The queen's eyelids trembled and her eyes became moist.

Looking at the frail girl lying on the ground, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

She has never let go of her last grudge against Fourteen. After all, Fourteen's biological mother, Lady Chen, was the one who had murdered Fuqing many times.

But since Fourteen and Fuqing went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager every day, they appeared in front of her more often. She couldn't help but admire this low-key, smart and sensible child.

She really wants to give this child a good future.

At first, she intended to marry Fuqing to the brother of Princess Yan, a handsome and cheerful young man. But later, Prince Yan was registered under her name, so this plan became inappropriate.

At that time, she was thinking that after Fuqing's marriage was settled, she would bring together the young couple, Fourteenth and the Prince of Dongping.

Who knows--

The empress quickly gathered her composure, and while instructing someone to report to Emperor Jingming, she also arranged for someone to summon the Prince of Yan and his wife to the palace as soon as possible.

Prince Yan clearly used this method to revive Chun Ge'er, the son of the deposed crown prince, so why can't she do it?

In this case, let Prince Yan enter the palace and give it a try. This will show that she has done her best for Fourteenth Prince.

The Queen simply couldn't bear to think about how sad Princess Fuqing would be when she woke up and learned that the Fourteenth Princess was gone.

Taking a look at the lifeless Fourteenth Princess, the Queen sighed, "Take the Fourteenth Princess into the house first and change her into dry clothes."

Immediately, several palace maids followed the Queen's instructions.

The Queen then had time to ask questions.

The queen looked around at the palace ladies present and asked sternly, "Who was the first to arrive at Bi Bo Lake?"

Two eunuchs stepped forward and said in unison, "It's you, my servant."

"Did you two get here together?"

The two eunuchs said yes in unison.

"Tell me about that time."

The two eunuchs looked at each other, and one of them replied, "When I heard the Fourteenth Princess' cry for help, I immediately rushed over--"

The Queen frowned and interrupted the eunuch: "Are you sure it was the Fourteenth Princess who called for help?"

The eunuch bowed his head and said, "I am sure, because... because the cry for help at that time was that someone wanted to harm Princess Fuqing, help--"

The queen was shocked and her face changed drastically: "Did you hear it wrong?"

The eunuch shook his head decisively: "I heard it correctly, and those who came later should have heard it too."

The queen looked at the others, and the palace maids nodded one after another.

The queen's face became more and more unsightly, and she asked again: "Anything else?"

Another eunuch said, "When we rushed over, we saw a eunuch leaving in a hurry, which was very suspicious. But at that time, the two princesses were in the water, so we had no choice but to rescue the two princesses first..."

The queen listened silently, her face filled with anger, and her fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.

Someone is harming Fuqing again!

Who is so heartless that he wants to kill Fuqing time and time again?

If this is the case, wouldn't the 14th be doing this to save Fuqing?

The queen's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but look towards the rippling blue waves of the lake.

What exactly Fuqing and Shisi experienced, I'm afraid we can only wait for Fuqing to wake up and ask.

"You all stay here, no one present is allowed to leave, and nothing here can be destroyed!" After the queen made the arrangements, she hurried to the bedroom where Princess Fuqing was accommodated.

Emperor Jingming was handling government affairs in his study and was troubled by the recent drought reports from many places.

Two eunuchs stood on either side of Emperor Jingming and fanned him one after another. The cool breeze they brought slightly eased the emperor's anxiety.

Not far away, Jixiang squinted his eyes, enjoying the coolness, and licked his paws leisurely with his tongue, without any empathy for his owner's feelings.

Pan Hai added tea at the right time, being considerate and attentive.

At this time, Xiao Lezi appeared at the door, winking at Pan Hai with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing this, Pan Hai quietly walked out and said in a low voice: "What's the matter? If it's not important, don't disturb the emperor!"

The emperor is obviously in a bad mood, so it's better not to provoke him if possible.

Xiao Lezi said with a bitter face: "Master, something big has happened!"

As he spoke, he turned sideways and pushed a eunuch to the front.

The eunuch trembled and said, "The Queen asks the Emperor to hurry over. Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen have fallen into the water--"

Pan Hai rushed back into the room, and the wind he brought was stronger than that from a fan, causing Emperor Jingming to look up.

"What?"

Pan Haiqiang forced out a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't worry--"

"Don't talk nonsense, just say it!" Emperor Jingming already had an unclear conditioned reflex to Pan Hai's expression.

This old guy always causes big trouble every time he does this, and it's more accurate than his lazy eyelids.

"Her Majesty, please come over. Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen have fallen into the water--"

Emperor Jingming rushed out faster than Pan Hai came in.

In Kunning Palace, Princess Fuqing opened her eyes and what she saw was the Queen's worried face.

"Mother--" Princess Fuqing called out in a hoarse voice.

The queen held Princess Fuqing's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "A Quan, are you feeling better?"

Princess Fuqing blinked and nodded slightly, then she quickly grasped the Queen's hand in fear and said, "Mother, someone is trying to harm me!"

The queen's heart skipped a beat and she asked hurriedly, "Who hurt you?"

Princess Fuqing looked a little bewildered: "That eunuch claimed to be from Cining Palace. My fourteenth sister and I were walking towards Kunning Palace at the time. He caught up with me and said that the Empress Dowager wanted me to go back and have something to say..."

Princess Fuqing told the Empress what happened at that time, and finally frowned and said, "Mother, I don't think that person is necessarily from Cining Palace. After all, those are just his one-sided words. But after he covered my mouth, I don't know anything... By the way, where is Fourteenth Sister?"

The Queen's expression changed slightly when asked.

Princess Fuqing looked at the Queen and suddenly panicked: "I asked my Fourteenth Sister to come over and tell you first. Did you listen to my Fourteenth Sister and think it was inappropriate to send someone to rescue me--"

Princess Fuqing's face changed drastically when she said this: "No, if that were the case, you wouldn't be completely unaware... Mother, where is Fourteenth Sister? Where is Fourteenth Sister?"

Seeing Princess Fuqing like this, the Queen's mind raced, but she said calmly, "Fourteenth noticed something was wrong and rushed back to save you. She might have been pushed into the lake by the bad guys... Don't worry, Fourteenth has been placed in another room, and the imperial physician is treating her right now."

Princess Fuqing struggled to stand up: "I want to go see my fourteenth sister."

The queen held her down tightly and said, "How can you leave like this? Things are already in chaos, do you really want to make me anxious?"

"The Emperor has arrived--"

When the empress heard the shout, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly ordered the palace maids to take good care of Princess Fuqing and hurried out to meet her.

"How are they?" Emperor Jingming asked impatiently upon seeing the empress.

The Queen lowered her voice and said, "Fu is awake now. Fourteenth... the imperial physician said he has passed away..."

Emperor Jingming's face instantly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Take me to see her!"

Emperor Jingming stood in front of the Fourteenth Princess, speechless for a long time.

At this time, a palace maid came hurriedly to report: "The Prince of Yan and his wife have arrived."
