Chapter 7
"Ah..." Lin Jingmo fell into the water with a scream. She was neither good at holding her breath nor able to swim, so she could only resist with both hands, and shouted to Qi Xuanyi on the shore: "Help... I don't know how to swallow water!"

Qi Xuanyi looked at her hands in disbelief: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't do it on purpose..." So he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Lin Jingmo.

At the beginning, the place where Lin Jingmo fell into the water was still very close to Qi Xuanyi, but Lin Jingmo tried to struggle in the direction of Qi Xuanyi, but instead drifted further and further away.

There seemed to be a pair of invisible big hands under the water, dragging Lin Jingmo down. While she was struggling and calling for help, the result was that water kept pouring in from her mouth and nose, and the thumping speed became slower and slower.

Qi Xuanyi on the shore was very anxious. Seeing that Lin Jingmo was about to sink, she shouted: "Come on, help me!"

It's just that at this time, the Empress Qianqiu celebrates her birthday, and most of the palace people went to Yaohua Palace to make decorations.There are few people in the garden, and this place is remote, it is a place where foreign officials take a detour when entering the palace.When she entered the garden, she told the palace people not to approach if there was no serious matter. The guards on duty were all near the gate of the garden, and it was impossible to call anyone by just shouting.

At this moment, Lin Jingmo was exhausted. She heard Qi Xuanyi on the shore calling for help for her, and thought that instead of wasting energy by constantly throwing herself around, she should hold her breath and sink down, waiting for the rescuer to come. Nor will there be no strength to escape.

So, she held her breath and slowly sank along with the current...

Lin Jingmo disappeared on the water, and Qi Xuanyi on the shore was both scared and anxious: "It's over, Lin Jingmo is going to die again! No, I have to go out and call someone." After finishing speaking, he turned and ran away.

Not far away, Shang Shixu watched all this quietly. He watched Lin Jingmo struggling and sinking expressionlessly, as if he had no pleasure in killing the hidden danger, nor the pain of losing his wife.

He thought that Qi Xuanyi left to escape, and thought: this place is not suitable to stay for a long time.

Then she decided to turn around and leave towards the gate of the garden, but after walking a few steps, she happened to meet Qi Xuanyi who was asking for help.

When Qi Xuanyi saw Shang Shixu, hope was ignited in his heart, and he quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "It's too late, Shang Shilang, your wife is going to die again."

Shang Shixu frowned, pulled out his sleeves deliberately and unhurriedly, and replied: "The princess and the madam have been at odds for a long time, but there is no need to curse her with these words. Besides, there are differences between men and women. In broad daylight, I dare not presume."

Qi Xuanyi hurriedly said: "Lin Jingmo has fallen into the water, and she may have sunk to the bottom at this moment. She is your wife, don't you have a deep relationship with her? Then hurry up and rescue her with me!"

Shang Shixu naturally knew whether Lin Jingmo fell into the water, and he didn't react after hearing Qi Xuanyi's words.

Qi Xuanyi didn't care about 21, pulled up his sleeves again and ran, and let him go when he came to the pool, pointing to the water and said: "Your wife is in the water now, why don't you jump down to save her!"

Shang Shixu tidied up his wrinkled sleeves slowly, and casually glanced at the calm pool of water in front of him: "Princess and madam are at odds, but there is no need to take revenge on this minister. If you are not good at water, you will die if you jump off. Besides The water surface is so calm, how can there be no waves if a big living person falls in?"

He turned his head to look at Qi Xuanyi, his eyes gradually darkened, and said coldly: "Mrs. Chen is not a three-year-old child, how could she fall into the lake in a good way? If she is really in the water...could it be...someone pushed her into the water ?”

Qi Xuanyi was taken aback by Shang Shixu's gloomy and cold appearance, and lowered her head guiltily: Yes, it's fine, how can I explain why Lin Jingmo fell into the water when he was so big? The princess actually pushed someone into the water because of a little quarrel. It was a trivial matter to be punished by the emperor's brother, but it was a great event to lose the royal dignity.

