The Ninth Prince seemed to be afraid of the imperial concubine, so he immediately stepped aside and remained silent.

The fourth prince said: "Ninth brother is joking too much. Miss Xue family choked on her water. I need to trouble my concubine to call the imperial doctor."

The eldest lady was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she managed not to fall down.

Xue Rou'er woke up and said, "It's the daughter of the common people who is so aggressive and competitive. I don't blame the Ninth Prince." At this time, she could only say this. After all, she was in her father's territory, so it was better to be cautious.

The imperial doctor came over and asked the imperial concubine and the prince to have a good time. Then he went to the imperial concubine's couch in the inner room to examine Xue Rou'er. After a while, he said: "To the imperial concubine, Miss Xue just choked on the water and was a little frightened. She is fine.

, just prescribe a few anti-convulsants."

The imperial concubine said: "Go down and the medicinal materials will be delivered later."

"Yes." The imperial doctor bowed respectfully and went down.

When the Ninth Prince learned that Xue Rou'er was fine, he said awkwardly: "As expected of a commoner, his life is as tough as grass."

The fourth prince didn't know Xue Rou'er's situation yet. He was waiting in another room for the eunuch to bring him some clothes to change. When he took off his robe, he found something hanging on his sleeve. When he took it closer, he felt cold all over.

It was a gold bracelet, very small, but the gold leaves on it were unforgettable to him, because each leaf was carved by himself. It was a birthday gift he gave to his mother and concubine ten years ago!

But when did this bracelet hang on his sleeve? Did Xue Rouer hang it on purpose? No, she didn't have that time. Could it be that it was scraped from the water when he rescued her? The mother-in-law died eight years ago.

Why did this bracelet appear in the koi pond?

Or maybe this is not from the koi pond, but is indeed something Xue Rouer hung on his sleeve to deliberately attract his attention? But there is no way there is the same bracelet in the world, unless she robs the tomb.

All the speculations were finally overturned by himself. Later, he changed his clothes, came to the palace, and asked: "Excuse me, my dear concubine, how is Miss Xue's family?"

The imperial concubine said: "You are too fooling around. Fortunately, you rescued her in time, otherwise you will have to think about the consequences yourself."

The fourth prince bowed and said, "That's what the empress said."

The imperial concubine did not want to be at odds with the fourth prince, so she softened her tone and said, "That's it, she's fine."

The fourth prince said: "Can I go see her?"

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed and she said: "Go, don't stay too long."

"I..." The Ninth Prince only said one word and then fell silent. He originally wanted to see Xue Rou'er, but he held back when he remembered her identity. A prince would not apologize to the common people even if he did something wrong.

.

The fourth prince glanced at him without saying anything. When he walked in, he saw Xue Rou'er covered with a blanket, talking and laughing with Yu Nu. She didn't look like a person who had just experienced life and death.

When Xue Rou'er saw the fourth prince, she immediately remembered that the fourth prince said: "No courtesy."

Xue Rou'er wished she could avoid having to kneel down, so she leaned on the imperial concubine's couch with peace of mind and said, "My daughter, thank you Fourth Prince for saving your life."

The fourth prince hesitated, took out the bracelet and said, "Do you recognize this bracelet?"

Xue Rouer looked at it and shook her head: "I don't know."

Yunu glanced at it and didn't look at it again. Their expressions didn't seem to be fake. It seemed that they really didn't know the origin of this bracelet.

The fourth prince asked: "Why did you fall? Those fish wouldn't have dragged you into the water."

Xue Rou'er thought for a moment and said: "When the girl was walking back, something grabbed her foot. She got into the water and broke it open. What she touched was like a skeleton's hand bones, so she panicked.

In addition, the Ninth Prince still used fish food to make the fish jump around, and the girl was knocked unconscious by a big fish."

The fourth prince turned pale and continued to ask: "You said you touched the skeleton?"

Xue Rouer thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's a skeleton. I'm sure it's not a dead branch." There were many innocent souls in the palace, and maybe another unlucky palace maid was buried.

The fourth prince nodded and said, "Can you promise me not to tell anyone what happened today?"

Xue Rou'er nodded and said: "The folk girl is delicate and was knocked down by the fish."

The fourth prince nodded and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you."

Xue Rouer was startled. The fourth prince said thank you to her? What is going on?

The fourth prince said: "The noble concubine is pregnant and her mood is not very stable. You can often come to the palace to accompany her. This jade medal is given to you. With it, you can enter the palace at any time."

He put a jade plaque into Xue Rouer's hand, then turned and left.

Xue Rou'er's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the jade plaque in her hand, her face was filled with greed, and her saliva was about to flow out.

The fourth prince who was hiding at the door immediately felt disgusted when he saw her appearance, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, this woman is here to get close to me." He turned to leave, but was shocked by what Xue Rou'er said, and almost stumbled under his feet.

"Jade slave, Yu slave, look, this is the best ice jade. I didn't expect that I finally saw the real ice jade. If I sell it, it can be worth a lot of money!" Xue Rouer said excitedly.

But Yu Nu smiled and said: "Miss, do you really want to sell it? The fourth prince gave this to you, why don't you think about it elsewhere?"

Xue Rouer asked: "Where is it next to it? Think about it. I have to keep it. I will sell it when there is no money."

The corners of the fourth prince's mouth twitched, and he hummed in his heart: "Damn woman, if you dare to betray me, I will make you beg for food for the rest of your life." He walked out angrily.

The Ninth Prince was waiting outside. When he saw him coming out, he asked, "Brother Fourth Emperor, is that girl okay?"

The fourth prince said: "Fortunately nothing happened, you went too far."

The Ninth Prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, everything is fine, but this girl is really interesting. She doesn't cry or make trouble, and she looks very cute with her stubborn face."

The fourth prince said: "If you like it, please ask your father for permission to become a girl."

The Ninth Prince said with a bitter face: "Brother Fourth Emperor, don't you know what the two young ladies of the Xue family are doing today? The imperial concubine is trying to plant spies around us, and I won't be fooled."

The fourth prince's face darkened. He had indeed not thought of this. The imperial concubine was young but very capable. She was planning for her children and the future. Her father's health had been good and bad in recent years, she thought.

In the longer term, if the right bet is made on which prince, at least she will have a place in her father's life a hundred years from now.

If he talks to her clearly, he might be able to unravel the cause of his mother's death and win the title of crown prince. Thinking of this, he said to the Ninth Prince: "You go back first, I will go to the koi pond to find something."

"Brother Fourth Emperor, I will accompany you. Did something fall into the water? I will help you find it." The Ninth Prince said enthusiastically.
