In Concubine Mei's Changxin Palace, women's exclamations rang out. In the chaos, a high-pitched voice suddenly appeared and shouted: "The Emperor has arrived---"
This sentence was like a spell, causing the entire Changxin Palace to become silent instantly.
It seemed that even the air froze for a moment, and then, everyone present except the Queen Mother kowtowed.
The Emperor of Dajing is already in his fifties this year, in his sixtieth year, with gray hair on his temples. He is calm and powerful. At this time, he puts one hand behind his back and the other in front of his chest, playing with the two jade fingers on his thumb, and does not allow anyone to salute.
He stood up and said in a calm voice: "I heard you guys making noises from all the way away. How can you behave like this?"
Behind his bright yellow figure, in addition to many accompanying palace maids and eunuchs, stood Yin Ziheng, who was wearing an official robe embroidered with a unicorn representing a first-class military general.
At this time, Yin Ziheng's face was extremely ugly. His eyes were filled with suppressed anxiety. His eyes flashed quickly from everyone, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for.
When the Queen Mother saw Yin Ziheng, her heart skipped a beat and she secretly thought that Princess Mingfang was right. This Yin Ziheng really took Sikong Qingying very seriously.
It seemed that Sikong Qingying couldn't let anything happen here. She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The concubines and princesses didn't mean to make noise. In fact, it happened for a reason... Someone accidentally fell into the water just now, and we are calling for rescue."
Falling into the water?
Yin Ziheng breathed heavily and glanced towards the lake. He immediately saw Sikong Qingying who had swam to the lake and fainted again.
"Xiaoying!!!"
Yin Ziheng didn't care that the concubines and princesses were still kneeling, and he didn't care that the emperor was present, and jumped directly in front of Sikong Qingying.
The stunning girl, who looked cold on the outside but was actually extremely soft on the inside, was now lying on the ground with a pale complexion and black lips, making no sound.
Even her lower body was still in the lake, dyeing the originally clear water red...
red?
is blood!
Yin Ziheng's heart trembled, and the distressed feeling hit the softest place in his heart wave after wave. He carefully held Sikong Qingying into his arms---after touching Sikong Qingying's body
When he arrived, he realized that Sikong Qingying's body was like ice and snow, without any warmth.
Yin Ziheng suddenly felt dizzy, and the feeling that he was about to lose Sikong Qingying gripped his heart tightly, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"Mr. Xuan."
Yin Ziheng's actions were so drastic that the emperor could not pretend not to know, so he made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the eunuchs around him to find the imperial doctor.
"Mother."
The emperor's face was also very ugly now. He frowned, with a bit of boredom in his eyes, and said slowly: "I once promised an old friend to save Sikong Qingying's life. I hope my mother will not let me break my promise.
"
The smile on the Queen Mother's face trembled, and she frowned and said, "What does the Emperor mean by this? Does the Emperor think that the Ai family will still have trouble with such a thing?"
At this time, Princess Mingfang couldn't help but said: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with Grandma Huang. It was Xiao Liu who accidentally bumped into Mrs. Yin. It was really just an accident."
"Shut up!" The emperor glared at Princess Mingfang fiercely:
"I haven't mentioned you yet. You are already a married princess. How do you look like running around the palace all day long?"
Princess Mingfang felt aggrieved and had to lower her head, not daring to say anything anymore.
The Queen Mother refused: "Your Majesty, Mingfang is back in the palace to see the Ai family. You are busy with affairs all day and can't take care of the Ai family as a mother. Don't you want the Ai family's granddaughter to come and accompany the Ai family?"
Yin Ziheng hugged Sikong Qingying, his expression could not be concealed, and he looked at the Queen Mother with ferocious eyes, aggressively saying: "The Queen Mother has no intention of getting along with Xiaoying, so why did the intact Xiaoying become dying and stained with blood in Taihu Lake when she saw the Queen Mother?
"
His hands holding Sikong Qingying were very tight, and veins popped out on his forehead. If the emperor hadn't been there, if he hadn't still had sense, he would have wanted to take the life of this old woman now. She was already over 70 years old, and yet she was still alive and causing trouble.
others.
The emperor's attention was immediately drawn to Yin Ziheng. He also saw that Sikong Qingying's body was stained with large amounts of blood. The secret thoughts in his heart were that he wanted Sikong Qingying to die. However, he did promise to an old friend.
Sikong Qingying took action.
Today's incident was beyond his expectation. Now, whether Sikong Qingying lives or dies, he can only leave it to fate.
