If it hits hard now, the two of them will definitely fall into the lake! It’s just June and the water in Tianhu Lake is still cold. What if a weak child can’t take a dip like this to protect his health?
If Xie Yun is ill, and she is the culprit who caused him to fall into the water because of her careless hands and feet, there will definitely be some gap in the hearts of King Runan and his wife.
It turned out that this was what Xie Shangshan had in mind.
Ji Shu thought that it was indeed the case. After putting her hands on Xie Yun's shoulders, she shifted her position slightly so that her arms were on the ground. She used herself to cushion Xie Yun's stones on the lakeside and hugged Xie Yun back. His head was protected in his arms.
The two of them fell down by the lake together, with splashes of turbid water splashing on their bodies.
"What's wrong! What happened!"
Hearing the commotion, the nearby female relatives all looked over. Xie Shangshan was so excited that he pushed aside the crowd and went over. He expected to see two figures flopping in the lake——
Unexpectedly, Ji Shu gently helped Xie Yun up and wiped away the stains on his face.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Xie Shangshan was so angry that his lips trembled and his eyes turned red.
Ji Shu glanced at Xie Shangshan through the crowd. Knowing that she had bad intentions, Ji Shu had already prepared for it. When he went to Xie Yun's place, he deliberately stood far away. Unexpectedly, the person who helped Xie Shangshan was really impatient. He was probably afraid. She really persuaded Xie Yun to come back, and took action without considering whether she could knock the two of them off.
"Yooner! Yoona, are you okay?"
Princess Ge ran all the way from the Huxin Pavilion and hugged her son to check. Her beauty was pale, and Xie Yun's lips were a little white. She was in shock and tried to comfort Princess Ge.
"Don't be afraid, mother, I'm fine."
His constitution was too weak and he would have to lie down for half a month without wearing any underwear in winter. Princess Ge was really scared.
"what is going on!"
"Sister-in-law, please blame me! It's all my fault. I mentioned to Yuner that you liked the lotus flowers in this lake, and Yuner said that I would pick them for you. I thought it would be okay to swim here shallowly. Yes, who would have thought that County Master Wenyu was so careless that he almost knocked Yoona down."
Ji Shu's eyes darkened as he wiped away the dirty water on his body. He looked at Xie Shangshan from a distance and silently grasped the handkerchief in his hand.
Before Princess Ge could speak, Xie Yun said: "Mother! No, it's not the fault of the county magistrate. It was me who wanted to pick flowers for my mother, so the county magistrate came to persuade me. I slipped on my feet and almost fell, but the county magistrate saved me. I was hit by me. There are too many rocks here, and I don’t know if the county leader was injured!"
When Princess Ge heard this, she hurriedly looked at Ji Shu. At this glance, she realized that she was even more embarrassed than Xie Yun. The fine brocade on her body was stained with gray spots and she could no longer wear it. The broken hair on her temples fell down, lining the I felt pity for him with his gentle and indifferent face.
"It's my fault, I was so worried about Yoona just now! I'll take you to change clothes!"
Ji Shu held Princess Ge's hand and said, "Princess, wait a moment, wait for me to find the person who made trouble behind you just now, and then it's not too late to change into this one."
Xie Shangshan had a grim look on his face, and Princess Ge said, "You mean someone just pushed you from behind on purpose?!"
"As soon as I stood behind His Highness, I was hit by someone."
"That's unreasonable! Who is it!"
Princess Ge said angrily: "Just now, someone saw who did it! If you can report me, you will be rewarded!"
The female relatives looked at each other. There were too many people at that time, and everyone's attention was on Xie Shangshan. Who would care about Ji Shu.
Seeing this, Xie Shangshan breathed a sigh of relief quietly. She scanned the crowd, hoping that the palace man would take the opportunity to run away.
Ji Shu: "Princess, please circle this place first and don't ask anyone to leave. I have a way to find that person."
Xie Shangshan took a breath of cold air. Princess Ge immediately ordered the nursing staff to surround the place. Xie Shangshan felt guilty and opened his mouth to say:
"The county boss was pushed from behind. The incident happened suddenly. How can we find out the real culprit? Don't show off and waste everyone's time."
"That's right... why are we being treated like prisoners?"
Ji Shu raised his hand, palm upward, and said calmly: "If I say I can find it, I can find it. The person started from behind. She used the crowd as a cover, but it was precisely because of the crowd that I couldn't finish her push in time. Let's go. After I protected Her Highness from falling to the ground, I immediately grabbed her ankle with my dirty hands. Now I just need to check everyone's shoes and socks, and whoever has marks on them will be the person who pushed me."
Xie Shangshan looked at the dirty water in her palms, his pupils trembling.
At the same time, the palace lady hiding in the crowd was shivering. She buried her head very low and tried to squeeze behind the crowd, hoping to take the opportunity to slip away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she exited the crowd, a hand pressed on her shoulder and dragged her forward.
Qingtan shouted: "Miss! This person is sneaking away! I think something is wrong with her! She must have a guilty conscience!!"
Xie Shangshan's head was dizzy. The palace servants were frightened and struggled in panic, "I'm not! I don't have it! I'm the princess's maid! I'm going to attend to the princess' affairs!"
Princess Ge quickly looked at Xie Shangshan, "Is he yours?"
"...Don't get me wrong, Sister-in-law! I just asked her to pick up my cloak for me." Xie Shangshan smiled stiffly to hide his panic, and spat at the palace attendant: "You won't go back later! I didn't see the county The Lord is looking for the murderer! What kind of trouble are you causing? Come over quickly!"
The palace man was about to run over, but Qingtan held her shoulders firmly.
Xie Shangshan looked at Ji Shu: "County Lord, what does your maid mean?"
"Princess, don't blame me. As long as anyone is present, it's possible. Since your maid is so innocent, we might as well start with her first."
Qingtan grabbed the person and carried her to Ji Shu's side. Ji Shu grabbed the hem of her clothes and was about to pull her up. The palace attendant pulled her down tightly, but he wouldn't let her lift it.
Everyone around them noticed something was wrong: "This man is so strange. If you didn't do anything, you feel guilty!"
"There's something wrong with her. Just now we were holding up our skirts and looking at each other, but she was the only one who almost buried her head in her chest!"
"She must have done it."
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, Ji Shu picked up the hem of her skirt with a short body, and then shouted sharply: "It's really you!"
The palace man's psychological defense suddenly collapsed, and he fell to the ground and cried: "This slave accidentally bumped into the county master. This slave did not mean it! The county master has mercy on her life! Princess, have mercy on her life!"
"You bastard! You're so careless and you almost hurt Yoona. I'll beat you to death!"
Xie Shangshan rushed forward and slapped the palace man on the face. He was about to hit her a second time, but Princess Ge grabbed her wrist and said coldly:
"This person is your maid, why didn't I follow you at that time! When I accidentally bumped into the master, my first reaction was not to save him, but to run away! You are a fool for looking at me!"
Xie Shangshan was so panicked that he struggled and pushed Princess Ge back again and again.
"Sister-in-law, I, I really don't know. You, please listen to my explanation..."
She retreated to the lake, not noticing that a hand quietly reached out from the lake and quickly grabbed her ankle.
"ah--"
Xie Shangshan exclaimed, and in front of everyone, he threw his head back into the lake. He didn't even float up and went straight to the top, leaving only a pile of foam on the lake.
Everyone on the shore was shocked, and the female family members screamed - "The princess has fallen into the water! Someone come and save her!"
Princess Ge hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to go into the water to save people. In the panic, only Ji Shu stood aside and looked at the lake where no one had emerged, tilting his head curiously.
