The Prince of Qi put the scroll he had been holding on the desk and tried his best to remain calm: "Didn't the princess go to burn incense today? What could have happened?"

The old woman knelt down, her body trembling like a sieve, her face looking even uglier and more frightening, she said tremblingly: "I'm scared, Princess...Princess——"

"What happened to the princess?" Prince Qi's face darkened.

The Prince of Qi usually had a gentle attitude towards the servants in his palace, and it was rare to see him speak so harshly.

The old woman was so frightened that her face turned three points paler. She cried, "The princess almost fell off the cliff because of a fright, but was rescued by the guards--"

"Where is the Princess of Yan?" Prince Qi asked without hesitation.

The old woman stopped crying and looked at the King of Qi blankly.

Did she hear it wrongly?

The King of Qi realized that he had lost his composure, and secretly warned himself to keep his composure. No matter how bad things were, there was always a way out. But if he lost his composure for a while, it would be easy for chaos to occur.

Taking a deep breath, the King of Qi stood up and showed a worried look at the right moment: "Where is the princess?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment and said, "The princess was taken to the palace by Princess Yan—"

"What?" Prince Qi blurted out again, interrupting the old woman.

He thought he could calm the situation down, but the development of the situation was beyond his imagination.

Didn't Li say that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to burn incense to kill Princess Yan? Why did it end up being Li who was in danger and was even brought into the palace by Princess Yan?

At this moment, King Qi secretly felt some regret.

In order to get away with it cleanly, he did not ask about Li's plan, which resulted in him being completely in the dark and being on the passive side.

"Why did Princess Yan bring the princess into the palace?"

"The princess is unconscious and injured. Princess Yan said she would call a doctor for her..."

Prince Qi slammed the table, wanting to scold these maids and servants for their mess and not bringing Princess Qi back to the palace, but reason stopped him from scolding them.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the servants to disobey Princess Yan's words.

"Where are the others?" King Qi suddenly remembered something.

There was a maid, two old women and two guards who went with him, so how come only one old woman came back to report the news?

Where are the others?

Thinking about this question, King Qi had a bad feeling.

Then I heard the old woman say, "The Princess of Yan said that there was something fishy about the horse startling this time, so the two palaces each left a guard to guard the cliff... Another guard of the Prince of Yan's Palace took our driver to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the authorities, and our guards followed them when they saw what was going on. The others accompanied the Princess to the Imperial City. I thought about informing the Prince, so I ran back..."

There was a thunder in the King's head, which almost split his head in half. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why go to the authorities?"

The old woman was frightened by the ferocious expression of Prince Qi and lowered her head. She said hesitantly, "The Princess of Yan ordered it... The Princess of Yan also said that she had reported it to the authorities before. Lord Zhen, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, is very observant. Whether today's incident was an accident or a man-made disaster, he will definitely find out..."

The King of Qi slammed the table hard, his face looking uglier than if his own mother had died.

What a great Princess Yan!

She was really ruthless and quick-witted. She took advantage of Li's coma to seize the masters of the two palaces.

Looking at the old woman kneeling on the ground and trembling, the Prince of Qi wanted to ask if she knew Princess Qi's plan, but he swallowed the words silently.

Since things didn't work out, he had to stay out of it and not get himself involved.

No, we have to do something.

The first thought of the Prince of Qi was to take his men to the cliff immediately and find a way to destroy any unfavorable evidence left there. His second thought was to go to Shuntian Prefecture to delay Zhen Shicheng.

But as soon as these two thoughts came to his mind, he sighed, changed his clothes and hurried into the palace.

The princess was in danger, and it was neither reasonable nor moral for him to be busy with other things. The most urgent thing for him to do was to express his concern for his wife in front of his father.

Besides, he knew nothing, and his first reaction after receiving the news was of course to go to the palace.

The weather was cold, and Emperor Jingming was not in his study at this time, but was resting in the Yangxin Palace.

Reading a book on the heated kang with the floor heating on was a rare comfort for Emperor Jingming.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched and the hand holding the scroll froze.

Fortunately, there was no reaction.

Emperor Jingming, holding the scroll, breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be his illusion. Life hasn't been peaceful for long, so it's impossible for something bad to happen again.

After thinking about it, he was still worried, so Emperor Jingming waved to a white cat lying at the end of the kang and said, "Jixiang, come here."

After having several interactions with Erniu, Emperor Jingming suddenly became very fond of such little things. Since a big dog as majestic as Erniu could easily scare people, he settled for a cat as the next best option.

Emperor Jingming really enjoyed the feeling of stroking the cat's fur, especially when he said "good luck" while stroking the cat's fur, as if all the bad luck could be dispelled.

The squinting white cat heard the shout, glanced lazily at Emperor Jingming, stood up, jumped up and down a few times, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Jingming withdrew his hand awkwardly and sighed.

After all, it is just an ordinary cat, far from being as human as Erniu.

At this time Pan Hai came over with a strange look on his face.

Emperor Jingming frowned when he saw this: "Hmm?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen asks you to come over."

Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment.

The Queen would not invite him over at this time for no reason.

"Did the Queen say what it was?"

Pan Hai hurriedly said, "The Princess of Yan has brought the Princess of Qi to the palace. Please ask Her Majesty to send the imperial physician to the Princess of Qi..."

Emperor Jingming could not help but interrupt Pan Hai and said, "Wait, what happened to Princess Qi? And why did Princess Yan bring Princess Qi to the palace to seek medical advice?"

If the fourth son’s wife needs to see a royal physician, why not just go to Prince Qi’s mansion?

Emperor Jingming asked as he walked out quickly.

Based on experience, something strange is bound to happen again.

"Your Majesty, the coat--" Pan Hai hurried over with a cloak and put it on Emperor Jingming.

Kunning Palace was busy but not chaotic at the moment, and the two imperial doctors had already begun treating Princess Qi.

Emperor Jingming walked in without being asked to be informed, and immediately saw Jiang Si standing not far from the empress.

"The Emperor is here." The Queen hurried to greet him.

Jiang Si knelt down and said, "Your daughter-in-law has seen the emperor."

Emperor Jingming nodded hastily to the empress and came to Jiang Si and said, "Seventh daughter-in-law, what's going on?"

Jiang Si stood up and explained in an orderly manner: "Today, my fourth sister-in-law asked me to go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense. On the way back, the carriage I was riding in broke down, so I took a carriage with my fourth sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden panic, and at that time, my fourth sister-in-law and I were unable to move for some reason. We could only let the carriage pull us at a speed. Later, the carriage was bumpy and I was thrown out... Fortunately, my daughter-in-law was not seriously injured, but my fourth sister-in-law almost fell off the cliff. After being rescued by the guards, she has been unconscious. My daughter-in-law felt that something was wrong, so she took my fourth sister-in-law to the palace for medical treatment and reported the situation to my father and mother."

Emperor Jingming listened silently, raised his hand and pressed his eyelids, cursing in his heart: My eyelids are getting lazy, they just twitched!
