Chapter 153 How did I hear someone calling for help?

The palace maids turned around and were about to leave when Helian Shu called out to them again:

"It's just a small matter. Don't disturb His Highness and the Regent and disturb their enjoyment."

"I understand!"

Several palace maids left in a hurry.

He Lianzhu turned around and held Su Wan's cold hand, his face full of anxiety, but a subtle calculation flashed in his eyes:

"Don't worry, we'll find it. It was just a false alarm."

Xiyan's eyes turned slightly, and she took a few steps back and was about to leave, but was stopped by Helian Shu's sharp voice:

"Stop! Why are you leaving?"

"I will also go and help find the guards."

Xiyan stopped and lowered her eyes to answer.

Helian Shu stepped closer in her gold-embroidered shoes, and her golden armor scraped against the railings, making a harsh sound:

"I don't need you!"

As she spoke, she had already come close to Xi Yan, raised her hand to pinch Xi Yan's chin, and forced her to look at her, with ice in her eyes:

"You are a maidservant in Brother Yan's mansion. I guess you stay by his side day and night?"

Xiyan was pinched so hard by her that it hurt, but she remained calm, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she lowered her eyes to avoid the knife-like gaze:

"The prince is very busy, and this servant is only doing some rough cleaning. How dare I serve him every day?"

"Really? No close combat?"

Helian Shu curled her lips and sneered, then released her hand and ordered:

"Go to the railing and pay attention to the rising and falling positions of the pearl string. They will find someone soon to go into the water and salvage it."

"yes!"

Xiyan responded softly and stepped forward to hold onto the carved railing.

The pleasure boat has now stopped, and the lake is rippling with ripples, reflecting the slanting shadow of the bright sun.

She stared at the direction where the beads had just fallen, and vaguely saw that the beads were floating with the green waves. Because of their light weight, they had not yet sunk to the bottom of the lake.

Helian Mei and Su Wan stared at Xiyan's back, but saw that she was wearing a plain white dress that fluttered like crane feathers in the breeze, and her slender figure was reflected in the waves, which was even more dazzling than the clouds in the sky.

The two looked at each other, with the same jealousy surging in their eyes——

With such an extraordinary temperament, how could she be like a servant who is ordered around by others?

No wonder Xiao Nanyue and Helian Feng both look at her differently!

The two of them exchanged glances unconsciously.

As the sound of footsteps approached, Xiyan stared at the two hideous faces reflected in the lake, which gradually grew larger, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

The wind from the lake blew the scent of cosmetics towards her face. Her fingertips curled slightly and cold sweat seeped out of her palms.

How ridiculous! Xiyan sneered in her heart.

Ever since Helian Shu called her to the stern of the boat to watch the fish, she knew that these two women had bad intentions.

Although she was a lowly maid, she had experienced the blood and rain and the wind and rain. How could she not know whether the other party had the intention to harm her?

Although Xiyan's hands were stained with blood, even if she deserved to die, it was not the turn of these two women who were blinded by jealousy to take action against her.

If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will definitely offend them! Since they are eager to kill her, why should she be polite?

Just when the two palms were about to touch her back, Xiyan suddenly turned around and stepped back three feet.

Helian Shu and Su Wan were unable to stop in time, and in panic they reached out to hold onto the railing, trying to steady themselves.

But Xiyan suddenly stretched out her toes, hooked Su Wan's skirt, and pulled with force. Su Wan lost her balance and bumped into Helian Shu.

Helian Shu suddenly lost her balance. At the moment of falling, she wanted to grab a foothold for support, but she grabbed Su Wan's arm and pulled Su Wan down directly.

Accompanied by screams one after another, they fell into the lake with a splash like two kites with broken strings.

The water splashed and startled a group of egrets, and the fish fled in all directions.

Xiyan stood at the bow of the boat, watching coldly as Helian Shu and Su Wan struggled desperately in the water.

At this moment, the two men's hair was disheveled, and their gorgeous brocade clothes had soaked up water and become heavy. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

Helian Shu's face turned red from choking, and her sleeves embroidered with gold thread slapped the water surface randomly.

Su Wan had lost her usual dignity, and her screams of terror mixed with the sound of splashing water echoed on the lake.

Xiyan knew that these two people would not die for a while. If she didn't let them suffer a little, they would find ways to harm her in the future.

However, at this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded on the deck, and Helian Feng's voice was heard:

"Why did the pleasure boat stop? What are you guys doing at the stern?"

"Your Highness, Miss Su's beads accidentally fell into the water, and I have ordered my servants to salvage them."

"Why do I hear someone calling for help?"

Xiyan's heart skipped a beat:

Why did Helian Feng suddenly appear?

She caught a glimpse of the fading struggle in the water, gritted her teeth, put her hands on the railing, and jumped into the water.

Then, he imitated the two women in the water, thrashing around and shouting desperately:

"Hurry... hurry up! The princess and Miss Su fell into the water, help... help them!"
