Chapter 5 I Saw Nothing
Before she crossed into the book, Shen Qingtang not only had excellent academic performance and was admitted to a top university ranked in the top ten in the world, but also ranked among the top in various sports, and was a well-deserved all-A student.
Swimming is not a difficult thing for her at all, and the original owner used to be a beggar, and if her physical condition was not good enough, she would not have survived until now.
"Hiss~ It's so cold."
Shen Qingtang shuddered as soon as she jumped into the water.
This is a fantasy world, full of spiritual energy everywhere. With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the characteristics of things are magnified several times.
Shen Qingtang seriously suspected that this was not a pond at all, but a huge ice chest.
She used her spiritual power to protect her body and swam hard to the center of the pond. However, her spiritual power was too low, and the cold air in the water kept drilling into her body.
At the end of the swim, her hands and feet were numb.
Lying on the lotus leaf was a little white cat about a few months old, and it was frozen and curled up into a ball.
"Little cat, sister is here to rescue you." Shen Qingtang's voice was unconsciously clamped.
"I'll touch your head, don't bite me." Shen Qingtang stretched out her hand carefully.
"Meow~~"
The little white cat called softly and rubbed Shen Qingtang's palm with its head, which was very human.
The little white cat could feel Shen Qingtang's kindness to it and let Shen Qingtang pick it up.
"Mimi, hold my neck and I'll take you up."
"Meow~" The little white cat responded to every word.
It retracted its sharp claws and hugged Shen Qingtang's neck with its soft pads of flesh.
Shen Qingtang turned and swam to the edge of the pond. Halfway through, a clear and surprised young voice rang out from the edge of the pond.
"Fourth Princess?"
Shen Qingtang looked in the direction of the voice, but her hands and feet did not stop moving.
The man had a nice voice, and sounded like a young man, but he was standing against the light, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
When Shen Qingtang raised her head, Lu Jiuan saw her face clearly, and his face changed instantly.
"Fourth Princess, I'm here to help you."
Lu Jiuan was the general in charge of the Royal Guards, and was directly appointed by the emperor.
Not long ago, Lu Jiuan received an order from the emperor, ordering him to protect Shen Qingtang's safety at all times in the future.
Shen Tianming is not sure whether Shen Qingtang has been abducted or not. He is not clear about Shen Qingtang's background, nor does he know whether her ability to predict the future is real.
The fate of the country is not a joke. As an emperor, he needs to be cautious. It will not be wrong to keep a close eye on Shen Qingtang.
Lu Jiuan is loyal to him, smart, and has strong spiritual power. He is the best person to look after Shen Qingtang.
The news that Shen Muxin was poisoned is known to everyone in the palace. Shen Tianming used the excuse that he was worried that Shen Qingtang would be poisoned as well, and ordered Lu Jiuan to protect her at all times. In fact, it was to monitor Shen Qingtang and prevent her from escaping.
Lu Jiuan didn't know the emperor's true thoughts, and only thought that the emperor was worried about the fourth princess.
However, as the commander of the imperial guards, he is busy with official duties every day. The emperor ordered him to protect the fourth princess at all times. Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent?
Moreover, he has heard rumors about the fourth princess, that she is ignorant and full of lies all day long, bullies the third princess, has a bad temper and is rude. The palace maids said that the poisoning of the third princess seems to be related to the fourth princess.
Is it necessary for him to protect such a person?
Although Lu Jiuan thought so in his heart, the emperor's order could not be violated. He had to protect the fourth princess until the emperor withdrew the order.
Lu Jiuan found the location of Shen Qingtang based on the information from the patrol guards.
As soon as he came to the lotus pond, he saw Shen Qingtang swimming in the pond.
Why would the Fourth Princess go swimming in the pond at night? Isn't it cold?
Lu Jiuan moved his fingertips slightly, and an invisible spiritual power flew to Shen Qingtang's side, enveloped her, and slowly put her on the shore.
Lu Jiuan walked over and saluted Shen Qingtang, then asked caringly: "Fourth Princess, are you okay?"
Shen Qingtang shook her head and smiled at him: "I'm fine, thank you for helping me."
Under the bright moonlight, Shen Qingtang was soaked, her hair stuck to her body, and her body trembled slightly. Her smile was beautiful, like a summer breeze, which made people feel comfortable.
Lu Jiuan was distracted for a moment, and quickly turned his head away. His ears were red, and his voice was a little flustered: "Please forgive me, Fourth Princess, I am rude."
Lu Jiuan was thankful that it was night time, "Your humble servant, your humble servant didn't see anything."
He didn't understand, Shen Qingtang was a princess after all, and the clothes she usually wore should be impervious to water and fire, why were her clothes so low-grade?
Shen Qingtang looked down at her clothes.
[Nothing is exposed? It's just that the clothes are a little tight after getting wet, what's there to be shy about? ]
For Shen Qingtang, who often wears clothes that show her figure, this is nothing.
Besides, her current figure is not at all related to the word "good".
"It's okay, this princess forgives you."
Shen Qingtang waved her hands nonchalantly and hugged the little white cat that was still hugging her neck.
"Mimi, don't be afraid, you are saved now."
"Meow..."
The little cat was injured, its body was shaking violently, and its cry was so small that it was almost inaudible.
Shen Qingtang's heart tightened, "Mimi, I worked so hard to rescue you, please don't die."
She turned her head and looked at Lu Jiuan with a dazed face.
[This man has great magical powers, he should be able to save Mimi, right? ]
"Can you help me save it?" Shen Qingtang tugged at Lu Jiuan's robe.
At this time, Lu Jiuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He wondered if there was something wrong with his brain, otherwise how could he hear the voice of the fourth princess?
Seeing Lu Jiuan standing there in a daze without saying anything, Shen Qingtang waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked in a raised voice: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Lu Jiuan came back to his senses and immediately hid his emotions. He stared at Shen Qingtang's little face.
It seems that the Fourth Princess doesn't know that he can hear her thoughts.
He will stay by the Fourth Princess' side in the future, and this matter must not be discovered by the Fourth Princess.
Lu Jiuan looked away again and said shyly: "I'm fine."
Shen Qingtang didn't notice Lu Jiuan's abnormality and thought he was just a little shy.
[How can he do anything when he is so shy? ]
Shen Qingtang took out an outer robe from the storage ring and covered himself with it, "Okay, you can turn around."
Lu Jiuan carefully noticed the storage ring on Shen Qingtang's hand. He frowned slightly. Isn't that a low-level storage ring used by palace maids? How can she, a princess, be so miserable?
"Fourth Princess, you will get sick if you keep doing this. I will use magic to dry your clothes."
"Wait a minute." Shen Qingtang stopped him, "I'm fine, you should save it first, I think it's dying."
Lu Jiuan lowered his eyes and looked at the kitten in Shen Qingtang's arms.
He had noticed before that there was a white furry thing on the fourth princess' neck, it turned out to be a cat.
"It turns out that the fourth princess jumped into the pond to save the kitten."
"What else?" Shen Qingtang gave him a look as if he was looking at a fool, "Do you think I'm crazy in the middle of the night and have nothing to do to run to this cold pond to take a bath?"
Lu Jiuan:...
He coughed lightly twice, raised his hand awkwardly and cast two spells.
