They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

thump!

thump!

Two consecutive sounds startled everyone.

Just as Jiang Wanyue and Wei Fuxue fell into the pool, two figures, one far and one near, rushed over and jumped in without hesitation.

In the chaos, Jiang Wanyue felt a hand grabbing her arm.

"Wan'er, are you okay?"

The voice was filled with anxiety and worry, yet also extremely familiar.

Jiang Wanyue was in a trance for a moment, thinking that she was still in her previous life.

But she came to her senses immediately, broke free from his hand and took two steps back.

"Men and women should not touch each other, please step back, Mr. Lin."

Lin Shuyan listened to her cold words, his heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by five or six hands, and his face turned pale.

Jiang Wanyue had stabilized her body. She was not in a hurry to go to the shore, but turned around to look for Wei Fuxue.

Wei Fuxue was not far behind her.

But at this moment, she was held in the arms of a figure.

He is also someone Jiang Wanyue is extremely familiar with.

Prince Jing.

A critical moment is enough to reveal a person's true heart.

The water in the pond was not actually deep, as Jiang Wanyue knew when she fell in. But Prince Jing was so concerned that he didn't notice this.

If others saw this scene and saw their husband saving others first in a critical moment, they would probably be furious.

But Jiang Wanyue’s first reaction was that things should not be made worse.

So she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Go and save Princess Qi!"

Then she deliberately splashed the water a few times and finally woke Prince Jing up.

Seeing Prince Jing looking at her, Jiang Wanyue pretended to be exhausted and sank down.

The water was over my head.

At this moment, all sounds became distant, and the people and objects in sight became blurred.

Everything seems unreal.

She held her breath for a while before she felt movement behind her.

Then he closed his eyes with relief.

At this moment, the only thing she was thankful for was that the hot spring pool was filled with white mist, and people outside could not see clearly what was happening in the pool. At that time, she could say that Prince Jing had recognized the wrong person.

No scandal will break out.

If people found out at this time that Prince Jing secretly loved Princess Qi, it would be disastrous.

All of Prince Jing’s advantages will be destroyed as a result.

What she expected might very well come to nothing.

As for Lin Shuyan...

She could only say sorry in her heart.

It all happened so fast, so fast that before anyone could see what was happening, Prince Jing had already walked out of the pool holding Jiang Wanyue.

At the same time, Wei Fuxue was pulled ashore from the other side by the maids.

She was still in shock, her face as pale as paper, but she still looked across.

No one knows what is in her mind.

The King of Qi did not arrive until this time.

"Xue'er, are you okay?"

He didn't think much about it.

He was far away from the pool and had his back to it, so he didn't see what was going on in the pool at all.

Even if the others saw Prince Jing jump down first to save Princess Qi, they would not be stupid enough to speak at this time.

Wei Fuxue suddenly woke up at this time, grabbed the King of Qi's hand and said earnestly.

"Thanks to Sister Jiang for helping me, I didn't get hurt, Your Majesty."

The King of Qi patted her back gently.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

He looked back at Prince Jing and Jiang Wanyue who had fainted in his arms, then asked the servants to settle her down.

In the chaos, no one noticed Lin Shuyan climbing out of the pool.

I don’t know how long it took, but Jiang Wanyue slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Xiuchun pounced on her.

"Miss, you are finally awake."

Jiang Wanyue covered her chest and coughed a few times, then sat up and smiled at Xiuchun.

"I'm fine, I just choked on some water. How's things going outside? Where's Princess Qi?"

Xiuchun sat closer, stroked her back, and started talking.

"There's a commotion outside. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is interrogating someone! I heard that someone deliberately harmed Princess Qi. The wooden planks on the platform were just checked two days ago. They shouldn't have broken so quickly. The guests have all gone to the guest rooms. The prince is very angry and followed His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to the interrogation."

"Princess Qi is fine, she is better than you. The doctor from Prince Qi's mansion has come to see you. The maid is boiling some medicine and will bring it to you soon."

After Xiuchun finished speaking, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It frightened the servant."

Jiang Wanyue glanced outside the door.

Xiuchun didn't say anything, so no one should suspect Prince Jing and Wei Fuxue.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiuchun looked at her with a conflicted expression, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Jiang Wanyue patted her head.

"Why are you like this?"

Xiuchun bit her lip and spoke in a very low voice.

"Master Lin also jumped down just now to save you. But the prince...others didn't see it, but I saw it clearly. The prince went straight to Princess Qi and didn't care about you at all."

Xiuchun tried her best to suppress it, but there was still a hint of grievance in her voice.

She felt sorry for her young lady.

Jiang Wanyue took her hand.

"You feel sad because I'm devoted to the prince but his heart is not with me, right? Actually, there's no need to be sad."

Xiuchun raised her head.

Jiang Wanyue curled the corners of her mouth.

"Prince Jing and I are the same, and neither of us owes the other anything. I entered Prince Jing's mansion only to save my family, and he doted on me only because he was happy for a moment. There is no real love between us, so how can there be any debt?"

Xiuchun opened her mouth, her face full of shock.

"But……"

Jiang Wanyue interrupted her.

"Xiuchun, as a woman, especially a concubine, the most taboo is to have real feelings. Once you fall in love, your heart will not be calm. If your heart is not calm, you will not be able to make the right judgment. You cannot afford to take a wrong step on this road."

The shock in Xiuchun's eyes faded a little, but she still couldn't help but speak.

"But I still feel sorry for you."

"Silly girl, why are you feeling wronged? Isn't this a good opportunity to take advantage of?"

Jiang Wanyue stretched out her arms.

"Go and take the medicine. We'll go back after you take it."

Xiuchun said "hmm" softly, then stood up and walked out.

She came back soon, but when she came back, there were two more people beside her, holding clothes and jewelry in their hands. As soon as they entered the room, they knelt down and saluted to Jiang Wanyue.

"I am here on the orders of the princess to deliver something to Aunt Jiang."

The two said in unison.

Jiang Wanyue smiled and waved to the two of them.

"Put it down! How is your princess?"

She looked concerned.

The two maids answered very appropriately.

"The princess is fine now. She wanted to come to visit Aunt Jiang in person, but as you can see, the farm is in chaos and someone is trying to murder her. The prince is worried about her safety, so he sent us here. I hope Aunt Jiang will forgive me."

As they spoke, the two bowed again.

Jiang Wanyue hurriedly asked the two of them to get up and asked about the princess's condition. After a few pleasantries, the two maids withdrew.

Jiang Wanyue watched the two figures disappear with a frown on her face.

"Xiuchun, help me put on my clothes quickly. I don't want to take the medicine anymore. Let's go now."

Xiuchun's heart tightened, but without asking any questions, she closed the door and immediately came over to help her dress.
