Shen Xingwan cautiously arrived at Yihe Hall and was welcomed in to see the elegant Concubine Xian.
The eldest lady had brought her to visit before, so Concubine Xian was very kind to her and helped her up, "My lady, follow me."
She followed Concubine Xian into the side hall of Yihe Hall and saw Xie Zhuohua lying on the bed with a flushed face.
A palace maid was wiping her face with cold water.
Xie Zhuohua rolled over and grabbed the sheets in pain.
Concubine Xian said, "On the way I was sending Chengcheng back, I met Miss Xie who was running towards me in a state of confusion."
Concubine Xian saw something was wrong with her at a glance, and finally let the palace maid in her hand carry her back to the palace.
"Mother, the cold water is ready."
Concubine Xian made a quick decision, "Help Miss Xie into the water."
Xie Zhuohua put his cup into the cold water, frowned slightly, and the burning sensation on his body eased a bit.
Concubine Xian said, "This matter concerns Miss Xie's reputation. I don't dare to make a big deal about it."
If it weren't for her surname being Xie, Concubine Xian spent half of her childhood living with the eldest lady in the backyard of the Shen family. Knowing that the Xie and Shen families were closely related, she would not have taken action.
After all, she only has a three-year-old little princess under her knees, and she has always followed the path of keeping a low profile and not causing trouble.
The cold water soon couldn't suppress Xie Zhuohua's medicine, and Xie Zhuohua almost fell into madness, but the Queen had not yet come.
Concubine Xian's eldest maid came back, knelt down and said anxiously, "It seems something happened again. The queen left before I had a chance to tell her the news."
Shen Xingwan asked Concubine Xian for a needle, and after disinfecting it with alcohol, she gave Xie Zhuohua a few injections, and Xie Zhuohua fainted.
Shen Xingwan said to Qinghong, "Go to the Queen Mother and tell her that we are leaving the palace immediately."
She had already noticed the violent storm in the palace, and Xie Zhuohua was obviously involved in it, although she didn't know how he escaped.
But now that the situation is unclear, it is best to leave the palace.
Soon the Queen Mother's nun came in person. Xie Zhuohua had already changed into a set of clean clothes and was helped onto the sedan chair.
Mammy held the Queen Mother's token in her hand and sent the two of them out of the palace smoothly without any hindrance.
The two of them changed to the Shen family's carriage and ran towards the Shen family at high speed.
There was indeed a big drama going on in the palace. First, Shen Qingran fell into the water for some unknown reason, and was rescued by the fourth prince who was passing by.
Although it may hinder the girl's reputation, in the final analysis, she is a hero saving the beauty, and it is not too ugly.
The most speechless thing is that when the two ladies went to touch up their makeup, they heard a sound that made people blush as soon as they entered the Jingchen Room.
This was in the deep palace, and the two ladies were so frightened that they couldn't understand.
He froze in place.
At this time, Wan Zhaoyi appeared with several concubines. Upon hearing this, Wan Zhaoyi immediately became angry, "This is the palace, who dares to be so presumptuous and do dirty things here!"
Then he asked the father-in-law below to go over and open the door.
The two ladies and several concubines watched a fierce drama.
The two ladies vaguely recognized the person on the bed, and their faces turned pale with shock.
When the queen arrived with her people, the two people in the room were still entangled as if no one was around.
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person for the first time, and told the female officer behind her, "Go and invite the Queen Mother and Concubine Lu."
Mrs. Tao, who had the courage to follow her in the name of touch-up makeup, looked at the scene in front of her with despair on her face.
Tao Mingran's eyes were already red.
The queen glanced at her and did not blame her, but said, "Madam, don't worry, your concubine will definitely give the Tao family an explanation."
Mrs. Tao's heart felt cold. What's the explanation?
What can I say?
Among the people in the room, one is the sixth prince and the other is the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion.
None of them are beyond the control of the Tao family.
It would be good to keep her position as the sixth imperial concubine.
Tao Mingran shed tears silently, although from the moment she was given the marriage, she was prepared that the sixth prince would have concubines and many women in the future.
I never expected it to come so quickly and in this way.
When the Queen Mother and Concubine Lu came in together, the courtyard was filled with silence.
The Queen looked at the calm Concubine Lu with a half-smile, "Concubine Lu is late, the Sixth Prince is quite capable of messing around."
The imperial concubine immediately knelt down and said, "I will inevitably have an accident if I drink too much. I am still too young and energetic. Please punish me."
It seems like he is asking for forgiveness, but in reality he is understating it.
The queen glanced at her lightly and said, "Concubine, please get up. It's not my turn to say whether you should be punished or not."
The Queen Mother frowned, "Let's clean up the mess inside first, and then we'll talk about other things."
The palace maids and nuns entered the room together, closed the door, and cleaned up the aftermath.
The queen said to the maid next to her, "Go and invite people from the Hou family to come over."
Concubine Su stiffened for a moment, "Why did you invite Madam Hou?"
"Of course because the person inside is Miss Su." The queen looked at her, "otherwise, who does the noble concubine think she is?"
The imperial concubine's eyes darkened, "I just came here, so of course I don't know who is inside. I was just a little surprised to hear that it was Miss Su."
I was a little disappointed in my heart, but I quickly cheered up again. The Su family was not bad.
Mrs. Hou was invited in with a confused look on her face. After being told that the person inside was Su Jingyi, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
How could it be Su Jingyi?
The sixth prince's main concubine is Tao Mingran, who was personally granted a marriage by the emperor. The marriage granted by the emperor cannot be changed.
Now that something like this has happened, Su Jingyi is destined to be a child.
Madam Hou had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat and had to hold on.
Concubine Lu was looking at her, "No matter what, if something like this happens, Jia'er will be responsible."
The expression on Mrs. Hou's face was extremely wonderful. She couldn't laugh or cry. She was trying her best to hold back her anger, and her face was ashen.
The daughter of a dignified prince is working for the sixth prince, so if things turn out like this, the sixth prince will not be considered a loss.
And the Su family may become a laughing stock.
The Queen Mother was still thinking about Xie Zhuohua. She was already tired after meeting her all day today. She waved her hand and said, "Don't stand here anymore. Go back to the room and have a cup of tea. Let's talk after the two of them wake up."
If something like this happens, the queen, as the master of the harem, will of course take care of it to the end.
Finally, he led a large group of people back to Kunning Palace in a hurry.
Such a big thing happened, and the palace was already crowded with people tonight, so the news spread quickly.
In comparison, what happened between Shen Qingran and Lu Yu seemed unsatisfactory.
The fourth prince returned to his palace to change clothes.
Shen Qingran was brought back to the side hall and placed in the side hall at the Queen's command, and the imperial doctor was ordered to come and see her.
She just choked on water, and the Fourth Prince treated her well, so she woke up quickly.
When the eldest lady helped the old lady in, she was in a daze with a pale face.
The eldest lady held her hand lovingly, "What's going on?"
Shen Qingran lowered his head in panic, and after a while he murmured, "Did I get into trouble?"
The eldest lady comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Although things are indeed not easy to handle, it is not desperate enough.
