Chapter 354: Failed Again, Granted Marriage to Lan Yi
"Reporting to the queen, I specifically asked that maid to follow me back to Wufu Hall. I think she should be here now. I will go and bring her over right away."
Fang Qiu thought for a moment and then asked.
"Why do you doubt this person?"
The emperor standing aside looked at Fucha Zhixi, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Your Majesty, I have met Fu Zhenyu once before. This maid is a horse trainer in Baijun Garden, so I think this matter is a little strange. I want to bring her here to ask her carefully."
Fu Cha Zhixi began to explain.
Soon, Aunt Fangqiu came in with Ye Lanyi, who had changed into clean clothes.
"Greetings to His Majesty, and to the Imperial Concubine."
Ye Lanyi saluted the two of them awkwardly.
"Get up."
"I want to ask, why did you appear by the lake at that time? Aren't you the horse trainer of Baijun Garden?"
The emperor stared at Ye Lanyi with cold and oppressive eyes and asked.
"Don't be afraid, just tell the truth."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Ye Lanyi tenderly and said.
She didn't doubt Ye Lanyi very much, but she wanted to know whether Ye Lanyi noticed anything wrong when she was saving people.
"I was about to go to Baijun Garden for duty when I heard someone calling for help by the lake, so I rushed over to see what happened."
"I have seen the Imperial Concubine and the Sixth Prince before, so when I saw the Sixth Prince fall into the lake, I quickly jumped in to save him."
Ye Lan'yi was originally a little unhappy because of the emperor's obviously suspicious look and tone, but then Fu Cha Zhixi's comfort made her feel a little better, and she honestly told him everything that happened at that time.
"Then did you notice anything strange when you rescued them?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Ye Lan Yi and asked.
"My lady, I was only focused on saving people at the time and didn't notice anything wrong."
Ye Lanyi thought carefully about the situation at that time and did not find any problems. After all, she had to rescue two people by herself. Although one of them was a child, it was not an easy task.
If she wasn't a good swimmer and had strong hands from years of horse training, she would have had no way of rescuing the two people to shore.
"Think about it carefully, is there really nothing at all?"
When Fu Cha Zhixi heard Ye Lanyi's answer, an anxious look appeared in his eyes, which made Ye Lanyi, who was usually soft-hearted, think carefully again.
"When I hurried to the lake, I saw Sister Suqin and the Sixth Prince jumping into the lake. But I always felt that these bees seemed to be heading for the kite in Sister Suqin's hand."
"Even after Sister Suqin and the Sixth Prince entered the water, the kite immediately floated to the surface, and most of the bees flew towards the kite that floated to the side."
Ye Lanyi lowered her head and thought for a long time before looking at Fu Cha Zhixi hesitantly and said.
After hearing this, Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
She thought she could get some other clues from Ye Lan Yi, but in the end it all came back to the kite.
"My lady, is what I said wrong?"
Seeing Fu Cha Zhixi's face change drastically, Ye Lanyi looked at him worriedly and asked cautiously.
"The situation was too urgent at the time, and I didn't see it clearly. Maybe I saw it wrong."
Ye Lanyi added weakly.
She didn't want to see this rare kind master in the palace so sad. She hoped she could help her, but she seemed to have messed things up.
"Xi'er, it's okay."
The emperor naturally understood why Fu Cha Zhixi had such an expression, and quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Although there are no clues on this kite, it does not mean that there are no clues in this matter. Don't worry, I will find out the real culprit and give you and your child an explanation."
"Your Majesty, seeing Fu Zhen in this state, I wish I could take his place."
"If I have done anything wrong, they can just take revenge on me. Why hurt the innocent? Fuzhen is just a child. What has he done wrong?"
Fu Cha Zhixi closed her eyes and tears fell one by one like pearls from a broken string.
The emperor even felt that each tear was like a pounding on his heart, causing him to feel a dull pain in his chest.
"Xi'er, you are kind and generous. How can you be blamed for what happened today? It was other people who had evil intentions and tried to murder our child. They were vicious and had no business being you."
The emperor carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Fucha Zhixi's eyes and comforted her softly.
"You saved my Fu Zhen, which is equivalent to saving me. If you have any requests, just tell me, and I will definitely fulfill them."
Fu Cha Zhixi calmed down his emotions a little, turned around and asked softly to Ye Lanyi who was standing obediently beside him.
"Slave, slave."
Ye Lanyi didn't expect the imperial concubine to ask her this, which made the glimmer of extravagant hope hidden deep in her heart surge out uncontrollably.
"Just speak up. I can make the decision on things that the Imperial Concubine cannot make."
Upon seeing this, the emperor waved his hand and spoke to Ye Lanyi.
"I was once seriously ill, and it was Prince Guo who saved me despite my humble status. So, I, your servant."
Ye Lanyi felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head.
"I understand."
"Your Majesty, I remember that Prince Guo is now in his twenties, but he doesn't even have a concubine in his house. Moreover, as a prince, Prince Guo is willing to help Lan Yi, a horse trainer. It can be seen that Prince Guo should have some feelings for Lan Yi. Why don't Your Majesty help this heaven-sent marriage today?"
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally understood Ye Lanyi's thoughts. She asked her this because she knew what she was thinking.
After all, she was indeed very grateful to Ye Lanyi for saving Fu Zhen, so she was naturally willing to give the other party a push so that the other party could have a suitable identity to get close to her lover.
As for whether Prince Guo wanted this good marriage, that was not within her consideration.
"I didn't expect there would be such a fate here. My seventeenth brother is indeed quite old. It is really not a good thing for him to continue like this."
"Since you have such thoughts, my seventeenth brother probably has some thoughts about you too, so I might as well fulfill your wishes."
"Although you are of low status, I will give you to Prince Guo as a princess because you saved the Sixth Prince. You don't have to start as a concubine."
(A gege is one level higher than a concubine.)
The emperor was very satisfied with this situation, and he didn't care whether Seventeen would be satisfied or not.
In this way, he could demonstrate his magnanimity and also clarify that he did not intentionally fail to arrange a marriage for Prince Guo and was not harsh on his younger brother.
