Looking back, he saw the man struggling in the water. Yan Xi planned to send Chu Zhizhi ashore first and then rescue him.
Just when I had thought of a rescue plan, I heard a splash. I looked over there and saw that it was Yan Cheng who went into the water.
Yan Xi then remembered that she was not alone, and she swam to the shore with Chu Zhizhi at ease.
Yan Cheng remembered the original plot of Jingshui Lake when Chu Zhizhi sank into the water and Yan Xi jumped in to save her.
There are currently two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works in the court, one is Yan Guangyi and the other is surnamed Shen.
According to the plot development, today Qu Zhaoyue will rescue Minister Shen's second son in Jingshui Lake.
Then he got the sworn loyalty of the entire Shen family.
The Shen family has been prosperous since the generation of Minister Shen, and there are many promising people in the family.
In the next generation of Minister Shen, all the males of the Shen family, both legitimate and illegitimate, will help Qu Zhaoyue consolidate the imperial power.
The elder of the Shen family will become the dreaded Dali Temple Shaoqing, exposing countless conspiracies and schemes;
The second son of the Shen family will become a business genius no less than Huo Yifan, and will give Qu Zhaoxing countless wealth to win people's hearts;
The third child of the Shen family will become...
In short, Qu Zhaoyue benefited greatly from this rescue in the clean water lake.
However……
Yan Cheng leaned against the rockery, tilted his head, and watched with his clear big eyes as the second son of the Shen family passed by Yan Xi.
He suddenly dived into the water without showing his head.
Yan Xi and Chu Zhizhi jumped into the lake right after him, and a group of hornets were busy patrolling the clean water lake.
After a while, the hornets left and the three of them emerged one after another. Yan Cheng squatted by the lake and watched.
Yan Xi dragged Chu Zhizhi to the shore. Shen Laoer swam for a few times and suddenly fell down. It was suspected that he had a leg cramp and could not swim anymore.
There were still only four of them inside and outside the Pure Water Lake.
So, what about Qu Zhaoyue?
How did the plot go off track?
Yan Cheng suddenly thought of what happened today, and then thought about the fact that Qu Zhaoyue was not where she should be.
His eyes darkened.
As expected, Shen Lao Er had a leg cramp. Yan Cheng looked around to make sure that no one would suddenly appear and jump into the water to retrieve the future God of Wealth.
Yan Xi was exhausted after coming ashore twice in a row. Fortunately, Chu Zhizhi didn't need her first aid this time.
She simply sat down on the shore, gasping for breath and waiting for Yan Cheng and another person to come up.
When Yan Cheng came up and laid the person she dragged up flat on the shore, she saw the person's face and her eyes widened.
When the man coughed hard and spit out water, Yan Xi said to Yan Cheng, "Cheng'er, he is the second brother Shen."
"Second Brother Shen?" Yan Cheng wrung the water from his clothes and thought for a moment, "Is this the younger brother of Big Brother Shen whom I met at the banquet last year?"
He was referring to a banquet that took place before he returned to the palace.
It was also at that banquet that he was discovered to look 99% similar to the Seventh Prince.
Now that I think about it, Qu Zhaoxing was definitely causing trouble on purpose at that time.
Tsk, I often wonder whether the mental state of the Prince of Chu is beautiful.
Shen Lao Er choked on some water, but he was fine. He hugged Yan Cheng and cried loudly with tears of gratitude:
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have cramped my legs and drowned in the clean water lake. Then my parents, eldest brother, third sister, fourth sister, and aunt...wouldn't they be heartbroken?"
He listed a series of relatives with various names, which opened Yan Cheng's eyes.
Is it really that enthusiastic? Even the aunts and uncles have spoken out.
No wonder Qu Zhaoyue received support from the Shen family after saving people.
I'm afraid that the eloquent Shen Lao Er played a big role in this.
"Hey, look! He can cry even more than me! It turns out men are made of water too."
Chu Zhizhi originally wanted to cry about her bad luck today, but when she saw Shen Laoer crying there, she put away her crying face and winked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi nodded in agreement. It was the first time she had seen a man who could cry so much.
"ah?"
Shen Laoer, who was crying his heart out, finally noticed that there were two other girls at the scene who were in the same situation. He didn't know where to look.
He didn't have time to carefully distinguish whether Yan Cheng was the seventh prince or the eighth prince, and poked Yan Cheng's arm several times with his fingers in a short period of time.
He looked up and down but not at what was in front of him, and he stammered, "Isn't it appropriate for us to be here?"
He was so surprised and overwhelmed that he used too much force and even hurt Yan Cheng's arm.
Yan Cheng grabbed the rebellious fingers and said expressionlessly: "Then what are you still doing here? Let's go!"
"Yes, yes! I have to go."
Shen Lao Er walked to the left with his hands and feet together. Yan Cheng ignored him and said to Yan Xi: "I'll go over there and take a look. If no one comes over to call you, I'll come over."
After walking for many steps, Shen Laoer's shyness gradually dissipated and his steps returned to normal.
After running to a place where the two wet girls were no longer visible, Shen Laoer recalled his eldest brother's usual behavior and bowed to Yan Cheng seriously.
"I cannot repay you for saving my life, I should..."
Promise yourself to me.
Yan Cheng quickly added in his mind, and suddenly thought of Leng Yan.
He had saved the boy in black, and this is what the boy said to him after he woke up.
“…Repay with your life.”
Shen Lao Er is not Leng Yan and would not say such words.
He didn't notice Yan Cheng's momentary distraction, and said solemnly: "As long as I can be of use, I can do it even if it costs me everything."
Yan Cheng, who was about to interrupt, came back to his senses.
Looking up and down at the disheveled young man who looked only one or two years older than him, he saw that he had a resolute expression and was willing to die for his king.
A life-saving grace in exchange for a heart that is tilted to the sky.
It was because of Shen Lao Er's character that Qu Zhaoyue gained the support of the entire Shen family.
