Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

The little swallow did not hesitate at all, jumped into the lake with a splash, and swam to the center of the lake.

"Aunt Shen, I'm here to save you, don't be afraid!"

"Little...little Yanzi, help me."

Mrs. Shen vaguely heard Xiao Yanzi's voice, and the voice was getting closer and closer. Her desire to survive became much stronger, and she reached out to look for her blindly.

Qing'er frowned when she saw Little Yanzi also jumped in. Now in the twelfth month of winter, how could Little Yanzi and Mrs. Shen's bodies be able to withstand it? She took a look at the geographical location and found that it was the closest to Kunning Palace.

"Ziwei, you help Xiao Yanzi save people here, while I go to Kunning Palace to find someone to help."

"Okay, Qing'er, be careful." Ziwei looked worried. She was not good at water, so she could only shout for help in all directions.

"Come on, someone has fallen into the water, please come on."

After a while, the palace maids and eunuchs ran over. When they saw the people in the lake, they broke out in cold sweat. The eunuchs jumped into the water to rescue them.

With the eunuchs joining in, Mrs. Shen was quickly rescued ashore. She had fainted because she had been in the water for too long.

Seeing this, Little Yanzi could only press Mrs. Shen's abdomen desperately and spit out mouthfuls of lake water.

After a while, Mrs. Shen opened her eyes tremblingly, looked at the little swallow trying to save herself, and cried with emotion.

"Little Yanzi, look, Aunt Shen is awake." Ziwei said excitedly, and hurriedly put the quilt on the two of them.

"Aunt Shen, you're awake. That's great. Ziwei will give Auntie some more quilts."

Little Yanzi was shivering from the cold. Neither she nor she, a martial arts practitioner, could stand the coldness of the lake. How could Aunt Shen, who was so pampered, be able to bear it.

Mrs. Shen spent the rest of her life feeling like she had stepped into the gate of hell, thanks to these children who pulled her back.

"Little Yanzi, Ziwei, thank you. I will definitely repay your kindness when my aunt returns."

"Qingci! Qingci!" The queen ran towards this side without even wearing a flag and her clothes were baggy.

"Queen, please slow down and pay attention to your body." Although Grandma Rong is old, her steps are not slow at all.

When Mrs. Shen heard her sister's cry, she burst into tears because she was almost separated from her family forever.

The queen ran over and hugged her sister. When she saw that she was awake, she felt relieved.

"Qing Ci, why did you fall into the water?"

Qing'er saw Xiao Yanzi's trembling lips and squatted down to hug her, "Queen, why don't we send Mrs. Shen and Xiao Yanzi to Kunning Palace first? Qing'er saw them trembling with cold."

Aunt Rong also whispered in the Queen's ear, "Yes, Madam, there are many people here and it is not the place to talk."

The queen's face was gloomy. If she dared to touch her own sister in the harem, would she dare to attack her someday? She ordered the eunuch behind her.

"You guys help Xiao Yanzi and Mrs. Shen into the sedan, and drive back to the palace."

Qing'er held Ziwei's hand and warned, "Ziwei, I won't go with you. I have to go back and report to Lafayette."

In Kunning Palace, Mrs. Shen and Xiao Yanzi changed into clean clothes under the service of the palace maid. They held Tang Pozi in their hands and drank the spicy ginger soup to ward off the cold.

Xiao Yanzi's spicy expression was distorted, she stuck out her tongue, and kept fanning it with her hands, "It's so spicy, so spicy, Queen Mother, can I not drink it?"

The queen had finished dressing now and refused her bluntly, "No, you are suffering from cold. You must drink this ginger soup. Aunt Rong has already gone to ask Dr. Wen to take a look at your health."

Little Yanzi pinched her nose and covered it up. Ziwei quickly stuffed the candied fruit in her hand into her mouth.

"Little Yanzi, you won't feel spicy anymore after eating the candied fruit."

Xiao Yanzi ate about ten pills in a row before he could suppress the spicy taste in his mouth.

"Aunt Shen, why don't you take two too." Xiao Yanzi gave up the few candied fruits left in her hand.

Mrs. Shen smiled and shook her head. She had already drank two bowls of ginger soup before she could barely warm herself up.

"Little Yanzi, you can eat it. Auntie doesn't like sweet things."

The queen looked at her sister's miserable state and felt heartbroken. She raised her phoenix eyes slightly and said, "Qing Ci, tell me whether your fall into the water was man-made or an accident."

The corners of Mrs. Shen's eyes were slightly red, and she stretched out her hand to wipe her tears. "Sister, I just felt someone pushed me from behind. I didn't see who it was, but I seriously suspect that it was Princess Zhan who did it."

Then he told the queen about the quarrel between the two.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei covered their mouths in surprise. Yugege's forehead was so scary. It seemed like they should stay away from Yugege in the future. They were not familiar with her anyway.

The queen slammed the table angrily, "This vicious woman is so brave! I immediately sent someone to tie her into the palace."

Regardless of her weak body, Mrs. Shen quickly stopped her, "That's not right. She is the princess after all. Sister, if you rashly tie her into the palace, I'm afraid some officials in the previous court will interfere with you."

The Queen smiled contemptuously, "I'm afraid she won't be a princess."

Ziwei also agreed with Mrs. Shen's words and persuaded her, "Empress Huang, you should think twice before you act. Princess Zhan dares to attack her aunt, so she must have thought of a perfect plan. If she scares the snake, isn't this what she wants?"

"Ziwei, aunt, I have to refute you two. The Queen Mother is the mother of a country. She speaks eloquently and says that whoever is wrong is wrong. She cannot tolerate sophistry."

Xiao Yanzi had the same idea as the queen, tie the person in directly, no matter whether she has any back-up tactics, if you say you are wrong, you are wrong. If you are given thirty big words first, you will naturally tell the truth when your butt is blossoming.

The queen did not expect that Xiao Yanzi's idea coincided with hers, "You don't need to persuade me anymore. As a queen, the most important thing I lack is courage."

"Little Swallow!"

"Eniang!"

Yong Qi, Shen Yuqing and Xiao Jian ran in in panic.

"Xiao Yanzi, are you okay?" Xiao Jian and Yong Qi worriedly surrounded Xiao Yanzi.

Little Yanzi waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. My little Yanzi has been traveling around the world for many years. I have never seen any big storms or waves. This is just a small scene."

Seeing her son's anxious look, Mrs. Shen wiped the tears from her eyes and choked.

"Yu Qing, E Niang was lucky enough to save her life this time, thanks to Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei and Qing'er."

Shen Yuqing is a big man. The moment he knew that his mother-in-law fell into the water, he felt that the sky was falling. His eyes suddenly turned red and tears almost fell. He bowed heavily to Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei.

"You two, please accept my obeisance. Thank you for saving my mother's life."

Xiao Yanzi was about to get up and help him, but Yong Qi and Xiao Jian held her arms down, preventing her from getting out of bed.

"Brother Shen, what you said is obvious. My aunt is so kind to Xiao Yanzi. Isn't it right for me to save her?"

Ziwei quickly turned sideways and looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, her tone sincere.

"Brother Shen, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Not to mention, Aunt Shen is so kind to us, just like family. Now that we have seen it, how can we let her suffer."
