The place where they fell into the water was not far or near, Ye Zi raised his head and looked over there, but he couldn't see clearly, only vaguely saw a small boat floating on the lake, as if it had been torn apart.

Looks like the boat is sinking.

The splashing water gradually became smaller, and there were vague screams and cries. Ye Zi asked hesitantly, "Didn't someone throw themselves into the lake again?"

Gu Yan put his arms around him without moving, "I don't know."

Gu Yan is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, not to mention that this time it has nothing to do with him seriously, even if someone really drowned in front of him, he probably wouldn't take a look at it.

But Ye Zi couldn't see this, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Don't you want to save me?"

Gu Yan shook his head and pointed to the front: "Someone is going to rescue him."

He looked in the direction Gu Yan pointed, and several small boats on the lake were already heading in that direction.

Ye Zi estimated the distance.Frowning, he said: "It's so far away, when they arrive, I'm afraid they have already drowned?"

Gu Yan said: "That means they are useless."

Ye Zi heard something from Gu Yan's tone, and asked, "Do you know who the person who fell into the water is?"

Gu Yan paused, and said truthfully, "I can probably guess it."

Ye Zi asked, "Who is it?"

Gu Yan pointed to the shore, and he could vaguely see a lot of cars and horses parked there: "Did you see that sedan chair? The sedan chair of that standard can only be used by four concubines."

Gu Yandao: "When a concubine travels, there must be guards and eunuchs accompanying her. But the carriages and horses in front of me obviously exceed the specifications for a concubine's travel, but if you add a little prince, it will be just right."

"Little prince?" Ye Zi was taken aback.

Today there are only three princes, and today is not a holiday, the prince and the three princes should both go to the pilgrimage.The rest is the fifth prince who is not yet ten years old, Gu Xu.

Gu Xu is the son of Concubine Shu, because he is too young, no matter whether in the past life or the present life, he has nothing to do with Gu Yan, and Ye Zi doesn't know him well.

Ye Zi was startled: "It's not the Fifth Prince who fell into the water, right?"

Gu Yan sneered: "If it's really him, such a large group of people can't look down on a child, he is really a waste."

Ye Zi fell silent and did not answer.

While they were talking, the struggling splash became smaller and smaller, but the other boats hadn't arrived yet.

The little prince has just turned seven years old this year, if he really drowned and died like this, it would be too—

The situation was urgent, Ye Zi didn't think much about it, and broke away from Gu Yan's hand to get out of the boat.He stepped lightly on the water surface with his toes, and soon came to the place where someone fell into the water. A boy in luxurious clothes closed his eyes tightly, raised his head and barely supported the water surface, as if he had lost consciousness.

Ye Zi stepped lightly on the already torn boat, reached into the water and pulled hard, trying to pull the boy up from the water.

When he exerted force, he could vaguely feel something under the water hindering him.However, Ye Zi's movement was only a pause, and his hands exerted strength to pull the boy out of the water lightly.

Then, he picked up the boy and jumped back to the original boat.

Gu Yan had already stood up and reached out to help him.

The two landed on the boat smoothly, Ye Zi asked the boy to sit up, lowered his head and patted the boy's back lightly.The boy suddenly coughed a few times, vomited a big saliva, finally regained consciousness, did not see clearly who was in front of him, hugged Ye Zi and began to cry loudly.

Ye Zi: "..."

Ye Zi was stunned by his reaction, and looked at Gu Yan for help: "My lord..."

Gu Yan sat beside him leisurely, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, quietly admiring Ye Zi's bewildered appearance.

Just now, when Ye Zi saved people, the set of light kung fu and flowing water was a heroic figure that Gu Yan hadn't seen for a long time.It has to be said that Gu Yan really misses him a little bit.

But whether it's the Ye Zi who can be alone, or the Ye Zi who is extremely dependent on him, he likes it so much that he can't control himself.

Gu Yan made up his mind to stand by and watch, Ye Zi could only frantically comfort the boy in his arms, and after a while, the rescue ship finally arrived.

There was a young eunuch on the boat, who recognized Gu Yan and Ye Zi at a glance, and hurriedly bowed to the two: "I didn't expect it to be Prince Rui and Princess Wang, I have seen the two masters, thanks to you two who saved the fifth prince."

Gu Yan responded, picked up the boy by the back collar, gently lifted him out of Ye Zi's arms, and threw him to the little eunuch.

Gu Yan said coldly: "Eunuch, pay more attention in the future, if anything goes wrong with the fifth prince, you will all lose your heads."

After speaking, Gu Yan swung the oars, turned the bow, and steered the boat back in the direction it came from.

After Ye Zi tossed and tossed, most of his front was wet, and it was not very comfortable to stick to his body. The breeze blowing on the lake made him feel a little cool.Gu Yan pulled him off the boat, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his face and neck: "Take off your coat first, is it wet inside?"

"A little."

The wet boy slipped into Ye Zi's arms, even if he wasn't wet before, he was almost wet now.

Ye Zi took off his outer robe, and twisted it casually: "It's not too wet, it's warm today, it'll be dry in a while, it's okay."

Gu Yan was silent for a while, and said: "How can it be so easy, this forest is very cloudy, don't catch a cold."

As he spoke, he untied his robe and wanted to put it on Ye Zi.

