Watching Zhao Zhenzhen sink to the bottom of the lake, Su Feiling felt a surge of satisfaction.
It's better that she drowned; it saved her a lot of trouble!
Xuanyuan Yu stared at Zhao Zhenzhen as she slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, his heart filled with unease. He struggled with his decision, unable to make a decision.
The other guards and sedan bearers in the lake were very worried when they saw that Zhao Zhenzhen had sunk, but when they saw that Xuan Yuan Yu on the boat had not moved, none of them dared to move.
Green Lotus was also anxious and reported to Su Xuening in the bridal sedan chair: "Miss, Miss Zhao has fallen into the lake. No one in the lake dares to rescue her, and the Third Prince has not made a move either."
If something really happens to Miss Zhao, I'm afraid it will implicate my own daughter!
Su Xuening remained calm: "Don't worry, she won't die. Xuan Yuan Yu will save her."
Just now, Green Lotus said that Zhao Zhenzhen's bridal sedan chair fell into the water. Since Zhao Zhenzhen was able to get out of the sedan chair, it means that she knows how to swim. If she didn't, she would have sunk to the bottom long ago after falling in for so long.
Even if Xuan Yuan Yu doesn't save her, she won't die.
On the shore, Yueyuan saw that Zhao Zhenzhen was nowhere to be seen and immediately became anxious: "Your Highness, please save her!"
He and Yue Que were in charge of this wedding procession. If anything happened to Miss Zhao, they would both be severely punished.
Xuanyuan Yu was also very flustered. He knew that Zhao Zhenzhen could not die, or at least her death should not be related to him.
Xuanyuan Yu gritted his teeth and jumped into the lake.
"Cousin Yu!"
Su Feiling was so angry when she saw Xuan Yuan Yu go into the water to save someone that she stomped her feet.
The others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xuan Yuan Yu had finally gone down to rescue the people.
Green Lotus exclaimed excitedly, "Miss, you're amazing! The Third Prince really went into the water to save people!"
Su Xuening scoffed dismissively.
She knew Xuan Yuan Yu too well. Xuan Yuan Yu was weak and incompetent. He didn't want to marry Zhao Zhenzhen, but he couldn't go against Xuan Yuan Peng and couldn't afford to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If he still harbored any ambition to seize the throne, he would not have stood by and watched Zhao Zhenzhen perish. If Zhao Zhenzhen were to drown right before his eyes, the Prime Minister's Mansion would surely become his enemy. Without the Prime Minister's Mansion's support, and with an additional enemy, his path to becoming emperor would be far more difficult.
Therefore, she wouldn't let Zhao Zhenzhen die like that, or rather, she couldn't let Zhao Zhenzhen die in front of him like that.
Xuanyuan Yu sank to the bottom of the lake and quickly found Zhao Zhenzhen, pulling her out.
"Your Highness." Yueyuan and Yueque, along with their guards, waited on the shore. When Xuanyuan Yu swam over with Zhao Zhenzhen, the guards quickly pulled the two ashore.
When Su Feiling on the boat saw that Xuan Yuan Yu had rescued Zhao Zhenzhen, she was so angry that her face turned green.
"Cough cough..." Zhao Zhenzhen coughed twice and then collapsed weakly into Xuan Yuan Yu's arms.
Xuanyuan Yu tried to push her away, but he couldn't, so he could only half-support her.
Because of Zhao Zhenzhen's special status, Yueyuan and Yueque dared not come to help.
When Su Feiling saw Zhao Zhenzhen clinging to Xuan Yuan Yu, she immediately jumped ashore and ran to Xuan Yuan Yu's side, taking his arm: "Cousin Yu."
Xuanyuan Yu was already having enough of a headache because of her and Zhao Zhenzhen, and now that they were holding him back from both sides, he could hardly move an inch.
"Enough, stop bothering me." Xuan Yuan Yu withdrew his hand and glared at Su Fei Ling with displeasure, making Su Fei Ling feel wronged.
But Xuanyuan Yu didn't want to pay any attention to her. He hadn't even settled things with her about what happened on the ship yet, and now she was bothering him!
Seeing that Xuan Yuan Yu ignored Su Fei Ling, Zhao Zhenzhen secretly glanced at Su Fei Ling with a smug look.
Seeing Zhao Zhenzhen's smug and provocative gaze, Su Feiling was furious.
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhenzhen's smugness didn't last long. Xuan Yuan Yu then looked at Zhao Zhenzhen's several dowry maids and said, "Come here for a moment."
Several maids had wanted to come over for a while, but they all understood their mistress's thoughts and didn't dare to come. Now that Xuan Yuan Yu had spoken, they couldn't not come.
As soon as they got close, Xuan Yuan Yu pushed Zhao Zhenzhen, who was clinging to him, into the arms of the maids: "Keep an eye on your young lady."
"Yes." The maids dared not disobey and together helped Zhao Zhenzhen up.
This pleased Su Feiling greatly, and she returned the smug and provocative look Zhao Zhenzhen had given her.
The two instantly became like needles clashing against wheat awns, their gazes colliding and sparks flying.
Xuanyuan Yu ignored the two women and, after shaking them off, hurried towards Su Xuening's bridal sedan chair.
Before he could even get close to the bridal sedan chair, Ye Feng and Ye Yun blocked his way: "Third Prince, please have some self-respect!"
Xuanyuan Yu's face suddenly darkened. He knew that the two guards beside Xuanyuan Zhan were highly skilled in martial arts, and he did not want to lower himself to fight them. He simply shouted at the bridal sedan chair, "Ning'er, we clearly had physical intimacy last night, so why are you getting into this bridal sedan chair today!"
Xuan Yuan Yu's words caused everyone present to change their expressions.
Previously, a large crowd had gathered to watch the fight between the two wedding processions. Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Yu's words, they instantly erupted in uproar.
"Has the Third Prince and Miss Su had physical intimacy?"
"Wasn't she betrothed to the Holy Prince by the Emperor? How come she's still entangled with the Third Prince? What kind of nonsense is this!"
"Wouldn't that mean the Holy King was cuckolded? It's a pity that the Holy King is seriously ill and I heard he's about to die."
"So, is it because the Holy King is dying that Miss Su sought out the Third Prince?"
Ye Feng and Ye Yun also frowned and looked at Xuan Yuan Yu.
What kind of trouble is the Third Prince causing? Yesterday, their princess was at the General's Mansion all day. How could she possibly be fooling around with him?
