After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Zeng Yulan was dizzy and dazed from the fall. She felt as if her buttocks were broken into several pieces and it hurt terribly.

She gnashed her teeth and raised her head, glaring at Yan Qingwan fiercely, pointing her finger at him with trembling hands, and cursed in disbelief: "You...how dare you treat me like this? You bitch, just wait for me, I won't let you go!"

The corners of Yan Qingwan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

She was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks when she suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps and a group of people chatting not far away.

Yan Qingwan's eyes turned cold and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

She glanced at Zeng Yulan lying on the ground, said nothing, turned around and left decisively without any hesitation.

Zeng Yulan, who was still lying on the ground, opened her eyes wide and looked at Yan Qingwan's departing back in disbelief.

She could never have imagined that Yan Qingwan would let her go so easily.

But then, the rage in her heart grew even stronger.

She clenched her fists with gritted teeth, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

She swore that she would make Yan Qingwan pay the price!

After leaving, Yan Qingwan continued to walk slowly around the lotus pond, his thoughts starting to wander far away.

As I was walking, I saw a figure walking towards me not far away.

She looked carefully and found that the person coming was the maid who had just stood opposite Zeng Yulan.

The other person also saw her, paused for a moment, and then walked towards her as if nothing had happened.

When she came closer, she bowed slightly and said, "Miss Yan."

Yan Qingwan was alert and took two steps back, looking at her coldly, "Are you here to do bad things for Zeng Yulan?"

The maid shuddered when she heard this, and looked up at Yan Qingwan, her eyes full of surprise: "Miss Yan heard everything that happened just now?"

Yan Qingwan frowned and nodded, "Yes."

"I didn't want to do this either, but unfortunately the Zeng family has my weakness." The maid lowered her head and murmured helplessly. Then, she suddenly looked up at Yan Qingwan not far away with a fierce expression: "Miss Yan, I'm so sorry. If you want to blame someone, just blame Zeng Yulan. She forced me to do it."

After she finished speaking, she quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to push Yan Qingwan.

Yan Qingwan was prepared and dodged her sneak attack.

However, the maid did not seem to give up. She pounced on Yan Qingwan again, her moves becoming more ferocious.

While dealing with her attacks, Yan Qingwan was secretly thinking about how to respond.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Yan Qingwan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards him.

Yan Qingwan's men paused, and at that moment, the maid who attacked her took the opportunity to kick her ankle and pushed her waist.

Yan Qingwan screamed in surprise as his ankle, which had just healed, was suddenly attacked. He lost his balance and fell into the lotus pond.

She panicked and realized that the situation was not good, but at this moment she could no longer control her body.

In panic, Yan Qingwan subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hair of the maid opposite him, trying to grab something to maintain balance.

With two "splash" sounds, water splashed everywhere.

Yan Qingwan and her maid fell into the water together.

After entering the water, Yan Qingwan began to swim upwards based on her instinct. The figure she had just glimpsed flashed through her mind, and she paused.

Then he struggled in the water for a while, feeling the water flowing into his nasal cavity through his mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation came over him.

Soon, she felt a strong arm around her waist, holding her tightly and carrying her to the shore.

Yan Qingwan squinted his eyes and confirmed that the person hugging him was the prince. Then he reached out and tightly grasped the other's clothes, trying his best to cooperate.

Si Jinchen felt the soft body in his hands and looked down at the face so close to him. Yan Qingwan's wet little face looked pitiful and helpless at this moment, as transparent and fragile as glass, which made a trace of fear flash in his eyes.

Luckily he wasn't far away.

Wait until you get ashore.

"Miss Yan, how are you?" A deep and pleasant voice sounded in my ears.

Yan Qingwan choked on the water a few times before slowly opening his eyes, only to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince holding his head and asking him with a worried look on his face.

The tips of Yan Qingwan's ears instantly flushed, and she looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince somewhat embarrassedly.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still looks as handsome as ever even when he's wet!

Yan Qingwan knew that he was soaked all over and some hair was stuck to his face. He must be in a very embarrassing state, so he quickly lowered his head.

She bit her lip, her face was as pale as paper, with a hint of fear and helplessness in her eyes, "I... I'm fine, thank you Your Highness for your help." Yan Qingwan's voice trembled a little, as if she had not yet recovered from the fear just now.

Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Yan Qingwan with complicated eyes.

Although he was far away just now, he still clearly saw that it was the maid who deliberately pushed her into the water.

But now she claims that she is fine. What a stubborn girl she is. I don’t know whose temper she inherited from.

At this time, because Yan Qingwan's wet clothes were sticking to her body, her graceful figure was clearly revealed.

Si Jinchen's eyes couldn't help but darken for a moment, and then he quickly took off his coat, put it on Yan Qingwan, and comforted her, "It's good that you're okay."

At the same time, other guards rushed over and quickly pulled the maid out of the water.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the maid with a gloomy face and asked sternly: "What happened? Why did you attack Miss Yan?"

The maid was so frightened that she was shaking all over and was so nervous that she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Yan Qingwan coughed twice, attracted Si Jinchen's attention, and took the initiative to explain to him: "I happened to hear their conversation..."

She then narrated the entire incident in detail.

Some of these processes are naturally omitted.

After hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said angrily: "How dare you!"

He turned to look at the maid, "Come here, take her away immediately and torture her severely. Make sure she confesses clearly, otherwise her entire clan will be killed!"

"Yes!" The guards responded, then stepped forward quickly and took the terrified maid away without mercy.

After the person disappeared around the corner, Si Jinchen stretched out his arms without hesitation, picked up Yan Qingwan, turned around and strode towards the wing room.

I don’t know how familiar the prince is with the Princess’s Mansion, as he didn’t meet a single noble lady along the way.

Not even the palace maids saw one.

As soon as he put Yan Qingwan on the couch, he wanted to step back.

As soon as he took a step back, he felt something was wrong. Si Jinchen looked down and saw Yan Qingwan pulling his sleeve tightly.

Looking at himself helplessly.

Si Jinchen's heart suddenly tightened, and he lowered his voice to comfort her: "What's wrong? I won't leave, I'll stay here with you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan responded with a nasal "OK".

Then he reluctantly let go.
