Chapter 124 The adulterer slapped the fake heiress.

"Rou'er—" Prince Yun cried out in pain, reaching out to pull her up, but he couldn't even touch a piece of her clothes.

The two guards immediately lunged forward, but they were falling too fast, and in the blink of an eye, with a 'plop,' the two women fell into the icy, frigid lake...

Everyone rushed to the lakeside, and chaos ensued.

The servants and guards, who had been screaming in panic, immediately rushed into the lake to rescue the people.

Cao Rou'er and Li Qingzhu were struggling and drowning in the water...

Just then, Li Qingluo heard a familiar voice calling out, "Zhu'er! Zhu'er—"

She looked up and saw Li Kechuan on the other side of the lake!

Why did he also come to the princess's residence?

At this moment, Li Kechuan looked extremely anxious. He managed to stand up on one leg while supporting himself with his wheelchair, but then he fell back onto the shore.

Even so, he still reached out, gazing into the lake and repeatedly shouting, "Pearl, Pearl—Pearl, please don't let anything happen to you—"

The people around him were all directed by him to jump into the water, even though he was clearly quite far from where they were going to fall in.

Li Qingluo's eyes were filled with mockery.

What a devoted brother he is, sharing both good times and bad.

Li Qingluo noticed another man beside Li Kechuan, who was about thirty years old and was anxiously gazing at the lake with Li Kechuan.

Li Qingluo asked Pei Nanjia beside her, "Who is that person? Do you know?"

Pei Nanjia glanced at it.

She knows who Li Kechuan is.

Therefore, he immediately knew who Li Qingluo was asking about.

"Pan Li's father, General Pan."

So, it was through the prince consort's connections that Pan's father brought Li Kechuan into the princess's residence today?

But what was he doing at the princess's residence?

Since breaking his leg, Li Kechuan has never left his house again!

Because of his extreme inferiority complex, he doesn't allow his friends to visit him, but today he not only went out, but also met with people.

Li Qingluo turned around and spotted Granny Deng in the crowd.

After Granny Deng squeezed through, she immediately whispered a few instructions to her.

Granny Deng nodded, turned around, and quickly disappeared...

Li Qingya and Li Qingyu both squeezed next to Li Qingluo.

Both of them asked Li Qingluo with great concern, "Second sister, what should we do? Will eldest sister be alright?"

Li Qingluo said calmly, "Don't worry, the Princess will not allow any girl to die in this Princess's residence."

As soon as Li Qingluo finished speaking, the servants and guards had already rescued Cao Rou'er and Li Qingzhu and brought them ashore.

The lake water was so cold in early winter that it was impossible to swim in, so they shivered as soon as they came up.

Prince Yun had already quickly arrived at the lakeside.

He scooped up the nearly unconscious Cao Rou'er and cried out, "Rou'er, Rou'er!?"

"Sister, please help me quickly call the imperial physician!"

No sooner had Prince Yun finished shouting than someone pointed at Cao Rou'er and exclaimed, "Heavens! Blood, it's blood!!"

Li Qingluo was also startled.

Upon closer inspection, she saw that blood was continuously spreading beneath Cao Rou'er.

Cao Rou'er cried out in a daze, "My child... save the child in my womb... Your Highness, please save our flesh and blood..."

Prince Yun stared blankly at the scene, completely speechless.

Li Qingzhu was sitting on the other side, coughing violently and spitting out water.

She was stunned when she heard the noise from this side.

But in reality, only she knew that she was ecstatic inside!

Cao Rou'er, you slut!

Now how can you be so cocky?

Originally, her argument with Cao Rou'er was just an act.

It was because the prince saw that she probably couldn't escape today, and for the sake of her reputation, he arranged for the two of them to deliberately fight.

But as they argued, they also developed genuine feelings for each other.

She already hated Cao Rou'er intensely; it was Cao Rou'er who stole her prince first!

Clearly, Li Qingzhu and the prince were truly in love and devoted to each other, yet she insisted on becoming the prince's bedmate first!

She was just a concubine, nothing more than a plaything!

They even dared to show off in front of Li Qingzhu.

So, she really did it on purpose, deliberately pulling Cao Rou'er down with her!

She knew that there was a lake below, and if Cao Rou'er fell into the lake, it was uncertain whether the child could be saved today!

really……

Li Qingzhu lowered her head, suppressing the madness and ecstasy in her eyes.

However, Prince Yun walked up to her and slapped her hard across the face.

"ah--!!"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

Everyone saw this.

Li Qingzhu sat blankly on the ground, mumbling incoherently without being able to utter a single word.

But her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"I...I..."

Prince Yun pointed at her nose, but said harshly, "If anything happens to my Rou'er today, or if anything happens to my child, I will never forgive you!"

Li Qingzhu was so shocked that she slumped to the ground, her face drained of all color.

Your Highness, are you serious?

Were all those words he said truly sincere?

Just because of the unborn child in Cao Rou'er's womb, he was so heartless to treat her like this?

He can have as many children as he wants; I can have them all for him in the future!

Li Qingzhu wanted to shout those words out loud, but she dared not and could not at this moment.

When she met the King of Shangyun's resentful and angry gaze, a trace of fear and regret finally crept into her heart.

Is the prince truly angry this time?

It seems she acted impulsively and really did something wrong...

"Your Highness, this humble woman..."

Li Qingzhu choked on her words and struggled to speak, but before she could utter a word, Li Kechuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"stop!"

"Pearl, Pearl, are you alright?!"

Li Kechuan quickly propelled his wheelchair, and after everyone made way for him, he finally reached Li Qingzhu's side.

"Zhu'er, come quickly to your brother!"

Li Kechuan reached out his hand with heartache, and when Li Qingzhu saw Li Kechuan, she finally broke down in tears, turned around and hugged Li Kechuan's leg, sobbing.

The crowd also started to make a fuss.

"It's Young Master Li."

"Why is he here? Didn't he break his leg and disappear without a trace?"

"Look, he really has no legs..."

"How pitiful... such a fine young master, turned into this..."

"Shh—! Are you guys crazy? Don't you know how that leg was cut off..."

"They say it's related to His Highness Prince Yun, and also to Li Qingzhu... There were so many rumors circulating back then, I really don't know what's going on..."

"It's already strange enough that Li Qingzhu isn't dead, but today it's also related to His Highness Prince Yun. Are they really not related?"
