"Come on, someone fell into the water!"
A scream passed over the garden of Duke Anguo's Mansion, which also brought the frightened people back to their senses.
In the pond, two girls were struggling, one of them desperately pulling the other to the shore.
There was also a woman on the shore who knew how to swim and jumped in and swam towards the two of them.
Gu Jinzhao looked at the person pulling him and struggling, and he really wanted to knock him unconscious with a palm.
As they were about to reach the shore, someone was swimming toward them.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her calf cramped.
As her body continued to sink, her mind became calmer and she freed up one hand to knock the struggling person unconscious.
Before she could make a move, a light move on her body lifted the fluttering person up, and then she was also picked up, and she was on the shore in a blink of an eye.
She knew how to hold water, so she didn't choke on the water, but she was wet and looked a little embarrassed.
The maid Yuqi immediately ran over and put a cloak on her.
Gu Jinzhao turned to look at his rescuer. He was wearing a moon-white robe standing next to another woman who was soaked all over. He frowned slightly and took off his cloak and put it on her.
A trace of disappointment flashed across his clear eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
"Your Highness, Miss Lin was pushed down."
Suddenly a little maid ran over and knelt down in front of the prince. Her face was pale and her eyes were frightened, as if she had been frightened by something.
The prince frowned when he heard this, his face turned cold, he looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground, his voice was low and cold.
"Did you personally see someone push Qing Yue down?" His narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed: "If you lie, you should know what will happen."
The little maid trembled and her face turned paler, but she was still very determined. She turned to look at Gu Jinzhao.
"This slave saw with her own eyes that Miss Gu pushed Miss Lin down."
Gu Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, feeling the scrutinizing eyes from all around him, and felt very ashamed and annoyed.
She has a hot temper and is not a person who suffers losses.
"There were so many people in the pavilion at that time, and you were not there, how did you know it was me who pushed you?" Without giving the little maid a chance to speak, she continued: "If it was really me who pushed me, why would I jump? Save people?"
"This... How could I know this? Although I was not in the pavilion, I happened to be on the Jiuqu Bridge at that time." The little maid pointed to the bridge not far away. Standing there, she could see everything in the pavilion clearly.
"I think what this little maid said is somewhat credible. Who doesn't know that Miss Gu likes His Highness the Crown Prince? Today's performance can not only gain Miss Lin's gratitude, but also leave a good impression on His Highness the Crown Prince. "
I don't know who whispered something in a low voice, but it was very clear in the quiet environment of the scene.
Gu Jinzhao was so angry that she raised her head and looked at the prince who had been silent.
"I, Gu Jinzhao, have always been upright in my work, and I will never do anything negative."
As soon as she finished speaking, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly appeared.
[Please host throw Lin Qingyue back into the pool within one minute. You will be rewarded if you complete the task, and you will be punished by electric shock if you fail the task. 】
Looking at the countdown flashing in his mind, Gu Jinzhao would really appreciate it.
Without any embarrassment, she stepped forward, grabbed Lin Qingyue, and pushed her directly into the pond.
This wave of operations shocked everyone, and even the prince's indifferent expression became chapped.
This time he did not take action, but asked the people around him to rescue the person.
Lin Qingyue's cloak was also wet, and a maid immediately came over to untie it for her and change it into a clean one. This made her already bloodless face paler, making her whole person weaker and pitiful.
The corners of her eyes were red, with tears in her eyes: "Miss Gu, why are you doing this to me?"
Gu Jinzhao looked at Lin Qingyue. She did not explain out loud when the little maid made the accusation, but now she stood up to question him.
She blinked and said innocently: "This maid said that I pushed you into the water. I can't let this accusation go in vain. I have to prove my innocence. If I wanted to push you into the water, I would just throw him in like I did just now. .”
When everyone heard what she said, they felt that it made sense, but something seemed wrong.
