Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 2
In the 27th year of Jian'an, in early spring, the cold air has not faded away, the wind is mixed with coldness, and there are layers of thin ice on the lake that have not melted. Most people stay away from the lake. After all, if one accidentally falls in this weather, he will not die. Also have a serious illness.

Because of this, not many people noticed that a small figure in a pale yellow dress hurried away after the sound of a splash in the lake.

Today is Princess Anle's birthday party in Prince Rui's Mansion. Some lords and ladies in Shengjing were invited, and most of them gathered around today's protagonist, Princess Anle, flattering her beauty , her new poems just released a few days ago, and her second brother who won the Jinshi by virtue of his own ability.

"The princess is really a natural blessing. Not only is her family background extraordinary, but her own talent and appearance are also extraordinary. Even her relatives are so promising, but I don't know if the second son is a good match. Talent, learning and character are not worthy of ordinary people."

Princess Anle smiled reservedly, admitting that she was not good at asking about her brother's marriage, but there was a hint of complacency in her eyes.It's just that her pride was replaced by a trace of boredom in the next moment, because someone mentioned someone she didn't want to mention.

"Didn't the Second Young Master say that he has someone he likes a while ago? That Xie family's second daughter is the most beautiful woman in Shengjing. Since ancient times, a beautiful woman and a talented man are a perfect match."

"Hey? Speaking of Second Miss Xie, didn't you also come today? Where did you go?"

"Miss Xie San, where's your second sister?"

A cute little girl from Yuxue just came over, when someone grabbed her hand and asked her, she widened her innocent eyes and shook her head, expressing her ignorance: "I saw it just now, and she said that this place is very boring, and she wants to go for a walk by herself. "

As soon as Xie Jinyao said this, countless people curled their lips, and Princess Anle's eyes showed an extremely unexpected light. At this moment, there was a burst of noise from a distance.

Princess Anle looked at the people around her distracted, couldn't help but gritted her teeth, and was thinking about someone who didn't have eyes that ruined her birthday party, when a servant girl hurried over here, shouting as she ran: " It’s not good, it’s not good, princess, someone fell into the water!”

"Who fell into the water?"

Princess Anle pressed her forehead impatiently, hating the person who fell into the water without watching the time.

"Is it saved?"

This day fell into the water, Miss Wang's family next to Princess Anle was kind-hearted, and couldn't help but worry and ask.

"It's Miss Xie Jia, the second Miss Xie Jia fell into the water!"

The servant girl breathed out this sound, and everyone was stunned.

-

The icy lake water is constantly squeezed from the surroundings, submerging towards the mouth, nose, and top of the head. The lake water blocks the breathing, and the feeling of suffocation is so painful.

The pain was unbearable, but Xie Jinhua, who was in a daze, woke up.

She thought that she would never feel pain again.

Isn't she dead?

Died in the forbidden palace, died under the chaos of knives.

Xie Jinhua opened his eyes abruptly, waved his hands and feet subconsciously, and finally he was able to receive the vague sound that seemed to be separated by a layer of world in his ears.

"Over there, over there!"

"It's the second miss of the Xie family!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

"Who knows how to water, go down and save people!"

The voice became clearer and clearer, and Xie Jinhua, who barely floated on the water, saw overlapping shadows on the shore. They were women with flowers and brocades, shouting to save people, but no one came down.

Xie Jinhua heard a gloating female voice from the opposite bank: "Oh, women can't get down in such a cold lake, what are you still doing, why don't you go find some boys, hurry up go!"

Xie Jinhua's eyes were wide open, the girl who stopped the maid and yelled for the servant to save her, even after countless years, her powerful memory still remembered the other party, that was Princess Anle of Prince Rui's Mansion, in her In my memory, I have been dead for seven years, and died in
Xie Jinhua floated up and down and fell down, but she was unwilling to close her eyes, staring at the little girl next to Princess Anle, the girl in the goose-yellow shirt.

Xie Jinyao!
At that moment, the hands and feet that had no strength seemed to have added thousands of strength, and they paddled themselves up again. Xie Jinhua stared straight at Xie Jinyao, even though he couldn't paddle, he still tried his best to reach her. over there.

Xie Jinyao was just pretending to be worried, and looked at Xie Jinhua's eyes, those eyes seemed to be stained with blood, after all, she was just a 12-year-old girl, with an ah, her heart trembled, Can't help but fall to the side.

Did Xie Jinhua see it just now?

Xie Jinyao was extremely scared.

"Miss Xie San, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, I know you are worried about your second sister."

"I don't know why I was so careless, such a frozen lake—"

Someone supported Xie Jinyao, with worry on his face.

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the second sister, woohoo, I beg the princess, please save the second sister as soon as possible."

Xie Jinyao pinched her fingers, regardless of whether Xie Jinhua saw it just now, since she did it, she must do it to the end.

"Yes, it's important to save people quickly."

This is really wanting to save people, while comforting Xie Jinyao.

"Why hasn't the boy arrived yet!"

Princess Anle urged the maid beside her with some false anxiety.

"Here we come. Princess, this is—"

The servant girl was about to start, but Princess Anle directly interrupted: "What are you talking about, it's important to go down and save Miss Xie's second!"

Several young servants were brought over by the servant girl, and at the same time, several young masters from the mansion who participated in the banquet came over, including Princess Anle's second elder brother, and the son of Inspector Zhou's family whom Princess Anle favored.

