Chapter 55: Salvation
Hurt...... It hurts......
The head is like a thousand pounds, the mind is unstable and helpless, the hands and feet are scratched but can not catch the light on the shore, the body is cold and heavy, and can only let himself sink to the bottom of the lake.
Ning Liuying was desperate in her heart, no longer struggling, and a large amount of lake water was inhaled into her chest, and the pain was unpleasant. Before losing consciousness, she could only hold on tightly to the silver bracelet in her hand.
"If I die like this, what will the prince think......"
Ning Liuying thought in a daze, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
In her previous life, when she was Ke Wan, she died inexplicably, and in this life, she was reborn into Ning Liuying's body, and she still ended up with such a ridiculous end.
It's just that I just hope that in the future, Yuan Chufeng knows that she drowned, and can come to the lake to find her body, and don't let her sleep in this cold lake forever.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of entering the water, as if a familiar figure had jumped into the water and was swimming towards the Ning Liuying. But the long untied hair was fluttering, and the shadow was so full that people could not see the man's face.
"Lord ......"
Ning Liuying subconsciously opened her mouth to shout, but unexpectedly, more lake water poured into her mouth and nose, and her internal organs seemed to be torn and painful.
She finally couldn't hold on anymore and closed her eyes and fainted.
……
Ning Liuying felt that she was walking in darkness.
The darkness swallowed her up, and she walked in the darkness in a hurry, confused and unable to find her way.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a little fluorescence in front of her, guiding her in the direction of her progress.
Ning Liuying's heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly ran towards the fluorescence.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand, and was about to touch the fluorescent light, when suddenly her eyes opened suddenly, and she woke up.
"Lord Wang!"
Ning Liuying grabbed her hands forward and subconsciously shouted out the name she wanted to shout when she was underwater.
"Don't be afraid, this king is here." A cold voice came, and then a pair of bony hands gently grasped Ning Liuying's hands.
Ning Liuying looked up along these hands, and sure enough, it was Yuan Chufeng.
Her eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears, "Lord Wang, I thought I would never see you again." ”
Seeing Ning Liuying's red eyes, Yuan Chufeng was stunned for a while.
She hadn't looked so weak and helpless before.
He took Ning Liuying's hands and sat on the edge of the bed, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "In the past, you were not a person who would cry casually. ”
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid." Ning Liuying whispered.
She remembered the feeling of despair when she was drowning in the lake, and her body was still trembling slightly, and she looked like she had palpitations.
Yuan Chu Feng clenched Ning Liuying's hands tightly, he took out one free hand and gently stroked her back, and said half funny and half angry: "Now you know that you are afraid?" Why don't you know to be scared when you jump into the lake? Although the lake is not very deep, if a person drowns in the mud at the bottom of the lake, the gods cannot save it. ”
Ning Liuying lowered her head and did not speak.
It wasn't because the silver bracelet was too important that she jumped off at the risk of her life.
After a long while, Ning Liuying slowly raised her gaze and said, "I jumped into the lake to pick up the silver luan bracelet...... Mrs. Qingzhi threw the silver bracelet into the lake...... I knew how to be watery, but I didn't expect that my calves seemed to cramp when I entered the water, and I couldn't climb up for a while. ”
At first glance, when talking about Qingzhi, Ning Liuying suddenly remembered something important.
She looked at Yuan Chufeng and said anxiously: "Lord Wang, Qingzhi is the mastermind behind the fire in Huixin Pavilion a few days ago!" I was admiring the moon in the courtyard at night, but I unexpectedly met Qingzhi who was carrying a burden and was about to escape through the back door. After talking, I knew that Qingzhi was the mastermind behind the scenes, and I stopped her and wanted to hand her over to the prince to dispose of, but unexpectedly, during the fight, she threw the silver luan bracelet into the lake......"
"Lord Wang, it's all useless to me, in order to pick up the silver luan bracelet, Qingzhi ran away, and I had an accident and drowned at the bottom of the lake...... It's not long now, if the prince sends someone to chase after him now, he should be able to catch up with Qingzhi! ”
Looking at Ning Liuying's anxious and self-reproachful appearance, Yuan Chufeng's heart was a little distressed for a while.
He patted Ning Liuying's hands, handed her a relieved look, and sighed lightly: "Although the silver luan bracelet is important, isn't your own life important?" It's just a dead thing, and if you lose it, you lose it, how can you risk your life to pick it up? ”
"Do you know how it feels like when this king came to the backyard to look for you after trying the sinner, and then you fainted in the lake? Don't do this kind of thing in the future, it's not worth it. ”
Thinking of the scene at that time, King Zhennan, who had always been indifferent and ruthless, was also a little afraid.
The sinner who set fire to Huixin Pavilion finally couldn't stand the punishment of the palace and reported Qingzhi's name. As soon as he knew about this, Yuan Chufeng gave the arsonist a good time, and then came to the backyard to cure Qingzhi's sin.
Unexpectedly, in the backyard, Qingzhi's house only had the corpse of the maid beside her, the door of Jiuxiang Courtyard was wide open, and Ning Liuying didn't know where she went.
Yuan Chufeng knew that something was wrong and searched in the mansion. When I walked to the lake, I saw that there were messy feet on the ground, and a string of bubbles appeared in the lake, and it seemed that there were people underneath.
He had a faint foreboding in his heart, and he didn't care about jumping into the lake, and sure enough, he saw Ning Liuying, whose body was falling heavily, in the lake.
Her eyes were slightly closed, and she didn't struggle, and it was heart-wrenching to see.
Fortunately, after rescuing Ning Liuying, she woke up safely and turned around.
Yuan Chufeng sighed, wrapped his hands together, and hugged Ning Liuying tightly.
Ning Liuying's body stiffened, then softened, and he stretched out his hand to hug Yuan Chufeng back.
Some special emotions welled up in her heart, and she couldn't explain it clearly.
The two embraced each other silently, and the passage of time in the room seemed to stand still.
After a long time, Ning Liuying, who still remembered Qingzhi, was a little lost in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, did Qingzhi just let her run away?" After all, the Huixin Pavilion is an important place in the palace, but it's a pity that ......"
"You don't have to worry." Yuan Chufeng let go of Qingzhi, and there was no regret on his face, "Before the sinners in the mansion confessed to Qingzhi, this king was already suspicious of her, and he had already laid a net near the palace. As long as she dares to escape, she will kill herself. ”
"So, Qingzhi has fallen into the hands of the prince?" Ning Liuying's eyes widened, very surprised.
Yuan Chufeng was so thoughtful that he had already realized that Qing Zhi was the mastermind behind the fire in Huixin Pavilion, but he was still struggling with Qing Zhi in the courtyard, and he ended up drowning in vain.
It seemed that he could see Ning Liuying's thoughts, and Yuan Chufeng comforted her softly: "Actually, it's thanks to you that you have dragged down that Qingzhi's footsteps, otherwise you wouldn't have caught her so smoothly...... It's just that in everything you do, remember to put your life first. ”
"I see." Ning Liuying replied in a low voice, with a hidden look of loss on her face.
Seeing her demeanor, Yuan Chufeng suddenly stood up and asked with a smile:
"Then the Huixin Pavilion has been repaired, do you want to go with this king to have a look?"
