12. Chapter 12
When people are in the water, there is only one instinct left: to break through the water and breathe heavily.
With nowhere to borrow, she could only flutter in the water, frightened and scared, and was suddenly taken out of the water, Tang Yu instinctively climbed the person who saved her, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Song Qin's cold side face, like a heavy mountain under the pale sky in winter, without any emotion, and the water droplets rolled down from his eyebrows, like rain falling on the mountain.
Tang Yu's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and then it beat again, and she suddenly felt that she would rather drown than be held like this by Song Qin.
Sweeping the shore, a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and then looked at Song Jin's side, two grandmothers went to rescue, and Song Qin obviously went to save the third princess. Tang Yu calmed down and begged Song Qin in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it is important to save the third princess, please let go of me first, and my own grandmother will save me." ”
When she spoke, because Song Qin was up and down in the water, she choked on the water several times, and her voice was intermittent.
Song Qin didn't look at her, suddenly let go of his hand and quickly swam towards the third princess.
Tang Yu is now in the depths of the water, as soon as Song Qin let go, she immediately sank, but Tang Yu had a feeling of escaping from danger, seeing that one grandmother had already rescued Song Jin, she called another one to save her. The grandmother heard the sound and looked over, and saw that Tang Yu was left alone again, and a surprise flashed in her eyes, but she knew that Tang Yu was the queen mother's favorite niece and daughter-in-law, so she didn't hesitate immediately.
Tang Yu tried to persevere.
However, just when Mama was only a few feet away from her, the sound of the third princess coughing suddenly came from behind her, Tang Yu was too busy to take care of herself, knowing that the third princess was not in danger, so she didn't look back, her eyes were closed and fluttering, and then there was an extra arm on her waist, she opened her eyes in surprise, but saw Mama frozen over there.
"Let's go, this king will help you with a ride nearby. The niece was rescued, Song Qin was less burdened, hugging the little girl's slender and soft waist, his voice showed a faint pleasure, but it was covered by the sound of water.
"Men and women don't kiss, please let the prince go. Tang Yu leaned sideways and refused coldly. Song Qin saved her for the first time, she could think that Song Qin was simply helping people, but she obviously refused, obviously there was a grandmother coming over immediately, Song Qin still hugged her in front of so many people, thinking of the lightness in the bamboo forest of Shangshu Mansion, Tang Yu is now very sure that Song Qin is going to take advantage of her, and he doesn't care about her reputation at all.
"What if I don't let you go?" Song Qin deliberately slowed down and asked in a low voice. She sent it to the door herself, and he didn't hug it.
These words undoubtedly confirmed Tang Yu's guess, her face turned pale, and the hand in the water grabbed the man's hand on her waist, and slammed it hard, forcing him to let go.
Her little hands were cool and slippery, and when she just touched him, Song Qin's heart fluttered, but before she could appreciate the strange taste, the back of her hand suddenly hurt. Sensing her intentions, Song Qin sneered, he had been stabbed several times on the battlefield, and once a sharp arrow passed through his shoulder, he survived the kind of life that was worse than death, and he was afraid that she would scratch like a cat?
I didn't want to pay attention to it, facing the embankment that was getting closer and closer in front, Song Qin's eyes flashed slightly, and with a clever hand, Tang Yu suddenly planted it diagonally behind, and the whole person was sinking. In Tang Yu's opinion, this was Song Qin who took the initiative to push her away in annoyance, she was uncomfortable but happy, and struggled to the surface of the water, and in the eyes of everyone on the shore, Tang Yu fell out of his arms because of the regent's lack of strength......
"Girl!" Mo Lan shouted anxiously, she didn't know how to water, and she didn't know the grievances between her girl and the regent, she only hoped that the regent would go to get the girl again.
