Chapter 41: The Stratagem (1)
Dai Qing slightly arranged for the palace maid to take care of Empress Lu on his behalf, and if Empress Lu asked, he said that he would send snacks to the prince. After arranging, Dai Qing hurriedly went straight to the edge of the nullah, pacing anxiously on the edge of the nullah, and saw a little sadness full of hibiscus face, but some of the Dai Qing, who had always been known as the queen's military advisor, was stumped. Dai Qing pinched his chin with his fingers, gritted his teeth and locked his eyebrows, his eyes were dark and he thought for a long time, looked at the entrance from time to time, and continued to pace anxiously without seeing half a figure. After a moment, he forced himself to stop for a while, turned to look at the unfrozen canal of the nullah, the sound of the rattling water seemed indeed pleasant and beautiful in summer, and it was in need of refreshing sweet flowing water to cleanse the filthy court, interweaving music to purify the thoughts of the palace people. Now it's winter, look at the flowing water again, Dai Qing gritted his teeth, and there was a kind of unavoidable willingness between the two bent eyebrows, standing on the side and looking at the quiet water flow, and then looking at the canal There was not a single tree on the edge of the canal, Dai Qing looked left and right, and soon locked his brows. Turning left and right to find the half-big pebbles on the ground and throwing them down, 'poof-' was immediately submerged by the icy water, and Dai Qing couldn't help but shiver. Looking at the entrance again, two people in front of and behind are coming here, it is the prince Liu Ying and Ansheren, the prince's face is flat, still exuding an elegant and generous atmosphere, walking slowly here behind his hands, and Anshe people follow closely. Just after a rockery in the garden, the prince waved his hand to call the Anshe people to go down, and the Anshe people waited beside the rockery not far from them, and they were suspicious of Dai Qing's words as a convenience to look at the prince and Dai Qing from time to time, for fear that something would go wrong, and a gust of wind blew and froze Anshe people to drill behind the rockery, so cold that he kept putting his hands close to his mouth to warm up.
Seeing that the prince was approaching him, and the distance was not too far, the prince asked Dai Qing, "Dai Qing, what ......are you looking for me?"
While speaking, Dai Qing fell into the open channel with a 'poof-', and the water waves immediately rippled out layers of circles. Dai Qing fluttered in the water, splashing everywhere, and struggled out of the water and shouted urgently, 'Help-'. The winter water was very cold even when the sun was the warmest, and after a few sounds, Dai Qing was already frozen in the water and couldn't speak, but he struggled powerlessly for a few times and couldn't exert his strength, and he saw that his strength was exhausted. Liu Ying was frightened by Dai Qing's sudden action, her mouth was open, her eyes widened, and she didn't have time to think about what was going on, so she quickly stood by the canal and looked at Dai Qing who was struggling in the water, and was stunned and hurriedly looked around for branches to save her, but there was no stick on the side of the nullah, so anxious that Liu Ying turned around, scratched her head vigorously, looked at Dai Qing who fell into the water in fear and anxiety, and also helped shout for help. After the rockery, An Delu saw that Dai Qing fell into the nullah all of a sudden, and the anxious Andelu ran to the side of the nullah and shouted for help, so anxious that he wanted to find something to save Dai Qing, and the more anxious he was, the more chaotic he was, and he couldn't find it.
The prince and An Delu were like ants on a hot pot, not knowing what to do, but when Fang was flustered, Dai Qing fluttered a few times, and saw that he was about to fall. Liu Ying was frightened, but her eyes lit up in a panic, and she hurriedly took off the wide robe and threw it in An Delu's hand and prepared to go into the water, but was quickly stopped by An Delu's hand and persuaded, "No, the prince is weak, and the mother ......told him a thousand times."
"Take it, if you don't save it, Dai Qing will die." didn't care about An Delu's statement, the prince continued to undress and asked An Delu to take it. 'Poof-' jumped into the water, and as soon as he entered the water, he was invaded by the cold and biting water, and Liu Ying quickly swam to Dai Qing before he could feel the cold. Looking at the prince swimming over vaguely, Dai Qing was already exhausted, she was shivering from the cold in the water, her face was blue and her lips were black, and she was almost unconscious. "Your Highness be careful...... "An Delu looked at the two people in the water nervously and panickedly, restless. Liu Ying's face was already black and blue, and she continued to swim to Dai Qing's side, calling Dai Qing's name, for fear that she would not be able to stand the cold for a while and would no longer insist. Dai Qing, who was fluttering in the water, was unconscious at this time, only felt very cold, his brain was flooded, his eyes were getting darker and darker, and a vague person swam towards her, so cold that he wanted to fall asleep and couldn't hold on anymore, and even the last struggle sank quietly, and suddenly the water surface only 'gurgled and cooed' A few blisters appeared, and then there were no blisters, and the surface of the canal instantly returned to quiet.
