Chapter 70: Salvation
"Whoa—"
The people around finally found Qiu Tian's figure and shouted: "People are there!" ”
"Miss, wait for me!" Angelica immediately threw off his cloak and jumped into the lake.
On the other hand, Qiu Tian's side finally broke through the water, "Huha...... Hoo Ha ......"
She gasped for breath and wiped away the thin layer of mud from her face, and quickly searched the lake for the man who had done her the murder, but by the time she found him, it was too late.
Countless people fell into the water to save her, causing chaos on the lake, and the shore was more like an exploding pot and a mess, and that person just took advantage of the crowd to mix into the lotus canopy of the winter lotus root and disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, a cold north wind blew, the lotus leaves swayed, the lake rippled, and everyone in the lake shrank into a ball of coldness, and she shivered slightly.
But at this moment, she escaped death and finally came back to life.
Just as she was like a frightened bird, vigilantly cheering around, beware of the next "black hand", Angelica's voice broke into her world.
"Thank goodness, miss, you're okay!"
Angelica was the first person to swim to her side as he walked, looking nervously at her embarrassed, tears from the corners of his eyes mixed with muddy water.
At this moment, she is safe. She was about to take a long breath of relief and return home, but Angelica mistakenly thought that Qiu Tian was frightened and froze, and hurriedly hugged Qiu Tian tightly, "Miss, don't be afraid!" Angelica is here! Don't be afraid, miss......"
Qiu Tian was hugged tightly by Angelica, she took a deep breath, patted Angelica and quipped: "Angelica, if you work harder, I will be strangled to death by you and help others make meritorious contributions." ”
"Huh?!" Angelica was stunned, his face changed instantly, and his original appearance of crying with joy turned into cold-blooded and looked around, lowering his voice, "Miss, do you mean that someone is not good for you?" ”
"Hmm!" Qiu Tian smiled slightly, not showing too much panic and fear, or panicking and making a fuss, but lowered his voice and said, "Go back to Huanxi Courtyard and talk about it." ”
"Good!" Angelica replied, and the others came after him.
Qiu Tian was dragged to the lake like this, and climbed up the rope ladder with difficulty.
In the kitchen of the inner court:
After the frightened Qiu Tian freshened up, he sat at the Chengcai table in the inner courtyard kitchen, quietly watching the busy cooks start to make dinner.
"Come on, come on...... Xiuniang brought a bowl of hot ginger soup to Qiu Tian, "Drink this hot ginger soup to warm up." ”
As soon as she took the soup bowl, the embroidery girl put her backhand on her head, "Fortunately, there is no fever." ”
"It was too dangerous just now, that little Liu Zi rushed out of the crowd like crazy, and hit the little master like a mad cow and fell into the lake." Qingfeng carefully helped Qiu Tian dry her hair, "Fortunately, you are fine, little master, otherwise you ......"
"Miss will be fine." Angelica changed into clean clothes and entered the kitchen of the inner court, and the embroidery girl shouted, "Angelica, you also come to drink a bowl of ginger soup." ”
"It's also strange to say, the little Liu Zi, who loves face and is greedy for merit, suddenly became obsessed and went crazy...... "Xiuniang was puzzled.
"He's not suddenly mad!" Qiu Tian took a sip of hot soup and said calmly, but she didn't want to be startled, "Qiu Tian, do you mean that Xiao Liuzi did it on purpose?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, now the person behind Xiao Liuzi is coming." As soon as she finished speaking, a slender and unpleasant male duck voice sounded outside the kitchen, "That girl named Qiu Tian, get out of our house!" ”
"Why does this sound so familiar?" Qiu Tian frowned, and quickly recalled the source of the voice in his mind, but Qingfeng snorted coldly with an unhappy face, "Why did this old thing Liu Quan suddenly appear here?" ”
"You don't know the identity of Xiao Liuzi?" Xiuniang's face was full of consternation, but she still explained: "This little Liu Zi can be powerful in the inner court, all relying on his identity as Liu Quan's nephew in the miscellaneous office. ”
"It turns out that there is still this layer of identity, no wonder this kid can run around in the inner court." Qingfeng suddenly realized, but also muttered to himself, "No wonder sometimes you can be in the handyman's office, in the kitchen, in the tool room...... These saw him. ”
"Don't get out of our house yet-" Liu Quanquan was angry, and walked directly into the kitchen of the inner court, and happened to see the embroidery girl who went out to greet him at this moment.
"Ouch! What kind of wind is blowing today, so that Father-in-law Liu can come to my small kitchen. ”
Liu Quan glanced at the embroidery girl coldly, and snorted coldly for a lifetime, "Hmph! ”
"It's her-" Xiao Liu Zi complained to Liu Quan with a sad face, "It made me lose face and made me break the winter lotus root the size of my arm." ”
Liu Quan glanced at Qiu Tian from a distance not far away, but he didn't recognize her as the person who came to her today to ask for food, and snorted coldly, "You are so bold that you broke the winter lotus root that is about to be used to make lotus root into food." ”
"Father-in-law Liu, it wasn't us who broke it, it was Xiao Liuzi who couldn't hold it steadily." When the embroidered lady thought of the scene where the winter lotus root was broken, she was heartbroken and glared at Xiao Liuzi angrily.
