At the moment when Cui Pu jumped off the Slender West Lake, a small boat galloped in the night and scooped people up. Then the boat turned around and sped away towards the big boat in front of them.

Princess Tang Chang and Wu Lixin looked at the boat that was drifting away, and their faces became very ugly.

Among them, Wu Lixin was very anxious.

"Princess, what should I do? Cui Liu, he actually said ...... just now."

"If you want to get rid of suspicion, you can also learn from him to jump down! If you jump down, you will prove your innocence, do you still need me to teach you?" Princess Tang Chang said coldly, and then turned back to the cabin.

Wu Lixin was suddenly unable to advance or retreat.

Jump, such a deep and cold lake, will it drown him? Don't jump, now the people on the Slender West Lake should have heard Cui Pu's shout just now, right? Will they really think that he has a leg with Princess Tangchang?

He hesitated for a long time, and his legs went back and forth on the side of the boat for a long time, and finally slowly retreated into the cabin: "Princess, can you ask the boatman to take me back?"

"I'll send you back, aren't you afraid that your colleagues will see this, really when you and I are together?" Princess Tang Chang said coolly.

"This ...... I'm not afraid of shadows, and sooner or later they'll know that you, the princess, and I are innocent. ”

"But I can't bear to be dragged into the same place as you. You'd better jump into the lake, so I can breathe a sigh of relief. Princess Tang Chang said, "If you don't dare to jump yourself, I'll ask someone to help you." ”

Wu Lixin's body suddenly became half cold. "Princess, we are also allies, do you want to be so cruel to your allies?"

"If you can help me do what I want, we are allies. But now, everyone else has run away, do you think this alliance is still established?" Princess Tang Chang smiled coldly, "Besides, he can jump off the boat without hesitation in order to save his reputation, why can't you? Are you still nobler than him?"

Isn't he more noble than that concubine? He is the son of the martial family, and he will assist King Shou in the future! Wu Lixin wanted to shout like this. It's just that now that the crown prince is still in power, he doesn't dare to rashly say such words.

Princess Tang Chang didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, so she waved her hand and said, "Come on, you go and help Wu Erlangjun." ”

The big and small guy who had been thrown away before appeared again, and he couldn't help but drag Wu Lixin out.

Wu Lixin's heart was full of awe--she really wanted to throw him into the lake!

"Princess, you'd better let them let me go, or you'll regret it!

Regardless of whether Princess Tang Chang will regret it in the future, anyway, he already regrets it now.

It's just that the emotion of regret only went around in his mind for a while, and it was immediately replaced by endless fear.

The icy waters of the lake came from all directions and soon surrounded him. His clothes were no longer covered, and the chill in the water soaked through his clothes, rushing directly into his limbs, freezing so cold that he almost wanted to shrink into a ball.

"Help—" He opened his mouth to scream, but the lake immediately poured water into his mouth. He accidentally took several sips.

Struggling like this, his body sank deeper and deeper, and countless horrors permeated his whole body, shouldn't he die here today?

He thought in fear, and quickly struggled again.

After what seemed like a lifetime, another oar came to him, and someone yelled at him, "Catch me!"

He immediately clasped the oars tightly with both hands. The men slowly dragged him back, and with great ease he was dragged onto the boat, and he lay flat on the board, still clinging to the oars with both hands.

The boatman told him to let go, and after shouting a few times to no avail, he took a new oar and used it.

Wu Lixin gradually came back to his senses, and only then did he get up with the oars, and saw that he was riding a tattered boat, slowly moving forward on the wide lake. The painting boat of Princess Tangchang in the back has gone away, and the painting boat in front of the county magistrates is still far ahead.

At this time, a gust of evening wind blew, and the bone-eroding chill invaded every crevice of the body again. He shuddered several times before he stumbled and said, "You send me back quickly! It's the largest painting boat in front of you, and there are many beautiful women painted on the hull of the boat!"

"Alright, let's go!" the boatman immediately shook the oars quickly.

Although the boat is small, it is light and convenient. It didn't take long for this small boat to reach the vicinity of the big painting boat. Wu Lixin saw that his own people were right in front of him, and hurriedly urged the boatman again: "Tell the people on the boat to put the ladder down to pick me up!"

