Chapter 366 She Has Been Blocking It
All the eyes of the audience were immediately focused on Song Miaomiao.
"She woke up! She was saved!" Niu Niu said excitedly.
She felt that there was no better news than that her little friend was safe.
Song Miaomiao spit out some water, but she was still very weak. Yancao carefully put her down.
The emperor and the queen mother had also noticed Yan Cao's strange behavior before, and felt it was very shameful. However, Song Miaomiao was wet all over, and when she opened her eyes again, they vaguely knew what she was doing.
"He was rescued! You two little girls are quite capable!" Concubine Xian took the initiative to take credit for the two of them.
Although Qin Jingshu hoped in her heart that she could be as popular as Niu Niu, she still took the initiative and said: "It's Niu Niu's idea. Niu Niu is so smart!"
The Queen Mother and the Emperor looked at Niu Niu approvingly.
"The Ai family heard that something happened here in Qianli Pond, but they don't know what happened." The Queen Mother said.
Niu Niu explained: "Grandma the Queen Mother, Jingshu and I made an appointment with Sister Miaomiao to meet here. When she came, she was floating in the pool, and the beauty kite also fell into the water!"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother thought that it was indeed a child. When life was at stake, she was still thinking about the beautiful kite.
"Sister Yan Cao knows water. She is very powerful. She went down and rescued people!" Niu Niu said.
The Queen Mother looked at Yan Cao. She remembered that this child was the little palace maid of Shoukang Palace. She made a small schoolbag for Niu Niu with great care, so she was arranged to take care of Niu Niu.
Yan Cao faced her master's questioning look and said, "When the slave fished Miss Song out, Miss Song had lost consciousness and was breathing weakly. It was Niuniu who came up with this idea and asked the slave to hang her upside down on her back. Save Miss Song."
The Queen Mother nodded, and Yan Cao spoke clearly and explained the matter clearly.
Concubine Xian took the opportunity to say, "Fortunately, you rescued the man. Otherwise, the noble concubine would have put a shameful hat on you and prevented you from rescuing the man. I'm afraid that the little girls would have gone to see the King of Hell by now."
Xian Fei's finishing blow made everyone's eyes fall on the noble concubine.
Concubine Li immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, I have never seen such a way to save people. It is my short-sightedness that almost cost someone's life."
After hearing this, the emperor didn't think much about it, but asked Niu Niu: "Good boy, how do you know this method can save people?"
Niu Niu tilted her head and explained: "Dad taught me this. This is a native method in the countryside. I thought everyone knew it."
The emperor smiled and said: "I really didn't know there was such a way to save a drowning person. Niuniu, you saved a life today. You are such an amazing little girl."
After Niuniu was praised, she couldn't help but proudly puffed out her belly.
Concubine Li quietly hid behind her while no one was paying attention.
Concubine Xian also praised: "Niuniu is really a little lucky star. It is rare that she not only knows how to save people, but is also very responsible. When faced with the obstruction of the imperial concubine, she can always say what she is responsible for. No wonder the Queen Mother Like her so much."
Concubine Xian repeatedly tried to bring the topic to Concubine Li.
The emperor was a little unhappy and asked instead: "Well, why did the little girl from the Song family fall into the Thousand Carp Pond? Where is the palace servant who is responsible for serving her?"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Song Miaomiao.
Although Song Miaomiao spit out the pool water she swallowed, her eyes were still closed and her face was pale.
Concubine Wang, who was responsible for taking care of Song Miaomiao, received the news later than others. She rushed over at this time and was shocked to see Song Miaomiao in such a state.
"Your Majesty, although this child has been rescued, she still looks very weak. Why don't we wait until she recovers and then ask why?" Concubine Wang looked at Song Miaomiao with a distressed face.
Concubine Wang guessed that Song Miaomiao fell into the water because of her playfulness, and was afraid that she would be punished by the emperor and the queen mother for this reason, giving her a bad reputation as a playboy.
The reason why she thinks so is simple. Firstly, Song Miaomiao has always been naughty and likes to run away from the servants she is serving. Secondly, she does not think that others will harm a little girl who is only a few years old for no reason.
When Concubine Li heard this, she felt relieved and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the concubine Wang is right. The child's health is the most important thing now."
The emperor was about to nod when he suddenly saw Song Miaomiao opening her eyes, raising her hand and pointing at Concubine Li.
The expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.
"She...she...hurt me..." Song Miaomiao's tone was weak but extremely firm.
The concubine looked at the imperial concubine in disbelief.
Concubine Li immediately said: "That's nonsense. How could I be the one who pushed you into the water? Even if your brain is flooded, you can't keep trying!"
Niu Niu said with confusion on her face: "Your Majesty, Miaomiao said you harmed her, maybe because you have been blocking me from saving her. Why do you think she was talking about pushing people into the water?"
Concubine Xian quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Yes, your concubine, by speaking like this, you seem to be asking for it."
The Queen Mother had already believed it 100% the moment Song Miaomiao didn't speak, and felt that the imperial concubine must have done this evil thing.
As Song Miaomiao's adoptive mother, Concubine Wang had been lonely in the palace for more than ten years. Finally, she had a child. Even if it was not her biological child, she doted on her like a baby. At this time, she asked Miaomiao: "Is it really recommended by the imperial concubine?" Did you get into the water?"
Song Miaomiao nodded and said: "It was... the... palace maid... who was... talking to... the imperial concubine... did it..."
After Song Miaomiao finished speaking, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Wangpin looked at her like this and her heart was in a knot.
"Good child, don't worry, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely take care of you and will not let go of the people who hurt you." Wangpin said loudly.
Even though the emperor still had feelings for Concubine Li, he still remembered the thick dozen lives on her hands. He had no doubt that Concubine Li would do such a thing.
Concubine Li immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Why would I harm a child? Children love to lie. You can't trust their words!"
The emperor couldn't understand why the concubine attacked Song Miaomiao: "Little Miss Song, tell me, why did the maid push you into the water?"
Song Miaomiao shook her head: "I... I was hiding in the rockery... I was going to scare Niuniu and Jingshu... I heard someone talking outside... but I couldn't hear it clearly... I... I wanted to get closer... and I was thrown into the water..."
Song Miaomiao spoke intermittently. She gasped for breath every time she said a word, and she looked very bad.
The concubine suddenly regretted it. If she had known that the little girl didn't hear it, why did she have to do it?
"Your Majesty, you heard it too. This child can't even explain why she fell into the water. How can you take her words seriously?"
Song Miaomiao was so angry when she heard this.
Concubine Li continued, "Your Majesty, if it was really me who did this, how could I dare to return here? Am I not afraid of being caught red-handed? Why should I come to help?"
The emperor did not speak after hearing this, but still stared at the concubine with a scrutinizing look.
Niuniu, who was standing aside, was confused by this confusing conversation and asked, "If you didn't hear it, it wasn't the concubine's fault? What did the concubine come to help with? Didn't she always try to stop us from saving Miaomiao?"
