C18 He Fell into the Water

Yun Zhiyu stopped in her tracks and raised her eyes. She saw the thin, red lips rise slightly, as if it would always be the same smile.

Lazy and evil, it had the cunning of a fox.

She narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze over the slippery cobblestones. Would the fox in front of her be so kind as to tell her?

She took a few steps back and put some distance between the two. Her voice suddenly turned cold, "Thank you, but I won't let Your Highness worry about me."

Her cold words threw away the relationship between the two.

Glancing at the sneaky figure not far away, Jun Wuyao revealed a faint smile. With a flash of his figure, he silently threw out a rock.

"Aiyo."

Lianye's legs hurt, and she fell to the ground.

Another stone flew over, causing Yun Zhiyu to feel pain. Her legs went soft and she was about to fall to the ground.

Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and a pair of arms hugged her.

The faint fragrance of his body lingered in her nose.

Unlike Chi Hongze's terrifying ambergris, this fragrance was elegant and clear. It was like the soft and continuous lotus fragrance in the summer, seeping into her heart from all directions.

The warm aura allowed one to instantly let down all their guard.

Yun Zhiyu was startled. Her heart suddenly beat faster as she was hugged by this strange man.

She reacted and hurriedly pushed him away, "Thank you, King Rui. I was rude."

"No need to thank me. I still want to borrow you to put on a good show."

His cynical voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Yun Zhiyu was stunned, and her body suddenly felt light as she was held in Jun Wuyao's arms.

Plop ~ ~ ~

The two of them fell into the pond together, and the cold water rushed into their noses.

"Cough, cough!"

Yun Zhiyu choked on a few mouthfuls of water and struggled to stick her head out of the water. She did not know how to swim, so she could only grab at random.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing the two of them enter the water, Lianye covered her ankles and hurriedly ran over.

However, because King Rui was also in the water, he did not dare to shout loudly.

When the few figures hiding at the side saw the two of them enter the water, they immediately sneered and left.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

"Your Majesty, you have to believe in the Empress. The Empress is virtuous and virtuous. Why would she be entangled with King Rui in the Imperial Garden?"

"The people of the lower palace are blabbering. It's my fault for not being strict. I will definitely discipline them well."

A slender figure walked at the front, her phoenix eyes as cold as ice.

Noble Consort Hui followed closely behind, anxiously explaining, only to see Chi Hongze's face become even colder.

The eunuchs and maids followed behind with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.

They were afraid that they would see something they shouldn't see later.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the emperor and Noble Consort Hui had rushed over together, Lianye knelt down in panic.

"Lianye, where's the Empress?"

Noble Consort Hui glanced at the pond and asked impatiently.

"The Empress is still in the pond. Please save the Empress as soon as possible. If you wait any longer, the Empress will really die!"

Lianye cried as she came over, her eyes red from crying.

"Still in the pond? Could it be that His Highness King Rui doesn't know how to swim either?!"

Without waiting for Chi Hongze's words, Noble Consort Hui had already covered her mouth in surprise. She deliberately took a few steps towards the pond and called the eunuch behind her to go down and save him.

"Hurry up and go down into the water to save him!"

"Please don't hurt King Rui and the Empress!"

Noble Consort Hui shouted, and with a single sentence, she determined that Yun Zhiyu was in the water with Jun Wuyao.

Chi Hongze stood with his hands behind his back, and a cold aura suddenly appeared around his body.

His phoenix eyes stared fixedly at the pond. If Yun Zhiyu was in the water with Jun Wuyao, where would his dignity as the king of a country go?

"Oh? Why didn't I know that I was in the water too?"

A refined and playful voice came from the other side of the road. Noble Consort Hui and Chi Hongze looked over at the same time.

The eunuchs who were fishing for people in the water paused for a moment. When they received Noble Consort Hui's gaze, they all stopped their actions and retreated to the side.

On the other side of the road, a white figure slowly walked over.

He was waving a folding fan and half covering his face, only revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes.

With a smile that was not a smile, he looked elegant and elegant.

"King Rui, why are you here? You clearly aren't Luo..."

Noble Consort Hui stopped halfway through her sentence.

Jun Wuyao put away his folding fan and laughed: "The first path is blocked, and this king is going to the banquet, so naturally, I have to take this path. The meaning behind your words is that this king should not be here, but in the water?"

"Of course not, King Rui should be here."

Noble Consort Hui's expression was awkward and her reply was stiff.

"I mean King Rui..."

She still wanted to say something, but when she received a cold look from Chi Hongze, Noble Consort Hui immediately went silent.

"Oh, the fish in this pond are really big. Even the bubbles they spit out are so big."

Jun Wuyao waved his folding fan and pointed at the pond as if he had no intention of doing so.

"Her Majesty is still in the water. Please save her!"

Lianye rushed out, crying as she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The Empress would rather die than let a eunuch touch her body. The Empress would rather die than let a eunuch touch her body."

Hearing that, Chi Hongze's expression changed, and his cold expression seemed to soften a little. Seeing the woman in the water close her eyes, his phoenix eyes tightened.

She was still in the water!

No, Yun Zhiyu could not die now!

Once she died, King Chinan would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"Someone come..." Thinking about it, he personally went into the water, hugged that soft waist, and pulled her out of the water.

"Emperor! How can you go into the water yourself? What if you catch a cold?"

Noble Consort Hui cried out in alarm as she watched the emperor carry Yun Zhiyu and walk towards Phoenix Palace.

The worried expression on her face immediately disappeared without a trace as she gripped the handkerchief hatefully.

"You seem to care about my safety. You even knew I would fall into the water."

Seeing Chi Hongze leave, Jun Wuyao walked over with a smile as he waved his folding fan. He raised his eyes slightly and restrained the coldness in his eyes.

"This... King Rui is overthinking."

Noble Consort Hui retracted her thoughts and replied with a fake smile.

She turned around and glared at the palace maids and eunuchs, then headed towards Phoenix Palace with concern.

As he approached Phoenix Palace, he heard a few violent coughs coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, I have invited an imperial doctor over. Please take a look at the Empress as soon as possible. Don't fall ill."

Noble Consort Hui's face was filled with worry. Seeing that Chi Hongze had tacitly agreed, she waved her hand and called the imperial doctor in.

Yun Zhiyu had already woken up. Her wet hair hung down her shoulders and her small face was exceptionally pale.

"Cough, cough." She coughed twice and said, "Thank you for your concern, Imperial Consort. My body is fine."

When she found herself leaning into a warm embrace, she was shocked. She subconsciously tightened her body and stiffly walked forward.
