"His Majesty."

The queen wanted to ask, but after a moment's hesitation she changed the subject, "How did Xing'er get to the West Garden?"

The emperor sat next to the empress, lowered his head and looked at Chen Luxing in the empress dowager's arms: "The little cabinet brought him there by the way."

Xiao Kezi mentioned Pingshun in his confession, but the emperor was afraid that the queen would become suspicious, so he did not elaborate.

The prince wanted to go to the West Garden, so he went out to find a small cabinet. He said that Ping Shun had told them to go first and he would come over after finishing his work.

"Slave, I thought the emperor was the one who dared to take the young prince to the West Garden with me," said the little cabinet.

In the peaceful confession, it was said that Xiaoqiang was leading the young prince out, and he happened to see him and asked more questions.

It was Xiaoguizi who said that he would take the little prince to play in the West Garden, and Pingshun would go there later. Pinghe thought he had nothing to do, so he followed.

"How could I know that the little prince is going to play on the ice? My father-in-law only said that he was going to the West Garden, but he didn't say that he was going to take the little prince to the West Garden for skating."

The little eunuch who found the square stool and the rope said that his father-in-law Ping He had asked him to find the stool and rope. He said that the little prince wanted to skate, so he wanted to find a rope to tie the stool and drag it around to make the little prince happy.

"The slave is from the Yuehua Palace, and Ping He went to the Yuehua Palace to find the stool and rope that the slave could borrow." The little eunuch cried in grievance.

The young eunuch who dragged the young prince into the water was also from Yuehua Palace. He said that when Ping and his father-in-law went to borrow ropes and stools, they called a few of them and told them that the young prince was going to play in the West Garden and asked them to accompany him.

"Eunuch Pinghe also said that the West Garden is very windy and it is close to the Yuehua Palace. If the little prince is thirsty and hungry, he will have to ask them to help him go to the Yuehua Palace to get it. The servant thought that it would be great to serve the prince.

Nothing happened, so I just followed without thinking too much."

In addition to the little cabinet from Taiji Palace and He Heping, the other three little eunuchs who were playing with the young prince by the lotus pond were all from Yuehua Palace.

This matter was brought to Yuehua Palace by the prince. If the prince had not been rescued by Lu Zhaoyi, Lu Zhaoyi of Yuehua Palace would have shed his skin this time.

The prince is now suffering from a high fever. As long as the prince is not well, Lu Zhaoyi of Yuehua Palace will not be able to escape suspicion.

Some people may ask why Lu Zhaoyi didn't go to the West Garden earlier or later. It was such a coincidence that she happened to go to the West Garden when the little prince fell into the water.

It's such a cold day. You don't even bring a cloak with you when you go out, and you have to ask the maid next to you to go back and get a cloak?

Three of the five little eunuchs who accompanied the young prince to play in the lotus pond were from Yuehua Palace. There was nothing fishy about it and no one believed it.

If Lu Zhaoyi had not been brought into the palace by Lu Xiangge to hide her from others, and if Lu Zhaoyi was really the emperor's woman, even the emperor would have been confused by a series of coincidences.

Yes, why is it such a coincidence?

The Emperor did not elaborate. The Queen Mother knew that Lu Qingluan was involved and did not ask any further questions.

Only the queen, thinking of the crying she heard just now and Lu Zhaoyi involved, felt upset in her heart.

If nothing happens to Xing'er this time, the matter will be handled by the emperor alone.

If something happens to Xing'er, she will definitely not let go of the person who wants to harm Xing'er. No matter who he is, she will not give up even if she loses her position as queen.

"Queen, do you have something to say?"

Lu Hebei noticed something was wrong with the queen's expression and said calmly, "I don't think this is an accident."

The queen did not expect that the emperor would be so direct and actually said it was not an accident. Doesn't that mean that the little prince's fall into the water was man-made? Then who is this person?

"Your Majesty." The queen raised her head, looked at the emperor with red and swollen eyes, and asked sadly, "Who is it? Who wants to harm our business?"

The queen didn't even notice that this time the emperor didn't call her Wanying, but called her queen.

"I will check."

Lu Hebei didn't want to say more, he just asked with concern, "You've been here with Xing'er all night. Will you cry if Ming'er doesn't see you?"

Since the queen gave birth to the little princess, the emperor has not stayed overnight. She almost held the little princess in the palm of her hand and loved her. The little princess refused to take milk from the nurse, so the queen fed her herself.

Chen Luxing was in the Tai Chi Hall. Except for visiting her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to say hello, and then following her to sit in the Queen Mother's hall, the rest of the time, he was either studying and literacy with the Taifu, or following the Emperor in the Tai Chi Hall.

She didn't need to worry about her son, so the queen put all her thoughts on the little princess.

At night, the little princess also slept with the queen. If the queen hadn't coaxed her while sleeping, she would have cried and stayed awake.

Hearing the emperor mention Chen Luming, the queen remembered that because she was worried about Chen Luxing, she came to Tai Chi Hall after receiving the news. During this half day and night, Ming'er didn't see her, and she didn't know if she would cry or not.

"Perhaps you are not crying." The Queen hesitated, "If you really start crying, the nanny will send someone to find me."

Even though she said that, the queen was still a little worried.

At this time, Chen Luxing had also recovered from his fever, and now he fell asleep again in the Empress Dowager's arms. The Empress wanted to go back to Jiaofang Hall to take a look.

If Ming'er cried, she could still coax her. Even if Ming'er didn't cry, she stayed here for half a night without washing or changing clothes. She stayed up all night again, and it didn't look good.

The emperor saw the queen's intention and said hurriedly: "The sky is getting clear now and the fever has subsided. Why don't you go back and take a look."

"Then, I'll go back and take a look."

The queen got up and saw the queen mother carefully placing the sleeping little prince back on the bed.

The Queen hesitated for a moment, but then she said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, you have been tired for the whole night. How about my wife go back with you to have a rest."

"No need, Aijia is not tired."

The Queen Mother gently covered the little prince with the brocade quilt, straightened up and said, "You should go back first. The Ai family is getting tired and will go back to rest."

"yes."

Gongsun Wanying did not dare to persuade her. She blessed the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and with the maids waiting on her, she put on a white fox cloak and left the Tai Chi Hall.

As soon as the queen went out, the queen mother's face darkened: "This matter must be investigated thoroughly. If anyone dares to take action, I will kill his whole family."

The emperor handed the hand stove in his hand to Eunuch Cheng, replaced it with a new hand stove, held it in his arms, and asked: "Mother, do you think this matter is related to someone?"

Neither the Queen nor the Gongsun family would attack the young prince. Even if they wanted to do something, they would not dare to take such a big risk.

There are only the Queen and Lu Zhaoyi in the palace now, and Lu Zhaoyi should not take action. She is Lu Shege's person, and she is not the real Zhaoyi.

When Lu Xiangge brought her into the palace, he had agreed with the Queen Mother that when she left the palace, he would take Lu Zhaoyi with him.

When the time comes, she will make Lu Zhaoyi a princess or county lord in the name of the emperor, and then find a good family to marry, which will be considered as repayment for her efforts in the palace over the years.

Lu Sheige said this to Lu Qingluan in person, and the little girl herself nodded.

There is no way she would be greedy for the nominal Zhaoyi identity and attack the little prince.

This matter won't do her any good at all.
