Xiao Xizi was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
King Cheng threw his queen into the well and left. Xiao Xizi only came out of the bamboo forest after making sure he was far away. He ran to the well and looked inside. Queen Cheng was still struggling in the water, not dead yet. Xiao Xizi didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he was sure Queen Cheng was still alive, so he quickly tried to save her by throwing the wooden bucket in.
