Chapter 126: Serial Framing
Lu Zhiqing was also full of thoughts at this time. She didn't know why the Queen noticed her and that she had won the favor of the Imperial Concubine. If the Queen also looked at her differently, then would there be a chance for her to be with His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang...
By this time they had reached the gate of Jingyuan. Su Qianqian found that the black sesame seeds she had scattered before were gone. She couldn't help but look around, and suddenly found a big rooster who was also looking around with his head down like her.
Rooster: How come it suddenly disappeared?
[Hahaha, your road signs are all built by this big rooster. This is no ordinary rooster. Normally, no one dares to let animals into the imperial garden. This is a rooster commended by the emperor. It is especially favored by the emperor and is allowed to walk freely in the imperial garden. No one dares to provoke it. 】
The system solved Su Qianqian’s confusion.
[Are you eating my road signs under orders?] Look, I took it! 】
Su Qianqian looked at the palace maid and Lu Zhiqing walking in front of her. There was no one around. With a thought, the rooster disappeared in front of Jingyuan's gate. She sent it into the space to accompany Dingfeng!
Su Qianqian could only follow the palace maid. Turning left and right, Su Qianqian had no idea how to go back.
"I wonder where the Queen is now?" Su Qianqian was a little confused, but there were many rules in the palace, so she didn't dare to ask casually.
"Madam Wuning, the Queen is right in front of us by the Yueyin Lake. Please hurry up and don't keep her waiting anxiously."
The palace maid looked very anxious, but she didn't dare to rush him, but she walked very quickly.
[No, my lady, this palace maid was not sent by the Queen. She had met a palace maid before. That palace maid asked her to take you to Yueyin Lake in the name of the Queen, but she did not tell her who she was going to meet. My lady, you have to be careful. 】
The system issued a warning to Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian naturally noticed something was wrong. She had already bought the talismans in the mall and was holding the steel needle coated with capsaicin in her hand.
[Who in this palace could be willing to harm the two of us? Once Miss Lu leaves the Marquis' Mansion, we will keep to ourselves. But if anything happens to the two of us... No, no matter what happens to either of us, there may be turmoil in the court! 】
Su Qianqian suddenly realized: If Prime Minister Xue was already investigating Lu Zhiqing's background, and something happened to her at this time, it was because the person behind the scenes prevented the truth from being revealed, and then triggered Lu Zhiqing to turn evil after knowing the truth.
If the person in trouble is Su Qianqian, the Qin family will definitely not let the suspect Lu Zhiqing go.
Then Lu Zhiqing's life experience was revealed. Prime Minister Xue and his wife could not bear to see their biological daughter being taken away just after they recognized each other, so they had to find evidence for their daughter and confront the Qin family. The previously harmonious and stable relationship between them collapsed. At the same time, the Taifu Mansion would not let Prime Minister Xue go.
Su Qianqian figured out the trick and secretly observed the surrounding environment. She found that this place was relatively remote, with fewer flowers and plants, and more large bonsai decorations like Taihu stones, which were connected to the rockery not far away.
When they were almost at the lake, they saw someone wearing a cloak standing with his back to them. The palace maid gestured to them to walk in front. Just as Su Qianqian had passed the palace maid, Lu Zhiqing behind her suddenly screamed. Su Qianqian turned around and saw that Lu Zhiqing had fallen into the lake.
"Help! Someone's killing someone! The wife of Marquis Wuning has killed someone!" The palace maid shouted as she ran back.
No matter how remote it was, this was the emperor's imperial garden and someone would be coming soon. Su Qianqian chased after them without saying a word and kicked the maid into the lake.
Looking back at Lu Zhiqing, she was still struggling in the water, and it was obvious that she couldn't swim.
Nothing!
Su Qianqian complained that she had to save her, otherwise she would be in trouble. She couldn't take off her outer robe no matter what. She gritted her teeth and jumped into the water, swam towards Lu Zhiqing, and according to the method of underwater rescue, she put one hand around her waist from behind and dragged her to the shore with all her strength.
