yan Shixu grew up in the palace and was accustomed to such harmful tricks.
Maybe someone knew in advance that Chen Yian was coming to pick jasmine flowers, so they deliberately poured oil on the road she had to pass.
Yan Shixu was busy with endless government affairs every day, and he didn't want to spend time on the struggles between women.
But he can use this incident to get rid of the person behind the bad deeds.
If he harms Chen Yian today, he might use this method to harm his imperial concubine tomorrow.
Yan Shixu ordered, "Yongtai, send someone to the Queen's palace to report this matter and ask her to find out who murdered Chen Zhaoyi. Then send someone to tell Tong Wenxiurong."
After saying that, he held his umbrella and continued walking towards the Tourmaline Palace.
Yongtai naturally understood why he had to talk to Wen Xiurong about this matter.
Now Wen Xiurong is the emperor's sword, specifically used to deal with these restless concubines.
He waved his hand and called Xishun and Xide, who were following behind him, to come forward. He whispered some instructions to them, and then hurriedly followed the emperor.
Yan Shixu frowned and asked, "Why are you following me instead of changing your clothes?"
Yongtai sneezed when he heard that.
He apologized repeatedly: "I will go back and change it right away."
After saying that, he hurried back to his residence and changed into dry clothes.
The young eunuch He Lu was a man of great ability. When he saw Eunuch Yong coming back all wet, he went to make ginger soup himself.
It was being served at this moment.
Yongtai patted his shoulder and said cheerfully, "Not bad, you know how to take care of others now."
He Lu nodded and bowed: "It is my blessing to be able to take care of Eunuch Yong."
Yongtai gave him a piece of silver as a reward, handed the empty bowl back to him, and hurried to the Bixi Palace.
As the emperor's most loyal, caring and useful servant, he should be wherever the emperor is.
As for Chen Yian, Xiu Lian hurriedly helped her back to Qichun Palace, and then asked someone to invite the imperial physician to come and see the master.
He also asked someone to prepare a bath.
Chen Yian soaked in the water for a long time. When her cold body finally warmed up, she let out a breath.
Xiu Lian helped her change her clothes and whispered, "Master, someone must be trying to harm you. Only those in our palace know that you went to the lotus pond to pick purple jasmine. Master, there must be a traitor around you."
Chen Yian thought so too.
Her clear eyes turned cold in an instant.
Because of her stunning beauty, there are many women who are jealous of her since she was a child.
But after she entered the palace, she had not yet been favored, so those women who entered the palace with her had no reason to harm her.
Could it be that he is worried that she will be favored in the future?
Chen Yian sneered.
Did she think she was a vegetarian? Once she found the person who harmed her, she would make him regret it for the rest of his life!
The palace maid Xiu Mu came in and reported, "Master, Doctor Luo is here."
Doctor Luo is considered the most respected doctor in the entire Imperial Medical Bureau, except for Dean He.
After all, he was mainly responsible for taking the Queen's pulse.
The reason why he came in person to treat Chen Yian today must be because of the Queen's face.
Chen Yian naturally couldn't be so arrogant as to let him wait.
So she quickly packed up and came out to meet him.
Doctor Luo took her pulse and said there was nothing serious, so he just prescribed her a prescription to prevent colds.
Xiu Lian thought of the bruises on her master's body, and talked to Doctor Luo again, asking for some medicine to treat the abrasions.
When Xiu Lian was applying medicine to Chen Yian, she saw her holding the cloak given by the emperor, seeming to be upset about something.
She hurriedly comforted him, "Master, today is a blessing in disguise for you. You rarely see the emperor on ordinary days, but today, because of this incident, you are able to see him. The emperor still cares about you very much, otherwise, he would not have given you his cloak."
Who doesn’t like to hear nice words?
But Chen Yian was thinking in her heart that the emperor had given her so many rewards last time, and everyone said that she would definitely be the first among this group of beauties to serve the emperor in bed.
But in the end it didn't happen.
She pursed her lips, asked someone to fetch a bucket of warm water, and washed the cloak with her own hands.
This side of the Tourmaline Palace.
Wen Lier is feeding Xiaoxiao rice porridge.
Ever since Xiaoxiao cried that night, she has paid close attention to these things.
She loved her two younger ones so much that she wouldn't let the older one get left behind.
Otherwise, if Xiaoxiao really thought that she didn't love him anymore, the little kid would be so sad.
When Yan Shixu came in, he couldn't help but frown when he saw her actions.
"If you have to do everything yourself, what are all those palace servants for?"
When Wen Li'er saw him coming, she wanted to hand the bowl and spoon in her hand to her wet nurse He.
But Xiaoxiao wanted to eat it by himself.
He called out "Father" in a soft voice, as if he wanted to show off in front of his father. Xiaoxiao held the spoon tightly in one hand, clumsily scooped a large spoonful of rice porridge and stuffed it into his mouth.
As a result, the little face was covered with food.
Wen Li'er took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped his little face carefully.
When Wen Li'er looked at Yan Shixu again, she also frowned.
"Your Majesty, it's cold now and it's raining outside. Why are you still wearing such thin clothes? Why didn't the palace servants think of giving you a cloak?"
She went forward and held his hand, wanting to see if it was cold.
Yan Shixu held her hand in his backhand.
"It's such a short distance, how could you possibly be cold? But you can't stand the wind yet, so you need to be careful."
Wen Li'er nodded obediently.
Nanny Qin on the side couldn't help but think about it a little more.
It rained today and it suddenly became very cold. The emperor is wearing so little, it is impossible for him to go out without a cloak.
Even if he didn't wear it, the palace maids serving in front of the emperor would not forget it.
Especially Eunuch Yong, such a meticulous person, who puts all his thoughts into serving the emperor. Even if he freezes to death, he will not let the emperor get cold.
So, there is probably something fishy about this matter.
