People exclaimed, but they saw that the person who jumped into the lotus pond was quite good at swimming, and swam straight to where Xu and Lu Yao were. However, everyone was very unfamiliar with the woman who jumped into the water to save people, and they were discussing who she was. At this time, Feng Yuheng had already recognized that the person was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Miss Lu Ping.
She and Xuan Tiange exchanged a glance, and both of them showed a little confusion. Feng Yuheng was sure that Xu's fall into the water was related to Lu Yao, and she noticed that although Lu Yao was submerged in the water before Xu, it was not caused by drowning, but seemed to be done on purpose. Although she was not used to swimming, she was observant. Even if Lu Yao's thoughts and actions could escape the eyes of others, they could not be hidden from her. Lu Yao could swim, Feng Yuheng was very sure of this.
He had some idea in his mind, but his worries continued. Xu was still in the water and he couldn't be careless at all.
Huang Quan asked carefully beside her: "Miss, do you want me to go down and rescue them?"
Even though Feng Yuheng was worried, he could see that Lu Ping had already swam to where the two of them fell into the water, so he shook his head slightly, "No need for now, let's observe for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Lu Ping had already extended her hand to Xu, and this action really moved her heart. The one who fell into the water was Xu, and the other was Lu Ping's sister, but the other reached out to save Xu first and ignored Lu Yao, which was really intriguing.
Some people in the crowd began to cheer for Lu Ping. Although they didn't know who she was, they praised her spirit of diving into the water to save people. But at the same time, some people questioned the incident: "They were obviously admiring the lotus, how did they fall into the water? And how did they fall so far?"
This sentence made everyone stunned. Yes! Falling into the water was an accident, but at most he would have landed beside a lotus pond. There were lush lotus leaves in the pond, so how could he have floated so far?
Feng Yuheng was thinking about the same question, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Yao again. Although Lu Yao was in the water at this time, Feng Yuheng could clearly see that her hands were desperately pulling at Xu, and she even pushed Lu Ping away several times to grab Xu's hand.
She frowned, and suddenly felt that Lu Yao was trying to stop Lu Yan from rescuing people, but to outsiders, Lu Yao was just struggling because he was choked by water. Feng Yuheng was surprised and was about to order Huang Quan to go down and rescue people, but at this time, Lu Ping had already broken Lu Yao's obstruction and dragged Xu to swim quickly to the shore.
But as she swam, streaks of blood appeared in the water. The bloodstains began to spread from Lu Ping's face, and in the blink of an eye they dyed a large area of the lotus pond water.
People were shocked, and the timid ladies had already screamed. At this time, the palace servants also called the eunuchs over, and the powerful eunuchs hurriedly pulled the person out of the water. Feng Yuheng rushed over and slapped Xu's back hard, causing Xu to vomit a lot of dirty water in an instant.
Xu was not seriously injured. She was just a little frightened after spitting out the water. Fortunately, there were many people watching. The kind ladies had already taken dry clothes from the palace servants and wrapped Xu up. But Lu Ping was not as lucky as Xu. The veil covering her face had been torn off while swimming. Her originally beautiful face was exposed, but what people saw was a new ugly wound on her face. No one knew what caused the wound, but it turned blue-black. The blood that flowed out was getting darker and darker, and the left half of her face also changed color.
Feng Yuheng was shocked——"You were poisoned? What hurt you?"
Lu Ping tried to hold on and told her, "I was bitten by a bug. Princess, don't worry. This poison won't kill me. It only destroyed half of my face. Let's see how Madam Yao is doing first. Has she been bitten by a poisonous bug?"
Xu had regained consciousness by now. Upon hearing what Lu Ping said, she shook her head repeatedly, tears in her eyes, and hurriedly said, "May I ask which family the young lady is from? The young lady's life-saving grace will be repaid with all our strength by the Yao family. Don't worry, I'm not injured, that's because you have been protecting me and using your body to block the underwater insects for me, but your face..." She was shocked by what she saw, and couldn't help but say to Feng Yuheng, "Ah Heng, you have to help this young lady get well."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Don't worry, aunt."
At this time, the imperial physician who heard the news had already rushed over here. Feng Yuheng made room for the imperial physician and reached into her sleeves to take out special painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs from the space. She told the imperial physician how to use them and asked the imperial physician to use them on Lu Ping first. She had already seen that the wound on Lu Ping's face could not be cured, but at least it should not continue to spread, let alone cause complications due to infection.
Everyone gathered around Lu Ping and Xu, and the imperial doctors hurriedly treated them on the spot. However, no one noticed that there was another person soaking in the lotus pond. It was Lu Yao who fell into the water with Xu.
At this time, Lu Yao's head had emerged from the water, and she was staring at the shore in a daze. Especially when Feng Yuheng stood up and looked into the water, her face showed obvious confusion and unwillingness. Lu Yao didn't understand. Wasn't it Feng Yuheng who jumped down to save Xu when she fell into the water? Wasn't it said that she had a very good relationship with Xu? She had arranged for someone to call Feng Yuheng as soon as possible, so why was it Lu Ping who jumped down?
