Time Travel and Love

Chu Qingmeng, who didn't want to listen to their discussion of that topic, got up and went outside. He walked aimlessly until he came to the small garden. Chu Qingmeng covered her face with a handkerchief and kicked the stones under her feet out of boredom. Suddenly, she heard a cat's meow. Chu Qingmeng looked up and saw a little boy of five or six years old chasing Xun Ge'er's little civet cat. He didn't know how to catch cats, so he pounced on the cat like a butterfly. The little civet cat was very good at his pounce and dodged him proudly. Chu Qingmeng couldn't help laughing when he saw the child and the kitten, "Chunhe, look, how cute that chubby kid is! I wonder if Qing'er Che'er was this cute when he was a child?"

Chunhe replied with a smile, "This is the second young master, Qi Ge'er, from the Second Young Master's family. He's six years old. When the Second Young Master was Qi Ge'er's age, he already had a stern face and looked mature all day long. He's nowhere near as lively as Qi Ge'er! Hey? Why isn't there anyone around Qi Ge'er?"

Chu Qingmeng then realized that Qi Ge'er was indeed unaccompanied. Why were the servants in this mansion so lax? Last time, no one was with Xun Ge'er either. Just as Chu Qingmeng was frowning, he heard a "plop" and saw Qi Ge'er fall into the small lake nearby. Although it was winter and ice had formed, it was still the end of the year, so the ice was only thin. Before Chunhe could even cry out in surprise, Chu Qingmeng's body reacted faster than his brain and jumped into the lake after Qi Ge'er. Feiying, who saw Qi Ge'er fall into the lake, was a step slower. After Chu Qingmeng jumped into the lake, Feiying followed closely.

Chu Qingmeng grabbed Qi Ge'er and lifted him out of the ice. He completely forgot he couldn't swim when he jumped into the water. Feiying pulled them both out of the water. Chunhe had already cried out in alarm and called the servants nearby, who then pulled Chu Qingmeng and Qi Ge'er out of the water.

The few people who had just finished talking in the hall were silent when they heard a servant rushing in to report that Qi Ge'er had fallen into the water and that the princess had jumped into the lake to save him. Mo Liujin rushed out without even listening to the servant's report, and Xu Shi ran towards the lake like a madman.

The two people who were rescued by Feiying at the lakeside, Qi Ge'er just choked on the water because Chu Qingmeng caught him in time, and he was fine. He was sitting in the wet nurse's arms crying, but Chu Qingmeng choked on the water several times when he was holding the child. He was shivering with cold, and the exploding pain in his chest came again. Feiying was about to pick up Chu Qingmeng and carry him into the house when Mo Liujin came. He took off his coat and covered Chu Qingmeng with it. But it was winter now, and a coat could not warm the soaked Chu Qingmeng at all. He picked up Chu Qingmeng and flew back into the house with a few moves.

A group of people hurriedly invited the court physician to take Qi Ge'er and Chu Qingmeng's pulses. Back in the house, Mo Liujin quickly changed Chu Qingmeng's soaked clothes, put on clean underwear, and tucked her into the quilt, hugging her tightly. But seeing her pale face and closed eyes, he panicked for a moment. After the court physician arrived, his frown deepened the more he took Qi Ge'er's pulse. He hurriedly wrote a prescription and had someone go and boil the medicine. "Third Master! Hurry and call the imperial physician. This girl might still be saved!"

Mo Liujin was startled for a moment and hurriedly called Chunhe to ask her to find Mo Chenfeng and ask him to call the imperial physician. As soon as Chunhe left, blood began to flow from Chu Qingmeng's lips. Mo Liujin could clearly feel that Chu Qingmeng had lost her strength. She had just closed her eyes to endure the pain, but this time she really fainted! "Qingmeng! Qingmeng! Don't scare me! Wake up!"

"Third Master! Don't shake her!" The princess's doctor hurriedly stopped Mo Liujin's movements. "The girl's old heart and lung injuries were already serious. If she had been carefully cared for after the cold weather, she would have been fine. But she was shaken by the lake water. I'm afraid..."

The court doctor didn't dare to finish the rest of the words. Mo Liujin hugged Chu Qingmeng tightly and kept wiping the blood from her lips. However, new blood flowed out again after he wiped it off. The whole handkerchief was wet and he couldn't wipe it clean. Mo Liujin trembled visibly.

The palace doctor had already examined Qi'er. He was only shocked by the cold water. He was treated in time and was fine. He just needed to drink some ginger soup to warm himself up. Mo Jiangche was worried about his mother, who was soaking wet and pale. He felt uneasy and left Xu to look after the child. He went to the main courtyard and heard Xia Zhi's anxious cry as soon as he entered the door, "Third Master! The girl can't swallow!"

Seeing how the medicine went in and out of her mouth, Mo Liujin panicked, and the court doctor was even more anxious, "Third Master, we must find a way to make the girl swallow it! Otherwise, she won't make it until the imperial physician arrives!"

Mo Liujin hugged Chu Qingmeng and coaxed her in a trembling voice, "Qingmeng, Qingmeng, swallow it, I beg you, please swallow it, Qingmeng, I've been waiting for you for twenty-five years, and you just came back, you can't be so cruel, are you going to abandon me again? I beg you, swallow it! Swallow it! Qingmeng, Qingmeng..."

Looking at his father's panicked look, Mo Jiangqing suddenly recognized this mother in his heart. He knew very well that this person was really his mother, because he had never seen his father so panicked.
