Your Highness Yh Chapter 53 (1/2)

This time, Lin Shan didn’t nod. She wanted the story to climax.

Now that Lin Shan stopped nodding, Yang Yu Er panicked. She took out a sack from her sleeves and shoved it into Lin Shan’s hands as she whispered: “This is a welcome gift from me. Please accept my kind intentions.”

Oh wow! I get money even when I’m on house arrest? Not bad!

This time, it was Lin Shan’s eyes s.h.i.+ning. She pretended to reject the sack and continued to remain silent.

Yang Yu Er realized one wasn’t enough and fished out another full sack. Now, she shoved both into Lin Shan’s hands: “Prince Consort, please do not reject me. It’s just a humble gift. No big deal.”

This time, Lin Shan didn’t return the sacks and stuffed both into her sleeves.

Seeing how Lin Shan accepted her money, Yang Yu Er felt a breath of relief. She calmly asked: “Prince Consort, do you remember who the Highness’s desired candidate is?”

Lin Shan looked at her and shook her head.

Yang Yu Er almost spat blood: “Prince Consort… you can’t…” She was so emotional that she didn’t noticed the stone in front of her. Yang Yu Er stumbled and fell towards the lotus pond.

Lin Shan rushed to get out of the way, but it was too late. Yang Yu Er reached out and caught onto Lin Shan’s sleeves. All Lin Shan felt was a force pus.h.i.+ng her forward. Before she could react, both of them had already fallen into the lotus pond.

Plop! Plop!

After the two sounds, there was a huge splash. Then, Yang Yu Er could be heard screaming like a slaughtered pig from the back garden: “Help! Help!! Help…..”

——-

Just as Lin Shan and Yang Yu Er both fell into the waters, at the Crown Prince’s residence, Du Hao was having a serious chat with Gu Zuo.

“Your subordinate has discovered that the slip of paper is a from a special type of paper that is only produced from the Palace. Therefore, most likely, it was sent from someone here.” Gu Zuo stated.

It was someone from the Palace? Du Hao narrowed his eyes: “What about the flying dagger?”

“The flying dagger is an ordinary item. It is not created from the Palace. However, if a person can thrust such an ordinary item straight into the tree, he must have very strong abilities. I’m afraid he is not an ordinary person.”

Ordinary person? If he was an ordinary person, he wouldn’t dare to be so unbridled in front of my eyes. Du Hao coolly laughed.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone screaming from faraway.

“Let’s go take a look.” Du Hao said to Gu Zuo. The two of them left the Study one after another, and followed the sounds of the screaming towards the back garden.

It was currently the peak of the midsummer. The lotus pond from the back garden was filled with large pieces of lotus leaves. By the time Du Hao and Gu Zuo arrived, the lotus pond had already been surrounded by quite a number of servant girls. All of them rushed to one side the moment they saw Du Hao; their faces showed signs of fear.

Du Hao looked at the lotus pond and saw Yang Yu Er fluttering like a duck. He couldn’t help but crinkled his brows. Then, he looked at Gu Zuo: “You, go in.”

Poor Gu Zuo was stunned: “Your Highness, I… I do not know how to swim….”

“Are you implying that I should go in instead?” Du Hao narrowed his eyes.

Gu Zuo hesitated: “Umm.. your subordinate shall order someone…..” Gu Zuo turned around and was about to leave.
