"Bocheng, hurry up and save the prince!" Depressed, Wei Zi could not care about Ji Qi's life or death, nor could he destroy his graceful and considerate persona as the crown prince.
"Princess, slave... I don't know how to drink water..." Bocheng really knelt down this time.
Wei Zi was really convinced. His Royal Highness himself didn't know how to drink water, and neither did the attendants he brought with him.
"I won't go down and save the prince!" Empress Jiang was furious.
Baishui raised his eyes and looked at Wei Zi: I can.
Wei Zi's face was so anxious that he was about to cry, but his hands under the wide sleeves of his robe were holding the white water to prevent him from moving.
Baishui:???
"Where is Aunt Cao? Caiwei, call Aunt Cao quickly!"
Before Wei Zi finished speaking, Caiwei had already brought Nanny Cao over. Without saying a word, the two jumped into the water. Nanny Cao went to fish for the prince, while Caiwei went to rescue Zhao Ji.
Under the coercion of Queen Jiang, Bocheng and several nuns had no choice but to jump into the water.
As a result, there were several people splashing in the water. They knew how to pull the water but not how to swim. Saving people - there was no such thing.
It was Grandma Cao and Caiwei who brought Ji Qi and Zhao Ji back to the shore.
Empress Jiang saw Ji Qi vomiting lake water and her face turned pale. How could she care about admiring flowers and beauty pageants?
A lively banquet ended just like that, and all the ladies went back to their homes with complicated thoughts, each looking for their mother.

Ji Qi developed a high fever that night.
Empress Jiang was so anxious that the imperial doctors acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy and did not dare to neglect him.
Out of guilt, Wei Zi asked Baishui to take the antipyretic medicine for Ji Qi secretly while others were unprepared.
At dawn, Ji Qi's fever finally subsided, but while half asleep and half awake, he started talking nonsense: "Hanying... Hanying, don't leave..."
Queen Jiang, who was sitting by the bed, was stunned and asked the female official next to her: "Who is Hanying?"
The female officer replied: "Taian Bo's daughter, Zhao Ji."
Empress Jiang's expression suddenly changed and she sneered: "What a daughter of Tai'an Bo. Could it be that she is the reincarnation of Meixi and Baosi, and she is here to harm my son!"
She completely forgot that she was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and called all the noble ladies here, asking the prince to choose the ones he liked and bring them into the East Palace to have children.
Wei Zi stood aside and tried to reduce his presence.
What could the prince do wrong? The fault was of course the women who seduced him and made him lose his mind. As the saying goes, beauty is a curse, and Zhao Ji is a poisonous woman.
The reason why Zhao Ji appeared was because of her fault as the Crown Princess. Who made her not liked by the Crown Prince, and why she was not in good health and could not have children?
As expected, Queen Jiang's next words were directed at Wei Zi: "Crown Princess, you should pay more attention to the Crown Prince."
"Yes, Queen Mother, I will remember this." Wei Zi felt guilty and blamed herself, with a look on her face that she wished she had suffered this crime for Ji Qi.
Seeing this, Empress Jiang's face softened a little, and she turned her attention back to Ji Qi, ignoring Wei Zi.
Wei Zi continued to stand obediently, not daring to move even though her feet were sore and numb.

The matter of the flower appreciation feast soon fell into Feng Danyuan's ears.
Qingfu explained everything to Feng Danyuan in detail.
Speaking of when Wei Ziming ordered Baishui to kick Ji Qi into the lake so that Ji Qi and Zhao Ji could be harmed, Feng Danyuan couldn't help but chuckle: "She will do whatever it takes to keep her ears clean."
