Thinking about it now, he was still a little scared. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of killing him, otherwise he would be dead now.
But it’s strange, what is the other party trying to do?
Ji Changying looked at his pale face and couldn't bear to say anything more: "Do Dad and Mom know?"
Zhonglizhou said, "At this point, I think you know everything you need to know."
It has been a quarter of an hour since the incident, and I guess everyone has heard everything they should and shouldn't know.
Ji Changying looked at Zhong Lizhou and said solemnly, "Please, my lord, take care of my brother here. I have to go out for something."
Zhong Lizhou was very clear in his mind: "Don't worry, no one will dare to touch Xiaochuan this time."
The others were a little surprised when they heard Zhongli Zhou say this.
I didn’t expect that the emperor’s eldest grandson valued this pair of brother and sister so much. Do they also want to make friends with this young prince?
Ji Changying nodded and left with Yanyun.
She turned back angrily to look for Princess Yongping. Xie Siheng also brought people to the palace to look for Shui Xin, the maidservant beside Princess Yongping.
"Boss, there's none over there in the warm pavilion!"
"Even the Imperial Garden is not there!"
"Princess Yongping doesn't have one either!"
The people from the Criminal Investigation Department searched many places, but strangely, they did not find any trace of the palace maid.
Xie Siheng's expression became increasingly serious. "This maidservant was a registered servant of Princess Yongping, but after the deed was done, she didn't go back to find Princess Yongping?"
There is something wrong with this maid.
Chuan Qiong scratched his head: "Could it be that she knew something was going to happen and hid out of worry?"
A decisive look flashed across Xie Siheng's face. "Today is very important. No mistakes can be made in any link! Mobilize a team to continue the search! Be careful."
Chuan Qiong nodded and continued searching with his men.
Ji Changying asked along the way and finally found Princess Yongping in a corner of the Imperial Garden.
At this moment, she was surrounded by several young ladies, some older and some about the same age, and was being coaxed into giggling. The sound was clear and pleasant, and she looked innocent.
If Ji Changying had not seen her true face before, she might have thought so too.
The banquet was about to begin, and almost everyone started to gather in the Imperial Garden from other corners. Kou Yunyi, Zheng Xiangyi and the others didn't dare to move around, and could only wait here for Ji Changying to come.
Seeing her come back, they quickly gathered around and asked, "How is your brother?"
"He's fine."
"However, Princess Yongping might be in trouble soon."
Ji Changying sneered and walked towards where Princess Yongping and the others were.
Seeing her coming, Princess Yongping's eyes flashed with pleasure.
Originally, she wanted to go to Concubine Cui to complain and punish Ji Changying severely, but she didn't expect that the female guard given by her father was very useful and the method she came up with was more satisfying.
"Huh? Isn't this cousin Hehua? I heard that my cousin fell into the water just now? I wonder how he is now?"
Princess Yongping's lips curled up into a smile, and she seemed to be in a very good mood when she greeted him.
When the people around her saw her expression, they almost wrote "I did it" on their faces.
Ji Changying smiled and did not respond. She flashed to the side of Princess Yongping.
Before anyone could react to what she was about to do, Ji Changying picked up Princess Yongping with one hand and said, "If you want to know what's going on, why don't you go in and try it?"
Ji Changying carried Princess Yongping and ran towards the Koi Lake.
Cui Yanwu was stunned for a moment before she realized what Ji Changying meant. She immediately shouted, "Someone! Stop her!"
No matter how annoying Princess Yongping was, if something happened in front of her, neither King Xuan nor her aunt would let her go.
Kou Yunyi and Zheng Xiangyi also took a breath: "Too impulsive!"
The two of them ran towards the Koi Lake, holding the hems of their skirts.
When the young ladies around saw this, they couldn't sit still any longer and all followed.
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of others. Emperor Mingde and Jiang Qianruo were rushing here hand in hand. Seeing the mess in the Imperial Garden, they frowned and said, "Liu Quan, go and ask what's going on!"
Eunuch Liu called a young eunuch, asked about the situation, and immediately reported everything to Emperor Mingde.
Ji Changying used her internal energy as she ran, and it didn't take much effort for her to reach Koi Lake. Princess Yongping struggled in her grasp, "How dare you do this to me? I'll have Grandmother kill you! Chop you into pieces and feed you to the wolves!"
"If you want to kill me, you'll have to see if you have the ability to do so! Get down!"
Ji Changying picked her up in his hands, threw her out and kicked her into the lake.
With a "splash" sound and the sound of water, the guards who caught up with them felt their hearts sank.
"Quick! Get in the water and save him!"
Princess Yongping couldn't swim. As soon as she entered the water, she felt the icy cold penetrating into every corner of her body. She struggled and thrashed in the water.
“Help...Gulu...Help me!”
Several guards had already jumped in and were swimming desperately towards her.
Ji Changying stood on the shore and watched coldly: "Don't you want to know what it tastes like? Now that you have tasted it, how does it feel?"
"You thought you were a princess and could ruin other people's lives at will. Now your life is in someone else's hands. How do you feel? Isn't it great?"
Princess Yongping felt only anger when she heard her words, and being drowned made her even more terrified of death.
Seeing the guard coming to rescue her, she clung to him tightly and refused to let go, trying her best to press the guard down to help him breathe, almost drowning him.
"Princess! Please let go a little, I can't breathe!"
"Slave! You... you dare not save me... I will let my grandmother... kill all your clans!"
Princess Yongping was completely deaf to all the talk until another guard arrived and forcefully grabbed her other arm, allowing the guard to breathe. The two of them pulled her towards the shore.
The two men first pushed Princess Yongping ashore, and then prepared to climb up.
Who would have thought that the first order Princess Yongping gave upon reaching the shore was to point at the two people who had rescued her and say, "Come here! Drown these two! How dare you touch my arm? They deserve to die!"
Not only were the two guards in the lake stunned, but even those on the shore were all looking at Princess Yongping in disbelief.
"What are you standing there for?! Why don't you do something?"
Princess Yongping was wrapped in a blanket handed to her by a palace maid, looking at the two people on the water and speaking angrily.
Ji Changying was speechless for a moment, then raised his foot and kicked Princess Yongping down again.
This time she controlled herself well and landed right next to the two guards.
"Since the princess doesn't need to be rescued, then just stay in the water!"
Ji Changying folded her arms and watched Princess Yongping struggling on the water.
"Let's see who dares!"
An angry shout came from behind.
Ji Changying turned her head and saw that she hadn't seen when a group of noble ladies and young ladies from various families came walking towards her, following Emperor Mingde and Jiang Qianruo.