Song Qin lived up to her expectations, glanced back, and sharply instructed the two maids beside the third princess, "Take the princess ashore." ”
After speaking, he pushed the third princess to the shore hard, he turned around like a fish, and his slender body surged forward a lot, directly pulling Tang Yu, who was floating up, down again. Tang Yu was hugged by the man without thinking about anything, she struggled angrily, Linglong's body was under his control, Song Qin originally just wanted to tease her, but she rubbed him like this, his body was immersed in the cool lake water, and his chest suddenly caught fire.
The ghost made the god worse, and when Song Qin grabbed her waist and was about to surface, his big hand deliberately deviated upward.
Tang Yu's body stiffened.
And Song Qin thought of the simplest steamed bun rice he had ever eaten in the barracks a moment before he broke through the water. At that time, the military salary was insufficient, and the soldiers could not afford to eat meat, even fine noodles. When the guard brought in a plate of rough steamed buns for the first time, he stared at the steamed buns for a long time, and slowly pinched one......
A small hand suddenly fanned in front of her, and Song Qin immediately pressed her to sink and adjust the direction at the same time. With his back to the embankment, he saw the little girl's angry eyes, her pretty face pale like the purest snow lotus, angry but more beautiful than usual, thrillingly beautiful, so beautiful that he once again aroused his interest in her. Song Qin smiled at her, pinched it one last time, he moved his right hand down, grabbed the little hand she had just raised with his left hand, and gently put it on his face.
Such a posture is not so much about taking the initiative to beg for a beating, but about bullying her in another way.
As soon as he touched it, Tang Yu withdrew his hand and opened his mouth angrily.
Song Qin took her out of the water in time.
Tang Yu couldn't stop coughing, Song Qin hugged her tightly before turning around, leaned over and whispered in the little girl's ear: "This king is rude in front, you have beaten and beaten, now Liangqing? Or do you want to continue to make trouble, make trouble so that it can't end, and finally let this king be responsible for you?"
Hearing this, Tang Yu stopped struggling, she understood what Song Qin meant, she had to cooperate with him, otherwise he would not let her go ashore.
Tang Yu closed his eyes, his heart was like ashes. has already been hugged by him, even if Song Qin lets go now, the people on the shore will not be criticized? Although "falling into the water to save people" is a last resort, when gossiping, who cares if you are forced to do so? Those people will only pass on what they are most curious about, and they will only say that the eldest girl of the Marquis of Jingning Mansion was touched by the regent......
She didn't move, and let the man "rescue" her back to shore.
The little girl in her arms suddenly became well-behaved, Song Qin looked sideways, and met her lifeless face, as if she had accepted her fate.
Guessing what she was most afraid of, Song Qin quickly went ashore and motioned to the palace maid and Mo Lan to block Tang Yu and the third princess.
"Uncle Huang......" The third princess was so frightened that she cried and called him.
Song Qin touched his niece's head and glanced at Tang Yu who held the third princess into his arms to cover his body, Song Qin straightened his waist and caught a glimpse that two eunuchs had run away from the old man, obviously to return to the queen mother, and Song Qinchao's personal guard who had been guarding in the distance gave a look.
Chu Feng comprehended, his body shook, and he chased after the two eunuchs like an arrow from the string.
When the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs saw this, they knelt down one after another, kowtowing and waiting for the regent to fall, trembling.
Soon, Chu Feng drove the two eunuchs back like impermanence.
"The prince spares his life, the slave just wants to return to the queen mother......"
"Shut up, did you let you speak?" Chu Feng kicked the man who spoke, and the little eunuch's soul was scattered, and he kowtowed again and again, he didn't dare to say it, and he held back in his previous life.
Song Qin was soaked, but he stood tall in front of everyone, and the majesty of the regent was not diminished in the slightest. Glancing coldly, including Song Jin and the two grandmothers beside him and the circle of people around Tang Yu, Song Qin said indifferently: "Today's matter, except for the Queen Mother, if half a word is passed out, this king wants the lives of all of you." ”
A group of kneeling palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to shout.
Song Jin's hair trembled, and a thought that did not match his age flashed in his black and white phoenix eyes. The royal sister fell into the water, and the imperial uncle could use this excuse to incite the people to slander the queen mother again, why did he order them not to spread it?
