On the full moon banquet for her child, the devastating news arrived that her husband had died on the battlefield. Sheng Xiyan fell into the abyss.
The prince's mansion bullied the orphan...
"It seems to be over there at Yuhu!"
On the gravel road near Yuhu Bridge, Xuan Ling, with three children, heard shouting from the front and ordered, "Go see what's going on."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
An imperial guard ran quickly to the edge of Jade Lake.
Jiang Jiang and Le Wen squatted down and played with ants with sticks. Xuan Ling also stopped, as if he heard someone shouting "fall into the water".
I thought that the guardrail of the stone bridge above Yu Lake was not too high, but it was not too low either. Which idiot fell into the water?
The imperial guard came running back, "Your Majesty, it was Lady Sheng who fell into the lake."
Xuan Ling hesitated for a moment, then ran away, and the imperial guards followed closely behind him as they ran towards the crowded area beside Yu Lake.
Xuan Ling stopped at the guardrail where Sheng Xiyan had just fallen into the water. He didn't believe that Sheng Xiyan would fall into the lake.
Gao Shurong shouted, "Your Majesty, Sister Sheng fell into the lake!"
Hua Xia also shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, please save the young lady."
Xuan Ling quickly walked to the guardrail and looked down. There was a black spot struggling on the huge lake surface.
"Your Majesty, we servants will go down and rescue Young Master Sheng right now."
Before the guard could finish his words, Xuan Ling had already jumped up quickly, stepped on the guardrail at an astonishing speed, and then jumped down without hesitation.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!" In an instant, countless imperial guards shouted in unison. They followed Xuan Ling's footsteps and jumped off the guardrails one after another.
At the same time, dozens of dark guards in black robes in the air quickly jumped into the Jade Lake like ghosts.
Everyone on the high guardrail was extremely nervous, their eyes fixed on the lake below.
In the Imperial Garden, Concubine Liang was extremely anxious and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I will go and see what has happened."
Seeing this, Concubine Jia also clamored to join in the fun.
Empress Duan was pregnant and had difficulty moving, so she had to stay where she was.
Concubine Shu comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm sure nothing serious will happen."
But Queen Duan felt that her right eye was twitching abnormally, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
He asked anxiously, "Where is Lewen? Are the three children with the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, one stick of incense ago, the Emperor left the Yangxin Palace with the princess, the eldest prince, and the young master."
Upon hearing the news, Queen Duan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a palace maid ran over in panic and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, this is terrible!"
"Tell me, who fell into the Jade Lake?"
"It was Miss Sheng who fell into the Jade Lake, and then the Emperor jumped in to save her!"
Upon hearing the news, Empress Duan and Concubine Shu were both extremely shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Concubine Shu exclaimed, "How is this possible? The Emperor is responsible for the country and the people. How could he jump into the lake to save a woman?"
Empress Duan was anxious and stood up quickly, saying, "No, I have to go see how the emperor is doing."
As soon as she stood up, Concubine Shu secretly winked at Hongxiu who was standing beside her.
Qingdai supported Queen Duan as they walked forward. Because Queen Duan's belly was already very big and her skirt was very long, it completely blocked Qingdai's sight.
At this moment, Queen Duan suddenly felt unstable on her feet, lost her balance, and was about to fall.
Concubine Shu was quick-witted and quickly stretched out her arms to catch the queen.
The two fell to the ground together. Concubine Shu screamed "Ah" and fell heavily to the ground.
The queen was held firmly by her and was not hit. Instead, she sat on her.
"Empress!" Hongxiu shouted loudly when she saw this.
Qingdai and other palace maids hurried forward and helped Queen Duan up.
Empress Duan asked with concern, "Sister Shufei, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Concubine Shu held her waist with her hands and replied painfully: "As long as the Queen and the dragon fetus are fine, I will be fine..."
Hongxiu slowly helped her up and shouted, "Blood! Your back is scratched and bleeding!"
Empress Duan immediately ordered, "Quickly call the imperial physician and bring the stretcher to take Concubine Shu back to Zhongcui Palace."
Scared to death, Empress Duan no longer dared to go to crowded places. She stroked her pregnant belly and said, "Let's go see what's going on over at Yuhu."
"Yes, my lady."
In the Jade Lake, the calm surface of the lake was covered with ripples because Xuan Ling jumped down.
The place where he dived was some distance away from Sheng Xiyan, and at this moment he swam towards her anxiously.
She had slowly sunk to the bottom of the water. Xuan Ling's heart instantly tightened and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
At the same time, the dozen or so guards who followed Xuan Ling into the water followed closely beside him, always keeping vigilant and protective.
The secret guard who dived into the water suddenly lifted Sheng Xiyan out of the water and quickly held her high in front of Xuan Ling.
"Yan Yan!"
Xuan Ling quickly reached out to take Sheng Xiyan, who had fallen into a coma due to drowning.
At this time, the dragon boat, under the control of the commander of the imperial guards, rowed quickly over and stopped in front of them.
"Your Majesty, please get on board quickly." The commander of the imperial guards said respectfully.
Xuan Ling carried Sheng Xiyan onto the dragon boat and carefully laid her flat on the wooden board in the cabin.
I pressed the area below her chest with both hands. After several consecutive presses, some water came out from the corners of her mouth.
"Yanyan! Wake up!"
Although Sheng Xiyan vomited out the accumulated water, she still hadn't woken up, and Xuan Ling was extremely anxious.
So, he leaned over, gently pressed his thin lips against her pale lips, and blew air into them.
After many attempts, Sheng Xiyan finally coughed in her throat and gradually regained consciousness.
The moment she fell into the water from a high place was extremely fast. After entering the water, she struggled for a few times before sinking to the bottom of the lake. Her mind went blank and she thought she was going to die.
