Chu Rui's words were like a handful of salt sprinkled on the wound that Chu Ziyu had just suffered from being crushed by the Queen Mother.

He violently waved away Chu Rui's hand, his body shaking violently with extreme anger and humiliation. He subconsciously stepped back, wanting to get away from this disgusting feeling.

"Go away!"

"Boss, don't retreat, you're going to fall into the lake."

"Let it go. I should use this body to warm Xiao An's heart. Whoever loves can live this oppressive life."

Just a few steps behind me is the shimmering Taiye Lake, reflecting the dead branches of winter.

Suddenly my feet felt empty!

The cold touch instantly spread from the ankles upwards!

"Uh!"

Chu Ziyu's pupils suddenly shrank, his scream was strangled in his throat, he lost his balance and fell backwards!

"Plop——!"

There was a sudden explosion with a heavy splash of water.

Chu Rui on the shore, after his initial surprise, actually showed a satisfied and cruel smile on his face.

Instead of calling for help immediately, he leisurely brushed off his sleeves as if he had just flicked away an annoying insect.

"Tsk, why is your majesty so careless?"

Watching Chu Ziyu struggling miserably in the lake, he felt indescribably happy.

But he also knew that Chu Ziyu was the supreme ruler after all, and if an accident happened here, no one could escape.

He quickly ruffled his collar and cuffs, and even deliberately rubbed his boots on the wet mud at the edge of the pool.

He suddenly raised his voice, his tone filled with panic and worry, and shouted to the palace servants who rushed over after hearing the noise: "Quick! Help! His Majesty has fallen into the water! Quick!"

The eunuchs who could swim jumped into the freezing lake one after another without taking off their clothes, swimming hard towards the dark figure whose struggle was gradually weakening.

I saw a few of them still standing there in a daze.

He urged them harshly, his tone extremely anxious, as if he were deeply worried. "What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and go save them! If anything happens to His Majesty, how many heads will you have left to chop off?!"

Soon there was no one else on the shore except Chu Rui.

After doing all this, he took two steps back, his face still maintaining a "shocked" expression, but his eyes were staring coldly at the chaotic scene.

Watching the dark figure being dragged ashore, he sneered in his heart.

"You are lucky, Your Majesty. We have a long way to go."

(Boss, this Chu Rui is quite shrewd.)

(That's right! Look at how skilled he is at shifting blame and shifting the blame.)

A young eunuch, soaked and pale with fear, rolled and crawled, almost using both his hands and feet to rush towards the imperial study.

No one dared to stop him along the way. He rushed straight out of the palace and was stopped by Lin Ci'an's personal guards.

"Get out of here! Urgent military information! No... it's His Majesty! His Majesty fell into the water! In Taiye Lake!"

The young eunuch spoke incoherently, his voice became shrill and out of tune, and he collapsed to the ground.

The guard's face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed inside.

Inside the hall, Lin Ci'an, feeling uneasy, was reviewing memorials, but his red pen did not move.

The guard didn't even have time to perform a full ceremony. He knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse with extreme nervousness: "Your Highness! Urgent news from Taiye Lake! Your Majesty... Your Majesty has accidentally fallen into the water!"

"Click——"

An extremely crisp cracking sound was heard.

The priceless purple-hair brush in Lin Ci'an's hand was actually broken by him!

The bright red cinnabar splattered on his pale fingers and the bright yellow memorial like blood, which was shocking.

The wide sleeves overturned the pen holder and inkstone on the table, which fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and ink splashed everywhere.

Lin Ci'an didn't even ask another question. His face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He stepped over the desk in one step.

When the kneeling guard was startled by the sound of shattering porcelain and subconsciously looked up—

There was no one in front of the case.
