Ling Xiang was woken up by the water, and before she could even think straight, she was grabbed by Nangong Yu and thrown to the ground.
After years of training, Ling Xiang instinctively rolled over and avoided being thrown to the ground.
"You know Kung Fu, and you're quite good at it!" Nangong Yu said indifferently, "You kept it a secret and fooled everyone. No wonder Ling Chengfu lost to you. He deserved it."
Ling Xiang shook his head, his eyes full of confusion from being forced to turn on the phone: "I say, are you okay? Even if you are a prince, you can't be so excessive!"
Nangong Yu glared at her, picked her up again, and walked out with big strides.
"Put me down! Help!" Ling Xiang struggled desperately, thinking quickly of a way to escape.
Nangong Yu thought she was too noisy and pressed her mute point directly.
Not long after, Nangong Yu carried Ling Xiang to the Lotus Lake and threw her in without blinking, just like he was thrown in at the beginning.
thump!
Ling Xiang fell into the water and struggled hard.
Gradually, her struggles weakened and her body sank into the water...
Nangong Yu frowned.
He didn't expect that Ling Xiang couldn't swim.
After waiting for a while, he saw Ling Xiang really sinking. He flew over, picked her up from the lake, and checked her breath.
Breathing is very weak.
There was no other way, he could only use his spiritual power to force out the water she had choked on.
Ling Xiang spat out a mouthful of water and slowly woke up.
Nangong Yu wiped off the water on his body and unblocked her mute point as if giving alms.
Ling Xiang sat up with difficulty and said angrily, "Your Highness! I said I won't marry you! It won't affect you and Gao Zhenzhen! Why are you so aggressive?"
Nangong Yu looked down at him and asked, "How does it feel to be thrown into the lake?"
Ling Xiang's heart skipped a beat, suspecting that Nangong Yu knew the truth and came to take revenge.
But she would never admit it, she folded her arms and shivered with cold:
"Why don't you try it yourself and know what it feels like to be thrown into the lake!"
No matter how much Ling Xiang pretended, Nangong Yu would not believe her: "Do you need me to help you recall how you left my room on the day of the flower viewing banquet?"
Ling Xiang was puzzled. "What are you talking about? I was in your room during the flower viewing party? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Anyone who dares to lie to this king will never see the sun again. Miss Ling, do you want to try?"
Ling Xiang thought about it carefully for a long time, but couldn't figure it out:
"Your Highness, I've made it very clear. On the day of the flower viewing banquet, I was taken away from the flower hall by a maid and fell into a coma. When I woke up, I was in Gao Zhenzhen's courtyard. I really don't know about these messed-up things you mentioned!"
Nangong Yu questioned, "Then how do you explain that when you appeared in Zhenzhen's yard after being drugged, there was no sign of the drug on your body?"
Ling Xiang said, "Then you'll have to ask the person who kidnapped me."
Nangong Yu looked at Ling Xiang and asked, "So, how did we get rid of the medicine we were given today?"
Ling Xiang had already thought of a pretext and took out a small medicine bottle from her waist pouch:
"Ever since I was poisoned by Wu Yan, I've been carrying some medicine with me, just in case. I'm lucky today; the medicine I brought with me happens to contain something that can cure the poison we were poisoned with. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River today."
Nangong Yu didn't believe that it would be such a coincidence: "Ling Xiang, do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"His Royal Highness King Qin!"
At this time, Yuan Zhengqing came over with his men.
The people sent by Yuan Zhengqing to protect Ling Xiang stayed with her all the time, but they did not dare to enter the Prince Qin's Mansion and could only wait outside.
It's already evening, and even if Ling Xiang wants to stay in Prince Qin's mansion for dinner, she should come out after eating.
They waited for a long time for Ling Xiang to come out, and worried that something might happen, so they notified Yuan Zhengqing.
Yuan Zhengqing received the news and rushed over immediately.
"Master Yuan?" Nangong Yu stood up and frowned at Yuan Zhengqing. "Why are you here at the palace so late at night?"
Yuan Zhengqing looked at Ling Xiang. The girl was soaked and looked disheveled. She hugged her arms and shivered from the cold.
His heart ached.
"Miss Ling, what's wrong?" he asked politely.
Nangong Yu didn't say anything and looked at Ling Xiang coldly.
Ling Xiang looked at Nangong Yu quietly, bit her lip, and suppressed the grievance in her heart, "I accidentally fell into the water, is there something Master Yuan wants to talk to me about?"
Yuan Zhengqing said, "There's been new progress in the case of Miss Ling being poisoned. I'm here to ask you to go to Shuntian Prefecture to cooperate with the investigation."
Ling Xiang subconsciously looked at Nangong Yu, and seeing Nangong Yu frown, she said before he could refuse: "Okay, Master Yuan, let's go now!"
Thinking of Xiaoyu, he asked Nangong Yu again: "By the way, Your Majesty, where is my maid?"
It was useless for Nangong Yu to hold a maid captive. "Your maid is in the Red Maple Courtyard. Miss Ling is in this state now. You should go change your clothes before leaving."
Ling Xiang returned to Hongfeng Courtyard and saw Xiaoyu as expected.
Xiaoyu was extremely anxious and pulled Ling Xiang aside and asked, "Miss, King Qin..."
"Shh!" Ling Xiang immediately covered her mouth. "Don't let a single word of what happened today leak out, otherwise, we'll be finished!"
Ling Xiang changed her clothes in a hurry, not even bothering to tidy up her wet hair. She hurried to the door, took Xiaoyu with her, and got into Yuan Zhengqing's carriage neatly.
"Thank you, Lord Yuan." Ling Xiang really didn't expect that at the critical moment, it was Yuan Zhengqing who came to save her.
Even if Ling Xiang didn't say it, Yuan Zhengqing guessed that she must have been embarrassed in the Qin Palace today. He sighed and said, "Miss Ling, you shouldn't have gone to the Qin Palace today."
Ling Xiang was helpless: "I didn't plan to go, but the eldest princess is ill, and I should go to visit her. A-choo——"
Yuan Zhengqing looked at Ling Xiang's wet hair, then looked at Xiaoyu, then lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Miss, let me help you dry your hair first." Xiaoyu reacted immediately and took out a towel from her bag, untied Ling Xiang's hair, and dried her hair carefully.
Across the curtain, Yuan Zhengqing suggested, "Miss Ling, how about you take shelter in my house for the next two days?"
Yuan Zhengqing was alone, and his mansion didn't even have a mistress. How could Ling Xiang bother him? "Thank you for your kindness, Master Yuan, but what's coming can't be avoided. Running away is not the solution to the problem."
"This is not your fault." Yuan Zhengqing said seriously.
Ling Xiang was helpless: "Not everyone is as fair and honest as Lord Yuan."
Yuan Zhengqing sent Ling Xiang back to the Zhenguohou Mansion. Before leaving, he took out a piece of jade and handed it to her: "Next time you are in danger, crush this piece of jade and I will rush over as soon as possible."
Ling Xiang didn't know what this was, but knew it must be very valuable. "Why are you troubling Master Yuan so much?"
"As long as your case is not resolved, I have an obligation to protect your safety."
"No reward without merit." Ling Xiang thought for a moment and took out a jade bottle. "How about this, I'll trade this pill with you."