There was a faint cry of the imperial sister in front of him, Song Jin raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw Tang Yu holding the third princess tightly, he was thoughtful.
Tang Yu lowered her head and patted the third princess, and when she heard Song Qin's order, she only felt sarcastic. Song Qin's move is for her, or for his reputation as not close to women, no matter how Song Qin whitewashes the peace, it can't change the fact that he is a disciple.
"Leave without the permission of this king, Chu Feng, after this king leaves, you send someone to kill these two people with a cane, and the others will watch the punishment to set an example. Song Qin walked up to Tang Yu, bent down to lift the sobbing third princess, and lightly instructed Chu Feng, and when he spoke, his face was facing Tang Yu.
Tang Yu turned sideways, his eyes lowered, listening to the man's cruel words close to his ear, and suddenly realized that Song Qin was not an ordinary disciple, he was the regent, and he could take people's lives lightly. Realizing this, Tang Yu was both happy and afraid.
She was glad that Song Qin was not provoked by her and killed her, she was so angry that she might be so impulsive that she would rather die than be bullied by him, calm down, Tang Yu knew very well that she cared more about this life. But she was also deeply afraid, if Song Qin was entangled, would she be able to get rid of him?
"You escort the emperor and Miss Tang back to Ci'an Palace. Song Qin hugged the third princess and said to Mo Lan and the two maids of the palace.
The three girls bowed their heads to receive the order, and Song Jin walked over and looked at Song Qin pleadingly: "Uncle Huang, Mama Tian and Mama Li have a meritorious role in saving the driver, let them go back with me?"
"The rescue is meritorious and the escort is not effective, and the merits and demerits are offset by each other, and today I saw the fate of not serving the master carefully, and I will do my best to serve my life in the future. Song Qin glanced at Song Jin, and when he saw the boy biting his lip and lowering his head, he left with his niece in his arms.
"Uncle Huang, I haven't accompanied Sister Yu for her birthday yet......" The third princess looked back at Sister Yu reluctantly.
"I will make up for it next year, and I must go back to my home for treatment first. Song Qin was in a good mood and was willing to coax his niece.
The third princess lay on the shoulders of the imperial uncle, looked at Sister Yu and her party who were also walking towards the Ci'an Palace, and then looked at the eunuch and palace maid kneeling by the lake, and asked curiously: "Uncle Huang, what is the rod to death? Do you want to punish them? But I and the imperial brother accidentally fell into the water by ourselves......
"You are a princess, they are ordered to protect you, and if anything happens to you, they should be punished. Song Qin pinched his niece's little hand and coaxed in a low voice, "The cane is to beat each of them with three boards, and it will be fine if it hurts for a few days, Nuan Nuan don't have to worry." ”
The third princess understood, but she still had some sympathy for the two people who were going to be beaten.
But what she didn't know was that her most trusted imperial uncle lied, and the cane was not simply a three-board shot.
The uncle and nephew returned to the Zhenghe Palace, and Tang Yu and others also returned to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.
Because no one reported the news, the Queen Mother and Tang heard that the two children came back wet, and they were all startled and hurried out.
"Queen Mother, we all accidentally fell into the water!" Song Jin ran a few steps and threw himself into the arms of the Queen Mother, nervously grabbing the Queen Mother's dress.
Last night, the queen mother told him that he must cause the queen sister to fall into the water without a trace, and he swore that the queen sister fell into the water, but the queen mother's plan did not succeed, and Song Jin was afraid that the queen mother would blame him. He used to like the royal sister, but if the royal sister offends the queen mother, she will threaten the great cause of him and the queen mother, then she deserves to die.
The Queen Mother touched her son's head and asked the third princess first, "Why don't you see your imperial sister?"
Song Jin's voice lowered, "Uncle Huang carried her out of the palace." ”
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth secretly, but understood that now was not the time to regret asking for details, so she ordered someone to serve her son and Tang Yu to bathe and change clothes.
