The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 124 Princess Zhaoming pushed Miss Xia into the water!

Inside the main hall of the temple.

Pei Du knelt upright beneath the golden Buddha, holding the scriptures in his hand and reciting them softly.

Miaofeng stood to the side, looking at the tall and upright man, and spoke gently, "Is Your Excellency praying for all living beings?"

For some reason, Pei Du recalled last night when he kissed her lips and tongue. The girl asked him blankly, "But Bodhisattva, you were clearly kissing me."

There are no living beings there.

The man lowered his eyes slightly: "Yes."

His beings.

Miao Feng smiled and sighed helplessly: "The Empress Dowager is angry. The Grand Secretary could have simply apologized and been appeased."

Pei Du nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but said, "A mistake is a mistake. Even if the other party is the Empress Dowager, one should not be humble and subservient."

"In that case, Your Excellency will have to kneel in this hall for the entire day."

"It's nothing serious, thank you for your concern, Abbot."

Upon hearing this, Miaofeng smiled again, just about to say something more.

The next second—

"No, no! No! Her Highness the Princess and Miss Xia Yurong have fallen into the lotus pond!"

"Oh no!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"..."

Before Miaofeng could even react...

The man who had been kneeling upright before the Buddha had long since disappeared from the spot.

……

All sounds are silent.

The boy's words, which had been echoing in his mind, were instantly submerged and swallowed by the water.

Jiang Jinshuang squinted and looked in Xia Yurong's direction.

Seeing her fall into the water, Xia Yurong, having somehow regained her strength, struggled on the surface of the water, shouting "Help!"

Beside her, Hongyao, who obviously couldn't swim, was now being pulled into the water and was struggling frantically!

Her eyes widened in shock, and her face was deathly pale from choking on water.

It seemed that someone had been guarding the riverbank for some time.

Upon seeing her fall into the water, he shouted, "Oh no! Her Highness the Princess has pushed Miss Xia Yurong into the lotus pond!"

In an instant, the last bit of worry in my heart disappeared.

Jiang Jinshuang dislikes owing favors.

Besides, I owed someone my life back then.

Therefore, after returning to the capital, even if Xia Yurong overstepped her bounds and provoked her, she could turn a blind eye.

But now, Jiang Jinshuang doesn't think that way anymore.

The debt of gratitude for saving a life was repaid after Hongyao pushed her into the water.

The smiling face of the young boy who had asked her to take care of Xia Yurong, which she remembered, slowly faded away before her eyes.

Forget it.

—If she does something wrong, then come and take her life.

Anyway, she wouldn't indulge Xia Yurong in the slightest.

Jiang Jinshuang is quite good at swimming.

The lotus pond wasn't shallow, but it was still relatively easy for her.

With a nimble flip, Jiang Jinshuang prepared to swim towards the shore.

Behind her, a hand gripped her ankle tightly!
Jiang Jinshuang turned around abruptly and saw Hongyao almost suffocating, frantically grabbing her ankle as if grasping at some lifeline!
Jiang Jinshuang frowned slightly, a cold glint in her eyes.

—I don't really want to save them.

Although saving her was a convenient thing to do, Jiang Jinshuang wasn't stupid. She had just been pushed down by her, and she wasn't foolish enough to go and save the enemy!

Just as they were weighing their options, they heard a "plop"!
Then three or five more people jumped into the lotus pond.

They were several burly men.

At first, Jiang Jinshuang assumed they were there to rescue someone and ignored Hongyao, swimming towards the shore. —Since they were there to rescue someone, they would naturally rescue Hongyao.

But later, I realized something was wrong.

Those burly men were clearly coming for her!
Huguo Temple is a Buddhist temple. Even if they came to rescue people, they should be monks. However, these people had fierce eyes, were tall and strong, and did not look kind.

Jiang Jinshuang frowned slightly, intentionally trying to avoid them.

The men who came were excellent swimmers.

In no time, several men surrounded Jiang Jinshuang.

Today she wore a sheer, smoky blue long dress.

A beautiful, swaying gauze skirt floated on the water's surface, as if it had merged with the water.

The group exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

Several men grabbed Jiang Jinshuang's hands and feet, and the scarred man in the lead stepped forward, trying to hook his arm around Jiang Jinshuang's waist!

Seeing this, Jiang Jinshuang frowned slightly, flicked her tail to shake off the men who were entangled with her, and then kicked the scarred man away.

The first attempt failed, which angered the scarred man.

His eyes were filled with hatred, and the men behind him, seeing this, drew water-blade daggers from their waists!

Jiang Jinshuang was at a disadvantage in the water fight and wanted to escape!

But those few people were chasing her closely, and they seemed to be even better swimmers than she was!
The gauze dress she wore became a burden, and Jiang Jinshuang frowned slightly, pulling out the silver hairpin from her hair to deal with it!
Although she had the advantage in the fight, she had entered the water much earlier than the others, and the long entanglement left her with no time to breathe.

Those people seem to know how to alternate swimming for air, so it's really not an advantage to fight a protracted battle with them!

do not care.

Jiang Jinshuang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

—These people are courting death, so she doesn't need to show any mercy.

She no longer had the patience to think about keeping them alive.

Jiang Jinshuang tightened her grip on the silver hairpin and took the initiative, plunging the hairpin straight into the throat of one of the men. In the water, large clumps of blood bloomed like blood lotuses.

Upon seeing this, the men's expressions changed, and the scarred man in the lead became enraged, causing his men to become even more ruthless!
While she was entangled with the other men, Scarface circled behind Jiang Jinshuang, covered her mouth and nose, and removed her silver hairpin!
In an instant, other men swarmed forward, wanting to undress her!
With no strength left in her body, Jiang Jinshuang choked on some water and couldn't breathe.

Just then, there was the sound of someone else entering the water.

In the distance, she seemed to see a man in a blue robe swimming towards her.

Taking advantage of their momentary daze, Jiang Jinshuang swung her body and broke free from their grasp!

The newcomer grasped Jiang Jinshuang's wrist.

Jiang Jinshuang was slightly stunned, then suddenly turned around.

The next second, a cool, moist kiss landed on her lips.

For a moment, Jiang Jinshuang was stunned.

Some scenes from last night seemed to flash before my eyes.

There seems to be a Bodhisattva...

He held her waist with one hand and her chin with the other, making her lift her head to receive his kiss.

The face of the Bodhisattva overlapped with that of the man in front of him.

Jiang Jinshuang's eyes widened as she swallowed the contents of her mouth in one gulp.

The scarred man seized the opportunity and slashed at Jiang Jinshuang with his sword!

Pei Du turned over, and the dagger slashed open the back of his clothes!
Jiang Jinshuang heard the man groan.

With a furrowed brow, she used Pei Du's momentum to kick the scarred man away again!

Without stopping, Pei Du put his arm around his waist and swam towards the shore.

"Wow—"

We finally reached the water's edge.

Pei Du was injured in the back and had no strength left. Seeing this, Jiang Jinshuang grabbed his wrist and pulled him ashore!

She frowned and looked at the water. Several men struggled in the water for a while, and finally came ashore with Hongyao, who was already unconscious.

Turning her head to look into the distance, Xia Yurong had already been rescued by others. She was trembling all over, covered with a thick blanket, but she was staring intently at her and Pei Du.

Upon hearing the news, the Empress Dowager rushed over, but walked angrily to Jiang Jinshuang's side and raised her hand to slap her!
"Bastard thing!"

There was a "pop-" sound.

Before Jiang Jinshuang could even dodge, Pei Du, who was standing to the side, put one arm around Jiang Jinshuang's waist and grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand with the other, his face cold and stern.
