Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

"Help!" Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, the flustered thin-tip choked on the water, ups and downs.The few people on the shore turned pale in panic, and looked at each other, no one thought that things would turn out like this.

Xiang Wanchun was also amazed at his bewilderment, but fortunately he regained consciousness in time, and shouted at Mulen and the others: "Go and save people!" It's a pity that the few who heard the words didn't move for a long time, and just stared blankly. A helpless look.

I don't know how deep the pool is, and the quality of the water is not good, otherwise Xiang Wanchun wouldn't be here staring at the people calling for help in the lake and worrying.Looking around, Xiang Wanchun secretly thought that this place was really badly chosen, and he couldn't even find a guard who could ask for help.Seeing that the lady-in-waiting who had already swallowed a few saliva moved slowly and strenuously to reach out her hand, Xiang Wanchun, who was screaming in her heart, didn't care about other things, and jumped into the water before she could take off her shoes.

The sound of splashing water brought the maids back to their senses, but they couldn't help at all, they just watched Xiang Wanchun struggling to swim towards the maid.Seeing the life-saving straw, the maid who fell into the water slapped the surface of the water and reached out to grab Xiang Wanchun.Seeing this appearance made Xiang Wanchun a little flustered, and blamed her for not thinking carefully at the beginning, and rushing into the water rashly without even thinking of a countermeasure to save her life.If they were caught at this moment, the two of them would definitely not be able to return to the shore. Xiang Wanchun froze and dared not swim any further.

Obviously already unable to do what he wanted, that person did not know where the strength came from, and he came here to rely on Juyou desperately.While dancing around, her hands unintentionally entangled Xiang Wanchun's sleeves floating on the water, and the court lady was overjoyed and tugged even harder.Xiang Wanchun, who was thinking about how to get close, was choked up unexpectedly, and then felt that his body sank heavily.Before she recovered, she coughed a few more mouthfuls of pool water.Without knowing when her hand was on Xiang Wanchun's shoulder, the palace maid subconsciously pressed and held her tightly in an attempt to float herself up.How could Xiang Wanchun have as much strength as hers?Powerless, I had to watch myself being pressed into the water.

Several people on the shore saw that something was wrong, and the more sober maid was about to call for someone to come over in a panic, not wanting a man dressed as an eunuch to rush from behind her and jump into the water.

It could be seen that the eunuch was a good swimmer, he swam neatly behind the maid, dragged her writhing body away from the struggling two, and then dragged her back to the shore.After a few people on the shore caught the maid who fell into the water and helped her to safety, the eunuch swam back and brought back Xiangwan Chunyou, who was choking, in the same way.

A reddish mark was scratched on his neck, Xiang Wanchun felt that he had escaped death, he didn't even bother to say thank you, and leaned against the side of the stone railing, his neck lifted and gasped for breath.When she regained her strength and wanted to thank the man, a sound of hurried footsteps dispelled her thoughts.

"...Bi Yue, what's the matter with you?" After seeing the face of the drenched man clearly, a low exclamation came from the visitor.

Looking up, she saw her master's anxious and anxious face, and the maid named Biyue called out with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master for your servant."

The concubine frowned uncontrollably when she heard it, but because of the inconvenience of the crowd, she decided on her own, so her eyes naturally fell on the queen in front.

When the queen came over, she saw this scene, and the three standing there were dripping with water all over their bodies, and they were all in a panic.Looking at the eunuch at the front, the queen asked, "What's going on?"

The eunuch replied respectfully: "Responding to the empress's words, the servant saw someone falling into the water, so he decided to go to the water to rescue him in a hurry."

The queen nodded, and then asked: "Why did you fall into the water?" Following the words, she looked at the two people who were drenched.

Hearing this, Biyue's teary eyes turned red and her voice hissed, she said pitifully: "Returning to the empress's words, I just came here with a few maidservants to see the fish swimming in the pond, I don't want to go to the pond just now Pushed into the water by Wan Chun. The slave girl thinks that she has not had an affair with Wan Chun, but she does not understand why Wan Chun put the slave girl in danger. Fortunately, the father-in-law Chengde rushed to rescue the slave girl in time, otherwise the slave girl would really drown Died here."

Hearing that she almost killed someone, Xiang Wanchun panicked immediately. She didn't mean it but was falsely accused of doing it on purpose. She wanted to refute but didn't care about Bi Yue's words that she almost drowned in the water, so the words she uttered became very special. Huffing: "Empress Empress, servant girl is not..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by others, and among the few people who came with Biyue, a court lady interjected: "Empress Empress, Biyue was pushed by her own hands, and all the servants have seen it."

The queen then asked, "But really?"

There is no need to entangle him in the matter of pushing him, she did drag him into the water with her own hands, Xiang Wanchun kept silent and seemed to admit it.She didn't want to answer, but she had to speak.Or afraid that Su Shuangran in the crowd would see her embarrassment at this time, Xiang Wanchun buried her head deeper and deeper.When those people saw it, they were more or less complacent, and they were waiting to see how the queen would behave.

"Then how did you fall into the water?" To the surprise of those few people, the Queen's tone was flat without any intention of punishment.

Fortunately, when the queen asked this question, it was not easy for Xiang Wanchun to reply: "The servant also went down to save talents."

