Chapter 364 The cold tyrant & the scheming concubine 8
Plop——
Huge water splashed up, and the concubines and maids standing by the lotus pond were shocked. Lu Ru and others It’s even more unbelievable. He was still talking just now, but in the blink of an eye he fell down?
“Empress!”
Lu Ru shouted, “Someone come and help me.” She looked at Concubine Hui, “If something happens to my concubine, Concubine Hui, you will be the chief culprit. The culprit.”
Concubine Hui opened her mouth: "I, I'm not, I didn't push her." But at this time, even Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen looked distrustful of her, saying that they were just arguing, how could they push someone into the water.
It's autumn now, and if you catch a cold, it can be fatal. Every sentence of accusation.
Concubine Hui lowered her face and gritted her teeth, okay, this damn Lin Xiruo, just now she was still hesitating whether she was bullied by the emperor every day, so that she finally repented and did good with all her heart, but in the end she actually used evil tricks , she actually fell in front of everyone, causing people to misunderstand her.
The woman in the lake struggled and called for help, but there were only palace maids and concubines around, none of them knew how to swim. Moreover, the water was so cold now that no one dared to go down.
Lu Ru could only ask the palace people to find a woman who knew how to water or an eunuch to come and save her.
Seeing Lin Zhi's voice getting weaker and weaker, her body was among the broken lotus leaves and branches, the water gradually submerged above her head, and her whole body sank into the water.
"Your Majesty, do we want to go there?" The chief eunuch asked cautiously when he saw the emperor staring over there.
Xiao Yuan said nothing and walked over directly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what happened?"
Everyone soon heard the voice of the eunuch chief, turned around and saw the emperor standing not far away, their faces all turned pale and they knelt down Next, Concubine Hui, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Chen also knelt down to pay their respects. Lu Ru quickly said: "Your Majesty, my wife fell into the water."
Xiao Yuan raised his lips: "Then you are watching here, waiting for her to die?"
Lu Ru looked at a loss: "No one knows how to swim here."
Xiao Yuan'ha ' After making a sound, the chief eunuch quickly said to the two eunuchs. : "You go." The two eunuchs jumped into the water without any hesitation, but one of them couldn't swim at all, and the other couldn't find anyone for a long time. As expected, the chief eunuch saw His Majesty's face darkening, and secretly scolded them for even doing this. Nothing is done well.
Xiao Yuan stared at the lake where the hem of pink clothes had completely disappeared, his eyes were heavy and he didn’t know what he was thinking about. Just when the head eunuch was about to speak, he saw him suddenly taking off his cloak and throwing it on the ground. Walk over.
There was a moment of astonishment, and they ran to the railing calling "Your Majesty". Everyone saw the emperor diving into the water and disappearing.
Lin Zhi was not sure whether the emperor would save her. According to his sinister nature, maybe he would be happier if she drowned him. However, she thought of the way his mother-in-law died, also in pink clothes, on such an autumn day, and every day he Haunted by that dream.
That’s why I took a gamble.
Of course, she secretly calculated the time for her mother-in-law to come over. If the emperor did not save her, she would be rescued before she could breathe her last breath when the people Lu Ru called came.
However, being submerged in the lake was not pleasant. I fell completely into the water. I was further and further away in the water. Water poured into my mouth and nose from all directions, and the suffocation feeling became more and more serious.
Just as her consciousness gradually dimmed, a figure jumped into the water and swam toward her.
The man gradually approached, and his cold features became clear, occupying her field of vision. Lin Zhi said: "Your Majesty." She stretched out her arms towards him, and then she was suddenly wrapped around his waist, turned around and swam up to the water.
The two of them broke out of the water.
At this time, many people had come to the shore. The mother-in-law and the eunuch jumped into the water to catch him, but Lin Zhi hugged him too tightly and could only wait for him to swim to the shore before pulling him ashore. "Your Majesty!" The eunuch in charge hurried over and put his cloak on him.
Lu Ru and others were about to take Lin Zhi over, but found that they could not pull Lin Zhi away at all, and did not dare to use strong force. They could only look at His Majesty. Xiao Yuan lowered his head and held the knot. The hand on the waist was pulled away and thrown onto them, and several people hurriedly caught it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" she called anxiously.
Ling Zhi opened her eyes with difficulty, but what she saw was Xiao Yuan, with a weak voice: "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yuan glanced at her, with water dripping from his face, and his sharp eyebrows He looked even more fierce at this moment, looking at her coldly. Lin Zhi's clothes were already soaked, and his face became paler due to being soaked in water. His chest was heaving and he was panting, and he was almost fainting.
He glanced at Concubine Hui who was standing aside.
Concubine Hui was already on the verge of collapse at this moment. When he swept her away, her knees softened and she knelt down, trembling: "Your Majesty, I didn't push her, she jumped down by herself!" Thinking of the emperor's past actions. He hated this bitch Lin Xiruo even more.
The chief eunuch sneered: "Hui Fei, our family has just heard that you pushed Yi Fei down, and now you dare to lie to Your Majesty."
"I didn't!" She was anxious. Look at the others.
But at that time, she and Lin Zhi were standing closest, and everyone else behind her was blocking their view. Lu Ru and others were not close to Lin Zhi and were only a few steps away, so they all thought it was her who pushed him.
My mind was so angry that I could only say over and over again: "It's not me, it's this bitch. She has no good intentions and deliberately plots against me."
"Your Majesty." Lin Zhi spoke in a weak voice. : "Sister Huifei is right, I jumped myself, I don't blame her."
Concubine Hui immediately said: "Look, she admitted it herself!"
Others looked at her with more and more disapproval at this moment. Concubine Chen couldn't help but said: "Concubine Hui, in the past, you were easygoing and friendly. The concubine has a quarrel, and now we have seen with our own eyes that you pushed her, and it is useless to argue."
Concubine Hui simply wants to. Furious: "You have all been deceived by her. She planned all this. She just..."
"That's enough."
Xiao Yuan felt that his head hurt again at this moment. He stood up and said, "I don't care if you are scheming or not. Next time you want to die, die in a place where no one is around." Glancing at Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi lowered his head silently.
"As for you, since you are so free every day, write Buddhist scriptures ten times a day from now on and hand them in before the end of the month. If I find out, ask the palace staff to help, haha." He sneered twice and turned around. The manager hurriedly led the others to follow. superior.
Concubine Hui and others were shocked. They copied the Buddhist scriptures ten times? There are also Concubines Zhuang and Concubine Chen. They just happened to come here to sit around and didn't do anything. Why should they be punished?
Lv Ru supported Lin Zhi: "Mother, are you okay? We will help you go back."
Ling Zhi nodded and was helped up by them to go back. Concubine Hui quickly stopped her, "You have plotted against me. , you just want to leave like this?” His face was full of anger, "I didn't expect that you would actually use your majesty to plot against me!"
Ling Zhi stopped talking and looked at her, lowering his head: "Sister Hui Fei, whatever she says, it's whatever she says. Lu Ru, let's go. ." Without any rebuttal, he just left.
She deliberately plotted against Concubine Hui. In the plot, the original owner was often bullied by her. Once while walking with the original owner, she deliberately broke the bracelet in her hand, but the original owner accidentally stepped on it and fell.
In the end, Concubine Hui asked her to compensate for the bracelet. Today, she will teach her a small lesson. Whatever she does to the original owner in the future, she will return it one by one.
Behind her, Concubine Hui screamed angrily: "Lin Xiruo, I'm not done with you!"
She curled her lips.
