Chapter 20 Unbelief Returns to Holpool
Although I watched the twists and turns of this small half day, accompanied by a pool of clear lotus, Mu Churan was also very comfortable. The imperial capital seems to be free from the blue eyes of the lotus, and the summer is the longest but the lotus flowering period is the shortest when the imperial capital is in the imperial capital, and he is busy with official affairs and does not care about it. It is rare to come out to swim in the south once, and it seems to see Xiao He coming to the lake to walk around, and he is very leisurely and comfortable. I also got off the dragon boat at this time to take a good look.
When he walked here, he saw a lotus flower with a particularly beautiful shape and didn't know who stepped on the petals messily, Mu Churan was very sorry, and bent down to pick it up. When he got up, as a monarch, he was keenly aware that the water surface in front of him seemed to be a little different from the other water surfaces he had just walked on—the lotus flowers elsewhere were slim, and the lotus leaves were tiled like umbrellas underneath, as if holding this point red; However, when you look at this place, most of the lotus leaves are folded upside down, and the lotus flowers, which should have been lifted by the slender stems between the leaves, are also half-floating in the water like drowning due to the inverted folding of many leaves, as if someone was torn from below, which looks very strange.
Mu Churan was guessing that someone was drowning, and such a violent reaction should not be suicide. Thinking of this, Mu Churan's eyes tightened. This is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't know who would be so bold and openly murderous? Do you ignore my majesty? Do you ignore the king's law?
Mu Churan was very angry and was about to call the guards to come and save people. When she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the lotus seed ornament that her sister had given to others an hour ago, and the lotus seed was peeled out of the freshly picked lotus canopy, and she specially ordered someone to make a small ornament, which could be hung on the waist or under the fan. Mu Qingwan is very happy to play this and has done a lot. Because it has just been made, it was only given to a few, and even King An's Mansion has not had time to send it. The queen mother is dining on the dragon boat with Wan'er at the moment, so in addition to herself, the queen mother and Wan'er, there is only one person left. Who else was there just now?
……
Mu Churan thought of the answer, and his heart tightened.
Xiao He!
He was assassinated earlier in the imperial capital, but he didn't succeed, it seems that the thief's heart is not dead. Mu Churan summoned the guards in the distance.
Although Xiao He's origin is unknown, he is still a person who understands the current situation and can understand things. There are not many such people in the court, and most of the ministers are wise to protect their lives and do not say a word. For example, yesterday, if Xiao He didn't say anything to give himself a bright staircase, Ji Changge, who was not afraid of death, might really have to build a dam with his body. Although he often teased and tempted him, he had no intention of killing him.
Mu Churan deeply felt that he couldn't lose Xiao He for the time being, "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go" This is his own code of conduct, but whether it is killing a thousand by mistake or letting one go, it is also his decision as a king. The power of life and death of all beings in the world has always been in my hands, not something that a thief can defile.
The thought passed quickly in his head, but when he came back to his senses, the guards were still on their way. Mu Churan didn't know how long Xiao He had been drowning, and if he delayed for a moment at this time, something might happen to him. It may be that Xiao He's appreciation and need made this emperor feel dangerous, and he didn't care about the dignity of the dragon body, took off his white robe, took a deep breath and then held his breath, and plunged headlong into the water where the lotus leaf was most inverted.
Even in Jiuzhou, the water of the September Lake in the tip of this beauty is inevitably a little cold at the moment. Mu Churan jumped down to know that the lotus flowers on the lake were very beautiful, but the lotus leaves were really criss-crossed and the stems were connected, and he himself searched for the broken part of the lotus rhizome. But what made Mu Churan even more worried was that, judging from the degree of breakage, Xiao He must have tried to save himself but obviously failed, thinking about the skinny bones of the person who was once teased and half-embraced into his arms, how much strength does he have left?
Mu Churan was actively searching underwater, and the guards on the shore had just arrived, seeing his noble Emperor His Majesty jump into the water and plunge into the lake one after another.
It doesn't matter if you don't tie it, this tie not only does not bring convenience to finding Xiao He, but also increases the difficulty of finding. Under the surface of the lake, the roots were already intricate, and it was difficult to see, but suddenly there were many more people, and they could only hear the limbs stirring the river and the cries of the people on the shore, and they could no longer rely on movement to find people. Secondly, the guards didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor had called them to look for, and most of them just followed him to keep him safe.
Mu Churan secretly confessed in his heart that he had miscalculated, while continuing to search for the traces of broken lotus stems.
Every moment passed, the more worried Mu Churan became.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally Mu Churan found Xiao He on the mud that was almost at the bottom of the lake, his feet were almost submerged in the silt, his lips were blue on his face, and the three thousand green silks floating by the water were swaying at the bottom of the water like aquatic plants.
Mu Churan doesn't care about anything else at the moment, people often say that when you rescue a drowning person, you have to knock him unconscious, because he will treat you as a lifesaver and hold on to it.
