The two of them came to the deck and admired the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains in the capital.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, the rippling water, the green mountains and the green water, and felt relaxed and happy.

"It turns out that the scenery in the capital is so beautiful."

I have been in Beijing for nearly half a month. The farthest place I have been to is the Palace of the Duke of Huguo. Although the scenery of the palace is also pleasant, it cannot compare to the natural lake view.

She rested her elbows on the railing, quietly enjoying the quiet moment.

Wei Ting stood beside her with an expressionless face.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the railing and took a step upwards.

Wei Ting subconsciously moved closer to her.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Wei Ting, look, there are fish!"

Wei Ting replied calmly: "Yeah."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Did we just catch the fish from the lake?"

Wei Ting said: "I fished on the other side of the lake."

There are too many people and too much noise here, so the fish have been scared away. If you want the fattest and tenderest fish, you have to go fishing where there are fewer people.

Wei Ting looked nonchalant, but he responded to every word Su Xiaoxiao said, even though his tone was very cold.

The wind blowing from the lake is mixed with a hint of coolness.

“A-choo!”

Su Xiaoxiao sneezed.

Wei Ting turned and went into the side room.

At this moment, a loud thud was heard not far away, followed by a panicked scream.

"Oh no! Someone's fallen into the water!"

"Someone come quickly——"

“Help—”

The owner of the houseboat, who was halfway through killing fish, also heard the noise and hurried out with a kitchen knife in hand.

The chubby girl who had said in a coquettish voice earlier, "I'm a little seasick," lifted up her skirt, stepped on the railing with one foot majestically, and jumped forward, bang... no, she jumped into the water! The person who fell into the water was a young man.

She grabbed the man and threw him back onto the deck of the houseboat like a sack.

"It's coming up! It's coming up!"

Someone exclaimed.

Su Xiaoxiao was an excellent swimmer in her previous life, and she is no bad swimmer in this body either. The only thing that held her back was her heavy clothes, which became several times heavier after being soaked in water.

On the pleasure boat, a kind-hearted person pointed at Su Xiaoxiao who was swimming hard in the lake and shouted, "Quick, quick, quick! Hand that brave man a pole!"

Su Xiaoxiao, who thinks she is a soft girl: "..."

It's not everyone's fault. Su Xiaoxiao moved too quickly. No one could see who it was before they heard a loud bang and a huge wave rose in the lake, causing the pleasure boat to sway.

If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't thrown the young man who fell into the water onto the boat, they would have thought that another... person... had fallen into the water.

Su Xiaoxiao refused the bamboo pole! Wei Ting really didn't expect that while he was going to the wing room to get a cloak, someone fell into the water.

Fortunately, Wei Ting's strength was genuine. He tiptoed over the water like a seagull and picked up Su Xiaoxiao.

The two landed on the deck of the barge next door.

"Oh my! Someone's dead!"

"Is there a doctor?"

"Young man! Wake up--"

The kind-hearted guests on the houseboat surrounded the young man who was rescued.

The young man was pale and unconscious.

The boatman realized something was wrong and quickly sent a waiter to the clinic to call for a doctor.

However, the nearest clinic is two miles away, and I don’t know if I can make it in time if I go back and forth.

The boatman was very worried.

If someone dies on his ship, how will he continue to do business in the future?

To the east, another pleasure boat was slowly approaching. Unlike those on the shore that were disguised as pleasure boats but were actually a few floating restaurants, this was a truly luxurious and grand ship that could sail unhindered across the entire lake.

There are two floors in total, like an exquisite little attic built on the ship.

She seldom had the opportunity to leave the palace, and today she begged her brother for a long time before he agreed to take her to the boat.

"Third brother! Look! Something seems to have happened over there!"

The news that Jingning had taught the little playboy in the capital a lesson had spread back to the palace. Everyone privately praised Jingning for her integrity and her ability to punish evildoers, and for being worthy of the number one princess of the Great Zhou.

Princess Hui'an was very dissatisfied.

"Is someone being bullied?"

Humph, she also wants to help when she sees injustice!

Better than Jingning!

Changping ran outside and stretched his neck to take a look: "It seems that someone is drowning... calling for a doctor..."

Accompanying them was Doctor Hu’s grandson Hu Hui.

The Hu family had been practicing medicine for generations. When it came to Hu Hui's generation, although his main goal was to pass the imperial examination, he had been exposed to medicine at home since he was young, so he knew a little bit. On weekdays in the Imperial College, if anyone had a headache or fever, they didn't need to ask a doctor, they could just go to Hu Hui and get a prescription.

Xiao Chonghua looked at Hu Hui: "Do you know how to treat drowning?"

Hu Hui cupped his hands and said, "I have treated several cases with my grandfather."

Princess Hui'an immediately said, "Then go and save them! Remember, it was me who asked you to go!"

Hu Hui bowed to her and said, "Yes."

Xiao Chonghua said to Jing Yi, "Take Master Hu over there."

Jing Yi grabbed Hu Hui's shoulders and used his Qinggong skills to bring him to the pleasure boat.

However, they were one step too late.

Someone is already rescuing the drowning person.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt beside him, her whole body wet, with water in her eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.

She didn't care about the tears of pain in her eyes, she folded her hands and pressed hard on the other's chest.

Hu Hui frowned, and when he saw that the rescuer was a woman, his brows frowned even more.

He strode over and said, "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Wei Ting shot a cold look at Hu Hui.

Hu Hui's eyebrows jumped! Wei... Lord Wei?! Wei Ting was also a student of the Imperial Academy in his early years. If we really talk about seniority, Hu Hui should call him senior brother.

However, Wei Ting had already served as an official in the court, so when Hu Hui saw him, he had to respectfully address him as Lord Wei or General Wei.

Jing Yi on the other side was also surprised.

But he was not surprised by Wei Ting. After all, he knew that Wei Ting had returned to Beijing.

He recognized Su Xiaoxiao who was rescuing a drowning person.

He stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.

Su Xiaoxiao was so focused on rescuing the patient that she didn't notice Jing Yi coming over.

Drowning wasn't the worst of it, his heart stopped beating.

She let the patient lie flat on the deck, untied the patient's collar, untied the patient's belt, knelt on her knees, and rode on the patient.

This posture... attracted a lot of criticism from those around.

"I thought I was a man, but I'm actually a girl."

"A girl stripped off a man's clothes and pants in public, and...she also did such a shameful thing in public. It's really a disgrace to society!"

"Yeah, that's outrageous!"

They seemed to have forgotten that it was Su Xiaoxiao who risked her life to rescue the people to shore.

In ancient times when reputation was more important than anything else and women had a low status, Su Xiaoxiao's actions could be said to have challenged everyone's bottom line.

The reason why no one stepped forward to pull her away and throw her into the pig cage was because of the great killing god Wei Ting standing by.

The sound of people's discussions brought Hu Hui back to his senses.

His expression became serious, and he said to Wei Ting: "Master Wei! Stop her immediately! The patient is drowning, she will kill him!"

There will be another one later
