The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 42 Falling into the water

After half an incense stick of time, Zhao Hanming put down his brush and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He glanced at the other people with the corner of his eye, snorted with disdain, sat over and looked at Xue Yumei intimately, "Yumei, why don't you go paint? I remember that your paintings are as good as those of the painters in the palace."

"It's just an ordinary painting, how can it compare to yours, Hanming. The willow tree is so lifelike in your painting, as if you really painted a willow tree. It's so vivid," Xue Yumei pursed her lips and chuckled, giving a positive comment on her painting.

Hearing Xue Yumei's praise, Zhao Hanming said a few humble words, but the smugness in her eyes betrayed her good mood. She saw the two people sitting leisurely on the side with her peripheral vision, and curled her lips with a hint of sarcasm, "Why don't you show us your skills, Miss Xue San? Do you look down on us... or do you simply have no talent or skill?"

Chen Shanrong pinched the corner of her clothes, with a hint of anger on her beautiful face, "Sister Hanming, how can you say that about Zhiyu? She didn't offend you, why don't you let her go?"

Zhao Hanming then looked straight at Chen Shanrong, "Hey, why didn't I see you speak for her just now? Why are you pretending to be a good person now? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me in such a tone."

"I......"

Before Chen Shanrong could say anything, Xue Zhiyu nudged her with her elbow to signal her not to speak. She glanced at Zhao Hanming and said with her red lips, "Since Miss Zhao wants me to show myself so much, I'd better obey your order. However, I'm not very good at painting, so I'll just write a poem."

Zhao Hanming didn't expect her to agree so quickly, but thinking about what Yumei said to her, she thought she said that because she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she agreed without thinking. She wanted to see how someone who had never learned poetry, books, etiquette and the Book of Changes could write poetry.

Xue Zhiyu looked at the willow tree not far away, and after a moment's silence, she said, "The willow trees on the river bank are green and weedy. I want to ask about my new sorrows. Why do they come back every year?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her in disbelief. Even Xue Yumei, who had always been calm and composed, looked at her with eyes full of scrutiny and a hint of jealousy. She had to admit that the poem was indeed wonderful, but she still found it a little hard to accept that it came from the mouth of this little bitch.

Several complicated looks seemed to see a hole in her. Xue Zhiyu turned her head and ignored the gazes behind her, feeling the breeze from the lake gently caressing her cheeks. Although it was a little hot, it still made her relax.

Zhao Hanming and Xue Yumei exchanged glances, then coughed a few times reluctantly and said, "Miss Xue San's poem is very good. I will give you this jade hairpin. You must keep it well."

He took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve and motioned for her to come over and get it.

Xue Zhiyu didn't know what she was up to, so she walked over and took the jade hairpin from her hand, "Thank you very much, Miss Zhao. I will definitely keep it well."

Zhao Hanming nodded and didn't say anything else, which made Xue Zhiyu a little confused for a moment. What on earth did this girl want to do?

Chen Shanrong looked at Xue Zhiyu with admiration, leaned over and whispered, "Zhiyu, you are amazing. It seems that there is nothing you can't do. You can treat illnesses and compose poems. If a man marries you, it will be his blessing."

Xue Zhiyu poked her forehead without any hesitation, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "You, there is no perfect person in the world who knows everything. These are just the things I am good at. Study hard and don't think about unnecessary things."

"I'll be an adult soon, I'm not still a child at all," Chen Shanrong rubbed her forehead and pouted in retort.

......

Soon it was noon, and Zhao Hanming told them to go back to their rooms to rest for a while and then come out for dinner.

After going up to the second floor, Xue Zhiyu walked all the way to the end before she saw the rooms on the side. Then she looked at the distance from the stairs, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and without saying anything, she pushed the door and walked in.

"Zhiyu, so you are here. Sister Yumei said you like quietness, so I won't arrange the first floor for you."

Chen Shanrong walked in and looked around. She pushed open the window and looked down. She was so scared that her legs almost went limp. Her face turned pale and her voice trembled. "This... this looks so high. It would be terrible if you fell down. Why don't you change the room? This... this is too dangerous."

Xue Zhiyu heard her say that and followed her to take a look. She didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she had jumped into the water before, so this height was nothing to her. However...

"It was my elder sister who told you that I like quietness. As expected of me, she really understands me. After all, the quieter the better," she said with a smile that showed an ambiguous meaning.

