But after a while, Marquis Yongning rushed to the backyard with a few servants, and saw the princess sitting on a soft couch in the hexagonal flying pavilion near the lake, with a group of people waiting, including Jia Zhen, Youshi, and Jia More than ten people in the house, including Feng Ziying, knelt on the ground, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze; only Mrs. You was still mourning and crying, and no one could persuade her; everyone pitied her for losing her daughter, so they let her go .

Seeing Hou Yongning coming over, the princess sneered and asked, "Master Hou is here? The people in Ningguo Mansion said that Lord Hou allowed them to enter the water garden. Is this really true? When will the back garden of our house not only entertain guests, but Are you going to recruit thieves? People have been killed now, and this is all the fault of Lord Hou! The emperor came here to play a few days ago. If the emperor happened to be here today, what should I say? Hou Do you want our mother and son to be buried with you?"

This is a serious statement. The Marquis of Yongning is actually Feng Ziying's cousin who has not yet served. He knelt on the ground in fright, "Princess, there is another story about this matter; a few days ago, the princess posted a post to Duke Ning's mansion, His family's wife and two wives and sisters were invited to be guests, and Feng Ziying, the younger brother of the family, happened to be nearby. After hearing this, he asked the minister, why don't you invite some of the children of Ningguo Mansion to come together, enjoy the flowers in the lake, and drink for fun? One thing? After hearing this, I thought, since they are all a family anyway, and since I am about to return to Beijing to take up a post, it would be a good idea to make friends with some nobles in Beijing, so I agreed to them."

The princess snorted, "Since that's the case, why didn't you report it to me? Instead, you want to be a ghost? Now people are killed in my backyard, what do you want others to say about me?"

Marquis Yongning hurriedly kowtowed again, "I didn't think carefully about this matter, and I didn't know that such a thing would happen; now I have sent many people to salvage it, and it is not too deep to grow water chestnuts in the back lake. The two girls will be fine!" He carefully raised his head and glanced at his wife, seeing her winking at him, he was completely relieved, so he quickly stood up and supported her, "Princess, don't be angry, be careful I'm so angry; since this matter happened in our house, I will definitely investigate and find out, even if I report it to Yousi, I have to get rid of our problems, princess, don't worry!"

The princess sighed, and stood up with his support, still frowning deeply: "Let's just leave it at that. It's really disappointing that I've invited guests so hard to make such a situation; besides, then Miss You San is your benefactor, no matter what, we have to make decisions for her; if she is okay, that's fine, if there is something wrong, see if I can spare any of you!" She flicked her sleeves, resentfully away.

Jia Zhen and the others got up from the ground at this moment, looked at each other, and were all surprised, only Feng Ziying had a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the two sisters jumped into the lake, Xiuying plunged into the bottom of the water. First, she stretched her body and adapted to the temperature of the lake. Then she pushed forward and supported the second sister You who was sinking slowly. Dive towards the shore, but fortunately she is a good swimmer.

The lake area covered with water chestnut lotus is indeed very shallow, especially not long after the boat sailed out, Xiuying supported her second sister and swam for more than ten meters at the bottom of the water, and then returned to the dense lotus leaves. After taking a deep breath, she dived into the water again, and lifted the second sister's head out of the water; the second sister immediately spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and was about to cry and cough, when she was pushed back into the water by Xuan Ying, "Shut up." , beware of being discovered!"

After several times like this, the second sister finally learned to hold her breath to take a breath and spit out water. Only then did Xiuying let her raise her head out of the water; only then did she have time to look around, but found that she was still far away from the shore. Do you have the strength to drag the second sister up?

While in a hurry, she saw a nimble figure pulling out the lotus leaf from Qingling Bibo, and swam over quickly. When she got close, she realized that it was Zhou Cheng, the servant!

"Zhou Cheng?" Xu Ying couldn't believe it, "Why did you come here?"

"I came to Beijing more than a month ago. Mr. Liu brought me here. He said he didn't know how to swim and asked me to help. After the girl's letter was delivered, I went in and out of this water area. Familiar with the situation here; swim southeast from here for more than forty feet, there is a section of underwater stone steps leading to an old water garden, let's hide there."

"Young Master Liu? Is he also on the boat?" Xiuying asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, otherwise, why do you think that the boat from Prince Zhongshun passed by here by such a coincidence? He arranged all of these, Mr. Liu was very thoughtful, he let the boat wait in the water garden over there early; you let it out They all saw the numbered arrow, so they came here in a hurry; Mr. Liu reminded me, even if you know how to swim, I must follow you, just in case something happens; he is a careful person! "

"Why did the palace's ship listen to his arrangement?" Although Xiuying knew that Zhou Cheng would not lie, she still had some doubts.

