Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

"Oh……"

Tao Yao, half-comprehending, let go of Chu Huanjun's hand with some hesitation. When Chu Huanjun staggered to his feet, she quickly followed him and gently grabbed his belt from behind.

"In that case, I'll go with you."

Chu Huanjun laughed helplessly: "Can you swim? If not, stop causing trouble for me."

Tao Yao then reluctantly let go of her hands and watched Chu Huanjun leap up and sit astride the porthole.

The sunlight outside the window was too glaring, illuminating the sky and river in a brilliant, vast expanse of white. Chu Huanjun's backlit body was like a thin silhouette, its black hole obscuring nothing, just like his impenetrable heart.

At that moment, a gust of wind arose, stirring up a turbulent wave. The thin, dark shadow leaped down with the wind and fell into the surging waves.

In an instant, Tao Yao's consciousness was like a broken iron chain, and all her rationality was like a flood of magma that broke through a dam, causing everything to collapse.

Almost at the same time as Chu Huanjun jumped down, Tao Yao, like an arrow shot from a fully drawn bow, chased forward with all her strength and grabbed a piece of his clothes that was fluttering in the wind.

Unfortunately, the wind was too strong and too strong. Tao Yao didn't catch anything except the wind passing through his fingers and palms.

For a moment, Tao Yao had no time to think about anything else. Standing on the rickety window frame, she looked down. The parading boats caused the water to surge with layer after layer of white foam. The dazzling sunlight also illuminated the thousands of waves into a white gold color. Everything was so bright and hot.

Half of Chu Huanjun's sleeve fluttered in the wind, like a piece of clear and soft green lake water, like a peacock feather, floating and turning, falling down in the shape of the wind, and finally swallowed up by a huge wave that came from nowhere.

At this time, Tao Yao's two legs had already stepped into the air, chasing the green section of the lake water, and were also swept into the river by the huge waves according to the shape of the wind.

The river water flooded over his head, and Tao Yao felt dizzy at first. His body seemed to suddenly become extremely thin, like a weak and fragile dead leaf, being pulled everywhere by countless huge turbulent currents around him.

She lost her balance and was forced to drift with the current. Every limb in her body screamed pain into her brain, and at the same time, it felt as if hundreds of ferocious underwater beasts were surrounding her, grabbing her limbs and pulling them in all four directions.

The waves of the river were so fierce and fast, but there was silence beside her ears.

In an instant, Tao Yao suddenly remembered something and struggled to open his eyes.

The moment her eyes opened, countless streams of water hit her eyelids and pupils, causing her unbearable pain, but Tao Yao forced herself not to close her eyes.

She wants to find Chu Huanjun.

She had grasped the soft lake green gauze in her hand at some point, and it fluttered in the air like a water plant.

Tao Yao tried her best to hold it tightly in her hand, but the water around her was too fast and fierce, she couldn't exert any strength, and could only watch it being taken away by the waves.

If you fall into the water, people who can't swim can only rely on their intuition.

Tao Yao used all her strength and paddled with her arms desperately. She didn't know how long she had been paddling, nor where she had drifted to. All she could see before her was the misty river water and the dark reefs.

Where is Chu Huanjun?

He said he could swim, maybe he had already reached the shore.

What if the poison makes him weak and he drowns in the river?

Tao Yao didn't have the energy to think too much - in the water, just trying to survive took up all her energy.

Underwater, she couldn't breathe and choked on a lot of water.

The damp and fishy river water filled my nostrils and throat, and the light in my sight gradually dimmed.

At this moment, Tao Yao suddenly felt that if she really drowned here, her life would stop in this turbulent river, which didn't seem to be a bad thing.

She had no aspirations in this life. The only urgent thing she had to do was to leave the capital and leave Chu Huanjun.

But fate is like the turbulent Chishui River, with fast-flowing water, tangled and chaotic, and so many turbulent currents that cannot be cut off, trapping her here and making it impossible to sort out the situation.

No matter where she hides, she will meet Chu Huanjun again.

No matter how much she knew in her heart that their future was a tragedy, she couldn't help but pay attention to his every move and couldn't bear to watch him jump into the icy river alone after being poisoned.

For a moment, in addition to the dull pain in her eye sockets caused by the rapid river water, Tao Yao suddenly felt a hint of sourness in her eyes.

Go find him, go find him.

The cold river water rushed in from all directions, flowing into her sleeves and her collar.

The dress she was wearing was her best dress, given to her by Grandma Tu, one for each of her and Lu Che.

What a pity! I had only worn it for a day when I dropped it into the river. These clothes made of animal skins and furs can’t withstand water, right?

Tao Yao thought of Grandma Tu's kind smile, and her heart ached. She felt sorry for her and had wasted her kindness.

Lu Che should have left the pleasure boat by now. Tao Yao felt he would definitely come back to save her, given his temperament. But right now, Tao Yao just hoped he would run away and never come back to find her again.

Lu Che had other things to do, and Tao Yao didn't want to let anyone unrelated be imprisoned because of her.

Tao Yao had never felt such a bone-chilling cold before. Even that day in the Zhuzheng Hall, when she was punished with dozens of large boards slapping her back, leaving half of her clothes bloody, she had never felt as cold as she did now.

Back then, she had nothing to lose; what about now? Actually, she didn't have anything either—but she was suddenly terrified. Terrified that she wouldn't be able to see the sunlight beyond the water again, terrified that she wouldn't be able to see Chu Huanjun again.

In the silence of all things, Tao Yao seemed to hear Chu Huanjun whispering in her ear again, those sincere words that might have been true or false, those teasings that were both distant and close. What did he really think of her? She hadn't asked him personally yet.

To this day, that night of the Beijing Lantern Festival is one of Taoyao's few happiest days.

She still remembered that they were wearing clothes that were completely different from their usual clothes. They both shed their original identities and walked side by side on the streets filled with lanterns and bustling with people. They were just like ordinary men and women, following the crowd to buy a lantern, and when they were hungry they would just find a small shop to eat noodles.

Her name was Tao Yao, so he bought her a peach blossom lantern, saying that the person and the lantern complement each other.

When everyone in the city was making good wishes for the coming year, she told him that she hoped he would be a good person in the future.

To this day, she probably doesn't know whether he can really be a good person in the future.

If she completely sank into the river, everything in this world would have nothing to do with her.

If she is lucky enough to survive, she should not touch those entanglements that should not be touched.
