Lingrong and Meizhuang chose a relatively gentle open space not far from the pavilion as the place to put the lanterns. There are few people here, and the river is relatively open and clean.

"Sister, be careful, the ground by the river is a little slippery." Ling Rong walked carefully to the river, and only after standing firmly, he supported the guardrail near the water in Meizhuang.

"Sister, why not ask Caiyue to help my sister put the lantern into the water, my sister's safety is the most important thing." Ling Rong persuaded.

"It's okay, left and right are just a sustenance in my heart." Mei Zhuang handed over the lantern in his hand to Caiyue, and Caiyue put it into the water instead.

The mausoleum on one side also leaned down carefully while leaning on the guardrail on the other side, and put his lantern into the water.

The lantern floated up and down with the water waves, and gradually drifted away. Lingrong and Meizhuang clasped their hands together and silently made a wish.

After making the wish, Liuli helped Lingrong up and walked into the fence.

"Sister, it's getting late and the night is cold, why don't we go back earlier." Ling Rong said.

"Okay." Mei Zhuang nodded in agreement.

Ling Rong accompanied Mei Zhuang and walked slowly towards the Xianfu Palace.More and more lanterns lit up on the river, and there were more people.

"It seems that the maids have started to light up the lights, it's so lively." Mei Zhuang said looking at the lights around.

"It's not necessarily a good thing if it's too lively, sister, walk carefully." Ling Rong said softly.

"My lord, why don't we go to the pavilion in front of us to rest for a while before we leave. There are so many people, what if we bump into each other accidentally." Cai Xing, who was beside Mei Zhuang, suggested.

"It's so delicate, it's only a few steps away, let's go back soon." Mei Zhuang said.

"Sister, be careful." Ling Rong saw a young eunuch rushing over at an extremely fast speed, and hurriedly protected Mei Zhuang and walked to the side.

It happened so suddenly and everyone was still in shock, the figure of the little eunuch completely merged into the night and disappeared without a trace.

"Sister, are you alright?" Ling Rong asked while pulling Mei Zhuang.

"It's all right, sister isn't hurt?" Mei Zhuang asked in shock.

"Sister, there are too many people at this time, and there are always some people with evil intentions who want to fish in troubled waters. To be on the safe side, let's go to the pavilion over there to rest first." Lingrong suggested.

"Okay, I'll follow my sister's order." Mei Zhuang nodded in response.

The two of them didn't bring many people with them, and there were only eight people in total, and most of them were delicate young court ladies, so their safety could not be guaranteed.

There was no one in the gazebo, Cai Xing Caiyue supported Mei Zhuang to sit down, Ling Rong also sat on the side, and felt relieved.

"My lord, why don't you bring a few more people with you when you return to the palace, it's safer if there are more people." Cai Xing said softly.

"Alright, you can go, go and come back quickly." Mei Zhuang agreed after thinking for a while.

"Sister, do you want to send someone to call more people?" Mei Zhuang asked while looking at Ling Rong.

"It doesn't matter to me, I can always protect myself. The rest of the palace are not very old, so I'm afraid they won't be of much help." Ling Rong sighed.

"Everything is good at home, it's hard to go out for a day, life in this palace is hard." Mei Zhuang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Come on, it'll be fine if you get over it, you'll grow up." Ling Rong patted Mei Zhuang's hand comfortingly.

"It'll be fine if you don't grow up all the time." Mei Zhuang looked at the lanterns in the river a little lost in thought, Ling Rong didn't answer any more, the two just sat quietly.

After about half an hour or so, a few figures came hurriedly not far away, and they didn't look like they came to put the lamp pots.

"My lord, do you think Caixing and the others are here?" Caiyue said happily.

"According to the time, it should be Caixing, please help me up." Mei Zhuang said.

Seeing Mei Zhuang got up and walked out of the pavilion, Ling Rong also got up to follow, Qing Yu and Liu Li firmly guarded Ling Rong in the middle, and the two young eunuchs followed closely behind.

The lanterns of the visitors were held very low, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.Just when the distance between the two parties was less than two or three zhang, the maid in the lead suddenly slipped and fell into the river without knowing why!

"Help! Help... help..." The palace maid's cry for help threw the whole scene into chaos for an instant, Ling Rong couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Quick! Hurry up and save people!" Mei Zhuang rushed over there anxiously, beckoning the little eunuch beside him to save people.