"I don't know about that. That old water garden is where Master Fu said he could settle down." Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said, he lived with Fu Shan in the guild hall all this time, and saw Fu Shan's personality Prestige and status, I also secretly clicked my tongue in my heart, and said that my girl was very lucky to find such a capable and background master.

"It's still a long way to get there, I'm almost out of strength, can we get my sister there?" Xiuying asked again worriedly.

"No problem, in the water, people and things are very light, and I'm ready!" Zhou Cheng said as he untied the thick burlap bag tied to his back, grinning, "I Even this is prepared, if you hold your breath in the water, you will be tied up!" Because the second sister can't swim, Xiu Ying has made various preparations, including feeding her when she enters the water for fear of choking on the water The breath-holding pill, at this time, the effect of the medicine gradually took effect, and the second sister's body softened, and Xu Ying felt no pulse at all, just like a person who died of drowning, but her body was still warm.

"It's ok, I'll find a way to wake her up when I get to a safe place; she's afraid of water, and when she gets to deep water, she'll inevitably panic and struggle to survive, and it will implicate us at that time, so it's better to be quiet " As she spoke, Xiu Ying wrapped her wet gauze sleeves around her arms, and in order not to attract attention, she even folded a few lotus leaves and put them on her head. Then she said to Zhou Cheng, "Okay, let's go!"

After swimming for a while, Zhou Cheng suddenly reminded her in a low voice, "Girl, it seems that someone has come into the water to catch you, and they pulled it out more than once; there are three or four people over there, holding small bamboo rafts, and using long poles to explore the bottom of the water." "There is also a group of small boats fishing on the lake with big nets; on the southeast waterway we are going to, there is only one person looking for it in the water; what shall we do?"

It's no wonder that his observation skills underwater are so good. The two poked their heads out from under the lotus leaf and watched for a while. Finally, Xiu Ying saw who the man was, and couldn't help smiling, "So it's him. That's fine." , let's just go there; when you get near him, you pretend to be weak and ask him to help; if he asks your identity, you just say that you are from the princess mansion. By the way, remember, put The second sister was handed over to him, and he was asked to take the second sister ashore."

"What about you, girl? Also, shall we go to the water garden over there?" Zhou Cheng asked puzzled.

"Don't mention it first, let's see what he says; since he appeared here, it must not be a coincidence, let's let it take its course; as for me, don't worry, I will show up at the right time." Thinking that it might be Liu Xianglian After arranging all of this, Xuanying smiled slightly. This idea is not very good, but there is no other way.

"Okay!" Zhou Cheng was unambiguous, and immediately took the second sister to swim forward. Seeing that they were gradually approaching the place where Chen Jing was diving, Xiuying turned around and hid in the lotus leaves.

Chen Jing put his head out of the water to take a breath, he felt something moving underwater, immediately became vigilant, asked: "Who is it?" and dived into the water again.

Under the water, he immediately saw a young man swimming over with a woman in his arms. This young man was also wearing a full-length swimsuit. When he saw him, he asked in a clear voice: "But Prince Zhongshun's mansion helped save people? I'm from the Princess Mansion." My lord, I only found one here, please help me, my lord, I have no strength." Then, regardless of Chen Jing's answer or not, he pushed the second sister over, "I have to go back and find another one, my lord. You take this girl ashore first!"

"Huh?" Before Chen Jing had time to react, he was hugged by Ruan Yu Wen Xiang, and he had to hug him. When he went to take a closer look, the boy had already swam away quickly, and Chen Jing called out several times behind him. The young man pretended not to hear the sound, and he never even saw his face clearly.

Chen Jing was helpless, when he lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, he saw that under the glistening water, the woman's skin was as smooth as fat, her eyebrows were as long as picturesque, her lips as vermilion, she was extremely beautiful, and her long hair like seaweed was floating In the water, only his eyes were closed tightly, and his whole body was limp; he couldn't help but listen to her breath, feeling completely unresponsive, and then realized that she was a drowning person , hurriedly restrained his mind, and took the second sister to swim forward.

Although there were ripples in his heart, he was a person who knew the importance, so he still took his second sister to swim back to the boat of Prince Zhongshun; Above: Lord Zhongshun is the prince of the older generation and the uncle of Princess Xuanyang. After Fu Shan came to Beijing, he occasionally came in and out of this mansion.

With the help of everyone on board, Chen Jing finally carried the second sister onto the boat, and saw Liu Xianglian and Fu Shan coming out of the cabin; Chen, with her curves exposed, Fu Shan immediately took his own clothes to help her cover; seeing that the second sister was pale, he hurriedly felt her pulse again, then opened her eyelids to look, and then he was slightly relieved. "It doesn't matter. She will slowly wake up after I give the injections. The most important thing now is to change her clothes and let her spit out the sewage in her stomach."

