Compared to the two who were unconscious and half-dead, Wei Shuwan was in much better condition. After getting ashore, she leaned against a tree and spat out a few mouthfuls of water before hurriedly searching for something in her sleeve.
Li Qingchen watched her rummaging around in confusion, and finally saw her take out a wad of paper stuck together like glue. Her chin twitched, her eyes glistened, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
"You didn't cry when you were on the verge of death, but now you're suddenly realizing it?" Li Qingchen's words sounded like a joke, but they also carried a sense of inquiry.
Wei Shuwan raised her watery eyes and looked at him: "This is that list..."
Li Qingchen felt a slight tremor in his heart, but he quickly made the connection.
Last time in the Repentance Room, she tearfully recounted how Wei Chengxiu had been framed and gone blind. He had asked about the whereabouts of those servants, and she had said that her mother had left a list. Today, she came to the palace, probably hoping to see her again, and brought the list with her.
Li Qingchen reached out and took the "list". Indeed, the handwriting was no longer legible; all the ink had dissolved into a blackish-gray blob.
But when he spoke, he still spoke in a nonchalant tone: "It's alright, it can be restored to its original state." After saying that, he wrapped it in a cotton handkerchief and put it in his sleeve.
He solemnly said to Wei Shuwan, "I will help you find out who framed your brother back then."
Tears welled up in Wei Shuwan's eyes, making it almost impossible to see Li Qingchen's face clearly, but she still looked at him with utmost sincerity, "Really?"
The blurry figure nodded: "Really."
As they were talking, sedan chairs were quickly brought over and carried the three women to the nearest empty palace. The imperial physicians also went straight there to examine them.
Wei Shuwan's injuries were the least severe. Apart from some bruising on her knee from the hidden stone, she only had a chill. The imperial physician gave her a bottle of ointment for external application and then prescribed a remedy to dispel the cold, which he ordered to be prepared.
Princess Yun'an was still conscious while in the water, but after Li Qingchen came to rescue her, she relaxed and became somewhat dizzy and had a high fever. The imperial physician prescribed a remedy and ordered someone to prepare it.
As for the palace maid, although her head injury was quite serious, she managed to save her life.
Meanwhile, someone recognized her: "This is Aman from Yucui Palace. How did she fall into the water with Princess Yun'an? We should go and inform the Imperial Concubine first."
Since only two rooms were prepared in this palace, one for Princess Yun'an and one for Wei Shuwan and the palace maid named Aman, Wei Shuwan also heard this when others recognized Aman.
This confirmed her earlier suspicions; it seemed that Wen Chan had indeed complained to the Imperial Concubine, who wanted to teach her a lesson. However, the Imperial Concubine hadn't expected that this lesson would unexpectedly involve Princess Yun'an.
The palace servant who went to report to Yu Cui Palace returned quickly, bringing back four people from Yu Cui Palace. They immediately wanted to take A Man back.
Wei Shuwan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This was clearly Consort Wen's guilty conscience, afraid that A'man would say something she shouldn't have if she stayed here.
After the people from Yu Cui Palace took A Man away, only Wei Shuwan remained in the room. She sat on the couch with her knees drawn up to her chest, wrapped in a thick quilt, lost in thought.
Since her rebirth, she first offended the Prince Jing's mansion by accident, and now she has also been targeted by Consort Wen. With two such powerful enemies in Shengjing, she will have to give up her life sooner or later.
But if she were to fawn over these people, her personality clearly wouldn't allow it.
Should she find someone to rely on...?
