Feng Yunzheng and Lian Xiyue simultaneously turned around to look. The boat had already completely collapsed and the two of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Jiang Keji was about to reach the shore with Zhou Cheng Di on his back, Lian Ruyue wiped the water from her face and softly said:

"Your Highness, hurry and go to the emperor, don't let others find out that you didn't save the emperor just now!" The Emperor fell into the water. If the Ninth Prince didn't protect the Emperor actively, the Emperor would come back to his senses and be suspicious of the Ninth Prince.

"I'll send you back to the shore." However, Feng Yunzheng did not move away from her side. The firmness in his eyes made Lian Ru Yue feel a burst of fear.

She restrained the waves in her heart and said, "Now is not the time to be emotional. In the future, there will be a lot of things to do. Right now, His Highness must be the prince the emperor trusts in his heart."

"If something were to happen to you, then what would be the point in doing what you have done in the future. Yue'er, don't forget, of all things, you are the most important."

Lian Ruyue's heart trembled as she lowered her head and said, "I've already ordered Leng Mei to return the cape and golden hairpin."

"I know, I got it." As Feng Yunzheng spoke, he had already pulled her hand and was swimming towards the shore.

He held the soft hand tightly, as if he held the whole world in his own.

She had never known what it was like to be protected before, but the moment her hand was clenched, she began to feel it.

"I used the dagger that Lian Fu gave me to poke a few holes in the rear cabin of the ship, letting the water slowly flow in, flowing into the cabin, intentionally ramming into the ship, and deliberately knocking the oars off the ship so that the boat couldn't reach the shore that fast. Only then did the boat turn over and the emperor fell into the lake." Lian Ru Yue quietly told Feng Yunzheng of her plans and actions. The boat that the emperor was on suddenly capsized. This matter wouldn't be let go just like that. It would definitely be investigated thoroughly and cause a huge commotion in the palace — —

Following that, she also had a tough battle to fight, so it was necessary for her to tell these details to Feng Yunzheng.

When Feng Yunzheng heard this, his gaze froze. He turned his head to look at her calm and emotionless face — her courage was greater than he had imagined!

"I know." Finally, he added, "Next time don't let yourself be in danger."

"I only attacked because I was confident." Lian Ruyue said.

This was a conversation between experts.

"When we get ashore, I'd like to ask His Highness to think of a way to notify the empress dowager of the matter of the ship capsized and injured. This matter is as big as it gets, right?" Lian Ru Yue's eyes flashed with an ice-cold ray of light — —

Aunt, get ready.

Jiang Keji carried Emperor Zhou Cheng all the way to the shore. The eunuchs hurriedly carried their palanquins and rushed over. Everyone knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling. They were worried about the Emperor's safety, because the Emperor's safety was related to their heads.

Imperial Consort Su's face was pale to the point of almost fainting. Feng Wu Yao held her hand tightly. The mother and daughter pair had always been well-behaved, but now such a big matter was related to them.

Seeing Zhou Chengdi get off Jiang Keji's back, Feng Degui commanded several eunuchs to carry him onto the palanquin, causing his entire body to be drenched. The dragon robe was tightly pressed to his body, and the golden crown on his head had fallen off.

Zhou Cheng Di's forehead was broken by something on the ship, and a wound as thick as two fingers appeared. Blood was flowing out of the wound, and his face was full of blood. His face had a painful expression, and his mouth was choked with water.

His left calf was trembling uncontrollably for some reason.

Crap! The Emperor was injured!

Imperial Concubine Su's legs went soft and her vision turned black. If Feng Changyao hadn't supported her in time, she would have fallen to the ground. Her chest tightened and she almost lost her breath.

"Quick, escort the emperor back to Imperial Physician Yu Qing Palace!" "Faster!" Feng De Gui's shrill voice was so frightened that it changed his tone.

"Yes sir!" Everyone lifted their palanquins and hastily walked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. In an instant, the entire palace was shrouded in dark clouds.

"Your Majesty! "Your majesty!" Imperial Concubine Su stumbled along beside the carriage and ran pathetically towards the Imperial Palace.

She was the one who made the plans to swim in the lake, but there was suddenly such a big mess. If the emperor and empress dowager tried to pursue the matter, she wouldn't be able to escape responsibility! And if the emperor really did something bad happen to her, then all the hard work she had put in over these years would have all gone down the drain!

Not daring to think further, she could only pray that the Emperor was safe. When the time came, her guilt would not be so great.

"Father, Father, are you alright?" Feng Tang Yao was also frightened to the point of pallor. As she called out to her father, she began to cry out tears. She could tell from Shufei's nervous expression how serious the matter was.

On this side, under Feng Yunzheng's protection, even Moon finally landed on the shore. Her entire body was drenched, and her skirt was stuck to her body, exposing a curve at first glance. Feng Yunzheng's eyes flashed, and he turned his face away.