Ling Rong quickly rushed forward, grabbed Mei Zhuang, and said: "Sister, there are too many people in front of you, sister should not move forward, your body is important."

"But Caixing..." Mei Zhuang said anxiously.

"Sister, it may not be Caixing! Take a step back, even if it is Caixing, my sister is just in a hurry. Let's not hinder them from saving lives, Caiyue, take good care of your little master." Lingrong said calmly .

"Yes." Although Caiyue was also anxious, she still obeyed Lingrong's words, and together with another little maid, she firmly protected Meizhuang in the middle.

At this time, the palace lady who fell into the water had been rescued, so Mei Zhuang walked forward quickly, the person who fell into the water was indeed not Cai Xing, so Mei Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the maid who fell into the water was also helped back by her companions.Ling Rong looked at the maid who fell into the water, and then carefully looked at the other court ladies and eunuchs around. They were all unfamiliar faces, and nothing could be seen.

Both Mei Zhuang and Ling Rong were preoccupied and lost the mood to speak, and walked slowly towards Xianfu Palace silently.

Just when you were about to completely separate from the crowd, an accident happened!Mei Zhuang, who was walking a little ahead, jumped forward suddenly, and was about to fall into the river!Ling Rong saw the figure of a young eunuch passing by Mei Zhuang, and then Mei Zhuang staggered.Ling Rong stepped forward quickly, intending to step forward to rescue him, but felt a pain in his leg, his body fell forward uncontrollably, and he was about to touch Mei Zhuang!

Ling Rong knew that this time he would not be able to get away with his body, and he chose the lesser of two evils. Under the balance, Ling Rong could only twist his body with all his strength, change the direction of his body slightly, and push it to block Mei Zhuang's falling body, Push hard to push Meizhuang to Caiyue.Seeing that Caiyue caught Meizhuang, Ling Rong let himself fall into the water with confidence.

"Little master!" "Sister!" As the mausoleum fell into the water, the shore made a mess.Some tried to rescue, some shouted for help, some ran to find the guards, and some went to report to the emperor, the scene was very chaotic.

Ling Rong in the water didn't have time to pay attention to these things, she was busy saving herself, but her actions were very difficult.In the winter, the clothes were already thick, and the cloak on his body became very heavy when it was soaked in water. Coupled with the heavy flowerpot bottom shoes, Lingrong was struggling, and he could only barely guarantee that he would not be submerged.

Ling Rong himself knows water, and was taught by Tian'er a few years ago and forced to learn it.Although he is not as fast as Tian'er, he can still swim ten feet away.

Ling Rong struggled to kick off the flowerpot shoes on his feet, and took off his cloak, finally feeling a little more relaxed.At this time, Qingyu and several young eunuchs had already stretched out their long poles, and they were only less than ten feet away from Lingrong, and Lingrong swam forward with all his might.Seeing that Ling Rong was about to grab the bamboo pole, there was a splash, but a man dressed as a guard jumped into the water.

The man swam very fast, but he reached Ling Rong in a short while, stretched out his hand and fished towards Ling Rong's waist.Ling Rong's heart shuddered at the moment, and he pulled out the hairpin from his head and slashed across it fiercely.The man let out a muffled snort, paused, and then rushed towards Lingrong again.

At this time, Ling Rong had already grasped the bamboo pole, and the people on the shore also began to pull on the bamboo pole vigorously, and suddenly opened a little distance.But Ling Rong knew very well that that person would catch up soon, and he seemed to be saving people, but what he did was destroying his reputation!While Ling Rong struggled to swim to the shore, he clenched the hairpin tightly in his hand, ready to give that person another hairpin at any time!

While Ling Rong was in fear, Ling Rong heard another sound of diving, and another guard jumped down, which made Ling Rong grit his teeth and could only swim faster, swim faster!

The man who didn't want to go into the water later gave the guard who was chasing after Lingrong a crutch, and then swam towards Lingrong.

Seeing this scene, Ling Rong was stunned for a moment, but still tightly held the hairpin, always on guard.

"Quiet and Qing." The man said two words softly, and then said loudly: "Don't be afraid, little master, the servant is here to save the little master."

As he spoke, he grabbed Ling Rong's arm and rescued Ling Rong ashore, during which Ling Rong didn't struggle to refuse.
