"Young Master, you must hold on. I will take you upstairs right now."

Ji Chun gritted his teeth and continued to swim forward in despair.

I had already convinced myself that I shouldn't have too many fantasies about the prince, but when I saw the person I once slept in the same bed with gradually disappearing from my sight without looking back, the uncontrollable anger couldn't help but surge out of my heart.

If he wasn't careful, he would almost fall to the bottom of the lake.

Ji Chun tried to gather his strength and wanted to continue swimming forward, but he suddenly felt an unbearable severe pain in his abdomen. When he tried to lift his feet, he found that his entire ankle was completely sunk into the mud at the bottom of the lake.

"Someone, come quickly."

She endured the pain, screamed, and tried to pull her feet forward.

"Aunt Ji, you must hold on. I will come to pick you up soon."

Hearing faint shouts, Aunt Zhang became extremely panicked and ran forward desperately, sweating.

But her place is too far away from here, and I can't get there in a short time.

"You idiots, why don't you go down and save Aunt Ji."

Aunt Zhang was at a loss as she shouted to the two young eunuchs and Tan Qiu, "If anything happens to Aunt Ji and the young master, the Crown Prince's Consort will kill you."

The two young eunuchs were so frightened that they immediately jumped into the water, but they sank into the mud before they could move.

It was the beginning of autumn, and the entire lake was covered with lush green lotus leaves. It was impossible to see clearly what was happening inside the lake. No one who could swim would dare to enter the lake.

Nanny Zhang and Tan Qiu were at a loss and could only call for help while continuing to rush further away.

Ji Chun was in so much pain that she had no strength left. She was still some distance from the shore, but one of her feet was completely stuck in the mud and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried. She was completely panicked.

Thinking of the Crown Prince's Consort, and thinking about how he had not listened to her advice and failed her expectations, an infinite sense of guilt was spreading from his heart.

"Princess, I'm sorry for you."

With tears in her eyes, she bit her lips tightly and dug her feet firmly into the mud, trying her best to lift Lu Qingchen to a stalagmite not far away.

"Young Master, you must live well."

After Lu Qingchen drowned, he was in a daze. When he heard Ji Chun's voice, he suddenly woke up. Looking at the situation in front of him, he subconsciously reached out his hand and tightly grabbed the protruding rock next to him.

But when Lu Qingchen saw that only Ji Chun's head was exposed above the water, he was completely shocked and cried loudly out of sadness and fear.

Suppressing the coughing sound, he stretched out his other hand with difficulty and shouted anxiously: "Aunt Ji, please hold on to me."

Ji Chun shook his head, knowing that he had no hope, and tried to force a faint smile at him.

"My dear, you must remember what I say. Your father will have many women, but there will never be another person in this world who will treat you and Miss Yu more sincerely than the Crown Prince's Consort..."

"I remember, I remember, come up quickly."

Lu Qingchen cried even harder, watching the head completely sink into the water, leaving only a patch of red blood on the lake surface. He was so scared that he grabbed the rock and quickly turned his head to shout at the shore: "Come and save Aunt Ji quickly."

Aunt Zhang looked at the scene in front of her, her legs went limp, she knelt heavily, and roared at the top of her lungs, "Aunt Ji."

"Young Master, hold on tight, the prince has gone to call for help."

Tan Qiu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he could only keep comforting the young master.

Lu Linchu held the already comatose Yun Ling in his arms, and rushed to Yurongju while shouting to the servants who came to rescue him, "Go and bring Chen'er and Aunt Ji back."

Perhaps hearing this urgent call, Yun Ling suddenly woke up. Looking at the sweaty Lu Linchu, she explained in a weak voice:

"Linchu, please believe me. I really didn't mean to quarrel with Aunt Ji today. I just wanted to send the young master to Chuxian Palace as soon as possible, so that the Crown Prince's wife wouldn't worry about him every day. I didn't expect Aunt Ji to have the intention to harm me. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would never see you again."

Lu Linchu had a cold face, but he still had a lot of concern in his heart: "Don't say anything first, let's talk about it when we get back to Yurongju."

Yun Ling had just seen Ji Chun fall into the middle of the lake. Dusi Lake was so big that by the time the rescuers arrived, she and the young master would probably be dead.

"Young Master, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, just blame your father for changing his mind and not wanting to drive that woman away for me."

Yun Ling secretly rejoiced in her heart, but pretended to be very sad on the surface: "Lin Chu, I'm not going back. I want to go see the young master. He is drowning. Go and save him quickly."

"Aunt Ji is a good swimmer, she will rescue Chen'er."

Seeing that she looked very haggard, Lu Linchu couldn't help but frown and said, "Yunling, take care of yourself first, why worry about these things?"

"No, I must see the young master first before I can feel at ease."

Yun Ling grabbed his collar and shook her head weakly.

Seeing this, Lu Linchu had no choice but to obey her and hurried back.

As soon as Fu Guiyun returned home, he heard that something happened in Dusi Lake.

She hurried over there, and when she arrived at the lakeside, the servants were just fishing out Ji Chun's body. Lu Qingchen was being held tightly by Nanny Zhang, and had fallen into a coma.

"I am guilty. I deserve death. Please punish me, Princess."

Seeing Aunt Ji’s face covered in blood and mud with only a clean surface left, Aunt Zhang burst into tears and confessed her regret bitterly.

Fu Guiyun lowered his head with cold eyes and looked at Ji Chun's remains. His pale cheeks were soaked in water like a layer of white paper, and there was no trace of blood left.

For a moment, sadness and hatred intertwined together, making her speechless for a long time.

"Princess, Aunt Ji just wants to bring the young master to Chuxian Palace this time. She has no intention of provoking that bitch Yunling."

Aunt Zhang cried hysterically, "It was Aunt Ji who risked her life to save the young master to the shore, but the prince only cared about that bitch Yunling. Aunt Ji was carrying the prince's flesh and blood after all, so could the lives of two children not be worth the lives of that bitch?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a delicate and accusing voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "What are you talking about, Aunt Zhang? It's an emergency, how can the prince take care of so many things? You can only blame me for not knowing how to swim and causing trouble for everyone."

Fu Guiyun heard the voice, looked up, and saw Lu Linchu striding towards him with Yun Ling in his arms.

Seeing the child in Aunt Zhang's arms, Yun Ling hurriedly broke free from him, crawled to Lu Qingchen, and asked in a panic: "What happened to the young master? Didn't Aunt Ji rescue him? Is the young master okay?"

Then, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry: "It's all Aunt Ling's fault for not protecting you. That cruel Aunt Ji pushed you into the water."

She was crying happily when she suddenly heard a sharp scolding in her ears.

"Miss Yunling is really a hypocritical person. Do you really think that you can hide your evil deeds from the world without being noticed?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw people from Chuxian Palace rushing over in a hurry.

The person who spoke was Lu'er, who was brought back by Fu Guiyun.
