Chapter 198 The Sixth Prince Fell into the Pool
The Sixth Prince looked cold and said, "I am so old, can I still get lost? Can't I have some time and freedom of my own? Do you have to watch me every day?"
After saying that, he walked towards his palace, and the maids chased him from behind. Until then, the Sixth Prince was thinking about something and didn't see a big rock in front of him. He tripped over the rock and fell into the pond. The maids chasing him from behind were so scared when they saw this scene that they stood there without daring to move. They only saw the Sixth Prince splashing in the water with his mouth full of help. After the Sixth Prince fell into the pond, the maids were terrified and at a loss. At this time, a maid suddenly woke up and quickly shouted to the other maids: "Quick, go and call for help!" The other maids reacted and ran out to seek help.
Soon after, some eunuchs and guards rushed to the pond. They saw the Sixth Prince struggling in the water and immediately jumped in to save him. After some effort, they finally rescued the Sixth Prince to shore.
The Sixth Prince was already unconscious and breathing weakly. The imperial doctors rushed to the scene and diagnosed and treated the Sixth Prince. They found that the Sixth Prince had choked on too much water, causing suffocation, so they immediately performed first aid.
After treatment by the imperial doctors, the Sixth Prince's breathing gradually stabilized.
When the queen heard that the Sixth Prince had fallen into the pool, she was very angry and rushed to the scene in a rage. She saw that the Sixth Prince was unconscious and breathing weakly, and she was heartbroken. She knew that it was her fault for not taking good care of the Sixth Prince.
The queen turned to look at the maidservant beside the Sixth Prince and angrily asked, "How did you take care of the prince? Didn't you notice such a big rock on the road? How did you do things?"
The maids were so frightened that they trembled all over and dared not speak. They knew they had made mistakes and failed to fulfill their responsibilities. They lowered their heads silently, waiting for the queen's punishment.
The queen was even more furious when she saw their expressions. She knew that these maids did not intend to hurt the Sixth Prince, but their negligence led to such consequences. She had to punish them severely so that they would remember this lesson.
Therefore, the Queen ordered that all the personal maids around the Sixth Prince be fined one month's salary, and ordered them to stay by the Sixth Prince's side at all times to ensure his safety until he recovered.
At the same time, the queen also ordered to strengthen the security measures in the palace to ensure that similar things would not happen again. She knew that this was not a fundamental solution to the problem, but she had to do her best to protect the safety of the Sixth Prince.
When the emperor heard the news that the Sixth Prince had fallen into the pool, he was also very shocked and worried. He immediately put down his work and rushed to the Sixth Prince's palace.
The emperor was very sad when he saw the Sixth Prince unconscious and breathing weakly. He knew that it was his fault for not taking good care of his son. He turned to look at the maids around the Sixth Prince and asked angrily, "What's going on? How did you take care of the prince?"
The maids were so scared that they trembled all over and dared not speak. When the emperor saw their appearance, he was even more angry. He knew that these maids did not intend to hurt the Sixth Prince, but their negligence led to such consequences. He had to punish them severely so that they would remember this lesson.
Therefore, the emperor ordered that all the personal maids around the Sixth Prince be fined for three months, and ordered them to stay by the Sixth Prince's side at all times to ensure his safety until he recovered.
At the same time, the emperor also ordered to strengthen the security measures in the palace to ensure that similar things would not happen again. He knew that this was not a fundamental solution to the problem, but he had to do his best to protect the safety of the Sixth Prince.
The emperor stayed by the Sixth Prince's bedside for a whole day and night.
