Story of the Forbidden Palace - C50
If he had believed me from the beginning, if he had insisted on investigating and wanted me to summon witnesses to confront him, how could Tian Er have died a miserable death? It was difficult to calm down with a stifled heart.
The autumn ended and winter arrived, and everything was in a state of depression. On the other hand, Shang Lin Garden was not affected in the slightest. The newly cultivated flowers were colorful and had all sorts of colors. It was all a picture scroll filled with the liveliness of spring.
Yun Long insisted on bringing me around the imperial flower garden. I was too tired to think about anything else. Ever since Tian Er disappeared, I rarely smiled, especially when I thought of her innocent smile, my heart felt as uncomfortable as a cat’s paw.
“Mufei, look, there’s even a lotus seed over there! Shall I go and pick one? ” Yun Long was in high spirits, and since I didn’t want to spoil his mood, I nodded: “Be careful.” Yun Long happily replied and followed the two young eunuchs to play together.
I looked down at a pool of blue water. Occasionally, a breeze would blow across the surface of the water, causing a small ripple. After the ripples disappeared, everything returned to normal. What glitter, it seems to me is only a mirage.
“Young Mistress.” Ning Zhi whispered into my ear. “It’s the Emperor.” I shivered slightly and raised my head to meet Xuanyuan’s gentle gaze. It was just that the sweetness in his smile was only directed at Noble Consort Mian.
The Noble Consort Mian who was leaning against the Xuanyuan arm was shining brightly, that intoxicated smile of hers was filled with happiness. Seeing it was me made him frown slightly, but then she smiled as usual.
As hiding was impossible, he could only muster up the courage to walk forward and respectfully say, “This concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty and Noble Consort Mian.” Young Mistress. ” I gently called out to him, but I still humbly kowtowed. In his heart, he naturally understood that he had to pay his respects to the Emperor first, and his concubines first.
Xuan Yuan’s smile was clearly slightly stiff, but it did not stop immediately. Noble Consort Mian naturally saw through it and replied cleverly: “Little sister QIngqing is frail, there is no need to be so courteous.”
I smiled and was about to kneel down when I heard a high-pitched voice shouting, “Someone come quickly, Fourth Prince has fallen into the water …” “Someone come quickly …”
“Yun Long!” My heart couldn’t help but tighten. I didn’t care about my manners as I directly dashed towards the water’s edge. Ning Zhi panicked as she followed me and ran. The golden hairpin pendant on my head made me feel uncomfortable. My hair bun was also swaying from side to side.
Thus, he pulled out the golden hairpin and threw it on the ground. His hair was loose, but he was able to run easily. On the surface of the lake, Yun Long was struggling with great difficulty.
“Get out of the way.” “I pushed away the eunuch in front of me and jumped into the water.” Young Mistress, be careful! ” Ning Zhi was terrified, even her voice went out of tune.
The lakewater at the end of autumn was slightly cold, so cold that even a chill ran through his heart. I struggled to swim to Yun Long’s side, lifting him up from the water, I struggled to swim to the lakeside.
Fortunately, Yun Long had fallen into the water not far from the lake’s edge. In a few steps, he was able to swim over. Xuan Yuan had already sent people to help him, and a few imperial guards had jumped into the water to rescue him.
The pitiful Yun Long had already fainted from choking. Once he landed, I impatiently shook him: “Yun Long, wake up, don’t scare mufei.” I swayed and cried, unable to control my panic.
He suddenly recalled the common sense of first aid. He should first understand that the drowning man’s stomach was full of water. If it still wasn’t enough, then he would need to use artificial respiration. He folded his hands on Yun Long’s abdomen and pressed down on it rhythmically, from his abdomen to his chest.
As expected, a mouthful of sewage sprayed out from Yun Long’s mouth. I cried tears of joy: “Yun Long, wake up quickly, look at mufei.” Yun Long seemed to have heard my call, as he weakly opened his eyes and fainted.
