Chapter 246 Threat
An Jiu was startled.
In this weather, the ice on the lake has just melted, but it is still quite cold. If you keep soaking in it like this, you will either drown or get sick from the cold.
An Jiu went to see the emperor. The emperor behaved very indifferently, as if it was none of his business whether the people in the water were dead or alive. He even stepped back when others were desperate to save people.
An Jiu paused.
Seeing that she was dazed, the emperor reached out and pulled her behind him. Then he and a group of people from Guanghua Palace stretched their necks to look at the girl struggling in the water.
An Jiu was a little anxious at first. Seeing someone fall into the water, a normal person's reaction would be to rush to rescue them, but now...
An Jiu glanced at the emperor. She had just stood on the emperor's right side, but now he had pulled her to the left. She could only look at his handsome left face, which had smooth lines as if it was carved by a knife...
She knew that the emperor was not a cold-blooded person, and there must be a reason for his behavior.
Did this girl fall into the water on purpose in order to attract the emperor's attention?
But in this weather, if you get sick, it’s no joke.
Moreover, no matter who fell into the water, the emperor would definitely not go into the water to save them himself.
The girl struggled for a long time, but it was probably all in vain.
The maid who had just shouted was facing them, but as more and more people came, the maid became anxious as she saw that the girl in the water's breath was getting weaker.
"Save my lady... Please save my lady..." Her voice choked with sobs.
Concubine Shu came over and exclaimed, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and save them."
Several eunuchs were preparing to go into the water, but at this moment, a strong old maid went into the water and rescued the man.
An Jiu knew that person, she was the nanny beside Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial physician, and soon the soaking wet and dying girl was taken away.
Concubine Shu let out a breath and saw the emperor and others watching the fun not far away.
She thought she was seeing things and wanted to rub her eyes, but was afraid that her eye makeup would be smudged.
"His Majesty?"
This is a question sentence.
I can't believe that the emperor was so tasteless as to watch others drown.
The emperor nodded.
"Um."
Concubine Shu: "..."
What does hmm mean?
She narrowed her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the person who fell into the water was Yao Luofen, the legitimate daughter of Duke Ying."
The emperor hummed again.
Concubine Shu: "..."
See, her mother said that men can’t just be judged by appearance…
What are you humming about?
Are you an alpaca?
"There's something fishy about this matter..." Concubine Shu glanced at the guardrail that was almost up to her chest.
In the past, when an unknown emperor was in power, concubines in the harem would often fall into the water. Once they did, there would be endless lawsuits. Occasionally, when people were enjoying the flowers, a corpse would float on the lake. The emperor found it annoying, so he had the guardrails raised and added iron chains to stop them. Unless one climbed up by oneself, one would not fall into the water. Even if someone tried to push them, it would take some effort.
And Miss Yao had a maid with her, so it was impossible for her to be pushed down.
so……
Shufei suddenly understood.
Miss Yao jumped down by herself.
for what……
Concubine Shu glanced at the emperor.
It’s all because of this face.
Really bold.
When she figured it out, she smiled.
"Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?"
The emperor said: "Deal with it as you should."
Concubine Shu nodded: "I understand."
After she said this, she glanced at Xiaojiu behind the emperor.
Tsk.
She was well protected. Could the splashing water from Miss Yao splash onto her?
It's so obvious whether it's love or not.
Concubine Shu let out a breath and cheered herself up. She still had to arrange the people for the Spring Banquet and could not lose her manners.
It’s best to give this job to Concubine De, it’s tiring.
An Jiu also saw the guardrail and guessed the result.
She was a little speechless.
It's really hard for that lady to come up with such an idea.
Not to mention that the emperor can't swim. Even if he can, he won't go down to save people. At most, he will let the guards go down. At that time, will she still have her innocence?
and…
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's nanny knows how to swim."
An Jiu has been in the palace for so long, but no one around him knows how to swim.
The capital city is not close to the sea, and most people there cannot swim.
But Madam Shu Taifei will...
"Chu is a country with many mountains and rivers. Could this nanny be from Chu?"
The emperor looked at An Jiu with amusement.
An Jiu understood what he meant from his eyes.
She is also suspected to be a spy of the Chu State...
After Miss Yao was taken back home, she had a fever for several days before she recovered.
The incident of falling into the water in the palace caused a lot of uproar. I don't know if it was intentional spread by the Duke's Mansion, but soon everyone knew that Miss Yao fell in love with the emperor at first sight during the autumn hunt. But her father had mentioned it several times, but the emperor just wouldn't give in.
She had no other choice but to resort to this last resort.
Many people thought she had a mental problem, while others thought she was infatuated. After this incident became known, Miss Yao even threatened to marry no one except the emperor.
The Duke of England had no choice but to enter the palace again...
Just as An Jiu was about to go in, Xiao Fuzi stopped her.
"The Duke of England is here."
An Jiu frowned: "Come and talk about Miss Yao?"
Xiao Fuzi didn't know what was said in it, but he could probably guess it.
He looked at An Jiu, quite worried: "That's the daughter of Duke Ying. Wait until she enters the palace, and see what you will do?"
An Jiu was completely confused: "What does it have to do with me whether she enters the palace or not?"
Xiao Fuzi shook his head. He was worried that Xiaojiu would suffer.
This Miss Yao even dared to jump into the water in order to enter the palace. What else can't she do?
They all come from wealthy and powerful families, but Xiaojiu is just a little palace maid.
Why……
Xiao Fuzi sighed, this Xiaojiu is so careless.
An Jiu arrived at the backyard and found that Aunt Qu and the others were also talking about Miss Yao.
But when she came, everyone fell silent.
An Jiu returned to his room in a depressed mood.
Then she froze.
There is a small bell on the table in the room.
This is not her thing.
She picked up the bell and looked at it carefully, only to see a small word "Thai" engraved on one side of the bell.
An Jiu suddenly remembered.
This bell belonged to the original owner's brother An Tai. It was previously hung around a dog's neck. Later, when the dog died, An Tai hung it around his own neck.
But how did it appear on her desk?
An Jiu remembered that there was a period of time when she felt like someone wanted to come into the house.
At that time, she even marked the things in the house.
She always thought it was Nanny Chang or Xiaohua.
But both of them are dead.
In other words…
There is also a spy from the State of Chu hiding in Guanghua Palace.
What was the purpose of this person giving her the bell?
An Jiu held the bell and thought that she should tell the emperor about this matter. She was just a little Karami, and no matter what the Chu spies did, she could not handle it.
So An Jiu went out, and not long after he walked out, he met a little palace maid.
"Sister Xiaojiu, where are you going?"
An Jiu remembered that the palace maid was called Xiao Jin.
During the Chinese New Year, Nanny Chang came to gamble with her.
Nanny Chang rarely comes here, and she doesn't get along with Aunt Qu, so why would she come here to play during the New Year...
Now think about it.
Nanny Chang is not here to play.
She came to deliver a message.
She passed the message to Xiao Jin, who passed it to Zhang Wenyuan...
That makes sense.
"What does it have to do with you where I go?" Knowing that Xiao Jin was a spy, An Jiu also became alert.
It's broad daylight now, and if Xiao Jin makes any unusual move, it will be easy for her to escape.
Xiao Jin looked at An Jiu with a smile: "If you go to Guanghua Palace to complain to the mad emperor, our people will kill your brother."
