Jiaochu

Chapter 193 Marriage Talisman ([-])
When the two of them came out of Changle Palace, it was already completely dark. Ye Xingye glanced at the dark scenes on both sides, and after walking a few steps, he ran back to his palace in a hurry, followed by Xiaoluzi holding a lantern. Even if you chase, you can't catch up.

Ganquan Palace was so close that in less than half a cup of tea, a figure rushed into the palace door. After a few seconds, the palace in the courtyard realized that the black figure that swooped into the room just now was his Royal Highness. , and after a while, Xiao Luzi hurried back with a shaking lantern, took a breath before ordering people to close the palace door.

On the other side, Xiao Quanzi sent Ye Lingxi back with a lantern. Weiyang Palace was far away. When he was approaching the koi pond, a strange cat meow suddenly sounded. The sound was particularly shrill and shrill, making people's scalp numb. A black shadow swooped over, frightening the lantern in Xiao Quanzi's hand to sway a few times. Hehe and Lingdang were also frightened. While everyone was distracted, a hand quietly came out of the water. Touched it.

With a splash, someone fell into the water.

"Princess? Where is the princess? Oh no! The princess fell into the water!" "Go and call someone!"...

There was another splash, and Xiao Quanzi jumped into the water to save people. There were two more splashes, and the two young eunuchs also jumped into the water. He He anxiously held a lantern on the shore to illuminate the people in the water, and the bell rang. He ran quickly to call someone.

Surrounded by cold water, it was pitch black, with tiny bits of light flashing above her head, hazy and illusory. Ye Lingxi could feel the hand grabbing her ankle, dragging her to the bottom of the water. Her consciousness It was like she was gradually sinking into the cold water, and a blurry picture flashed in her mind, like a revolving lantern that a person sees before death.

With a splash, another person jumped into the water. He quickly dived into the water, accurately grasped the hand that was struggling upward, and brought the person up.

The black shadow under the water swam away quietly.

With a "wow" sound, Ye Lingxi spit out a large amount of water. The weight on his chest was finally relieved a lot, and his breathing gradually became smoother.

Hehe and Lingdang were so frightened that they cried, and their eyes were as red as rabbits. When Ye Lingxi opened her watery eyes, they both wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha on the spot.

Ye Lingxi raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at the rippling water, "There... there are people in the water... don't... let people run away..."

"Eunuch-in-law, go over there, you two follow me."

Xiao Quanzi led two young eunuchs to outflank them from the left, and Xiao Anzi led two young eunuchs to outflank them from the right. When the two met at the other end of the pool, no suspicious people were found ashore.

When the group returned, the patrolling guards also arrived.

About half an hour later, Ye Lingxi was escorted back to Weiyang Palace.

Then Ye Lanchen and Eunuch De rushed over from the imperial study room first, and then Concubine Xiao also came, and then the Queen also came, and then Concubine Rong and Concubine Liu came over, and then Ye Qingran, Ye Lingjue and Ye Xingye came together, and finally Commander Wu also came.

There was a crowd of people standing in the room.

After examining Ye Lingxi's pulse, Imperial Physician Han prescribed a prescription to soothe her nerves and nourish her energy. He said that the princess was frightened and needed to rest for a few days. Ye Lanchen asked Concubine Lan to stay inside to take care of her, and led Wu Yangyang's group People arrived outside.

"It's so good, why did you fall into the water?" Concubine Xiao looked worried and changed the topic again, "It's so late, why is Lingxi still going to the koi pond?"

Ye Qingran held up her hands to plead guilty and said, "The third sister came back from my son. I didn't take care of her properly."

Ye Xingye said: "It was Erchen and Lingxi who went to the emperor's place together. Erchen should have sent Lingxi back, but it was Erchen who didn't look after him well." Ye Lingjue said: "It was Erchen who took the third brother and Lingxi back. Those who left the palace, it was already late when they came back, they were just having fun and should have come back earlier."

Ye Xingye said: "It's me who's playful, it's me who insists on seeing that peach blossom lady,"

"Your Majesty, it's all my concubines who have improperly disciplined me," Concubine Rong said in apology.

The queen asked Aunt Qiu beside her to help Concubine Rong up, and said in a gentle tone: "The important thing is that everyone is fine."

Ye Lanchen nodded and asked Commander Wu about the investigation.

Commander Wu reported that the man fell into the water during the shift of the guards, so the patrolling guards failed to detect it in time. At this point, Commander Wu hesitated for a moment and did not continue.After Commander Wu finished his report, Ye Lanchen asked Xiao Anzi, "Did you rescue the princess?"

Xiao Anzi lowered his head and replied: "My slave is somewhat aquatic. When I dived underwater, I seemed to see a black shadow swimming away. I thought it was the koi carp raised in the water, so I didn't pay much attention to it. The princess woke up. Later, it was said that there was someone in the water, so my servant and my father-in-law searched around for a while, but no one was found, so they should have run away long ago."

Then Xiao Quanzi reported: "It was getting dark at that time, and His Highness asked the servant to take the princess back. When they were approaching the koi pond, a cat jumped out of nowhere, startling the servant and others. The cat looked like She screamed like she was crazy, screaming fiercely, and pounced on people. Then the slave and others heard a splash, and then heard Miss Hehe and Miss Lingdang saying that the princess had fallen into the water. The slave and the two little eunuchs immediately jumped into the water. Rescue people, and then Eunuch An also jumped down. Eunuch An was good at water and quickly rescued the princess. When the princess woke up, she said there was someone in the water, so the servant and Eunuch An went around separately to search, but no one was found. It should be He ran away."

"Cat?" Ye Lanchen frowned, "Does anyone in the palace keep a cat?"

Eunuch De replied: "Your Majesty Yu has a Persian cat."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Guiren hurried over. As soon as she entered the door, the noble lady knelt on the ground and cried out, saying that her Persian cat was stolen last night. She didn't see any trace of the cat all day today. She was definitely Someone wanted to frame her and put the blame on her.

"Sister, stop crying. The princess will feel better. Sister, don't scare the princess anymore." Concubine Xiao glanced at Yu Guiren, who was crying with tears in his eyes, with a trace of disdain in her eyes.

The queen asked the three princes Ye Qingran, Ye Lingjue and Ye Xingye to go back first, and the three of them resigned and left.

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Ye Xingye clenched his fists angrily and said, "Who is it that wants to harm Lingxi?! If I find out, I will beat him until his teeth are all over the floor!"

Ye Lingjue's eyes were cold and his voice was cold and indifferent, "Brother Imperial and Third Brother, please go back first. I'll go take a look at the koi pond."

"Second brother, let's—" Before Ye Xingye could say the words "Let's go together," he walked in the other direction, "Brother, let's go and have a look too. Maybe we can find some clues."

"There are too many people, so it's not easy to find clues. Let's go back first." Ye Qingran said.

It was not easy for Ye Xingye to object, and his second brother seemed to be in a particularly bad mood. He was a little nervous about going alone, so he followed his elder brother back first.
