I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Having been in classes for more than half a month and leading a peaceful and regular life, Yang Liu almost thought she was a native of the country.

But how could such a stable life be maintained in a novel where the heroine has a tragic early life?

……

"Jin Yuan, what did you do...?"

Yang Liu looked in disbelief at the Fourth Prince Liu Chaohe who was struggling desperately for help in the lotus pond. There was no other palace servants waiting by his side, and there was no one around except Liu Jinyuan.

"Sister, I didn't push him down." Liu Jinyuan looked at Yang Liu with innocent and pure eyes, as if saying 'It's none of my business'.

"Then how did he get down there?" Yang Liu hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the person shouting for help, frowning and asking.

"Then why don't you go call someone?"

Seeing the Fourth Prince gradually becoming exhausted, Yang Liu knew that if she delayed any longer, he might really drown. However, she was also a small person, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

"But sister, you said not to meddle in things that have nothing to do with me, or I might get into trouble. Besides, I don't like him. He scolded me before." Liu Jinyuan blinked, looking like a good child.

"Stop talking and go call someone."

She said this so that she could avoid persecution in the future, but she didn't expect this silly girl to just watch quietly! Isn't this waiting for someone to frame her? I give in!

Yang Liu shook her head helplessly, quickly took off her clothes and went into the water except for a single layer of clothing. Fortunately, Liu Chaohe did not let her drift too far, and Yang Liu swam to him easily.

Strangely enough, the Fourth Prince has always been exceptionally thin and is even shorter than Liu Jinyuan who is of the same age.

"Fourth brother, don't move! I'll rescue you!"

When the Fourth Prince saw Yang Liu coming, he flapped his arms even more happily. He grabbed Yang Liu tightly as if she were a life-saving straw and pushed her into the water. Yang Liu choked on the water and almost died. She was pushed down by him. Yang Liu slapped him in the water in annoyance, then emerged from the water with great effort and reminded him vaguely.

"Don't move! It will sink in a moment!"

The Fourth Prince had been in the water for a while. After he burst out with force to grab Yang Liu, he had no strength left and gradually calmed down. Yang Liu took all her strength to push him ashore. Seeing that he had no strength left and was about to sink, Liu Jinyuan hurriedly held the Fourth Prince's back with one hand and grabbed Yang Liu's wrist with the other hand to drag the two of them to the shore.

"Sister, don't sleep!"

Liu Jinyuan noticed that Yang Liu's body was getting heavier and she panicked. Seeing that the Fourth Prince would not slide down any further, she hurriedly grabbed Yang Liu with both hands and pulled her to the shore. While waiting for the people in the Fourth Prince's palace to shout and come over, three of them were lying down. Liu Jinyuan knelt beside Yang Liu and clumsily imitated the way Yang Liu pressed her before, but there was no response.

"Oh my God! The second princess and the third princess! What happened to the fourth prince?" The palace servant who was not there just now but suddenly appeared again suddenly shouted.

The maid screamed in surprise and hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial physician, then pointed at Liu Jinyuan in shock. "Third Princess! Even though my fourth prince has a grudge against you, you can't push my fourth prince into trouble!"

The palace maid deliberately raised her voice to make the people who came immediately confirm the fact that Liu Jinyuan pushed people, and they began to discuss and accuse him in low voices.

"No wonder he is disliked. He is so cruel and ruthless at such a young age..."

"That's right. He even caused the second princess to drown. What a disaster."

While listening to those people whispering, Liu Jinyuan held Yang Liu and patted her face helplessly to wake her up. In desperation, he pressed Yang Liu's chest hard, and she coughed twice, turned over and spit out the water she had choked on.

"cough……"

Yang Liu almost died. Her throat and nose were burning from choking on water. When she opened her blurry eyes, she saw Liu Jinyuan with two golden beads on his face, looking at her with surprise.

"Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Yang Liu coughed twice and her voice became hoarse. When she raised her hand to wipe Liu Jinyuan's tears, the water in her ears came out. Then she heard the people around her gossiping.

"Whether he was pushed or fell into the water by himself, we will know when the Fourth Prince wakes up. Be careful if you gossip about others, or you will have your tongue pulled out!"

Yang Liu sat up. The imperial physician had already rushed over. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince was not seriously injured, but he choked on the water and was frightened, and fainted. Yang Liu was relieved to see that he was fine. She turned to look at Liu Jinyuan again. She was still kneeling there, frowning. Her face, which originally had a hint of innocence, was full of surprise. She seemed not to understand why those people framed her and spoke ill of her.

"It's okay, Jin Yuan. Those who are innocent will be innocent. Don't listen to their nonsense."

Yang Liu reached out and pulled her up, picked up her clothes one by one and put them on, and did not forget to ask the maid who had rushed over to follow the Fourth Prince's men and keep watch to prevent anyone from doing anything bad.

"Jinyuan, didn't I ask you to call someone before? Why are you still here?" Yang Liu touched Liu Jinyuan's head with heartache.

"I'm worried about you." Liu Jinyuan grabbed Yang Liu's clothes tightly, stared at her with round eyes, and said very seriously.

Yang Liu was stunned for a moment.

She asked Liu Jinyuan to call people in order to avoid her being falsely accused. Even if someone with ulterior motives came, they would not be able to find a reason to put the blame on her. The girl was slow to begin with, and if no one defended her, she would probably suffer.

Before the truth comes out, there will inevitably be discussions and accusations, and even worse, there will be punishment and hindrance. The scene before our eyes is a glaring fact.

I just didn't expect the little girl to not go, but luckily she didn't go and helped, otherwise she would have to call the system again...

Yang Liu looked coldly at the group of people who didn't dare to talk openly but still looked at Liu Jinyuan with disgust and blame, and she couldn't help feeling frightened.

"What are you all standing there for? Don't you have anything to do?"

Yang Liu shouted coldly, and the group of people suddenly realized that the person in front of them was not a pushover. They immediately apologized and left in all directions.

"elder sister."

"what happened?"

"nothing."

"I'm glad you're okay. Let's go back to the palace."

After saying that, Yang Liu pulled Liu Jinyuan back. She still had some things to ask Liu Jinyuan, but this was not a good place. Walls have ears, so it was better to be careful.

……

"Jinyuan, why are you alone over there in the lotus pond?" After leading Liu Jinyuan back to her room, Yang Liu locked the door and pulled Liu Jinyuan to sit at the table and asked.

"A palace maid came to tell me. She said the Fourth Prince asked me to come over to pick lotus pods with him, and said that you should be there too, sister. So I went..." Liu Jinyuan thought for a moment and spoke.

"Do you remember what that maid looked like? Was she the one who served Fourth Brother?"

Yang Liu pondered, this was obviously aimed at Liu Jinyuan, and even more so at the Fourth Prince. If she hadn't come to find Liu Jinyuan specifically, she would probably have been in trouble today.

Liu Jinyuan nodded and said, "It was the palace maid who came here. She said she was new to Fourth Brother, but I have never seen her before."
