The Seventh Prince had long wondered why the Eighth Prince hadn't come back because he just went to the toilet.

He originally wanted to find it by himself, but Xiao Jining said that it would be fine for him to go. The Seventh Prince sat down again after hearing this, but after sitting for a while, he didn't wait for the Eighth Prince to come, and even Xiao Jining didn't come back, so the Seventh Prince couldn't sit still. up.

However, the prince got married, and the seventh prince didn't dare to make too much noise, so he could only immediately bring the eunuchs and maids who were close to him out to find someone.

Unexpectedly, when he searched for it, he saw that his two younger brothers were both submerged in the water, and they were about to sink to the bottom!

The Seventh Prince's eyes widened, and he told the maid to find someone quickly, and then immediately patted the personal eunuch: "What are you still doing, go down and save people!"

The eunuch trembled and cried, "Your Highness, this servant does not know how to drink water..."

"You are really useless!" The seventh prince's eyes turned red anxiously, and he called out to the eunuchs, and he threw himself into the lake regardless of his ability to swim, and shouted, "Old eight! Ninth brother! I'm here to save you!" !"

It is conceivable that the Seventh Prince was not saved, and immediately jumped into the water not far from the shore like his two younger brothers.

The eunuch was almost scared to death. With a "plop", he knelt down and cried, "Your Highness! You don't even know how to water!"

But just as the eunuch howled out these words, he caught a glimpse of a ivory-white figure swiftly passing by his side and diving into the water.

This man is obviously different from the panic-stricken Seventh Prince. As soon as he entered the water, he swam nimbly to the center of the lake like a fish, picked up the eighth and ninth princes who had been drowning for a long time, and sent them to the lake in an instant. ashore.

"Your Highness Eighth? Your Highness Ninth?" Seeing that the two princes on the bank were silent, the eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly went to sniff them.

"Old Ba—! Xiao Jiu?!" At this moment, the Seventh Prince was also lifted out of the water, he knelt on the ground and coughed twice, and went to see the situation of Xiao Jining and the Eighth Prince regardless of his distressed appearance.

The eunuch reminded him: "Your Highness, the two princes are still angry."

The Seventh Prince heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and raised his sleeves to wipe the water off his face, but his sleeves were also wet.

"Am I dead?" The eighth prince practiced martial arts a lot on weekdays. He was still in the water for so long and he still didn't faint. After realizing that he could breathe, he quietly opened his eyes, and when he saw the seventh prince in front of him, he let out a "wow". Throwing into his arms, holding the Seventh Prince and crying loudly, "Brother Seventh Prince—! Wow... I, I'm going to drown! Xiao Jiu is going to drown too..."

"Okay, okay, you're not dead yet. Xiao Jiu isn't dead either." The Seventh Prince knew that the Eighth Prince just escaped from death and needed comfort at the moment, so he patted him on the back to coax him.

Xiao Jining wasn't dizzy, he was just too tired, the eunuch who came to rescue him was so comfortable, Xiao Jining didn't want to move for a while.In addition, the muddy lake made his eyes hurt, so he closed his eyes to relieve the discomfort, but soon Xiao Jining felt his cheek being patted twice—this eunuch is so brave, how dare he slap his face ?

The seventh prince who was still hugging the crying eighth prince and coaxing others did not forget to care about his ninth brother, but he saw that Xiao Jining was already being hugged by Jing Yuan, so he could only comfort the eighth prince first, and hurriedly asked Jing Yuan : "Jingbudu, did Xiaojiu faint?"

It was Jing Yuan who went into the water and rescued the three princes. At this moment, he was drenched like the other princes. He was half kneeling on the ground, helping Xiao Jining to lean against his arms. With a calm and leisurely posture, there is no trace of embarrassment.

When Xiao Jining heard that the person holding her was not an eunuch but Jing Yuan, she immediately opened her eyes, but happened to meet Jing Yuan and leaned slightly towards her face, the man lowered his eyes to look at him, and stopped moving towards him It's just that a drop of water from the tip of his hair fell on Xiao Jining's nose, making Xiao Jining's eyelashes tremble from the cold, and the next moment, the person holding him raised his eyebrows, and replied to the Seventh Prince: "Nine Your Highness, he is not dizzy."

The Seventh Prince heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and before he had time to say anything, Concubine Zhen over there was crying, and her heartbroken voice came from far to near: "Ming'er—!"

Concubine Zhen, who was soft and frail, almost fainted when she saw her emperor's son sitting wet by the lake with some green algae hanging on her body, obviously she was rescued after falling into the water, and her body was shaking Huang was about to fall, but was caught by Emperor Xiao who was behind her with quick eyes and quick hands.

