Chapter 246 Threat



An Jiu was startled.

In this weather, the ice on the lake has melted, but it is still quite cold. If you continue to soak in it, you will either drown or get sick from the cold.

An Jiu went to see the emperor. The emperor behaved very indifferently, as if the life or death of the people in the water was none of his business. He even stepped back when others were desperate to save people.

An Jiu paused.

Seeing her stupidly, the emperor stretched out his hand 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 been standing on the emperor's right side, but now that he had pulled her to his left side, she could only be forced to look at his handsome left face, which had smooth lines as if it had been carved with a knife...

She knew that the emperor was not a cold-blooded person, and there must be a reason for his behavior.

Could it be that this girl fell 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 been shouting had been facing them, but as more and more people came, the maid became anxious as she saw that the girl in the water was almost breathing.

"Save my sister Xiao...please save my sister Xiao..." Her voice was choked with sobs.

Concubine Shu came over and exclaimed, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and save them."

Several eunuchs were about to go into the water, when at that 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 excitement not far away.

She thought she had seen it wrong and wanted to rub her eyes, but was afraid of ruining her eye makeup.

"His Majesty?"

This is a question.

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 squinted.

"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 should not be judged by appearance alone...

What are you humming about?

Are you an alpaca?

"There's something fishy about this..." Concubine Shu looked 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, and 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 iron chains added 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 that Miss Yao had a maid by her side, so it was impossible for her to be pushed down.

so……

Shu Fei suddenly understood.

Sister Yao jumped down by herself.

Why...

Concubine Shu glanced at the emperor.

It's not just for 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 know."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiu who was behind the emperor.

Tsk.

It's so good to be protected. Could the splashing water from Sister Yao Xiao 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 for 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 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 her innocence still be preserved?

and…

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's nanny knows how to swim."

An Jiu has been in the palace for so long, and 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 Anjiu with amusement.

An Jiu understood what he meant from his eyes.

She is suspected to be a spy of the Chu State...

After Miss Yao was taken back home, she had a fever for a few days but it got better.

The news of her falling into the water in the palace became a hot topic. I don't know if it was spread intentionally by the Duke's Mansion, but soon everyone knew that Sister Yao fell in love with the emperor at first sight during the autumn hunt. However, no matter how helpless she was, the emperor would not agree even after her father mentioned it several times.

There was no other way, so she had to resort to this last resort.

Some people thought she had a problem with her brain, while others thought she was infatuated. After the news spread, Sister Yao even made a fuss that she would marry anyone 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, Fuzi stopped her.

"The Duke of England is here."

An Jiu frowned: "Let's talk about Sister Yao Xiao?"

Fuzi didn't know what was said inside, 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?"

께 Fuzi shook his head. He was not worried that 께 Jiu would suffer.

This Miss Yao dared to jump into the water in order to enter the palace. What else can't she do?

They all came from wealthy and powerful families, but 付九 was just a palace maid.

Why……

Xiao Fuzi sighed. Xiao Jiu is so careless.

An Jiu went to the backyard and found that Aunt Qu and the others were talking about this Miss Yao.

But when she came, no one spoke.

An Jiu returned to her room in a depressed mood.

Then she froze.

There is a 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 Thai word "께께" engraved on one side of the bell.

An Jiu suddenly remembered.

This bell belonged to the original owner's brother, An Tai. He used to hang it 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 died.

That is to say...

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. As a Kalami, she could not handle anything the Chu spies did.

So An Jiu went out, but not long after he walked out, he met a palace maid.

"Sister Jiu, where are you going?"

An Jiu remembered that the palace maid was called 께金.

During the Chinese New Year, Nanny Chang came to gamble with her.

Nanny Chang came here a long time ago, and she doesn't get along with Aunt Qu, so why did 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 Jin, who passed it to Zhang Wenyuan...

That makes sense.

"What does it have to do with you where I go?" Knowing that Jin was a spy, An Jiu became alert.

It was broad daylight now, and if there was any unusual movement of the money, she would be able to escape easily.

And Xiao Jin looked at An Jiu with a smile: "If you go to Guanghua Palace to complain to the mad emperor, then our people will kill your brother."
