After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 228 Falling into the water!

Lian Xiang lowered her head, thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe it was because the ground was slippery after the snow, and He Xiang accidentally slipped and fell into the pool."

Qi Wuyou shook his head, always feeling that things were not that simple.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Lianxiang: "No, I have to go see what happened to Hexiang!"

Lian Xiang quickly stopped Qi Wu You and said, "My Lady, He Xiang is still ill. It would be bad if she accidentally passed her illness to you."

Qi Wuyou frowned and looked at Lianxiang: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Lianxiang was startled, but soon returned to normal, and asked in confusion, "Madam, what are you talking about?"

Qi Wuyou pouted and asked seriously, "It was so cold and the ice on the pond was so thick, how did He Xiang fall in?"

Lian Xiang pursed her lips, thought for a moment and then replied, "Maybe He Xiang slipped and accidentally broke the ice."

Qi Wuyou continued to ask: "Then why didn't you let me go to see her? She is my personal maid, and as the queen, it is my duty to visit her."

Lianxiang still insisted not to let her go, and persuaded her: "But we are still at the palace banquet, it might not be appropriate for you to leave suddenly, right?"

Qi Wuyou was speechless for a moment. After all, she was the queen. It seemed inappropriate if she abandoned this large group of people just because of He Xiang.

Seeing Qi Wuyou beginning to hesitate, Lianxiang struck while the iron was hot and suggested: "How about this, tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to see Hexiang, okay?"

Helplessly, Qi Wuyou sighed softly, then nodded slowly to show that he agreed.

However, she did not notice that Lianxiang, who was standing next to her, had a peculiarly profound look in her eyes, and she looked at Liu He who was next to Xuan Yelan without saying a word.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Qi Wuyou couldn't wait to get out of bed and go look for He Xiang.

This time, Lianxiang unexpectedly kept her promise and did not stop Qi Wuyou. She even took the initiative to help Qi Wuyou put on a thick cloak. After all, it was still cold in the early morning.

When Qi Wuyou gently pushed open the door, a warm and moist air hit his face.

She looked carefully and saw He Xiang lying quietly on the bed, her face as pale as a piece of white paper, fine cold sweat constantly coming out of her forehead, and her lips were slightly purple. It was obvious that she was in very poor health.

Qi Wuyou sat beside the bed distressed, holding He Xiang's hand tightly, and asked gently: "He Xiang, how do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

He Xiang slowly opened her eyes, stared at Qi Wuyou, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she replied softly: "My queen, you are here... I am much better now, but I have a headache."

Qi Wuyou hurriedly stopped He Xiang from trying to get up and said softly, "Since you still feel uncomfortable, there is no need to force yourself to get up."

He Xiang nodded slightly and coughed lightly from time to time.

Seeing this, Lian Xiang said to Qi Wu You, "Since He Xiang is still sick, let's leave and let her have a good rest."

Hearing this, Qi Wuyou turned to look at He Xiang, who looked pale and tired, then nodded and said softly, "Okay, but He Xiang, you must take the medicine obediently. I hope you can recover soon."

He Xiang smiled and nodded, waved to Qi Wuyou, and said goodbye to the two of them.

Qi Wuyou was full of doubts. Ever since He Xiang fell into the ice hole and fell into the water last time, she always felt that something was wrong.

Today, she decided to go back to the pool again to find out.

When he came to the pool, Qi Wuyou saw that the cracked ice hole that day had been frozen again and was covered with a thick layer of ice.

She couldn't help but frown and thought: This ice looks so solid, how did He Xiang fall down?

Qi Wuyou couldn't help but stick his head out to check, trying to find some clues.

Seeing this, Lianxiang quickly pulled her back and said anxiously, "My lady, it's too dangerous, don't get close!"

However, Qi Wuyou was determined. He pushed Lianxiang's hand away and insisted on going forward to check it out himself.

She stepped onto the ice carefully, taking every step with extreme caution.

Qi Wuyou stamped his feet lightly, trying to feel if there was anything unusual under the ice, but the ice was surprisingly hard.

She frowned and whispered to herself, "The ice here is so thick, how could He Xiang fall in so easily? Was it not an accident that day? Was it someone who did it on purpose?"

Qi Wuyou thought to himself: Why is this happening?

He Xiang was just a little palace maid who knew a little bit of martial arts. Who would go to such great lengths to harm her?

At this moment, Qi Wuyou suddenly remembered what Mei Xue had told her before.

"He Xiang is sick. I wanted to go visit her, but Lian Xiang stopped me from going in. I asked her if she had asked the imperial physician to see her, but she was vague."

The more Qi Wuyou thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. If they didn't allow him to go because they were afraid that the cold would be contagious, that would be fine, but why didn't they even allow Mei Xue to go?

While Qi Wuyou was thinking, she suddenly heard a slight sound. She was startled and turned back to check, but she didn't find anything unusual.

She stopped and listened, but the sound disappeared again.

Qi Wuyou felt a little nervous. She looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing.

Lianxiang, who was standing on the shore, shouted anxiously, "My queen, please come back soon!"

Although she said so, Lianxiang did not dare to move forward easily. After all, if the ice really cracked, it would not matter if she fell down. The key was not to implicate the Empress.

Qi Wuyou wanted to go back, but just as she took a step, the ice under her feet suddenly broke and she fell into the freezing water.

"Empress!" As Lianxiang cried out in fear, Qi Wuyou's body was quickly submerged in cold water.

The biting cold suddenly hit her like a tide, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She struggled desperately, but her body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead and kept sinking.

Just when she felt she was about to lose consciousness, a pair of strong arms hugged her tightly and pulled her out of the water.

Xuan Yelan carried Qi Wuyou ashore, then anxiously brought him back to the main hall and entered the bedroom.

"Go and prepare hot water quickly and call the imperial physician!" He anxiously instructed the palace maids and eunuchs around him.

"Your Majesty," Lianxiang carefully took the clothes that were always provided in Fengyi Palace, "Please go change your clothes first. Your Majesty is here and I have a servant to watch over her."

Xuan Yelan nodded, took the clothes handed to him by Lianxiang, turned and went to the side hall.

Qi Wuyou was shivering with cold, his lips were pale and his face looked very ugly.

With trembling fingers, she took the ginger soup brought by Lianxiang and drank it in one gulp, but her body still couldn't stop shivering.

"Go and prepare hot water for a bath!" Lianxiang shouted anxiously.
