Feng Yunzheng and Lian Xiyue simultaneously turned around to look. The boat had already completely collapsed and the two of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Jiang Keji was about to reach the shore with Zhou Cheng Di on his back, Lian Ruyue wiped the water from her face and softly said:

”Your Highness, hurry and go to the emperor, don't let others find out that you didn't save the emperor just now!” The Emperor fell into the water. If the Ninth Prince didn't protect the Emperor actively, the Emperor would come back to his senses and be suspicious of the Ninth Prince.

”I'll send you back to the shore.” However, Feng Yunzheng did not move away from her side. The firmness in his eyes made Lian Ru Yue feel a burst of fear.

She restrained the waves in her heart and said, ”Now is not the time to be emotional. In the future, there will be a lot of things to do. Right now, His Highness must be the prince the emperor trusts in his heart.”

”If something were to happen to you, then what would be the point in doing what you have done in the future. Yue'er, don't forget, of all things, you are the most important.”

Lian Ruyue's heart trembled as she lowered her head and said, ”I've already ordered Leng Mei to return the cape and golden hairpin.”

”I know, I got it.” As Feng Yunzheng spoke, he had already pulled her hand and was swimming towards the shore.

He held the soft hand tightly, as if he held the whole world in his own.

She had never known what it was like to be protected before, but the moment her hand was clenched, she began to feel it.

”I used the dagger that Lian Fu gave me to poke a few holes in the rear cabin of the ship, letting the water slowly flow in, flowing into the cabin, intentionally ramming into the ship, and deliberately knocking the oars off the ship so that the boat couldn't reach the shore that fast. Only then did the boat turn over and the emperor fell into the lake.” Lian Ru Yue quietly told Feng Yunzheng of her plans and actions. The boat that the emperor was on suddenly capsized. This matter wouldn't be let go just like that. It would definitely be investigated thoroughly and cause a huge commotion in the palace — —

Following that, she also had a tough battle to fight, so it was necessary for her to tell these details to Feng Yunzheng.

When Feng Yunzheng heard this, his gaze froze. He turned his head to look at her calm and emotionless face — her courage was greater than he had imagined!

”I know.” Finally, he added, ”Next time don't let yourself be in danger.”

”I only attacked because I was confident.” Lian Ruyue said.

This was a conversation between experts.

”When we get ashore, I'd like to ask His Highness to think of a way to notify the empress dowager of the matter of the ship capsized and injured. This matter is as big as it gets, right?” Lian Ru Yue's eyes flashed with an ice-cold ray of light — —

Aunt, get ready.

Jiang Keji carried Emperor Zhou Cheng all the way to the shore. The eunuchs hurriedly carried their palanquins and rushed over. Everyone knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling. They were worried about the Emperor's safety, because the Emperor's safety was related to their heads.

Imperial Consort Su's face was pale to the point of almost fainting. Feng Wu Yao held her hand tightly. The mother and daughter pair had always been well-behaved, but now such a big matter was related to them.

Seeing Zhou Chengdi get off Jiang Keji's back, Feng Degui commanded several eunuchs to carry him onto the palanquin, causing his entire body to be drenched. The dragon robe was tightly pressed to his body, and the golden crown on his head had fallen off.

Zhou Cheng Di's forehead was broken by something on the ship, and a wound as thick as two fingers appeared. Blood was flowing out of the wound, and his face was full of blood. His face had a painful expression, and his mouth was choked with water.

His left calf was trembling uncontrollably for some reason.

Crap! The Emperor was injured!

Imperial Concubine Su's legs went soft and her vision turned black. If Feng Changyao hadn't supported her in time, she would have fallen to the ground. Her chest tightened and she almost lost her breath.

”Quick, escort the emperor back to Imperial Physician Yu Qing Palace!” ”Faster!” Feng De Gui's shrill voice was so frightened that it changed his tone.

”Yes sir!” Everyone lifted their palanquins and hastily walked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. In an instant, the entire palace was shrouded in dark clouds.

”Your Majesty! ”Your majesty!” Imperial Concubine Su stumbled along beside the carriage and ran pathetically towards the Imperial Palace.

She was the one who made the plans to swim in the lake, but there was suddenly such a big mess. If the emperor and empress dowager tried to pursue the matter, she wouldn't be able to escape responsibility! And if the emperor really did something bad happen to her, then all the hard work she had put in over these years would have all gone down the drain!

Not daring to think further, she could only pray that the Emperor was safe. When the time came, her guilt would not be so great.

”Father, Father, are you alright?” Feng Tang Yao was also frightened to the point of pallor. As she called out to her father, she began to cry out tears. She could tell from Shufei's nervous expression how serious the matter was.

On this side, under Feng Yunzheng's protection, even Moon finally landed on the shore. Her entire body was drenched, and her skirt was stuck to her body, exposing a curve at first glance. Feng Yunzheng's eyes flashed, and he turned his face away.

The two palace maids waiting by the shore quickly walked over, bowed to Feng Yunzheng, and then kneeled on the ground. Using their cloaks to cover Lian Rue Yue, they said:

”Eldest Miss, we are from Yi Xiu Palace. Imperial Concubine Su and the princess went to the Imperial Palace to accompany the emperor. We will help you to Yi Xiu Palace first.”
