Chapter 49 Yi Jiazi Fell Into the Water (1/2)

Tang Xia frowned her eyebrows and looked at Yi Jiazi calmly, ”What do you want me for?” Then she fixed her eyes on Yi Jiazi's eyes, ”Where is Chu Tiankuo?”

Yi Jiazi closed her lips and wore a trace of scorn in her eyes, ”You are so worried about Guard Chu, sister.”

Tang Xia froze for a moment, ”Are you fooling me?”

”I dare not to fool you, sister. It's just the incorrectly relayed rumors from those slaves.” Yi Jiazi said with shrewdness flickering in her eyes and the golden hairpin into her hair shining in the dark.

”Yi Jiazi, I have no interest in playing your game. If you are making trouble for me, I advise you to stop.” Tang Xia said squinting down at Yi Jiazi. Like ink spilling into the horizon, the color of the night darkened as the slight floral fragrance of lotus lingered in the air.

”You must be joking, sister.” Yi Jiazi frowned her eyebrows slightly, then wore an indistinct smile on her mouth, ”You are so carefree now. I just wonder if you can stay calm as well after murdering someone, Sister Yue Ji.”

Yi Jiazi's smile was so strange that Tang Xia raised her eyebrows quite high.

”What is wrong with you?”

Tang Xia fixed her peach blossom eyes on Yi Jiazi with lights flickering in her eyes as her long dress swayed with the wind which highlighted her dominance.

”What is wrong with me? Hm.” Yi Jiazi sneered with her eyes full of gloominess, ”Yue Ji, do not try to have the last word. You have hurt me like this, how shameless you are to mount the high horse in front of me now.”

Yi Jiazi unfolded her facade totally in front of Tang Xia as if her hatred was ignited and Tang Xia froze at the sight of the coldness in Yi Jiazi's eyes.

”When did I hurt you? It was you who went for the wool and came home shorn. How shameless you are to blame it on me.”

Tang Xia wore a trace of anger in her eyes, not knowing what Yi Jiazi was going to do, ”If you called me just to listen to your complaints, I have no time for that.”

Tang Xia frowned her eyebrows in disgust as her long dress swayed with the wind. As she was sure that Chu Tiankuo was not here, there was no need for her to stay.

As a hint of darkness flickered in Yi Jiazi's gloomy eyes, she wore a strange smile on her mouth then raised her voice suddenly.

”Sister Yue Ji, why bother embarrassing me?”

Yi Jiazi yelled then flipped over unexpectedly as her purple sleeves trembled like the wings of a butterfly in the darkness leaving only silence.

As Yi Jiazi plopped into the pond, Tang Xia's nose was full of the floral fragrance of a lotus in bloom.

Tang Xia wore a heavy appearance and fixed her eyes on Yi Jiazi's fair arm above the water then said, ”Rescue her.”

Xiao Yuzi wore a reluctant appearance, making Tang Xia raise her eyebrows, ”Hurry!”

Xiao Yuzi in front shivered then knelt on the ground, spreading his dark-colored eunuch uniform, ”I'm sorry that I cannot obey your command. As Yi Jiazi is in danger, I have to risk my life to rescue her.”

As he finished her sentence, Xiao Yuzi also plopped into the pond making a splash that wet Tang Xia's sleeves embroidered with decorative patterns and leaving Tang Xia pondering in her peach blossom eyes.

”What does he mean?” Tangxia thought.

”What happened? Did Yi Jiazi fall into the water?” A familiar voice came from behind, making Tang Xia quiver in her heart then Tang Xia turned around immediately and bowed to Helian Jue, ”I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty.”

Helian Jue hid his handsome face in the dim light, showing neither his happiness nor anger, then raised his eyebrows high. Tang Xia said comforting him, ”Xiao Yuzi has jumped into the water to rescue her and the water of the lotus pond was not deep. You need not worry too much, Your Majesty.”

As Tang Xia finished her sentence, Xiao Yuzi held the wet Yi Jiazi out of the water. Yi Jiazi still wore an indistinct smile on her mouth for Tang Xia, like a deadly thorn flower unfolding in the dark, which looked strangely enchanting.

Xiao Yuzi felt Yi Jiazi's breath quickly then wore a pale face and shivered to kneel on the ground, ”Your... Your Majesty, Yi Jiazi is dead!”

Helian Jue frowned his eyebrows as the blue veins on his forehead protruded out, ”I just saw her fall into the water. How could she possibly die as she was rescued soon after?”

Hearing Helian Jue's words, Xiao Yuzi kowtowed to the ground hard, ”Your Majesty, Yi Jiazi truly has no breath anymore. You can call for the imperial physician to diagnose again. I dare not play around to you with her death, Your Majesty!”

Helian Jue said in a cold voice, ”Summon the imperial physician.”

The imperial physician hurried to carry Yi Jiazi to Shangshufang then raised his eyebrows high after feeling her pulse, ”I'm sorry for your loss, Your Majesty. Yi Jiazi has passed away.”

”Ridiculous!”

Helian Jue shouted angrily, making everyone present kneel on the ground together.

”I just saw her fall into the water. How could she possibly die as she was rescued by Xiao Yuzi soon after!”

The imperial physician bent his body lower, ”I dare not deceive you, Your Majesty. As a Southlander, Yi Jiazi is not good at swimming, and it is too cold at night in spite of the fact that the lotus pond is not deep. Additionally, as Yi Jiazi was frightened, the damage she got became worse. If Yi Jiazi could have been rescued earlier by a little bit, she would not be dead now.”

Xiao Yuzi sobbed depressingly, irritating Helian Jue, ”What are you crying for?”

”It was me who did not do well... I should have jumped into the water to rescue her without hesitation. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!”