The two palace maids waiting by the shore quickly walked over, bowed to Feng Yunzheng, and then kneeled on the ground. Using their cloaks to cover Lian Rue Yue, they said:

"Eldest Miss, we are from Yi Xiu Palace. Imperial Concubine Su and the princess went to the Imperial Palace to accompany the emperor. We will help you to Yi Xiu Palace first."

Lian Ruyue nodded as if she was greatly frightened. Her words trembled as she tightly held onto the hand of one of the palace maids. "Good, good …" Her appearance was completely different from the calm she had been on the ship.

Each of the two palace maids helped her up from the ground. She took two steps before stopping and kneeling down towards Feng Yunzheng, she said with tears of gratitude, "Th … thank you so much for your help, Ninth Prince … "Let's help out."

"No problem, let's go to the Yi Xiu Palace first. I'm going to the Imperial Palace to see my father." Feng Yunzheng also spoke with tacit understanding before instructing the two palace maids, "This is Lian Xiang's daughter, an esteemed guest invited by Imperial Concubine Fu. You two watch and see for yourselves."

"Yes, Ninth Prince." The two palace maids supported her as she walked towards the elegant palace. As her body heavily leaned against the palace maid's body, she seemed weak and powerless, on the verge of fainting away.

Feng Yunzheng looked at his back, then turned and hurried towards the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, the Imperial Palace looked like they were facing a great enemy, the atmosphere was tense and tense.

Upon hearing that the emperor had been injured, Imperial Concubine Liang, Xu Xian Fei, Feng Defei, and the other concubines all hurried over.

The imperial physician hurried in and surrounded the emperor's bed. The palace eunuchs came in and out with basins filled with hot water. No one knew what was going on inside, but everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to speak.

On the other side, Lian Shuren was kneeling on the ground, shivering in fear. Feng Ziyao's face was pale as a sheet, and she tightly held Imperial Concubine Shu's hand, crying non-stop.

Imperial Concubine Liang stealthily turned her head and saw her own son, Feng Yunzheng, walk in from behind. He walked all the way to her side and knelt down wet.

"Zheng'er …" she whispered.

Feng Yunzheng slightly shook his head at her.

Within the hall.

At this moment, he was lying on the dragon bed, gritting his teeth. His chest was rising and falling, and a flame seemed to be burning in his heart, and from time to time, there would be a sharp pain coming from his left calf. The imperial physician was busy cleaning the bloodstains on his left calf.

"Imperial Physician, which part of our body is injured?!" Zhou Cheng Emperor was sweating profusely from the pain and he roared.

Th-His Majesty's forehead was wounded by a sharp weapon. He had a hole that needed medicine and was bandaged with white gauze. Don't touch water for a few days. Change your medicine twice a day, and you'll be able to recover in about half a month.

"The Emperor's left shin and tibia..." "The tibia is broken and needs several months of rest …" Another imperial physician in charge of examining the calves said, trembling as he raised his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

"…" When Zhou Chengdi heard that, he tightly held onto the bed sheet beneath him and said, "When I was young, I was personally led by the Emperor, yet I never suffered such a serious injury. Now, I'm actually injured like this!"

Once he said those words, the people in the palace hall immediately kneeled down and started begging for forgiveness. Zhou Cheng Emperor tightly shut his mouth and his brows were furrowed. His imposing aura was so powerful that it caused people to not even dare to breathe.

"Your, your majesty, according to this lowly subordinate's analysis of the wounds, your majesty's calf was forcefully broken by a hard object on the bed. Your subordinate will definitely use all his strength to treat your majesty's leg." One of the imperial physicians said while shrinking back.

Following that, the servants, under the orders of the imperial physician, bandaged Zhou Cheng Di's head, applied ointment to his legs, and fixed them with wooden planks. Then, they carefully bandaged him with gauze.

"Your majesty, please don't go down to the ground these few days. Otherwise, your bones will be injured." The Imperial Physician explained with some trepidation.

"Help me up." Zhou Cheng Di ordered with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty, be careful." Feng Degui quickly bent over and helped Zhou Chengdi up from the bed, his back leaning on the bed.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived." At this time, a shrill voice sounded from outside the hall.

Soon after, the empress dowager in a blue satin gown rushed in with the mama's support, a look of worry and lingering fear on her face.

Everyone knelt down once again to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager, on the other hand, quickly walked up to Emperor Zhou's bed. She looked at his head and saw that his leg was heavily injured.

"Emperor, are you alright?" Imperial Physician, how is the emperor now? "

The imperial physician knelt down and recounted the current situation of Emperor Zhou.

"Muhou, aren't you resting? "Why are you here as well?" The emperor's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Feng Degui. "Which one of you told the empress dowager about Zhen's injury!" Zhou Chengdi was a very filial son, very considerate of the Empress Dowager.

"My son, you've suffered such heavy injuries. How could I not come over to take a look? What exactly is going on? How did the dignified emperor get injured in the palace?"
