Even if Shen Wanqing had seen it, it wasn't her who had seen it, but the person she had sent to do it.
As the saying went, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. The Queen could keep her composure, but it didn't mean that the Second Prince could.
The Second Prince was only 17 years old, three years younger than Shen Wanqing. He was still very young.
When he heard the King mention this matter, he immediately panicked. Before Shen Wanqing could answer, he hurriedly replied, "Even if we patrol day after day, we can't guarantee that there will be an accident one day. After all, no one can know what will happen in the next second, right?"
"So, you think that Carlo accidentally slipped and fell into the sea?" The King looked at the Second Prince calmly.
Hearing this, the Second Prince was stunned. Then he inadvertently met the Queen's hinting gaze and suddenly understood.
The Second Prince sincerely lowered his head and respectfully replied, "Son naturally thinks that Eldest Brother may have accidentally fallen into the sea because he was tired. This is only Son's guess. Perhaps there are other reasons."
The King nodded, "That's true."
The King looked at Shen Wanqing with a dignified expression, "Carlo, tell me, how did you fall into the sea? As the person involved, you should know best. "
Shen Wanqing, who was standing calmly below, gently raised her eyebrows. She seemed to think for a while, then said helplessly, "Son is indeed tired because of official business these days …"
On the other side, the Second Prince, who had been nervously looking at Shen Wanqing, was instantly overjoyed when he heard Shen Wanqing's answer. He immediately replied, "Father, you see, Eldest Brother said so!"
Shen Wanqing's answer was obviously not complete. She was interrupted by the Second Prince, who was dizzy with joy.
Seeing this, the Queen couldn't help but worry that her heart was in her throat.
Why did this silly child interrupt at this time? It had nothing to do with him. Did he know that this matter might really be related to him because of his excitement? At that time, it would really be over!
The Queen felt uneasy. She couldn't help but secretly turn her head to look at the King beside her. She saw that the King's face was gloomy and he seemed to be very unhappy.
Seeing this, the Queen's heart skipped a beat. She felt terrible!
The King looked displeased as he scolded, "I'm asking your brother to speak. Did I ask you to interrupt? As the second prince of our country, how can you be so rash! "
Hearing this, the Second Prince immediately lowered his head in fear. He had been blinded by joy earlier and only now did he realize how foolish and laughable his actions were.
The Second Prince lowered his head and explained softly, "I … I … I'm just worried about Big Brother …"
"Since you're worried about your elder brother, just stand aside and listen to what your elder brother has to say!" After hearing the second prince's explanation, the king looked a little better.
"Carlo, continue!" The King looked at Shen Wanqing.
Shen Wanqing nodded. "Son has indeed been a little busy these days and has not had enough rest. I feel dizzy. But … "
Shen Wanqing's sudden change in topic made the Queen and the Second Prince feel uneasy. They both looked at Shen Wanqing nervously without batting an eyelid.
Shen Wanqing pursed her lips and her expression was a little cold. "But I can be sure that I'm just a little tired. It's not to the extent that I could fall off the boat."
"… So what you mean is?" The King seemed to have guessed something and his face darkened.
