After a while, Zhao Jin'er's voice calling for help came to my ears, "Help! Help!"
Yuan Dai's eyes turned completely cold, and then she understood Zhao Jin'er's plan.
The people from Xiao Ling's faction had been watching from the shore, and when there was a sudden movement on the ship, they naturally noticed it immediately.
Seeing Zhao Jin'er fall into the water, he quickly jumped into the water to save others.
Zhao Jin'er must have invested a lot of money. It seemed that she really couldn't swim. She choked on her water several times. Although she was not unconscious yet, she was still very weak.
The secret guard quickly took Zhao Jin'er to find the imperial doctor, and at this moment he happened to see Yuan Dai coming off the boat.
Suddenly I felt a thump in my heart, thinking something bad was wrong.
How could the Queen get off the boat? Could it be that... the Queen had been on the boat all along?
Several people instantly felt that they were doomed. Not only had the mission given to them by the emperor not been completed, but now something like this happened. Although they didn't know why Zhao Jin'er fell into the water, it was definitely not a good thing.
I'm afraid they won't be able to escape the fate of being punished.
The imperial doctor and Xiao Ling came at the same time.
When Xiao Ling came, there was someone with him. He seemed to be middle-aged. Judging from his clothes, he must be the envoy from Zhao Guolai.
Xiao Ling was stunned when he saw Yuan Dai and said nothing, then ordered the imperial doctor to step forward.
After the imperial doctor finished the examination, he cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the emperor, Zhao. Princess Zhao is not seriously ill. She was just a little frightened. She will be fine after a good rest."
The envoy on the side said: "How can you fall into the water if you are doing well?"
These words took advantage of Zhao Jin'er's thoughts. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes fell on Yuan Dai, "I have no enmity with the Queen. I don't know why the Queen would do this cruel thing."
, My daughter can’t swim, if it’s too late to save people, they will drown in the water!”
The envoy's expression changed, and then he looked at Xiao Ling and said: "The Eastern European countries are powerful and Zhao has admired them for a long time, so they sent the princess here, but if this treatment..."
Xiao Ling's face was calm, "Who else is present?"
"There is also a boatman." Zhao Jin'er said.
"The boatman."
After a while, the boatman was called up. He knelt on the ground and looked around, feeling a little nervous.
Zhao Jin'er's soft voice rang in her ears, "You don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth about what happened on the ship."
The boatman then started to speak in a trembling voice: "Here, I was rowing the boat. The Queen and Princess Zhao were in the boat. Then, I suddenly heard the sound of an argument coming from the cabin. When I put down the oar, I went over to take a look.
, then I saw, I saw..."
"What did you see?"
"I saw the queen holding the princess's hand and then pushing her into the lake!"
When the boatman's voice fell, all eyes fell on Yuan Dai, and Yuan Dai felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet.
She was angry for a moment, but she felt at a loss to defend herself.
What could she say?
There was no surveillance in ancient times, and the boatman belonged to Zhao Jin'er, so naturally they did whatever they said.
Zhao Jin'er was still shedding tears, crying like pear blossoms with rain, "I originally wanted to go on the boat to enjoy the flowers, but who would have thought that I would bump into the Queen. Without saying anything, the Queen would have sex with me."
Get on your feet, the queen doesn't like my daughter to just say it, why would you harm someone's life like this?"
Xiao Ling didn't speak, but his eyes fell on Yuan Dai's face, "How do you explain?"
The slightly cold words were like a needle, pricking Yuan Dai's heart. With a stinging sensation, she endured the discomfort and met Xiao Ling's eyes. His eyes were deep, like gems.
It's like an ocean with no bottom.
Yuan Dai's words were very concise, with only three words, "I don't have it."
Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
He clenched his hand slightly for a moment where no one could see it, and then he said: "The queen's words and deeds are inappropriate, and she will be confined for one month from now on."
Following Xiao Ling's words, Yuan Dai felt like she was sinking into the bottom of the sea, with a strong sense of suffocation spreading throughout her body. The manhole cover was covered, blocking the last trace of light.
This answer is actually not surprising.
Maybe she herself had expected it.
Yuan Dai accepted it calmly and said in a calm tone, "I will take my leave now."
Xiao Ling's fingers moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
When Yuan Dai turned to leave, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Jin'er's face from the corner of her eye. She looked proud and her eyes were provocative, like a winner.
And Yuan Dai lost.
Less than an hour after she arrived at the palace, someone from the servants reported that Xiao Ling had arrived.
After Xiao Ling arrived, he hurriedly explained to her, "I believe you, you didn't do this."
"It's just that the envoy is there, and I have to give him an explanation."
Yuan Dai nodded, "I know."
Yuan Dai's calm attitude made Xiao Ling a little unsure. He would rather she lose her temper at him, so that at least there would be room for maneuver, but Yuan Dai's calmness made people helpless.
"The confinement is only superficial, you can still move around."
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty still remember the time when my concubine fell from the horse?"
Yuan Dai's sudden question made Xiao Ling stunned as the topic jumped too much.
Yuan Dai...why did you suddenly mention that?
Is it possible...
Yuan Dai met Xiao Ling's gaze and said, "Yes, I understand."
"It was Zhao Li who set me up and caused me to fall off my horse. Why did you protect her and why did you deceive me?"
Xiao Ling lowered his head and said in a hoarse tone, "I... have a reason."
"Reasons, reasons, you always have so many reasons."
"So I have to be wronged every time because of you?"
Xiao Ling was speechless.
"You go." Yuan Dai said.
Xiao Ling didn't move, but took a step forward, wanting to say something else.
But Yuan Dai suddenly raised her voice and said, "I let you go!"
As he spoke, tears fell down, hitting the floor and Xiao Ling's heart. His heart trembled, but then he compromised, "I... will come see you later."
Yuan Dai sneered, "No need."
After Xiao Ling left, Yuan Dai hugged her legs and curled up her little body together.
She thought of her days in the orphanage. She was the eldest child in the orphanage. In the eyes of the dean's mother, she was well-behaved and sensible. However, Yuan Dai could clearly feel that even though she worked hard and did well, she still couldn't.
Still not as popular as those children who are lively and talk pretty.
Although they often get into trouble, they have a closer relationship with the dean.
And every time she mentioned her, she always said, "Yuan Dai is a well-behaved and sensible child."
Later, Yuan Dai simply hated these two words. Precisely because she was well-behaved and sensible, she was destined to always be the one who suffered the loss and suffered the injustice.
