At night, the Puguang Temple is brightly lit, and all the monks are kept in the main hall. They calmly and calmly beat wooden fish and chant Buddhist scriptures, as if the troubles of the world have nothing to do with them.
In addition to this group of monks, there were also pilgrims who came to worship Buddha today in the hall, including Princess Rong.
Prince Rong was with her at this time.
From time to time, the emperor stood at the entrance of the hall with his hands behind his back and looked at the forest in the distance. The path there was lined with rows of torches, illuminating the forest.
A moment later, news came back that the Queen Mother had been found safely.
The emperor could no longer sit still and was about to leave.
The Queen followed closely behind, and Prince Rong and his wife also went out together.
The Queen Mother was supported by the Third Prince and surrounded in the middle, followed by Shen Zhao and Bai Zhirou on his back.
Seeing that the empress dowager was safe and sound, the emperor finally felt relieved and mentally bypassed these monks who could only chant scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures.
"Mother! You made it so difficult for me to find you!" This was the first sentence the emperor said when he saw the empress dowager. He was so anxious that he wanted to kill all the palace maids who served the empress dowager in the Cining Palace!
The group hurried into the hall, where soft couches had already been set up.
The emperor wanted to help the queen mother lie down, but she pushed his hand away and her eyes fell behind her.
"Zhao boy, quickly put Xiao Zhirou on the couch! Where is the imperial physician? Emperor, have you brought the imperial physician?" The empress dowager was looking for the imperial physician in the crowd.
Shen Zhao followed the Queen Mother's instructions and carefully placed the person on the couch.
At this time, Bai Zhirou was still unconscious, and several experienced imperial doctors surrounded her.
Because the emperor was worried that the empress dowager would get injured outside, and she was too old to allow anything to happen to her, he brought the imperial physician with him just in case.
The empress dowager sat on a chair, stretching out her wrist for the imperial physician to feel her pulse, but her eyes fell worriedly on Bai Zhirou, and she felt extremely guilty.
"It's all my fault. Why did you leave the palace for no reason?" The Queen Mother shed tears of guilt, which were quickly wiped away by Hongyu.
"The Empress Dowager was just having fun for a moment and wanted to follow Concubine Guo out for a look. There's nothing wrong with that. But I deserve to die for not taking good care of you!" Hongyu knelt in front of the Empress Dowager and said with her face raised.
The master and servant took the responsibility on each other, which made Concubine Guo very sad, and she also joined in the conversation.
The Queen Mother was not injured, and could be said to be completely unscathed.
But Bai Zhirou suffered the most. There were small wounds all over her body and face, many of which were covered by her clothes.
The most serious injury was the snake bite on her arm. If it wasn't treated properly, she might have died on the spot!
Fortunately, these imperial doctors were very experienced and handled the case with ease. Bai Zhirou's injuries were all healed in a short while.
The wound on the back was also healed with Mingcui's help.
The imperial physician diagnosed Bai Zhirou and found that most of the snake venom had been removed. He first praised Shen Zhao's courage and then popularized the knowledge of snake bites to everyone.
Not long after the imperial physician finished speaking, Xia Yuning walked in. Her forehead was bruised and her skirt was stained with mud. It was obvious that she had fallen!
Prince Rong and his wife stepped forward to support her out of pity.
As soon as she saw her parents, all the grievances in Xia Yuning's heart turned into tears and burst out.
Seeing that all the imperial doctors were surrounding Bai Zhirou, Princess Rong became even more resentful towards her own daughter!
She helped Xia Yuning sit down on a stool beside her and pointed to a young imperial physician to treat Xia Yuning's injuries.
He was listening attentively to several old imperial doctors talking about how to prevent poisonous snakes in summer and what to do after being bitten by a poisonous snake.
All my thoughts were interrupted by Princess Rong's sudden pointing.
He reluctantly treated Xia Yuning's injuries and returned to his previous position.
Xia Yuning told the whole story quietly, hiding her desire to meet the Third Prince, and simply said that if they happened to meet, they would go looking for him together.
"Mother, Sister Zhirou happened to meet the Empress Dowager by chance. She is so lucky!" Xia Yuning said.
Princess Rong snorted coldly, "If she hadn't known the Queen Mother's location in advance, how could it have been such a coincidence!"
Thinking of this, Princess Rong's eyes lit up! Her sons hadn't dealt with the matter properly, allowing Bai Zhirou, the scourge, to escape.
This matter may be revealed sooner or later!
She simply took advantage of the fact that Bai Zhirou was still unconscious and unable to defend herself and framed her with a crime!
The Empress Dowager's condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she might not even remember how she met Bai Zhirou.
Princess Rong patted the back of Xia Yuning's cold hand and looked at the white gauze wrapped around her forehead several times, feeling pity.
She brought Xia Yuning forward to salute the three most distinguished people present. When Chen Zhao saw them, he snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring them.
He had just heard from the Third Prince what happened when Xia Yuning followed him all the way.
He told the Third Prince to be careful, as this woman was so good at using her reputation to threaten people, and he might be threatened one day!
"I apologize to the Empress Dowager here. It must be because she was too playful that she took the Empress Dowager out with her, which almost caused such a disaster!"
"In the afternoon, the servants came to report that Zhirou was missing. I didn't take it seriously, thinking that she might be mischievous and wanted to go out for a walk."
"But I never thought that she would be so bold as to abduct the Empress Dowager!"
"Now the imperial doctors are exhausted from treating her. They are truly ignorant. I, your concubine, would like to apologize to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Guo on Zhirou's behalf."
Princess Rong said with great sorrow, and convicted the unconscious Bai Zhirou with just a few words.
The crowd of onlookers who were unaware of the truth were actually persuaded by Princess Rong's sensible words.
Children aged fourteen or fifteen are still children. They love to play and are the most undisciplined. They can easily do things that adults cannot understand.
They felt that Princess Rong was right, and they all blamed the unconscious Bai Zhirou.
The news of the Queen Mother's disappearance from the palace was already a scandal in the royal family. It was most appropriate for Princess Rong to use Bai Zhirou's stubborn temper to cover up the truth at this time.
But this was too cruel for Bai Zhirou, and the Queen Mother herself had no such intention.
She had a sullen expression, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she immediately rebuked Princess Rong for her cruelty!
"As Zhirou's biological mother, why don't you protect her? Why do you have to throw dirty water on her?"
"Luckily, I remember how to escape from Puguang Temple, otherwise I would have been tricked by you!"
"This matter is entirely my fault. Mingzhu was only implicated by me! And she is my lucky star! If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago!"
After the Queen Mother said this, Xia Yuning suddenly raised her head and looked at her!
The word "lucky star" buzzed in her mind!
