After being rescued, Bai Yan was wrapped in a thick quilt, holding a cup of hot water and sipping it in small sips.

Xiaocui's eyes were red with distress, and she knelt beside her bed and refused to get up, "It's all my fault. The thief took the queen away. Please punish me."

After the imperial doctor checked her pulse and confirmed that everything was fine, Bai Yan yawned and waved her hands feebly. She huddled into the warm quilt and closed her eyes.

This sleep was a nightmare again, and she felt much better after waking up.

"Is there something wrong with you, my queen?"

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Er Xu standing up straight. The red bloodshot eyes in his eyes told her that he had been staying here all night. Bai Yan smiled at him and shook her head.

"My queen is awake, let's eat something first."

Xiaocui was very happy to see that her health was really fine. She brought hot porridge and put it on the table to serve her.

Bai Yan tasted the hot porridge. The hot porridge warmed her stomach and she felt much better. "Thank you, Er Xu. If it weren't for you, I would have died."

"Me?" Er Xu pointed at himself blankly.

"Yeah, it wasn't you who pushed me, I'm still soaking in the water now," Bai Yan joked with a smile.

"Didn't the empress emerge on her own?"

"Myself?"

This time Bai Yan was also confused, his expression didn't look like he was joking.

She was very sure that someone pushed her, and she would not be able to float up with her own strength. Remembering that Er Xu was indeed some distance away from her when she surfaced, and he swam this way, she frowned

brow.

It's impossible, that's what Erfu said in the book.

Er Xu nodded and added some more hot water to her, "It should be the guard who jumped down with him. Don't think about it, my dear, why don't you take a rest?"

No, no, this is wrong, Bai Yan murmured a few words, closed her eyes and recalled the moment she fell.

The hands of the two of them were separated, and his eyes kept flashing back in front of her eyes. Bai Yan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xiaocui, "Where is Pei Lin?"

"Master Pei? What are you asking Master Pei for? I can't possibly know."

What if there is a misunderstanding, what if everything is wrong, what if everything is wrong from the beginning, Bai Yan wants to know so much that she cannot wait for a moment. No matter how the people behind her try to dissuade her, she hears nothing and goes straight

Pei Linna.

When Wang Lai at the door saw her, he was stunned and saluted her, "Your Majesty."

"I want to see Mr. Pei."

There was an eagerness on her expression that Wang Lai couldn't understand, but he still lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, I don't see anyone now."

"I want to see him now, get out of the way!"

Wang Lai still stood in front of her, not daring to look into her eyes. Bai Yan had a bad feeling in her heart, "Where are the others?"

Wang Lai knew he couldn't hide it, so he stammered, "Sir, he's not here."

Bai Yan took a breath, "Not there?" What does this mean, "What about others? Where can they be if they are not on the boat?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Sometimes the master goes out to do things and doesn't want anyone to follow him. Maybe he has something to do."

Hearing this, Bai Yan laughed angrily, "There was an assassin just last night. Mr. Pei went out to do his own business today? Do you think it is possible? Did he come back last night?"

Xiaocui raised her head when she heard her voice with unconcealed concern and eagerness, and gave her a complicated look.

"No, no."

Bai Yan laughed a few times and shook her head in disbelief. He disappeared all night, but no one asked or said, "Look for him, go now, what are you waiting for?"

"Yes, I will take you there right now."

Wang Lai didn't understand why the queen was in such a hurry. Nothing would happen to him, and no one could hurt him. But he quickly gathered a group of people and ran forward in an orderly manner.

Bai Yan clenched her hand, "What does it mean that he didn't come back? He should be fine."

Feeling her inexplicable worry, she touched her heart. This was Erfu's heart and hers, which was beating uneasily.

There was no news from Wang Lai until the evening. Because of what happened last night, the cruise ship had docked at the nearby port and would set sail again tomorrow. Bai Yan twisted the handkerchief in her hand to wonder where he had gone.

"Empress."

"Say," she didn't want to hear Xiaocui's hesitant and hesitant tone.

"You, why are you looking for Mr. Pei?"

"Something's wrong."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Xiao Cui also shut up and looked at her a little worriedly.

The door was opened, and Bai Yan raised her head fiercely. She didn't know how much she looked forward to it, but Er Xu and Er Ran came in, and the sparkle in her eyes went out again.

"Sister," Erran cried and threw herself into her arms, "My brother didn't let me come to see my sister. He said that she needed to rest. Is she okay?"

"It's okay," Bai Yan forced a smile and hugged the warm little person in her arms, seeking comfort from her.

Not long after, the door was pushed open again, and she waited for the person she wanted to see.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Looking into his smiling eyes again, the tears in Bai Yan's eyes almost burst. She forced herself to hold back and speak, "Where are you, Mr. Pei?"

"Of course I'm going to investigate the assassin."

Bai Yan nodded and swallowed her words. What should I ask? Did you save me? Or should I ask if you jumped last night? She couldn't help but laugh at herself, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Pei."

Pei Lin laughed. Hearing that the little empress was looking for him in a hurry, what should he take? "Is this what your Majesty is going to ask? Does the minister who mobilized troops think that he has committed a capital crime?"

His face looked as usual, he showed no signs of fatigue, and his clothes were dry.

That's right, he is such a powerful person. Bai Yan shook her head and smiled, "I dare not punish Lord Pei."

When Pei Lin left, Bai Yan stared at the water in the cup in her hand in a daze. It was no longer important whether he was him or not. What was important was that she would return to the palace to be her queen, and finally fall in love with Er Xu.
