145 Saved Her Life

With a plop, Zhao Yingying’s figure quickly fell into the lake.

“Yingying! Someone save Yingying! Someone come over, someone come over quickly!” Zhao Panpan’s face was pale and bloodless. She fell to the ground, weeping. It was as if she had lost her pillar of support. Her thin and weak body was trembling slightly, making people feel pity for her.

The emperor happened to appear at the corner and had a clear view of Zhao Panpan’s appearance. From his line of sight, he saw Zhao Panpan’s most beautiful appearance.

The crown prince, who was following behind the emperor, heard the call for help and quickly shouted, ” “Save her, quickly save her!” As soon as he finished speaking, a guard jumped into the water. At this time, the two people in the water struggled. However, there were no signs of them after a moment, and they sank straight down.

The emperor finally came back to his senses and helped Zhao Panpan up before the crown prince did. He took off his cloak and put it on Zhao Panpan.

When the crown prince saw this, he paused.

“Don’t worry, your sisters will be safe and sound. The guards who went into the water are very good at swimming.” The emperor glanced at Zhao Panpan’s trembling eyelashes. Her lips and tongue were also pale as if she had been frightened. Zhao Panpan’s legs seemed to have gone soft as she weakly leaned into the emperor’s arms.

The girls behind Zhao Panpan bit their lips. No matter how they looked at this scene, it did not feel right. Zhao Panpan was clearly close to the crown prince, but… Was the emperor expressing his concern for his future daughter-in-law on the crown prince’s account? However, looking at Zhao Panpan’s posture of sticking close to the emperor, no matter how one looked at it, it made one feel uncomfortable.

The crown prince frowned and coughed.

“She’s saved, she’s saved!” Just as the crown prince was about to take Zhao Panpan from the emperor, he heard a guard shouting from the lake and dragging a girl to the shore.

It was already dark. The nanny in charge of teaching in the Flower Stream Palace Hall apologized with a sullen face, and then returned to the palace with the girls on the shore. A guard was dragging Tong’er, his face full of pain. It did not look like he was dragging a little girl, but a huge mountain.

“Your Majesty, this girl… seems to have stopped breathing.” The imperial physician who had been waiting on the side rushed over to treat her. He saw that Tong’er’s lips were white, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was pale.

“Emperor, just now when this subordinate was pulling this young lady to the shore, it seemed like there was something in the water that was pulling her and not letting go. This subordinate was almost pulled down.” The guard was a little hesitant. He glanced at Tong’er’s feet, then instantly looked away, a little scared. The talk of ghosts and gods was a taboo in the palace, but he had indeed felt a pulling force just now.

“Miss Zhao Yingying… also drowned to death.” The imperial physician took a look and gave both Tong’er and Zhao Yingying death certificates. The female doctors were still giving first aid to Tong’er and Zhao Yingying. Although ancient first aid techniques could not be compared to modern first aid, there was still a chance to save people from the line of life and death.

“Take off their shoes and take a look,” the emperor said with a frown. Suddenly, a palace maid stepped forward to take off Tong’er’s shoes. Her ankles were bruised. The air seemed to freeze for a moment. The bruise on Tong’er’s ankles really looked like something was pulling them.

At this moment, the female doctor who was giving Zhao Yingying first aid undid her clothes, and a small and delicate silk bag suddenly fell down. The tightly tied mouth of the silk bag suddenly loosened.

“Cough, cough, cough!” The female doctor was about to give up on giving Zhao Yingying first aid, but she did not expect Zhao Yingying, who had stopped breathing, to suddenly choke on water. Her whole body began to tremble, and this seemed to have some kind of reaction. Tong’er, who was lying side by side, also coughed violently. The two of them were pale as if they had just escaped from the gates of hell, but at least they had managed to keep their lives.

Zhao Yingying, who had just woken up, was a little dumbfounded. She had never encountered such a thing in her previous life! Tong’er’s eyes were also a little muddled. She blinked as if something was different.

“Fill up the lake.” The emperor took a deep look at the lake in the imperial garden. After giving a few instructions, he left with the crown prince.

“Yingying, you scared me to death. Mother told me to take good care of you. It’s all my fault. I was too stupid to let you fall into the lake.” Zhao Panpan’s tears fell, “Yingying, thank God you’re fine. If something happened to you, how am I going to explain it to big brother and future sister-in-law…”

Zhao Panpan blamed herself all the way until the three of them returned to the Flower Stream Palace Hall. Zhao Panpan’s face was still filled with guilt and self-blame, and Tong’er was much less talkative than before. There was something wrong with her entire being.
