Chapter 116

Putting down the account book at hand, Gu Jingchan looked at Lu Xiao, who had been standing beside her for a long time, and saw that she looked anxious and seemed to have something to say, so she sighed softly and said, "When did it happen? But is there any news? "

Lu Xiao looked at Gu Jingchan, hesitating whether to speak out, after all, this matter did not have much to do with the task assigned to her by the empress, but every time she saw her, she was frightened, so it was better to speak out, otherwise I was so scared to death, what should I do if something happened?So he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is not considered to have any news, nor is it a complaint, but... for seven days in a row, the princess brought a few small ones, playing and frolicking by the edge of Lengxin Lake every day. Prince Forget it, the fourth princess has just been able to leave, what should I do if I fall down... Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Gu Jingchan was calm at first, but after hearing this, she couldn't bear to be angry and said, "It's been seven days? Why are you saying it now? Is Lengxin Lake a place where these children can play? What are the servants doing?" What to eat? Why didn’t anyone come to report?”

Lu Xiao hesitated and whispered: "No, ma'am, this is His Majesty's acquiescence. His Majesty said that it's okay for the children to make a fuss, don't mess with the rules, but have fun..."

After hearing this, Gu Jingchan almost didn't die of anger.This Chu Mingyou said a few days ago that he spoiled his children, but now he has spoiled them all?He frowned and said, "Let's go to Lengxin Lake, I don't believe it, I can't control a few children!"

Although it is summer now, the legs and feet of the little ones are still weak. If one of them falls, the mud in the Lengxin Lake will not be able to come up, which is really too dangerous.The same goes for Chu Mingyou, even if the children are allowed to play, they can't play out of the circle!
When Gu Jingchan came out of Yuqing Palace, she suddenly stopped, called Lu Xiao and asked, "Wait, did you just say that the princess brought a few children to play by the Lengxin Lake? Is it the second princess Jinxuan?"

When Lu Xiao heard Gu Jingchan's question, she nodded and said, "It's the second princess. Madam, let's..."

Gu Jingchan frowned, Jinxuan, it turned out to be Jinxuan.It shouldn't be, she is not the kind of person who will take a few children to dangerous places.Isn't she a real kid?No... Could it be that there is some calculation?Gu Jingchan's palms were sweating, she didn't know if her guess was correct, but she couldn't help but quicken her steps, praying secretly in her heart, this matter must not be true, if it is, then it is really terrible.

It's too late to prove in my mind whether what I think is absurd, but if it's true, the consequences will be unimaginable.Jinxuan, she must have something to hide from herself, the truth is definitely not as simple as she said at the beginning.Gu Jingchan frowned, she clenched her fingers tightly, she couldn't guarantee that if something happened to the child, she would let Jinxuan go.

Although there was strong uneasiness in her heart, Gu Jingchan hurried on, and when she arrived at Lengxin Lake, something happened.The court ladies and eunuchs formed a circle by the edge of Lengxin Lake, seeming to be discussing something.Gu Jingchan groaned inwardly, and immediately quickened her pace. When the maids and eunuchs saw her coming, they all took the initiative to get out of the way. After all, this matter is really serious, and someone still needs to preside over it.

Gu Jingchan looked at where the children were crying, and there was not one missing, while Jinxin's face was pale, with disbelief in her eyes, and Jinxuan's expression was meaningless, looking too calm.

Instead of wasting time on a few children, Gu Jingchan asked directly: "What happened? Hurry up and report!"

Hearing this, a panicked and anxious court lady just knelt down, kowtowed to Gu Jingchan and said, "I beg you, my concubine, please save me quickly, she fell into the lake."

Gu Jingchan's eyes widened. The water in the Lengxin Lake is extremely cold in midsummer, and she fell in... "How long has it been since the fall of Defei? Why haven't you been rescued yet?"

"Hui Niangniang, we are rescued, but Empress Defei has already dropped half a cup of tea, this is probably..." The head of the guards glanced at Gu Jingchan, hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say.

Gu Jingchan raised her eyes and said, "Can't find it? But I'm worried that the water is very cold, so you dare not dive deep? Look for it, you must find it."

Lengxin Lake is the largest lake in Dachen Palace, if you fall into it alone, you may not be able to find it for a while.Just looking forward to finding it.

"Did you report it to His Majesty? Did you notify the Empress Dowager? Send the imperial doctor over!" After Gu Jingchan finished speaking, seeing that no one moved, she said sharply, "Why don't you go soon? Are you waiting for me to go in person?"

Gu Jingchan was very anxious in her heart, she looked at the children again, called them over and checked them one by one, and found that the children were not injured, but the youngest fourth princess was a little scratched, Chu Wenye looked at Jinxuan angrily, If Gu Jingchan had doubts in her heart, that conjecture was slightly confirmed.

"Fourth girl, come here and ask the concubine mother to see if her arm still hurts? Why did she get hurt?" Gu Jingchan likes her daughter, and the status of the fourth princess' concubine's biological mother is too low. After having her, she is the only one to change clothes.And since he was born, he took the child to Zhan Luanxi to raise him, so Gu Jingchan is still willing to get close to her.

