The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 984 Dividing the Two Sides

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Meng Shisan, the water snake turned to Huang Jing.

Huang Jing shrugged: "Yaoyao is right. If you could find it, Yaoyao wouldn't be standing here right now."

Upon hearing this, the water snake's beady green eyes immediately widened.

Seeing this, Huang Jing said, "I'll go down too, I'll absolutely guarantee Yao Yao's safety."

"I'm more suitable than you to protect our senior underwater!" Before the water snake could finish speaking, a splash was heard as it entered the water.

It turned around and saw a splash of water on the river surface, and Meng Shisan's figure disappearing into the water: "Senior, wait for me!"

Baozhu was still in the carriage of the Meng family's large carriage, preparing to take out the gold and silver pastries and the fragrant tea given to her by Shangchun, when she suddenly heard the sound of water outside the carriage. She quickly lifted the curtain and looked out.

This sight startled her: "Miss!"

The moment she called out "Miss," the water snake also jumped into the water with a thud.

She ran to the shore, anxiously wanting to call out again, when she heard Huang Jing calmly reassuring her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Yaoyao can swim, and she's an excellent swimmer."

“Miss can swim, and she’s quite good at it, but she learned that later. She’s only been in the water a few times, and besides, she’s weak and can’t swim for long!” Baozhu was anxious, and she had her reasons. “No, I’m going in too…”

She pretended to jump, but Huang Jing grabbed her arm: "Miss Huang?"

"With Xiaoqing here, nothing will happen. Even if Xiaoqing is unusable, there's still me. You don't need to go down. If there's anything wrong, I'll go into the water." Huang Jing said confidently, secretly thinking that Baozhu was unaware that the water snake was actually a demon, nor that Meng Shisan actually carried demonic energy. It was normal for her to be so worried, but knowing that she couldn't let Baozhu, who was just a mortal, go into the water.

Otherwise, if something really happens, she'll have to save another precious pearl, which would be just creating trouble out of nothing.

Baozhu listened in a daze: "Xiaoqing? Xiaoqing is just a snake. Besides searching for things underwater, what use is it?"

"You must not let Xiaoqing hear this, or she will be unhappy." Huang Jing did not offer any further explanation.

“If you’re unhappy, then you’re unhappy. Xiaoqing and Xiaoyin are both quite temperamental,” Baozhu muttered.

Huang Jing agreed: "It's not just those two; everything Yao Yao raises has a strong temper."

Baozhu smiled, then asked again with concern, "Miss, are you sure you'll be alright?"

"Don't worry," Huang Jing said, offering the same reassuring words. She couldn't say anything else.

Bai Zhuo, who was hiding not far away with four others and witnessed this scene, couldn't help but stand up. At this moment, he no longer cared about whether he was exposed or not.

He rushed to the riverbank.

Four palace guards, a beat slower, also rushed out of the bushes and ran to the riverbank.

"Miss Meng!" Bai Zhuo's handsome face crumpled up, and after shouting, he tried to jump down.

Huang Jing reacted quickly, grabbing Bai Zhuo by the back of his collar: "Wait!"

"Please let go, Master Huang!" Bai Zhuo turned around and saw that it was Huang Jing. He was not in a good mood to get angry. "I am under His Highness's orders to protect Miss Meng!"

“Yaoyao just went for a swim, it’s not like she’s in any danger.” Huang Jing grabbed Bai Zhuo by the back of his collar and pulled him back, dragging him away from the shore. “Besides, didn’t you see me here? If Yaoyao were really in danger, would I just sit idly by? Look, Baozhu is here too.”

Bai Zhuo turned his head to the side and glanced at Baozhu out of the corner of his eye.

Baozhu was also startled by the sudden appearance of Bai Zhuo and four Eastern Palace guards. For a moment, she thought something major had happened, but after a while, she realized that Bai Zhuo was just like her, worried about her young lady.

Her heart sank: His Highness truly cares for Miss; wherever Miss goes, His Highness's men follow. Lu Luo, who was hiding in a distance in another direction, saw this and silently retracted his foot that had already stepped out.

Nai She, watching from the side, said, "Young master, shall we go back?"

Having finally managed to pinpoint the exact location of Miss Meng's departure, the young master eagerly followed her to Kuang Guanghe, hoping to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation with her. However, given the current situation, his hopes were dashed.

Lu Luo lowered her eyes, feeling a pang of sadness: "She hasn't come up yet..."

“Miss Meng has so many people guarding her, and Miss Meng can swim.” Nai She knew that his young master would not leave easily. He was reluctant to part with her and worried about Miss Meng who was still in the river. He held back and tried to persuade her, “Young master, it was not very possible for you and Miss Meng before, but now it is even more impossible for you and Miss Meng... Please let go.”

Now that the Second Prince has died in an accident, struck by falling roof beams and tiles, and the Empress has been confined to the inner palace by His Majesty to reflect on her mistakes, the Lu family is no longer what it used to be.

What was impossible before is now even more impossible.

Naishe could understand the principles and know the facts, so how could Lu Luo not know them? He gave a bitter smile: "The reason why the moonlight is so alluring is because the moonlight is both gentle and cold."

She was full of thorns, but he was still fond of her.

There was no possibility between him and her, but he still wanted to gamble on a small hope.

Bai Zhuo was stopped, and the four people who followed him to the riverbank were also unable to go into the water.

The five of them stared at Huang Jing expectantly.

Huang Jing, annoyed by the stares, waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, alright, your Highness is here again?"

“No,” Bai Zhuoshi said.

Baozhu looked around, startling Lu Luo and his servant, who quickly covered themselves behind the wall at the corner, even holding their breath.

"You really didn't come?" Baozhu asked again.

Bai Zhuo said, "His Highness's desk is piled high with memorials, he doesn't have time to come, otherwise..."

Huang Jing and Baozhu stared at him.

He continued, "...I'll definitely come."

"Take your men back to where you were and continue guarding." Since it was the Crown Prince's order, Huang Jing couldn't very well tell Bai Zhuo and the others to leave, so she simply told them to go back to their original hiding places and not to linger in front of her.

"Keep watch over him!" Baozhu thought differently from Huang Jing. With Bai Zhuo nearby to keep watch, she would feel more at ease.

Bai Zhuo hesitated at Huang Jing's words, but he immediately understood Bao Zhu's words. He then agreed and led four Eastern Palace guards back behind the tree to keep watch and be ready to provide support at any time.

Seeing this, Naishe wanted to persuade his young master again, but when he turned around and saw Lu Luo's gloomy face, he couldn't bear to make things worse, so he gave up.

Hearing Naishe's loud sigh from the side, Lu Luo raised his hand and punched Naishe: "What do you know if you don't even have someone you admire!"

“Yes, I don’t understand,” Naishe muttered quietly. “You do understand.”

Lu Luo turned and left.

Naishe caught up: "Young Master, have you come to your senses?"

"Let's go to the other side," Lu Luo said, suggesting that splitting the forces on both sides would be more prudent.

Naishe thought his young master was hopeless.
