But Ling Yue's body was still leaning forward due to the inertia of the previous pull. She used this force to pull Su Jingyao to the ground, but she herself was fine.
Su Jingyao was caught off guard and fell directly on the stones. Her body rubbed violently against the stones, and her ankle made a "crunching" sound.
The moment she fell into the water, An Jinyan saw Su Jingyao saving Ling Yue, and her heart was filled with regret and anger.
She never thought that all this she had carefully planned would leave Ling Yue unharmed!
Her original plan was to injure Ling Yue's face. Even if she couldn't be disfigured, she would at least be ashamed to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of her ugly face, so that she could spend more time with His Highness.
After all, after entering the Eastern Palace, the place His Highness visited most often was Qiluan Palace. He had little time to favor them, let alone spend time with His Highness.
What's more, the Crown Princess is jealous. When Your Highness doesn't go to Qiluan Palace, the Crown Princess will send someone to invite His Highness over.
This was totally unacceptable to An Jinyan.
So today she directed and acted out such a drama herself. She fell into the water and made herself the victim. She was even slapped by the Crown Princess. In this way, the Crown Princess's injury naturally had little to do with her.
Moreover, even if the Crown Prince protects this jealous and intolerant Crown Princess, the Empress will not let her go if the incident gets out of hand.
But she never expected that the idiot Su Jingyao would appear. She had already entered the Eastern Palace, but she was still playing the sisterly love game.
Her kindness will eventually kill her!
Although Su Jingyao was prepared to let herself get hurt, she didn't want to be hurt too badly, especially since she was pregnant now.
The moment she landed, she quickly adjusted her posture, even at the cost of spraining her ankle, in order to change her landing direction to a relatively safer one.
After Su Jingyao landed on the ground, Ling Yue finally realized that it was because of the force he had just exerted that caused Su Jingyao to fall.
A sense of guilt and self-blame suddenly surged in her heart, but more of it was shock. She never expected that Su Jingyao would risk her own safety to save her!
After all, she had ridiculed her before, so did she really not care at all?
As the Crown Princess, Ling Yue had arrived at the lotus pond to attend the banquet on time, and Jun Zechen also happened to arrive at this time.
However, just as he came over, he watched helplessly as the little woman was pulled by Ling Yue and fell straight to the ground.
Jun Zechen's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry. Even at this tense moment, he couldn't help but call out "Yaoyao".
When Ling Yue heard the cry, her heart sank. She stared at Jun Zechen blankly, her heart filled with shock and disbelief.
Are he and Su Jingyao already so close?
There was a hint of resentment in Ling Yue's eyes.
At this time, Su Jingyao's face turned as pale as paper, without any blood color, and her lips also lost their original redness and became extremely pale.
She sprained her ankle, and the pain made her frown, with beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
She was already frail, and such a sprain was unbearable pain for her, causing her to break out in cold sweats.
What's more, in order to avoid hurting her stomach, her calves and thighs fell on the stones. She could clearly feel the stinging sensation of her skin being scratched by the stones.
The pain came like a tide, almost making her faint.
Jun Zechen rushed to her at an extremely fast speed, his eyes full of anxiety and heartache. He quickly bent down and picked her up.
His movements were gentle and careful, as if he was holding an inestimable treasure in his arms.
Jun Zechen shouted angrily: "Anshun, call the imperial physician!" His voice was full of anger and anxiety.
Then, he held her in his arms and walked quickly towards Xiyan Palace without looking back.
Ling Yue followed him dejectedly, watching her husband being so attentive to another woman.
Then, looking at his anxious back as he carried Su Jingyao and hurried to Xiyan Palace, I felt sad, bitter, painful, and conflicted.
She didn't understand why Su Jingyao was so kind and beautiful!
She wanted to be jealous, but Su Jingyao was the one who saved her. How could she still be jealous of Su Jingyao at this time?
For the first time, Ling Yue discovered that she was such a selfish person...
On the way to Xiyan Palace, Jun Zechen frowned, his eyes full of concern and anxiety. He lowered his head slightly and asked softly.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
Su Jingyao tightly wrapped her arms around the man's neck and said in a weak and painful voice, "My legs hurt."
Jun Zechen's eyes fell on her legs. The places scratched by stones had begun to bleed, and the scars seemed to be piercing his heart.
The sprained ankle could not be seen because it was covered by the skirt, but he could imagine that it must be swollen and painful.
Suddenly, Su Jingyao's body began to tremble slightly, and her face turned frighteningly pale, as bloodless as a piece of white paper.
Jun Zechen's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at her with heartache, and said with a hint of panic in his voice: "Yaoyao, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Su Jingyao held her stomach tightly, a painful expression on her face, and her voice was full of pain and helplessness.
"Your Highness, my stomach hurts so much, wuwu..."
Her brows were tightly furrowed, beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, and her painful look made Jun Zechen feel heartbroken.
