The Emperor looked at Empress Jiang coldly and wanted to help Wei Zi himself, but thinking of etiquette, he asked Mrs. Tian to do it for her.
Wei Zi stood up tremblingly, but her knees gave way and she fell to the ground again, dragging Mrs. Tian along with her. She almost fell down.
"Sorry." Wei Zi apologized to Mrs. Tian with a pale face and extremely guilty.
"It's okay, why does the Crown Princess look so bad? Is she suffering from heatstroke? We need to have the imperial doctor come and take a look quickly." Mrs. Tian and Baishui worked together to lift Wei Zi up.
"It's fine--"
Bai Shui's arm was pinched hard by Wei Zi. Bai Shui immediately understood and immediately used his wide sleeves to secretly poke Wei Zi's acupuncture point.
The next moment, Wei Zi rolled her eyes and fainted. Madam Tian was so frightened that she shouted: "Crown Princess, what's wrong with you? Crown Princess——"
"What are you still doing? Call the imperial doctor!" the emperor yelled at his servants.
There was chaos again.
Empress Jiang was stunned: How could she forget that this princess was a sick child?
"Queen, the prince is confused, and you are also confused? In this case, then you and the prince should reflect on it together! Someone comes and takes the queen back to Yiyuan Palace. She is not allowed to step out of the palace without my order!" The emperor was completely convinced!
Don't give Jiang Hou face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tian secretly gave her female officer a wink.
The female official sneaked out of the East Palace quietly among the attendants who were looking for the imperial doctor.
The news that "the Queen was angry with the Crown Princess because of the Crown Prince's mistake and ordered the Crown Princess to kneel down under the scorching sun, and the Crown Princess fainted from kneeling down" spread like the wind to every corner of the palace.
Things like word of mouth get distorted as they are passed on:
First it turned into "The Queen scolded the Crown Princess for no reason, and the Crown Princess was covered in blood and fainted."
In the end, it became "The Queen punished the Crown Princess with a stick for no reason, and the Crown Princess was dying and her life was hanging by a thread."
Naturally, this is a story for another day.
But the story of "the Queen punishing the Crown Princess without any reason" did spread quickly from the East Palace, and Wei Gong was the first to learn about it.
He didn't change his expression even as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He was also confused for a while, and Gui's words echoed in his ears over and over again:
"The daughter I worked so hard to give birth to and raised as a treasure in my hands was not intended to be sold and abandoned in the future!"
"I don't care what the Yong court does, I only care about whether my daughter is good or not!"
Wei Gong closed his eyes silently, and for the first time he began to doubt whether his persistence over the years was correct.
He inherited the Wei family from his ancestors and also inherited the mission of the Wei family: the Wei family and the Ji family share prosperity and death together.
As the leader of the three princes, all his efforts are to make Dayong officials govern the Qingming Dynasty and make the sea, rivers and rivers clear. Only when the world is stable can Dayong survive for thousands of generations, and the Wei family can flourish.
But if his efforts are fruitless and Dayong cannot live forever, what about the Wei family?
Do you really die with Dayong?
He couldn't even stand by and watch his daughter being bullied in the palace, so how could he be so cruel as to give up on the Wei family?

Duke Wei waited for two full hours, and finally all he waited for was a message from the emperor's personal attendant.
"Your Majesty is not feeling well. I have ordered my servant to inform you: Mr. Wei will go back today. If there is any matter, we will discuss it another day."
He actually turned into a turtle with his head shrunk. Wei Gong was dumbfounded.
