"His Royal Highness Chen has fallen into the water! Someone, come quickly!"
The guard jumped into the water to fish for someone, and Zhou Chang ran out of the cabin with his clothes half open. He was so panicked that he didn't dare to think deeply, so he climbed over the fence and jumped down.
"His Royal Highness Chang Wang has also entered the water, protect His Highness Chang Wang quickly!"
The maid on the cabin didn't dare to breathe and stared at the water.
"rope!"
The guard emerged from the water, wiped the water from his face, caught the rope thrown from above and tied it around the waist of Zhou Chen who had fainted, and cooperated to pull the person up from the water.
"Third brother!"
Zhou Chang emerged from the water, and the guards took another rope and tied it to him.
"Your Highness, take care of yourself first."
He was hurriedly dragged to the deck. Zhou Chen was lying on the deck with a pale face. Two guards turned him over and carried him on a bamboo pole. They squeezed out the water that had been poured into his stomach. He vomited a large puddle and regained his breath.
, but the face is still tinged with blue-gray color.
"Make a few more fires and get His Highness into the cabin quickly! Call for the imperial doctor as soon as the ship docks!"
Zhou Chang sneezed a few times and his nose was runny. After seeing that Zhou Chen was okay, he got up.
The servants brought him a quilt, and he still felt cold after wrapping it around him.
He looked back at the water that had returned to calm. Today, either someone really wanted to kill Zhou Chen, or someone wanted to sow discord between him and Zhou Chen. Either way, it gave him an unbearable headache.
"Send someone to check the water."
The guard jumped down before he could take off his wet clothes.
He stood on the deck and looked around. There was only their boat floating on the lake, but there were several small awning boats at least a hundred meters away.
About a quarter of an hour later, the guards emerged from the water one after another.
"Your Highness, there is nothing unusual under the water."
Did he really slip and fall into the water?
Zhou Chang covered his mouth and sneezed seven or eight times in a row. He waved his hand for the guards to come up. After standing outside for a while, he already felt top-heavy and his steps towards the cabin were a little frivolous.
The maids prepared hot water and soaked Zhou Chen in it, soaking him out of sweat. They were now wiping his body.
"Your Highness, you should also take a dip, otherwise you will definitely get sick..."
The servants quickly prepared hot water, and he went to the quilt and jumped into the water.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a red mark on Zhou Chen's ankle. It had been soaked in hot water and was no longer obvious.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he called the maid who first discovered Zhou Chen falling into the water and asked: "How did your highness fall into the water at that time?"
There were only his own people on the boat, and Zhou Chen didn't like the guards following him, so when he was on the deck, the guards avoided him and didn't immediately notice that he had fallen into the water.
A maid who brought him hot tea heard the commotion and called someone over.
His Highness King Chen had not yet woken up, and the maid was afraid of being punished, so she knelt on the ground and said honestly: "I don't know, I didn't see the specific situation of His Highness Chen falling into the water, but I am sure that there was no second person on the deck at that time, Your Majesty,
His Highness should have fallen down by himself..."
"My servant is not excusing myself. His Royal Highness, King Chen, was really the only one on the deck at that time!"
Zhou Chang squinted his eyes and looked at the maid with a look that contained no warmth.
"If anything happens to my third brother, no one on the ship will have a good time! If you dare to lie, you will know the consequences."
The maid who was kneeling on the ground was shivering and did not dare to raise her head.
"Slave, I don't dare to lie! Your Highness, you have to believe this slave... I really didn't lie!"
Zhou Chang felt that his head was about to explode. He rubbed his temples with both hands until the water was almost cold before he got out of the tub.
The ship had docked, and the carriage of Prince Chen's Palace was parked on the shore. Some people ran to ask for the imperial doctor, while others ran back to the palace and the palace to report the news. Zhou Chang endured his headache and sent Zhou Chen to the palace to wait for the imperial doctor to see him.
"Imperial physician, how is your third brother's condition?"
Another stern female voice came from outside the house, scolding the servants.