"Miss Dai......" An Delu on the shore shouted in fear and jumped up, he saw Dai Qing sinking into the water, and hurriedly told the prince to hurry up, and there was still a small chance of sinking life. Anderloch was so anxious on the shore that he couldn't go down by himself, but he was a landlubber. The prince just pretended not to hear anything, and said, "You can't die." Then he dived into the water, and suddenly the surface of the water was quiet again. An Delu anxiously pointed to the direction where the prince was sinking and shouted, "His Royal Highness the prince ......", seeing that the prince did not respond, but he cried loudly, and ran away in panic to find someone to hurry to the nullah to save people. "Someone is coming—help—the prince has fallen into the water......" Andelu kept screaming and ran away.
After a while, there was a 'boom-', and the water splashed again, and the prince and Dai Qing got out of the water, and the two of them shivered with cold, as if they heard the sound of teeth colliding. The prince swam to the shore safely with one hand around Dai Qing's neck, and he almost didn't hold on to fall again, just after losing his head, he floated out again, spit and drank the water in his mouth, and continued to swim to the shore. Winter is not like summer, you can swim freely in the water in summer, and you will be so cold as soon as it goes down in winter, not to mention that you have been in the water for a long time. The crown prince Liu Ying finally got himself and Dai Qing to the shore with great effort, and the two of them lay on the cold ground with their backs to the sky, at this time Dai Qing was unconscious and soaking wet. Liu Ying was also shivering and exhausted, and in a blink of an eye, Dai Qing's body was stiff and there was no reaction, Liu Ying insisted on supporting the upper half of her body to control the water for Dai Qing, and pressed her hands on Dai Qing's chest, the prince was embarrassed for a while, and did not dare to touch Dai Qing's body, especially her chest, and after hesitating, she glanced at the unconscious Dai Qing and gritted her teeth to rescue her, and the water in Dai Qing's mouth kept spitting out. The prince was a little overjoyed, and called her anxiously, "Wake up-Dai Qing-wake up......" Dai Qing still didn't wake up, and he didn't respond for a long time. Liu Ying himself was also a little powerless, as if darkness was coming in front of him, with the last bit of strength, he touched Dai Qing's mouth in a trance and pinched the person, and just pinched weakly to the fourth time, the prince trembled all over, and sneezed three times in a row, then he felt that his eyes were dark, his head fell heavily to the ground, and he fainted.
It seemed like a long time before An Delu's hurried voice came from a distance, "Go and save people." His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave is really useless, and this is here to save you. More than a dozen eunuchs hurriedly ran to the nullah over An Delu, looking for the prince and Dai Qing, who had been lying on the ground and had been unconscious for a long time. Several eunuchs heard that someone was drowning, so they looked for a spacious board and hurriedly came, and carried the prince and Dai Qing on the spacious board, and Andelu, who was the slowest runner behind, ran panting, pulled away from the crowd, and saw the prince soaking wet, lying on the board in a coma, and looking at Dai Qing again. The Ansha people lay on the crown prince again and wept loudly, afraid in their hearts, thinking about how the emperor and queen would settle accounts with him.
"Your Highness...... The old slave is useless...... "The Anshe people grabbed the prince's hand, and wept with tears and snot, and the prince's hand was extremely cold. Several eunuchs said in unison that they should be sent back to the prince's palace for treatment, otherwise it would be too late. An Delu hurriedly took off his clothes, and asked several other people to take off their clothes outside and cover them for the prince and Dai Qing, and quickly made way for everyone to send the prince and Dai Qing back quickly. The situation was critical, and An Delu took it upon himself to send the prince and Dai Qing back to the prince's palace for treatment, and Changxin Palace was a little far away from the nullah compared to the prince's palace.
