Fortunately, at this time, the housekeeper arrived with some servants.

Some were young, strong and good at swimming, so they immediately tied ropes and launched into the water in a hurry to rescue. Others pushed the boat into the water and quickly rowed towards the lake.

Yun Xihe watched from a distance as the servants in the mansion pulled Tuoba Kui and Yun Wangshu onto the boat with all their strength. However, Tuoba Kui only rested for a moment, then turned over again and began to skillfully pat Yun Wangshu on the boat.

Shu's back made her spit out the dirty water that was choking in her mouth and stomach.

And Yun Wangshu was like a puppet with its strings cut off, all limp and unresponsive.

The expression on Tuoba Kui's face gradually tightened, and the movements of his hands increased and he kept pressing. The boat was getting closer and closer to the shore. Yun Wangshu finally spat out a mouthful of dirty water with a loud sound, which made him choke and cough.

After several calls, he opened his eyes with a pale face and was helped to the shore.

Yun Wangshu started to cry as soon as he saw Yun Xihe, "Xihe... I almost died..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...it's okay, it's okay".

Yun Xi and Pai coaxed her, and she felt that her heart, which was tightly grasped by someone, could breathe. She stretched out her hand to feel Wang Shu's pulse, and checked around again, and found that she was only weak, and there was no other major problem.

However, he finally felt relieved and asked the maid to help Wangshu, who was shivering, to the backyard room to dry himself with cold water and change clothes.

Yun Wangshu wiped the corner of his eyes and stretched out his hand to pull the corner of her clothes, "Xihe, a round-faced girl deceived me, saying that you had something to do with me, so I went with her."

Yun Xihe raised his head, looked at the boundless night, breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer this grievance in vain. Follow the maid there quickly. If you are sick, your father and grandmother will be worried."

.”

Yun Wang snorted, then was helped by the maid to walk towards the backyard. After walking for a few words, he suddenly turned back and shouted with tears in his eyes, "Sister..."

Yun Xihe took a few steps forward, hugged her tightly, and wiped her tears away, "There is a sister here, go quickly."

Yun Wangshu nodded. Now her clothes were wet and the ice on her body was very uncomfortable. She had a lot to say in her heart, but in the end she could only say harshly, "I am the eldest lady of the Yun family, and I will be your sister."

Take advantage."

But even though he said this, he couldn't help but hug Yun Xihe tighter, burying his head in the hollow of her shoulder blades, and twitching his shoulders slightly.

A moist warmth flowed into Yun Xihe's neck.

Yun Wangshu cried so hard.

Ever since she returned to Chang'an and entered the Yun Mansion, no matter how she tried to commit suicide, how her mother Lin targeted her, or how outsiders criticized her, Yun Xihe had never targeted her for a moment. She could see that with Yun Xihe's strategy,

It is no exaggeration to say that turning one's hand can make the clouds turn into rain. If one wanted to kill her, it would be as simple as squeezing an ant to death.

But she has always been so kind to her.

Yun Xihe had a slight look of disgust on his face and wanted to push her away. What did it look like with so many people looking at her?

Yun Wangshu couldn't maintain the arrogant disguise, hugged her tighter, and started to cry, "Sister, you have to vent your anger on me."

Tuoba Kui took all this in his eyes calmly, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes. Is this how Yun Xihe treats his sister? If he treats Yun Wangshu like this, who is not related by blood, then...

Yun Xihe finally sent Yun Wangshu away, and then turned around to take a look.

Tuoba Kui was seen with his arms folded, his face pale, and the sound of his cold breathing lingered in his ears.

Yun Xihe lifted up his skirt and knelt down without saying a word, "Your Majesty Tuoba, thank you for your help today."

Tuoba Kui hurriedly reached out to help him and said in a trembling voice,

"Princess Xihe, there is no need to talk about these false etiquette. Today...hiss...how can you ignore death? I just didn't expect that this is the girl of the Yun family...The General of Zhenxi, Yun Qi, is her brother? I and Yun Qi

, we have met him several times, and it must be God’s will to save his sister..."

Yun Xihe was lifted up by him, and when his palms touched his cold fingers, he shrank subconsciously, seeing that even though he was in a mess, his tone was still gentle, as if the rescue that almost cost him his life just now was not worth mentioning at all.

.It seemed that saving the life of a strange woman was more important to him than anything else.

Is this still the rumored Tuoba Kui who killed his brother and father to usurp power? Is this clearly a god who sacrificed himself for others and descended to earth?

Yun Xihe was confused. Even if he had ulterior motives, it was true that he risked his life to save Wang Shu. "Your Majesty, do you have any clothes? Go to the wing to change first. Although it is summer, you can still soak in the water.

It’s best not to get sick for a long time.”

Tuoba Kui curled his lips, with a flattered look in his eyes, "Princess Xihe, no one has cared so much about me for a long time..."

What he said is true. Although he is the sixth prince of Xiliang, his biological mother died young and he was raised by the queen since he was a child. However, the queen has her own children and treats him indifferently. Every time his father sees him,

He always looked like he was sighing, and later he didn't want to go to anyone.

People in the palace always look down on those who are superior and those who are inferior. If it is good to give him a bite of food and drink, no one will care whether he is hot or cold.

He remembered that when he was a child, he and the fourth prince, the queen's direct descendants, were caught in the rain together. The fourth prince was delicate and frail and caught a cold and had a fever. The queen asked her nanny to push him into the water, saying that the sixth prince had a hard life, and as long as the sixth prince

After the illness is over, the fourth prince will recover as before...

