But there was nothing to see under the cliff except for the dense bushes.

The river is sparkling, and the rising morning sun seems to have sprinkled a layer of gold on the water, and there seems to be something floating quietly on the river in the distance, due to the distance, Shen Nianzhen can't see what it is.

She immediately turned around, planning to go back to discuss with Rong Chen, and send someone down to salvage, maybe she could find any clues.

But the moment she turned around, she saw a guard with a knife running out of the jungle behind her, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, hurry back!" The prince is looking for you. ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded when he heard this, and said, "I'm about to go back." So saying, he walked up the cliff with his feet.

But at this moment, the guard suddenly rushed forward quickly, raised his arms and pushed Shen Nianzhen fiercely with a hideous face, and shouted, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry!" ”

Behind him is the cliff, and below is the sparkling, bottomless river.

Shen Nianzhen was pushed like this, he could no longer maintain his weight, and fell off the cliff like a kite with a broken string.

It just so happened that Rong Chen led people up from the mountain, and when he saw this scene, his eyes suddenly cracked, and he shouted, "Nian Zhen!" The man also jumped up and flew towards this direction as fast as he could.

However, it was still too late, Rong Chen only had time to grab a piece of Shen Nianzhen's skirt, and watched her fall into the rolling river, and she could no longer be seen in the blink of an eye.

"Nian Zhen!" Rong Chen shouted hoarsely.

But all that responded to him was a breeze and waves.

The guard who pushed Shen Nianzhen into the water suddenly laughed when he saw this scene, and then the next moment he pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the heart.

Immediately, the man fell limply to the ground.

This change happened in an instant, it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye, and Shen Nianzhen's delicate and graceful figure was no longer in front of him, and a bloody corpse was left on the ground.

"Nian Zhen, don't be afraid, you wait, this palace will come to save you!" Rong Chen said loudly, suddenly jumped forward, and jumped down without hesitation.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Nanfeng and the others were caught off guard, no one thought that things would turn out like this, and they all shouted loudly at the bottom of the cliff: "Your Highness! Dangerous! Come on! ”

At this time, how can you come up as you say?

As soon as Rong Chen jumped down, he was soon submerged under the boiling river, and at first he could still see him fluttering in the water, but when he plunged under the water to find someone, everyone could no longer see clearly.

"Whatever happens, let it go."

At this time, Commander Hu hurried over with his people, pushed away all the guards who were crowded on the periphery, and stepped forward.

Nanfeng turned his head violently, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said coldly to Commander Hu: "Our Highness has already said that you should keep an eye on the road of this mountain and forest!" Don't just let people get involved! You just don't pay attention! Okay now, this person pretended to be a guard and sneaked in, and just pushed the eldest lady of the Shen family off the cliff with his own hands, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead! Our Highness has also jumped down to find someone! ”

"His Royal Highness also fell into the river?" Commander Hu was taken aback when he heard this, and his face immediately changed.

It's better to say that he injured a kitten and a puppy, but it's nothing, if His Royal Highness the Second Prince also falls off the cliff, and his life and death are unknown, then his head as the commander of the little Imperial Forest Army can't be saved.

"Yes! So many people have seen it! Nanfeng's tone was cold: "Master Hu, I'm too lazy to argue with you at this time, please immediately lead your people down the cliff with me to find someone!" At the same time, send people to block the lower reaches of the river, and it is best to search for it within fifty miles of the vicinity. ”

"Okay, okay, the lower official will arrange it." Commander Hu has reached this point, he is already a master of the six gods, and he nodded frantically whatever Nanfeng said.

"Also, send someone to find out who this person is, he is dressed in the service of the Imperial Guards, not like someone who has casually mixed in from outside." Nanfeng said, looking down at the guard who had committed suicide, and said with a gloomy face.

"Okay." Commander Hu said with a complicated expression.

Immediately, the south wind led the people, fixed the rope, and took the lead to lead the people who knew the autumn water down the cliff and into the water to catch people.