The eighth prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, also came. She didn't cry, but the hand hanging by her side kept trembling. She quickly walked in front of the eighth prince, and waited for the seventh prince to let go of the eighth prince, and hugged her child into the bed. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.

Xiao Jining didn't have his mother and concubine's hug, but he was hugged by Jing Budu, and to put it impartially, Xiao Jining felt that Jingyuan hugging him was more reassuring than Chunji hugging him no matter what.

A group of court ladies and eunuchs followed behind Emperor Xiao, and without waiting for Emperor Xiao's order, they hurried forward with cloaks and dry towels to put on the little princes.

"What the hell is going on here?!" The prince was drowning, and there were three of them in one drowning. Such a thing happened at the prince's wedding ceremony, how could Emperor Xiao not be furious.

The seventh prince was rescued by Jing Yuan shortly after he fell into the water, so he was not surprised. He usually spoke and acted steadily. When Emperor Xiao asked, he seriously replied: "My father, my eighth brother and I were in the same room before. Sitting in the banquet, the eighth brother said that it would be convenient for him to come out, who knew that he would not come back after a long time, so the ninth brother came to look for him. But the ninth brother also never came back, and the son felt that the situation was different, so he also looked for him. I saw that the eighth and ninth brothers fell into the water."

"Then why did you also fall into the water?" Emperor Xiao's first reaction after listening to the Seventh Prince's words was not to ask how Xiao Jining and the Eighth Prince fell into the water, but to care about the Seventh Prince, which shows the closeness of the sons.

Apart from Concubine Xiao Dizhen and Concubine Li, the other four concubines and empresses also came, and even the crown prince came along.

So as soon as Emperor Xiao said this, he also realized that it was not appropriate, and was thinking about how to remedy it, the Eighth Prince took the words of the Seventh Prince and returned to Emperor Xiao: "Father, the Seventh Brother and the Ninth Brother are all here to save you. I just fell into the water."

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao immediately handed Concubine Zhen over to the palace servants beside him, walked up to the Eighth Prince and stroked his head and said softly, "Then Chuer, how did you fall into the water?"

But this time the Eighth Prince was not very happy with Emperor Xiao's closeness, he just lowered his eyes and told the whole story of his falling into the water: "After I left the palace toilet, I saw a man and a woman talking in the gazebo by the lake. I thought they were two palace servants and planned to leave without thinking about the plan, but I didn't expect Erchen to be pushed into the lake from behind as soon as he walked to the veranda by the lake."

Speaking of this, the eighth prince trembled a little, and shrank back into Concubine Li's arms. Concubine Li didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but hugged the eighth prince tightly in her arms.

"Who is so bold?" Emperor Xiao's eyes widened angrily, "Chu'er, have you seen who pushed you into the water?"

Xiao Jining only knew that the eighth prince died of illness, not drowning, so he didn't have any clue as to who pushed the eighth prince into the water. Besides, he was not the first prince to fall into the water, let alone Emperor Xiao's sharp heart. The precious Seventh Prince, so he wrapped himself tightly in the blanket presented by the palace man and continued to pack the salted fish without saying a word.

It's just that Emperor Xiao yelled too loudly, which made him jump, and Xiao Jining raised his head subconsciously, but the person standing in front of him was not Emperor Xiao, but the prince.

But as soon as he raised his head, Xiao Jining found that the prince took half a step forward with his right leg immediately after Emperor Xiao finished speaking, and the hand hanging by his side was also tightly clenched into a fist, which showed that The prince was very nervous.

At this time, a ridiculous idea suddenly formed in Xiao Jining's mind, but he quickly dismissed it by himself.

"I saw it." The eighth prince was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Emperor Xiao, he said, "I only saw the red hem of that man's clothes, he must be some guard."

"Red ocher?" Emperor Xiao frowned upon hearing this.

The guards in the palace usually wear black armor with a white background, but today the prince is getting married, Emperor Xiao ordered all the guards on duty to wear underwear with a red background. Finding the killer among thousands of bodyguards is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Your Majesty." The Queen took a step forward at this moment, approaching Emperor Xiao and said slowly, "According to what the Eighth Prince said, since his hem is ocher red, he must be a guard. Perhaps this is some guard who is having trouble with the palace maid. , had a private meeting by the lake, but was discovered by the eighth prince, they were worried that this matter would be exposed, so they thought..."

"Investigate!" Emperor Xiao also felt that what the queen said made sense, and immediately said angrily, "Let me investigate! I must find out these two daring palace servants!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xiao looked at the Seventh Prince, and also remembered Xiao Jining who had been unknown all this time, and said with a calm expression: "Jiming, Jining, it's a good thing that you two have the courage to save people, but you don't know how to water, next time You have to do what you can, understand?"

