"The young master has fallen into the water! Help! Help!"
The maid's shouts shattered the tranquility of the Crown Prince's residence, and all the servants ran to the back garden, plunging the residence into chaos.
When Luo Zhiwan arrived at the back garden after receiving the news, Yiming had already been rescued. He was soaking wet and covered in mud on his body and face.
She looked at his small body lying motionless on the grass, and suddenly her vision went black, her legs went weak, but she still managed to rush to his side.
"Yi Ming, Yi Ming..."
She rushed over like a madwoman, plopped down on Yiming, and patted his pale, paper-white face repeatedly.
"Yiming, don't lie there, get up, get up! Mother won't let anything happen to you, Mother can't live without you..."
Seeing that he still didn't move, she began to clean his mouth and nose with trembling hands, and frantically pressed on his abdomen, again and again...
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
The servants' voices came from behind, and Leng Chuchen rushed over with the speed of an arrow.
When he saw the scene before him, his face immediately turned ashen, and he growled in a low voice.
What's going on?
As soon as he finished speaking, all the servants in the mansion knelt down on both knees, and no one dared to answer.
He watched as Luo Zhiwan cried and pressed on Yiming's abdomen. He wanted to go over and help, but she scolded him.
"roll……"
She hated him.
If it weren't for him, why would the mother and son have come to the Crown Prince's residence?
If Yiming hadn't come to the Crown Prince's residence, how could he have gotten into trouble?
Leng Chuchen stood there blankly, looking at Yiming, whose face was ashen, her eyes reddening, her heart burning with anxiety.
Just when everyone thought Yiming was beyond saving, he coughed up several mouthfuls of water under Zhiwan's CPR, followed by a few weak coughs.
Seeing this, Zhiwan pressed harder, but she was too tired and exhausted. Her hands pressed down slower and slower.
Leng Chuchen knelt down in front of her, stepped forward to remove her hand, and began to perform CPR on Yiming, just like she had done.
Seeing that his movements were quite standard, she sat on the ground dejectedly and helplessly, but she dared not relax her expression for a moment.
After kneeling on the ground and catching her breath, she quickly went to Yiming and began cleaning his mouth and nose, while patting his face repeatedly.
"Yiming, wake up! Yiming, don't scare your mother, wake up..."
"Yiming..."
Her cries were choked with tears, and her voice trembled.
Leng Chuchen's pressing did not stop, and Luo Zhiwan's calls echoed in the back garden of the Crown Prince's residence.
"Cough cough cough..."
With their combined efforts, Yiming finally managed to cough weakly after spitting out a mouthful of water.
"Yiming's awake! Yiming's awake! Stop pressing the buttons..."
Hearing her shout, Leng Chuchen, covered in sweat, stopped what she was doing, crawled directly to Yiming, looked into his slightly open eyes, and asked in a choked voice:
"Yiming, how are you? You scared your father and mother to death."
His voice trembled. Ignoring the sweat on his brow, he rushed forward, scooped up Yiming, and ran straight to the front yard, growling softly.
"Summon the imperial physician..."
Although Luo Zhiwan was going to get medical help, she was already exhausted.
The news of Yiming falling into the water quickly reached the Emperor's ears. In less than an hour, he arrived at the Crown Prince's residence with the Empress Dowager and Empress Qi.
When they learned that Yiming was alright, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the main hall of the Crown Prince's residence, the Emperor slammed his fist on the table and roared in fury.
"Bring Luo Zhiwan here. I want to ask her how she takes care of the young prince."
Although none of this concerned her, the first person the Emperor wanted to punish when Yiming got into trouble was her.
In no time, Leng Chuchen and Luo Zhiwan knelt down before the Emperor.
The Emperor looked at them coldly, then suddenly spoke up and questioned them.
"What exactly is going on?"
Leng Chuchen clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied:
"Your Majesty, I am thoroughly investigating this matter, but I can only draw a conclusion after Yiming wakes up."
"Hmph, what use are you if you can't even take care of a child properly?"
"Father..."
Seeing that the Emperor was pointing the finger at Luo Zhiwan, Leng Chuchen directly explained...
"Yiming's accident has nothing to do with Zhiwan."
"His name is Leng Tianxiang..."
The Emperor's tone was displeased, "From now on, do not mention his former name in front of me..."
Leng Chuchen frowned helplessly.
“Father, Xiang’er falling into the water has nothing to do with Zhiwan. You can blame your son for not taking good care of him, but you cannot blame Zhiwan.”
"She almost killed your son, and you're still protecting her?"
"Your subject is not covering for him, but simply telling the truth. Xiang'er is still unconscious, and we must wait until he wakes up and we ask him in detail before we can draw any conclusions..."
"snort!"
The emperor slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair in a fit of rage.
"Chen'er, with your indecisive nature, how will you ever be able to support such a vast country as the Celestial Empire? The people from the Southern Yuan Kingdom will be entering the city in a few days. You must not let them see that you are such a womanly man!"
“Father, I am not a sentimental person. I was just telling the truth. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, but before the investigation is completed, please do not pin the blame on Zhiwan.”
After leaving those words, he stepped forward, pulled up Zhiwan, who was pale and unwilling to say another word, and turned to leave, ignoring the emperor's livid face and surprised look.
Leng Chuchen, who had always been very obedient, actually defied his wishes for this woman this time.