"Oh?" The queen was slightly surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Since you pushed her into the water, why are you thinking of saving her?"

Xiang Wanchun hurriedly shook his head and explained: "It's not the empress, the servant really didn't mean to drag her into the water..."

"Empress, don't believe her words. She saw that Biyue was about to drown in the water, and she knew that the matter would become a big mess, so she had no choice but to jump into the water to save her. This slave bears witness with her own eyes," said the maid. Looking at the people around him, he gestured with his eyes.Those few people got the hint and started talking nonsense.

"Empress, the servants have also seen it. If it wasn't for Biyue's ignorance of water skills, she would definitely not bother."

"Yes, the slaves have seen it too."

……

The three of them became tigers, even if Xiang Wanchun was wronged, facing this kind of fabricated words at this time, she herself has no way to fight.At the right time, the concubine sighed in surprise and aggrieved and said to the queen: "My sister is panicked, I don't know what Biyue did to offend Sister Zhuang Concubine and make Sister Zhuang Concubine disregard the previous friendship with her sister Punish her like this."

The meaning in the words was too obvious, but the queen did not immediately question Su Shuangran, but said: "Maybe Kang Concubine's sister has misunderstood? After all, it is not uncommon for court ladies to have disputes in private."

Concubine Kang was naturally not happy to see the queen helping Su Shuang dye the field.Even though she felt aggrieved, she still spoke slowly: "My sister has thought about what the queen said, but just now Biyue also said that she has no grudges with others. From this point of view, it is too much for Wan Chun to act on her own without ordering her." It was too reckless and abrupt, my sister thinks it is unlikely."

"Sister Concubine Kang can't say that," Concubine An continued, "As my sister said, if Biyue pretended to fall into the water through Wan Chun, wouldn't she be entrusted by her sister? This is absolutely impossible. "

"Sister An Concubine is right," another concubine came along, seeming to persuade Concubine Kang, "Sister Concubine Kang, you really can't say that!"

Not to mention the beating of the palace maids who wanted to quibble, Kang Concubine's complexion also changed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but replied: "Sister also knows that I haven't been in the palace for a long time, and I don't understand many etiquettes in the palace. , I haven’t had time to visit all the sisters in the future, it’s natural for the sisters to think that the younger sister is rude, but the younger sister doesn’t want the older sisters to be unfair to the younger sister because of this care.”

Those words fell into Xiang Wanchun's ears word for word. She thought that she was the only one who was affected by this matter. She didn't want the matter to be blamed on Su Shuangran. This was something Xiang Wanchun never expected. She even I feel a bit regretful about the grasping at the beginning.If she was the one who fell into the water at that time, at most she would have suffered some losses at this time, and how could things that have subsided for a long time cause so many troubles?

"I would like to hear what Concubine Zhuang's sister has to say." When the queen said this, everyone turned their attention to Su Shuangran who had been silent for a long time.

Many of Concubine Kang's previous remarks were intended for the queen. She originally wanted to ask the queen to comment and reason. How could she have thought that the queen would give Su Shuangran a chance to refute it?Concubine Kang thought that her preemptive move was completely useless, and her complexion was even worse, but she didn't want to save the Queen's face, so she had to gather her thoughts and wait for Su Shuangran's answer before making plans.

Su Shuangran only spoke at this moment: "If the queen sister wants to hear my sister's argument, I am afraid that I will disappoint my sister. My sister dare not say too much about this matter. Whether my sister is arguing or refuting, she can't hide her desire I want to hide my responsibility for my son."

The queen felt that Su Shuangran's words were interesting, Zhuang Jing smiled: "I think that my sister's thinking like this is a big mistake, and she justified her doubts. My sister doesn't do anything about it, so I'm not afraid of being misunderstood?"

"What the empress sister said is that the younger sister Kang Concubine hopes that the empress elder sister will uphold justice, and the younger sister will not be able to speak again, so as not to be oppressed by her seniority. This is not a proper courtesy." Su Shuangran was generous and modest, but seemed healthy. Be careful.

When Concubine Kang saw Su Shuangran put on a haughty look, she felt extremely unhappy.Now Su Shuangran made her a target by Su Shuangran, she was even more annoyed.

"What are you doing!" Seeing that the momentum had changed, Concubine Kang was in a disadvantageous situation, and Concubine Hui, who had been silent for a long time, stood up to rescue others. She blamed the few people who spoke to the Queen just now, "It's just a trivial matter, why bother?" Annoying the Empress? Besides, it’s not easy for the Empress to ask you guys out to relax. She just wants to enhance the friendship between you and me at the right time, but now you are arguing over this trivial matter, which completely disappoints the empress’s good intentions!”

She thought she was unwilling in her heart, but she also knew that she shouldn't be brave at this time.Concubine Concubine Kang would not be ignorant and said, "My sister knows her mistake. I hope the sisters will forgive my sister for being eager to protect her maidservant. I am a little suspicious and overwhelmed."

"It's still Concubine Hui who knows the heart of the palace," the queen smiled, obviously unwilling to meddle in such nosy matters, and then said to the concubine behind her, "Okay, this is the end of the matter. If you are still interested, you can come Sit in Jinfu Palace."

Before walking, the queen said again: "You three don't stand still, go back to the palace and change your clothes."
