Chapter 154 Are you willing to give up?
When Helian Feng arrived, he looked at the lake and saw three figures rising and falling, struggling desperately in the water.
His eyes were fixed on Xiyan like a magnet. The pure white floating in the green waves made his heart tighten.
"Quick, save the princess and Miss Su!"
He roared at the guards behind him.
The guards received the order and did not dare to delay. They jumped into the lake and swam towards Helian Shu and Su Wan.
Helian Feng himself did not hesitate at all. With his clothes fluttering, he used his lightness skills to walk on the water. His figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, creating a series of tiny ripples on the water surface.
When he was approaching Xiyan, he bent down, stretched out his long arms, and pulled the woman's wet body into his arms. Without stopping, he jumped onto the deck.
Xiyan is very good at swimming, but in order to avoid criticism, she deliberately choked on the water a few times. At this moment, she was coughing violently, with crystal water droplets hanging on her eyelashes, and her pale face was touching.
Helian Feng hugged her frail body tightly. He could feel her coldness through his wet clothes. He hurriedly took off his outer robe and wrapped her up in a ball.
"Xiyan, are you okay?"
"Your Highness, I, your servant, am fine. The princess and Miss Su..."
Xiyan spoke weakly, and out of the corner of her eye she saw that the guards had already hurriedly dragged Helian Shu and Su Wan onto the pleasure boat.
Looking at the two women again, they were in a horrible state. Their hair was disheveled, and the wet hair stuck to their faces like drowned rats. They were choking and choking, their faces turning purple, and they were coughing violently, looking extremely miserable.
Fortunately, he didn't fall into the water for long. He spit out the water he choked on and was still conscious.
When the two of them were struggling in the water, he saw with his own eyes that Helian Feng only rescued Xiyan. Among the two of them, one was his biological sister and the other was his fiancée, but he only saved the maid.
How could the two women not hate each other in their hearts? While coughing violently, Helian Shu glared at Xiyan hatefully, with fire almost spitting out of her eyes.
Although Su Wan was filled with hatred, he still pretended to be pitiful, spitting out water and crying.
At this moment, Xiao Nanyue and others rushed over after hearing the noise.
He looked coldly at Helian Feng hugging Xiyan tightly, his face gloomy and flickering.
Surprisingly, when Xie Zhan saw Xi Yan fall into the water, he quickly stepped forward, his face unable to conceal his anxiety:
"Miss Xiyan, are you okay?"
Xiyan was slightly startled. Why did Xie Zhan care about her so much? She shook her head subconsciously:
"Second Prince, I am fine."
Xiao Nanyue suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his long arm and pulled Xiyan out of Helian Feng's arms, and the bright blue robe suddenly slipped to the ground.
Xiyan's thin wet clothes were tightly attached to her body, outlining her graceful curves, and everyone present unconsciously looked at her.
Xiao Nanyun's expression changed slightly. He suddenly took off his outer robe and wrapped it around her, his tone cold:
"What a disgrace!"
Helian Feng looked at the messy robe on the ground, looking a little embarrassed.
He turned to look at Helian Shu:
"What on earth happened?"
Helian Shu had recovered by now. She suddenly broke free from the palace maid's support, her wet skirt still dripping with water. She stared fiercely at Xiyan's robe:
"Royal brother, it was... it was this bitch! She pushed us into the water!"
Xi Yan trembled all over and took a half step back, but still forced herself to bow:
"No, it wasn't me! I was ordered by the princess to stand at the stern of the ship and watch where Miss Su's beads fell."
She bit her lower lip lightly, neither humble nor arrogant:
"But the princess and Miss Su suddenly pounced on me, and I dodged... It was clearly when the princess slipped that she dragged Miss Su down with her, causing them to fall into the water together!"
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Helian Shu was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her pearl earrings were swinging in messy arcs on her cheeks. She rushed over and slapped Xiyan in the face.
Before she could slap him, Xiao Nanyan, who was standing beside Xiyan, grabbed her wrist like an iron clamp:
"Princess, are you going to fight the people in my palace too?"
Helian Shu's face flushed red, and her golden armor shone coldly in the sunlight:
"Brother Yan, Shu'er is your princess-consort yet to be married. When she gets married, she will be the mistress of the house. What's wrong with teaching a lowly maid a lesson?"
"But you haven't been to the mansion yet!"
Xiao Nanyan let go of his hand, and the hem of his brocade robe swept across the water stains on the deck:
"Besides, who can prove that she was the one who pushed him? I don't believe that a mere servant like her would dare to commit such an act of disrespect in front of the princess and the prime minister's daughter."
"Brother Yan!"
Helian Shu's eyes turned red with anger:
"This slut is clearly trying to kill me, but you..."
"Shu'er!"
Helian Feng suddenly interrupted her, his face gloomy:
"You are a princess of a country, but you have your hair disheveled and look like a mad woman. How can you be so rude?"
Su Wan took a step forward, tears streaming down her cheeks, looking even more pitiful:
"Brother Feng, what Sister Shu'er said is true... She was the one who deliberately pushed us into this!"
Helian Feng sneered:
"If she meant to harm you, why would she risk her life to jump into the water to save you?"
"She...she was just acting, deceiving you..."
Helian Feng glanced at the two soaking wet women in front of him, his eyes sharp as an eagle:
"You know the reason! A princess, a daughter of a prime minister, where have you learned the rules? Why don't you just leave?"
Helian Shu and Su Wan had no choice but to stagger back with the help of palace servants.
Before leaving, two resentful gazes were like poisoned arrows, fixed on Xiyan, and she walked into the inner cabin in a panic.
Xiyan looked at the backs of Helian Shu and Su Wan, gently wiped the water droplets on her face, and a cold arc appeared at the corners of her lips.
Having followed Xiao Nanyue for many years, she has long been accustomed to the open and secret intrigues inside and outside the palace.
If someone came to collect the debt, she would have lost her life countless times, so why should she be afraid of adding these two jealous women?
At this moment, Helian Feng picked up his outer robe from the deck and looked at Xiao Nanyan:
"Nan Yan! I've always wanted to say something, but I never had the chance."
Xiao Nanyan raised his sword-like eyebrows: "What is it? Your Highness, please speak frankly!"
Helian Feng put on his outer robe again. It seemed to still have the faint fragrance of a woman.
"I have a great liking for Miss Xiyan and would like to take her into the Crown Prince's residence. I wonder if you are willing to bear the pain and let her go?"
