Chapter 282 The Plan Has Changed
Xiao Qing is actually quite good at swimming.
She just didn't expect Xiao Lang to fall...
She couldn't just leave him there after he fell, so she originally planned to take Xiao Lang to the shore first.
However, the force of Xiao Lang's fall was too great; after all, he was such a big and heavy person!
Moreover, Xiao Lang was holding her tightly, and people kept getting closer around them.
As she swam forward with Xiao Lang, she calmly analyzed the current situation.
These people underwater are definitely not one force.
She guessed that there were her people, the rats' people, Murdan's people, and—Xiao Lang's people—among them.
That's right, Xiao Lang got involved too.
Although she genuinely wanted to take good care of Xiao Lang as an older brother, she wasn't a blind and heartbroken fool.
Xiao Lang had his own thoughts.
He was not loyal to the Great Xiao, and he had no brotherly affection for his brothers who shared the same blood.
Although it is said that there is no true affection in the royal family, she looked at Xiao Lang and saw that his ruthlessness was not due to power struggles, but rather a deep sense of world-weariness.
There must be a reason for this, but she doesn't know it yet.
Finding this reason might strengthen Xiao Lang's will to survive.
When the time comes, a renowned doctor will come to treat him. If he maintains a positive and optimistic attitude, even if his leg doesn't get better, at least his overall health will gradually improve.
So when Xiao Lang said he wanted to spend the Lantern Festival alone with her, she knew there might be danger, but she still changed her plans slightly and took him into danger.
Not only that, she went to great lengths, genuinely wanting to give him a wonderful Lantern Festival, no matter the outcome.
She strolled through the streets, offered prayers, and released lanterns. Tonight, aside from her plan to lure the enemy in, every word she spoke and every action she took towards Xiao Lang came from the bottom of her heart.
She watched helplessly as someone was pulled up.
The mouse finally appeared.
Several people carrying weapons swam over quickly.
Some people were blocked, while others still rushed forward.
not good.
If she remembered correctly, this river connected to the moat and had a secret passage.
She and Xiao Lang couldn't stay in the water for long; they had to find a way to get ashore.
We also need to avoid disrupting the plan.
Two of them eventually got closer.
Xiao Qing hugged Xiao Lang tightly, brandishing a dagger in one hand as she swam forward with all her might.
Xiao Lang seemed to be in a bad state ever since he entered the water. His expression looked like he was trapped in a nightmare, but surprisingly, he still knew how to hold his breath.
We can't delay any longer.
During the fierce fight, Xiao Qing was injured.
To make matters worse, there are undercurrents in the river.
She clung tightly to Xiao Lang and swam instinctively.
She seemed to see Xingchen's anxious and terrified face. He swam desperately towards her, killing the two men, but he was getting further and further away from her.
Hang in there, just a little longer!
Ouch! Where did you bump yourself?
Fu Mingyi knocked over his teacup, feeling uneasy, when someone appeared from the shadows: "His Majesty has fallen into the water in the city."
Fu Mingyi was so startled that he stood up, but his hand slipped and he almost fell.
Before he could ask any more questions, someone outside the door reported: "Prince Yan has sent a message that His Majesty is unconscious and needs the Grand Tutor to enter the palace immediately."
Fu Mingyi barely managed to steady himself, exchanged a glance with the person in the darkness, and a worse suspicion formed in his mind.
"Go find it, and be quick."
"We've already added more staff."
The person in the darkness paused for a moment, then said, "Prince Lang also fell into the water. Xiao Chongle's men were found nearby."
Fu Mingyi forced himself to calm down. "I'm going to the palace. You can handle matters outside as they come."
In the palace, Xiao Yan stood by the bed, looking at the pale-faced person lying there.
Mingxiu threw herself against the bedside and sobbed.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Ma Hong and Chu Lianzhou also stood aside, frowning.
Ma Hong tried to approach, but Mingxiu swatted him away and yelled again, "Your Majesty!"
The imperial physician rushed over, but it wasn't the one who usually took his pulse; it was a completely unfamiliar face.
Just as Ma Hong was about to ask, "Mingxiu" pushed him aside again and hurriedly brought the imperial physician forward, while no one else was allowed to get close.
Chu Lianzhou sensed something was wrong and was about to step forward when Xiao Yan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is currently weak, and it's not good for too many people to crowd around. Let the imperial physician take a good look at you, and we'll go out first."
Chu Lianzhou glanced at him, then didn't go any further.
Once outside, everyone felt a strange, inexplicable feeling.
Ma Hong stayed by Xiao Qing's side all day, wanting to take a closer look, but was blocked by "Mingxiu" and could not get close.
Chu Lianzhou felt that "Mingxiu" was a bit strange, but then wondered if he was overthinking it and that the other party was just confused because she was concerned.
Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to Mingxiu's behavior; he felt strange all night.
First of all, his elder brother didn't spend the Lantern Festival with him! This is unprecedented in recent years!
Secondly, while he certainly likes hawthorn-filled glutinous rice balls, why tell him not to forget his studies? His elder brother would never say such a thing on a holiday; it's already a favor if he doesn't encourage him to skip school and play around on ordinary days!
Why leave Ma Hong here to eat with him? That's not in line with the Emperor's style.
The most important point.
Xiao Yan felt a little flustered.
Looking at his pale-faced elder brother on the bed, he felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity!
He knew he couldn't panic.
His hand gripped his sleeve tightly, a jumble of complex thoughts flashing through his mind.
Then he saw the Grand Tutor stride over.
He felt a little more at ease.
"Grand Tutor!" He stepped forward to greet him.
Fu Mingyi nodded to him.
Xiao Yan hurriedly tried to voice his guess, his face clearly showing panic.
Fu Mingyi patted his shoulder, "Your Highness, I will go in and take a look first. You need not worry."
Xiao Yan then shut his mouth and glanced around discreetly.
When Fu Mingyi went in, "Mingxiu" was still crying behind the imperial physician.
Upon seeing Fu Mingyi, she would stand in front of him to prevent him from getting close.
Unfortunately, Fu Mingyi simply pushed her away.
He took a few steps forward and saw the person on the bed.
Although his face remained expressionless, his heart sank deeply.
Xiao Qing! You really dare to do this!
The imperial physician withdrew his hand at this moment. "There is nothing seriously wrong. It's just that the patient was already weak and had been soaking in the water for too long, causing the cold to seep into the body. I will prescribe some medicine and the patient will recover in a couple of days."
"Thank you for your trouble, Physician Lin." Fu Mingyi cupped his hands in greeting.
Imperial Physician Lin glanced at him. "It is my duty. Please rest assured, Grand Tutor. His Majesty is a blessed man and will be well taken care of. He just needs to rest and recuperate."
After exchanging a few words, Physician Lin went to the side to write the prescription. "Mingxiu" hurriedly took the prescription out, glanced at the door, and handed the prescription to Ma Hong: "I don't trust anyone else to take His Majesty's medicine. You should take care of it yourself."
After saying that, he ignored them, saw the imperial physician off, turned around and quickly went inside, even closing the door behind him.
The person in the bed is still unconscious.
Mingxiu approached the bedside, waved her sleeve by the bed, made a gesture, and the two went to an open space to the side.
"What's going on?" Fu Mingyi asked telepathically.
"The young emperor changed the plan at the last minute. Although it was a bit risky, it was obviously more effective. However, your Prince Lang is not a kind person. I cannot go into the water, and I do not know the situation in the water."
Fu Mingyi's eyes turned red with anger, "How could you do such a thing!"
"Just follow the steps here. You should think about how to find him."
Who told you to have such a capricious master?
