When I saw that her expression was not right, I became alert. I secretly gathered my strength and prepared myself while squinting my eyes to observe her movements.

The next moment, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed me, "I will never let a fickle woman like you ruin the general's reputation!"

I didn't expect that she was actually planning to kill me! I changed my moves and rolled sideways from the rattan chair to the ground to avoid Lin Yueniang's attack. She was really fierce, and the dagger blade was stuck in the gap of the rattan chair.

When she was trying hard to pull out the dagger again, I, who was lying on the ground, raised my foot and kicked her in the hip, knocking her to the ground.

While she was falling, I stood up and lifted the rattan chair and pressed it directly on her. The four legs and the hollow bottom were like a small cage to imprison her. I sat back on the rattan chair, put my feet on the edge of the chair, and put all my weight on it to ensure that she could not break free.

"Someone come quickly! Someone is killing someone!" I shouted at the top of my voice.

After a while, the maids who had been sent away heard the noise and came back. They were shocked when they saw the scene in the yard.

Fortunately, someone brave enough came forward to help me control Lin Yue Niang and helped me down from the chair.

When Siliang came over, Lin Yueniang wanted to complain first, "It's all because of this woman..."

Before she finished her words, Siliang said slowly with a pale face, "Yue Niang, why did you come to this yard? Why did Haoer go to the lake to play alone?"

"What did you say? Isn't Hao'er being taken care of by Nanny Qin?" Lin Yueniang realized something was wrong at this moment. She temporarily forgot about her grudge against me, broke free from the maid holding her, rushed to Siliang, grabbed his clothes and kept asking, "Where's Hao'er? Where's my Hao'er?"

"He was still by the lake and was just fished out. He was already dead..." Siliang answered woodenly, as if he was frightened and let Lin Yueniang pull him.

I was also frightened by this sudden change, and quickly signaled the maid next to me to accompany me to take a look.

When we arrived at the lake behind the house, there were several people gathered there with different expressions. A small body was lying quietly on the grass by the lake.

Lin Yue Niang just called out "Hao'er" and then she fainted completely. The people around her rushed over to take care of her in a panic.

"Is there a doctor in the mansion?" I asked the maid.

She shook her head. She had probably never encountered such a situation before. She looked terrified and didn't want to get close to the lake.

"Go get a doctor quickly. If you can't find one nearby, go to the city," I urged.

Si Liang seemed to come to his senses at this time and responded, "I'll go on horseback to invite you, hurry up!"

I nodded in agreement, then walked over to Hao'er and started to check him carefully.

Logically speaking, Lin Yue Niang had someone take Hao'er away, and then sent the people in my yard away in the name of looking for Hao'er, so that she would have the opportunity to assassinate me alone.

It was estimated that Hao'er had not been in the water for long. I felt his pulse and could not feel it. His breathing and heartbeat were almost gone. So I quickly checked his mouth and nose, took out some mud from his mouth with my fingers, and started CPR and artificial respiration.

The people around were dumbfounded. They wanted to stop me but were concerned about my status and didn't dare to say anything harsh. "Madam, what are you doing? The young master is already dead. Don't make trouble like this anymore..."

But I acted as if I didn't hear their voices and continued to perform first aid regardless.

I don't know how many times I repeated this, but the child suddenly burst into tears, then coughed violently and vomited some water. He was finally saved, and his breathing and heartbeat were restored. But he kept crying and shouting in pain. The person next to him wanted to come over and pick him up, but I stopped him with my hand.

"Don't move him, his ribs are broken. Let's wait until the doctor comes to check him out. First, bring clean clothes and warm blankets!" I ordered with a cold face.

The others had no choice but to do as they were told. At this moment, Lin Yue Niang, who was not far away, woke up slowly. Probably having heard the baby crying, she ran over to hug the child.

"Stop her, don't let her come over!" I protected the child and shouted loudly.

Someone immediately held down the crazy Lin Yue Niang. She glared at me with a ferocious face and started to curse me, but before she could say a few words, she was blocked by the maid who followed me.

After a while, Siliang came over with the doctor.

When I looked, I found that it was an acquaintance. How could it be such a coincidence?

The other person also saw me, but his expression was natural, as if he had never seen me before. He first looked at the child who was still lying on the ground and crying.

"He had drowned and was unconscious for a while. His breathing and heartbeat had stopped. I used too much force when I was rescuing him, and I might have broken his ribs. You can see subcutaneous bleeding spots." I squatted next to Doctor Sun and gave a brief introduction of what happened.

He nodded, examined Hao'er, then instructed people to prepare a stretcher and carefully carry the person back into the house.

"It's not a big problem. You just need to stay in bed for two months and take medicine on time, both internal and external. Children grow fast and you will recover well. Just be careful about what you eat while taking medicine. It's nothing serious, ma'am, don't worry." After the diagnosis, he saluted me and handed the written prescription to Siliang who was next to me.

"Thank you, sir! I'll go get the medicine right away. Oh, by the way, here's your consultation fee..." Siliang was so excited that he ran a few steps and turned back.

I asked casually, "Where did you invite this doctor from?"

"I ran into him not long after I left the house. I was so anxious that I almost bumped into him, causing his medicine basket to fall. But it was also because of this that it was worth it for him to know medical skills. In a hurry, I invited him back first."

"Okay, go get the medicine first." He took the four ounces of medicine away first, and the maid who was looking after Hao'er in the inner room fed him the pain-relieving candy pills and then coaxed Hao'er to sleep.

I followed Doctor Sun into the separate room. After confirming that there was no one else around, Doctor Sun saluted me again and said, "Congratulations, Princess, for your resurrection."

I smiled helplessly, "I thought we were friends. It's not good to be so sarcastic as soon as we meet!"

"The palace is in chaos because of the princess's matter. Does the princess really intend to escape and never come back?" He lowered his voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Then can you pretend you haven't seen me?" I didn't have any banknotes on hand, so I could only take off a pair of jade bracelets of good quality from my wrists. They were the jewelry that He Zhao had given me before and I fell in love with them at first sight. They must not be cheap.

Before I handed the jade bracelet over, Doctor Sun turned around, anticipated and avoided my movements, and said, "Princess, you say you consider me a friend, but do you really think so?"

I walked around to him and put the jade bracelet into his arms, "Of course, and I never let my friends suffer. You helped me realize my wish, I will always remember you!"

Doctor Sun lowered his eyes, swept his gaze from my face, and finally fell on the pair of jade bracelets in my arms. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, "If this is really what you wish..."