"No need, I'm not cold—" Ye Zi was about to hide to the side, when Gu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Ye Zi immediately confessed her cowardice, and did not dare to hide anymore.

Gu Yan unbuttoned the two buttons of his jacket, wiped his neck for him, and said, "Satisfied now, Ye Shaoxia, who has done what is right?"

Hearing the meaning of the joke in his tone, Ye Zi pursed her lips and defended herself in a low voice: "That's just a child, if I don't save him, I really want to see him drowned?"

Gu Yan said indifferently: "I didn't say that you saved it wrongly. I love my concubine and have a kind heart. I don't want to see children suffer. I understand."

Ye Zi muttered, "I always feel like you're mocking me..."

Gu Yan didn't say anything, but wiped his face and neck for him, wrapped Ye Zi tightly with his outer robe, and pulled him back: "Go back to the bamboo house first, and light a fire to warm it up, you were injured earlier. Yuan Qi, if I want to save people today, I will really get angry with you."

Ye Zi didn't dare to say anything more, nodded, and was dragged back obediently by him.

After they walked for a while, Ye Zi was blown by the cold wind, and her mind cleared up a little before she realized something was wrong: "Since Concubine Shu is going out, there should be many guards following her, how can she even have one?" Can't even save the children?"

Gu Yan looked back at him, with a helpless smile in his eyes: "Little fool, have you finally come to your senses?"

Ye Zi was startled: "The one in the sedan chair..."

Gu Yan said: "It should not be Concubine Shu."

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on, and whispered: "Are they crazy? Such a young child is also hurt..."

"I remember that when the fourth prince died of illness, he was also at this age." Gu Yandao, "The eldest prince and the fourth prince passed away one after another. Except for the fifth prince, no other concubines have been born for so many years. Do you think it's just a coincidence?"

Ye Zi lowered her head.

It's not that he doesn't know about the harem battle, it's just that knowing it is one thing, and seeing it with his own eyes is another.

Gu Yandao: "Concubine Shu is from the common people, and she has been favored especially since she entered the palace. Emperor Jinghe treasured her very much. When he learned that she was pregnant, he not only named her Concubine Shu directly, but also sent people to take good care of her daily life. That's how the Fifth Prince was saved."

"After the fifth prince was born, Emperor Jinghe didn't pay much attention to him. It didn't take long for him to be seriously ill. It seems that he won't live for a few years."

"If Emperor Jinghe dies at this time, the young fifth prince will not be able to become the crown prince, and the focus of seizing the throne will naturally fall on the crown prince and the third prince. In recent years, the fifth prince and concubine Shu have lived a few years in peace, but , Emperor Jinghe has been angry for many years, and he still can't let it go. In addition, there have been some discussions about abolishing the crown prince in the court recently, and some people are worried."

Ye Zi said, "You mean the crown prince, or...the queen?"

"There is no evidence, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions now. However, whether it is the Queen's side or Concubine Yu's side, the future of the little prince is probably a bit worrying."

Ye Zi's eyes darkened, but he thought of something else: "No wonder you don't want me to save him today. If we are like this, are we offending the Queen again? Am I... adding to the chaos."

Gu Yan turned his head and gently pinched Ye Zi's face: "Don't think about it, I'm not blaming you. Besides, how many times have I offended the Queen? If she really wanted to do something to me, she would have done so long ago. Yes, not bad this time."

"I'm worried about you." Gu Yan sighed softly, "When will you change your temper of always pity others, you saved that child's life today, if he dies in the future, won't you feel bad? "

Ye Zi's heart warmed.

Gu Yan was really kind to him.He never thought that there would be a person who cared so much about his feelings and thought of him in everything.There is a person in this world who loves and spoils him with all his strength, and this person is also very cherished and admired by him.

How could he be able to meet such a good person.

Ye Zi's expression softened, Gu Yan looked down at him, and said with a light smile, "What's the matter, are you so moved?"

Ye Zi met his gaze and looked over. The two of them had just walked out of the green bamboo forest, and the sunlight streamed down without hindrance, as if casting a layer of warm light on Gu Yan's side face.Ye Zi's heart was unbelievably soft, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the other party's lips lightly.

Ye Zi separated a little distance, and said in a gentle voice, "Zi Cheng, what should I do, I seem to like you more and more."

Gu Yan's heart moved, he lifted the back of Ye Zi's head, lowered his head and kissed it.

"……Hold!"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, and they both looked over at the same time.Wen Yi rolled up his sleeves and was holding a wooden bucket in his hand. He was standing outside the yard, not sure if he was going out or just came back.

His face was flushed red, he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you guys do?"

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Yan, silently expressing her doubts.

Why is this person crazy?

Gu Yan shrugged, obviously also confused.

Wen Yi hesitated on the spot for a long time, his face turning red and turning pale, before he said viciously: "Put on your clothes and come in again, there are women inside!"

After speaking, he entered the yard without looking back.

Ye Zi: "..."

Only then did he look down at the current appearance of him and Gu Yan.

His own outer robe was soaked in water, and he was holding it in his hand, while Gu Yan's outer robe was now hanging loosely on his body, but the hem of his inner garment was also undone a few pieces.

No matter how you look at it... it seems that you have done something that shouldn't be done outside.

Ye Zi's face turned red.
