Chapter 502: I Will Help You (3)
Princess Ming'an's maids panicked upon seeing her, frantically searching for bamboo poles or other tools to save her. Those who could swim were guards, but they were all men. Princess Ming'an was a royal bride, and anyone who touched her would be beheaded the next day. No one stepped forward to help. Besides... the place where Princess Ming'an fell into the water was simply too far away.
Shen Miao was pushed into the pond and fell from the edge of the pond, so the place where she fell into the water was not far from the edge of the pond. However, Princess Ming An was fine, but she fell directly into the middle of the pond and could not even reach the bamboo pole.
Shen Miao looked at this funny look and actually found it somewhat amusing. However, now was not the time to watch a show in the water. While everyone was busy and frantic, she was leisurely and contentedly swimming towards the edge of the pond.
When Fang swam to the edge of the pond, Jingzhe and Guyu were already panicking and trying to pull her up. Halfway through, they heard an angry shout: "What's going on?"
Two men approached from outside the garden. One wore a golden robe and a jade crown, his face gloomy and almost dripping with water, ruining his handsome appearance. The other wore a gilded purple robe, a dark cloak, and a silver mask covering half of his face. However, his handsome demeanor remained unchanged as he slowly followed Huangfu Hao's footsteps towards them.
"Your Highness, the princess has fallen into the water!" the servants hurriedly reported. Seeing the servants frantically scrambling, Huangfu Hao took a deep breath and subconsciously glanced at the expression of Prince Rui beside him. But Prince Rui was wearing a mask, his lips slightly curled, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He shouted to the guards behind him in a deep voice: "Go quickly!"
The guard's face froze, but he was helpless and flew into the pond. Perhaps he could swim and had some martial arts skills, so he immediately pulled the drenched Princess Ming'an to the shore.
Princess Ming An choked on a lot of water. The first thing she did when she got ashore was to scream and point at Shen Miao: “This bitch pushed me into the water. Brother Crown Prince, kill her for me!”
Princess Ming'an was also furious. She could even say such words in front of everyone. Huangfu Hao was shocked and stopped her, saying, "Ming'an!"
Princess Ming'an was stunned, only then noticing that Prince Rui was standing next to Huangfu Hao. She was startled, then her face flushed with anger. She felt so embarrassed in front of such a handsome man that if there was a hole in the ground, Princess Ming'an would have wanted to crawl into it. And all of this was thanks to Shen Miao.
Jingzhe couldn't help but refute on Shen Miao's behalf: "Your Highness, what you said is so unreasonable. It was clearly my daughter who fell into the water first, so how could I have the time to push Your Highness? My daughter is not a fairy, how could she have such supernatural powers?"
“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?” Princess Ming’an laughed instead of getting angry: “Are you saying that I am slandering Shen Miao? Come! Arrest this nonsense-talking slave girl!”
Shen Miao smiled coldly, blocking Jingzhe behind her, and said, "Your Highness the Princess is from the Qin State, Jingzhe is mine, this is Mingqi, when did the Qin State people become so unruly on Mingqi's land?"
She used the word "wild", which was not polite at all. Even Huangfu Hao couldn't help but look at her again.
"How dare you!" Princess Ming'an shouted.
"Your servant doesn't think I'm being presumptuous." Shen Miao's aura was not weakened at all. She was no longer the Queen Shen who had endured humiliation in Qin State. Besides, if she couldn't even protect a maid, her life would be wasted. Someone like Princess Ming'an, who relied on her status to act wildly, wouldn't even need to use her brains to deal with her.
