Chapter 270 Weird
Chang'an didn't know what Lu Yun was thinking, but he was also wary.

Song Xiyue has always harbored ill will toward her family, and there is no guarantee that she will not teach her daughter to hate herself and Xiangxiang as well.

But now Lu Yun is a maid in the palace, and she has no right to let her down.

Forget it, during this time in the palace, I asked the maids to pay more attention and don't let Xiang Xiang get in the way of others.

In the next few days, Chang An had nothing to do in the Prince's Mansion. Sometimes he talked with Prince Ansai's nanny, and sometimes he went out for a walk with Xiang Xiang and Nao Nao.

The water in the two large ponds in the city has almost bottomed out, but there are still people doing laundry and vegetables in them.

Chang'an sighed and quietly threw in a glass bead. He estimated that the pond would not dry up within three years.

The next day, the people in the city were excited to see the two large ponds full of clear water again.

"God's eyes are open! We finally have water!" Some people rushed to tell each other, while others cried with joy.

When we had such a good pond, we almost took it for granted and didn't realize how good it was. Once we lost it, we realized how precious it was.

"I know what's going on! I saw Mrs. Lu coming here yesterday afternoon. She should have brought this water, right?"

"It's possible! When Mrs. Lu lived in Ansai City, we never lacked water. Once they left, those ponds and reservoirs gradually dried up. Oh my god! Is Mrs. Lu the reincarnation of the water god?"

The people had different opinions, and finally they invited stonemasons to carve a statue of the water god and place it next to the pond.

Chang'an knew nothing about this and was very tired after staying in Ansai for a few days, so he planned to return to Anding the day after.

In the afternoon, Changan took a short rest, and when he woke up, he saw his daughter and son making trouble.

"Where did Xiangxiang and Nao Nao go?" Chang'an asked the maid next to him.

The maid replied: "Miss Xiangxiang is taking the young master out to play. Don't worry, there are four maids following her."

Changan frowned: "Where did you go to play? It's almost dark today, why aren't you back?"

The maid hurriedly said: "I guess I went to the market to buy candies. I will go find them right now. Don't worry."

Can Chang'an not be in a hurry?

At this moment, she was feeling panicked and wished she could see the two children immediately to feel at ease.

"I'll go look for it with you!" Chang An put on his clothes and shoes and walked out of the yard, hurried to the gate of the palace.

After running out of the palace, Chang An ran toward the market, looking around while running.

There were no people in the market, but a large group gathered at the pond.

Chang An became even more panicked and ran over there quickly.

After pushing aside the crowd, we saw several people in the pond. Some were swimming towards the middle holding wooden blocks, while others were sitting in large wooden basins and swaying inward.

"Ouch! Why did all the children fall into the water? This is terrible! They all sank for a while, right?"

"There are two children who seem to belong to Mrs. Lu's family, right? Last time I saw Mrs. Lu taking them out to play."

When Changan heard this, he almost fainted.

Why did my own two children fall into the pond without any problems?

She didn't think much and jumped down.

The large pond in the city is two or three feet deep in the middle. Fortunately, the water is clear and you can see the bottom at a glance.

As soon as Chang'an entered the water, she was as agile and smooth as a fish. Her long gauze skirt floated in the water like a fish's tail, stunning everyone on the shore.

Under the clear water, Xiangxiang hugged Nao Nao tightly and floated quietly in the water, her eyes closed tightly, as if she was asleep.

Chang'an grabbed the two of them with one hand, paddled the water with the other hand, and swam quickly to the surface.

People on the shore also stretched out their hands to pick up the two children, and the experienced ones helped them control the water.

Xiangxiang was slapped, and she suddenly opened her eyes and burst into tears.

The cry was loud and loud, not like someone choking on water at all. Then Nao Nao started crying and shouted to find his grandma.

Seeing that his children were fine, Chang'an went back and fished out the two maids.

The two maids were accused of drinking so much water that they couldn't even speak and their faces were horribly pale.

Chang'an asked the servants and maids who came with him to carry the two of them back to the palace, while he took his children back with him.

Back in the courtyard, Ming Jin also rushed over and asked repeatedly what was going on.

"They were playing by the water and fell into the pond." Chang An said calmly: "Fortunately, everything is fine. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

Ming Jin felt relieved and apologized: "It's all the people in the palace who failed to take good care of me. Xiao Wang is here to apologize to you."

Chang'an smiled and said, "Your Highness, please stop doing this. You are ruining my concubine."

After a pause, he added: "I have to take care of my children now, so I won't apologize to Your Highness. Please forgive me."

When Ming Jin heard this, he had no choice but to say goodbye.

Chang'an walked into the house and asked everyone to go out, leaving only the government doctor and two medicine boys.

"Doctor, is my child okay?" Chang'an asked.

Although Xiangxiang and Nao Nao carry amulets given by themselves, they are too young and some things cannot be completely avoided.

The doctor cupped his fists and said, "Your love and your son are not seriously ill. They are just a little frightened. I will prescribe a calming soup for them and they will be fine after drinking it."

Chang'an saluted: "Sorry for your trouble."

"Ma'am, you don't have to be polite. This is my job."

The doctor said: "It's just that the other two choked on a lot of water. Although they are under control, we still have to pay attention to them not to have fever."

Of course, it’s not about catching colds and fever. Many people who choke on water will die from lung infection.

"Understood." Chang'an asked his maid Chunxiu to take out fifty taels of silver and count it as the government doctor's consultation fee.

After everyone left, Chang An asked in a low voice what happened today.

The little maid cried and said: "They are two maids from the palace. They led the young master to play by the pond. When the slaves chased him, he had already fallen in."

"Later, Miss Xiangxiang also jumped into the water, trying to save the young master. Wuwuwuwu. The servant had to beg the two maids of the palace to come back to report the news, and then she also went into the water to save people. In the end, the slave was useless and could not save the young lady and the young master."

The two maids were no more than ten years old. They cried profusely and kept coughing.

Chang'an closed his eyes and whispered: "Don't tell anyone about this for the time being."

Otherwise, they may not be able to return to Anding Mansion safely.

The little maid nodded and said with sobs: "Actually, we don't want to leave the house today, but those two people have been persuading Miss Xiangxiang to take her to see interesting things."

"Is that person Lu Yun?" Changan asked calmly.

Little maid: "No, it's the other two."

The palace sent a total of four maids, including Lu Yun and three others.

Chang'an squinted his eyes and thought for a while, but found that he couldn't remember the appearance of the other three people.

They wore the same dress, the same bun, and the same hair accessories. Even the bangs covering their eyes were exactly the same.

The maids of this palace are really weird.

If they had no intention, why didn't they report back to the palace? Why don't you tell yourself that Xiangxiang and Naonao fell into the water?
For such a long time, if Xiangxiang and Nao Nao hadn't been wearing the amulets they gave them, they would have drowned in the pond today.

But why?

This marriage was not requested by my family, and I have no intention of clinging to the royal family.

If Ming Jin really doesn't want to get married, he can just tell him the prince's father. Why bother killing people?
