Everyone let out a surprised cry; however, they saw that the person that had jumped into the pond was quite good at swimming, as she headed straight for where Xu shi and Lu Yao were. It was just that everyone was very unfamiliar with the girl that had jumped in to save them. They were all discussing who exactly she was. At this time, Feng Yu Heng had already recognized that person. It was the eldest daughter of the Lu Family, the young miss of a concubine, Lü Ping.
She and Xuan Tian Ge looked at each other, and a bit of confusion appeared in their eyes. Feng Yu Heng was certain that Xu shi falling into the water was related to Lü Yao. Also, she noticed that although Lü Yao had been one step ahead of Xu shi, she did not drown. Instead, it seemed that she had done it on purpose. Although she was not good at swimming, she was very observant. Even if Lü Yao's thoughts and actions could escape the eyes of others, they could not escape her. Lü Yao knew how to swim. This was something that Feng Yu Heng was very certain of.
She more or less had an understanding, but she was still worried. Xu shi was still in the water, and she could not be careless in the slightest.
Huang Quan carefully asked from her side: "Young miss, do you want this servant to go and save them?"
Even if Feng Yu Heng was worried, she could see that Lü Ping had already swum over to where the two had fallen into the water, thus she slightly shook her head, "No need for now. Let's observe a little longer."
Just after she said this, she saw that Lü Ping had already reached out toward Xu shi. This action caused her to be moved. The one that had fallen into the water was Xu shi, and the other was Lü Ping's younger sister; however, she had reached out to save Xu shi and ignored Lü Yao. This was truly a bit thought-provoking.
There were people in the crowd that began to cheer for Lü Ping. Although they did not know what sort of person it was, they praised her for diving into the water to save someone. But at the same time, there were people that began to question this matter: "The two of them were clearly admiring the lotus. How could they have fallen into the water? And they fell that far? "
These words caused everyone to be startled. That's right! Falling into the water could be said to be an accident, but at most he would have landed by the side of the lotus pond. The lotus leaves in the lotus pond were lush, so how could he have floated so far away?
The same question was also pondering in Feng Yu Heng's mind; however, her gaze once again fell on Lu Yao. Although Lu Yao was currently in the water, Feng Yu Heng could clearly see that her hands were desperately trying to hold onto Xu shi. She had even pushed away Lü Ping's hands a few times.
She furrowed her brow and suddenly felt that Lu Yao was actually stopping Lu Yan from saving people, but to outsiders, Lu Yao was just struggling because she had choked on water. Feng Yu Heng was shocked and was about to order Huang Quan to go and save them, but at this time, Lü Ping had already broken free from Lu Yao's hold and quickly swam over to the shore with Xu shi.
However, as she swam, streaks of blood appeared in the water. Those streaks of blood began to spread from Lü Ping's face, and in the blink of an eye, a large portion of the lotus pond's water was dyed red.
Everyone was extremely shocked, and some of the more timid young misses began to cry out. At this time, there were palace servants that called the eunuchs over. The eunuchs scrambled to pull her out of the water. Feng Yu Heng quickly rushed over and reached out to fiercely slap Xu shi's back, causing Xu shi to vomit up a large amount of dirty water.
Xu shi was fine. After vomiting out the water, she was just given a bit of a shock. Fortunately, there were many people watching. The kind-hearted madams and young misses had already brought dry clothes from the palace servants and wrapped Xu shi up. But when they looked at Lü Ping, they found that she was not as fortunate as Xu shi. The veil on her face had already been pulled off while she was swimming. Her face that could cause the downfall of countries was revealed, but what the people saw was an ugly wound on her face. Who knew what had caused that wound, but it had turned dark green, and the blood that flowed out became darker and darker. Even the left side of her face had changed color.
Feng Yu Heng was extremely shocked: "You were poisoned? How did you get injured? "
Lü Ping forced herself to tell her: "I was bitten by a kind of insect. Junzhu does not need to worry, this kind of poison is not fatal. It only destroyed half of my face. First, let's see how Lady Yao is. Did she get bitten by a poisonous insect? "
At this time, Xu shi had already woken up. When she heard Lü Ping's words, she repeatedly shook her head. With tears in her eyes, she quickly said: "May I ask which family's young miss is this? My Yao Family will definitely repay this young miss for saving our lives. You can rest assured that I am not injured. That is because you have been protecting me, using your body to block the insects in the water for me. It's just that your face … … "She was shocked to see it, and she couldn't help but say to Feng Yu Heng:" Heng Heng, you must help treat this young miss. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Aunty, don't worry."
At this time, an imperial physician had already rushed over after hearing the news. Feng Yu Heng made way for the imperial physician. At the same time, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a special painkiller and anti-inflammatory medicine. She told the imperial physician how to use it and had the imperial physician use it on Lü Ping first. She could already see that the injury on Lü Ping's face could not be treated, but at the very least, it could not continue to spread. Even more, it could not become infected and cause complications.
Everyone was gathered around Lü Ping and Xu shi. The imperial physicians also quickly treated the two. Nobody noticed that there was another person soaking in the lotus pond. It was Lu Yao, who had fallen into the water with Xu shi.
At this time, Lu Yao's head had already poked out of the water. She was looking toward the shore in a daze, especially when Feng Yu Heng stood up and looked toward the water. A look of confusion and unwillingness appeared on her face. Lu Yao just could not understand. Could it be that when Xu shi fell into the water, the first person to jump in to save her was not Feng Yu Heng? Wasn't it said that she had a very good relationship with Xu shi? She had already arranged for someone to call Feng Yu Heng immediately. Why was it that the one that jumped in was Lü Ping?
