But this pool is located behind the apricot blossom forest. It is in a remote location. The apricot blossoms are gone now. Almost no one will come here, let alone someone passing by who can save her.
Cui Yunxi, who was gradually exhausted, had no choice but to try her best not to struggle anymore and let herself adjust her breath to float on the water as much as possible, hoping to buy herself more time and persist until someone found her and rescued her.
Time passes minute by minute.
Cui Yunxi felt more and more that she couldn't hold on anymore. Her body could no longer control the sinking, and the water had reached the corners of her mouth. When she couldn't hold her breath, she even drank a few mouthfuls of water from the pool.
At this moment, a man came over and saw a person floating in the water.
The man quickly took off his coat, threw off his shoes and socks, and quickly jumped into the water with a "plop" to save Cui Yunxi, who was about to lose his ability to hold on.
He quickly swam to Cui Yunxi and grabbed Cui Yunxi to swim back quickly. However, Cui Yunxi had no strength and her dress was too heavy. He tried several times but could not drag Cui Yunxi to the shore. In the end, he could only swim a little bit.
Drag her ashore.
At this time, Cui Yunxi was soaked like a drowned rat, clinging to her body. Her pale face looked tired, and the water on her hair was still dripping down her face. Fortunately, she didn't drink a few water, and her consciousness was still clear.
Cui Yunxi raised her head to see the man who saved her life, and realized that it was the Fourth Prince Ning Siyu who saved her.
Although Cui Yunxi felt very tired, she looked at the fourth prince who had just saved her and his clothes were all wet. She used her strength to say: "Thank you, fourth prince, for saving me."
Looking at Cui Yunxi's embarrassed appearance, one can't help but feel a trace of pity.
Ning Siyu knelt down in front of Cui Yunxi and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law three, how are you? Are you okay?"
Cui Yunxi shook her head and said it was okay.
Ning Siyu then asked: "Why did the third sister-in-law come here? How did she fall into the water?"
Cui Yunxi was extremely depressed and didn't want to talk, but she couldn't tell the truth to Ning Siyu, so as not to implicate Ning Siyu's reputation, but she had just saved her, so she couldn't help but answer.
She thought about it several times in her mind, and finally had to say: "I just wanted to take a walk, but somehow I ended up here. I saw the beautiful fish in the pool. Maybe I stood too close to the front and accidentally slipped into the pool.
Fortunately, the fourth prince passed by, thank you very much."
The explanation is reasonable and there seems to be nothing suspicious about it.
Ning Siyu nodded and said, "I'm going to call someone. You sit here and take your time. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to walk back by yourself like this."
Cui Yunxi nodded quickly.
Ning Siyu hurried all the way to the longevity palace. He took the alleys in the palace to avoid being seen.
When he arrived at the Longevity Palace, the people in the palace looked surprised when they saw that he was all wet.
Ning Siyu only asked the palace attendants to ask Ning Siyu to come out, but he did not go in.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?" Ning Siyu came out and asked in surprise when he saw Ning Siyu looking like a drowned rat.
"I'm not going in because I'm afraid that the imperial grandmother will see me. Third brother, please go to the apricot blossom forest. Third sister-in-law has fallen into the water." Ning Siyu said directly.
Ning Siyu was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, and followed Ning Siyu to the apricot blossom forest.
