Emperor Jingming was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the empress.

The Queen explained, "While rescuing Fourteen, I suddenly remembered that Jian'er had once saved Chun'er from drowning, so I ordered someone to summon them into the palace."

Emperor Jingming suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, quickly call the Seventh Elder and his wife over!"

He remembered that when Chun'er fell into the water in Jingyuan, he was said to be dead, but was saved by Lao Qi. Now that Fourteenth was in this state, Lao Qi must have a way.

Soon Jiang Si and Yu Jin were brought in by the eunuchs.

Jiang Si saw the Fourteenth Princess lying quietly on the bed at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he even forgot to pay his respects to the Emperor and Empress.

The dragon controls life and death, and she can no longer sense any hope for the Fourteenth Princess' life.

Yu Jin took Jiang Si to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress.

Emperor Jingming pointed at the Fourteenth Princess and said to Yu Jin, "Stop doing these empty things and take a look at your Fourteenth Sister."

Yu Jin walked to the bed, glanced at the Fourteenth Princess for a few seconds, and then looked at Emperor Jingming in surprise.

Emperor Jingming glared and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

Yu Jin thought for a moment and asked carefully, "Father asked me to look after Fourteenth Sister because he wanted to--"

"Didn't you save Chun Ge'er from drowning? Shi Si is drowning, see if you can save him."

Yu Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "Father, my fourteenth sister has been gone for a while, and I can't do anything about it."

He started killing people on the battlefield when he was just over ten years old. He had seen more dead bodies than some people had seen living people. He could tell at a glance that the Fourteenth Princess already had the look of a dead person, so there was no way he could save her.

Emperor Jingming was unable to accept this and asked unwillingly, "Didn't Chun'er already die at that time? But you brought him back to life in the end?"

Yu Jin helplessly explained: "Chun Ge'er just stopped breathing and his heartbeat temporarily. Fortunately, he woke up because of the timely and effective rescue. But Fourteenth Sister is different--"

"How is it different?" Emperor Jingming asked.

When he heard that Chun Ge'er was saved by the Seventh Brother, he thought it was a miraculous act. Could it be that it wouldn't work on the Fourteenth Brother?

Yu Jin looked at the Fourteenth Princess again and sighed, "Fourteenth sister is gone. The dead cannot be resurrected. There is nothing my son can do to save her..."

If a dead person can be brought back to life, he would be a god and there would be no need to fight for the throne.

Emperor Jingming moved his lips, and sighed with a sad look: "Forget it."

He glanced at Princess Fourteen and felt grief-stricken.

The repeated blows have made the emperor look increasingly old.

"Empress, how did Fuqing and Shisi fall into the water?"

The queen looked gloomy and gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the two of them were pushed into the water!"

"What?" Emperor Jingming was shocked and extremely surprised.

The queen carefully repeated what Princess Fuqing had said and what she had learned from the palace maids, and said solemnly, "I have already ordered people to guard Bi Bo Lake. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for Fuqing and the Fourteenth."

Emperor Jingming's face was extremely gloomy, and he said angrily: "How can this be possible? This villain is so bold. I will tear him into pieces after I find him!"

"Your Majesty, should we send someone to ask the Queen Mother?" The Queen asked calmly, but she was filled with resentment in her heart.

She shouldn't have cared about the emperor's filial piety. She knew that there were problems in Cining Palace and even the Empress Dowager, but she didn't arrange for people to follow Fuqing and the others secretly, which led to today's disaster.

The Queen was right to be cautious. If the two princesses secretly sent someone to follow them when they went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, it would be bad if the Emperor and the Queen Mother heard about it.

How could it make sense to send someone to protect a granddaughter when she comes to pay her respects to her grandmother? How would this put the Empress Dowager's reputation in shame?

But now, the queen only felt regret and fear.

The man who had been hiding in the dark to harm Fuqing became more and more daring, to the point where he attacked her openly in broad daylight on the road that Fuqing and her were most familiar with.

This is simply unbelievable.

She must find this person out, otherwise she will not be able to sleep or eat.

Emperor Jingming immediately ordered Pan Hai: "Send someone to Cining Palace to ask the empress dowager whether she has ordered the eunuchs to ask Princess Fuqing to return."

Pan Hai took the order and made arrangements.

Emperor Jingming walked out and said, "Let's go take a look at Bi Bo Lake."

The emperor and empress walked in front, and Jiang Si and Yu Jin followed behind.

When he reached the door, Jiang Si couldn't help but look back.

The Fourteenth Princess was silent on the bed, just as quiet as she had been when she was alive, never laughing or crying loudly.

As the daughter of a guilty concubine, she has always lived cautiously, hoping for nothing more than a stable life.

But even this thought has become a luxury for her who was born in a royal family.

Jiang Si pursed her lips and whispered in her heart: Fourteenth sister, A-Jian and I will definitely find the person who harmed you and make him get his retribution.

You can go with peace of mind. In your next life, you will be the daughter of a small landlord. You will have enough food and clothing, and you won't have to worry about intrigue. You can find a man who loves you, grow old together, and have many children and grandchildren.

Many palace ladies were standing by the Bi Bo Lake. When they saw the emperor and empress arriving, they hurriedly bowed.

Emperor Jingming walked over with a gloomy face, looked at the lakeside with messy footprints, and said, "Seventh Brother, see if you have any clues."

Yu Jin agreed and began to examine carefully, and soon found some bloodstains dripping on the ground.

He immediately asked, "Mother, is there any external injury on Thirteenth Sister?"

The queen quickly shook her head: "No."

It is clear that she cares most about her daughter.

"Where's the fourteenth sister?"

“No.”

The Fourteenth Princess had already changed her clothes, and the Queen also asked her whether she had any external injuries.

"So, the bad guy was injured." Yu Jin thought for a moment and analyzed, "According to Thirteenth Sister, she should have lost her ability to resist instantly, and the bad guy's external injuries should have been caused by Fourteenth Sister. Fourteenth Sister was alone and weak, and she was most likely to hurt the bad guy when the bad guy attacked Thirteenth Sister at the beginning. In that case, she should have--"

Yu Jin closed his eyes and imagined the scene at that time, and speculated: "Choose the back of the head!"

"Ama--" Jiang Si's voice came and handed him a stone.

Yu Jin took it and saw the bloodstains on the stone.

Jiang Si pointed and said, "I found it there."

The stone fell from the Fourteenth Princess's hand and rolled to a hidden place. It was discovered so quickly thanks to Jiang Simin's sharp sense of smell.

"Sister Fourteen was injured by a criminal who threw a stone. The wounds were most likely on the head and face, followed by the hands and other exposed skin areas."

At this time, the person sent by Pan Hai came running and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Cining Palace said that they did not send anyone to invite Princess Fuqing back..."

Emperor Jingming's face turned livid, and he shouted, "Investigate! Even if you have to search every corner of the palace, you must find all the injured people for me!"

Yu Jin shook his head: "Father, there is no need to be so troublesome."

Emperor Jingming looked at him with confusion in his eyes.

"Just call Erniu. Since the villain has left fresh blood, Erniu will be able to find him as long as he is in the palace."

Emperor Jingming immediately said, "Pan Hai, tell General Xiaotian to enter the palace!"
