Chapter 59: Isn't it good to be alive? Why do you have to seek death and provoke Xiaojiu?
At this time, Lu Yan, who had been dizzy, floated to the surface of the water.
Lu Heng's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Isn't that the second brother?"
Lu Yuan looked in the direction he pointed and was startled.
"Someone come, the second prince has fallen into the water, come and rescue him quickly." Lu Heng shouted.
The little palace maid who had come back from fetching water was startled and all the water in her hands spilled.
Only when she saw Lu Li being held in Lu Heng's arms did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not the Ninth Princess who fell into the water, otherwise, even if all the people on the list of her family members died, the Emperor would not be able to ease his anger.
Hearing Lu Heng's cry, the disguised secret guard dived into the pool and picked up Lu Yan.
When the secret guard was carrying the person away, he happened to run into Lu Ran coming back with glutinous rice dumplings.
Lu Ran saw it from a distance and thought it was Lu Heng or Lu Li falling into the water. She was so scared that her legs went limp.
"Sister Lu Ran, are the glutinous rice dumplings ready?" Lu Heng saw her and asked.
Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Lu Ran's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Lu Ran opened his mouth and almost blurted out: It's already this time, and you're still in the mood to eat.
But she couldn't say this, so she could only hand the glutinous rice balls over silently.
Lu Heng took a bite and was very satisfied.
Lu Yuan on the side was distraught and confused as to whether she should take action or not.
"Third Prince, what happened? Why did the Second Prince fall into the water?" Lu Ran couldn't help but ask.
"I wasn't there at the time, you can ask her." Lu Heng pointed at the little palace maid.
The little maid trembled and told the whole story.
Lu Ran was angry and scared. She didn't care that her master was beside her and cursed on the spot: "Did you leave your brain in Weiyang Palace? How could you leave the little princess to the care of the second prince alone? The second prince almost killed the little princess!!!"
The young maiden knew nothing about this, and when she heard this, her face turned pale with fright.
"Sister Lu Ran, I was wrong, I didn't know..." She was so scared that she burst into tears on the spot.
[What is Lu Yuan doing in a daze? Lu Yan has failed, so will she take action or not? ]
[Since we are here, why don’t we solve it together? 】
Lu Li stared at Lu Yuan the whole time and became a little anxious.
She came out today with the intention of catching them all in one fell swoop.
Lu Heng heard his sister's thoughts and suggested, "Fourth sister, didn't they say that the beast farm was on fire? Let's go and take a look. The two eunuchs in my palace haven't come back yet."
Lu Yuan, who was originally a little hesitant about whether to take action, decided decisively to take action after hearing this.
Otherwise, the next time Lu Li goes to the zoo, it will be a long time.
"Okay, let's go. I'll go with you to find them." Lu Yuan agreed.
But Lu Ran disagreed.
She always felt that the Fourth Princess was hostile towards their little princess, and that the Third Prince was a heartless man. She was not comfortable leaving them alone.
"Third Prince, we have been out for a long time today. I am afraid the little princess must be frightened. Let's go back to the palace first."
"Besides, we still need to ask the Queen for advice on how to deal with this palace maid."
[Royal brother, don't listen to Sister Lu Ran, let's go to the Beast Zoo. ]
Lu Li got angry and pointed in the direction of the Beast Garden.
That direction is opposite to Weiyang Palace.
Anyone with eyes could see that she was going to the zoo.
In order to let Lu Heng know her determination, she even pretended to cry.
Lu Heng hurriedly coaxed, "Go, go, I will take you to the Beast Garden now."
Lu Li stopped crying immediately.
"See, Xiaojiu doesn't want to go back yet. You guys go first. With me and the Fourth Princess watching over her, nothing will happen to her." Lu Heng looked at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran had no choice but to agree as he couldn't persuade them.
After all, the master's orders cannot be disobeyed.
She decided to go back quickly to report the matter to the Empress Dowager, and come back as soon as possible.
Seeing her leave, Lu Yuan felt more relieved.
Lu Heng is a fool. He will find a way to get him away and throw Lu Li in front of the iron-eating beast. Even if she is not bitten to death, she will be half-crippled.
Lu Yuan had made her plans and her mood improved. She was looking forward to the upcoming trip to the zoo.
Soon we arrived at the Beast Park.
Lu Heng looked around but did not see the two young eunuchs in his palace.
I asked the eunuch who was in charge of the zoo, and he said that they had entered the garden, put out the fire, and were no longer seen.
Lu Yuan took the opportunity to suggest: "How about we go in and look for it?"
【Hurry up and agree to her! 】
Lu Li was more anxious than Lu Heng.
"Okay, let's go in." Lu Heng smiled and nodded.
"My two masters, please do not go to the bamboo forest in the south. There are iron-eating beasts captured there by the emperor, and they have not been trained yet." The eunuch in charge of the beast garden reminded them.
"Got it." Lu Heng nodded and followed Lu Yuan in.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Li in his arms and said, "Third brother, you must be tired after holding Xiao Jiu for so long. How about I hold her instead?"
Without waiting for Lu Heng's response, Lu Li took the initiative to reach out and throw himself into Lu Yuan's arms.
"Look, Xiaojiu also wants me to hug her." Lu Yuan reached out and held Lu Li in her arms.
Lu Heng's hands were also sore, so he let her go.
When he saw what happened to Lu Yan, he knew that if Lu Yuan did something bad, his fate would not be good either.
Isn't it good to be alive? Why do you have to seek death and provoke Xiaojiu?
He looked at Lu Yuan with sympathy.
Lu Yuan deliberately took them around in circles.
She had checked the route in advance and knew that she could go behind the bamboo forest by going around the Peacock Garden and crossing the small bridge in the middle.
So I took them there on purpose.
As we got closer to the bamboo forest, we came to the territory of the iron-eating beast.
"Fourth sister, something is wrong. Why are we in the bamboo forest? We can't come here." Lu Heng stopped her.
"This is not the same bamboo forest as the one in the south, don't worry." Lu Yuan deliberately interrupted.
Lu Heng had no choice but to follow her into the bamboo forest.
His sister could even summon the sun, so a mere iron-eating beast would certainly be no problem for her.
Lu Heng is full of confidence in his sister.
Lu Li didn't expect that the iron-eating beast hadn't discovered them yet, so she had to cry loudly to attract its attention.
Sure enough, the next second, a rustling sound came from the bamboo forest.
A tall, round, black and white panda appeared.
"Iron-eating beast!" Lu Heng blurted out.
"Ahhh, let's run. It can eat people." Lu Yuan screamed deliberately to attract the giant panda over.
The giant panda thought it was a new toy prepared by humans, so it suddenly became excited and ran towards them quickly.
Even though Lu Heng had confidence in his sister, he was still frightened to the point of his legs going limp when he saw such a huge bear rushing towards him.
"Third brother, run!" Lu Yuan said, throwing Lu Li in her arms towards the giant panda that was rushing over.
Lu Heng was stunned. He never expected Lu Yuan to be so blatantly evil.
