A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Concubine Qing was temporarily in charge of the harem. When she heard that there was a fire in Lingxiao Palace and the third prince was unconscious, she hurried to Lingxiao Palace to visit him.

"Your Majesty, is Chenyi okay?" Concubine Qing asked with a worried look on her face.

Xiao Rui said calmly, "Doctor Chen has already prepared some medicine and had someone feed it to Chen Yi. He should wake up in a while."

After hearing this, Concubine Qing stroked her chest and said, "That's good, that's good. As long as no one is safe, it's good. But why did the fire start out of nowhere? It's really scary."

Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully, "I will investigate this matter further."

Concubine Qing nodded and said, "Well, it's always reassuring to check. If it's an accident, it's fine, but if it's man-made, it's terrifying to think about it..."

What Concubine Qing said was exactly what Xiao Rui was thinking.

Xiao Rui said, "I know, you don't have to worry about these things. Take good care of Chen Yi for me in the next few days."

After hearing this, Concubine Qing said in surprise, "That's exactly what I was thinking. If Chen Yi had a mother to take care of him, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble like today."

"It just so happens that Chenxi is also being raised by me, and they are siblings. If I take care of Chenyi, the two children can get closer."

Xiao Rui said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

As he spoke, Chen Yi also woke up.

"Father, Empress Qing, you are here? Hey, this is not my room!" Chen Yi looked around.

Concubine Qing walked to Chen Yi's side, touched Chen Yi's head and said, "You have been unconscious for too long, kid, you have forgotten that your room was flooded. Fortunately, you were rescued. Your father and I were very worried."

Chen Yi sat up and said gratefully, "I am sorry that you made your father and Queen Qing worried. It is my fault."

Concubine Qing looked back at the emperor and said with pity in her eyes, "Chen Yi is such a sensible child that it makes me feel distressed..."

Xiao Rui asked, "Chen Yi, how do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

Chen Yi said, "Reporting to the Emperor, I am fine, but I am a little thirsty..."

After hearing this, Concubine Qing hurriedly said to the servants, "Quick! Come, bring some water! Look, we are so happy to see Chen Yi wake up that we forgot everything."

Xiao Rui also smiled and said, "Yes! Someone come and get some water."

The palace servants poured water for Chen Yi. After Chen Yi drank several cups in succession, he immediately felt much better.

Chen Yi wiped his mouth and said, "Father, I am fine!"

Xiao Rui patted Chen Yi's shoulder and said, "Father is relieved that you are okay."

"By the way, do you know why your room caught fire for no reason?"

Chen Yi shook his head and denied, "Father, I don't know. I was reviewing my lessons in my room. I don't know why the fire suddenly started. I didn't do anything..."

Xiao Rui asked, "Good boy, are you scared?"

Chen Yi replied, "I am not afraid. I was so anxious that I wet my clothes, thinking that I would not be burned by the fire. However, the smoke in the room was so thick that I lost consciousness before I knew it."

Xiao Rui looked at the child in front of him with relief. "You are very smart. I will definitely investigate the origin of this fire for you and will not let you suffer in vain."

Chen Yi said, "Thank you very much, father. I am sorry to trouble you." Then he frowned.

Concubine Qing said gently, "Chen Yi is a good and sensible child, and knows how to sympathize with your father's hard work."

"But as a father, he doesn't want his son to be hurt, so he wants to thoroughly investigate the cause of this incident for you. You should not feel guilty. You should understand that this is your father's love for you and the responsibility a father should have."

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Yes! Thank you very much, Madam Qing, for your teachings!"

Xiao Rui watched how Concubine Qing was caring and considerate towards Chen Yi, and also watched how the two of them were getting along with each other in a respectful and peaceful manner.

After such a big thing, Xiao Rui thought about whether he should find a foster mother for Chen Yi to take good care of him. No matter how mature and steady he is, he is still just a child.

Afternoon

The queen was taken to the Yangxin Palace, and her maid Bihu was also brought there.

Xiao Rui sat on the dragon throne, watching the queen being brought over, raised his eyes and said, "Tell me! Why did you sneak out? As the queen, you still flaunted yourself in the clothes of a palace maid."

The Queen stared at Xiao Rui and replied, "Your Majesty, please think of my motherly love. I am really worried about Chen Yu's whereabouts, so I chose this way to visit him secretly."

Xiao Rui continued to ask, "Do you want to set fire to Chen Yi's room because you miss Chen Yu?"

After hearing this, the queen widened her eyes and said innocently, "Why does your Majesty say that? I have never done that!"

Xiao Rui sneered, "You're still saying no? If there was no fire, why did a fire start when you went to Lingxiao Palace?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "I really don't know. I also want to know why there was a fire there. I am also afraid that the fire will burn Chen Yu!"

"Stubborn!" Xiao Rui spat out four words.

Seeing that the emperor did not believe her, the queen tried hard to explain, "I really don't know! I can swear to heaven that I have never done such a thing!"

Xiao Rui was furious and said, "I really hope it wasn't you who did it. You are the queen who rules the country, how could you do such a murderous thing!"

The emperor suddenly yelled and the queen was unable to react.

The Queen said in confusion, "Why is Your Majesty holding on to me? I will not confess to anything I have not done."

"I sneaked out of the palace. It was my fault. I am willing to be punished. But if Your Majesty says that I killed someone or set a fire, I have never done it and I will never admit my guilt!"

The Queen spoke every word with an extremely sincere tone, and looked at the Emperor neither humbly nor arrogantly, without any timidity or guilt.

When the emperor saw the queen like this, a trace of doubt and hesitation flashed across his face.

At this moment, Bihu, who was standing nearby, ran out and said, "My queen, just confess!"

Bihu's sudden words made the emperor and the queen look confused, no one expected it.

The queen looked at Bihu in disbelief. "Bihu! What are you talking about? Are you out of your mind? Are you crazy?"

Bihu said in embarrassment, "Madam, I really can't stand it anymore... You should confess the arson..."

After hearing this, the Queen stared at Bihu and cursed, "Bitch! I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you asking me to confess?"