The person who jumped in to save the water was not Feng Yuheng. This was a fact that Lu Yao had just discovered. The moment Lu Ping was pulled ashore, she realized that the water bug she released had bitten the wrong person. Not only did it not harm Feng Yuheng, but it actually bit Lu Ping's face. Lu Yao was unwilling and secretly frightened. She knew that the Lu family had high hopes for Lu Ping. Although Lu Ping had a hidden illness, her stunning appearance was the reason why the Lu family had not given up until now. But now Lu Ping's face was ruined, and it was ruined by her own hands. This matter could be hidden from others but not from her father. If her father investigated it later, how would she explain it?
Lu Yaoren was floating in the water, her mind racing, her eyes moving in circles, and Feng Yuheng saw everything clearly.
This expression has betrayed her. Feng Yuheng is a smart person. How can she not understand what is going on when she sees Lu Yao like this? She only hates that Lu Yao wants to harm her but drags Xu into it. If Lu Ping hadn't been there today, Xu would have been drowned or seriously ill. Lu Yao's vicious mind made her determined not to let this scourge stay.
"Huang Quan." She ordered coldly, "Go into the water and save people."
Huang Quan was stunned, wondering why his young lady wanted to save Lu Yao by herself, but when she turned her head to look at Feng Yuheng's expression, the years of master-servant relationship made Huang Quan understand what she meant. So he raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded, saying, "I obey your command."
After saying that, he took off his outer robe and jumped into the water.
People heard a "splash" and turned around to see that someone else had jumped into the water to save the person. Only then did they realize - "Oh! There's another person in the water!"
The eunuch who came to rescue was also stunned. When he saw Feng Yuheng was there, and then saw that Xu was among the people who fell into the water, he didn't care about anyone else. He pulled Xu up and asked about her well-being, and had already forgotten about Lu Yao.
At this time, Huang Quan jumped into the water to save people. Although people wanted to watch, they felt that Xu and Lu Ping were more attractive. Therefore, those who turned back only watched for a while and then shifted their attention back.
Huang Quan swam towards Lu Yao. She was not a good swimmer, but how could Lu Yao know that? She didn't even know that Feng Yuheng couldn't swim. When she saw Huang Quan coming, she was instantly frightened and swam to the deepest part of the lotus pond without thinking, trying to avoid Huang Quan. Huang Quan sneered at this, but she didn't want Lu Yao to swim any further. After all, she knew her own swimming ability, so she exerted all her strength and suddenly grabbed Lu Yao's foot that was swinging backwards while swimming, and pulled her back.
Huang Quan's water ability is average, but she is good at martial arts and has great strength. When Huang Quan pulled Lu Yao, she was instantly back to the starting point. She was panicked, and Huang Quan did not shy away, pulling Lu Yao into the water.
However, Huang Quan could not sink for long. She raised her head and used her body to block Lu Yao so that people on the shore could not see what was happening. However, the pair of hands in the water held Lu Yao tightly, making it impossible for her to move at all.
Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tiange stood on the shore, staring at the movement in the water. Xuan Tiange asked her in a low voice: "Have you decided?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Some people, the more you want to let them off, the more they will commit suicide. I used to think that it was okay for her to bully Yao Shu, after all, Yao Shu was happy to do so, but this time, she even dragged my aunt into the water to harm me, I can no longer tolerate it."
"She's fine." Xuan Tiange's face turned cold. "My mother had long said that Lu Yao would be a disaster if she married into the Yao family. I didn't expect that this disaster would send herself to death so soon. This is also a good thing for the Yao family."
As the two were talking, the noise in the water had become much quieter, and Huang Quan had already started to swim towards the shore. He turned his head and winked at Feng Yuheng, who smiled and told Xuan Tiange, "It's done." Then he quickly took two steps forward and asked anxiously, "How is it? How is the young lady of the Yao family?"
Huang Quan shook his head underwater: "Miss, this is not good. She has been submerged in the water for too long. I don't know if she is still alive."
These words were spoken loudly and everyone heard them. They were shocked. They didn't expect that by failing to save someone, they would actually endanger the life of the young lady of the Yao family.
When Huang Quan swam to the shore, a strong eunuch reached out and pulled her and the other two up. Huang Quan was able to use some strength and was easily pulled ashore, but it took the eunuchs a lot of effort to get Lu Yao up. One of the older eunuchs shook his head while pulling Lu Yao and said, "It's so heavy, I'm afraid it's useless."
Sure enough, when the person was dragged to the shore, he lay like a dead pig, his clothes were messy, his hair was disheveled, and his stomach was bulging, obviously he had drunk a lot of water. People couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away, but Xu stared at Lu Yao for a long time, and then took the initiative to say to the imperial physician beside him: "That is our Yao Mansion's young lady, please ask the imperial physician to go over and take a look."
The imperial physician was stunned. He did not expect that the person being ignored was also from the Yao family. So he quickly stood up and went to Lu Yao to check. Feng Yuheng also went forward. Both of them were doctors. After checking, they shook their heads at the same time: "Young Madam of the Yao family has drowned."