Concubine Zhen, who seemed to have passed out just now, woke up now, ran over and hugged the seventh prince, and continued to cry: "You don't know how to swallow water, if something happens to you, what do you want mother concubine to do?" manage?"

Concubine Zhen was born weak, with icy skin and smooth skin, and her crying sound was as smooth as crisp. Even if she cried miserably, she was extremely beautiful. Xiao Jining watched her cry, and recalled what it was like for Chun Ji to cry. "Ji" is not without reason.

The Seventh Prince was a little embarrassed to be praised by Emperor Xiao, and said honestly: "Father, the eighth brother and the ninth brother were not rescued by the ministers, but by Jing Budu."

"Yes, yes, yes." Emperor Xiao smiled, feeling better, and went to help Concubine Zhen, "Jingyuan, you have made a great contribution this time, and I will definitely reward you heavily."

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes to express his thanks, and said calmly: "Jing Yuan thanked His Majesty."

Emperor Xiao saw that the eighth prince and the seventh prince had mothers and concubines by their side, and because Xiao Jining's biological mother, Chun Ji, was not worthy enough to come to the ceremony, he said to Jing Yuan: "Xiao Jiucai recovered from his illness, and now he is drenched all over, you take him with you. Go back to Yushengju and change."

"Yes." Jing Yuan replied.

Several palace people quickly came over with the palace sedan chair, helped Xiao Jining into the sedan chair and carried him back to Yusheng Residence, while Jing Yuan sat in the sedan chair with him.

Xiao Jining was always out of his mind, until he sneezed from the cold, and heard Jing Yuan ask him: "Your Highness, is it cold?"

"Well... a little bit." Xiao Jining came back to his senses, gathered the blanket around his body, and replied to Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan didn't speak when he heard the words, but just reached out to him.

Xiao Jining looked at Jing Yuan's outstretched palm, looked up at Jing Yuan and then at his palm, not knowing what Jing Yuan meant.

But Jing Yuan seemed to feel that Xiao Jining's appearance was a bit silly, so he just got up and sat next to Xiao Jining, and stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Jining's.

Jingyuan got up and approached Xiao Jining as if he was facing a big enemy, and felt uncomfortable. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of Jingyuan approaching him by the lake when he closed his eyes--Jingyuan didn't think that he was fainted by holding his breath, and wanted to give it to him. Does he do artificial respiration?

However, Jing Yuan didn't make any extra movements after holding his hand, and Xiao Ji Ning also found that there was a warmth passing through his body from the palms of the two touching, driving away the cold and making people feel warm.

Jing Yuan asked him: "Is Your Highness feeling better?"

"It's better." Xiao Jining nodded again and again, and asked Jing Yuan curiously, "Brother Jing Yuan, what kind of exercise is this? Is it the internal force that people in the Jianghu talk about?"

"Your Highness knows quite a lot." Jing Yuan said, "Does Your Highness want to learn?"

Xiao Jining asked him: "Are you tired?"

"Whether you're tired or not depends on your talent." Jing Yuan gave Xiao Jining a funny look, and actually joked with him, "For example, if I study, I won't be tired."

Xiao Jining immediately understood: "Oh, then I must be tired from studying, so I won't study anymore."

However, Jing Yuan said: "If you have a poor foundation in martial arts, you can strengthen your body, and if you have a good foundation, you can defend yourself. If His Highness encounters any danger in the future, if Jing Yuan is not by His Highness's side, His Highness Xuewu will be able to protect himself."

"Okay, then learn." Xiao Jining agreed readily, "I'll go back and ask my father for a bodyguard, let him learn martial arts from brother Jingyuan, and in the future when you're not by my side, he will protect me."

Jingyuan: "..."

Xiao Jining also joked with him: "Brother Jingyuan thinks what I said is reasonable?"

Jing Yuan snorted lightly, noncommittal, he twitched the corners of his lips, and said with a half-smile: "What your Highness said makes sense, but there are some things that are not as good as learning by yourself after others have learned them. Doesn't Your Highness have a deep understanding of this? ?”

Xiao Jining was puzzled when he heard Jing Yuan's words.

Seeing that Xiao Jining really didn't understand, Jing Yuan simply pointed it out: "For example, Fushui, isn't that the case?"

The author has something to say: Ning Ning: I don't understand what you are talking about?My Chinese is not very good.

Jingyuan: Hehe.

Ning Ning: He seems to have seen through my lies. Should I continue to lie?

Let's take a guess?
