"Or do you want me to knock you out and throw you into the carriage?"

"……yes."

Forced by circumstances and not daring to truly provoke this young master, the two guards had no choice but to back down.

Even if they follow a little further away, at least they can keep an eye on things, and if anything happens, they can rush forward in time.

Jiang Xuelin gripped the horse's flanks with her legs, flicked her whip, and charged forward like an arrow.

She remembered that there was a waterfall next to Yuanshan Temple, with a beautiful view and many peach trees planted on both sides. The peach blossoms should be in bloom by now.

After galloping for a while, Jiang Xuelin's mood finally improved. Seeing that her beloved horse seemed a little tired, she slowed down and started trotting.

Many willow trees were planted on both sides of the official road, creating a vibrant scene.

The green willows droop to the ground, and the willow catkins drift and swirl in the sky.

Is this roughly what's happening now? This was the poem Jiang Xuelin heard the handkerchief recite, but she didn't quite remember the last two lines.

"Help……"

Jiang Xuelin broke off a willow branch and swung it around in her hand. She rode her horse at a trot while waiting for the guards and maids behind her to catch up. Just then, she heard a faint cry for help.

Jiang Xuelin stopped swinging the willow branches, frowned, and listened carefully. Confirming that there were indeed cries for help, she patted her beloved horse's head, and the horse, receiving the signal, immediately started running again.

"Help……"

The water below the waterfall was turbulent. Jiang Xuelin saw a person struggling and calling for help in the water from afar, but because the current was too strong, the people behind who wanted to rescue him could not get close to him at all.

The white spray from the waterfall, however, seemed like a deadly ghost, quickly pushing people away.

Jiang Xue was on the shore and only saw the man pop his head up every now and then, struggling and flailing his arms, but it was completely useless and only made him choke on the water more.

In just a short while, the person ran out of strength, and the strength of their struggle weakened. They sank to the bottom for a while before struggling to surface again.

Jiang Xuelin glanced at the other two people who couldn't get close to the person, then looked back at the guards who hadn't come over. She clicked her tongue softly. If she waited for her guards to come over, the person probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

Without much hesitation, saving lives was ultimately more important. Jiang Xuelin threw her cloak onto the horse's back, braced herself with both hands, and leaped out into the water, moving swiftly towards the middle of the river like a nimble fish.

The river water in early spring still carried a lingering chill, but it didn't affect her at all. She quickly reached the person's side, grabbed their arm, and swam back.

At this point, the man was no longer conscious, but he instinctively wanted to cling to Jiang Xuelin as a lifeline, which angered Jiang Xuelin so much that she had to let go of him and grab him by the back of his neck to keep moving.

With great effort, she dragged the person ashore. By this time, her guards and maids had arrived. After Jiang Xuelin got ashore, the maid quickly took the cloak from the horse's back and draped it over Jiang Xuelin, covering her shapely body that appeared even more exquisite as she was soaked to the bone.

"Miss, please return to the carriage first. I'll get you some spare clothes." The maid hadn't expected this to happen. Although it was to save someone, it would be better for her young lady to return to the carriage as soon as possible.

If someone sees this, it will definitely damage her daughter's reputation.

"Yes, I'm all wet and uncomfortable. Let's go back to the carriage first."

The maid was taking care of Jiang Xuelin, while the two guards dragged the man Jiang Xuelin had rescued aside to drain the water.

As soon as they turned the person over to reveal their face, both guards were stunned.

Prince Ping's heir?

“…Young lady, you are the heir apparent of Prince Ping.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuelin, who had already stepped onto the carriage shaft, immediately turned her head to look over.

who?

Fu Hanlai?

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, the two people who had tried to rescue the person in the water finally arrived and anxiously surrounded the person.

Jiang Xuelin was so busy saving people that she didn't notice who it was. Did she end up saving her mortal enemy?

"Thank you, Miss Jiang, for saving my young master!" Seeing their young master wake up after choking on water, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Jiang Xuelin respectfully.

Jiang Xuelin withdrew her foot from the carriage shaft, adjusted her cloak, and looked at the disheveled Fu Hanlai with a forced smile. "That won't be necessary. If I kick him off again, it won't count as me saving him."

Upon hearing this, the two guards, as if facing a formidable enemy, protected Fu Hanlai and took a few steps back. "Miss Jiang, you saved my young master today. The Pingwang Mansion will definitely come to express our gratitude later."

Let's just forget about kicking it down again.

I know you two have a grudge, but it's not to that extent.

It's really not that bad.