Princess Anle's eyes darkened, and she almost couldn't wait to direct the servant to jump into the water to save Xie Jinhua.

The young masters who followed looked at each other, and wanted to jump down with some hesitation. After all, the beauty painted by Xie Jin is really attractive. floating look.

No matter how good the beauties are, it's not worth their lives for masters like them. Even if they can swim in such a cold lake, anyone who enters it will probably suffer a serious illness.

"Princess, or find two girls who can swim, or Miss Xie's reputation——"

When the young masters flinched, Miss Wang couldn't help dissuading her. If Xie Jinhua was rescued from the water by the young servant in full view today, it would be because of the power of the Shangshufu that he would not marry the young servant. Xie Jinhua Most of his reputation will be ruined.

"What do you know, saving people is the most important thing, why don't you hurry up and save people!"

Princess Anle looked at the slender figure up and down in the water from a distance, and felt a toothache. Thinking of the lost soul of the second brother hooked by the other party, thinking of the reputation that the other party has been pressing on her head, and the family of Inspector Zhou. The son looked concerned and worried, she grabbed Miss Wang's arm, exerted all her strength, and even pinched the other's arm.

At the same time, he urged the few hesitant servants over there even louder.

The servants are all from Prince Rui's Mansion, and they all listen to Princess Anle. Besides, Xie Jinhua is known as the most beautiful woman in Shengjing. As long as he is a man, he can't help but want to get close. There are a few shallow-minded ones who can't help it. There was a look of anticipation on his face.

Seeing the young servants take off their thick cotton coats, they were about to jump into the lake.

A male voice sounded: "You all step back, I will go!"

A few boys who were about to go into the water were pulled away.

Princess Anle looked back and saw the person, and couldn't help but lose her voice: "Uncle Wu."

At the same time, another exclamation sounded: "Big brother-in-law!"

King Qi didn't intend to talk to Princess Anle and Xie Jinyao. He walked to the lake, took off his heavy coat, and jumped into the water under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Looking at the figure of the man swimming towards Xie Jinhua, the girls on the bank couldn't help buzzing.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is really a good man, he actually went into the water by himself to save Miss Xie's second."

"His Royal Highness Qi Wang and Miss Xie's family have always been affectionate, so naturally they love the house and blacks of Miss Xie's family."

"Miss Xie San, do you think so?"

Xie Jinyao nodded stiffly, his eyes still refused to leave King Qi's figure, he had already arrived at Xie Jinhua's side.

Xie Jinyao clenched her five fingers tightly, thinking of the parents' conversation overheard by the mansion, and thinking of the gentle eyes of King Qi looking at the second sister, I just felt a burst of hatred in my heart.

The look in her eyes was like a poisonous spirit at that moment, a young lady saw it by chance, and was shocked in her heart: "Miss Xie San."

"I hope the second sister and eldest brother-in-law are fine."

After Xie Jinyao noticed the strange eyes of the people around her, she immediately said worriedly.

King Qi had already swam to Xie Jinhua's side, and he saw the woman's pale as paper but beautiful face at a glance, his eyes deepened, and King Qi reached out and grabbed Xie Jinhua's arm. Sincerely and falsely, everyone had a relieved expression on their faces.

"Splash!" There was a heavy sound of water, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, only Xie Jinhua pushed King Qi away, and the man caught off guard and fell heavily into the water.

"I don't want you to save me!"

Xie Jinhua choked and swallowed another mouthful of lake water, instead of looking at King Qi who was pushed aside by him with a face full of astonishment, injury and disbelief, he paddled wildly with his hands and feet, and paddled towards the opposite direction from King Qi on the other side.

She didn't know if she was dreaming now or something so miraculous happened that it brought her back to the moment when she had an unbreakable intersection with King Qi. She was just dreaming and didn't want to be saved by King Qi again.

She would rather sink to the bottom of the lake at this moment than be rescued by the man who has betrayed her for half her life!

"Big brother-in-law!"

Xie Jinyao couldn't help but rushed to the lake: "Go down and save people, if anything happens to my eldest brother-in-law, you all don't want to live!"

She yelled at the servants around her, and amidst the thumping sound, more than a dozen people fell into the lake water like dumplings.

Some were heading towards King Qi, and some were painting towards Xie Jin.

King Qi was pushed away and choked on a few sips of water just because he was caught off guard for a while. After recovering, he pushed away the little guard who wanted to come to help him with a somewhat ugly face, and swam towards the shore by himself.

Although his birth mother's status is not valuable, she is also the prince who has been crowned king. Xie Jinhua said that he didn't want you to save him without the slightest gratitude, making him choose to stand on the sidelines.

She doesn't want to be rescued by King Qi, and she doesn't want to be rescued by servants with ulterior motives. Xie Jinhua is like a trapped animal, struggling constantly, dodging each arm with difficulty, her complexion is pale Like paper, her limbs were about to become stiff.

She thought that she was going to sink completely in the next moment, and a hand grabbed her.

A somewhat hoarse voice in the stage of changing voice sounded beside my ear: "Grab my hand!"

It was a thin figure between a boy and a teenager who could not even be called a boy. His thin body tightly grasped Xie Jinhua's hand. At that moment, she felt the roughness of the other's palm, blurred by water vapor. In the line of sight, is a gloomy familiar withered and yellow face.

Qin Zheng.

At that moment, Xie Jinhua firmly held the other's hand, never wanting to let go.