"I'm going to have to bring in some more people." Commander Hu arranged for everyone to go to the lower reaches of the river to salvage and find people, and then said to himself.

But by this time, no one had paid any attention to him anymore.

went into the mountains with great fanfare to look for people, but they didn't find it, and they also let the second prince of the dynasty and Miss Shen have accidents, which is really a loss for Mrs. and a soldier.

Commander Hu didn't dare to imagine how the emperor would be furious when he went back.

It's all his fault! didn't open his mouth early to let Shen Nianzhen go back, otherwise would there be such a thing?

Commander Hu was remorseful, but he could only admit that he was unlucky, and at the same time he led people to search with his hands and feet, and he himself personally transferred the case files of the Imperial Forest Army to check who the self-committed Praetorian guard was and why he did it.

When the news reached Shangjingli, the whole country was shocked.

Needless to say, the emperor's anger is needless to say, even Concubine Qi in the harem heard that her son had an accident, and she fainted directly from convulsions, but fortunately, the palace people invited Doctor Ge into the palace to wake her up.

A pair of grandchildren are gone, and Mrs. Shen is worried every day, not thinking about eating, and has trouble sleeping at night, and in just three days, she is a lot haggard.

Shen Zhong was very distressed when he saw it, but he could only try his best to hide the news and not let the old lady know, otherwise, something big would happen at home.

He himself was also worried, and personally wrote a memo to ask the emperor to let him personally take someone to find his son and daughter, but the emperor refused, and the emperor sent the most powerful general in the court, Commander Xu, to personally lead thousands of people to search for people in the lower reaches of the river, and at the same time called Commander Hu back and scolded him severely.

Commander Hu was very frightened in his heart, for fear that the emperor would take off his black gauze hat, and hurriedly presented the results of his investigation in this day: "Your Majesty! The person who pushed Miss Shen off the cliff was named Wang Zixuan, and he was personally recommended by the queen's maiden uncle! ”

"What do you say? This matter involves the queen again? When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he was very unhappy.

"Yes! The lower officials don't dare to slander the queen! But the evidence is conclusive! ”

Commander Hu lowered his head and trembled, but he held the music in his hand high.

The emperor frowned and looked at him coldly, snorted, reached out to take it, and opened it to see.

The more he looked, the more ugly his face became.

When he got to the back, the emperor snapped and threw the fold in his hand to the ground, and looked at Commander Hu with a gloomy face: "What do you mean, the queen has been secretly sending people to prevent you from looking for Commander Xiao Shen?" And secretly sent people to plot against the eldest lady of the Shen family several times? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Father-in-law Zhang's corpse, as well as this Wang Zixuan, and a man who appeared in the middle who tried to ruin Miss Shen's reputation...... These people are more or less involved with the queen's mother. "Commander Hu didn't dare to say it very hard.

But this is more important than directly saying that it was the empress's assassination, and it made the emperor angry.

The mother of a dignified country, she actually has a chicken belly to such a point, just because Shen Yunlan refuses to marry the princess, she wants to harm him?

He will not tolerate this matter!

"Okay, you go down, if the second child and Miss Shen can't find them back, or if something happens, the palace wants your head to be buried with them!"

"Yes, yes, the lower officials understand, let's go." Commander Hu nodded again and again, and then retreated.

The emperor looked at his embarrassed appearance and wanted to laugh a little, but thinking about the disappearance of the second child, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He sighed softly, got up with a gloomy face, and asked in a low voice from the inner supervisor Gao Gonggong beside him: "Your Highness, let the old slave help you in to rest?" ”

"No, the main palace is going to Kunning Palace." The emperor waved his hand and walked out with a calm face.

Gao Gonggong immediately sang loudly: "Swing Kunning Palace-"

……

The moment Shen Nianzhen fell into the water, she felt cold in all directions, and she couldn't breathe anymore.

She was panicked and confused, wondering why it had turned out like this.

Who the hell is that little guard? Why push her?

