Chapter 1: Overboard

Northern Zhou Kingdom, the capital city of Sheng'an.

In the early winter, the capital city of Sheng'an fell several heavy snowfalls one after another, and the heavy snow scattered between the heavens and the earth, and the entire capital was covered with snow inside and outside, turning into a white expanse.

The rooftop courtyard and the trees and flowers are dressed in white and shone with holy light, and the occasional green becomes a bright color between the snowy sky and the earth.

Located more than ten miles away from the suburbs of Dusheng'an, the jasper lake decorated by the silver willow trees is as holy as a fairy, and the lake surface that is as smooth as a mirror has formed a thick ice surface, and the ice is clear and jade, which makes people happy.

Today, it coincides with the annual Ice Frolic Festival of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, whether it is the emperor's grandson or the common people, as long as they have not yet married, they can go to the Jasper Lake to participate in the Ice Frolic Festival, and show their talents and shine.

Maybe you will be able to meet the true son of your life, or meet Bole, and the soaring will be just around the corner.

On the edge of Jasper Lake, there is the only cool garden.

At this time, in the cool courtyard, there were several teenagers and girls in their teens and twenties sitting or standing, all wearing expensive and gorgeous clothes, with outstanding temperament and noble gestures.

They were all followed by a few little maids, and the little maids' dresses were even better than ordinary young ladies, and they were not comparable to ordinary people.

A few meters high platform was erected in the open space next to the lake, and it was also filled with young ladies wearing all kinds of expensive furs or cloaks, and also carrying Xiao Si and maidservants.

As for the many ordinary people who came to see the performance, they all stood around the lake and blew the cold wind, rubbing their hands together and excitedly enjoying the performance on the smooth ice like a mirror.

The Ice Frolic Festival is crowded with people and is very lively.

In the shining Jasper Lake, two immature-looking women, precisely girls, danced on the ice with skates.

The two are of different heights, and the dance they dance is obviously not the same, the older girl dances the heroic sword dance, and the younger one dances the soft and fairy-like flying dance.

The young girl, about twelve years old, wore a pink Suzhou embroidered moon brocade dress, her petite and soft figure kept spinning on the ice, and her flying figure danced like a butterfly, attracting people on the shore to applaud constantly.

Another slightly taller woman, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, was wearing a gold-cut hundred butterflies and a flower-cloud brocade skirt, and her young hands were pale from the cold, clenching two short swords, and kept waving them towards the cool court.

Stabbing, splitting, hanging, teasing...... Every movement is very in place, but it seems that the strength is not enough, the action is stiff, and the gold-cut hundred butterfly skirt is even more restrained, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a sword dance, but like a real dance.

The girl dancing the sword didn't realize that at this time, she seemed to have become a green leaf to accompany the flying fairy dancing girl, a big green leaf that set off the little girl who was fluttering like a butterfly even more beautifully.

The older girl, with a slightly shy gaze, quietly looked at the cool court, with a sense of affection, and quietly looked at one of the handsome young men in ink-colored brocade clothes.

The corners of the handsome young man's mouth rose slightly, his face had a gentle smile, and his eyes quietly watched the dance on the ice, occasionally gently bowing his head to the two people on the ice, as if he had been paying attention to their dance.

The woman dancing the sword received the young man's gaze, and immediately felt her blood boiling, and her whole body was as excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

Her weak arms stretched out vigorously, and with one move the eagle soared into the sky, instantly soaring into the air, the double swords in her hands touched the ground, and her feet fell steadily back to the lake.

"Sister, look, the second prince is looking at my name?" The delicate girl waved her long sword and happily showed off to the beautiful little girl who was dancing together.

His eyes were always fixed on the ink-colored brocade-clothed boy, full of excitement and excitement, and the hand holding the sword was trembling.

The beautiful little girl didn't pay attention to the delicate woman, and still focused on dancing in the sky, her every move was elegant, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at the cool garden.

There were noble girls sitting in the cool courtyard, and there were several handsome teenagers, her gaze passed over several teenagers, as if she inadvertently glanced at the young man in purple, and her movements became lighter.

Suddenly, the sword-dancing woman keenly heard a soft sound, and then her feet were light, and the whole person fell straight into the biting lake.

"Ah......" A scream rang out!

"Ah......h

"Oh no, something happened!"

"Ah, what about people? Why is there no one all at once? ”

"It's not good, something happened to Miss, save Miss!" A maid in a blue jacket standing on the high platform on the shore screamed and ran quickly to the ice where there was no human figure.

"Ah, help, ......", suddenly two screams sounded from the jasper lake, and the two people who were originally dancing fell down.

I saw that a big hole suddenly broke out of the mirror-like ice surface of Jasper Lake, and the two little girls were rising and falling in the big hole at this time, their hands kept fluttering, trying to catch something, but unfortunately, there were only broken ice cubes in the hole.

"Oh no, Miss Five also fell into the water, save Miss Five!" Several maidservants standing on the shore looked at the lake, glanced at each other, covered their mouths and shouted.

