Qin Xiangning ran away with a red face and a beating heart. She felt that she should not be there. Shu Guifei must have seen her, and she didn't know if she remembered her. Shu Guifei definitely didn't want anyone to know about this. However, it was not her fault. If anyone had to blame someone, it should be An Qingran. She didn't invite them earlier or later, so why did she let them go there at this time and witness such a scandal!
She took a breath and felt that this palace banquet was indeed an opportunity. She had worked so hard for her brother, but it was obvious that he did not get what he wanted. Since he could not get rid of An Qingran, she could take action against the prince. Maybe another path would work.
She was thinking of an idea. When she turned her head, she saw Prince Dongfang Jin standing in the pavilion. There was only one person there, looking at the boundless water. His silhouette was so charming. Qin Xiangning looked at him infatuatedly. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She walked slowly towards that side. When she was only twenty meters away from the pavilion, she suddenly screamed, her body shook, and she fell into the water. Her scream was loud enough to attract everyone's attention. And indeed, at the moment she fell into the water, she vaguely saw a figure running towards her like an arrow and jumping into the water. She was actually prepared. The moment she fell into the water, she held her breath, waiting for Dongfang Jin to pick her up!
Finally, she was fished out, hugging the man's neck with her eyes closed. She thought it was just Dongfang Jin.
But then I heard a voice: "Miss Qin, are you okay?"
This voice does not belong to the prince.
She opened her eyes and saw Dongfang Yan's face covered with water droplets, looking down at her. At this moment, her gauze clothes were already soaked, and the bellyband inside was clearly visible. She didn't even need to look to know this, because it was all her design.
At this moment, she had her arms around his neck and turned to look at the prince standing on the shore. A group of people gathered on the shore, talking in a concerned manner. If she went ashore in such clothes, everyone would see her. So, she simply closed her eyes and fainted. Dongfang Yan was startled and immediately ran to the shore with her and called for the imperial physician. She just buried herself in his arms, pretending to know nothing.
She was filled with hatred. She had clearly calculated that the place where she fell into the water was closest to the prince. So where did Dongfang Yan come from?
When Concubine Xian saw her son holding Qin Xiangning, she hurried forward and ordered people to prepare new clothes. She went to call the imperial physician, and then sent away all the bystanders. Of course, she had her own ideas. Qin Xiangning became her daughter-in-law by chance, and she didn't want her daughter-in-law to be feasted on the eyes of others. When Qin Xiangning entered the house, she deliberately woke up dimly. When she fell into the water, she was afraid that she would be further and further away from the prince. Her body had been held and seen by King Ning. What should she do?
Concubine Xian looked at Qin Xiangning with a gentle expression on her face: "Miss Qin, change your wet clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold. I have asked someone to bring you ginger soup..."
The virtuous concubine was very satisfied when she looked at Qin Xiangning's beautiful face. The Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion was not a small family. If her son could marry her, he would naturally have an extra arm. There were no fools in the palace, and she was the same. Although she was usually close to Concubine Shu and seemed to follow her lead, she certainly had her own plans for her son, just like Concubine Shu's plan. Everyone knew that the prince had a deficiency, and even the imperial physician could not do anything about it. How long could he live? Among the remaining princes, only Prince Kang and Prince Ning were talented, and the emperor valued them very much. Last time, Prince Kang had a scandal, and the emperor was a little annoyed with him, and his attention was more or less shifted to Prince Ning, so of course she also had some thoughts.
Even if there was no fight for the throne, Qin Xiangning was the best choice for her daughter-in-law. What's more, she was a legitimate daughter and one of the three most beautiful women in the capital. She was many times better than An Yanran, whom Shu Guifei had found.
Today, she felt that her son had done the greatest thing.
Qin Xiangning felt even more uneasy under the gaze of Concubine Xian. She had seen such a look in her mother's eyes before. Didn't her mother have any plans?
Of course she didn't dare to ask. After Dongfang Yan saved Qin Xiangning, he went out to change his clothes. So Qin Xiangning slowly calmed down. Things had come to this, and she didn't know what she could do to remedy the situation.
Maybe there are other opportunities.
The Queen's banquet was coming to an end. An Qingran suddenly saw Qin Jianren, who was being carried out. Everyone was puzzled and didn't know what had happened. An Qingran didn't know what had happened either, but she knew that his behavior must be related to her affairs.
And she saw the prince!
Her heart moved. She seemed to see him before she fainted. Was it true or false?
Qin Jianren had to pass through the pier to leave the island, and this pier was right in front of the Baoyun Palace, so he couldn't hide even if he wanted to. Plus, there were so many people on the island, and the prince had a purpose in having him carried out at this moment.
Qin Jianren was still unconscious.
So no one knew what had happened, and the emperor also sent someone to question them.
The prince replied that when the guards were patrolling just now, they found a palace maid in dishevel who was about to jump into the lake. Upon asking, they found out that she was almost raped by Qin Jianren, and during the fight, the palace maid accidentally injured Qin Jianren's vitals.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan frowned and immediately went forward to check. He blocked everyone's view and uncovered Qin Jianren's clothes. After just one look, his heart sank. It was over, his life was over.
This son is useless.
His heart was in turmoil: "Who is it? Is it that little palace maid who is framing my son?"
The disheveled maid cried and knelt there: "I dare not. If I hadn't fought back desperately, I would have been..."
This was the Queen's birthday party. With something like this happening, everyone naturally couldn't let it go on. They couldn't help but persuade Marquis Dingyuan to keep things quiet. At this moment, Qin Jianren woke up. Marquis Dingyuan looked at his son and said, "Tell me, are you going to harm this little palace maid?"
Qin Jianren glanced at the palace maid, then looked at the prince standing next to him, rolled his eyes and fainted again!
"How dare a little palace maid frame Young Master Qin!" The emperor spoke. Such a thing happened today, on his Bi Xin Lake, and here!
He was really angry. Besides, there were many rumors about Qin Jianren's bad character. In the past, Marquis Dingyuan denied it all, but later all the girls who were victims were married by him. Now this incident happened in front of him. If he didn't care, these ministers would not be able to let it go. Besides, who gave this beast the courage to be here?
