It turned out to be a large patch of water plants, and she forcefully tore at the water plants that were tangled around her feet.
Because of her struggle, the seaweed was now tightly wrapped around her ankles.
She found herself suffocating and quickly swam upwards, but because she had been in the water for too long, she had run out of strength.
She struggled a few times, and her mind began to go blank.
She felt as if her body was being crushed by a heavy object, unable to move. Her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her eyes began to turn bloodshot. She could clearly feel herself slowly sinking, water flowing into her nose and mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe.
This is drowning, the helplessness and despair of life being trapped in dark waters.
"This body will eventually die in the water..."
"Li Nannan, our lives are truly miserable! We've been incompatible with this water..."
Her mind gradually went blank, and the last thing she saw was a beloved face appear before her eyes. "What's there to worry about! What's there to worry about!"
"I...I...broke my promise after all, I'm sorry..."
"Why worry!"
She closed her eyes in despair, tears silently streaming from the corners of her eyes into the cold lake water.
The smoke cleared and the clouds dispersed.
With a splash, a lithe figure swam frantically into the lake.
"Nannan! Nannan! Wait for me, please wait for me..."
He You's eyes instantly became bloodshot. At this moment, he was like a water demon, hysterically swimming towards his Nan Nan.
Finally, he saw the figure slowly sinking. He swam towards her with all his might, gently embraced her as if she were a precious treasure, and carried her to the surface.
Feeling resistance for no apparent reason, He You looked down and found that her ankles were tightly entangled in water plants. He quickly turned around, tore the water plants off, and swam out of the water with her.
"It's alright, Nan Nan, we'll be ashore soon, don't be afraid~" His voice was choked with sobs, his eyes reddened, like a beautiful water sprite, desolate yet captivating.
Unfortunately, the person in his arms seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and his body did not tremble at all.
The figure gradually swam towards the shore...
Upon hearing that a princess and a county princess had both fallen into the water, the birthday banquet was forced to be terminated.
The imperial physicians went in and out of the Empress Dowager's side room, each one rushing in and then shaking their heads and sighing as they left.
The prime minister and his wife stood anxiously outside the door.
Li Hong's face was solemn, and his eyes were slightly red. His heart felt like it was being pierced by countless needles, and his head was being shaken violently hundreds of times, making him feel dizzy and disoriented.
He tried to remain calm, but his whole body trembled slightly involuntarily due to the extreme sorrow in his heart.
Wang Dong burst into hysterical sobs, her soft whimpers filled with despair, "Nan Nan, Nan Nan..." she kept murmuring her name.
When the most authoritative imperial physician, Zhou Xizheng, came out, he sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said nothing more.
Anyone standing there can tell what it means at a glance.
"No……"
Wang Donghui's mournful cries seemed to echo throughout the entire palace. The Emperor and Empress Dowager, sitting in the main hall, couldn't help but be startled. They both shook their heads helplessly, their faces solemn.
The last thread in Li Hong's mind seemed to snap instantly, and he staggered back a few steps, only to be quickly supported by the servants behind him.
Wang Donghui ran into the room in a panic, and when he looked up, he saw Li Baobei lying motionless on the bed, and his heart ached violently.
She rushed over, grasped Li Baobei's hand, and whispered in despair and tenderness, "Nannan, Mother is here, look at Mother! Open your eyes and look at Mother... quick..."
As the warmth of the delicate hand in his palm slowly faded, Wang Dong felt his heart crumble and shatter along with the disappearing warmth.
Tears blurred her vision, she let out a desperate cry, and then everything went black before she fainted.
"Help! Help! The Prime Minister's wife has fainted..."
Prime Minister Li looked at the person lying on the bed and couldn't help but choke up. His eyes were filled with tears as he tried hard to suppress the sorrow in his heart so that the tears wouldn't fall.
Seeing Wang Dong suddenly faint, he quickly stepped forward and picked her up, his eyes filled with utter despair, as if he too was about to faint at any moment.
At this moment, He You sat in the side hall, his nerves taut. He was soaked to the bone but didn't feel cold at all. His eyes were dark as he stared at the open door.
Imagine the next second, that little person in your heart appears at the door, bouncing around happily, calling out sweetly, "Lord He..."
But there was no movement outside the door for a long time. He felt like he was going crazy, he was really about to collapse. He felt so bad, as if a sharp knife was piercing his heart, making it hard to breathe.
He You's eyes were red and bloodshot, her pale face was lifeless, and her whole body exuded a terrifying chill.
Anji stood quietly beside He You, and couldn't help but worry as he looked at He You's condition.
Because of Li Nannan's appearance, the master had finally become a little more like a normal person. Now, if something were to happen to Li Nannan, he didn't even want to think about what would happen to the master.
Last time Li Nannan was injured by Ma Rong, her master seemed to have transformed into a bloodthirsty demon.
Thinking back on it now, Anji couldn't help but shudder, silently crying out, "Li Dabao! You must take good care of yourself..."
A eunuch hurriedly ran towards the courtyard where He You was, moving extremely fast and panting heavily, but he dared not relax for a moment.
This person was one of the secret agents of the Dark Cult within the palace.
Hearing footsteps approaching from outside, the darkness in He You's eyes lessened, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
