Chapter 52 Oh? I wonder how Mr. Shen plans to thank me?

Sikong Yu was nearby, and when he heard someone calling for help by the lake, he rushed over without hesitation.

Shen Chaoyan pulled Lugua to hide behind a rockery nearby, and continued to shout, "Mr. Shen, you have to hold on! I'll find branches to save you!"

Hongguo couldn't swim, and she struggled desperately in the lake like a landlubber.

She only heard the people on the shore say they wanted to save her, and she wanted to respond immediately.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the lake water immediately poured into her throat, choking her so much that even her voice became intermittent.

"Help... Help... Help!"

Everything before falling into the water happened so suddenly that Hongguo didn't even know that she was kicked into the lake by Shen Chaoyan.

She thought it was her bad luck that she failed to push Chaoyan and was instead dragged into the lake by the huge impact.

Knowing that the people on the shore were trying to save her, she waved her hands in the water, struggling to respond.

However, Hongguo's body was completely unresponsive.

As soon as her head emerged from the water, she was hit by the waves, and as soon as she emerged, she was hit again.

After tormenting like this for several times, Hongguo gradually lost her strength and her body sank little by little.

Just before her head was submerged in the lake water, she suddenly heard a "splash" of diving.

Then, a figure swam towards her.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Shen, I'm here to save you!"

Sikong Yu identified the person in the lake as Shen Chaoyan. He quickly came to her, put his big hands tightly around her waist, and pulled her out of the lake.

When Hong Guo's head emerged from the water, Sikong Yu's expression froze, "Why, why is it you?"

Hong Guo drank a bellyful of water, her consciousness was already fuzzy, and she didn't have the extra brainpower to think about the other party's question.

The instinct for survival made her cling to Sikong Yu like an eight-legged octopus.

At this time, the guards on duty nearby heard the noise and ran over here.

Sikong Yu heard the noise of footsteps on the shore, his expression changed several times, and he immediately wanted to get rid of Hong Guo.

However, Hong Guo held her too tightly, and he pushed her away several times but failed.

"Your Highness, thank you for saving my maid! Lugua, quickly hand the branch to King Jing and pull him up!"

Shen Chaoyan appeared at the right time, and Lugua followed her instructions, walked to the lakeside, and stretched out the branch in her hand to Sikong Yu.

"Your Highness, grab the branch, I will pull you ashore!"

At this moment, more than ten guards and palace maids and eunuchs who heard the sound had gathered on the shore.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Sikong Yu could only grab the branch and rescue Hongguo to shore.

On the shore, Shen Chaoyan ignored Hongguo lying on the ground, but smiled and thanked Sikong Yu, "It's really thanks to King Jing for showing up in time. If you hadn't rescued me, Hongguo would have reported to King Yan's Palace."

Sikong Yu looked at the bright and charming smile on Shen Chaoyan's lips, his eyes fell on her lips painted with shiny lipstick, his mind moved slightly, and he asked back with a smirk, "Oh? I wonder how Mr. Shen plans to thank me?"

When his mother was alive, she was also one of the most beautiful women in the harem. Coupled with the royal handsome gene, even if his appearance is not as good as Sikong Yan, he is still a real handsome man.

But!

When he talked to Shen Chaoyan, he deliberately frowned and acted cool, which completely destroyed the cold temperament in his appearance.

Giving people a handsome and self-aware greasy feeling.

When Shen Chaoyan was a paparazzi in the entertainment industry, she also met many male stars of this type.

She has long been immune to this kind of disgusting teasing.

Facing Sikong Yu's question, she gracefully pointed to Hongguo on the ground, "Since King Jing saved Hongguo, how about letting Hongguo marry him?"

Hongguo was in a daze, but when she heard their conversation, her mind suddenly became clear. Regardless of her exhausted body, she got up from the ground and knelt in front of Shen Chaoyan, "Thank you for your kindness, my lady!"

Green Gua didn't understand what happened before, but after being dragged behind the rockery by Shen Chaoyan and reminded by a few words, she immediately realized that Hongguo just wanted to harm her lady.

Thinking about how good she was to Hongguo before, not only did she embroider a handkerchief for her, but she also slept in the same quilt with her at night, she felt upset.

She rolled her eyes, looked at Sikong Yu's dark face, and assisted, "Hongguo has always praised His Royal Highness Jingwang in front of me as a flower on a mountain, noble and elegant. Now the prince is a hero saving the beauty, which is exactly the same as the match made in heaven that I read in the storybooks!"