He was the one who gave Xiuying the pill for holding her breath, and of course he knew how to relieve it; it's just that the second sister held her breath in the water for a long time, and she still needs to recuperate for a few more days.

"Here, we don't have any female relatives on board, so how do we change her clothes? Otherwise, we will send her to the princess mansion right away?" Chen Jing asked anxiously.

"No, don't hurry to send it over; I just heard from the people in the Princess Mansion that the people from the Fangjia Mansion, the Marquis of Yongning, came in from the water garden. Now the Princess is losing her temper, and the people from the Jia Mansion are still there. What is the situation next to it? Besides, you must know the reputation of the two fathers and sons in Ningguo Mansion; the two girls who were forced to jump into the lake are their relatives and sisters-in-law, so you can see how unbearable they are! Sending people back, isn't this sending sheep to the tiger's mouth?" Liu Xianglian blamed authentically.

"What, what should I do?" Chen Jing was anxious, and looked at Fu Shan, "Master Fu, you must be able to save her, can't you?" Reminiscent of the joke that Su Ying made with him, he suddenly understood what was going on Now, seeing that this sister is not only beautiful, but also so virtuous, his heart couldn't help jumping up in his chest; so far he finally understands what literati often mean when they say love at first sight; he admits , from what I have seen and known, I have never seen such a stunning woman in my life.

However, he vaguely felt that he seemed to be calculated, otherwise there would not be so many coincidences.He was the one who was going to leave immediately after he came to the palace, but was forced to stay by Liu Xianglian for two or three days, and then they tricked him out to swim in the lake; it was his voluntary thing to go into the water to save people, but also because he knew it was You The two sisters of his family, he was willing to go into the water so happily; the person who rescued the second sister and claimed to be the princess's mansion looked like a half-grown child, and he didn't know him, why would he be so relieved to put people in the water? into his arms?

"Don't worry," Fu Shan gave him a reassuring look, and called to the cabin, "Huanlian, come and help me."

Because she had to abide by the rules of the Central Plains, she couldn't show her face in public, so Mao Huanlian could only hide in the cabin. At this time, she saw the master calling her, so she got out of the cabin; After struggling to pick up the second sister, Fu Shan confessed, "We have rescued a drowning woman before, you should know how to do it, right?"

Mao Huanlian nodded, carried her second sister into the cabin, Chen Jing hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Liu Xianglian, "There is a difference between men and women, they have to change clothes in the cabin, why are you following in? "

Chen Jing rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and then asked worriedly: "Can I be rescued? I watched her two sisters jump into the water. It's been a while. This girl can't swim. She should Will not have any problems?"

"Don't worry, my master said he can be saved, so he will be saved!" Liu Xianglian smiled at him, and was about to talk to Fu Shan, but was caught by Chen Jing again, "Sister You couldn't find it, either. Why do I see that you are not worried at all?" Now that you have doubts.He wants to see how Liu Xianglian treats him perfunctorily.

"She never needs me to worry; everything she has to do must be arranged. A long time ago, she told me how difficult the two sisters were going through, I didn't understand; she said again, things No matter how much, it is better to cut the mess quickly, so as to avoid future troubles forever; she also knows that this matter is risky, but she and her sister are willing to bear all this, since death is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of?" Although Liu Xianglian He was still smiling, but he seemed to be thinking of something, and tears gradually came to his eyes. He was afraid that Chen Jing would see the joke, so he hurriedly turned his head aside, and finally calmed down.

"So that's how it is." Chen Jing also fell silent. After all, with his shrewdness, he had already realized that today's affairs were full of strange words, which seemed very unusual; he even suspected at one point that he was being tricked. No, even if Second Sister You is really beautiful; but he can't just let others trick him.

When Liu Xianglian said this, he roughly understood; although the matter was complicated, it was still reasonable, and Liu Xianglian's frankness also surprised him. Thinking about it.Liu Xianglian is right, things seem to be arranged, but there are so many unknown risks involved, they can be regarded as going all out, which is also admirable; the most important thing is that they are in full view of everyone. Next, expose the ugly deeds of the two father and son in the Ningguo Mansion to the public. Afterwards, whether it is the censor's shock, or the princess's anger, the emperor scolds them, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

As for how to deal with this matter, the initiative is completely in their hands.Thinking of this, Chen Jing's doubts disappeared, and he put his arms around Liu Xianglian's shoulders, "Let's go, let's go see if Second Sister is awake."

Liu Xianglian was a little restless, so she broke away angrily, "Go if you want, don't drag me, the third sister hasn't come up yet!"
