Chapter 205 Falling into the water
Chapter 205 Falling into the water
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has fallen into the water." The palace maid hurriedly ran into the Yutang Palace without informing anyone, but no one paid any attention to her.
Fu Mengli's hand trembled as she was playing the piano. The string cut a hole on her fingertip and blood oozed out, but she didn't notice it.
She stood up in a hurry and was about to leave the hall with her long hair loose and untied.
Qingxue, who was standing by, saw this and asked anxiously, "Where is the Fifth Prince now? What's the situation?" She hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wrapped Fu Mengli's injured fingertips.
Meihua quickly walked to the clothes rack, took down the rabbit fur cloak, and put it on Fu Mengli.
"To answer Aunt Qingxue's question, when the Fifth Prince fell into the water, he was rescued by the eunuch who followed him. Now the Fifth Prince is in the Pepper Room. When I arrived, the Empress had already sent someone to call the imperial physician."
"No need to tie up your hair, let's go to the Pepper Room now."
Fu Mengli immediately gave the order, then she tore off the handkerchief that was wrapped around her fingertips, strode out of the Yutang Hall with a cold face, and the palace servants and eunuchs behind her followed closely.
Although the Fifth Prince was a little naughty and often disturbed her life, Mingzhang was the blood connection between her and His Majesty, and she had gone through ten months of pregnancy and hardship before giving birth to the child.
"We talked as we walked. How could the Fifth Prince fall into the water when it's still so cold in spring?" Fu Mengli's voice trembled and was a little sharp. It was unclear whether it was because the weather was too cold or because she was too panicked.
She shouldn't have let Princess Hengshan take the fifth prince away. If something happened to the fifth prince, if something happened to him, Fu Mengli's heart was in suspense all the way, as if someone was grabbing her whole heart, and she was filled with uneasiness.
When she arrived at the Pepper Room, Fu Mengli ignored the palace servants and eunuchs in front of the palace gate. She simply stepped over the threshold and went straight into the Pepper Room.
Xiao Ji, who was waiting in front of the palace gate, saw Fu Mengli pass by her, so she immediately chased after him and said:
"Lady Zhipin, the Queen knows that you are anxious, so she told the palace servants not to stop you, and also asked me to wait for you in front of the palace gate and lead the way for you. Please follow me over here."
Xiaoji led the way, constantly soothing Fu Mengli's emotions, "Don't worry, Concubine Zhi, the imperial physician has examined the Fifth Prince, and there is nothing serious wrong with him. The imperial physician prescribed a dose of medicine to dispel the cold, and it is being boiled."
Fu Mengli ignored Xiaoji who kept talking. She didn't want to hear a word until she saw the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang.
When I opened the door, warm air hit me in the face. The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang was lying pitifully on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, with his wet winter clothes draped next to the fumigation cage with a blazing fire.
A palace maid was kneeling beside the bed, her clothes stained with fresh medicine juice, picking up the broken porcelain bowls.
The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang, who was lying on the bed, immediately burst into tears when he saw Fu Mengli coming.
"Mother, the Second Princess pushed me into the pond, and this palace maid even tried to force poison into me. Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I need to go back to Yutang Palace, mother."
As soon as Fu Mengli entered the room, she ran to the bed, hugged Qin Mingzhang and sobbed.
"Mingzhang, my mother, I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay." Fu Mengli finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the powerful cries of the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang.
"Empress Zhi, I am innocent. This is a cold-dispelling decoction prescribed by the imperial physician. It is not a poison." The palace maid avoided the first words of the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang and protested for her own innocence.
The palace maid ignored the reason why the fifth prince fell into the water, but Fu Mengli could not ignore it. She clenched her fists and asked patiently:
"Where is the Empress? Why can't I see the Empress? My fifth prince fell into the water in the Pepper Room, where is the Empress? I don't see Pu Jie here either? Is it because my fifth prince has a short life and is not worthy of the Empress's attention?"
Fu Mengli wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, burning with anger.
