Chapter 214

The moment Cui Pu jumped off the Slender West Lake, a small boat came galloping in the night and picked him up.Then the boat turned around and headed towards the big painting boat before them.

Princess Tang Chang and Wu Lixin looked at the boat that was drifting away, their expressions became very ugly.

Among them, Wu Lixin was very anxious.

"Princess, what should I do? Cui Liu actually said just now..."

"If you want to get rid of the suspicion, you can jump like him too! You will prove your innocence by jumping, do you need me to teach you this?" Princess Tang Chang said coldly, then turned and went back to the cabin.

Wu Lixin couldn't move forward or retreat immediately.

Jump, will this deep and cold lake drown him?Don't jump, everyone on the Slender West Lake should have heard Cui Pu's shout just now, right?Did they really think he was having an affair with Princess Tang Chang?
He hesitated for a long time, tested his legs back and forth on the side of the boat for a long time, and finally retreated slowly into the cabin: "Princess, can you ask the boatman to take me back?"

"I'll take you back? You're not afraid that your colleagues will really think you and I are together when they see this?" Princess Tang Chang said coolly.

"This... I am not afraid of the shadow slanting. Sooner or later, they will know that you and I, the princess, are innocent."

"But I can't bear others to pull me and you together. You'd better jump into the lake! That way I can breathe a sigh of relief." Princess Tang Chang said, "If you don't dare to jump by yourself, I'll ask someone to help you .”

Wu Lixin's body became cold all of a sudden. "Princess, we are also allies after all, why are you so cruel to your allies?"

"If you can help me achieve what I want, we will be allies. But now that everyone else has run away, do you think this alliance is still valid?" Princess Tang Chang sneered, "Besides, he will do nothing to keep his reputation." Why can’t you just jump off the boat without hesitation? Are you more noble than him?”

Isn't he more noble than that bastard?He is the heir apparent of the Wu family, and he will assist King Shou in the future!Wu Lixin really wanted to shout like this.It's just that the crown prince is still in power now, so he dare not say such words hastily.

Princess Tang Chang wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with him, so she waved her hands and said, "Come on, you go and help Mr. Wu Erlang."

The boy who had left behind earlier reappeared, dragging Wu Lixin outside without any explanation.

Wu Lixin was stunned for a moment - she really wanted to throw him into the lake!The bitch!
"Princess, you'd better let them let me go, or you'll regret it! You'll—ah—"

Regardless of whether Princess Tang Chang will regret it in the future, anyway, he has already regretted it now.

It's just that the emotion of regret only circled in his mind, and was immediately replaced by endless fear.

The icy lake water came from all directions and soon surrounded him.His clothes were no longer able to cover him, and the chill in the water soaked through his clothes, rushing directly to his limbs and bones, making him almost want to shrink into a ball.

"Help—" He opened his mouth to scream, but the lake water poured into his mouth immediately.He accidentally drank several mouthfuls.

Struggling like this, his body sank deeper and deeper, and countless fears permeated his whole body. Could it be that he is going to die here today?
He thought in fear, and struggled again.

After what seemed like a lifetime, finally another oar was stretched out in front of him, and someone shouted at him, "Catch it!"

Immediately he gripped the oars tightly with both hands.The people over there slowly dragged him back, finally dragged him into the boat, and he lay flat on the board of the boat, still holding the oars tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.

The boatman told him to let go, but it was no use shouting several times, so he took out a new oar and used it.

Wu Lixin gradually came back to his senses, and then got up with the oars in his arms, and saw himself in a tattered boat, slowly moving forward on the wide lake.The painting boat of Princess Tang Chang in the back has gone far away, while the painting boat of the county magistrates in the front is still far ahead.

At this time, a gust of evening wind blew, and the bone-eating chill invaded every crevice of the body again.He shivered several times before he stuttered and said, "Hurry up and send me back! It's the biggest painting boat ahead, with many beauties painted on it!"

"Okay, let's go!" The boatman immediately swung the oars quickly.

Although the boat is small, it is light and convenient.After a short meeting, Ye Xiaozhou has already reached the vicinity of the big painting boat.Seeing that his own people were right in front of him, Wu Lixin hurriedly urged the boatman, "Quickly ask the people on the boat to come down with a ladder to pick me up!"

