The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 2, Extra Mercy

The moon is high in the sky, and the moonlight is as bright as a silver thread.

Under the blazing firelight, the palace maids knelt on the ground. Only the young emperor with a noble and fierce temperament, Emperor Yuji Xie Chengyu, frowned and stared at the graceful figure emerging from the lotus pond.

The waves are rippling, the girl's brows are slightly frowned, her black hair hangs down to her waist. As she swims in the water, you can see crystal water drops dripping from her jade-like cheeks, causing ripples on the water surface.

"As bright as the rising sun in the morning glow, and as dazzling as lotus emerging from the green waves." The low and clear humming voice seemed to be dissipated in the wind like an illusion.

Wow!

The sound of water was floating. Shen Qingtang did not care about her wet clothes. The first thing she did after getting ashore was to put the cub in her arms on the ground and quickly undress the cub.

"He's drowning and unconscious. Go call the doctor!"

While Shen Qingtang was giving urgent and concise instructions, he held the cub's chin and quickly and carefully cleaned the mud, sand and water plants from its mouth and nose.

The cub's chest rose and fell weakly, and its breathing was almost nonexistent.

Shen Qingtang was so focused on implementing first aid measures that she didn't realize she had become the focus of the crowd. Even the eunuch who had been chasing her but saw that the situation was not good had hidden himself in a fake cave.

The young eunuch gnashed his teeth and said, "Eunuch Wang, you almost killed me!"

While the young eunuch was terrified, Emperor Yu Ji, who was at home, had a gloomy face.

Seeing Shen Qingtang shivering from the cold, but still trying her best to press the Third Prince's chest, the weakly trembling white fingertips made his narrow and long phoenix eyes become dark and deep.

"But exhausted?"

A cold male voice came from above his head. Shen Qingtang had no time to care who it was and just nodded repeatedly.

"There is a huge disparity in strength between men and women. Powerful CPR can get him out of danger quickly, but—"

Before Shen Qingtang finished his words, a large, strong hand with distinct joints appeared in his field of vision without warning.

Shen Qingtang's breathing stagnated, and then he heard a familiar voice sounding beside him.

"Is this the right way to perform it?"

"here!"

Someone came to help. Shen Qingtang calmed down, brought his hand to the correct position, and taught him the correct rescue technique. When he was able to complete cardiopulmonary resuscitation independently, she turned her attention to checking the condition of the cub.

The night is as cool as water, and the dusk is dark.

While Shen Qingtang and the young emperor worked together to rescue the people, Jiang Quan, as the emperor's trusted eunuch, directed the palace servants to carry lanterns for lighting in an orderly manner.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, except for the arrival of the imperial physician.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, while his own emperor was rescuing the Third Prince, Jiang Quan secretly took a look at Shen Qingtang under the light, and he was amazed at the sight of her.

Although this woman was wearing the clothes of an ordinary palace maid, her face was blessed by heaven, with a delicate forehead, beautiful eyebrows, skin as white as jade, and graceful demeanor...

Nothing!
It's incredible, when did such a beautiful lady appear in this palace? !

No wonder his emperor would condescend to stay by her side. It won't be long before the harem has a new noble lady.

While Jiang Quan was secretly trying to figure out the emperor's intentions, the third prince, who had been in a coma, finally began to recover his heartbeat with emergency measures.

Just as Shen Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief, a sad cry was heard in a panic.

"...Yier, my Yier——"

The chief eunuch Jiang Quan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Concubine Liang, with her composure completely lost, staggering and running wildly beside the imperial physician.

"Yier, my Yier, what have you done to my Yier?!"

Concubine Liang's eyes turned red, and when she rushed towards the Third Prince on the ground in panic, she was quickly stopped by the eunuch Jiang Quan.

"Please be well, Concubine Liang. Please be patient. Thanks to the timely rescue by the Emperor and the little palace maid, the Third Prince is out of danger. However, the exact condition of the Third Prince will only be known after the diagnosis by the Imperial Physician."

After hearing Jiang Quan's words, Concubine Liang felt relieved. She felt as if all her energy had been drained away. Her limbs were limp and she hung upside down on the palace maid.

Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she sobbed softly: "God bless, please keep my Yi'er safe and sound. I, Ji Furong, beg you to bless my son..."

