"Come on someone! Someone fell into the water!"
The family members, women and children in the water corridor screamed, and the upper stairs also heard the sound of armor and iron shoes rubbing against each other.
Tang Qingfeng eagerly observed the situation downstairs. Seeing that Yu Linwei was late, he turned his head and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, your subordinates are good enough, why don't you let your subordinates go down and save the girl Ye Ye!"
Chu Jinglan's eyes swept across the water like a wild goose shadow, and only stayed on the floating Huashang brocade belt for a few seconds, then turned around and sat beside Yuanji, no longer looking there.
"Go and save that woman from the Wang family."
Tang Qingfeng was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Chu Jinglan in surprise, only to see that his eyes were cold, and he couldn't tell what emotion it was, as if the person who fell into the lake was an irrelevant person.
"But the lord, Miss Ye, she..."
He wanted to say that Ye Huaiyang was crushed by Wang Yaru and fell into the lake, and the impulse was naturally greater. If he didn't rescue him in time, he might have feared for his life, but he suddenly remembered Chu Jinglan and saw it clearly. How can you not think of this layer? Let him save Wang Yaru first because of his status - how could he leave his concubine instead of saving it and instead run to save an irrelevant woman
Thinking of this, Tang Qingfeng gritted his teeth, unloaded his weapon and jumped down. Ling Bo rushed to the center of the lake and accurately picked up Wang Yaru, who was wearing purple clothes, and jumped ashore with his strength. Fei Yan returned to the room on the third floor, and then threw Wang Yaru to the ground. She choked on too much water and was still in a coma.
After saving her, you can always save Ye Huaiyang, right
Tang Qingfeng turned around and was about to go into the water again, when suddenly a strong black front came from the shore, picked up Ye Huaiyang like a gust of wind, and then flashed into the nearest room. It was clear to see that it was Ci Yuan.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Yu Linwei finally rushed to the first floor and rushed into the room to see that the person standing there was actually Bai Zhixuan. The leader noticed that the matter was not easy, and immediately sent someone to report to the emperor and the queen mother, and then closed the door to guard the room. the door. Although the response was timely, the onlookers saw Bai Zhixuan standing with a pale face, the crowd gradually gathered, and the discussion became louder and louder.
Upstairs, the room where Chu Jinglan was located was still so quiet that the sound of needles falling could be heard.
"My lord, what should I do with this woman?"
Chu Jinglan looked at Wang Yaru, who was drenched and unconscious, and there was a chill in his eyes.
"Go and report to the Queen Mother that she drowned."
Tang Qingfeng's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered Wang Yaru's mouth and nose. After a while, he raised his hand and lifted her eyelids. His pupils were already dilated, showing a dead gray color. The son threw it into the lake, and bowed to Chu Jinglan: "This subordinate is leaving now."
After all, he hung up his sword and left the room.
Once people are killed, this small episode of water will escalate into a major incident, not to mention that the person who died is still the daughter of the royal family of the Wang family. The queen mother was very angry when she heard the news, and ordered Bai Zhixuan and Ye Huaiyang to be brought back to the palace on the spot. At the same time, he ordered others not to discuss the matter arbitrarily, otherwise he would be punished.
The trip to watch the dragon boat race was so unhappy.
When Ye Huaiyang woke up, the surroundings were unfamiliar. A few strands of aqua-blue soft yarn hung down from the ceiling, fluttering around her side, with dark patterns of auspicious clouds woven on it, and the scent of mint emanated when the wind blew. , light and cool.
Crescent Moon was waiting beside the bed as usual. Seeing her eyes open, her worried expression lessened slightly. Without further ado, she brought a glass of clean water to her mouth. She swallowed in small mouthfuls to relieve the dryness in her throat.
"Miss, you can't take that water-breathing pill in the future. Although it's fine under the water, you've been in a coma for so long after that, so it can be seen that there are side effects. This servant is really worried."
Ye Huaiyang's lips curved slightly, and immediately put the cup back in her hand.
The reason for this is because the demons are at work. Although she tried to get close to the water when she was talking to Bai Zhixuan, to prepare herself mentally, but when she entered the water, it seemed that thousands of threads were torn. Her skin, water droplets poured in from the cracks, gradually filled every corner of her body with a terrifying coolness. The most terrible thing was that Wang Yaru grabbed her clothes and struggled frantically for a long time. The medicine never suffocated, but was extremely dizzy by this large-scale action.
I really don't know when I can overcome this fear of water...
"I'm fine, have the imperial doctor come to see me? Didn't you realize that I was taking water pills?"
"I didn't find it. After a while, the pulse only said that you were frightened. Go back and drink some Ningshen soup." Crescent moon covered her with the thin silk, and probed her forehead temperature, and then Only then did she report other things, "After you passed out in the car, the Queen Mother sent someone to place you in this Lanqin Hall. In the intervening hours, my mother visited several times. If it wasn't for the testimony of an imperial physician, she would still I suspect you are pretending to be asleep."