The person that jumped in to save her was not Feng Yu Heng. This was something that Lu Yao had just discovered. In the instant that Lü Ping was pulled out of the water, she found out that the water bugs that she had released had bitten the wrong person. Not only did they not harm Feng Yu Heng, but they had also bitten Lü Ping's face. While Lu Yao felt unreconciled, she was also secretly shocked. It was not that she did not know the hopes that the Lu Family had placed on Lü Ping. Although Lü Ping had a hidden illness, the Lu Family was still unwilling to give up on her beauty. But now, Lü Ping's face had been ruined, and it had been ruined by her own hands. This matter could be hidden from others, but it could not be hidden from her own father. If her father investigated this matter, how should she explain it?
Lu Yao floated in the water, her mind thinking quickly. Her eyes darted around, and Feng Yu Heng saw everything clearly.
This sort of expression had already sold her out. Feng Yu Heng was already a smart person. When she saw Lu Yao like this, how could she not understand what exactly was going on. She just hated that Lu Yao wanted to harm her, yet she dragged in Xu shi. If it was not for Lü Ping, perhaps even if Xu shi did not drown, she would have fallen ill. The viciousness of Lu Yao's thoughts caused her to make up her mind. She could not allow this scourge to remain.
"Huang Quan." She coldly gave the order, "Get in the water and save her."
Huang Quan was startled and was puzzled as to why her young miss wanted her to go save Lu Yao, but when she turned to look at Feng Yu Heng's expression, Huang Quan immediately understood her meaning after many years as master and servant. Thus he curled up the corners of his lips and nodded, saying: "This servant will obey."
After saying this, he took off his outer robe and suddenly jumped into the water.
The people heard a "splash" sound and turned around to look. It was actually another person that had jumped into the water to save someone. Only at this time did they manage to react, "Ah! There's another one in the water! "
The eunuch that had rushed over to save her was also dazed. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng present and seeing that Xu shi was among the people that had fallen into the water, how could he still worry about the others. Pulling Xu shi out, he did not even have time to ask about her well-being. He had long forgotten about Lu Yao.
At this time, Huang Quan had jumped into the water to save someone. Although the people wanted to watch, they felt that Xu shi and Lü Ping were a little more attention-grabbing. That was why the people that had turned around to look only watched for a while before turning their attention back.
Huang Quan swam toward Lu Yao. She was not very good at swimming, but how could Lu Yao know. She did not even know that Feng Yu Heng did not know how to swim. Upon seeing Huang Quan come over, she was immediately shocked. Without even thinking, she swam deeper into the lotus pond, wanting to avoid Huang Quan. Huang Quan saw this and could not help but sneer; however, she did not want to allow Lu Yao to swim any further. After all, she knew her own abilities in the water, thus she used all of her strength and suddenly grabbed Lu Yao's leg that had swung backward. Pulling her back, she was pulled back.
Huang Quan's swimming ability was average, but she was good at martial arts, and she was strong. Lu Yao had been pulled back to the starting point by Huang Quan. She was flustered, and Huang Quan did not decline. Dragging Lu Yao, she sank into the water.
But Huang Quan could not sink for long. She poked her head out then used her body to block Lu Yao. This allowed the people on the shore to not be able to see what was going on, but the hands in the water were firmly pressed down on Lu Yao, not allowing her to move in the slightest.
Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tian Ge stood on the shore and stared intently at the movements in the water. Xuan Tian Ge quietly asked her: "Have you decided?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "There are some people that the more you want to let them off, the more they seek death. I once thought that it would be fine if she bullied Yao Shu. After all, Yao Shu was willing to do it, but this time, for the sake of harming me, she actually dragged eldest aunty into the water. I can no longer tolerate it. "
"She's good." Xuan Tian Ge's expression became cold, "My mother already said that Lu Yao marrying into the Yao family would be a disaster. Who knew that this disaster would send herself down the path of death so quickly. To the Yao family, this can be considered a good thing."
While the two spoke, the movements in the water had become much quieter. Huang Quan had already begun to swim back to the shore. Turning her head, she winked at Feng Yu Heng, and Feng Yu Heng curled her lips into a smile, telling Xuan Tian Ge: "It's done." She then quickly took a couple steps forward and asked anxiously: "How is it? How is the Yao family's young madam? "
Huang Quan shook her head from under the water: "Young miss, it's not too good. She has been submerged in the water for too long. I don't know if she's still breathing."
These words were said quite loudly, and everyone heard it. They could not help but be shocked. Who knew that they would end up harming the Yao family's young madam's little life?
When Huang Quan swam to the shore, a strong eunuch had already reached out and pulled the two out. Huang Quan could still borrow some strength and was very easily pulled out of the water, but Lu Yao, who was behind him, was only pulled out after the eunuchs expended a great deal of effort. One of the older eunuchs pulled Lu Yao while shaking his head and saying: "She's dead heavy. I fear that she's no longer of any use."
Sure enough, when she was pulled out of the water, she lay there like a dead pig. Her clothes were a mess, and her hair was a mess. Her belly was bulging, and it was clear that she had drunk quite a bit of water. The people could not bear to continue watching and turned their heads away. Xu shi, however, stared at Lu Yao for a long time then took the initiative to say to the imperial physician at her side: "That is our Yao manor's young madam. Would the imperial physician please take a look."
The imperial physician was startled. He never thought that the person that had been ignored would also be from the Yao family, thus he quickly stood up and went over to Lu Yao's side to take a look. As for Feng Yu Heng, she also went forward. The two were both physicians. After examining her, they both shook their heads: "The Yao family's young madam drowned."
