Chapter 146 It's Not Saved

Several palace maids heard the question and turned their heads to see Wei Ying, they all stood up quickly and saluted her incessantly.

Wei Ying waved her hands impatiently, glanced at a pond built next to a rockery in front of her, and then turned to the drenched maid on the ground, and asked repeatedly: "What's going on?"

Several court ladies looked at each other, and one of them replied in a low voice: "Princess, when we came here, we found Xi'er floating on the pond, so we begged a passing father-in-law to rescue her, but no matter what No matter what we call her, she hasn't woken up, I'm afraid it's, I'm afraid it's..."

The palace lady couldn't continue talking when she said this, she lowered her head and let out a soft sob.

Wei Ying squatted down, probed in front of Xi'er's nose, and found that she was no longer breathing.

She glanced at Xi'er's exposed skin, only to see that the skin was swollen and pale, it looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time.

Wei Ying lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, thinking that Xi'er must have heard the news that Shen Guo's army was attacking the Duke's Palace, and she stumbled and fell into this not-so-shallow pond while running in a hurry, and the place is located in a remote place. Few people came, she didn't know how to swim and no one came to rescue her, so she was drowned.

She scanned Xi'er's body with thoughtful eyes, and found that Xi'er's age should be similar to hers, and her figure should be similar.

Just looking at it like this, Wei Ying's eyes gradually lost focus, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

The maids who surrounded Xi'er felt Wei Ying's unusual silence in their grief, and couldn't help but look at each other.

After a long time, Wei Ying's eyes were fixed.

She stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Xi'er is hopeless, you should leave."

The maid who spoke earlier seemed to want to take Xi'er away and bury her, and opened her mouth to speak, but Wei Ying turned her head and looked at her coldly, choking back what she was about to say.

Wei Ying turned her head and looked around at these maids, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you still waste time here? The enemy army is about to attack, why don't you run for your lives?"

After saying that, she turned around with a flick of her sleeves, and walked quickly to the path just now.

After Wei Ying left, several court ladies looked at each other.

They looked at each other hesitantly, and then looked at Xi'er's body on the ground. After hesitating for a long time, one of them said hesitantly, "Or... shall we run away?"

Although these people have a good relationship with Xi'er, after all, the enemy army is about to come in now, and the others are running between the gates of the palace, trying to escape from the palace. As Wei Ying said, where are they? Time to bury Xi'er?

So after some hesitation, the few remaining people nodded, expressed their apologies to Xi'er's corpse one after another, turned and left together.

However, not long after they left, Wei Ying who had just left quietly turned back and came here.

She looked around cautiously, and found that all the maids had left, only Xi'er was lying there alone by the pond, so she walked over quickly.

Wei Ying walked to the side of Xi'er's dead body, first took off her coat and wrapped her tightly, emphatically covering her face, leaving only half of her calf.

Then Wei Ying picked up Xi'er with some difficulty, walked around the rockery and picked a remote path with few people, and walked quickly in the direction of Qingyang Hall.
