The moment Yu Jinshu fell into the surging river, she didn't expect Pu Kun to jump down with her.
At this moment, her heart was filled with emotion.
But the water flow was too fast and she was swept downstream.
Pu Kun was also washed down and swam towards her with all his might.
Yu Jinshu could swim, but she couldn't stop the water flow. She choked on the water several times and quickly entered the system mall.
She remembered that there was one item in the emergency items in the system mall that was very suitable to take out at this time, which was the sheepskin raft.
But it was really difficult to take out the sheepskin raft in front of Pu Kun.
If Pu Kun hadn't jumped down, she could have taken it out and used it directly.
Now she could only swim hard towards the river bank. When she turned a corner and was out of Pu Kun's sight, she took out the sheepskin raft.
Pu Kun was frightened when he lost Yu Jinshu at the corner.
Fortunately, after turning the corner, I saw Yu Jinshu holding a sheepskin raft.
He was very strong and swam to Yu Jinshu's side quickly. He grabbed the sheepskin raft with one hand and supported her hips with the other hand, and lifted her onto the sheepskin raft.
After Yu Jinshu climbed onto the sheepskin raft, he pulled Pu Kun up as well.
Pu Kun didn't expect that this girl had such strong hands.
On the shore, Zhang Li and his guards were chasing along the shore. When they saw the emperor and Yu Jinshu board a sheepskin raft, they were all happy.
After the sheepskin raft passed that section of rapids, the water flow on the river became calm.
There was an iron hook tied to a rope on the raft, and a wooden paddle.
Pu Kun took the wooden paddle and rowed the boat to the shore, then threw the iron hook onto the shore.
Zhang Li grabbed the iron hook and pulled the rope to help the sheepskin raft reach the shore.
Pu Kun took Yu Jinshu's hand and pulled her to the shore.
Seeing that she was bare-legged again, he carried her horizontally as soon as she got ashore.
When Zhang Li saw the emperor coming ashore, he hurriedly handed over the robes of the emperor and Yu Jinshu, and then pulled all the guards to turn around and avoid Yu Jinshu's body.
Yu Jinshu was only wearing a white silk undershirt. After the fabric got soaked in water, it stuck to her graceful body, making her figure even more attractive.
Pu Kun took the robe she was wearing and wrapped it around her, then he untied and took off her wet clothes with his own hands.
Although it was in the wild, no one could see it.
It is early winter now. If you don't take off your wet clothes immediately, you will definitely get seriously ill.
After Pu Kun put the robe on her, he took off his wet clothes and put on dry robes.
Then he picked up Yu Jinshu and let Zhang Li lead the way.
Not long after they walked away, Chen Faliang and a guard also rushed over.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the emperor and Grand Secretary Yu were fine.
Chen Faliang walked to Pu Kun's side and said, "Your Majesty, those who caused the trouble have escaped, but Du Jiangong took two people to chase them. If we can catch one or two of the instigators, perhaps we can ask the person behind the scenes."
When the people saw the emperor fall into the water, they were all terrified and fled in panic for fear of being beheaded.
Naturally, some people were injured, but fortunately, the children were at the back when they ran back, so they were fine.
A group of people in official uniforms came up, along with three sedan chairs.
When these people walked quickly in front of Pu Kun, they all bowed down and knelt on the ground.
Leading the charge was Qi Tao, the prefect of Dazhou. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I was unaware of your arrival in Dazhou and arrived a step too late, causing your fall into the water. I deserve death."
Yu Jinshu got down from Pu Kun's arms.
Pu Kun looked at the sedan chair and said coldly, "You know you deserve death, so you should make amends and let the sedan chair come over."
Qi Tao quickly stood up to make way and said to the sedan bearer behind him, "Come here quickly."
When the sedan chair came over, Pu Kun helped Yu Jinshu onto it, then he got on and asked Chen Faliang to get on.
Chen Faliang is in his fifties and has poor leg bones.
There are many hills here and the roads are rugged.
After arriving at the government office, Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu were arranged to bathe and change clothes. After having a meal, they went to the lobby of the government office and reprimanded the people for blocking the river.
Qi Tao and officials of all ranks knelt in the hall, trembling with fear as they looked at the emperor sitting on the high throne.
Du Jiangong and several guards joined forces with the government officials to arrest eight people, who were the ones who had previously fanned the flames behind the crowd.
After being severely tortured, these people confessed.
Someone paid them to spread the news in the city that the emperor had arrived at the Dazhou River, and asked them to force Yu Daxueshi into the river.
But the man had a cloth covering his face at the time, so it was hard to see what he looked like.
In the end, this matter did not produce any result. All we know is that this time it was also aimed at Yu Jinshu.
These eight people dared to take money to force Yu Daxueshi to death, causing the emperor to fall into the river. Naturally, he died.
Some people are still being arrested.
Pu Kun sensed the danger outside the palace. He wanted to take Yu Jinshu to settle the reservoir matter as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible.
In the capital, those who had returned earlier transferred dozens of secret guards to Dazhou to secretly protect the emperor and Grand Secretary Yu.
The news from the capital was also sent over. That day, the Queen and the concubines left the palace, and only the Queen returned to the Duke's Mansion.
It was also discovered that the Duke's Mansion had contacts with people from the Seven Fans Pavilion.
When Pu Kun heard the news, he realized that it was the Queen who wanted to kill Yu Jinshu.
He was extremely angry and gritted his teeth, "Capture the Queen and confiscate the entire Duke's Mansion and hold them accountable."
"Your Majesty." Yu Jinshu walked over. "I feel that we haven't yet obtained all the evidence against Your Majesty, so it's not appropriate to alert the enemy."
If the Queen is arrested without sufficient evidence and the Duke's family's property is confiscated, there will definitely be people who will question the Emperor's actions, and disaster will probably occur.
Pu Kun looked at Yu Jinshu and felt extremely distressed. The queen almost killed her.
Yu Jinshu said, "If we don't alert the enemy, the Queen will definitely strike again. If we can directly obtain evidence that the Queen is plotting to murder me, and then punish the Queen and the Duke's Mansion, we can convince them with the law."
"Get the evidence against the Queen directly!" Pu Kun frowned. He already had an idea in his mind.
The next three to five days were all busy with the reservoir issue.
Everything was arranged, Chen Faliang stayed in Dazhou, and Pu Kun took Yu Jinshu back to the capital.
Along the way, they encountered several assassination attempts by the Seven Fans Pavilion, but with the help of secret guards, all the assassins of the Seven Fans Pavilion were killed.
When they were still forty miles away from the capital, Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu rested here and sent a letter to the Duke's Mansion, inviting the Queen and concubines to visit here, thus fulfilling his previous promise to them.
At the Duke's Mansion, Queen Xu Huan has been worried. She has tried several times but failed to kill Yu Jinshu, and she is afraid that she will not be able to continue to be the queen.
If he fails, where will the reputation of the Duke's Mansion be?
At this time, the emperor's attendant sent a letter inviting the queen to visit Lishui Villa in the suburbs of Beijing. Xu Huan felt that the opportunity had come.
Since the assassins couldn't kill Yu Jinshu, she would do it herself.
