The warm afternoon in spring is getting deep, and Shangguan Wanning is used to sitting by the lotus pond in the garden.
She carelessly fed the carp in the pond, and her thoughts were a little complicated.
In a vague sense, she seemed to notice something strange. When she looked down, a green snake was quickly approaching her. The bright red letter swallowed and spit out, and the pair of eyes as big as mung beans exuded coldness.
The cold light.
Shangguan Wanning felt cold all over and couldn't help screaming.
The maid who was serving beside her was so scared that she was speechless and subconsciously retreated.
Five or six girls were pushing each other on the narrow wooden bridge. Shangguan Wanning felt that someone had hit her waist, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell backwards.
She bumped into the rockery next to her, and her blood was flowing, and she felt dizzy.
She endured the pain and tried her best to support her to stand up, but suddenly she was hit by the maid who ran over again.
With a "puzzle", Shangguan Wanning fell into the lotus pond. The cold pool water flooded her, and she felt that the whole world had become quiet in a trance.
"Come here... Help... the eldest lady fell into the water..."
Lutong was so anxious that she burst into tears. Her loud cry for help attracted nearby servants and ran to the lotus pond. She was about to jump into the water to save people, but was stopped by Aunt Zhao who rushed over.
"No, you are all big men. If you go into the water to save the eldest lady, you will inevitably pull and pull. If this is spread, the eldest lady's reputation will be ruined. How can you get married in the future?"
Aunt Zhao's words made the servants feel scared and stood aside and hesitated.
Lutong cried even harder when she saw this scene.
"What else is more important than the life of a young lady? The young lady is not familiar with the nature of the water. Go and save her quickly, otherwise she will die... Please..."
Lutong's begging did not bring anyone's actions, and Aunt Zhao seemed even more slow.
"Go and find some old maids who are good at water."
Lu Tong saw through Aunt Zhao's thoughts and glared at her fiercely.
"What's up?"
A thick voice came, and Lutong turned her head and saw it, as if she had seen a savior, rushed over and knelt down.
"General, the eldest lady fell into the water..."
Zheng Binghong jumped down without waiting for Lutong to finish his words. He groped in the lotus pond and rescued Shangguan Wanning, who had already fallen into a coma.
"Hurry, I will pass on the imperial physician." Zheng Binghong dripped water all over his body, and he rushed into the room with Shangguan Wanning. "Ning'er, wake up, it's my uncle... Don't be afraid, wake up, my uncle will protect you...
”
Shangguan Wanning wanted to open her eyes in a daze, but her vision was still white and blurred.
She tried hard to open her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything and fainted.
Shangguan Wanning didn't know how long she had been sleeping. When she woke up, she found herself in a darkness, with gusts of wind and mist around her.
What is this place?
She has never been here before.
Shangguan Wanning plucked up her courage to move forward, but no matter how she walked, she seemed to be unable to get out of this darkness. She seemed to be the only living person in the nearby area, and she could even hear the echo of her breathing.
"Where is this?"
Fear spread and expanding in every pore in Shangguan Wanning's body.
Finally, she seemed to hear the slight footsteps coming from behind her. She hurriedly turned around.
Mu Jingrui stood in front of her covered in blood.
The long scattered hair covered most of his face, and blood marks were still oozing out blood. His eyes were vicious and he exuded a sharp murderous aura all over his body.
He approached her step by step.
"What happened to Jing Rui...?"
Mu Jingrui did not answer, his eyes became more fierce and he suddenly rushed towards her.
"Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wanning shouted and sat up quickly.
"Miss, how are you?" Lutong hurried forward and asked anxiously.
Shangguan Wanning gasped in horror and hurriedly. She looked around. It was sunny outside, and here was her familiar boudoir.
Lutong's anxious and caring eyes in front of her made her feel warm and she couldn't help but hug Lutong.
"Miss, are you having a nightmare?"
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but shivered when she thought of Mu Jingrui's appearance in her dream. She then realized that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and bursts of burning pain came from her forehead.
Only then did she vaguely remember some pictures, and the memory was frozen at the moment when she fell into the water.
"Lutong, what happened?"
Lu Tong said the matter in detail, but when she remembered it, she was still scared and sobbed, "Fortunately, the general arrived in time, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable. Miss, if you have anything to do, I will not be able to survive."
Shangguan Wanning patted Lutong's back and comforted her a few words. She recalled the snake that appeared unexpectedly and the scene when she bumped into the rockery...
I'm afraid it's not accidental.
"Ning'er, you're awake." Mrs. Shangguan walked in and sat down beside her daughter's bed, feeling heartbroken, "Does it still hurt? It's so pitiful... so hurt."
"Mom, I'm fine." Shangguan Wanning didn't want her mother to worry, so she hid all the suspicions in her heart.
She looked out the window, and estimated that she had not been in a coma for too long, and asked, "Mom, where is my uncle? Fortunately, he saved me today."
"Your uncle is talking to your father in the study. After all, you have grown up and it is not convenient for him to enter your room. I will send someone to tell him that you are awake so that he can rest assured."
Mrs. Shangguan tidied up her messy long hair for Shangguan Wanning and said, "Look at you, you are covered in sweat. I will tell my servants to prepare bath water for you."
"Mom, do you know what it is for my uncle to look for my father?"
"I never ask about men's affairs. But when I went to the study just now, I heard them say that His Royal Highness had won the battle and was on the way back to the court. At the latest, I would be able to return to the capital the day after tomorrow.
”
Shangguan Wanning was stunned, and a huge surprise spread in her heart.
Mu Jingrui did not disappoint her wishes, and he really returned triumphantly.
"Ning'er, what's wrong with you? Is it cold? Why are you trembling all over?"
Shangguan Wanning came back to her senses, with a little more joy in her expression. "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
Mrs. Shangguan did not continue to ask questions and ordered Lutong and a few mature and polite nannies to prepare hot water for Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wan was filled with thoughts and kept recalling all the things in her previous life.
Assisting the prince ascended the throne, finding out the truth that the Mu family was framed, and allowing Mu Jingrui to become famous, she could save hundreds of lives from the Shangguan family and the Zheng family.