However, at this moment, Lin Jingmo's head slowly emerged. It turned out that because she was holding her breath in the water, she slowly floated up. As soon as she emerged from the water, she let out a big breath and sank quickly...

Qi Xuanyi looked at Lin Jingmo who had just emerged from the water, then at Shang Shixu who was unmoved by the side, and exclaimed: "It's not really like Wulinghou said, you want Lin Jingmo to die, okay?" Completely leave the Lin family and seek refuge with Zhongshuling?"

Seeing this, Shang Shixu couldn't escape, so he jumped in without saying a word, but instead of saving Lin Jingmo, he sank into the lake directly...

After a while, the water was calm again.

Qi Xuanyi suddenly understood something, and suddenly realized: "Too bad, he just said that he can't swim..." hurriedly continued to call for help.

At this moment, the guards outside heard the cry for help and came to the pool to rescue.

Lin Jingmo sank in the water, looking at Shang Shixu who also sank underwater with him, he was very moved: Why is your husband also underwater?It seems that he is not good at water, could it be that he jumped to save me...

Shang Shixu still had a cold expression on his face, just staring at Lin Jingmo: I just need to hold my breath underwater for a while, wait for her to suffocate and die, and then pretend to be rescued.

Vaguely, there seemed to be noisy sounds on the shore.

Shang Shixu glanced up following the voice, and couldn't help frowning slightly: The people came so fast!
Lin Jingmo looked up at the water: Is someone coming to save us?But we are underwater, how are they going to save us?Besides, I can hardly hold on anymore...

She looked at Shang Shixu again: He knew that he would die if he jumped into the water, but he still chose to come down to save me without hesitation...Since this is the case, one death is better than two deaths. The incident happened because of me, how could I let him suffer so innocently? implicated?

Suddenly, with her last breath, she stretched out her hand and pushed Shang Shixu upwards.

Shang Shixu, as long as you emerge from the water, you can be saved, I choose to let you live...

Shang Shixu was pushed by Lin Jingmo, and his body floated upwards. Even if it was only for a moment, his expression flashed with surprise, and he had mixed feelings in his heart: She wanted to...

Suddenly he remembered that just now, she saved him from the siege in front of the Marquis of Wuling: Lin Jingmo...you are really...

Lin Jingmo's push exhausted all her strength, and made her body sink even further. There seemed to be the sound of bubbles in her ears, the air in her body kept coming out of her mouth, and the pool of water poured into her throat. It was all the foreign body sensation from the pool water entering, and the eyes that were originally open also felt the burning pain and slowly closed...

I... am going to die again...

In a daze, she stretched out her hand feebly to grab something. She knew it was futile, but she was suddenly held tightly by a big hand...

Lin Jingmo opened her eyes, and through the beam of light refracted from the water surface, she saw clearly the person who rescued her: it was Shang Shixu...

He still looked indifferent, but in Lin Jingmo's eyes, he was so affectionate.

Shang Shixu took Lin Jingmo's hand and led her to swim towards the surface of the water with difficulty.After a while, he popped up, hugged Lin Jingmo tightly, grabbed the bamboo pole handed over by the palace people and returned to the shore.

Lin Jingmo was picked up by Shang Shixu and returned to the shore, but she fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen for too long.Shang Shixu put her on the ground and looked coldly at Lin Jingmo who hadn't opened his eyes for a long time.

Qi Xuanyi knelt down, reached out and patted Lin Jingmo's face, and seeing that she was not awake, he said, "Shut up!" After that, he immediately looked at Shang Shixu: "She is your wife, you give her a break." ah!"

Shang Shixu looked up at Qi Xuanyi, frowned in disbelief, then lowered his head again, and said, "Princess, I just narrowly escaped death..."

Qi Xuanyi shook his head: "Yes! You just came out of the water and you didn't have enough breath." Turning to the left and right, he pointed at the two guards casually: "You, and you, come here to save Mrs. Shang's breath."

Upon hearing this, Shang Shixu looked at her with black lines all over his face, and said helplessly, "I'd better come here."

 Thanks for watching, good luck