"It's okay to call someone, but please pay the money to save you first. The boatman immediately stretched out his big rough hand to him, "Twenty times in total, not a penny less." ”

"Twenty runs, you're robbing money!" Wu Lixin scolded.

The boatman touched his nose: "Our family has been boating on the Slender West Lake for generations to save people, saving one person during the day and saving one Wuguan at night." You must have offended the nobles by being thrown down from such a large painting boat, right? You see, no one else dared to save you, so I had the courage to fish you out of the water, and you had to give me some money to crush you? Moreover, you also took one of my oars, and now you let me call you someone or something, don't you charge for your hard work? If I have this time, I can save several more people. Twenty dollars from you is not too much. ”

Wu Lixin realized that he was holding a broken oar before he planted, and hurriedly threw the thing away in disgust. "This oar is back to you!"

"But twenty is no less. Lang Jun, you either give you money, or I will take you back to the original place and throw it down, you can find a way to go back yourself. The boatman said disappreciatively, and hit the water with his oars a few times.

The hull of the boat shook violently a few times, and Wu Lixin's body also swayed from side to side. Looking at the cold lake around him, his eyes went dark, and his stomach was tumbling with acid - no, he was seasick again!

"Twenty times, I'll give it to you when I get up!" he compromised.

"No, give it now. Give it to me and send you up. ”

"You...... Give it now, give it now!"

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Wu Lixin had no choice but to call his servant and throw twenty gold leaves down, so that he could finally exchange for his personal freedom.

Hmph, now let him get on the boat. He must have someone come and capture this bastard alive, and strip him of his skin and bones, so that his life would be worse than death! Unfortunately, when he came back a few days later, he was told that the boatman was long gone!

Let's talk about it now. When he easily climbed onto the boat and entered the cabin, he saw that everyone was surrounding Cui Pu, shushing the cold and asking if he was eager. And he, the man who had just picked up a life from the lake and was still soaking wet and shivering, had no one to take care of him!

Such a huge difference in treatment made his heart chill a little.

He coughed heavily.

Only then did someone hear the voice and turn around. But when they found out that it was him, a trace of disgust appeared in their eyes, and they immediately turned away. Only Wei Wu hurriedly ran over: "Wu Xianzun, why did you fall into the water?" It's really unfortunate, Cui Xianzun has already used up the hot water that has been boiled, but there is still a set of dry clothes in the cabin, why don't you change your clothes first! ”

Let's be warm for a while! Wu Lixin nodded without hesitation.

Just before he could raise his feet, Cui Pu yelled: "Wei Wu!"

"Cui Xianzun!" Wei Wu hurriedly ran over.

I saw Cui Pu staggering to his feet, his pale face full of anger: "Call the boat to dock! I want to get off the boat, and I will never be under the same roof with such shameless people in the future!"

"Yes, yes, this is called the boatman to dock, Cui Xianzun, don't be impatient, watch your body. Wei Wu hurriedly comforted softly, and then turned around and quietly glanced at Wu Lixin.

What does this mean? Does he have to go down to change his clothes secretly? Wu Lixin was not happy.

It's just that Wei Wu is still the person arranged by the Wei family for Cui Pu! It's already very good that people can still think of helping him change his clothes at this time. If he does it again, Cui Pu will definitely be able to let him get off the boat directly!

So, he still got out of the cabin in a state of resignation, hid in the lower hull and took off his wet clothes, and changed into a dry coarse cloth short. Although it is a coarse cloth, it is warm in the sun during the day, and when you wear it, you will feel a burst of warmth on your body, and you will expel a lot of cold air all over your body. Now that he feels much more comfortable, he is not in the mood to dislike it for the time being.

Soon the ship docked, and Cui Pu immediately walked down with a trembling rope. Then he climbed into the carriage to Wei's house, and he didn't even say goodbye to the big guy.

The other county magistrates also understood his current mood very well, and rushed up to appease him and told him to be careful on the road.

