Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 216
"Come quickly! Fujin fell into the water."

There was chaos on the boat, and Tong Cheng'er, who was underwater, was entangled by the maid as soon as she fell into the water. She couldn't open her eyes underwater, and she was hugged all over. She could swim, but it was useless.

She wasn't strong enough to break free from the maid.

Surrounded by water, her head was getting heavier and heavier, and she could faintly hear the panicked voices on board.

Ru Lan jumped in the first moment Tong Cheng'er fell into the water, but the water was muddy, and even if she could barely open her eyes, she couldn't see where Tong Cheng'er was.

At this time, Tong Cheng'er couldn't hold on any longer, her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

At this time, Yinzhen was writing something in the Ministry of Officials, but for some reason, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if something happened, he was restless.

This feeling is really uncomfortable, he said to Su Peisheng: "Prepare the carriage and go home immediately."

Su Peisheng felt that his tone was anxious and uneasy, and said quickly, "Yes."

After that, go to prepare the carriage.

On the way back home, Yinzhen repeatedly urged the driver to hurry up.

In the middle of the lake, Tong Cheng'er felt that she was about to pass out, at least she suddenly felt a pain in her wrist, she woke up, she felt something was wrong, why did it feel like a knife was cutting her wrist!

Then, she completely lost consciousness.

The maid felt that she was no longer struggling, and quickly dragged the person up, and when the water came out, the princess said anxiously: "Get the fourth sibling up quickly."

Ru Lan has just emerged from the water at this time, and at this time, the people of the princess and Tong Cheng'er are all in the water!
The people around the princess were all very strong, and they fished Tong Cheng'er out of the water in a few strokes.

Then, the crown princess said anxiously: "Take the boat back quickly, and ask the imperial doctor to come over."

At this time, the nanny next to the princess took out a porcelain bottle and began to collect blood from Tong Cheng'er's wrist.

At this time, there are people from the princess on board, so naturally no one can stop it.

The boat rowed towards the shore, and Ru Lan also swam to the shore at this time, and the moment she got ashore, the Crown Princess said in a hurry, "Hurry up and call the imperial doctor."

Ru Lan hurried over at this time, then turned over Tong Cheng'er's body, and slapped Tong Cheng'er, Tong Cheng'er coughed and spit out two mouthfuls of water.

woke up.

Opening her eyes again, Tong Cheng'er felt as if she had passed away.

Then, she felt that her head was heavy, her nose was uncomfortable, and her throat was uncomfortable. As soon as she raised her hand, she found that there was a not-so-small cut in her wrist, which was still bleeding.

"Fu Jin, you've woken up!" Ru Lan had the expression of the rest of her life after a catastrophe, and she had time to be happy when she saw the wound exposed when she raised her hand.

Ru Lan asked worriedly, "What's wrong with your wrist?"

Why did you cut your wrist after falling into the water?

Tong Cheng'er was a little sober this time, she coughed: "Help me up first."

Ru Lan helped her up.

The princess winked at the maid who fell into the water with Tong Cheng'er just now, and the maid directly knelt on the ground: "It's all because of slaves, if it wasn't for slaves who got seasick, they wouldn't have slipped their feet and pushed Si Fujin into the water, it's a crime of a slave He deserves to die, and Si Fujin should be punished."

At this time, the Crown Princess spoke in a timely manner: "Is it my fault for today's matter? I am the one who caused the four younger siblings to suffer so much. I will hand over this court lady to the fourth younger siblings. I will never plead for mercy."

As soon as the Crown Princess said this, the maid lowered her head and trembled, she was very pitiful.

After such a series of actions by the princess, Tong Cheng'er was a little confused.

She has pleaded for mercy like this, if she cares about whether it is a bit too unreasonable.

However, when she thought about being pushed into the water just now and being hugged and unable to move, she suddenly felt that it didn't matter if she was close or not. The key was that she felt wronged, and someone had to take responsibility.

So Tong Cheng'er said: "The princess is really generous. Since you have said so, I, as a younger brother and sister, can't slap your face no matter what. I will stay this maid."

After all, the Crown Princess' face froze for a moment, and then said: "It should be, it should be."

Tong Cheng'er nodded, she really should.

Tong Cheng'er was wet all over, and she didn't change her clothes, she asked the maid directly: "You brought me ashore just now, it looks like I can swim, why did you hold me in the water?"

The court lady lowered her head, her voice trembling: "The servant had leg cramps when he just fell into the water, it wasn't on purpose."

"Oh, then as a court lady, why do you have a knife on your body? It seems that you made my wrist."

The maid hadn't raised her head yet, she said aggrievedly: "This servant didn't bring a knife, if Si Fujin doesn't believe me, he can be searched."

Tong Cheng'er was annoyed by her look of "being upright and not afraid of the oblique shadow".

"So, I insulted you."

The maid muttered in a low voice, "I don't have any."

Tong Cheng'er looked at the wound on her wrist: "Could it be that my wound was cut by a ghost?"

No one spoke, and the maid just knelt there.

At this time, Sanfujin and Wufujin had just got off the boat. Seeing this, Sanfujin immediately said, "Rulan, Ruxue, why don't you take the fourth sibling to change clothes?"

The crown prince's face was not very good when she heard the words: "The third brother and sister are right, why don't the fourth brother and sister go change their clothes first and then talk about other things?"

Tong Cheng'er glanced at the princess, and she felt that something was wrong today, but she didn't know what was wrong, after all, the falling into the water did seem to be accidental, although she felt that the accident was deliberate.

She didn't intend to kill her, and a cut was made on her wrist, but the cut was not too big, and it wouldn't leave a scar after it was healed.

It seemed like an accident, but Tong Cheng'er felt something was wrong.

The clothes can be changed at any time, but this matter cannot pass.

It happened that there was also a house here, so she said directly to Ruxue: "Ruxue, bring someone to fetch the clothes. I'm in the yard next to me. Now I have to deal with some things."

Ruxue: "Yes, Fujin."

After speaking, she left.

After giving Ruxue the order, she said to Rulan again: "Rulan, you go find someone to fish in the lake, there is no way my wrist will be cut innocently."

She can be sure that the tool of the crime is not on the maid who fell into the water with her just now, and she can be sure that the maid in the water did cut her wrist on purpose.

But as soon as she said this, the princess's face suddenly collapsed.

"What the fourth sibling said seems to be that Bengong has mistreated her. You have been wronged today, but Xuelan also made a mistake unintentionally. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do so!"

Tong Cheng'er smiled slightly, and said to the princess: "Our father and the prince have a good relationship. I did this for the sake of the brotherhood between our father and the prince. Today, the prince brought someone to my house and said that he wanted to swim in the lake. , As a result, I was pushed into the water by the people you brought, almost died, and my wrist was cut for no reason, why, can't you let me find the root cause?"

In the end, she added another sentence: "The Crown Princess defends this maid named Xue Lan so much. Those who don't know think that the Crown Princess ordered it!"
