She was leaning against the corner, gasping for breath, when she suddenly heard a light sound, she immediately alerted and whispered, "Who!"
"it's me."
The mellow voice made her feel at ease, she turned to look at the person who was slowly coming out of the darkness, and couldn't help leaning on it.
Xiao Xu took her shoulders and caressed her into his arms, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Only then did she relax, leaning against him and said, "I don't know what happened, is it related to me?"
"It seems so right now," Xiao Xu felt that her mood was a little low, and couldn't help but tighten her arms around her shoulders, "We must leave here first."
She remembered the previous shouts about her falling into the water, knowing that the big ice cube said so for his reason, nodded and followed him on the lonely path to the palace.
The chaos outside has nothing to do with them.
Halfway through the road, Xiao Xu suddenly stopped and frowned slightly in her doubts, "You have to show up at this time."
After he mentioned this, she immediately understood and stood away from his side, the paleness on her face slowly disappeared, and she regained her previous vitality, "Then let's go!"
Xiao Xu was very relieved to see that she had recovered so quickly. He knew that the little guy would never fall off the chain in big matters.
Today's incident, it is obvious that someone is targeting her, if she can bear it, it is the best, if not, there is him.
So the two of them mixed into the stream of people rushing towards the falling water halfway.
"What, I heard that Miss Chu fell into the water!"
The crowd gathered into a large river like countless small streams, and then rushed to the river, and the voices were mixed, some were gloating, some were surprised, some were secretly happy, some were indifferent... everything.
Soon, people arrived at the place.
At this time, Xiao Ran had just rescued the person, and before he could check the person, he was separated by the palace servants. He was relieved when he remembered that the person in his arms was still breathing when the water was raised earlier.
Empress Liang, Concubine Yue and others happened to be nearby, and they brought people over as soon as they heard the call for help. Because of their identity and gender, it was their order that separated Xiao Ran.
"What the hell is going on here? How do you take care of people?" Concubine Yue accused the palace servants present. Although this scene was arranged by her, she was even more angry and surprised than anyone else. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a master at acting.
Empress Liang couldn't stand her arrogant posture, so she raised her hand and pressed down, "Sister Yue, don't worry, let's see if the fourth prince and this girl are in any serious trouble. After all, it's a girl's family who fell into the water!"
Empress Liang repeatedly emphasized that the other party was a girl's family, but in fact it was a bit ridiculing and gloating. Although it was a good thing that Xiao Ran saved someone, if the other party was an unmarried girl, it would be a big deal. , then it won't end well, maybe it will force others to commit suicide to save their name! .
How could Concubine Yue not hear the thorns in her words, but she just wanted to see if she lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot, that was protected by the palace servants, but her future daughter-in-law, if she knew that she was rescued by Ran'er, I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood!
"Yeah, let the imperial doctor take a look. Although it's a big summer, touching the water is always bad for the girl's family!" Concubine Yue smirked and agreed.
Empress Liang felt that what she said was yin and yang, and the woman who was surrounded by the drowning woman coughed non-stop. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "Which lady is this drowning lady?"
"I heard it just now, I heard it is..." The people present did not dare to say because of Empress Liang's identity, while the other palace staff hesitated and their expressions flickered.
Empress Liang felt a sudden shock and asked sharply, "Who?"
"Miss Chu." A woman next to her whispered. Although her voice was small, it spread all at once in such a quiet space.
Empress Liang's eyes darkened, how could it be her
Everyone present looked at each other in dismay. In the future, my sister-in-law was rescued by my brother-in-law. Although it was well-intentioned, I didn't think I put a green hat on my brother, didn't it
However, before Concubine Yue's mouth opened, a crisp voice rang out from the crowd.
"Are you calling me?"
Familiar voice, unique sound quality, everyone can't help but look at the sound, only to see Chu Qingyan in crimson clothes, like a peony flower standing out among the chickens, bright and dazzling, at this time she smiled and looked at everyone, and then accompanied by Xiao Xu. Going down to Empress Liang and Concubine Yue.
"Qianyan greets the Empress and Concubine Yue." She saluted them generously, and Xiao Xu nodded lightly at them.
Seeing her standing here so well, Queen Liang's heart fell to the ground, she would not allow anyone to lose her face!
However, Concubine Yue, whose face turned pale for a moment, looked at Chu Qingyan like a ghost, "Why are you here?"
Chu Qingyan replied with a smile, "Just now Qingyan was strolling around the lanterns in front of me, and when I heard someone fell into the water, I came over to take a look!"
Xiao Ran was wiping the water droplets on his body, and when he heard Chu Qingyan's voice, he instantly narrowed his eyes, "Qingyan, you, no, no—"
"Who was the person who was rescued?" Concubine Yue saw that her son was in a stunned state, and immediately turned to look at the person surrounded by circles.
At this time, the palace servants dispersed, and the person who was wrapped in a coat showed his face, Jing Mingzhu.
"How could it be you!" Xiao Ran's eyes widened, looking at her in disbelief, but when he turned to look at Chu Qingyan again, he didn't know what to say.
He thought it was her who fell into the water, but it was someone else who was rescued!
He turned his eyes to the mother-in-law, and his expression was full of absurd doubts.
Concubine Yue was at a loss for words at this time. How could she know that the person who fell into the water had been dumped! At this time, he can only bear the full distrust of his son.
"Okay, everyone, don't stand here, first take the fourth prince and Miss Jing down and let the imperial physician take a good look at them." Empress Liang wanted to appreciate Concubine Next Yue's gaffe at this time, but she As the lord of the harem, you still need to take it as soon as you see it.
When Xiao Ran passed in front of Chu Qingyan, he was so lost that he seemed to have been beaten with a sap. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Go and change your clothes to avoid catching a cold." Seeing him staring at the little guy, Xiao Xu reminded with a low cough.
The palace servants next to him also agreed, and Xiao Ran left like a wandering soul.
After the two parties left, Empress Liang drove away, and Concubine Yue savagely gouged out Chu Qingyan and Xiao Xu, and left with people indignant.
Although Empress Liang did not investigate this matter, and I am afraid that it will be the same in the future, the people present still smelled some unusual smells, and they whispered.
Anyway, Jing Mingzhu's marriage to the royal family is decided.
Some people sighed that her life was good, some envied her flying up the high branch, in a word, the topic continued.
Chu Qingyan looked at the vast crowd leaving, and suddenly felt that this palace was terrifying, as terrifying as a black hole that could eat human bones, making people feel cold all over.
At this time, her palms warmed, she lowered her head, her fingers were wrapped in his big hands, and the ice cold all over her body was gradually dispelled.
"Big ice cube, let's go home!"
This place is too cold to fall into a trap if you are not careful, and we still stay far away.
"good."