And when Wu Lixin changed his clothes and walked out, the big guy's collective face changed again. Although there was no obvious disdain, everyone looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Lixin suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Listen to my explanation, Princess Tangchang and I-"

"Wu Xianzun, it's getting late now, and you have a cold again, so hurry back and drink a bowl of ginger soup to rest and rest, don't worry about other things. It's time for us to go back to the inn and rest. If there's anything, let's talk about it next time. A square-faced county commander immediately interrupted him, and then he gave his hand, "The county is tired, go back to the post house first." ”

With him taking the lead, others also excused themselves to leave.

Wu Lixin stood alone in place, his face blue with anger.

"Lang Jun, shall we go back now?" asked the little guy cautiously.

Wu Lixin slapped him in the face with a backhand. "Of course I'm back! If I don't, do you want me to freeze to death here? Or do you think this coarse cloth garment is not enough to disgrace me?"

It's really unlucky today! I knew that so many things would happen here one after another, and he would never come back!

It's all to blame on the hateful Cui Pu! He provoked all this!

In the Wei Mansion over there, because Mu Yiyi had a speculative chat with the Mu Jiaojiao sisters, she drove her husband directly to the study to sleep, and the sisters slept in the same bed and continued their private night talk.

As she spoke, Mu Jiaojiao was so sleepy that she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, but she heard three knocks on the door panel, and the eldest sister Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly got up and went out, and heard the anxious voice of her brother-in-law Wei Zhuang: "Call the sixth sister up, the sixth brother-in-law is sick!"

As soon as Mu Jiaojiao heard that it was about Cui Pu, she quickly turned over and got up.

Walking outside, she happened to see Cui Pu being carried in. A person who was still alive during the day is now red, but his body is constantly trembling.

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao coming out, Wei Zhuang hurriedly said: "The sixth brother-in-law just fell into the Slender West Lake, and although he was picked up in time, he still started to have a fever. Sixth brother and sister, show him quickly!"

Mu Jiaojiao stepped forward and happened to meet Cui Pu's eyes. Cui Pu blinked, and squeezed out a smile at her with difficulty: "Lady, I'm back." ”

Mu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and suddenly opened his sleeve, and suddenly saw a two-inch-long wound appear in front of him.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang and Mu Yi couldn't help but gasp.

The edge of this wound is sharp, and at first glance it looks like a sharp object scratch. Now there is no bleeding, only faint blood oozing. The skin and flesh on both sides have been soaked in water, and the skin and flesh are slightly rolled away on both sides, which looks very scary.

Mu Jiaojiao's eyes darkened: "Red beans." ”

"Lady!" Hongdou hurriedly hugged a small box.

"Yunnan Baiyao is dissolved with warm water, and Angong Niuhuang Pill is also dissolved with warm water. Mu Jiaojiao said, turning to Wei Zhuang's side, "Brother-in-law, is there still a pharmacy open now? I want a lot of mugwort leaves." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll call someone to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine!" Wei Zhuang nodded hurriedly, turned around and went out.

Soon, Yunnan Baiyao and Angong Niuhuang Pill both melted, and Mu Jiaojiao fed them to Cui Pu one by one. Immediately, Ai Ye also sent it over, and Mu Jiaojiao said: "Then go down and fry the soup, it must be thick." ”

Mu Yiyi hurriedly went down to order people to do things.

When the thick juice boiled by mugwort leaves was delivered, Mu Jiaojiao and you did not fake the hands of others, so they dipped it in a handkerchief and carefully wiped Cui Pu's whole body. Over and over again.

After almost an hour of this, the high heat in his body dissipated, and his body did not tremble much. Maybe it was because he was tossed too much, as early as halfway through, Cui Pu was extremely tired and fell asleep.

Mu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wounds on his arms and lips, and closed his eyes again: "Red beans, cut a small piece of Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang again." ”

When the two wounds were cleaned up for him, Mu Yiyi and Wei Zhuang came in again: "Sister, how is his brother-in-law?"

"It's okay. Get some sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow morning. Mu Jiaojiao said, and suddenly looked back at Wei Zhuang, "Brother-in-law, did Princess Tangchang find him just now?"