"What do you do for food? Your Highness is so good, how could you fall into the water?"
Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was opened from the outside, and the queen stepped in with a sullen face, raised her hand and slapped Zhou Chang.
"If you hadn't taken Chen'er out to drink wine, how could Chen'er have fallen into the water? Are you wishing that Chen'er would be in good health?"
"You despicable thing, you are worthy of being compared with Chen'er? Why didn't you fall into the water?"
Zhou Chang, who was already dizzy, received this blow, and his head buzzed for a while. He could only see her mouth opening and closing, but could not hear what she was saying.
"Mother, calm down."
The other cheek received another slap.
"A lowly butcher's son deserves to be called my queen!"
He heard this sentence clearly, swallowed the smell of blood spreading in his mouth, and stepped aside respectfully.
"What the Queen said is that it's all the fault of my son and ministers."
The queen was thinking about Zhou Chen, walked around him and walked to the bedside, stretched out her hand and pressed Zhou Chen's forehead.
"It's so hot, doctor, how is Chen'er?"
President Liu, who was forgotten in the corner, spoke at the right time: "His Royal Highness fell into the water and choked on the water. Although he forced the water out of his mouth and stomach in time, he injured his lungs, which caused fever. The official prescribed two medicines, first.
The fever is gone."
"Then why don't you hurry up and go!" the queen said in a panic, "If Your Highness has any bad intentions, I will have all of you buried with him!"
President Liu bowed his hands and retreated to the outside. He carefully wrote down a prescription, and his servants took the time to grab the medicine and prepare the medicine.
As the maids and servants came in and out, the scene in front of Zhou Chang's eyes became increasingly blurry. He felt as if the world was spinning, and he seemed to hear a faint thump.
"Queen, His Highness Prince Chang also has a fever!"
The queen, who was devoted to Zhou Chen, only glanced at him and said impatiently: "Unlucky, send him to the guest room and ask the imperial doctor to take a look at him."
Bo Wanqing opened the door curtain and came in. He saw the battle in the room and asked, "Mother, what's going on?"
The queen's heart was hanging and she couldn't let go. Something happened to Zhou Chen, and Bo Wanqing, the royal concubine, didn't appear until now.
"Your husband fell into the water and had a high fever. Where did you, the royal concubine, go to live happily? What's wrong? What do you think is wrong?"
"Falling into the water?"
Bo Wanqing went out to a banquet and had just entered. He took off his cloak and walked to the bedside. When he smelled the faint smell of powder on Zhou Chen's body, he understood.
"Mother, come here, daughter-in-law."
The queen took the dry handkerchief handed over by the female officer, wiped her hands and stepped aside, watching Bo Wanqing fish out a piece of handkerchief from the ice water, wring it out and replace it with the one on Zhou Chen's forehead.
Her anger was gone. She could get angry with Zhou Chang, but she couldn't lose her temper with Bo Wanqing. She also wanted to win over Mr. Boge, so she naturally wanted to treat his granddaughter well.
"Excellent, why did His Highness fall into the water? Is someone trying to harm His Highness?"
Bo Wan's calm words reminded the queen, and she called the guards Zhou Chen brought with him to ask questions.
If something happened to Zhou Chen, the people who were serving on the ship at the time would definitely not be able to escape punishment.
"Back to the Queen, at that time His Highness did not allow his subordinates to follow him. His Highness was drinking alone on the deck. Perhaps, perhaps his feet slipped after drinking too much... At that time, His Highness Prince Chang also went into the water to save people. After that, His Highness Prince Chang also let
I will go into the water to see if there is anything unusual."
"Afterwards, my subordinates also checked the ship and found nothing suspicious!"
From this point of view, is it really an accident?
The specific situation will have to wait until Zhou Chen wakes up.
But by that time, even if this matter was really planned by someone thoughtful, it would be difficult for them to find evidence.
Something happened to King Rong, and something happened to her son who was behind him. Who else would benefit the most besides Zhou Chang?
She didn't believe that Zhou Chang, that ambitious man, would be willing to assist her son!