My sister's clear and bright eyes were full of fear and horror, and after hearing Gu Jingchan's words, she suddenly groaned bitterly.Her voice made Gu Jingchan feel a little bored, she hugged her and patted her and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong, tell my concubine!"

My concubine cried miserably, her small body kept shaking, and Gu Jingchan was at a loss for what to do.She has raised two children, but both of them are boys, no matter how spoiled she is, she won't cry so sadly like a girl, it hurts her heart so much.The cries of the concubine made Gu Jingchan feel very sad, she patted her on the shoulder and asked her to sit on her lap, and kept wiping her tears.And my concubine kept crying, crying all the time, but didn't say a word about anything else.

Gu Jingchan was a little helpless, and said directly to the servants: "Go and invite the concubine Ming over here, don't you see that the fourth princess is wronged?"

After scolding the servants, she had no choice but to continue to comfort her concubine, and said in a gentle tone: "Don't drop the golden beans, what's the matter, can you talk to the mother and concubine later?"

The concubine just grabbed the corner of Gu Jingchan's clothes without saying a word, she no longer made a sound, but shed tears drop by drop.It's just that it makes Gu Jingchan feel even more distressed.

As for the scene of Gu Jingchan comforting her concubine, Jinxin saw it and got angry.From her point of view, she was far away from her concubine, but why, after the accident, Gu Jingchan would be close to her concubine, and Jinxin was particularly unwilling.I miss Queen Ji more and more in my heart.

Not long after Chu Mingyou arrived, Concubine De was still brought up and had lost her breath.Seeing the bright and beautiful woman, now with a pale complexion and a wet body, it really makes people feel sad and regretful.

Chu Mingyou also had some affection for Concubine De. This woman who had been with him for so many years left suddenly, and Chu Mingyou was reluctant to part with it.Looking at the horrified and worried palace people, they said coldly: "What do you people eat? How dare you want Concubine De to fall into the water? Why didn't you protect your empress well? Useless things, come here, All killed!"

Looking at Chu Mingyou's appearance, Gu Jingchan felt bad, held his hand and said, "Calm down, ask carefully, what happened, and then deal with it, these slaves are to blame for their ineffective protection of the master." Punishment, but definitely not to the extent of being executed with a stick, don't let anger disturb your mind."

After hearing Gu Jingchan's words, Chu Mingyou stared at her for a long time, then nodded and said, "Let's spare your lives, take Concubine De to Nuanyu Palace for resettlement, and suppress these slaves to Qinzheng Hall. Interrogate yourself."

All the servants breathed a sigh of relief and patted their chests, but the faces of the palace servants who were beside them at first were all pale.After all, if His Majesty knew about this matter, they would not escape death.

Gu Jingchan took a look at Jinxuan, and Gu Jingchan didn't understand the expression on her face.That kind of fearlessness seems to see everything away, she is not afraid of everything, this kind of feeling makes Gu Jingchan feel uneasy in her heart, what is she thinking?Gu Jingchan didn't know that this kind of feeling made Gu Jingchan uncomfortable.

And Chu Mingyou's shock was really not small at all, and the servants had already made it clear.Concubine De fell into trouble because she saved the concubine of the fourth princess, and the concubine was only affected by Wen Ye.Concubine De wanted to rescue her son when she saw her son was in danger, but because her concubine was weak and walking unsteadily, she almost fell into the water. If it wasn't for Concubine De, it must be concubine who died today.

My concubine stopped crying in Zhan Luanxi's arms, but she was comforted by her mother, but she held on to Zhan Luanxi's sleeves more and more. She had no choice but to hug her. Gu Jingchan turned her head and could see that the girl was still there She shed tears, but the tears had flowed into Zhan Luanxi's clothes drop by drop, and outsiders didn't know that's all.Gu Jingchan sighed softly, this child is really strong enough, except for the first moment, he never cried.

Seeing Chu Mingyou getting more and more angry, Gu Jingchan closed her eyes slightly, she was praying now, what she was thinking in her heart did not match the facts, otherwise how could Chu Mingyou accept it.

After hearing the news, Chu Mingyou was extremely angry.Facing my concubine and Wen Ye's servants, he said angrily: "What do you think of the little master? Why do you want them to be in danger?"

After hearing this, the concubine's nanny knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, the slaves and others are really wronged. It's not that the slaves don't want to take care of the little princess and the little prince. It's just that the second princess said she can take care of them. Don't Slaves and others come forward! I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, begging Your Majesty to be merciful."

Chu Mingyou became even angrier when he heard this, picked up the tea cup and smashed it and said, "You mean my second daughter is going to kill her sister and younger brother? You dog slave, how dare you harm the Lord? Do you think that the noble concubine just now Can I save you from dying if I intercede with you? Someone..."

"No, father, what she said is not wrong, this is indeed what my daughter ordered." Jin Xuan said.

After hearing Jinxuan's words, Gu Jingchan was stunned. Gu Jingchan didn't understand what she was going to do.It's just that the uneasiness in my heart has faintly increased.