They put down their hands and ran towards the mirror-like ice, slipping under their feet and trying to stabilize their bodies, and ran with small steps as they lifted their skirts, followed by a group of young men and girls with knives dressed as guards, as many as fifty or sixty people.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on? It's not going to fall, is it? ”

"It's just falling, don't you see that the waves stir up so much?"

There was a burst of discussion among the crowd watching the ice frolic on the shore, and the people stood on their tiptoes and looked up at the center of the ice lake, but they couldn't see anything.

"Help! Save...... Fate! A little head with a flying fairy bun emerged from the icy lake water, and the petite hands of the younger girl slapped the water desperately, struggling and screaming in fear.

Every time the girl screamed, her mouth was poured into a large mouthful of cold lake water, and her little body was submerged again, choking her tears down her face and falling into the lake, so miserable.

A maid dressed in green saw the little girl in the ice cave, lifted her skirt and stepped up her pace to run towards the ice cave. "It's Miss Five, save Miss Five!"

The woman had been watching when she was dancing, and the handsome young man in the ink robe in the cool courtyard got up elegantly, his eyes faintly stared at the struggling figure in the lake, and waved to the few maids behind him, "Save people!" ”

He is the second prince of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, the prince of Meng Guifei, who is most favored by the emperor, and is deeply respected by the emperor.

Today's ice frolic festival with the people is exactly what the emperor asked him to be responsible for, if there is a death here, or the most favored eldest lady in the Auxiliary General's Mansion, then he will inevitably not be scolded by his father.

Another purple-robed young man leaned calmly and elegantly on the beauty couch, raising his sword eyebrows lightly, "No shadow, go, live or die!" ”

The gentle tone said cruel words, as if the lives of these two little girls had nothing to do with him, and it didn't matter as long as the bodies were still there.

This purple-clothed young man is none other than that, he went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, with a strong martial arts and shrewd mind, the heroic and unequaled finally drove the barbarians out of the border pass, only sixteen years old, when the old prince took the princess to play in the mountains and rivers, he was forced to inherit the Xian Wang's mansion for the virtuous king Qin Ruize.

"No!" Hearing only one answer, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the purple-robed young man, passing over the attendants and maids who saved people, and instantly drifted to the center of the cracked ice lake.

The black shadow was dressed in the costume of a dark guard, and the whole person was hidden in the black clothes, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes.

With a big hand, he instantly lifted the little woman fluttering in the ice cave water, and threw it to the green-clothed maid and others who ushered in the running water.

"Miss Five, Miss Five, what's wrong with you?" The green-clothed maid hugged the little woman.

The green-clothed maid stretched out her hand to probe her nose, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, but fortunately she still had breath, and immediately untied the cloak on her body and wrapped the fainting little girl.

"Where's Miss? Why is the eldest lady gone, where is the eldest lady? A maid in a blue jacket had already rushed to the edge of the ice cave, staring blankly at the wandering lake.

Several other maids came to the lake at this time, and three of them followed the green-clothed maid to turn around and quickly leave the ice with Miss Five in their arms, and left in a carriage.

The other three stood a few steps behind the blue-clothed maid, all looking anxiously at the ice cave. "Where's the eldest lady? Where did the eldest lady go? ”

The eldest lady must not have anything to do! Otherwise, the general would definitely not let them go.

The shadowless guard's cold eyes swept away, and dozens of guards who were running slowly in the distance jumped into the icy lake with expressionless faces.

There was a soft "plop" sound, and then it disappeared into the water.

The woman in blue who arrived first burst into the water with tears in her round eyes. "Miss, Miss, where are you? Miss, don't scare Tielan! ”

Before the words fell, he also plunged into the water and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Among the dozens of guards, only ten followed the green-clothed maid, hugged the unconscious Fifth Lady and quickly left the ice and ran towards the carriage by the lake.

The remaining dozens of guards, with unknown expressions, waited a few feet away from the ice cave with three maidservants, and waited quietly, and none of them took the initiative to go into the water to find someone.

"It hurts, it really hurts," Ling Yiyi closed her eyes tightly, and her whole person fell into endless darkness.

She felt like her chest was being squeezed by countless boulders, and her body was like being crushed by a car, so that she couldn't breathe, her feet didn't obey the call, and her body was controlled by some force.

What the hell is going on, is it an earthquake or a hai?

No, Ling Yiyi suddenly remembered, didn't she eat at the food stall with Jingmei and Maple Leaf? Are they playing tricks on themselves? But no, they're not so boring!

Ling Yiyi felt that her whole body was icy to death, her brain couldn't think as if it was about to shut down, and her chest was even more suffocated like it was about to explode, as if she was about to die.

Damn, what the hell is going on??

Why did she feel that her heart was about to suffocate, her breathing was extremely unsmooth, the whole person was beaten very uncomfortable, and her eyes did not obey the call, and she couldn't open her eyes when she wanted to.

In short, it's like the whole body doesn't look like it's your own, as if it's bound by something, and you can't move at all.
