The next day, Su Zhizhi and Xu Miao met at the city gate at the agreed time.

Xu Miao was sitting in the carriage. When he saw the food Su Zhizhi brought, his eyes widened. There were all his favorite cakes, various exquisite sugar cakes, etc., which made Xu Miao feel a little hungry.

Seeing Xu Miao's expression, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but chuckle, "I knew Your Highness would like it. I was wrong about many things. These will just be entertainment on the way."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi reached out, took out a piece and placed it in Xu Miao's hand.

Xu Miao couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. The familiar aroma filled his entire mouth. Xu Miao's eyes narrowed involuntarily, like a cat stealing fish.

The carriage wobbled and soon arrived at the lake that Xu Miao mentioned.

Xu Miao deliberately dismissed the servants and walked alone by the lake with Su Zhizhi.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, Su Zhizhi's heart relaxed for a rare moment.

But suddenly, something unexpected happened. Two assassins jumped out from nowhere and pushed Su Zhizhi and Xu Miao into the lake. They seemed to want to kill Su Zhizhi, and Xu Miao was just a bystander.

The two of them lost their balance and fell straight into the lake.

Xu Miao couldn't swim, so he could only flounder in the lake. The water was very deep, and even if Su Zhizhi wanted to, she couldn't help him in time.

Unfortunately, Xu Miao's servants were waiting at a distance from the lake, and they couldn't notice the situation here for a while.

Seeing Xu Miao about to sink into the water, Su Zhizhi's mind was working frantically.

"This situation must be an intentional assassination, but who they are targeting is still unknown. I also don't know if those assassins are still waiting by the lake for me or Xu Miao to fall into their trap." Su Zhizhi thought quickly in her mind.

Seeing that Xu Miao's head was about to sink into the water, Su Zhizhi quickly put aside the thing she was thinking about and dived into the lake.

For convenience, Su Zhizhi disguised the universal capsule as a small purse and carried it with her.

She came to Xu Miao's side as quickly as possible. Seeing that Xu Miao's eyes were closed, she hurriedly took out two oxygen tanks from the capsule, pressed one of the masks on Xu Miao's face, put one on herself, and then grabbed Xu Miao and floated to the surface of the water.

In the water, Su Zhizhi couldn't tell the direction and could only go in the direction she remembered.

Fortunately, as soon as Su Zhizhi and Xu Miao climbed ashore, servants came to pick them up.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Someone come quickly!" A Lian kept calling Xu Miao, but Xu Miao did not respond at all.

Before Yi Lian and others approached, Su Zhizhi put away the oxygen tank and mask together.

Regardless of the fact that she was almost exhausted, she got up and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Xu Miao. Fortunately, Su Zhizhi took timely action, and Xu Miao did not choke on too much water. Before the doctor arrived, Xu Miao suddenly woke up with a cough.

Seeing that Xu Miao was not seriously injured, Su Zhizhi collapsed to the side exhausted and slowly fainted.

Su Zhizhi didn't remember much about what happened afterwards, but when she woke up, she found Xie Chengjin standing by her side.

Noticing that Su Zhizhi had woken up, Xie Chengjin hurried over, carefully helped Su Zhizhi up, leaned her against the head of the bed, then took the warm tea next to her and handed it to Su Zhizhi's mouth.

"Drink some water first. You've been unconscious for too long, so you must be very dehydrated."

After Xie Chengjin's reminder, Su Zhizhi realized that something was wrong with her body.

She was now completely exhausted, her hands and feet were limp, as if they were not her own, not to mention the burning pain in her throat. The warm tea passing through her throat made Su Zhizhi feel a little better.

Looking at Su Zhizhi who was busying around, he asked in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Hearing this, Xie Chengjin paused for a moment, then said, "It's been nearly three days since you and Princess Changle were sent back to the capital. If you don't wake up today, I'm afraid I'll have to take you straight into the palace."

Su Zhizhi burst out laughing and asked, "So what's going on with me? Is Xu Miao okay now?"

Even at this time, Su Zhizhi was still worried about Xu Miao.

Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi helplessly, "You are so sick, but you are still concerned about Princess Changle's condition. I don't know what to say to you.

"Forget it. I'm kind-hearted, so I'll tell you." Xie Chengjin waved his hands helplessly, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to tell Su Zhizhi everything he knew.

Su Zhizhi then realized that she had fainted after Xu Miao woke up at home. Falling into the water and the excessive stimulation made her body unable to withstand it, so she caught a cold and fainted.

Of course, Xu Miao also did not escape the cold, and now he is almost as sick in bed as Su Zhizhi.

Of course, Shen Wenjun also knew about this. He originally wanted to visit Su Zhizhi, but before leaving, he remembered that he and Xu Miao were still engaged. After thinking about it, Shen Wenjun went to Xu Miao's princess mansion for the first time.

In the princess's mansion, Xu Miao had long since woken up from his coma. Thanks to Su Zhizhi's timely rescue, Xu Miao was only in a coma for a little over a day, and spent the rest of the time recuperating in bed.

When Xu Miao heard that Shen Wenjun was coming to visit, he suddenly realized that he was no longer so looking forward to Shen Wenjun's appearance.

In the following days, Shen Wenjun came to visit Xu Miao every day due to her engagement, while Xie Chengjin took care of Su Zhizhi while sending people to investigate the reasons why Su Zhizhi and Xu Miao fell into the lake.

Perhaps Xu Wanqing's handling of the matter was too hasty, and Xie Chengjin still found some clues.

When Xie Chengjin learned that all these things were planned by Xu Wanqing, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent towards Xu Wanqing.

After collecting the evidence, Xie Chengjin called Shen Wenjun to his house.

Of course Shen Wenjun was happy to go. He had wanted to visit Su Zhizhi for a long time, but he had no legitimate reason. Now Xie Chengjin's actions gave Shen Wenjun an opportunity.

Su Zhizhi was lying on the bed bored when she saw Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun walk in.

Shen Wenjun walked closer, looking at Su Zhizhi's frail appearance and pale face, the pain in his eyes was beyond words.

"Zhizhi, are you feeling better now?" Shen Wenjun asked with concern.

Su Zhizhi coughed lightly a few times, waved her hand, and said, "I'm fine now. But have you visited Princess Changle?"