Mu Churan hoped that Xiao He would use him as a straw to catch on to his death, because that would at least prove that he was alive. But now the person he is holding in his hands, how can there be half a minute of movement?
At this moment, Mu Churan's hands are very weak, and there is no place to borrow under the water, and it is obviously impossible to pull out Xiao He who has his feet trapped in the mud with the strength of one person. Fortunately, this group of guards finally knew that their majesty was going to save a person, and they came up to help. If the guards can go out of the palace and follow the holy car to the south, they must all have excellent physical fitness and experience, so as to be ready to protect His Majesty and everyone at any time. Fortunately, no one caused chaos at this critical moment, so Xiao He was rescued.
Xiao He Fangcai still felt that her father and mother had come to pick her up, so she was about to give up her breathing, give up struggling, and follow them. Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands drag me back. Then the breath returned, the light returned, and all the feelings of the living returned. But she was so tired at the moment that she didn't even want to open her eyes.
The lotus leaf that was folded just now is even more messy at the moment, as if telling the hard work and tension of the rescue just now.
Mu Churan was also very tired after this toss, but he still looked at Xiao He, who was rescued but had already lost half his life, without blinking, trying to see half of his life from the wet man.
Xiao He has a few aquatic plants hanging on the bottom of the lake, and a small lotus petal sticking to his right cheek, except for the purple-haired black lips, the whole person is very quiet and beautiful, and there is no casual and aggressive appearance on weekdays.
Mu Churan couldn't see him like he had lost his life, and asked, "What about the imperial doctor?" What about the Imperial Doctor? Why hasn't the imperial doctor arrived? "Even if Xiao He has been drowning for too long, crazy, or stupid, no matter what, he wants a result.
The movement here has obviously alarmed everyone on the dragon boat. Hearing that the emperor jumped into the lake just to rescue a courtier, everyone was surprised. His Majesty the Emperor of his own country is graceful and luxurious, attaches great importance to face, and this kind of saving people is not like what he can do, but he still praises and praises His Majesty for his compassion for his subordinates. Of course, people with a heart must be puzzled, the personnel on the dragon boat and nearby are extremely strictly censored, where did this thief come from to dare to do such a thing?
Looking around the ship, the crowd reacted differently.
The Queen Mother was very angry about this matter, and asked the guards for not protecting His Majesty's safety, how noble the dragon body was, how could he risk his life to save a courtier? Does my royal family want you guards to eat white rice?
Mu Qingwan was very worried, worried about his emperor's elder brother and Xiao He, eager to know the latest news, and kept grabbing the guards who came to report the news and asking carefully, "Are they back?" ”
Ji Changge was very worried about Xiao He on his face, and in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, he was carefully analyzing the reasons for this drowning incident with the chief of guards.
Duan Heng was also very worried about Xiao He, although he was willing to see his awkward and uncomfortable embarrassment, but this kind of thing was too dangerous, and he was assassinated twice in succession for a period of time, Xiao He's situation was very bad.
Several ministers and nobles were also afraid, fearing that the next person to drown would be themselves.
Duan Shengyi, the county lord of King An's mansion, seemed to be frightened by this sudden drowning, and couldn't help twisting his fingers around the precious shark silk handkerchief in his hand.
Duan Heng obviously noticed his sister's movements, and his heart sank.
According to Sheng Yi's temperament, it is really possible. But whether his sister has the courage to do so makes Duan Heng very suspicious, he especially hopes that his sister can be as squeamish and weak as she looks at the moment, and he doesn't have the strength and courage to push and put Xiao He to death, so it's best not to even have this kind of thought.
But what the truth is, Duan Heng has no bottom in his heart. Since Duan Shengyi smashed his study last time, he found that he didn't know his sister at all. When I was a child, the brothers and sisters who were close to each other, after all, couldn't resist their respective directions, one hated others, the other loved ones, went the opposite way, and went farther and farther.
On the shore of the beauty, Mu Churan and Xiao He were still there, surrounded by a large circle of palace maids and guards. The guards originally wanted to carry Xiao He back to the dragon boat, but Mu Churan sharply refused. A drowning person should not move at will, for fear that the large saliva swallowed through the mouth during drowning may enter other parts or suffocate to death; And there is mud and sand in the lake water, the water quality is unclean, and it is easy to be infected, so it is better to wait for the imperial doctor to come and then deal with it.
When the wind rose in the evening, Mu Churan's body was soaked, and he felt a little cold at the moment. After looking around, he picked up the white robe that he hurriedly threw on the ground, and carefully covered Xiao He.
Xu is move woke up Xiao He, and Mu Churan clearly saw his rather cold fingertips move in a slightly invisible amplitude.
Mu Churan didn't care about the monarch and minister's defense, and he was too intimate or something, so he only stared at the hand, trying to see it move again. Xiao He Xu was really about to wake up, and his fingertips trembled a little more.
