Picture her prosperous face

It was still early, but the sky outside was already completely dark, and a full moon hung high in the sky.

All the ministers followed the emperor, surrounded him from the Chengde Palace, and headed for the imperial garden in a mighty way. It is a custom to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also an opportunity for the emperor and ministers to have a blind date. However, simply enjoying the moon is a bit monotonous, so Most of the locations for viewing the moon are in the blooming imperial gardens.At that time, taste the wine and enjoy the flowers, look up at the moon, and if you can write another good poem, it will be a good talk.

However, such things as writing poems are not the turn of these high-ranking courtiers, and their nephews and nephews have already prepared for it, in order to stand out on such occasions.Fame is not counted, what is more important is that it is expected to be in the eyes of the emperor.

Sure enough, as soon as everyone entered the imperial garden, before they even had time to see the flowers and plants in the courtyard, some people were eager to try it.

Ji Chang didn't want to join in the excitement, but even if she wasn't close, the poems floated to her ears with the night wind.She listened vaguely, and after listening for a while, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and she didn't know what's so good about such eulogizing words?However, these poems are usually prepared in advance. Since they chose this way under the advice of their elders, the emperor must also like to listen to it, right?

There was a lot of excitement ahead, and all kinds of flattery were hidden under the gorgeous rhetoric. The emperor felt comfortable listening to it, but Ji Chang couldn't stand it anymore.She raised her eyes to look at the crowd in front of her, then turned her head to look at the blooming flowers in the flower garden beside her, and stopped in her tracks pretending to be interested.

No one noticed Ji Chang's stay, and a group of people followed the emperor away.

The hustle and bustle went away with the crowd, and it seemed that even the cool night wind became peaceful and peaceful, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Ji Chang stood there for a while, bent slightly to look at a strange flower in the garden.She has never seen such a flower, and she doesn't know the name of this strange flower, but it is because she has never seen it that it attracts her to stop, doesn't it?

After a while, everyone walked away, Ji Chang looked away and raised his head.

There are two forked roads ahead, the emperor and his courtiers have just walked to the left, and they can catch up with everyone if they walk along.However, Ji Chang was selectively blind and pretended not to know. At this moment, he saw a servant passing by, so he called him over and asked, "Where did Your Majesty and all the adults go?"

Holding the lamp, the servant pointed to the right without thinking: "My lord, Your Majesty, they are going this way."

Ji Chang nodded when he heard the words, not doubting his appearance, he stepped up and chased to the right.

Tonight, the emperor and empress are watching the moon, and almost the entire imperial garden is brightly lit. Ji Chang walked along the path pointed by the servant, and there were lights to guide the way along the way—that is, the way.There are forks along the way, but there is always only one path with light in the fork, which clearly prevents people from going into the dark.Anyone who was vigilant could feel that something was tricky, but Ji Chang still walked along the lights as if he had no brains.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, no one else was seen along the way, until Ji Chang raised his eyes and it was no longer a flower garden, but a patch of water.

The full moon is reflected, the water is shining brightly, and one or two remnants of lotus can be vaguely seen on the calm water. It must be a pond.

Ji Chang came back to the Imperial Garden for the first time tonight, and no matter how well-prepared she was when she entered the capital, it was impossible for her to put people into the palace, so she was really unfamiliar with this place.Looking at the pond in front of her at this moment, she frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart.

Just thinking about it like this, I heard a "plop", as if something heavy had fallen into the water.

****************************************************************************

For Ji Chang and Qiao Shangshu, this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a hidden conspiracy and needs to be guarded from time to time.But to Qiao Yue and even Mrs. Qiao, they didn't know anything about it, it was just an ordinary palace banquet.

The palace banquet hosted by the empress was also lively and lively, and noble ladies came out to perform on their own initiative from time to time.

Qiao Yue's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all mediocre, so naturally she won't come out to show her ugliness.Fortunately, she is the only daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and she grew up in the capital. She has acquaintances with noble girls to chat and joke with her. Compared with Ji Chang's lonely "miserable situation" on the other side, I don't know how much better .However, having more acquaintances also means more entertainment, those noble ladies today don't know what to think, they like to toast to her every now and then.

At first, Qiao Yue drank the toast out of face, but later changed to tea because she couldn't bear the alcohol.But whether it's wine or tea, what you drink into your stomach is actually water.Therefore, before the banquet was half over, Qiao Yue felt her belly bulge and felt urgent.

Fortunately, there was no need to endure this matter, Qiao Yue greeted Mrs. Qiao, and asked the maid to guide her to the toilet.

For Qiao Yue, this is not the first time she has come to the palace, nor is it the first time she has participated in a palace banquet, but she has no idea how much she knows about the palace, not to mention that she also drank a lot tonight. A little drunk.

She never thought that the maid in the palace would harbor ill intentions towards her, so Qiao Yue naturally followed her away, defenseless.After walking for a long time but not reaching the place, Qiao Yue finally couldn't help asking: "Why is it so far away, haven't you reached the place yet?"

The maid didn't panic, she still led the way, and replied as she walked, "It's almost there, Miss, come with the servants."

