Queen is fearless

Chapter 152 Inquiry
"It's fine, why did it fall into the water?" The queen mother leaned on the soft bed, frowning.

"I heard that Concubine Dong was there at that time, I wonder if it has something to do with her?" Nanny Liu was beside her and told the Queen Mother what she knew.

"Concubine Dong? The Ai family remembers that the daughter of the Dong family has always been quite sensible, how is she now?" Frowning even tighter, the queen mother asked again.

"Besides the empress, Concubine Dong also fell into the water. Because of this, the old servant is a little confused. What is going on?"

"It's just that Concubine Dong is awake right now, but Empress Empress seems to be still in a coma."

There wasn't much news from Yiyuan Hall, so that's all Mama Liu knew.

"Go to Yiyuan Hall to have a look." Hearing that the queen was unconscious, the queen mother was very worried and stood up from the soft couch.

Grandma Liu quickly responded, and asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, and accompanied the Empress Dowager to the Hall of Yiyuan.

"This concubine Dong...is nothing more than that..." Inside the Hundred Flowers Hall, Wen Xiuyuan stood in front of the window and looked out the window.

Behind her, the new Holly bowed her head, waiting for her command.

"Right now, how is the empress?" Before, she thought about using Concubine Dong, but now, she still has to rely on herself.

"Go back to your mother, the queen is still in a coma." Wen Xiuyuan already knew the news that Concubine Dong was awake.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad luck..." A schadenfreude smile floated on his lips. In this harem, the fewer high-ranking concubines, the better.

In this way, when I get the emperor's favor, I will have the opportunity to climb up again.

As for the queen... Wen Xiuyuan frowned, she wished that something would happen to the queen and kill two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, Director Yuan who is beside the Emperor is here." After returning to her residence, Concubine Dong immediately ordered hot water to be prepared for a bath.

At this moment, her hair has just been dried, and she also drank ginger soup.

Hearing the palace man's reply, her body couldn't help shaking, she quickly raised her head, and looked towards the entrance of the palace, "Please come in."

Barely suppressing the panic in her heart, Concubine Dong ordered that soon, Yuan Bao entered the hall and saluted Concubine Dong.

"I don't know that Manager Yuan is here, but is there something wrong?" Concubine Dong waved her hand and asked Yuan Bao to stand up.

"Returning to the empress, the servants are ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of the empress and the empress falling into the water. The servants have already finished interrogating, so I came here to find the empress to understand the situation."

No matter what happens next, right now, Concubine Dong is still Concubine Dong, and Yuan Bao's tone is as respectful as before.

"The Empress fell into the water with me, Director Yuan, did you ask the Empress?" She sent someone to inquire about the news from Yiyuan Hall, but she hasn't come back yet, so she has no idea.

"Your Majesty, don't you know? The Empress is in a coma and hasn't woken up yet." When Zhou Jing rescued Gu Jinzhi, she was in a coma. Concubine Dong was there at that time, so she saw it.

Yuan Bao's words made Concubine Dong's face pale.

"Of course I don't know what Director Yuan said. After all, I also fell into the water, so I have been busy since I came back."

The queen was still in a coma, which made Concubine Dong feel a strong sense of crisis.

Originally, when she heard that the emperor was going back to Yiyuan Hall from other places, she would pass by the lotus pond, and waited there specially, hoping to have a talk with the emperor, so that the emperor would have more sympathy for her with the old love.

Unexpectedly, the queen would appear and invite herself to enjoy the lotus together.

Looking at the queen's appearance, she seemed not to know that the emperor was coming back, so she had some schemes in her heart.

For example, when the emperor was expected to return, he pretended to fall into the water and blamed the queen.

After all, they were the only concubines of the emperor at the time, even if the empress was favored, there was no guarantee that they would not be jealous of others.

Even if the emperor believed her, as long as he sent someone to spread the rumors that the empress was jealous and killed the concubines, it would be of no benefit to her.

Up to now, she has no heirs, maybe when she returns to the capital, someone will mention the abolished empress.

If the queen is gone, depending on the status of her mother's family in the court, perhaps she may be able to reach that position.

But what she didn't expect was that the queen saw through her, and not only called out to herself at that moment, but also fell into the water together with herself.

Her water ability is still good, so after panicking, she quickly floated up. She was thinking about saving the queen who fell into the water. In this way, she could not only wash herself, but also make the queen speechless.

But she underestimated one thing, that was the queen's scheming, she seemed to know how to swim, and even pulled her legs towards the water in the pond.

When she was dragged towards the water, she panicked and choked up a few mouthfuls of water. She kicked her legs desperately, pulled her by her hand, and kicked her down.

Afterwards...she lost the opportunity, and also lost the chance, because the emperor came and he rescued the queen.

"Concubine Dong?" Seeing that Concubine Dong hadn't spoken for a long time and didn't know what she was thinking, Yuan Bao spoke and called her softly.

Immediately, Concubine Dong came back to her senses, looked up at Yuan Bao, "What do you want to ask me?"

"May I tell the servant what happened at that time?" Yuan Bao had a consistent smile on his face, but Concubine Dong knew that behind this smile was a chill, a chill that could be fatal.

"Didn't you ask the palace people to find out? What did they say?" Without opening her mouth immediately, she looked at Yuan Bao and asked him.

"What the servants said, you don't have to take it to heart, you just talk about what you have experienced."

Although the tone was respectful and there was a smile on his face, Yuan Bao was by the emperor's side after all, and Concubine Dong's majesty was nothing in front of him.

Unexpectedly, she hit a soft nail, Concubine Dong bit her lip, and then she opened her mouth, telling Yuan Bao what she had experienced and why she thought about it.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, the empress suddenly exclaimed and jumped into the lotus pond by herself?"

Suddenly interrupting Concubine Dong's words, Yuan Bao frowned slightly.

"What do you mean by that? Are you questioning Ben Gong? The fact is true, and Ben Gong doesn't know why the Queen called Ben Gong's name. Seeing her jumping, Ben Gong hurriedly grabbed her, that's why she followed and fell. went in."

From Concubine Dong's point of view, under the circumstances at that time, it was indeed the queen who jumped down by herself. As for the reason, it was nothing more than seeing through her own thoughts, but she couldn't say the reason.

"Concubine Dong, if you tell the emperor this, I'm afraid the emperor won't believe it. The empress doesn't know how to swim, so how can she jump into the lotus pond by herself?"

After listening to Concubine Dong's words, Yuan Bao said again, let alone the emperor, he wouldn't believe it.

"This...probably bengong didn't express clearly. It should be that the grass beside the lotus pond is too slippery, so the empress slipped under her feet, and she accidentally fell into it."

"Ben Gong was there at the time, and the empress happened to see Ben Gong, so she called out my name, and Ben Gong subconsciously wanted to save the empress, but fell into it too..."