At this time, someone was already running towards this side. Su Qianqian dragged Lu Zhiqing to the shore, but she was also exhausted. A person who falls into the water will struggle and cling to the person who is trying to save her, which greatly consumes the rescuer's energy.
The one who ran over was a young eunuch from the palace, who hurriedly reached out to help Su Qianqian pull Lu Zhiqing up.
After Su Qianqian was pulled ashore by the young eunuch, she looked again for the man in the cloak, but he had disappeared.
Su Qianqian asked the young eunuch to go and find people from the Wuning Marquis' Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and told them that this matter must not be made public. If the emperor and the empress knew about it, he would lose his head.
The young eunuch naturally knew how powerful this was. Such things happened frequently in the palace, but they were family scandals that were covered up so that no one outside would know about them. However, these two were nobles outside the palace, and if something happened in the palace, the emperor would definitely find scapegoats.
The young eunuch glanced at the palace maid who was swimming to the shore from the water, and ran to deliver the letter.
Su Qianqian stood up first and went to the palace maid, and kicked her hard again, pushing the palace maid who was about to climb ashore back in. Since she could swim, she swam for a while longer.
He took this opportunity to bring the unconscious Lu Zhiqing into the space. After rescuing her in the space, he wiped himself dry and took some anti-cold medicine, and also gave one pill to the dizzy Lu Zhiqing.
"It's a good deal for you, but if you die now, I'm afraid the world will collapse, so I have to save your life."
The inner clothes in the dryer were almost dry, so she quickly took Lu Zhiqing out of the space. Su Qianqian didn't care about her clothes, and her outer robe was still wet because of acting...
Hurrying footsteps were heard, and Qin Hanzhang soon came to Su Qianqian's side. He looked nervous and cold, and quickly took off his cloak and covered Su Qianqian with it.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Hanzhang did not ask why she fell into the water, but was worried about her health first. This made Su Qianqian a little surprised and a little warmed.
"It's nothing, we just accidentally slipped and fell into the water. Luckily, an eunuch pulled us out, but the poor palace maid also jumped into the lake to save us."
Su Qianqian pointed at the palace maid who had climbed up again but had no strength left.
[You pushed Lu Zhiqing into the water to frame me. How can I let you have it easy? If we have to jump, we should jump together. Letting you live means that I want to know who you are. If you die, the Queen Mother will be framed. For the Queen Mother's sake, I have to spare your life. 】
Su Qianqian said in her heart. At this time, Prime Minister Xue, who had already arrived, paused, looked at the palace maid coldly, and remembered her appearance.
The Queen also heard that Su Qianqian and Lu Zhiqing had fallen into the water, so she sent people to carry them to Kunhe Palace in the palace sedan chair to wash and change clothes, and ordered the imperial physician to come and see them.
Lu Zhiqing was helped into the sedan chair by the palace maids, but Qin Hanzhang picked up Su Qianqian without saying a word and walked quickly to Kunhe Palace.
[You have energy but nowhere to use it?] There's no need to hold the sedan chair when there's one. It looks ugly, okay? 】
Su Qianqian looked at Qin Hanzhang, who was usually like an iceberg. Without saying a word, he held her and walked in the palace people's surprised eyes. It really overturned her three views. It turned out that a playboy could relapse?
The queen also returned to Kunhe Palace at this time. After Su Qianqian and Lu Zhiqing changed into clean clothes and asked the imperial physician to check and prescribe medicine, she let everyone else leave and asked them what had happened.
Lu Zhiqing finally came to her senses and gradually remembered that it was the maid who pushed her into the water. In addition to fear, there was also confusion in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have no grudge against that maid, why did she push me into the water?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Lu fell into the water and got confused. No one pushed her. We fell into the lake accidentally, and the palace maid jumped in to rescue her. Fortunately, I can swim a little, so I was able to rescue Miss Lu."
Su Qianqian blinked, took the ginger sugar water brought in by the palace maid, and sipped it slowly.
"How could you..." Lu Zhiqing turned around to refute, but suddenly stopped, remembering that the maid was from the Queen's palace.
"We should ask the maid if she remembered the wrong way and why she led us to the lake."
Su Qianqian meant something.