Qiao Yue pursed her lips when she heard the words, but still followed, walking two minutes faster than before.So before she knew it, she caught up with the maid who was walking in front. The two of them were still a few steps apart, but now they were almost walking side by side.She didn't feel that something was wrong for a while, until she was walking, and the maid beside her suddenly reached out and pushed her...

The sound of "plop" falling into the water immediately resounded through the night. It turned out that the maid had unknowingly led Qiao Yue to a pond.But until the pool submerged her body, Qiao Yue didn't understand why she was murdered?

Unlike Ji Chang who is always cautious and vigilant, Qiao Yue is born to be favored, and Qiao Shangshu guards his old wife's house and there is no drama of wives and concubines competing for favor.She grew up under the protection of everyone, and she has never seen the simplicity of scheming, and she never thought that there would be someone in the palace who would attack her. This time she was really caught off guard.

"Help, help!" Qiao Yue didn't know how to swim, and struggled a few times before shouting out.

The maid who pushed the man into the water ran away immediately after she succeeded, and there seemed to be no one around the pond.Only Ji Chang who just approached, she was about to turn around and walk away when she saw the pond, but stopped when she heard this familiar voice.

"Help, come, come, help me..."

Ji Chang's eyebrows twitched fiercely, thinking that there would be a plot tonight, but he never thought that the emperor would plot against Qiao Yue's life.In this way, unless she is cold-hearted and cold-blooded and can watch people drown, she will always have to be rescued, and the Ji family has never had a cold-blooded person.

Of course, if Ji Chang really had the heart to see through the conspiracy and see Qiao Yue drowned in front of her, then there is no need to worry about giving a marriage. Shang Shuhui didn't know that she would not save her. The palace was originally the emperor's territory, and he had plenty of ways to let Qiao Shangshu know the "truth".

Various thoughts turned in his mind. In fact, Ji Chang didn't even hesitate for a moment, and ran towards the pond.

She knows how to swim, although there is not much water in the northern border, but now she is the only one left in the Hou Mansion, and everyone is afraid that something will happen to her again.So she will learn what she can, and the more skills to deal with accidents and save her life, the better.

After a few steps, he ran to the edge of the pond, and he could see people struggling in the water at a glance. Ji Chang yelled a few words to help them, and ran towards the shore near Qiao Yue.In the palace where guards are patrolling and guarding everywhere, it is "natural" that no one is around at the moment, Ji Chang ran close and didn't dare to delay, he gritted his teeth and took off his outer shirt and jumped down.

The water in the pool is slightly cool in autumn, and layers of clothes stick to the body after being soaked, which has a great impact on the water.Fortunately, Ji Chang swam very fast, and within a few strokes, he reached Qiao Yue's body, and was caught by the latter inadvertently, almost dragging her into the water together!

Ji Chang has never saved anyone. She learned Fushui purely for self-protection, so she was in a hurry, and then grabbed Qiao Yuepan and grabbed her struggling hands, and shouted: "Don't move around, I'll save you." is you!"

People who fall into the water are often panic-stricken, grabbing everything as if they are grabbing a life-saving straw, and refuse to let go, let alone listen to advice.It is also because of this that if the rescuer is not experienced, he will easily be grabbed and imprisoned by the drowning person, and finally end up drowning.Ji Chang obviously didn't have this experience, but to his surprise, after Qiao Yue heard her voice, he slowly stopped struggling.

Seeing this, Ji Chang heaved a sigh of relief, stopped Qiao Yue's back with one hand, and swam with the other to lead her to the shore.

Qiao Yue wrapped her arms around Ji Chang's neck, and looked at her profile under the lights and moonlight, hazy and beautiful.She was so embarrassed that she even forgot to choke on water and cough, she was just a little dazed, and a little unbelievable: "Your Majesty?!"

It was obvious that Ji Chang was having a hard time poking the water with one hand, but after hearing what she said, he responded with a soft "hmm", and then he took a breath and said softly: "Don't make a sound when you get on the shore in a while, Don’t say anything, just pretend to be scared and stupid.”

After regaining consciousness, Qiao Yue coughed twice, feeling extremely uncomfortable from the choking water.But when she heard this, she was a little puzzled, she had just called for help for a long time, but no one came to help, and there was no one around, so who does Shizi want her to pretend to be?

However, this question did not exist for long. She was pushed into the water on the shore. Although she struggled a little farther from the shore, the size of the pond was limited after all.Not long after, Ji Chang took her to the shore. He thought that the two of them would have to struggle to climb up, but when he looked up, he saw a hand stretched out from the shore, and someone shouted: "Quickly stretch out your hand, slave girl!" you come up!"

Where did this come from?

Qiao Yue was puzzled for a moment, but she obediently passed her hand over.Then she was pulled ashore, and when she looked back, she found that the surroundings were already full of people, or not only the shore was full of people, but there were also many people in the water...

Are they all here to save her?But there was obviously no one before!

Qiao Yue was a little dazed looking at the excitement around her, but she wasn't stupid after all, and Ji Chang had warned her before she landed, so she didn't say anything at the moment, she just pretended to be surprised and shrank aside, shivering.

The author has something to say: Qiao Yue: She looked dazed and shivering...

Shizi: Don't shake, let's watch a show!

PS: There is a second update tonight, everyone remember to give more flowers~
