Chapter 136 Empress Nara 5



As they followed Yongzheng inside, the three of them saw young ladies running around everywhere.

Emperor Yongzheng immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "What kind of behavior is this? This is the Imperial Palace, a place of utmost importance. How can you run around like this? Where is the head maid?"

When she saw the Emperor walk in, the head maid felt only despair, her mind filled with the thought that everything was over.

Upon hearing the emperor's question, she stepped forward tremblingly and recounted everything that had just happened.

Only then did Emperor Yongzheng realize that bees were attacking the ladies-in-waiting in the Imperial Garden, and that someone had even fallen into the water. He walked towards the pond to see what was going on.

As soon as Hongli entered the courtyard, he looked around, trying to find Nala's figure, but he couldn't find her anywhere, and his heart sank.

Could it be that Lady Nara was one of the concubines who fell into the water?

Thinking of this, Hongli became even more worried. It was only March or April, and the water temperature wasn't high. A frail woman falling into the water...

The three arrived at the pond. Yunyi had just rescued Suochuoluo when she turned to rescue Niohuru.

Seeing this scene, the three people on the shore had different feelings. Yongzheng praised her, saying that he did not expect this unknown young lady to be so kind as to go into the water to save people in such weather, which showed how good her heart was.

Hongli, on the other hand, was completely different. When he saw that it was Empress Nara who had saved the person, his heart was in his throat. He was filled with worry, fearing that something might have happened to Empress Nara and that he would be in trouble...

Consort Xi's eyesight wasn't as good as her son's. It took her a while to realize that the person who had fallen into the water was actually her niece. Her previous calm vanished, and she became extremely worried.

Yunyi had already spotted Yongzheng and his group on the shore out of the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to know and focused on rescuing people.

When they arrived at Niohuru's side, she was struggling because she couldn't swim and looked like she was about to drown.

Seeing someone come to rescue her, she clung to Yunyi as if she had grasped a lifeline, to the point that she could barely move.

Yunyi reached out to pry Niohuru's hand away, but Niohuru thought she didn't want to save her, and in her fear, she gripped it even tighter.

Yunyi overheard Xiaoqi's broadcast saying that Hongli looked terrible and was extremely anxious.

She pretended to struggle as she swam towards the shore with Niohuru, since she had already saved someone and it was normal for her to be a little exhausted.

Moreover, Niohuru was not as obedient as Suochuoluo. She held Yunyi too tightly, making it difficult for them to move, so the two of them swam very slowly.

Finally, as if it had exhausted its strength, Yunyi's swimming speed slowed down and it even began to sink.

Seeing this, Hongli could no longer care about anything else. Before any swimming nanny or palace maid could arrive, he jumped into the water and headed towards Yunyi.

Seeing that Hongli was about to arrive, she did not move and sank into the water.

Having lost her support, Niohuru began to struggle again, but having been in the water for some time, her strength was gradually being exhausted, and her struggles became less intense.

Seeing the Fourth Prince approaching, Niohuru was overjoyed and cried out desperately, "Cousin, save me! I'm sinking!"

When he arrived, Hongli hesitated for a moment before embracing Niohuru first, and then scooping up the "unconscious" Nara.

Holding two girls in his arms, he couldn't swim very fast, but at least he could ensure that they could breathe and wouldn't drown.

After the Fourth Prince jumped into the water to save people, the palace maids and nannies on the shore acted much faster. With everyone's help, they rescued the Fourth Prince and two young ladies-in-waiting.

Seeing that the concubine who had fallen into the water had been rescued, Emperor Yongzheng left the place to avoid suspicion, leaving Consort Xi to take charge of the situation.

Consort Xi first instructed the nanny to take the two unconscious young ladies back to Chuxiu Palace, and then summoned a female physician to treat them.

Then, he took his only niece who was still conscious and returned to Jingren Palace.

As for what exactly happened in the Imperial Garden today, she left it to her capable maid to investigate.

On the way back to Chuxiu Palace, Yunyi swayed unsteadily and accidentally fell asleep.

However, because she had already altered her pulse beforehand, when the female physician came to examine her, she only said that Nala Gege was somewhat weak due to exhaustion and had been nearly drowning, and had held her breath for a while.

The female doctor prescribed the appropriate medicine and added some to prevent colds before leaving.

When Yunyi woke up in the evening, she opened her eyes and found that she was no longer in her previous room, but in a single room with a maid to serve her.

Hearing the noise, the door was opened, and a woman dressed in a dark blue palace maid's uniform appeared.

"Your Highness is awake. My name is Hongxiu. I was sent by the nanny to serve you temporarily. Her Highness the Imperial Concubine instructed that this room has been specially allocated to you so that you can rest and recuperate, because you have done a good job saving people today."

Helped up by the palace maid Hongxiu, Yunyi sat on the bed. She nodded to indicate that she understood, then took the medicine bowl from her hand, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

After taking the medicine, Yunyi pretended to ask Hongxiu, "Are the ladies who fell into the water today alright? Are they alright?"

She got up, took the medicine bowl away and put it away. Hongxiu shook her head with a faint smile: "Don't worry, Princess Suochuoluo and Princess Niohuru are both safe and sound. They're fine. They just need to drink some medicine to prevent colds."

"That's good, I'm relieved that everything is alright." Yunyi patted her chest happily as she said this, looking very kind and innocent.

Hall of Mental Cultivation

Yongzheng had already learned from the nanny what had happened in the Imperial Garden that afternoon. It was caused by bees stinging people, including palace maids, eunuchs, nannies, and young ladies-in-waiting.

In her panic, one of the candidates, surnamed Suochuoluo, bumped into another candidate, surnamed Niohuru, who was standing by the pool, and both of them fell into the water.

Then, as everyone saw, Lady Nara bravely jumped into the water to save the two men, thus saving them from harm.

There are still many unanswered questions about this matter. Why would so many bees appear in the Imperial Garden out of nowhere?

However, due to insufficient evidence, nothing was found during the investigation, and the matter had to be dropped.

Although the murderer could not be found, the act of Lady Nara saving the person caught the eye of Emperor Yongzheng.

This woman comes from a suitable family, and her temperament and character are virtuous and appropriate. She would be a good match for Hongli as his secondary consort.

A few days later, just as Yunyi had recovered enough, she was summoned by Consort Xi.

Upon arriving at Jingren Palace, Consort Xi was quite amiable, perhaps because Yunyi had saved her niece, which explained her kind attitude towards Yunyi.

谈话间,熹贵妃对云意说了很多夸赞的话,临走前还神秘兮兮的说着以后多来看看,陪她说说话什么的。

熹贵妃都说的这么明显了,云意当然知道她说的是什么意思,心里有些猜测,只等着证实。
