As soon as Lu Yan uttered these words, everyone looked shocked and turned to look at Sun Jian, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
So what this guy said earlier was true?
Was he really saving people?
But what was the reason for his actions after he pulled the person out of the water?
Li Ganrou's eyes flickered, and she picked up Lu Yan and placed her in her arms.
He then pointed to Sun Jian standing to the side and asked, "Did he save you?"
"yes!"
Lu Yan glanced at Sun Jian, then nodded earnestly, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Li Ganrou glanced at Sun Jian and continued to ask Lu Yan, "Then what are your clothes...?"
Lu Yan recalled for a moment, "It seems that he tore it when he used force to pull me out of the water."
I see!
It seems that Sun Jian didn't tear the clothes intentionally; he really did it to save someone.
With this statement, the truth has come to light.
Li Ganrou was stunned for a moment, and a sense of apology suddenly welled up in her heart. She glanced at Sun Jian again, still somewhat unconvinced.
"Do you know what he did to you?"
"I……"
The egrets and swallows clearly lack this awareness.
When a person drowns and loses consciousness, the vast majority of cases involve a loss of awareness.
Fortunately, she had been underwater for no more than 5 minutes, so chest compressions and artificial respiration were quickly effective.
Lu Yan tried hard to recall that part of her memory when she was vaguely awake.
Although it wasn't comprehensive, she seemed to still have a tiny bit of an impression.
"I seem to remember that before I woke up, he was performing chest compressions on me, and that's when I vomited up the water..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn it!
So saving her wasn't a complete waste!
This girl finally cleared her name; otherwise, Sun Jian really wouldn't have been able to explain what artificial respiration was all about.
Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, not only Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone present also felt relieved.
The truth is now out.
All of Sun Jian's words, from beginning to end, seem true. Perhaps he really was trying to save people?
Li Ganrou gave Sun Jian a complicated look, then touched Lu Yan's forehead.
"Luyan, I'm so glad you're alright."
"Alright, take Lu Yan downstairs and take good care of her."
"Yes, sir!"
As the truth came to light, Consort Yi stood up, glanced at Sun Jian, and shook her head with a wry smile.
I almost made a huge blunder today.
Although Consort Yi dared not believe the previous inference, she had witnessed Sun Jian's actions firsthand.
Now that Lu Yan has said it herself, it should be true.
It seems there really is such a way to save lives in this world.
Li Ganrou also stood up, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
It was indeed excessive to wrongly accuse Sun Jian so severely and then order several eunuchs to take action without even investigating the facts...
At this moment, the anger and contempt in her heart had long since faded, replaced by apology and guilt.
Sun Jian spoke first: "Your Highness Consort Yi, Your Highness the Princess, now the truth is out, isn't it? Can I be cleared of suspicion?"
“I’m telling you, she’s been in the water for more than 3 minutes. If we had delayed any longer, her heart would have stopped beating. Only the rescue measures we just took could have saved her.”
Consort Yi smiled and said apologetically, "Lord Sun, I apologize for what happened today. It seems that I have indeed wronged you."
"Omitted~"
Li Ganrou didn't say anything, but stuck out her cute little tongue at Sun Jian.
Asking a legitimate princess to apologize is impossible, okay?
This guy might be a pervert at heart!
He did the right thing by saving her, but who knows if he took advantage of Lu Yan!
Although she thought this way, Li Ganrou knew that she was indeed in the wrong today.
Sun Jian shrugged, indicating that he didn't care, as long as he didn't have to pay for the medicine for the four eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. It's enough to clear up the misunderstanding."
"Excellent! Lord Sun truly possesses extraordinary bearing."
"Actually, upon closer reflection, it makes sense. Lord Sun is exceptionally talented in both literature and martial arts, and is a pillar of the court. He is also highly valued by His Majesty and now holds an important position. He would not act in such a way in broad daylight in the Imperial Garden."
"I have also had the pleasure of reading Lord Sun's poem 'Prelude to Water Melody.' I think that someone who can write such a masterpiece must not be this kind of person."
Upon hearing Consort Yi's words, Sun Jian inwardly scorned her.
Why didn't you do this sooner?
Shouldn't these words have been said from the beginning?
"Listen up, all of you! The misunderstanding has been cleared up. Do not gossip about this again!"
After speaking, Consort Yi turned to the many eunuchs and palace maids around her.
"Everyone, disperse!"
"yes……"
The eunuchs and palace maids bowed in unison and agreed.
[Ding! The system has detected that Li Ganrou's favorability towards you has increased by 1 +1 +1 +1... Current value: 9 points]
Upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Sun Jian gasped.
hiss!
Good heavens!
This princess has a temper that can flare up at any moment, and she can just leave whenever she wants.
Just like her brother and father, they can change their minds faster than flipping through a book.
It was -7 just now, and now it's turned into +9 in the blink of an eye. The speed at which it triggers is unbelievable.
Great, the regular lottery will be triggered soon.
"Since Lord Sun is accompanying Princess Chang Le on His Majesty's orders, and the previous matter has come to an end, then I will not disturb him any further."
"Respectfully seeing off Consort Yi."
After seeing Consort Yi off, only Sun Jian, Li Ganrou, and her maid remained on the ground.
There were originally two maids, but now there's only one left, making her feel a bit like a third wheel.
"Your Highness, everyone has left. Don't you have anything to say to this humble subject?"
Sun Jian took a few steps forward and looked at Li Ganrou with a helpless expression.
"I……"
Li Ganrou's pretty face immediately turned red, and she stammered as she spoke.
"Who knew you were... saving... saving someone?"
Recalling Sun Jian's actions towards Lu Yan, Li Ganrou's face turned even redder.
"Alright, it doesn't matter if you don't apologize. After all, you are a princess, extremely noble, while I am just a lowly tutor to the crown prince and a deputy captain in the army."
Sun Jian shrugged indifferently.
Li Ganrou hesitated for a moment, biting her red lips tightly, before apologizing loudly, "Then...then I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"Alright, then I'll reluctantly accept."
Hearing the proud princess apologize, Sun Jian was overjoyed.
"Hmph! What do you mean by 'reluctantly'?"
Princess Chang Le gave a coquettish laugh and continued, "You just said that Father Emperor sent you?"
"Yes, His Majesty is busy with official duties, and considering that he has repeatedly failed to keep you company, he sent me to spend half a day with you."
Sun Jian bluntly stated, "He said he wanted me to take you to see the fish and admire the flowers, and to take a boat trip on the lake."
Li Ganrou sighed softly, "Alright, this is the 9th time Father has broken his promise."
"However, considering that you're here with me today, I won't hold it against Father!"