There are no answers to these questions, and Shen Nianzhen can't figure it out, but the worst thing at the moment is that she can't swim in the water, and she keeps splashing and struggling in the water, but she is still involuntarily swept farther and farther away by the turbulent water.

Is this going to be the way she is going to die? Big brother and sister Zhu haven't been found yet!

Shen Nianzhen was secretly anxious, trying to grab something and float, but she accidentally poured a large mouthful of water, choking on the cold sea water, and her heart and lungs were uncomfortable.

However, in the vast river, there is nothing but the petrels flying and circling overhead.

Shen Nian was really desperate.

I gradually gave up struggling.

But at this time, there was a sudden sound of water behind her, and then something powerful instantly grabbed her arm, and also stopped her from continuing to sink her body.

Shen Nianzhen was startled, and subconsciously shouted for help.

But at this moment, she heard a deep voice behind her: "Don't be afraid, it's this palace." ”

As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Shen Nianzhen's consciousness immediately returned.

Those fears, worries, and fears disappeared in an instant like hideous and terrifying shadows, and Shen Nianzhen had never felt so safe in life.

She didn't look back, but leaned her head back on Rong Chen's chest and exhaled slightly.

The sound of the water was rattling, Rong Chen swam in the water, and swam to the shore with Shen Nianzhen, and couldn't help but speak: "You just listen to the sound and judge that it is the main palace?" Don't even look back? ”

"Your Highness, why did you come down too?" Shen Nianzhen finally glanced back at him, on the white river, only Rong Chen's eyes were dark and bright, better than the warm sun's rays: "That person won't push you down, right?" ”

"Joke!" When Rong Chen heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully: "Do you think this palace is as stupid as you?" The man committed suicide, and Hongu jumped down to look for you, but fortunately he found it. ”

God knows how terrifying Shen Nianzhen was when he saw him fall off the cliff with his own eyes!

My mind went blank, I stopped thinking, and there was only one thought in my heart, which was to find her! Be sure to find her! She must not be allowed to die!

It wasn't until he finally caught up with Shen Nianzhen in the water and really hugged her into his arms that this feeling of horror dissipated.

"Your Highness jumped off a cliff to save me?" Shen Nian said in disbelief.

"Yes, otherwise how do you think this palace would be here." Rong Chen said angrily: "You don't stay in the carriage early in the morning, what are you doing here?" Do you really think that your eldest brother fell off a cliff and into this river? ”、

"I think it's possible." Shen Nianzhen recalled that this morning, she stood on the cliff and saw the thing floating on the river from a distance, although she couldn't see what it was, but she had a feeling in her heart that that thing must be related to his eldest brother.

"The cliff where your eldest brother and Miss Zhu fell is not the same as this at all." Rong Chen said helplessly when he heard this.

"It's also possible that they fell off a cliff and didn't die, and then they were chased and killed by people with bad intentions, and they had no choice but to jump from here." Shen Nianzhen said.

"It's all your guess." Rong Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly felt that both he and Rong Chen seemed to be sinking, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, are you tired?" Can't paddle in the water? ”

"Shut up! Hongu can still support it! Rong Chen said fiercely, gritting his teeth and trying his last bit of strength to continue paddling, but they had been floating in the water for a long time, and he really couldn't support it.

And the nearest riverside is still so far away.

Shen Nianzhen realized that if she continued like this, she and Rong Chen would both be drowned, so she immediately said, "Your Highness, let me go and swim to the shore by yourself!" You can do it without me......"

"Shut up! Shut up! Rong Chen scolded angrily when he heard this: "Shen Nianzhen, do you want this palace to be the person who can't be saved when he sees death, is indifferent and ruthless?" This palace won't let you go! Die to die together! ”

"You are the prince, and you may inherit the throne in the future." Shen Nianzhen said slowly: "It's a pity to drown here with me like this." ”

"What about you? Are you willing to die? Rong Chen gritted his teeth and paddled hard like a toddler old man.

