E Yinzhu had not expected this to happen, and had no time to reach out and grab Prince Qingyou. Prince Qingyou was not used to swimming, and he fell into the lake and kept struggling.

Princess Jingyu and the other little princesses were frightened by this scene and stood there in a daze. Princess Jingyu was a little flustered, but seeing the miserable appearance of Prince Qingyou falling into the water, she still said harsh words.

"See? This is what happens when you go against me! If you beg me for mercy, I will show mercy and find someone to save you. Otherwise, just stay in the mud! Jingyu Jingyun, let's go!"

E Yinzhu finally reacted and shouted for help: "Help! Help! Prince Qingyou has fallen into the water! Help!"

At this time, the maids who served Prince Qingyou also rushed over following the sound. Princess Jingyu and others also came to their senses and helped to call for help.

"Help! Someone fell into the water! Help!"

Soon, the patrolling guards arrived in time and rescued Prince Qingyou who was choked by the lake water. Together with the maids, they hurriedly sent Prince Qingyou to the hospital.

Hearing the noise, Ruyi and others also rushed to the scene, and E Yinzhu hurriedly told them what had happened.

When Balin Meiruo heard that it was her concubine who pushed Prince Qingyou into the lake, she immediately bit back, "What nonsense! Queen, my concubine Jingjuan is the most kindhearted, how could she do such a vicious thing? In my opinion, Prince Qingyou must have accidentally slipped and fell into the lake."

"In order to escape the blame, Concubine Yu pinned the blame on Jing Xuan! Queen, think about it, Jing Xuan is the same age as Crown Prince Qing You, and she's a girl. How could she have that much strength to push Crown Prince Qing You?"

"When we came here just now, didn't we hear Jingxuan calling for help for Prince Qingyou? Jingxuan, what happened? Tell the Queen Mother everything. The Queen Mother will definitely make the decision for us!"

Seeing the unconscious Prince Qingyou, Jingxuan finally felt scared and didn't dare to admit that she was the one who pushed Prince Qingyou down. After hearing what Concubine Ying said, she cried and lied to Ruyi.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, it wasn't me! It was Crown Prince Qingyou who lost his balance and fell!"

The crime of Prince Qingyou falling into the water was a serious one. Eyinzhu was already frightened, but she didn't expect that Balin Meiruo, in order to let her princess Jingxuan escape the blame, actually instigated Princess Jingxuan to lie in public!

E Yinzhu knew the status of Prince Qingyou in the emperor's mind, and she could not bear the responsibility for this negligence!

"She's lying! It was obvious that the Sixth Princess and Crown Prince Qingyou bumped into each other and had an argument, and during the argument the Sixth Princess pushed Crown Prince Qingyou! Not only the concubines, but even the three little princesses saw this! How could Concubine Ying instigate the Sixth Princess to lie in broad daylight?!"

The Sixth Princess refused to admit it and threatened the three little princesses Jingyu with her eyes to prevent them from telling the truth.

Balin Meiruo immediately turned the tables, "Your Majesty, when Concubine Ling was leaving for the Yangxin Palace, she asked Concubine Yu to look after the Seventh and Ninth Princesses. Just now when we were chatting in the Imperial Garden, it was Concubine Yu who took the initiative to look after the four princesses."

"Whether or not it was an argument between Crown Prince Qingyou and Jingju, it was because Concubine Yu failed to look after the princesses and princes that Crown Prince Qingyou fell into the water and got frightened! Queen, someone must be punished for this matter so that we can give an explanation to the Emperor and Princess Hejing!"

Hai Lan looked around and saw that except for the three young princesses, everyone else was theirs, and she suddenly had some ideas in her mind.

Hai Lan secretly tugged at Ruyi's sleeve, motioning for Ruyi to step aside to talk.

"Sister, Concubine Yu is Concubine Ling's person. She didn't take good care of the Seventh and Ninth Princesses, and frightened them. I'm sure Concubine Ling must be upset. Concubine Yu seems disrespectful to you, and she covets the position of empress. Now that everyone here is ours, we might as well prove her guilt of negligence. If we can instigate a relationship between her and Concubine Ling, that would be even better."

Ruyi understood what Hai Lan meant. This was indeed a good opportunity to remove the suspicion of Concubine Ying and the Sixth Princess, and to punish Concubine Ling and her group.

Ruyi asked, "Yu Fei, I and Noble Concubine Ling have entrusted the four princesses to your care. Why did you bring them to such a dangerous lake to play? Since you were by their side, how could you have allowed the Sixth Princess to have an argument with Prince Qingyou, causing Prince Qingyou to accidentally fall into the water?"

"Concubine Yu, you really failed Concubine Ling's trust! Someone, Concubine Yu is not taking good care of the princess and the prince, and you must put Concubine Yu under house arrest immediately!"

Rong Pei agreed and immediately asked Sanbao to take a few young eunuchs to escort Concubine Yu, who was struggling and crying out for justice, back to her own palace.

"I am not lying. It was the Sixth Princess who pushed Prince Qingyou! You all saw it, Seventh Princess, quickly help Empress Yu explain! Empress, you are deliberately favoring Concubine Ying and the Sixth Princess. I do not accept it! I want to see the Emperor. I want to see the Emperor! Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

"Balin Meiruo saw that Jingju was cleared of suspicion, and expressed her gratitude to Ruyi: "Thank you, Queen, for clearing my name and Jingju's name!"

Hai Lan knew that the matter was not over yet, so she reminded Ruyi, "Sister, Princess Hejing is still in the palace. We must first go to the Yangxin Palace to report Concubine Yu's crime of negligence."

Ruyi nodded and took people to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The Emperor, Yan Wan and Princess He Jing were chatting happily in the Yangxin Palace when Jin Zhong rushed in and reported: "Oh no, Your Majesty! Prince Qingyou fell into the water!"

Princess Hejing stood up in panic upon hearing the bad news and asked, "What happened to Qingyou? Tell me clearly!"

Jinzhong said: "Prince Qingyou was naughty and left the maid who was serving him to go to the lake to play. He happened to meet Concubine Yu and the four princesses who were also at the lake. Prince Qingyou and the Sixth Princess accidentally bumped into each other, and then somehow Prince Qingyou lost his footing and fell into the water!"

Princess Hejing was so anxious that she wanted to leave. "Why did he fall into the water? How is Qingyou? Has the imperial physician seen him?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and Yan Wan went to see Prince Qingyou together, while comforting Princess Hejing who was heartbroken and anxious.

Jinzhong said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, don't worry, Princess, luckily they rescued him in time, and Crown Prince Qingyou is fine! But the Seventh and Sixth Princesses were also frightened."

Yan Wan suddenly heard the news that Prince Qingyou fell into the water. She was wondering how Prince Qingyou could have fallen into the water. She was concentrating on comforting Princess Hejing and did not notice that her concubines Jingyu and Jingyun were also present.

When she heard Jinzhong say that Jingyu and Jingyun were also frightened, she immediately said to Jinzhong: "What, Jingyu and Jingyun were also frightened? Where are they? Let the imperial physician check their pulses!"