Crescent Moon's face was full of resentment, but she only dared to complain in a low voice. After all, there were many eyes and ears in the palace, so she had to be cautious in her words and actions, so as not to cause trouble to Ye Huaiyang. Ye Huaiyang didn't care much, rubbing her fingertips like scallions and secretly speculating that something happened to the queen mother who was eager to interrogate her. In this way, one of her goals may have been achieved.
"Is Wang Yaru dead?"
Crescent Moon nodded: "I heard that they died when they were caught, and now I'm afraid they are all in the coffin."
Ye Huaiyang hummed softly, then leaned back on the cushion wearily, her phoenix eyes half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep again.
"Miss, why aren't you angry at all? The servants could see clearly at the time that it was Tang Guard who went into the water to save the person himself, but he saved Wang Yaru. Human feelings are as thin as paper!"
"He's just following orders."
Hearing this, Crescent Moon became even more angry, "You have done so many things for his master in secret, even if a piece of jade has been held in his arms for so long, it should be warmed up? Now that he is so desperate, he is really cold in nature! "
"In the eyes of the public, if he saves me, there will be endless troubles. Maybe he can tolerate me in normal times, but he will never disrupt this game of chess for me." Ye Huaiyang's face was light, calm like an outsider , "What's more, haven't I arranged everything? With Ci Yuan here, why do I need someone else to save me?"
"Why do you suffer such grievances?" Crescent Moon said angrily.
Ye Huaiyang lifted her lips and smiled lightly, with a soft light on her beautiful face, "It's not so easy to get into someone's heart. I feel wronged now, how can I go in the future?"
"If the eldest young master hears you say these words, he will definitely..."
"I see that you are more and more likely to move out of your eldest brother to oppress me." Ye Huaiyang glanced at her and changed the subject, "How long has Ciyuan been back? Isn't there any trouble over Xin'er?"
Crescent Moon pouted: "The eighth young master heard that you fell into the water and made a big fire, saying that you shouldn't make fun of your own life anyway, and also said that if you don't talk to him in advance next time, he will tell the eldest young master everything. ."
Ye Huaiyang almost laughed out: "You are all a routine, can you bring something new?"
Crescent Moon looked at her helplessly, just as she was about to speak, the footsteps outside the door came, she immediately looked whole, and after a while, the two palace maids pushed open the carved door, and an older nanny walked in from the middle.
"The night girl finally woke up."
She smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes tightened, and a shrewd light shone straight towards Ye Huaiyang in the curtain. Ye Huaiyang grabbed Crescent Moon's hand and sat up slowly, leaning out half of her body, and the moment her eyes met, she recognized that it was Mother Xu beside the Queen Mother, and bowed her head slightly.
"My body is not up to my expectations, and I made Xu Mama wait for a long time."
Seeing that she didn't pretend to be stupid to herself, Mammy Xu went straight to the topic, and the vain smile on her face faded immediately, and said slowly and seriously, "Miss Ye is a smart person, so the old slave will not go around the corner. This morning, Miss Yaru unfortunately fell into the water and died, and she was also present at the time, and she also asked her to go to the Hanzhang Palace with the old slave and tell the Empress Dowager the whole story in detail."
"Okay, please allow me to change my clothes."
Ye Huaiyang agreed with her words, and was very happy, and Xu Ma also withdrew to the door and waited. After about half a cup of tea, Ye Huaiyang finished dressing up and walked out of the room refreshingly. Upon seeing this, they immediately held the lanterns and headed first, carving out a bright road in the deep palace shrouded in the twilight, leading Ye Huaiyang to move forward slowly.
After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the Hanzhang Palace.
Ye Huaiyang stepped into the hall calmly and calmly as usual, there was a suffocating silence inside, and the moment she raised her head, the scene in front of her made her heart tremble.
Not because of the empress dowager's cold eyes, nor because Bai Zhixuan knelt on the ground and was about to confront her, but because Chu Jinglan was sitting not far from her right, with black hair and black robes, and Yan Ruo Lengyu.
He didn't look at her at all.
Ye Huaiyang's mind quickly turned the corner. The person who died now was Chu Jinglan's concubine, and he was the last person to see Wang Yaru. He should have appeared here to participate in this interrogation.
She thought so, without the slightest hesitation in her actions, and one by one, she kept bowing and begging everyone present: "The minister Ye Huaiyang pays respects to the Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, Wang Ye and Bai nobles. The minister and daughter are late, please punish the Empress Dowager."
The queen mother did not speak.
Ye Huaiyang didn't panic, she just kept kneeling there, her long eyelashes drooping, her back straight, and the mirror-smooth marble floor reflected a faint light, making her already dull face even paler.
Bai Zhixuan, who was holding her stomach beside her, seemed to have suddenly come to her senses, pointed at her and complained: "Mother, she killed Wang Yaru, not her concubine's business!"
Ye Huaiyang didn't even blink, as if she didn't hear her words, but the empress above spoke slowly.
"Sister, after all, it's a human life, so you can't point it out randomly, but you can tell me, Miss Ye and Ru'er have no grievances or enmity, why do you want to harm her?"
Bai Zhixuan looked at Chu Jinglan with a sneer and shocked everyone.
"Because Ye Huaiyang has a crush on the prince!"