"No..."

Sikong Yu was about to refuse, but Shen Chaoyan didn't give him a chance at all, "Hongguo seems to want to repay the prince for saving her life, then I will report to the emperor and ask the emperor to give Hongguo to the prince."

"What do you want to report to me, my beloved concubine?"

As soon as Shen Chaoyan finished speaking, Sikong Yan's gentle voice came from behind.

Shen Chaoyan turned around, and when he saw who was coming, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

There was a commotion here just now, and Li Heguang's apprentice saw Sikong Yu and Shen Chaoyan, and was worried that something might have happened, so he immediately went to report to Li Heguang.

Sikong Yan learned about what happened by the lake, and was worried about Shen Chaoyan, so he came here in person.

At this time, Sikong Yan stopped beside Shen Chaoyan and put his big hand on her waist, "I drank a lot of wine, I want to come here to get some fresh air and sober up."

He slightly side-glanced at Hong Guo who was kneeling on the ground and soaking wet, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Shen Chaoyan smiled and said that what happened just now was an accidental slip of Hong Guo, "I was shocked to see Hong Guo fall into the lake! Thanks to King Jing's righteousness, Hong Guo saved her life. I want to repay King Jing, Your Majesty, why don't we help a pair of lovers together?"

After Hong Guo fell into the water, Shen Chaoyan learned from the Book of Heaven about the origin of Hong Guo and Sikong Yu.

Eight years ago, Hong Guo was sold to a cripple by a trafficker as a child bride.

Not only did the family let her, at such a young age, empty the cripple's excrement and urine, but they also beat and scolded her.

Hong Guo escaped several times, and each time she was caught, she was beaten even more terribly.

The last time, she escaped with wounds all over her body, and met the young man Sikong Yu.

He beat the lame man's family away and brought Hong Guo back home.

From then on, Sikong Yu became the most important person in Hong Guo's heart. She was willing to die for Sikong Yu.

However, when she fell into the lake and was only one step away from the gates of hell, Hong Guo suddenly felt a little timid.

She didn't want to die. She still had many wishes to fulfill. She was unwilling to die in the cold lake.

Therefore, when Shen Chaoyan mentioned that he wanted the emperor to give her to Sikong Yu, she was crazy.

Shen Chaoyan saw that Sikong Yan did not respond to her immediately, and she was very anxious.

What's wrong with the tyrant?

Is it okay? He should say something!

Anyway, no matter whether the tyrant agrees or not, she will never keep a servant like Hong Guo who betrayed her master.

After listening to Shen Chaoyan's inner thoughts, Sikong Yan curled his thin lips and said lightly, "Then let's do as my beloved concubine said and give this palace maid to Prince Jing." Sikong

Yu didn't expect Sikong Yan to actually agree, and immediately knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of maids in my mansion, please take back your order!"

"Prince Jing's Mansion should not be unable to afford even a maid, right?" Sikong Yan said, turning his gaze and asked Hong Guo, "Are you willing to go to Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Hong Guo immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please make the decision, I have no complaints."

Sikong Yan nodded, not giving Sikong Yu a chance to refuse, "Prince Jing's Mansion still has no mistress, it is a good thing to have more personal maids in the mansion, what do you think, Third Brother?"

Sikong Yu glanced at the group of people watching the excitement behind Sikong Yan, and his hand at his side slowly clenched into a fist.

The chess piece he had placed next to Shen Chaoyan went around in circles, and was forced back in again. How aggrieved was that?

But -

just now, too many people saw him rescue Hongguo from the lake.

Now, Sikong Yan personally gave Hongguo to him as a gift. How dare he blatantly disobey the emperor 's will?

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

Hongguo's clothes and hair were still dripping with water, and her face was extremely pale.

When the wind blew, she couldn't stop shaking all over.

Others thought she was frozen.

Only she knew in her heart that she was shaking with excitement!

Shen Qingwan, who was standing behind the crowd, looked at this scene, a breath of resentment accumulated in her chest, her facial features twisted with anger, and smoke coming out of her seven orifices.

Shen Chaoyan!

It's Shen Chaoyan again!

How dare this bitch to put someone in her man's house?

Hongguo has developed thoughts about her brother Yu that she shouldn't have, this bitch must not be kept!

As for Shen Chaoyan -

since no one else can be trusted, she has to do it herself!
