Chapter 364: The Cold Tyrant & the Scheming Concubine 8
thump--

Huge splashes of water occurred, and the concubines and palace maids standing beside the lotus pond were stunned. Lu Ru and others could not believe it. They were clearly still talking just now, and in the blink of an eye, people fell into the pond?

"Miss!"

Lu Ru yelled, "Someone come and help me." She looked at Concubine Hui and said, "If anything happens to my queen, Concubine Hui, you are the culprit."

Concubine Hui opened her mouth and said, "I, I didn't, I didn't push her." But at this time even Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen looked distrustful of her, saying that it was just a quarrel, how could she push someone into the water.

It's autumn now, if you catch a cold, it will be fatal.

Concubine Hui frowned and gritted her teeth. Damn Lin Xiruo. Just now she was still wondering if she was bullied by the emperor every day so that she finally repented and turned to good. But she ended up using a shady trick and fell in front of everyone, causing people to misunderstand her.

The woman in the lake struggled and called for help, but there were only palace maids and concubines around her, none of whom could swim, and the water was so cold that no one dared to go in.

Lu Ru could only ask the palace maids to find a maid or eunuch who could swim to rescue the person.

Seeing that Linzhi's cries were getting weaker and weaker, her body was trapped among the broken lotus leaves and branches, the water gradually submerged her head, and she sank into the water.

"Your Majesty, shall we go over there?" The chief eunuch asked carefully when he saw the emperor staring at that direction.

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything and just walked over.

"My ladies, what happened?"

Everyone soon heard the eunuch's voice and turned to see the emperor standing not far away. They all turned pale and knelt down. Concubine Hui, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Chen also knelt down to greet him. Lu Ru hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my queen fell into the water."

Xiao Yuan raised his lips: "So you are just watching here, waiting for her to die?"

Lu Ru looked at a loss: "No one here knows how to swim."

Xiao Yuan chuckled, and the chief eunuch said to the two eunuchs, "You go." The two eunuchs jumped into the water without any hesitation, but one of them couldn't swim at all, and the other couldn't find anyone for a long time. As expected, the chief eunuch saw that His Majesty's face was gloomy, and secretly cursed them for not being able to do such a small thing.

Xiao Yuan stared at the pink corner of the clothes disappearing completely in the lake, his eyes dark and no one knew what he was thinking. The chief eunuch was about to speak when he saw him suddenly take off his cloak and throw it on the ground, then stride over.

There was a moment of astonishment, and everyone shouted "Your Majesty" and ran to the railing. They then saw the emperor dive into the water and disappear.

Lin Zhi was not sure whether the emperor would save her. According to his sinister nature, he might be happier if she drowned him. However, she thought of the way his mother died, also in pink clothes, on such an autumn day, and he was haunted by that dream every day.

That's why I took a gamble.

Of course, she secretly calculated the time it would take for the old woman to come. If the emperor did not rescue her, she could be rescued before she took her last breath by waiting for the people Lu Ru called.

However, being submerged in the lake was not a pleasant experience. I fell completely into the water, feeling farther and farther away from the surface. Water from all directions poured into my mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more severe.

Just as her consciousness was becoming blurred, a figure jumped into the water and swam towards her.

The man gradually approached, his cold features became clearer and filled her field of vision. Lin Zhi said, "Your Majesty." She stretched out her arms to him, and then he suddenly grabbed her waist and turned to swim towards the surface of the water.

The two of them burst out of the water.

At this time, many people had come to the shore, and the maids and eunuchs jumped into the water to catch him, but Lin Zhi held him too tightly, so they could only wait until he swam to the shore before pulling him ashore. "Your Majesty!" The chief eunuch hurried over and put the cloak on him.

Lu Ru and the others were about to take Lin Zhi over, but they found that they couldn't pull her apart at all, and they didn't dare to use much force. They could only look at His Majesty. Xiao Yuan lowered his head and grasped the hands wrapped around his waist, pulled them apart, and threw the person onto them. Several people hurriedly caught her.

"My queen, my queen?" he called anxiously.

Lin Zhi opened her eyes with difficulty, but she looked at Xiao Yuan and said weakly, "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yuan glanced at her, water dripping down his face, his sharp eyebrows looked even more fierce at the moment, looking at her coldly, Lin Zhi's clothes were already soaked, and because of the water, her face became paler, her chest heaving with gasping, the whole person was almost fainted.

He glanced at Concubine Hui who was standing beside him.

Concubine Hui was already on the verge of collapse. When he pushed her, her knees went weak and she knelt down, trembling: "Your Majesty, I didn't push her, she jumped down by herself!" Thinking of the emperor's past methods, she hated Lin Xiruo, the bitch, even more.

The chief eunuch sneered, "Empress Hui, I have just heard that it was you who pushed Empress Yi down, and now you dare to lie to His Majesty."

"I didn't!" She looked at others anxiously.

But at that time, she and Lin Zhi were standing closest to each other, and the others were behind her, blocked from view. Lu Ru and the others were not close to Lin Zhi and were already a few steps away, so they all thought it was her who pushed her.

My mind was so angry that I could only say over and over again: "It's not me, it's this bitch. She has bad intentions and deliberately plotted against me."

"Your Majesty." Lin Zhi spoke in a weak voice, "Sister Huifei is right. I jumped down by myself. I don't blame her."

Concubine Hui immediately said, "Look, she admitted it herself!"

The other people looked at her with increasingly disapproving eyes, and Concubine Chen couldn't help but say, "Concubine Hui, you and Concubine Yi have always had a grudge against each other, and now we have seen with our own eyes that you pushed her, so it's no use to quibble."

Concubine Hui was so angry that she almost died: "You were all deceived by her. She planned all this. She is..."

"enough."

Xiao Yuan felt his head hurt again at this moment: "I don't care whether you are plotting or not. If you want to die next time, go to a place where there is no one." He glanced at Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi lowered her head silently.

"As for you, since you are so idle every day, why don't you write the Buddhist scriptures ten times every day and hand them in before the end of the month. If I find out, ask the palace servants for help, haha." He sneered twice, turned around, and the steward hurriedly followed with the others.

Concubine Hui and the others were stunned. Copying Buddhist scriptures ten times? And Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen, they just happened to be here to sit around and didn't do anything, why should they be punished too?
Lu Ru supported Lin Zhi and said, "My Lady, are you okay? We will help you back."

Lin Zhi nodded and let them help her up and prepared to go back. Concubine Hui quickly stopped her, "You plotted against me, and you want to leave like this?" Her face was full of anger, "I didn't expect that you would use His Majesty to plot against me!"

Lin Zhi looked at her hesitantly, lowered her head and said, "Whatever Sister Huifei says is the truth. Luru, let's go." Without any rebuttal, she left.

She just wanted to plot against Concubine Hui on purpose. In the plot, the original owner was often bullied by her. Once when she was walking with the original owner, she deliberately broke the bracelet in her hand, and the original owner didn't pay attention and stepped on it and fell.

In the end, Concubine Hui asked her to compensate for the bracelet. So today she will teach her a small lesson. In the future, she will return everything she did to the original owner.

Concubine Hui behind him screamed angrily: "Lin Xiruo, I'm not done with you!"

She hooked her lips.
