The emperor was breathing heavily, his neatly combed hair was a little messy, a few strands of gray hair were floating on his cheeks, his clothes were untidy, and he looked disheveled.
"I'm fine." The emperor held his son's hand and comforted him. His voice was a little empty, and the feeling of being grounded under his feet made him feel relieved.
This incident was extremely dangerous and happened at lightning speed.
From the time the guardrail of the pleasure boat broke and the emperor fell into the water, to now when the emperor was rescued back onto the pleasure boat, the whole process happened within three or four breaths. Many people nearby didn't even realize what was happening before everything was over.
Except for Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei, no one noticed that the emperor had floated on the water in such a strange posture.
Everyone just thought that Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi worked together to use whips to pull the emperor who fell off the pleasure boat in time, so the emperor did not fall into the water.
Looking at the emperor who was safe and sound, Gu Yanfei breathed a sigh of relief and re-assembled the Black Flame Whip.
fine.
Gu Yanfei's eyes were shining brightly, and there was a sly curve at the corners of his lips.
When Empress Dowager Yuan asked her to calculate the emperor's physical condition, Gu Yanfei actually did a real calculation and found out that the emperor would encounter a disaster today. Although this disaster would not be fatal, it would still cause the emperor to suffer some pain.
This small world has almost no spiritual energy. She could calculate that the emperor would be in trouble today, but she couldn't tell when. Later, when they were in Tinglan Water Pavilion, Gu Yanfei specially gave the emperor the amulet.
Ever since the emperor appeared on the pleasure boat, Gu Yanfei had been keeping an eye on him, and was able to rescue him in time.
"I told you, I'm here." Gu Yanfei smiled brightly at Chu Yi, his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, with a bit of flying like walking on the clouds and chasing the wind.
She was willing to help the emperor, half for Chu Yi and the other half because of the emperor's kindness to her.
Besides...
Gu Yanfei glanced at Chu You, who was standing not far away with a gloomy look.
She just doesn't want to see King Kang happy!
Chu Yi looked at her without blinking, a soft smile between his gentle brows, as if a ray of warm sunshine blew away the haze in his heart, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
"emperor!"
The chief eunuch Zhao Rang shouted in a trembling voice, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and his face was as pale as paper.
At this moment, several eunuchs and guards all rushed towards the emperor. Some asked about his health, some hurried to get his cloak, and some went to support the emperor.
The others finally came back to their senses from the thrilling accident.
The emperor almost fell into the lake. In this cold winter, the lake water was freezing cold, and the emperor's health was not good. If he really fell into the water, even if the palace servants could rescue him in time, after such a toss, even a strong young man might not be able to withstand it, let alone the emperor who was always weak and sick. It is conceivable that the emperor would most likely fall seriously ill and even be unable to get out of bed for ten days or half a month.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine." The emperor waved Zhao Rang's hand away, and patted Chu Yi's arm soothingly.
After the initial shock, the emperor had recovered. Although there was still some lingering fear in his eyes on his pale face, there was a hint of smile on his lips again.
"Nannan." The emperor smiled apologetically at Anle who was a few steps away, "Your hand warmer fell into the lake. I will compensate you with one later."
"Father..." Anle's eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were red like a rabbit.
Her voice was trembling, and finally she couldn't control her tears and they fell one by one from the corners of her eyes, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
When she heard the sound of someone falling into the water just now, she really thought that her father had fallen into the lake and was really worried that something might have happened to him.
Empress Dowager Yuan and Chu You and his mother originally thought so and expected the same thing, but they didn't expect that it was just the sound of the hand warmer falling into the water, not the emperor falling into the water.
Empress Dowager Yuan frowned, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the armrests of the chair.
The emperor coaxed his precious daughter for a long time before he finally made her stop crying and laugh.
Anle wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Father, I will give you another hand warmer. You must carry it every day from now on."
The little girl thought that it was the hand warmer that helped her father ward off disaster, and her eyes, washed by tears, were sparkling.
"Okay, okay." The emperor responded repeatedly and swore to his daughter that he would hide the hand warmer she gave him safely in his sleeve.
When his fingers touched his sleeve pocket again, it was no longer hot.
The emperor's idea suddenly moved, and he quickly took out the red brocade bag from his sleeve pocket. When he held the bag in his palm, he felt that it was still warm.
He quickly opened the brocade bag.
After he got this treasure bag, he took out the amulet inside and touched it several times, but now, the amulet is gone, only black and gray ashes remain.
Chu Yi was right next to the emperor, very close, and could see everything clearly. He naturally thought of the amulet she had given him in Danyang City.
Chu Yi curled his lips and calmly touched his sleeve pocket, where there was also a brocade bag hidden.
The emperor clutched the brocade bag, looked at Gu Yanfei who was a few steps away, and said with a smile: "Girl, thanks to you for saving me just now."
The emperor's slender fingers stroked the big red brocade bag repeatedly several times, his eyes and movements were full of meaning.
To others, they thought the emperor said this because Gu Yanfei had whipped him in time.
With the emperor's words, it meant that Gu Yanfei became the emperor's savior.
For a moment, all the burning eyes around were cast on Gu Yanfei, some with envy, some with jealousy, some with amazement, and some with pride.
The faces of the girls from the noble families all looked unhappy.
Ever since they went to Shanglinyuan Hunting Ground, they have regarded Gu Yanfei as their biggest competitor.
However, their families have analyzed that although the eldest prince has a special eye for Gu Yanfei, Gu Yanfei's family background is too embarrassing. Even if the eldest prince is willing, the emperor may not agree.
Now that Gu Yanfei has the merit of saving the emperor, even the emperor will look up to her a little more.
If the position of the eldest prince's consort was lost, would they, the daughters of a noble family, be forced to be concubines of the eldest prince? !
As girls from aristocratic families, they can't afford to lose face!
Yu Chaoyun's face looked even uglier, paler than before, and the hand holding the handkerchief was shaking even more violently.
Several girls next to her were whispering to each other, but the voices could no longer reach her ears, and her heart sank with anxiety.
Chu Yi ordered Zhao Rang to stay by the emperor's side and serve him, while he walked towards the broken guardrail at the edge of the pleasure boat.
Gu Yanfei was also checking the guardrail.
The wooden railings had jagged edges, and due to being exposed to the wind and sun, some of the paint had fallen off, the wood had rotted, and some wood chips had fallen off the edge of the deck.
It looked like the guardrail had fallen into disrepair, so it suddenly broke when the emperor approached it.
