After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Su Qingcheng knew how to swim, so she deliberately swam in the direction where Princess Huaining fell into the water.

The people she arranged have entered the lake. They seem to be fishing for people, but in fact they are going straight to the treasure chest at the bottom of the lake.

"Strange, why haven't you been rescued after so long?"

"Nothing will happen, right? Those are Princess Huaining and Princess Yunan..."

After half a stick of incense, Su Qingcheng and Princess Huaining were finally rescued. Also brought out with them were the money at the bottom of Fu Xingzhou's lake.

Princess Huaining was unconscious. The maids gathered around her and covered her with clean clothes. Su Qingcheng was breathing heavily. Gu Huoyan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward to check their pulses.

He first cast a worried look at Su Qingcheng, and Su Qingcheng mouthed: "I'm fine."

Afterwards, Gu Huoyan went to see Princess Huaining who had fainted, and helped her drain the water from the lake that was blocked in her mouth: "It's nothing serious. The princess is frightened. Just drink some soothing soup."

Princess Huaining's maids quickly took her to the side room.

Gu Huoyan then came over to take Su Qingcheng's pulse. He lowered his head slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Su Qingcheng's eyelashes still had water droplets hanging on them. She blinked and asked, "Did Ye Tantai ask you to come here?"

"No, I was there. He was very worried when he saw you falling into the water, and even asked Fu Yi to come and save you." Gu Huoyan pretended to check her pulse and joked, "Fortunately, I stopped him. I thought you wouldn't There must be a conspiracy to fall into the water so easily."

Su Qingcheng didn't hear what he said at all. All she could think about was that Ye Tantai was worried about her.

Gu Huoyan said: "Princess Yunan is fine, just be careful not to catch the cold."

Dan Mo immediately stepped forward from the side and covered Su Qingcheng with a clean coat.

Su Qingcheng raised her eyes and met Ye Tantai's gaze not far away.

His eyes were like hot spring water in the cold winter, and his cold appearance contained deep emotions. Something in Su Qingcheng's heart was collapsing...

"what is this?"

Only then did the onlookers turn their attention to the gold and silver jewelry fished out from the bottom of the lake.

Su Qingcheng suppressed her panic and avoided her eyes.

"Your Highness Prince Duan, if these boxes hadn't caught Princess Huaining and I on our clothes just now, we should have been able to surface very quickly."

She stood up, ignoring the coldness that soaked her whole body, and walked straight to Fu Xingzhou, asking coldly: "I wonder what's in these boxes?"

Fu Xingzhou frowned and pretended to be innocent: "I don't know what this is."

"King Duan means that I don't know what the box that appears in the lotus pond in your house is?"

"I really don't know."

Su Qingcheng sneered, thought for a moment and then said: "In that case, let's open it and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who picked up the box opened the box together, and countless gold and silver jewelry were exposed in front of people's eyes.

"Is this...gold?"

"Yes, there are many jade and pearls..."

The people around him were all well-known and high-status people in the capital. They could see these things clearly and understand that they were all valuable treasures.

And everyone is a smart person. For these treasures to appear at the bottom of the lake in Prince Duan's Mansion, it is difficult to have any other explanation other than that they were hidden by him.

If it's just one box, it's nothing, but there are twenty or thirty boxes here...

This is truly extraordinary for a prince's financial resources.

When the two fell into the water, Fu Xingzhou thought that this matter might be discovered, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart.

He didn't expect that this moment would actually come.

Fu Xingzhou pretended to be very surprised, with a hint of anger in his tone: "Why do these things appear in my palace?!"

Su Qingcheng saw through it at a glance and chased after him to ask: "Why didn't Prince Duan know? Wasn't it Prince Duan who had done the repair work of the Nanshan Courtyard? The lotus pond was also designed by Prince Duan himself, but now he can't say I know, it’s a bit far-fetched.”

He frowned and looked at Su Qingcheng with a hint of hatred.

Does this woman have to push herself into a desperate situation?

Su Qingcheng was not afraid of his gaze at all and stared straight back.

After hearing Su Qingcheng's words, people around him began to whisper again, and some things that they knew well were also brought to light.

"Could it be that King Duan hid the jewels secretly..."

"Hey, don't say these words in front of everyone, keep your voice down, keep your voice down."

"That's right, what will happen if your words reach the emperor's ears?"

Fu Xingzhou naturally knew that these people were somewhat adding insult to injury. But at this time, he was extremely lucky that there was no prince present who was against him.

He didn't even send an invitation letter to King Yan and the Thirteenth Prince. If they saw this with their own eyes, I'm afraid no matter how hard he tried to save it, it would be in vain.

"It is true that the design and renovation of the Nanshan Courtyard was done by me alone. But if it is not done properly, there will be some people who are interested in taking advantage of the king's absence," Fu Xingzhou crossed his hands on his chest, and there was no look of panic on his face, " After all, it’s impossible for me to keep an eye on her day and night, right, Princess Yunan?”

Su Qingcheng couldn't deny it, and hid her hands in her clothes and clenched them slightly.

Seeing that she was silent, Fu Xingzhou couldn't help but sound more confident, and calmly ordered the person behind him: "Come here, bring the man who dug the lake to me."

In less than a stick of incense, several palace guards pressed a peasant-looking man to come to Fu Xingzhou.

Su Qingcheng looked this person up and down, frowning slightly.

Digging a lake is a laborious job, and people usually have to be tall and rough-looking people. It doesn't matter how tall they are, but at least they look strong.

And the man in front of him was not even as strong as the palace guards. How could he be the real person who dug the lake?

Fu Xingzhou kicked the man and asked, "Did you put anything at the bottom of my lake when you were digging it?"

The man trembled, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. I am an honest man, but I was obsessed with evil spirits and stole the caravan's treasure. At this time, Your Majesty found someone to dig the lake. My treasure could not be found. When I got to a place to hide, I thought I could hide at the bottom of the lake... Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

He immediately admitted the crime.

Fu Xingzhou curled his lips and looked at everyone as if the truth was revealed. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Su Qingcheng: "Princess Yunan, isn't this the end of it? This thief framed me."

"This person doesn't look like someone who knows how to do hard work. Will Prince Duan not investigate further?"

Fu Xingzhou said: "How can Princess Yunan judge a person by his appearance? He doesn't look like a coolie. Maybe his subordinates are."
