Jiang Chuwei glared fiercely at Lin Muheng, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Qingning strode to the shore and shouted to Su Qianqian, who was struggling in the water, "Miss Su! Quickly grab this bamboo pole, or you really won't be able to get up here. In that case, I'll have to call the guards to come and rescue you!"
Upon hearing Princess Qingning's words, Su Qianqian dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly reached out to tightly grasp the life-saving bamboo pole.
At the same time, several eunuchs on the shore worked together to slowly pull Su Qianqian out of the water.
In fact, from the moment Su Qianqian first saw the Empress and her entourage, she was filled with resentment and anger towards her.
She was about to succeed. If she just held on a little longer, the Emperor would surely not stand idly by and watch her face danger.
As long as Jiang Chuwei doesn't cause trouble, the Emperor definitely won't have the heart to let me struggle in the water for too long.
However, upon hearing Princess Qingning's threat to summon guards for rescue, she had no choice but to quickly climb ashore using a bamboo pole.
If she were to be rescued by the guards, her reputation would be completely ruined, and she would likely be forced to marry one of them.
This is not the ending she hoped for! How could she accept this!
Finally, with the help of the eunuchs, Su Qianqian was able to get ashore safely.
However, she was already soaked to the bone and stood in front of everyone looking disheveled.
Looking around, there was no other man to be found except for the emperor, who was high above him.
Su Qianqian glanced at the Emperor with extremely resentful eyes, thinking with a heart full of grievance, "What is it about me that Jiang Chuwei is inferior to? Why is the Emperor so heartless and cruel, preferring to watch me suffer in the water rather than personally go into the water to save me?"
So, Su Qianqian gritted her teeth and decided to go all out!
She completely disregarded the fact that she was soaking wet, and her exquisite figure was thus laid bare before the Emperor's eyes.
She was gambling: maybe the emperor was just attracted to her figure!
Just then, Princess Qingning couldn't help but sneer: "Oh ho, Miss Su! Look at your current disheveled appearance, you actually dare to try to seduce my fifth brother? You have no shame, don't make a fool of yourself here!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian's face turned deathly pale. Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly grabbed a cloak and rushed forward to cover her mistress's body.
Princess Qingning could see through Su Qianqian's deliberate act, and everyone present knew what she was thinking.
With the Empress present, Su Qianqian still dared to blatantly seduce him, completely disregarding the Empress.
Jiang Chuwei, who had been observing coldly, remained expressionless and instructed the maid beside her, "Quickly take Miss Su to the side hall to change her clothes!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
However, the moment she lowered her head, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, which did not escape Jiang Chuwei's sharp gaze.
Moreover, Lin Muheng, who was standing not far away, also witnessed this scene.
In an instant, Lin Muheng's previously expressionless face suddenly turned icy cold.
Then, he spoke slowly in an extremely cold voice: "The eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor, Su, dared to openly seduce me, and her behavior was reckless and impulsive. From this day forward, she shall never again set foot in the palace!"
As soon as the words were spoken, those icy and chilling words seemed to transform into sharp gusts of cold wind, blowing straight into the hearts of everyone present.
Su Qianqian was so shocked that she trembled all over, stumbled, and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
"Miss!" Upon seeing this, the maid following behind Su Qianqian was terrified and cried out in alarm.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned towards the direction where the Emperor was, and even Jiang Chuwei looked astonished.
After all, everyone knows that Lin Muheng has always been indifferent to women other than the Empress, and he is too lazy to even give them a second glance. But his ruthless and ruthless actions today are truly unexpected.
The Emperor uttered those words casually, as if they were just a slip of the tongue, but for Miss Su, it was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering her world.
Su Qianqian stood there stunned as if struck by lightning, her beautiful face turning deathly pale in an instant.
Unable to withstand such a heavy blow, her body swayed precariously. Just as the Emperor finished speaking, she finally gave in, her vision went black, and she fell straight backward.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuwei glanced at her indifferently and ordered expressionlessly, "Hurry up and take her there."
Upon hearing the order, the eunuchs hurriedly lifted the unconscious Su Qianqian and rushed towards the side hall.
At this moment, Lin Muheng, who had been standing at a distance observing coldly, slowly walked towards the Empress after seeing that the people had been carried away.
As he approached step by step, the icy chill that had surrounded him gradually dissipated, replaced by a gentle warmth.
When Qingning and the others saw the emperor approaching, they quickly and respectfully bowed, then discreetly retreated to the side, leaving enough space for the emperor and empress to be alone.
Jiang Chuwei stared quietly at Lin Muheng. When she saw the anger still burning in Lin Muheng's eyes, she understood.
It seems the Emperor's actions were undoubtedly to vent his anger.
That reckless Su Qianqian dared to openly seduce the Emperor in broad daylight, and when facing the Empress, the mother of the nation, she made no attempt to conceal her hostility.
The fact that the Emperor did not immediately order punishment for the Su family is already a great act of mercy.
Ignoring the gazes of those around him, Lin Muheng reached out and gently took Empress Jiang Chuwei's hand, speaking softly, "Has Your Majesty been frightened?"
However, Jiang Chuwei smiled slightly and replied softly, "I'm not so much frightened, but I'm fortunate to have witnessed such a wonderful show today."
"They're just some clowns; Your Majesty need not take them to heart!"
