Unexpectedly, Hua Yueye came down personally to save her. This time, Su Qingwen was completely stunned.
The man's arm gently slid under her armpit. He reached back to protect her chest, firmly grasped her shoulder, and quickly swam with her towards the shore.
"Su Qingwen!" Hua Yueye carried her onto the shore and slapped her cheeks hard, his eyes fixed on her anxiously.
At that moment, Su Qingwen was extremely annoyed. What a mess! Did he want to kill her? She had planned to continue pretending to be weak, but seeing this situation, she decided to give it up. She felt like she was about to be beaten to death.
She "weakly" opened her eyes, covered her chest with her hand, coughed, looked up at Hua Yueye, and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, I was almost scared to death."
"How dare you say such things?" Concubine Ka opened her eyes wide. This was wrong. The plot wasn't going according to the script.
"Cough, cough, cough!" At this time, Concubine Fei over there, after being rescued by a group of maids and eunuchs, spat out a large mouthful of water and finally opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty, it was this vicious woman, Su Qingwen, who pushed my sister into the water. Look, my sister's face has turned so pale," Concubine Ka grabbed Concubine Fei's still weak body and pointed at her face, which looked like it had been soaked.
At first, when Concubine Fei went out, she had carefully put on makeup. After being soaked in water, it was all smeared. The rouge had dyed half of her face red, with patches of white and red, looking like a color palette. Also, her hair was wet and stuck together, making her look like a clown.
"No!" Tears welled up in Su Qingwen's eyes instantly. She leaned against Hua Yueye's chest and cried aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I wanted to push her, but look at her build. How could I possibly push her?"
This was the truth. Hua Yueye squinted and glanced at Concubine Fei on the opposite side. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth awkwardly and said, "What Concubine Xian said makes sense. With your weight, it would take several people to push you down."
"What?" No matter how much they had calculated, they hadn't expected this. Concubine Ka was almost speechless. Her face suddenly turned even darker.
At this moment, Hua Xue'er finally arrived late. She looked at this scene in surprise and immediately ran over. "Oh my god, what happened?"
"Princess, you're here. Please say something fair for me. Didn't Concubine Ka frame me and push me into the lake?" Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and winked desperately at Hua Xue'er.
"This..." She blinked her eyes, as if she understood something, and immediately nodded. She said to Hua Yueye, "Brother Emperor, I saw from afar just now that it was Concubine Fei who jumped in by herself. They originally wanted to frame Sister-in-law, but for some reason, Concubine Ka changed her mind and pushed Sister-in-law in too."
"You're lying!" Concubine Fei was so angry that the fat on her face was trembling. She suddenly stood up, as if she wanted to attack Hua Xue'er.
"Someone! Stop her!" Hua Yueye looked at the guards beside him unhappily. "Are you all dead? Let them act recklessly like this."
Concubine Ka slumped on the ground. This time, she had actually lost to that little bitch, Su Qingwen. She was really angry.
"Take them back to their own palaces and confine them for three months. They are not allowed to go out." After saying that, Hua Yueye pulled Su Qingwen up from the ground and hugged her in his arms.
[System: This is wrong. Why is the punishment so light?]
Actually, even without the system asking, Su Qingwen was also confused. She pursed her lips and was really unwilling.
"Brother Emperor, Sister-in-law is pregnant and has been bullied like this. Your punishment is too light. Shouldn't they be beaten with dozens of boards?" Hua Xue'er was straightforward and asked directly.
"Stop asking." Hua Yueye's face suddenly became very ugly. He glanced at her coldly, his face as black as if it could drip water.
Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and instinctively felt that he had some hidden troubles.
Anyway, she didn't ask any more questions.
After they got back, several maids surrounded her and wanted to help her take a bath, saying that they wanted to get rid of the cold in her body.
"Forget it. I'll do it myself. I don't want others to see me," Su Qingwen covered her chest with both hands and said with a blushing face.
Hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Hua Yueye's eyes. His dark eyes stared at her. "You were quite brave when you jumped into the water, but now you're so scared."
"What?" Su Qingwen stood there stunned, feeling as if her mind had exploded.
Hua Yueye gave her a meaningful look, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Hua Yueye: This stupid woman. Her use of the stratagem of feigning injury was so clumsy. With the brains of Concubine Fei and Concubine Ka, could they deceive him?
[System: Honey, from the current situation, it seems that Hua Yueye has seen through your lie.]
"But then why did he cooperate with me in acting just now? What's his purpose?" Su Qingwen scratched her head in confusion.
[System: Maybe it's because of love. Congratulations. You've captured the man's heart.]
"What the hell?" Su Qingwen plunged into the warm water. She felt dizzy and couldn't react to anything.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from afar.
Su Qingwen slowly opened her eyes and looked up.
"Lady Concubine Xian, this is the ginseng soup that His Majesty asked me to bring. Please drink some," a maid unexpectedly came in without permission in the steaming water.
Su Qingwen was startled and quickly hid her body deeper in the water. She glanced at the woman opposite awkwardly. "Okay, put it down. I'll drink it later."
"No. His Majesty said that this ginseng soup must be drunk while it's hot. He ordered this servant to make sure that you drink it," this maid was really persistent.
Hearing this, Su Qingwen suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. This woman was a bit strange. Why did she have to watch her?
[System: When something seems abnormal, there must be something fishy. Honey, the system is giving an alarm. Please pay attention immediately.]
Su Qingwen squinted her eyes and sized up the little maid in front of her. Then she hooked her finger. "Are you from my palace? You look a bit unfamiliar. Come closer and let me take a look!"
"This..." The maid lowered her eyes and tightened her fist bit by bit. Then she took small steps towards Su Qingwen.
Humph, look at her hesitant appearance. She must be up to no good.
They were all old foxes. How dare she play tricks on her? Fine. She would make this woman taste the feeling of regret!
