Chapter 366 She's been blocking it
All eyes in the audience were immediately focused on Song Miaomiao.

"She woke up! She was saved!" Niu Niu said excitedly.

She felt that there was no better news than that her friend was safe.

Song Miaomiao spat out a few mouthfuls of water, but she was still very weak. Yan Cao carefully put her down.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager had noticed Yan Cao's strange behavior before and felt it was very disgraceful, but Song Miaomiao was wet all over and had opened her eyes, so they vaguely knew what was going on.

"The person has been rescued! You two little girls are quite resourceful!" Concubine Xian took the initiative to take credit for the two of them.

Although Qin Jingshu also hoped that she could be as popular as Niuniu, she still took the initiative to say, "It was Niuniu who came up with this idea. Niuniu is so smart!"

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor looked at Niu Niu approvingly.

"I heard that something happened at Qianli Pond, but I don't know what exactly happened," said the Queen Mother.

Niuniu explained, "Grandma Queen Mother, Jingshu and I made an appointment with Sister Miaomiao to meet here. When we got here, she was floating in the pool, and the beauty kite also fell into the water!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she thought to herself that he was indeed a child. At this time when human lives were at stake, he was still thinking about the beautiful kite.

"Sister Yancao can swim. She is so powerful. She went down and rescued the person!" said Niu Niu.

The Queen Mother looked at Yan Cao. She remembered this child. She was a little palace maid in Shoukang Palace. She made the small schoolbag for Niu Niu with great care, so she was arranged to take care of Niu Niu.

Facing her master's questioning eyes, Yan Cao said, "When I fished Miss Song out, she was already unconscious and breathing weakly. It was Niuniu who came up with the idea and asked me to hang her upside down on my back, and that's how I saved Miss Song."

The Queen Mother nodded. Yan Cao was very eloquent and explained the matter clearly.

Xian Fei took the opportunity to say, "Luckily you rescued the girl. Otherwise, if the Imperial Concubine had put on an indecent hat to stop you from rescuing her, I'm afraid the girl would have gone to see the King of Hell by now."

The virtuous concubine's finishing move made everyone's attention fall on the imperial concubine.

Concubine Li immediately said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have never seen such a way to save people. It was my short-sightedness that almost caused someone's death."

After hearing this, the emperor did not think much about it, but asked Niuniu: "My dear, how do you know this method can save people?"

Niuniu tilted her head and explained, "Daddy taught me this. This is a country folk method. I thought everyone knew it."

The emperor smiled and said, "I really didn't know there was such a way to save a drowning person. Niuniu, you saved a life today. You are really an amazing girl."

After being praised, Niu Niu couldn't help but proudly puff out her belly.

Concubine Li took advantage of no one's attention and quietly hid behind.

Xian Fei also praised: "Niuniu is really a lucky star. It's rare that she not only knows how to save people, but also has a sense of responsibility. When faced with the imperial concubine's obstruction, she always said that she would take the responsibility. No wonder the queen mother likes her so much."

Concubine Xian tried several times to bring the topic to Concubine Li.

The emperor was somewhat displeased and asked, "Why did the little girl from the Song family fall into the Thousand Carp Pond for no reason? Where are the palace servants who were responsible for serving her?"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Song Miaomiao.

Although Song Miaomiao spat out the pool water she had swallowed, her eyes were still closed and her face was pale.

Wangpin, who was in charge of taking care of Song Miaomiao, received the news later than others. She rushed over at this time and was shocked to see Song Miaomiao in such a state. "Your Majesty, although this child has been rescued, she still looks very weak. Why don't you wait until she recovers before asking her the reason?" Wangpin looked at Song Miaomiao with a distressed face.

Concubine Wang guessed that Song Miaomiao fell into the water because she was too playful, and she was afraid that she would be punished by the emperor and the empress dowager for this reason and get a bad reputation as a playful person.

The reason why she thought so was simple. First, Song Miaomiao was always naughty and liked to run around without the servants. Second, she didn't think that others would harm a little girl of a few years old for no reason.

When Concubine Li heard this, she felt relieved and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Wangpin is right. The child's health is the most important thing now."

The emperor was about to nod when he suddenly saw Song Miaomiao open her eyes, raise her hand and point at Concubine Li.

Everyone present suddenly changed their expressions.

"She...she...hurt me..." Song Miaomiao's voice was weak but extremely firm.

Concubine Wang looked at the imperial concubine in disbelief.

Imperial Concubine Li immediately said, "Nonsense! How could it be that I pushed you into the water? Even if you have water in your brain, you can't just make random accusations!"

Niuniu said with a puzzled look on her face: "My Lady, Miaomiao said that you harmed her, maybe it was because you kept stopping me from saving her. Why do you think she was talking about pushing someone into the water?"

Xian Fei quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, you are admitting your guilt by saying this."

The moment Song Miaomiao opened her mouth, the Queen Mother had already believed it completely and thought that it must be the Imperial Concubine who did this evil thing.

As Song Miaomiao's adoptive mother, Wangpin had been lonely in the palace for more than ten years. She finally had a child, and even though it was not her own, she still spoiled the child like a treasure. At this time, she asked Miaomiao again: "Did the imperial concubine really push you into the water?"

Song Miaomiao nodded and said, "It was...it was...the palace maid...who was talking to...the imperial concubine...who did it..."

After Song Miaomiao said this, all her strength seemed to be exhausted. When Wang Pin saw her like this, her heart was in a knot.

"Good boy, don't worry, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely stand up for you and will not let go of those who harmed you." Concubine Wang said loudly.

Even though the emperor still had feelings for Concubine Li, he still remembered the dozen lives she had on her hands. He had no doubt that the concubine would do such a thing.

Concubine Li immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Why would I harm a child? Children love to lie. Their words cannot be trusted!"

The emperor couldn't understand why the imperial concubine attacked Song Miaomiao: "Little Miss Song, tell me, why did that palace maid push you into the water?"

Song Miaomiao shook her head: "I... I was hiding in the rockery... preparing to scare Niuniu and Jingshu... I heard someone talking outside... but I couldn't hear it clearly... I... I wanted to get closer... and then I was... thrown into the water..."

Song Miaomiao spoke intermittently. She had to gasp for breath after every sentence and looked in poor condition.

The imperial concubine suddenly felt regretful. If she had known that the girl didn't hear it, why would she have had to do it?

"Your Majesty, you heard it too. This child couldn't even explain why she fell into the water. How can you take her words seriously?"

When Song Miaomiao heard this, her eyes widened in anger.

Concubine Li continued, "Your Majesty, if it was really me who did this wrong, how could I dare to return here? Am I not afraid of being caught red-handed? Why would I come here to help?"

When the emperor heard this, he did not say anything, but still stared at the concubine with a scrutinizing look.

Niuniu was at a side, bewildered by the confusing conversation, and asked, "If you didn't hear it, then it wasn't the Imperial Concubine's fault? What did the Imperial Concubine do to help? Didn't she try to stop us from saving Miaomiao?"