Xiao Liu Zi was so frightened that he shrank back to Liu's body, and sneaked out like a turtle to peep, his appearance was extremely funny, which made Qiu Tian, who was looking at him, laugh loudly, "Haha! ”
The stalemate was instantly broken by Qiu Tian's crisp laughter, and suddenly Liu Quan glared angrily at the direction where Qiu Tian was, "She caused Xiao Liu Zi to break the winter lotus!" ”
"Hey! Don't blame our lady. Angelica, who had been holding back his anger, saw that Xiao Liuzi and Liu Quanqi were not fighting together, and an arrow stepped in front of Qiu Tian, "If Xiao Liuzi hadn't snatched it, but given it to our miss, would the winter lotus root be broken?" If Xiao Liuzi hadn't held it steady, would the winter lotus root have broken? If Xiao Liuzi hadn't suddenly gone crazy, would Miss have fallen into the lake? ”
Liu Quan frowned and glanced back at Xiao Liuzi, who was at home, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, "Why is it different from you?" ”
"Didn't you say that they fought in the mud and broke the winter lotus? Didn't you say that you rushed back to pass me on and almost fell into the lake? ”
"How dare you lie to me?" Liu Quan was furious, and slapped Xiao Liu Zi violently, "In the past, you used my reputation to be powerful in the inner court, but now you have the audacity to use me as a gunman?" ”
"Uncle! It's not my fault! Uncle, listen to me! ”
Xiao Liu Zi suddenly knelt on the ground and hugged Liu Quan, crying hoarsely, "Uncle, it's not like what they say!" It was they who scared me, and I slipped and broke the winter lotus. They were afraid that I would pass on the facts to you, so they desperately intercepted me and forced me to the lake. ”
"Uncle! Believe me! Xiao Liu Zi wiped his tears and snot on Liu Quan's trouser legs, "Uncle! I am your relative, and I will not harm you. ”
The embroidery lady who was watching sneered, "Hehe! ”
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Liu Zi was weak and roared at Xiuniang, but Xiuniang was not afraid of this at all, but said in a weird way: "You said we scared you, then I scared you." Who called your uncle Liu's father-in-law? This black pot is carried on our back in the inner courtyard kitchen. ”
Liu Quan frowned as he listened to the conversation between the two parties, and pointed casually in order to divert his attention.
happened to point to Qiu Tian, who had just tied his braids, "Tell me, the truth of the matter?" ”
Qiu Tian slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Quan thoughtfully, "Father-in-law Liu, do you really want to listen to me?" ”
"You say!"
"I'm afraid that if I say it, Grandpa Liu's head is about to move!" Qiu Tian smiled lightly, it didn't seem to be talking about life and death, but a mediocre thing, but it was faintly frightening.
Liu Quan finally recognized Qiu Tian, he pinched the orchid and pointed at her, "It's you!" ”
"It's me, Grandpa Liu!" Qiu Tian smiled sweetly at Liu Quan, and Xiao Liu Zi shouted angrily, "When you see my uncle, don't you hurry up and salute and knock." ”
"Bold! Where can you collide with the nobles? Liu Quan suddenly pushed away Xiao Liuzi, who was holding his thigh, and smiled at Qiu Tian, "Miss Qiu, are you okay?" ”
Qiu Tian frowned lightly, looked at Liu Quan, who already knew her identity, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Do you know who I am?!" ”
Liu Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and recalled in his mind that after Qiu Tian left, three waves of people came to his miscellaneous office: first of all, the queen's faction led by Mama Qiu; followed by the two princesses; In the end, there was even Fuquan next to the emperor who deliberately ran away, and told Liu Quan to take good care of Qiu Tian, if Qiu Tian was hurt by a point or a hair less, he was the only one who asked.
Now Qiu Tian is not punished when he arrives at the miscellaneous office, but to enjoy happiness.
"How's it going?!" When Angelica heard Liu Quan's words, he sneered and smiled, "Father-in-law Liu, since you know the identity of my young lady, do you know that my young lady almost died in the lake?" ”
"Huh?!" When Liu An heard this, her feet were suddenly frightened, and she fell to the ground, and Xiao Liu Zi quickly helped her up, "Uncle, be careful!" ”
"What's going on?" Liu Quan asked with a hint of panic, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Humph! And the face asked? Angelica looked at Liu Quan pretending to be stupid in front of him, "Father-in-law Liu, you are really capable!" Now embarrassed to shout in front of us to catch a thief? ”
"If it weren't for the great fortune of our young lady, we would be a cold corpse now." The more Angelica spoke, the more angry he became, and he hurriedly rushed to Liu Quan, raised his leg and kicked Xiao Liuzi.
Suddenly, Liu Quan was dragged by Xiao Liu Zi and threw one meter away.
"Uncle, listen to me, it's not like this." Xiao Liu Zi hurriedly helped Liu Quan up, "The situation was chaotic at that time, and I accidentally bumped into this girl, no...... This one...... Not ......"
Xiao Liu Zi never expected that the job he took by chance would offend the big man, he was remorseful and slapped himself, "I accidentally bumped into the nobleman!" I didn't mean to......"
"Good one, not on purpose!" Qiu Tian smiled coldly, clapping his hands and saying, "If I hadn't stabilized my body in time, I would have been knocked into the lake by you and drowned." She slowly squatted in front of Xiao Liuzi, and Angelica shouted worriedly, "Miss!" Cannot! ”