"It's fine to call someone, but please pay the money for saving you first." The boatman immediately stretched his rough hand towards him, "There are twenty strings in total, and I won't do without a penny."

"Twenty Guan? You are stealing money!" Wu Lixin yelled.

The boatman rubbed his nose: "Our family has been boating on the Slender West Lake to save people for generations. During the day, we saved one person's money, and at night, we saved one person's money. You must have offended me when you were thrown from such a big boat just now." You are noble, right? You see, no one else dared to save you, but I dared to fish you out of the water, you must give me some money to suppress you? And you also took a boat from me Pao, now you still ask me to call someone for you, don’t you charge for your hard work? With this time, I can save several more people. It’s not too much to charge you twenty pennies.”

Only then did Wu Lixin realize that he was holding a broken oar that he hadn't planted yet, and quickly threw the thing away in disgust. "This paddle is returned to you!"

"But twenty strings can't be less. Sir, you have to pay, or I'll take you back to the original place and throw you down again. You can find a way to go back by yourself." The boatman said indifferently, and used the boat The oar hit the water a few times.

The ship shook violently a few times, and Wu Lixin's body also swayed from side to side.Looking at the cold lake water around him, his eyes darkened, and his stomach churns again—no, he's seasick again!
"Give it! Twenty guan, I'll give it to you when I go up!" He compromised.

"No, give it now. Give it to me and send you up."

"You... good! Give it now, give it now!"

People under the eaves had to bow their heads.Wu Lixin had no choice but to call his servant to throw down another twenty gold leaves, and finally got his personal freedom.

Hmph, let him get on the boat now.In the future, he must have someone come and capture this bastard who is sitting on the ground alive, and tear him apart, making his life worse than death!Unfortunately, when he came back a few days later, he was told that the boatman had long since disappeared!

Say now.When he managed to climb onto the boat and entered the cabin, he saw all the people surrounding Cui Pu, booing and asking if they were warm.And he, who just recovered his life from the lake, is still drenched and shivering, but no one cares about him at all!
Such a huge difference in treatment made him feel a little bit chilled.

He coughed heavily.

Someone turned around when they heard the voice.But when they found out it was him, they all had a look of disgust in their eyes, and they immediately turned away.Only Wei Wu rushed over: "Wu Xianzun, why did you fall into the water? What a coincidence, Cui Xianzun has just used up the hot water, but there is still a set of dry clothes in the cabin, how about you first?" Put on your clothes! Wait for the hot water to heat up before you take a bath."

Let's warm up for a while first!Wu Lixin nodded without hesitation.

But before he raised his foot, Cui Pu shouted, "Wei Wu!"

"Cui Xianzun!" Wei Wu hurriedly ran over.

Seeing Cui Pu stand up unsteadily, his pale face was full of anger: "Call the boat to shore! I want to get off the boat, and I will never be under the same roof with such shameless people again!"

"Yes yes yes, I'm going to ask the boatman to come to shore, Cui County respect you, please be safe and take care of your body." Wei Wu hurriedly comforted him softly, then turned his head and winked quietly at Wu Lixin.

What does it mean?Does he have to be sneaky when he goes down to change clothes?Wu Lixin was not happy.

It's just that Wei Wu is still the person the Wei family arranged for Cui Pu!At this time, people can still think about helping him change clothes, which is already very good.If he does it again, Cui Pu will definitely let him get off the boat in this state!

So, he got out of the cabin aggrievedly, hid in the hull of the lower deck, took off his wet clothes, and put on a dry, rough bunt.Although it was made of coarse cloth, it was still warm in the sun during the day, and it felt a burst of warmth when it was worn on the body, which drove away the cold air all over the body.Now he feels much more comfortable on his body, and he doesn't feel disgusted for the time being.

Soon the boat docked, and Cui Pu immediately walked down trembling.Then climbed into the carriage to Wei's house, without even saying goodbye to the big guy.

The other county magistrates also understood his current mood very well, and instead swarmed up to appease him, telling him to be careful on the road.