Later, under the careful care of the imperial physician, the fourth prince's fever subsided before dawn. But he had a high fever and fell into coma. He lay desolately in bed for three days and three nights before he opened his eyes. No one cared about him from beginning to end.

Therefore, even if he knew that Yun Xihe said this because he saved Yun Wangshu, he still felt that it was very rare.

Qin Xuanling, on the other hand, frowned slightly and took a step forward. Without any restraint, he reached out and took Yun Xihe forcefully and brought him into his arms, raising his chin slightly.

"Your Majesty, you should hurry up and change your clothes. The banquet ahead is not over yet, why don't we, Emperor Dashun, wait?"

The expression on Tuoba Kui's face was stagnant. He looked at his hand on Xi He's shoulder, then he quickly recovered his thoughts and said with a smile, "What the prince said is, let us clean up, and we will see you at the table."

After a pause, he seemed to think of something and reminded,

"Princess Xihe, when we went to rescue Miss Yun just now, her clothes were torn off... The holes in the boat also seemed to be made by stones. There are restless people on the table. Princess, please pay more attention.

.”

His response was an obviously chilling one, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."

When she was standing by the lake waiting, the guard beside Qin Xuanling, Ah Shen, had already searched the area. Next to the stake where the boat was originally tied, there was a sharp stone stained with blood. She checked it for Yun Wangshu.

At that time, I didn't see any broken skin wounds on her body. I thought that the blood stains were left by the scheming person.

In this way, you only need to pay a little attention. If someone at the table today has an injury on his hand, you can find out the person behind the scenes.

Tuoba Kuiyu raised his hand and said, "Princess Xihe, there is no need to be polite to me. If I have some free time, I would like to ask the princess to be my host and take me to visit Chang'an City."

Yun Xihe smiled gratefully, "That's natural."

After Tuoba Kui left, Qin Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yun Xihe in his arms who did not reject him, tugged the corner of his lips, and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Xihe, your hair is messed up."

Later, several people changed their clothes, packed up and returned to the table. The table was still lively.

It was already Haishi, and everyone's drinking habits ranged from boxing to throwing pots, and then from throwing pots to composing poems. Some people left and some came back at the table. There was nothing special about it.

Yun Xihe continued to ask the maid to add more wine.

Emperor Qin Cang was already a little tipsy. When he saw Tuoba Kui coming back, he asked with a smile, "Your Majesty Tuoba, why have you been gone for such a long time?"

Tuoba Kui had a gentle smile on his light and elegant face, and he picked up the wine glass with some embarrassment, "Princess Xihe's yard is so big that I accidentally lost my way. I'd rather call the emperor for a long time."

Wait, it’s my fault.” After that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Qin Cang was very impressed by his humble and respectful attitude. As an emperor, Tuoba Kui was willing to bow his head in front of him, which gave him great satisfaction.

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter." Qin Cang laughed and raised the wine glass in front of him, "Here, do it!"

Tuoba Kui put down his wine glass, and the palace maid on the side wanted to pour him wine again, but he raised his hand to cover his own wine glass, and then took the whole wine bottle, "I haven't thanked Princess Xihe for the lotus banquet yet.

, I should go and toast her."

Qin Cang stroked his beard and said, "His Majesty Tuoba is still very polite."

When Yun Xihe returned to the table, the head of Xincheng County who had left earlier at her table had not returned yet. Princess Anyi had been sitting next to Jingbin, leaving only Princess Youning, Qin Xi and Pei Ji.

The two of them had a great time drinking and talking.

Tuoba Kui was carrying the wine flask with a just right distant yet gentle smile on his face, "Is it my honor to have a drink with you all?"

His eyes did not make contact with Yun Xi and Duo, as if they were still unfamiliar with each other.

Yun Xihe was already grateful to him, and now he was even more grateful for his kindness. He immediately stood up, took the wine bottle from his hand, and said in response, "Your Majesty Xiliang is so polite, Rong Xihe is here to pour the wine."

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the wine jug in his hand. It is the royal special gift specially prepared for today's banquet. It looks like it was brought from his own banquet. The golden liquid is poured out of the wine jug.

, which is also the golden plum wine prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eldest princess Qin Xi also stood up, nodded slightly to Tuoba Kui, and asked, "Your Majesty Tuoba, how was the banquet today? Did you enjoy it?"

Tuoba Kui smiled and said, "Seeing the lotus banquet shows that Princess Xihe is elegant, so she is very happy."

Pei Jijiu also said, "Such a scenery must be appreciated by people of high moral character. Otherwise, it will be like a cow chewing peonies."

After complimenting each other, the atmosphere became a little more lively. Yun Xihe refilled the wine for the four people at the table. Smelling the aroma of the wine, it was no different from before.

Just as everyone was raising their glasses to drink together, Tuoba Kui suddenly raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yun Xihe quickly, raised his hand and patted her wrist, and raised his chin behind her.

Yun Xihe didn't know why, so he followed his line of sight and looked back, only to see Wei Feifei, the head of Xincheng County, walking through the lively crowd. The handkerchief wrapped between the fingers of his right hand was particularly conspicuous.

Qin Xi and Pei Yu looked at each other and followed Yun Xihe's gaze.

Wei Feifei was stunned for a moment, facing everyone's gaze, feeling a little guilty, but quickly returned to normal, and smiled in a nonchalant manner, "Why are you all looking at me?"

Tuoba Kui curled his lips, reached out very quickly, and dropped a mung bean-sized pill into Yun Xihe's wine glass.