Concubine Liang was absent-minded. Jiang Quan sighed secretly, ordered the palace maids to take good care of Concubine Liang, and then turned to Emperor Yuji.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

With the imperial physician present, Shen Qingtang had just relaxed his tense nerves when a gust of cold wind blew past, and he sneezed uncontrollably several times in succession.

"Hello~"

The tip of Shen Qingtang's nose was red. After she came out of her concentration, she realized belatedly that she felt cold and weak all over.

Suffer!
Perhaps her final fate was to die of a cold.

Shen Qingtang was so cold that she wanted to hug herself, but as soon as she moved, a cold cloak covered her head and face. "Huh?"

Shen Qingtang blinked in surprise, and a handsome face with cold features and a tough attitude came into her sight.

This, this, this... man!!

Seeing her eyes wide open like a frightened cat, Emperor Yu Ji felt quite amused.

"Which palace are you from? You have saved the Third Prince, what reward do you want?"

Shen Qingtang's breathing stagnated. Such a handsome man was actually the emperor who held the same position as Fatty!

"Slave——"

Shen Qingtang had just cleared his throat when he was interrupted by excited shouting.

"Wake up! The Third Prince is awake!!!"

Following the palace maids' cheers, there were bursts of sobbing and coughing.

“Wuuuwaaaa…wuuuuuu mother, cough, cough, cough…wuuuwaaa…”

The third prince burst into tears, hugged his concubine Liang tightly, and wiped his tears with lingering fear.

"Yier, mother is here, mother is here, don't be afraid, mother is here..."

After all, he was his son. When the third prince woke up, Emperor Yu Ji left Shen Qingtang and strode to the third prince.

"How is the Third Prince?"

The imperial physician bowed and said calmly, "Your Majesty and Concubine Liang, fortunately the Third Prince was treated in time and is not seriously injured. He is crying now because he is frightened. It would be better if the Third Prince cried out this time."

Emperor Yuji nodded, then turned to look at Concubine Liang, who was still crying, and couldn't help but frown.

"Liang Fei, Yi'er fell into the water this time. To prevent him from catching a cold, why don't you take him back and change his clothes?"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault for being careless. Mother Yi'er will take you back right away."

Concubine Liang suddenly came to her senses and without caring about etiquette, she hurriedly called the palace maid to carry the third prince and left in a hurry.

Although Concubine Liang left, the other palace maids huddled together like quails. All they could hear was a cold voice filled with murderous intent, echoing under the moonlight.

"Thoroughly investigate what happened tonight to see if it was a deliberate murder. If it was an accident, handle it according to the rules."

"The slave obeys the order."

The huge crowd dispersed. Shen Qingtang didn't think much about it. As she followed the crowd away, the voice of the eunuch Jiang Quan hurriedly sounded behind her.

"Stay away, girl!"

Eh?
Are we going to reward her according to her merits?
Under the envious gazes of the palace servants, Shen Qingtang pulled his cloak tightly around him and looked at the chief eunuch Jiang Quan with sparkling eyes.

"I wonder what instructions the eunuch has?" If it comes to rewards, I wonder if I can ask for grace to leave the palace and find another way to make a living?

"No, no, young lady, you saved the Third Prince today, and the Emperor is going to reward you~"

Shen Qingtang was overjoyed. With the hope of leaving the palace, she happily followed Jiang Quansheng and appeared in front of Emperor Xie Chengyu again.

"Your servant Shen Qingtang pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the emperor." Is this statement correct?

Shen Qingtang knelt on the ground, feeling hesitant and uneasy.

"Shen Qingtang?"

"The servant is here."

……

After a strange silence, a light laugh as soft as the bright moon and gentle breeze slowly sounded above his head.

"Have you thought about what reward you want?"

Good guy!
It was worth her humble service. This great wealth is finally hers, right? !
Shen Qingtang looked up with joy, his black and white eyes sparkling like a sea of ​​stars.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this servant hissed——"

Before he could finish his words, Shen Qingtang suddenly gasped, and as fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, an intense pain suddenly swept through his body.

"slave--"

She looked at the emperor's astonished eyes in a daze. The next second, the world was spinning and a cry seemed to come from the void.

"Shen Qingtang——"
