"It's none of my cousin's business. Besides, my cousin gave me a hot spring villa, and I made a lot of money."
Zhou Qiongyue really didn't care. After all, it wasn't her second cousin who pushed her over. As for not jumping in to save her, even in his previous life, her cousin had no such obligation.
Besides, she is not the original owner. She can swim. She was just taking advantage of the situation and got into trouble. She can't blame others.
As for the ending of the original owner in the novel, Zhou Qiongyue could only avoid following the original owner's path, but she had no way to avenge the original owner because of the novel.
"You!" Although the queen said this, she felt relieved in her heart. She was still afraid that her niece would blame her son.
Not to mention the relationship between them, the eldest brother loves Yue'er so much. If Yue'er blames her son, it will definitely affect the support of the Cheng'en Marquisate for her son.
The Queen chatted with Zhou Qiongyue in a casual manner. The Queen had made up her mind to tie Zhou Qiongyue up by her side today to see which fearless person dared to play tricks on her.
There were people nearby who wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Zhou Qiongyue, but when they saw the queen was chatting with Zhou Qiongyue, they felt embarrassed to go up and disturb her.
The ladies who hadn't gone hunting had a close look at Zhou Qiongyue's favor. Some of those whose sons weren't engaged had their own plans.
Zhou Qiongyue was worried all day, afraid that something might happen to her father and elder brother, and of course she was also afraid that something might happen to the second prince and the fifth prince.
Time passed very slowly as she was worried about something. Zhou Qiongyue finally waited for the people who went spring hunting to return, and she was looking forward to it.
As a result, a group of people were seen escorting the emperor out of the hunting ground in a hurry.
The Queen and Zhou Qiongyue stood up almost at the same time. Fortunately, everyone was stunned by the scene before them and no one noticed Zhou Qiongyue's actions.
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor." The queen rushed over with the people around her immediately.
When the servants around the emperor saw that it was the queen, they did not stop her and let her go immediately.
The Queen personally helped the Emperor down from his horse. She looked him up and down and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"
The queen was anxious at the moment, but she was not that anxious in her heart. However, she certainly looked very anxious.
The emperor looked at the queen like this, and the several anxious concubines behind her. He felt very pleased. He just patted the queen's hand and comforted her, "Wenshi, don't worry, I'm fine."
The emperor quickly shouted outside, "Come here, send someone in to find the adults and the prince, the animals inside are rioting, quickly..."
The queen's heart, which had been comforted, was lifted up again, because her two biological sons, father, elder brother and nephew were also among them.
The more anxious the queen became, the more she forced herself to calm down. She waited until the emperor finished his instructions before asking again, "Your Majesty, are you really okay?"
As the queen spoke, she looked at the emperor's blood-stained armor with a worried look.
When everyone was looking at the forest behind, hoping to see their relatives coming out, the queen who only cared about herself was shining in the emperor's heart.
The emperor held the queen's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, Wenshi. I'm really fine. This is all covered in the blood of those beasts."
The queen was tactful enough not to ask whether those beasts referred to humans or animals. She just gave Zhou Qiongyue a subtle look, indicating that she should wait here and tell her if there was anything.
Zhou Qiongyue nodded hurriedly and quietly retreated to the crowded area. She and the servants around her stood in an inconspicuous position where they could see the entrance to the forest in front.
She is now also very worried about her grandfather, father and elder brother. If she wasn't afraid of causing trouble if she went in, she would have wanted to bring people in to look for them herself.
"Don't worry, Wenshi. Chen'er and Yu'er will be fine."
As soon as the emperor said this, the other concubines behind him looked at the queen with eyes that were almost poisoned, especially the other concubines who had princes. They all prayed in their hearts that the other princes would die and their sons would become the only one.
For example, there is Concubine Jing of the eldest prince Li Jingze, Concubine De of the third prince Li Jingbai, and Concubine Rong of the fourth prince Li Jingxuan. Their sons also participated in the spring hunt this time.
The emperor actually only mentioned the two legitimate princes, which meant that only the son born by the queen was the emperor's son. Everyone felt heartbroken and angry.
Especially Concubine Jing. Although her family background is ordinary, she has always felt that her son is superior to everyone else because he is the eldest prince. Even the empress would usually challenge her. How could she be willing to accept this?
"Your Majesty, where is Ze'er! Our Ze'er is also in there..." Concubine Jing said as she rushed towards the emperor.
The Queen immediately made room for Concubine Jing, "Your Majesty, please comfort Concubine Jing first! She is also worried about Ze'er."
The Emperor has so many things to deal with right now! Isn't he worried about his sons? His grown-up sons are all there. How can he have time to comfort the concubines in the harem?
"I'm busy! Concubine Jing, please stay aside and don't cause me any trouble."
After the emperor impatiently scolded Concubine Jing, he took his men to the highest position again. He didn't even have the mood to change his clothes. He wanted to wait here for the guards who were looking for someone to come out.
He was not only worried about his son, but also about the court officials and nobles. If the losses were too great, it would shake the foundation of the country. Although the emperor was anxious, he was also a man who had experienced many storms and waves. He ordered people to investigate in an orderly manner to see who was so desperate as to dare to do such a thing.
The queen knew that the emperor was worried, so she did not step forward to show any concern. After comforting several concubines, she stared at the exit anxiously.
When the ladies saw that the emperor and empress were present and surrounded by guards, even though they were very worried, they dared not cry or make a fuss. They could only stare eagerly at the exit.
For a moment, the only sounds in the entire venue were the emperor's orders and the sounds of people coming in and out.
Fortunately, the emperor sent many people in, and soon a group of people were seen coming out.
Everyone craned their heads to look over there, hoping to see who had come out. The Emperor and Empress were no exception, unable to sit still.
If the emperor had not been concerned about his status, he would have gone to greet him in person long ago.
The crowd didn't remain curious for long before someone came to report to the emperor, "Your Majesty and the ladies, the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Marquis Cheng'en have come out."
"Good, good, good..." The emperor said three good words in a row. Now that his two legitimate sons were born, he felt half relieved.
The Queen and Zhou Qiongyue also heard it. Zhou Qiongyue even brought people to greet them directly. She couldn't sit still anyway.
When the emperor and the empress saw this, they just turned a blind eye.
