You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"thump---"

“Help! Help…!”

Beside the lotus pond, a little girl about ten years old was suddenly pushed into the water with a splash.

When the man who pushed her saw her fall into the water, he looked around in panic and ran away in shame.

What is even more terrifying is that, apart from that person, there was no one else around the little girl.

Judging from the girl's extremely luxurious dress, she should be the child of some important person and her status is very noble.

Logically speaking, such a young girl with such an unusual identity should be the apple of her parents' eyes.

It is like a pearl in the palm of your hand, and you are afraid it will melt if you hold it in your mouth.

But she didn't even have a maid by her side, let alone a guard.

This was really suspicious, and Du Qingwan was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Miss, should we go over and rescue them?"

Seeing the little girl struggling desperately in the water and Du Qingwan standing there in a daze without saying a word, Zhao'er was worried that the little girl would drown, so he hurriedly asked.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Saving people is the most important thing! Quick!"

Hearing this, Du Qingwan suddenly came to her senses and ran over as she spoke, extremely anxious.

Seeing this, Zhao'er didn't have time to think about it and quickly followed.

The two men came to the place where the little girl fell into the water. They looked extremely panicked and didn't know how to rescue her for a moment.

Du Qingwan has been afraid of water since she was a child, and has never saved anyone from drowning.

At this time, I was already overwhelmed and my head was buzzing.

"Miss, what should we do now? She...she is dying!"

Zhao'er was at a loss as to what to do and stood beside Du Qingwan, feeling anxious.

Du Qingwan had no choice but to grab the hem of her skirt with both hands until it hurt.

"Someone come! Come and rescue Princess Yunluo! Princess Yunluo has fallen into the water!"

Just then, a little eunuch suddenly appeared from behind the two of them.

He pointed at the little girl in the water in panic and shouted for help.

In just a few seconds, Zhou Heng arrived with a group of guards.

"What are you still standing there for? Go down and save Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Seeing Princess Yunluo give up struggling and slowly sink, Zhou Heng quickly ordered several guards to go into the water to rescue her.

Upon hearing the sound, the two guards jumped into the pool without saying a word.

Fortunately, the lotus pond was originally an ornamental pond and the water depth was no more than one and a half meters.

The two of them could stand in the pool and carry Princess Yunluo to shore.

"Your Highness, please wake up, wake up! Your Highness..."

Princess Yunluo drank a lot of water after falling into the water. She is now in a deep coma and unconscious.

Zhou Heng called out loudly several times, but there was no sign that Princess Yunluo was waking up. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Your Highness! You must not die! Your Highness! Wuwu..."

"It's all my fault for not serving you well enough, allowing you to be brutally murdered by the villain! Woo woo..."

Just then, two maids came hurriedly, crying loudly.

It seems that the two of them should be Princess Yunluo's personal maids.

[Oh my god! She is actually Princess Yunluo? The dog emperor’s beloved daughter!]

[Isn’t she too cute? What a pity…]

Du Qingwan didn't figure out what was going on from beginning to end. She was busy saving people and her brain hadn't rested at all.

When he learned that the little girl who fell into the water was Zhu Yunhao's most beloved Princess Yunluo, he was extremely surprised.

What made her feel completely confused was that she hadn't reacted yet.

Zhou Heng suddenly ordered people to arrest her and Zhao'er, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Catch her for me! Beat her to death immediately!"

At Zhou Heng's command, several people quickly held down Du Qingwan's shoulders.

She was instantly unable to move and her shoulder was in severe pain.

"How dare you, Zhou Heng! How dare you arrest me? I am the queen! The one chosen by the queen mother!"

Du Qingwan was stunned for only three seconds before she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly brought up Empress Dowager Qiao.

Right now in the harem, only Empress Dowager Qiao can protect her.

But Zhou Heng didn't care. He sneered and angrily said:

"Empress?! If the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty just like any commoner! So what if you are the Empress?

You just killed Princess Yunluo. Even if the Queen Mother comes, she will punish you with death! Take you away!"

Zhou Heng just checked Princess Yunluo's breath and confirmed that she had no signs of life.

Thinking that there was no one else beside the lotus pond except a little eunuch calling for help after Princess Yunluo fell into the water, he insisted that it was Du Qingwan who pushed Princess Yunluo into the water with the intention of murdering her.

As everyone knows, Princess Yunluo is Zhu Yunhao's most beloved daughter.

Whoever intends to harm her will surely die.

Du Qingwan is no exception.

What's more, Du Qingwan was just an unpopular and deposed queen, and Zhou Heng was not afraid of her at all.

"Who of you dares? I have a way to save the princess. When she wakes up, everything will be revealed!"

Du Qingwan had had several fights with Zhou Heng before, and she knew very well how powerful he was. Now she could only find a way to clear herself of the grievances.

It has only been about five minutes since Princess Yunluo fell into the water.

She was unconscious for only two minutes. She must have choked on a lot of water, causing brain deprivation of oxygen.

It should still be possible to rescue it.

"Why should I believe you? The princess is dead..."

Zhou Heng glared at Du Qingwan fiercely, with no intention of letting her try at all, his eyes were extremely sharp.

But before he could finish his words, Du Qingwan suddenly broke free from the guards, quickly ran to Princess Yunluo, and began cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Everyone present was stunned, their eyes wide with shock.

They had never seen anyone pressing hard on the chest to save someone, so they all believed that Du Qingwan was deliberately insulting Princess Yunluo's body.

"How dare you, Du Qingwan! You actually maliciously destroyed the princess's body!

This commander will kill you right now to avenge the princess!"

Zhou Heng was the commander of the Imperial Guards, so he would not tolerate Du Qingwan's rash behavior and quickly drew his sword and pointed it at her.

At this moment, Du Qingwan's mind was blank and her heart was in a mess.

She was determined to save Princess Yunluo and clear her own grievances.

How could I have time to continue chatting nonsense with Zhou Heng?

"vomit---"

When the cold blade was about to pierce Du Qingwan's back, Princess Yunluo reacted miraculously and a lot of clear water sprayed out of her mouth.

"Princess? The princess is awake! She's really awake!"

"Princess? Do you still recognize me? I am Linglong, princess?"

Upon seeing this, the two maids hurriedly called out in sobbing voices.

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, looking bewildered and at a loss as to what to do.

He quickly retracted his sword, squatted down and helped Princess Yunluo up.

"Princess, are you really awake? Are you okay?"

Fearing that Princess Yunluo was just having a last burst of energy, Zhou Heng hurriedly asked a few more questions, but his tense face gradually relaxed a little.

The murderous intent was not as strong as before.

"Don't worry, she's fine now. Send her back quickly, change her clothes, and ask the imperial physician to prescribe some warming medicine for her."

Du Qingwan smiled indifferently, thinking that everything was fine, and turned around to leave.

But Zhou Heng drew his sword again to stop him.

"Du Qingwan, even if the princess has been saved, you can't escape the suspicion of murdering her!

Take her to jail immediately and wait for the emperor to personally decide her fate!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhou Heng finished speaking, two imperial guards stepped forward and reached out to grab Du Qingwan.

"Wait! Let's see who dares?"

At this moment, Queen Mother Qiao's voice suddenly came from behind them.

She was accompanied by a group of maids and guards, and her face looked very ugly.