And when Wu Lixin changed his clothes and came out, the faces of the big guys collectively changed again.Although there was no obvious expression of contempt, everyone looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

When Wu Lixin saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurried forward and said, "Everyone listen to my explanation, Princess Tangchang and I—"

"Master Wuxian, it's very late now, and you've caught the cold again, so hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger soup to rest, and forget about other things. We should also go back to the post house to rest. It's not too late to chat." A square-faced county magistrate immediately interrupted him, and cupped his hands, "The county is tired, so I'll go back to the posthouse first."

With him taking the lead, the others left with excuses.

Wu Lixin stood there alone, his face livid with anger.

"Lang Jun, shall we go back now?" the servant asked cautiously.

Wu Lixin slapped him across the face with his backhand. "Of course I'll go back! If I don't go back, will you let me freeze to death here? Or do you think this coarse cloth is not enough to lose me?"

Today is really unlucky!If he knew that many things would happen here one after another, he would never come back!
All blame on the hateful Cui Pu!All of this was provoked by him!

Over there in the Wei Mansion, because Mu Yiyi had a good chat with Mu Jiaojiao and sisters, he actually drove her husband and son-in-law to the study to sleep, while the two sisters shared the same bed and continued their private evening conversation.

While talking, Mu Jiaojiao was so sleepy that she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, but she heard three knocks on the door. The eldest sister Mu Yiyi hurriedly got up and went out, and then she heard the anxious voice of her brother-in-law Wei Zhuang: "Hurry up and get six!" Sister shouted, the sixth brother-in-law is sick!"

As soon as Mu Jiaojiao heard that Cui Pu was involved, she quickly turned over and got up.

When she went outside, she happened to see Cui Pu being carried in.A person who was still alive and kicking during the day was now blushing, but his body was trembling non-stop.

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao came out, Wei Zhuang hurriedly said: "The sixth brother-in-law fell into the Slender West Lake just now, although he was caught in time, he still started to have a fever. Sixth brother, please show him quickly!"

Mu Jiaojiao stepped forward and met Cui Pu's eyes.Cui Pu blinked and smiled at her with difficulty: "My lady, I'm back."

Mu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and suddenly lifted his sleeves, and suddenly saw a two-inch long wound appearing in front of her eyes.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang and Mu Yiyi couldn't help gasping.

The edge of this wound is sharp, and it looks like a sharp scratch.Now there is no bleeding, only some faint blood oozing out.The flesh on both sides has been soaked white by the water, and the flesh is slightly rolled up to the sides, which looks very scary.

Mu Jiaojiao's eyes darkened: "Red beans."

"Lady!" Hong Dou quickly carried a small box over.

"Yunnan Baiyao, dissolve it in warm water; Angong Niuhuang Pill, also dissolve it in warm water." Mu Jiaojiao said, turning to Wei Zhuang, "Brother-in-law, is there any medicine shop open now? I want a bunch of mugwort leaves."

"Yes, yes, I'll ask someone to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine!" Wei Zhuang nodded quickly, turned around and left.

Soon Yunnan Baiyao and Angong Niuhuang Pills melted, and Mu Jiaojiao fed them to Cui Pu one by one.Immediately, Ai Ye was also brought over, and Mu Jiaojiao said: "Then go down and fry the soup, it should be thick."

Mu Yiyi hurriedly went down to order people to do things.

When the thick juice boiled by mugwort leaves arrived, Mu Jiaojiao and you did not pretend to be someone else's hand, so they dipped it in with a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the sides of Cui Pu's body.again and again.

After almost an hour, the high fever on his body dissipated, and his body didn't shake much.Perhaps it was because of being tormented too much, as early as the middle of the trip, Cui Pu was extremely tired and fell asleep.

Mu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wounds on his arms and lips, and closed his eyes again: "Red beans, cut Zhangzhou Pien Tze Huang into small pieces."

After the two wounds were tidied up for him, Mu Yiyi and Wei Zhuang came in again: "Sister-in-law, how is brother-in-law?"

"It's all right. Get some sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow morning." Mu Jiaojiao said, and suddenly turned to look at Wei Zhuang, "Brother-in-law, did Princess Tang Chang come to him just now?"
