Chapter 296: Not Enough to Fill the Lake
Everyone was stunned.
Even Deng Youning's eyes widened.
Her concern for Li Tianzhuo made her want to go down and save people.
Fortunately, Deng Yan'an grabbed her in time.
"Don't forget that Emperor Nanxin is still here. There are so many Nanxin guards who can go and save him. Why would they need you?"
"If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences!"
Deng Youning was persuaded by him.
The two sides were quite far away from each other, and they didn't hear what Li Tianzhuo and Nan Xinhuang said just now.
Just by looking at it, in the eyes of the Deng family, it was just a woman throwing herself into Li Tianzhuo's arms.
With Li Tianzhuo's lightness skills, he could have easily avoided it, but he hit the railing behind him.
I don’t know why the railing was so flimsy. It broke as soon as they hit it, and both of them fell down.
Seeing the intimacy between Li Tianzhuo and the courtesan in Yihong Courtyard last night, Deng Youning even suspected that the falling into the water scene was a flirting trick between Prince Changle and that girl.
But no matter how she brainwashed herself, she still worried about Li Tianzhuo.
"Cousin, why don't we go over there."
"Prince Changle fell into the water. Even though we are foreign visitors, we should show some concern for him."
Deng Yan'an agreed only after Deng Youning stated that she had no selfish motives.
When they arrived, Li Tianzhuo and the girl had not been fished out yet.
More than ten people have already gone into the water. I don't know what they are doing. It's not a big lake, so why is it so difficult to save two people?
Emperor Nan Xin was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down on the shore. If everyone hadn't stopped him, he would have insisted on going down to save people himself.
"What's going on? The people haven't been rescued yet?"
Deng Youning also couldn't help but get nervous.
She could no longer deceive herself.
The worry about Li Tianzhuo continued to spread like vines.
It took them a full quarter of an hour to walk over from the other side, plus the time they spent discussing things on the other side.
The person hasn't been rescued for such a long time, I'm afraid he must have suffocated to death from choking on the water.
She couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to jump into the lake to save people.
Deng Yan'an and Ying Shi each held one of her arms.
At this moment, a noble lady shouted, "Ah! Look, everyone, why is the lake turning red?"
Everyone followed her gaze and saw that the water on the lake farther away from them was gradually turning red.
There were bubbles on the surface of the water. Such large and dense bubbles could only be formed when people breathe with their lungs underwater.
"Hey, what's that smell? It's so fishy!"
"Like blood!"
After hearing what a few girls said, the Deng family and Emperor Nan Xin rushed over there together.
At that time, Deng Xuelian was pushing Yi Wang's wheelchair, and the couple also rushed over here.
Most of the guards in the palace and the imperial guards brought by the emperor have now gone into the water. Not only is there no movement, but it seems that more people have died.
"What the hell happened underwater?!"
"Why didn't anyone come up to report the news?"
Emperor Nan Xin shouted anxiously.
King Yi was also confused and had no idea what was going on.
Emperor Nan Xin grabbed Prince Yi by the collar, wishing he could pull him out of the wheelchair.
"Boss, take a closer look at the water surface. It's obvious that someone is fighting underwater!"
"This is your Prince Yi's Palace. Have you prepared people underwater to assassinate your brother?"
"I know it now. The woman just now must be your accomplice. Her purpose is to push Tian'er into the water!"
Emperor Nan Xin’s mind was also working rapidly.
Prince Yi had almost no way to defend himself, after all, the accident happened in his house.
Deng Youning, who had no idea what had just happened here, had not thought of this yet.
Emperor Nan Xin's words also reminded her.
If there really was an assassin lying in ambush under the water, waiting to kill Li Tianzhuo, the guards in the palace and the soldiers of the imperial guards who had only mediocre skills would not be enough to fill the lake!
What's more, everyone knows that Prince Changle has been drinking heavily for many days.
If someone poisoned him underwater, Ah Zhuo would have no way out but death!
"No, cousin, please let me go down and save him."
"Today is the last time, so just give us a good beginning and a good end."
"No matter whether he is dead or alive today, I will go back to Dongji with you!"
"I, Deng Youning, will never go back on my word."
Deng Youning pushed Deng Yan'an's hand, which was tightly grasping her wrist, with a pleading tone.
She knew that Deng Yan'an was doing this for her own good and she didn't want to disobey her brother.
Looking at the bloodstains on the water surface becoming thicker and thicker, Deng Yan'an finally let go of her hand.
Li Tianzhuo is definitely in great danger now.
He knew that if Ningning or he did not take action, Li Tianzhuo might really die.
"I'll go with you."
"Yingshi, go get us some spare clothes."
Deng Yan'an made arrangements in advance.
Deng Youning did not refuse.
The brother and sister jumped into the lake to save people in full view of everyone.
Emperor Nan Xin, Prince Yi, Deng Xuelian, and everyone present, both in the open and in the dark, were stunned.
This was the second time they witnessed Princess Dongji risking her own life to save Prince Changle.
The first time was when I encountered a tiger during a hunt.
Emperor Nan Xin slumped over the railing.
Is it really his fault?
He really shouldn't break up these lovers who have shared life and death together.
Moreover, as the Princess of Dongji, if Deng Youning did not care about the territory of Nanqin and was willing to help Tianer wholeheartedly, she would be the most beneficial virtuous wife for Tianer!
There are more and more bubbles on the water surface.
The Deng brothers and sisters were also shocked after they went into the water.
The surroundings were filled with corpses of the guards and imperial guards of Prince Yi's palace. Li Tianzhuo had already fainted. Xiu Ming held him, preventing him from sinking, and struggled to fight against at least twenty or thirty masked assassins in black.
Seeing the Deng brothers and sisters coming to help, Xiu Ming's face showed a relaxed smile.
He couldn't talk underwater, so he could only smile at them.
Deng Yan'an picked up a scimitar from the bottom of the water, swam towards the men in black and fought with them.
He grew up in Qingzhou, Dongji, which is close to the sea. He is a good swimmer and has practiced underwater combat in Qianji Villa, so his fighting ability has not been affected at all.
Xiu Ming handed Li Tianzhuo to Deng Youning and gestured with his hands, saying that he seemed to be poisoned.
Knowing that he had been soaking in the water for too long, Deng Youning casually gave him a breath of air, and bit the tip of her tongue, inserting it between his lips and teeth, so that he could drink her blood to detoxify.
Li Tianzhuo's Adam's apple rolled slightly and his eyelashes began to flutter.
Sensing that Deng Youning had arrived, he took advantage of his unconsciousness to deepen the kiss.
He knew very well that this might be the last time he kissed her.
Deng Youning felt that Li Tianzhuo had woken up and quickly pushed him away.
Even if you want to kiss, don't do it here!
Xiu Ming and his cousin are still fighting hard.
Deng Youning picked up a knife from the bottom of the water and signaled to Li Tianzhuo to come over and help when he was okay.
On Deng Yan'an's side, during the fight, he had already set up a Thousand Machine Array around the twenty or thirty men in black.
He drew a Thousand Machine Array identifier for everyone and told them his arrangements.
The men in black could not understand their gestures, nor did they realize that there was silk as sharp as blades all around them.
Deng Yan'an took out a few more thunder bombs.
The difference between the thunderbolt bombs of their Qianji Villa and gunpowder is that they are not affected by water, because the gunpowder is wrapped in the iron ball shell of the thunderbolt bomb. If the mechanism is not pressed, the shell cannot be peeled off and the gunpowder inside cannot be released.