Chen Shanrong didn't notice anything was wrong inside, and thought she really liked quietness. After closing the window for her, she continued, "Then don't get too close to the window. If you have anything, you can call me. My room is the one facing the stairs. By the way, this is a sachet for you. I'm afraid you are not used to resting on the boat."

Xue Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then she took it and smelled it, and it turned out to be nothing serious, just a common remedy for seasickness. "Thank you, Shanrong."

Chen Shanrong was stunned for a moment, then she responded and smiled even brighter, "It's okay, as long as it's useful to you. Call me if you need anything. I'll leave first."

"it is good."

After everyone left, Xue Zhiyu walked to the window and looked around. The boat was now in the middle of the lake, which was a bit difficult since it was not close to the shore.

After watching for a while and preparing to sit down to rest, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her limbs began to tense up. Xue Zhiyu supported herself on the small table by the window with one hand.

Humph, it seems that the attack has occurred, but why can't I muster up the energy? I don't know why I thought of the sachet. Xue Zhiyu pulled it over and smelled it, then she realized that she was careless!

There is nothing wrong with the sachet itself, but it will have other effects when mixed with the tea you just mixed.

Feeling her strength gradually draining away, Xue Zhiyu bit the corner of her lip hard, took out a Baijie Pill from her sleeve, swallowed one, and then put it back into her sleeve.

Faintly hearing a man's voice at the door, Xue Zhiyu chuckled sarcastically. They were indeed sisters, their ideas were equally dirty.

After she recovered a little strength, she sat at the table and pretended to take a nap. Since the man had worked so hard to arrange this good show for her, she had to cooperate with him.

Sure enough, the sound of the door being pushed open was heard, followed by two slightly obscene voices, "This girl is sleeping soundly."

"Shh, keep your voice down and don't make too much noise," the other man still had some concerns and reminded softly.

"Don't worry, just cover her mouth," the man who spoke at the beginning rubbed his hands slyly, walked forward and wanted to make some moves.

The other man didn't make a move. He narrowed his eyes and observed Xue Zhiyu carefully. Just when the man was about to make a move, he said in a deep voice, "Wait! This girl is still awake, don't go over there."

The man who had already moved closer snorted and glanced at Xue Zhiyu again, "You are kidding me, this girl can obviously fall asleep, I don't believe it," and then he put his big hand on Xue Zhiyu.

The person who was originally asleep suddenly opened his eyes, took out a jade hairpin from his sleeve, and stabbed it into his palm with all his strength.

"Ah!!!" The man covered his palm which was oozing with blood and kicked Xue Zhiyu aside. His eyes were already bloodshot and he walked over and slapped her with his other hand.

"How dare you, bitch, hurt me? I'm going to kill you later!"

Being kicked into the corner unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyu covered her waist and spurted out a mouthful of blood. She sneered and said, "I guess someone hired you to do this, and that person is Miss Xue."

Before the man could speak, the man on the other side came over, squatted down and pinched her chin, his eyes as big as green beans full of brilliance, "You are very smart and want to trick us into talking. I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to us," she gave the man a look, and the man squatted down after understanding.

A large hand grabbed her collar and tore it open. Xue Zhiyu's eyes widened involuntarily, and her hands were pinned down, unable to move.

The man hurriedly took off his coat and quickly moved forward. Looking at her skin as white as mutton-fat jade, his face was full of lewd smiles.

Xue Zhiyu's eyes were filled with hatred. When her strength had almost recovered, she raised her foot and kicked the man on her body.

He turned around and threw the man who was holding his hand over his shoulder, then covered his clothes with his hands, gritted his teeth, opened the window and jumped out.

The man with green eyes rubbed his sore back, looked at the man next to him who was in pain from being kicked, and said to the door, "Come in."

A woman walked in slowly from the side. It was none other than Xue Yumei.

He looked up at the window, a smile that was close to madness appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at the man and said, "As expected of you, you are my subordinate. Everything is going according to plan."

Xue Zhiyu jumped down from the second floor. Her strength had been depleted in the struggle just now, but she didn't want to die like this, so she tried to use up her last bit of strength to paddle.

Oxygen was also being lost, and Xue Zhiyu felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and finally she passed out. She still remembered that when she was about to pass out, a figure swam towards her, but she couldn't see clearly, and she fainted as her head tilted.
