"Concubine Xian, the Empress invited you to the garden at the back." There was a bit of worry in Shen Qing Wan's eyes. It had been a month since her recovery, but there hadn't been any movements during these few days, so why did he suddenly call her over?

Although she was puzzled, the empress had an invitation, so she naturally had to go over. Otherwise, who knew how much of a pampered and proud she was in the eyes of outsiders, to the point where she dared to reject the empress's invitation.

Xiao Shushen laughed in a natural manner, "Where are the big days? "It's just that I've seen these flowers blooming so well today, and I've summoned you all here to relax." She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and placed it in her mouth, then gestured for Shen Qingwan to come over and sit.

"Yi, why don't we go to the lake and feed the fishes? Since we've already come out, we might as well find some fun since we have nothing better to do." The Consort De's eyes lit up as she looked at the lake not far away and suddenly made a suggestion. "What do you think, esteemed empress?"

"Sure." Xiao Shushen's eyes flashed, but she did not reject.

At this time, Li Ruotong seemed to be in a bit of a difficult position. She slowly stood up and frowned, as if she was worried about something, and pulled on Xiao Qingwan's sleeve. Xiao Qing Wan turned her head to take a look. She didn't know what was going on with her, but she knew that she didn't want to get too close to the lake.

But before the two could say anything, Liu Chu Rong walked over, "Why aren't you two here? Could it be that you think that this suggestion isn't good? " When these words came out, not only the two of them, even the Consort De's expression changed.

"Of course not." Shen Qing Wan pulled Li Ruotong and walked down from the pavilion, her hatred towards her growing.

There were many different colors of carp in the lake, and the ones swimming around were also very pretty. Every time the remains of the cake fell down, the fish would come swimming over.

Xiao Shushen walked over from the side and stopped beside the two of them. Is my sister ill? I see that my sister's face is a bit pale. " She didn't know if she really cared about her, but she could actually lower her voice as if to cover her up.

After Li Ruotong heard this, her face became even paler, and her eyes became a little panicked. Your concubine is fine, please rest assured esteemed empress. " She clenched her teeth and forced a smile, but still did not speak the truth.

"Sister is probably thinking about something shameful, right?" Liu Chugrong rushed over from somewhere with a smile that made people feel a chill coming from behind. She then took another step forward, forcing Li Ruotong to retreat backwards. Just as she was about to fall into the lake.

Li Ruotong lowered her head, her face becoming more and more pale as she protected her lower abdomen with her hands. When Shen Qingwan saw her current state, her heart froze as she looked towards her stomach. Could it be...

Right at this time, without knowing what was going on, Liu Xiurong felt a pain in his leg, followed by his body becoming weak, and unsteadily pouncing towards Li Ruotong.

Everyone cried out in alarm, but even the Queen who was closest to Shen Qing Wan couldn't save him in time as they watched Li Ruotong fall. On the other hand, Liu Chu Rong fell to the ground a distance away from the lake.

There was only a "splash" as a large splash of water flew out. All of the imperial concubines retreated in fright. Some of them were even more brazen than the others and started shrieking uncontrollably.

Even Xiao Shushen had turned pale at this moment. If someone fell in front of her eyes, she would be implicated no matter what. The situation suddenly went out of control. Shen Qingwan wasn't able to swim well, so she could only call the guards over to save her.

Panic was written all over the faces of the imperial concubines – they had lost all color. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? After a few looks, their eyes were all on the Queen and Liu Xiugrong.

Could it be because of these two? Everyone had this question in their hearts. It was the empress's idea to come to the back garden after all, and everyone had seen Liu Xiangrong push people down.

He would pass out if he fished him out of the water. There was no danger to his life.

Xiao Shushen let all the imperial concubines head back first, and had them bring Li Ruotong back to her courtyard. It was only then that things settled down. After a while, there was only Liu Xiangrong left standing still. Until now, she still hadn't realized what had happened. She clearly didn't want to push her down!

At this time, everyone had dispersed, but her mind was still in a state of turmoil!

On the other side, the imperial physician, who had finished checking his pulse, came out and shook his head. Seeing that there were only the empress and Li Ruotong's servant in the room, the imperial physician could only mumble out a few words before finally opening his mouth under Xiao Shushen's attentive gaze.

"Reporting to the Empress, this old official has already done his best. The Queen's body is fine, but I'm afraid this child will not be able to protect her."

With that said, Xiao Shushen's body shook! Li Ruotong losing her child was naturally a good thing, but what she definitely shouldn't have was that the accident happened while she was holding a tea ceremony to admire the flowers! If the emperor knew, she would definitely be implicated!

At this time, only Liu Chugrong and a group of guards were left in the imperial garden.
