Chapter 195: Fight in Water
He Qingqing's light gray pupils dilated in fear.
She had never been threatened like this in her life.
The murderous intent in Wen Wan's eyes was so real that she had no doubt that the crazy woman in front of her really wanted to kill her.
Wen Wan exerted force on her hands, wishing she could strangle to death this woman who treated human life as worthless.
Can……
She can't.
At least, she couldn't kill He Qingqing directly with her hands.
Because she couldn't risk her own life.
Burning both oneself and the body is always the worst option.
The crowd around them screamed even louder, and the Queen's guards came to their senses and rushed in this direction.
Wen Wan didn't delay any longer, grabbed the queen's neck and rolled to the back.
Behind the two of them is the lotus pond.
In the summer lotus pond, dense lotus leaves are stacked one upon another, and only blooming lotus flowers are struggling to emerge from among the green leaves.
After the two women fell into the lotus pond, their figures were covered by the lotus leaves and they could not see what was happening below at all.
A guard who could swim immediately jumped in to rescue the man.
The sunlight on the water surface was blocked by the lotus leaves, and it was pitch black underwater.
After getting into the water, Wen Wan took off the dagger tied to her thigh, grabbed the queen, and stabbed the dagger into her abdomen.
Those who kill will be killed!
The gentle hands did not tremble at all.
All she could think of were the innocent people who had fallen at the temple fair.
Those elderly vendors may work from dawn to dusk just to sell a few more candied haws.
Those young children were just riding on their father's head, wanting to take a few more glances at this colorful world.
There are also young people who travel together. They have elderly parents and young children to support, but they just want to make more connections and earn more money to support their families next year.
What did they do wrong?
Why should they die in obscurity?
What made it even more difficult for her to accept was that the queen killed these people so casually, and with just a few sweet words, she actually made the murderers become heroes.
How could the powerful and wealthy who confuse right and wrong allow her to live so happily?

On the shore, the chaotic scene was quickly brought under control.
The crazy guards and servants were subdued, and the rest of the people stared at the water nervously.
The Queen Mother fell into the water. If anything happens to the Queen Mother, none of them can escape responsibility.
Those who could float went into the pond to rescue the person, and those who couldn't float took long bamboo poles to push aside the dense lotus leaves.
Shen Yu also searched in the water for a long time. At first, he didn't seem panicked, but later, when he still couldn't find Wen Wan's figure, his face began to look ugly.
The bottom of the lotus pond is full of mud. When there are more people, the water becomes muddy. After entering the water, you can't see anything and can only rely on luck and feeling to fish.
"There's blood! Who's hurt?"
After someone shouted, others also noticed a bright red color emerging from the pool.
Everyone swam in that direction.
Soon, someone carried the queen to the surface.
"It's the Queen! Find a doctor! Quick, the Queen is injured!"
The crowd pulled the unconscious queen ashore.
Shen Yu was still soaking in the water, his gaze swept in the direction of the Queen, and the worry in his eyes became even greater.
He gritted his teeth and plunged into the water again.
This time, he dived in for a very long time, so long that the people waiting on the shore were sweating for him.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the water, and Shen Yu emerged with Wen Wan in his arms.
Shen Yu carried Wen Wan into the house, leaving drops of blood on the ground wherever he passed.
Zhou Lingling couldn't float and couldn't go down to save them. Now she was following the two of them with her eyes wide open.
He saw the blood on the ground, gasped, and exclaimed: "It's all over! The heir of the general's mansion..."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw the blood on the ground, then looked up at the delicate woman in Shen Yu's arms.
I saw bright red blood dripping down Wenwan's legs.
Everyone was talking in fear.
"I heard that General Shen had a hard time having children. This time, I'm afraid..."
"The Empress is seriously injured, and the general's heir is in trouble. Today's matter is difficult to handle."
"Given General Shen's vindictive nature, I'm afraid this won't end well."
"Alas, I don't know if His Majesty will vent his anger on us."
"Even if His Majesty is angry with us for our ineffective rescue efforts, the worst that can happen is a demotion and a salary fine. But who knows what General Shen is capable of?"
When he was young, Chen Yu was the little bully of the imperial capital, a man who dared to go to the houses of the aristocratic families and tear down the roofs.
Everyone was worried and could only pray that the two women who fell into the water were safe.

After taking the patient's pulse, the doctor shook his head helplessly.
Shen Yu, who was standing beside the bed, had a gloomy expression on his face and asked sternly, "What do you mean by shaking your head?"
The doctor was frightened by his aura and said hesitantly, "Yes, the child was not saved. The aunt's blood and energy were depleted, and she no longer has a pulse."
Chen Yu's face remained stern. "What about her? How is she? Will she be left with any underlying illness? Why hasn't she woken up yet?"
The doctor looked at him in surprise and said quickly, "Auntie is fine. She may have fainted from holding her breath underwater for too long. She will wake up after resting well."
Shen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the door, a group of people were still waiting for news.
After Shen Yu sent the doctor out the door, he was surrounded by Meng Jin and Zhou Lingling.
In front of Princess Jiarou, Meng Jin's face showed no expression, but his eyes were full of anxiety.
"How is Aunt Wan?"
Shen Yu's face was filled with anger. Instead of answering, he grabbed Meng Jin by the collar and punched him in the face.
"Master Meng! My son is dead in your house. I will never let this go!"
Meng Jin's head was buzzing from the beating, and before he could react, he saw Shen Yu raise his fist again.
Seeing that the fist was about to fall again, Princess Jiarou rushed in front of Meng Jin and blocked him.
Princess Jiarou raised her head and growled, "General Shen! How dare you make random accusations? These things are not what Jinlang wants."
Shen Yu took a step forward, furious. "Just saying it wasn't his wish, can this matter be let go? He is the master of the Meng family, and he is the one who manages the Meng Mansion. If not him, who should I go to?"
Meng Jin stood up with the help of Princess Jiarou. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said through gritted teeth: "General Shen has such a bad temper! I am also an official of the imperial court. How can you beat me at will?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush towards Shen Yu.
Princess Jiarou quickly pulled him back and said:
"Jinlang, calm down. Why bother with a soldier like him? Besides, General Shen is also angry. His son, whom he had been waiting for so long, has been in trouble. That's why he is anxious. You should be considerate of him."
Meng Jin was just pretending to do so. After all, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If he was beaten in front of his colleagues and did not dare to resist at all, it would be a loss of his integrity.
After Princess Jiarou's persuasion, he had a way out and went down.
Meng Jin looked like he was enduring humiliation and said, "Well, Princess, you're right. As the head of the Meng Mansion, I should be magnanimous and forgiving at this moment."