"Of course I don't." Shen Nianzhen turned his head to look at him and said, "However, this may be my life, but you don't have to die with me, Lord Wang." ”

"Long-winded!" Rong Chen snorted coldly when he heard this, and said.

The speed at which the two of them were moving forward was getting slower and slower, and Shen Nianzhen was already thinking about whether to push Rong Chen away and let him paddle out of here on his own.

But at this moment, her eyes suddenly saw a long thing floating on the water not far away, very similar to what she had seen on the cliff before.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly became excited, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Rong Chen, and shouted at him: "Your Highness, look! There's something over there! As long as we swim over, we will be saved! ”

Rong Chen was already exhausted, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look over there with difficulty, and then his eyes lit up suddenly: "That's a piece of driftwood!" As long as we swim over and catch it, we can float with our strength......"

As he spoke, he drove Shen Nianzhen to swim over there with difficulty.

Shen Nianzhen was afraid of adding obstacles and troubles to him, so she had been careful not to flutter, and let Rong Chen hold her waist tightly with one hand, and the two of them were very close, she could clearly hear the strong heartbeat in Rong Chen's chest, and a strong manly breath rushed straight to her nose.

Shen Nianzhen, Shen Nianzhen, how can you have crooked thoughts at this time! Your Highness, this is desperately trying to save you!

Shen Nianzhen spat on himself fiercely in his heart, and then turned his head with a red face.

Rong Chen didn't know anything about this, his mind was all on the piece of driftwood, cautiously, but unswervingly holding Shen Nianzhen and swimming over, and finally, he reached out and grabbed this piece of life-saving wood.

"Great! Your Highness! You finally don't have to work so hard. When his hands touched the real driftwood, a smile suddenly appeared on Shen Nianzhen's face.

Rong Chen hugged the driftwood, lay there panting heavily, turned his head sideways to look at Shen Nianzhen's smiling face, he suddenly felt that it was all worth it.

The sun is gradually rising, the river is gradually getting warmer, and the shore is far away, but the stomachs of the two people are growling with hunger, and Shen Nianzhen has the opportunity to ask: "Your Highness, you just jumped down to save me, do your subordinates know?" Will they come to us? ”

"Yes, we just need to persevere, and we will definitely be rescued." Rong Chen said in a deep voice.

Shen Nianzhen believed his words, nodded, and then held the driftwood with both hands, and leaned down lazily: "I'm so tired, I really want to rest for a while......"

"Can't rest!" When Rong Chen heard this, he immediately spoke: "We must swim to the shore in one go!" Otherwise, who knows if there are any big fish or beasts in this water? When the time comes, a bite will be a great thing......"

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he was immediately frightened, and he didn't dare to rest, so he hurriedly straightened up and paddled with the appearance of Rong Chen, a driftwood scholar, expecting the two of them to reach the other side earlier.

When Rong Chen saw it, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and said softly at the moment: "You don't have to care, just hold it tight, this palace will take you to the shore." ”

"Does Your Highness think that I need a man's protection like a delicate woman like Su Muwan?" Shen Nianzhen frowned when he heard this: "Actually, I can also fight side by side with you." ”

After speaking, he learned Rong Chen's movements and paddled hard, and said while paddling: "Hurry up for two people, you can find food when you get to the shore." ”

It turned out that I was hungry.

Ordinary women are ashamed to talk about this, but Shen Nianzhen doesn't think so.

Rong Chen couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this, Shen Nianzhen could always give him unexpected surprises.

The two of them fought side by side, and the speed was really much faster than just now.

Finally, an hour later, the shore was vividly visible.

But at this moment, several large ships suddenly sailed on the river, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the center of the river, and saw that the direction was coming this way.

Shen Nian really saw it, and couldn't help asking, "Who is that?" Was it sent to save us? ”

Rong Chen stopped paddling, squinted his eyes on the pergola and looked over there a few times, and suddenly his face changed suddenly.
