Chapter 329: I Regret It
Since the accident, the lake in the Imperial Garden has rarely been approached.
Even if the palace maids have something to do, they are far away. Occasionally, when there are many people, they dare to get together and discuss the events of that day.
"See? Right there! The little son of the Linchang uncle's family drowned there, and I heard that the murderer has not been found yet. ”
"OMG! It's terrible to hear that the guards have been bought. ”
"Yes! And I've heard that this matter is probably not done alone, maybe the murderer is still in the palace. ”
Several palace maids who came out to collect dew, when they said this, shouted out in unison "ah", and they trembled together.
"It's scary!"
"Aren't we dangerous, then?"
"Say no more! You're going to scare people to death! ”
But there was a bold one: "I happen to know the palace man who saw Zheng Xiaogongzi flooding." Listening to her, she passed by the Imperial Garden that day, and when she looked up, she saw hands fluttering in the water. At that time, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran over to call the guards...... By the way, it seems like we are in this position......"
"Ahhh......h
"Don't be afraid." After scaring people, the palace maid smiled and said, "It's that day, not today, how can you have any hands......"
Someone looked up at the lake and jumped up "ahhh
The palace maids, who had just been appeased, were shocked again, and they stretched out their hands to pat her: "I'm going to die, you want to scare us too!" ”
However, the palace maid's face was terrifyingly white, her pupils were opened, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she said incoherently: "No, there are really hands, there are really hands!" Look! ”
The palace maids followed her fingers, and sure enough, the lake kept thrashing, and there were hands struggling on it.
"Ahhh......h
After running two steps, a few people came back to their senses and said, "That's not right! Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight? Don't someone slide down again, right? ”
"Hurry up, call someone to help!"
As soon as they had said that, they saw a shadow pass by, and someone ran to the lake, took off his shoes without hesitation, and jumped into the water.
This is a woman, wearing palace clothes, but the style is much more gorgeous than that of the palace maids.
Someone recognized it and exclaimed in surprise: "Then, is that the Jade Concubine Niangniang?" ”
The other palace maids immediately denied: "How is it possible? How could the Jade Concubine Niangniang personally go into the water to save people? ”
"But, it looks like it!"
As they said this, they heard a voice behind them: "Niangniang, Niangniang! ”
The first few palace maids hurriedly ran over, and when they saw the situation in the lake, they broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "Come on!" Come on! Someone fell into the lake! ”
As they shouted, people nearby rushed to this direction.
The palace maid murmured before: "You still say no, this is the pendant next to the Jade Concubine Niangniang, that is the Jade Concubine Niangniang." ”
"! Empress! Pendant's tears were about to fall, crying and wiping her tears, "Come up quickly!" Is it okay to let someone else save it? ”
However, the jade concubine ignored it, swam over and grabbed the drowning person, hugged her from behind, and dragged her to the shore.
"Plop! Thump! The attendants hurried into the water.
Someone went to pick up the drowning person, and someone went to pick up the jade concubine.
Finally, both were dragged up.
On an November day, the lake is almost freezing. The drowning was a palace maid, who looked very young, and her face was pale and motionless at this time.
Concubine Yu was soaked, and all the makeup on her face was gone, but she only coughed twice, spit out the water in her mouth, and then put aside the chamberlain and went to see the palace maid: "How is she?" Still alive? ”
The chamberlain, who was in charge of saving people, sniffed the palace maid, and while breaking her mouth, he said, "There is still gas." ”
Concubine Yu stared at her closely, her eyes not moving.
After a while, the palace maid coughed, spit out a large mouthful of water, and came to her senses.
"Alive, alive!" Seeing her open her eyes, the people around her showed happy expressions.
Concubine Yu also smiled, and only then did she realize the cold, hugged herself, and sneezed.
"!" Shen'er pounced, hurriedly handed over the cloak, tears fell straight down, "Why don't you cherish yourself so much?" Your status is so valuable, what if something happens? Can't you leave it to someone else to save it? ”
Concubine Yu touched her head and said, "At that time, the situation was urgent, where did you think of so much?" It's all human life, what is precious or not. ”
When she said this, she heard an exclamation in her ears.
"Your Majesty."
"See Your Majesty."
Concubine Yu raised her head in a daze, looked at the emperor's pale face, her lips moved, and she didn't speak.
……
After returning to Lingxiu Palace, Shen'er waited for the jade concubine and took a bath with hot water.
Despite this, Concubine Yu sneezed repeatedly.
When she came out of the clean room, she heard the emperor instruct the palace maid: "How can the ginger soup be enough?" Go and ask the doctor to come. ”
"But the mother commanded ......"
"Listen to her or listen to me?"
The palace maid didn't dare to say more, and curtled her knees: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
The Jade Concubine stood stunned, watching him turn around and watch him walk towards her.
Until he asked, "Are you okay?" ”
She suddenly whimpered and hugged her in tears.
The emperor was suddenly hugged by her, a little uncomfortable, but he did not break away.
Until her crying subsided, he slowly patted her on the back: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Concubine Yu's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you know how scared I was just now?" If I had delayed a little longer, perhaps the little maid would have drowned. I watched her struggle in the water, like, like, like......"
She twisted her head, tears streaming down her face.
This was probably the ugliest time when she entered the palace, not only did she not have the slightest fat powder on her face, but she also looked haggard, her face was pale, and her eyes were hazy with tears.
But the emperor at this time, more gentle than ever.
He hugged her gently, sat down in the warm brocade quilt, and said softly, "I know, it's like ...... You can't save her at the time, can you? ”
Concubine Yu nodded, and her tears fell more urgently.
She said intermittently, "You don't know how scared I was at the time. The young lady fell into the sea, it was terriblely dark, there were pirates everywhere, there was fire everywhere...... I shouted two sentences, and a pirate came, so I didn't dare to shout, and I shrank on the ship and didn't dare to move. I hated myself so much for why I didn't jump in to save Miss. If you can save it at that time, you won't regret it every day. Even if I can't save it, I can die with Miss......"
The emperor's eyes were also wet.
He also remembered that day. When he arrived, the pirates were gone, the sea was littered with broken ships and unrecognizable corpses, and he couldn't find anyone he was looking for......
