A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 531
Fortunately, survival is a human instinct, the maid managed to emerge from the lake, took a few breaths of cold air, and was about to call for help when a figure squatted down on the shore, held her head down and went to the lake again. sink in the water.

The eunuch only sank a few times, and did not hold her down fiercely, but suppressed his voice and said: "Don't blame me, blame Princess Yin Wu, you stepped on her skirt in the palace, she wanted to you die."

"Help...cough cough...help..."

Meng Yan and Chongyi were walking when they suddenly heard movement ahead.

Even though the cry for help was so subtle that it was almost inaudible, the sound of the splashing water when struggling was very obvious.

Immediately, the two walked quickly to the corner at the end of the path. Xunsheng saw someone struggling in the water by the lake, and the eunuch squatting on the bank was slowly standing up.

The eunuch hadn't had time to stop, and he didn't know whether he wanted to push him again or drag him up, but because of the sudden appearance of Meng Yan and Chongyi, he ran away without even thinking about it.

Seeing him run away, Chongyi of course ran after him.

The eunuch plunged into the dark woods and disappeared.

Meng Yan immediately walked to the lake where people were struggling, and saw that the person in the water seemed to be a court lady, and seeing that she was about to sink due to the struggle, Meng Yan grabbed her hand and dragged her to the shore.

Suddenly there was a splash of water, and the water splashed from the lake wet the corners of Meng Yan's skirt, causing a burst of icy cold.

At this time, two more eunuchs happened to come from the other side of the path, but when they saw the situation here, they didn't step forward to help, but turned around and left in a hurry as if they were afraid of seeing it.

After all, there are too many right and wrong in this palace, if you want to live a long time, you can't meddle too much.

Meng Yan didn't notice them either.

The maid was drenched, and when she was on the verge of despair, someone pulled her, and she regarded it as a life-saving straw. After landing, she was still dazed, clutching Meng Yan's skirt tightly.

Soon Chongyi returned without success, returned to Meng Yan's side, and immediately blocked the court lady from Meng Yan's face.

Chongyi looked at the maid vigilantly, and said to Meng Yan: "The eunuch is familiar with the surroundings, and he only ran to the dark place, I didn't dare to chase too far."

She was afraid that if it happened, she would divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Chongyi asked the maid again: "How did you fall into the water? Why did that man run away just now?"

She and Meng Yan didn't see it with their own eyes, so they weren't sure if it was the man who pushed her into the water just now, but the man turned his head and ran away as soon as he saw them, there must be something tricky about it.

The palace maid said intermittently in a trembling voice: "He pushed me down... He said that Princess Yin Wu wanted me to die..."

Chongyi yelled angrily: "Fart! Princess Yin Wu is here, she really wants you to die, why bother you, we just leave!"

The palace maid burst into tears.

Although she was no different from a drowned chicken, Meng Yan still recognized her with squinted eyes, and said, "You are the maid from the palace earlier."

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then she also recognized Meng Yan, and she cried with her forehead on the ground: "Your servant knows that the concubine really wants the servant to die, so she won't save the servant tonight... The servant was disrespectful to the concubine earlier, but the concubine was willing to help her." , servants are grateful!"

Upon hearing this, Chongyi asked coldly, "What did you do before?"

The palace maid was trembling and sobbing, and said: "I will not lie to the concubine, all the previous servants were ordered by Miss Xie. She let the servants trip the princess and make the princess embarrassing in public. The servants dare not disobey... oh, but the servants Never would I have thought that she would have someone push her slaves down to the lake to frame the concubine and empress..."

If Meng Yan hadn't happened to pass by here, the court lady must have really thought that Meng Yan ordered someone to do it.

In this way, Meng Yan had reason to believe that the eunuch just now didn't really want the life of the court lady.

He might just push the court lady into the lake to scare her, tell her that Princess Yin Wu wants her life, and then get her up, and then say something to win her over, that's the foreplay. up.

Otherwise, if this court lady is really drowned, who will testify against the "murderer" Meng Yan?
It's just that before it was too late, this scene happened to be bumped into, no wonder the eunuch turned around and ran away without saying a word.

If he doesn't run away, people can see his face clearly, and when the maid in the water catches him up and confronts him, then they will all go out.

Meng Yan didn't know whether she was lucky or not.

If it is said that she is lucky, someone will secretly try to get her involved; if it is said that she is unlucky, they will just turn around and go to the murder scene that someone else is going to arrange for her.

In the end, the maid kowtowed to Meng Yan and said, "The maidservant's life was saved by the concubine. If the concubine needs it, the servant is willing to testify for the concubine!"

Meng Yan looked at her and said, "You'd better go back and change your wet clothes first."

The maid kowtowed again to thank her, probably because she was so cold that she was shaking like a sieve, and she couldn't get up for a while.

Seeing her like this, Meng Yan didn't know if she could carry her back and change into dry clothes. After thinking about it, she took off the cloak on her body and put it on her, saying: "This can also block the wind, so run away when you go back." Hurry up, don't freeze to death on the way."

The maid was stunned for a moment, her eyes were looking at Meng Yan, her eyes were red from crying.

In the end, she wrapped her cloak tightly and ran away.

Chongyi was worried, and said: "What if that court lady has ulterior motives? Why did the princess give her the cloak?"

Meng Yan said indifferently: "What can a cloak do? Are you afraid it will be like the handkerchief last time? It also needs to have mad dogs in the palace."

She lowered her head to look at the corner of her skirt, which was wet and wet, and simply squatted down to wring the water off the corner of the skirt, and said calmly: "She was just ordered to step on the corner of my skirt in public. , is not guilty of death."

After twisting the corners of the skirt a few times, Meng Yan raised her head to look at the vast and deep lake, and said, "I did this to save her life, but if she uses it against me instead, of course I will be the first to find her." She settles the score, as long as she doesn't think she's tired of working."

After finishing speaking, Meng Yan stood up on her knees and left with Chongyi.

There was only a puddle of water left at the place by the lake, with a faint cold light, and the grass was also wet and bright.

When they were both gone, the path returned to a dead silence.

A cold wind blew, and the sound of the wind wandered among the trees.

Only then did a figure slowly come out from the darkness.

It was the figure of a woman, wearing Chinese clothes and golden hairpins. Under the cold moonlight, one could faintly see a blue shawl in her arms, and the soft ends danced with the wind.

She walked slowly to the water-stained place where Meng Yan and the palace maid stayed just now, stopped for a while, then slowly squatted down, and reached out to pick up something in the wet grass.

She lifted it up and saw that it was a wet sachet with drops of water still hanging from the fringe of the sachet.
