Chapter 2 - Let him go, Let me do it

“His Royal Highness has passed away!”

“His Royal Highness has passed away!”

The crowd shouted in grievance, they were in a mess, and were scattered all over the place.

At this moment, a few of the prominent Gu Residence guards made their way forward, pushing aside the crowd, “Make way, make way, Minister Gu is here.”

Immediately after, a slender middle aged man stumbled in hurriedly, his court dress is upright and luxurious.(*ty to sunnyflowers!)

Though the color of his face was as pale as white paper, when he had heard the Great Doctor’s words afterwards, he took a step further to kneel down on the ground with a— ‘putong,’ his body trembled non-stop.

Gu Qianxue furrowed her eyebrows, roughly understanding of what was happening here.

She had transmigrated into the Gu Residence’s Eldest Young Miss, however she has pushed His Highness Prince Li down into the waters, drowned herself (the old previous Miss Gu died), and also has now drowned Prince Li, Prince Li died, no one can be responsible.

-> (basically saying the current transmigrated Gu Qianxue is not responsible for the previous girl’s actions, hence no one is responsible because the wrongdoer is already dead)

“Wait!” Gu Qianxue shouted out loud.

Everyone did not expect that the Gu Residence’s Eldest Young Miss who got herself into trouble, could still dare to speak, they all looked curiously towards Gu Qianxue who is hanging in the air *, placed in a difficult situation.

*T/N reminder: she was previously tied up suspended in midair

“Let go of me, I can save him, he is not dead! Prince Li is definitely not dead!” If Gu Qianxue had not remembered wrong, when she was pulling Prince Li out of the water, his pulse was powerful and vigorous, it was strong and exceptional it was not even frantic*, only within a few seconds how can he die?”

*(T/N: his pulse did not race/was steady=meaning no signs of anxiety/problem)

“Shut up, you sinful girl. Do you not think the trouble you have caused is not big enough?” The one to scold her first isn’t anyone else, it was precisely benzun*’s father, Minister Gu.

(*benzun; a honorific calling of oneself)

Minister Gu’s pair of eyes were completely bloodshot, his expression is as if a normal bayonet is attacking towards Gu Qianxue.

In Minister Gu’s eyes, Gu Qianxue could not see a trace of her father’s love.

“I’m saying this again, I can save him, if he really does die, no one can bear the responsibility for this*. Let me down!” Gu Qianxue’s voice was not very loud, but it was exceptionally resolute/firm.

*(sunnyflowers T/N: meaning he’s not dead yet and if he died, it would be everyone’s fault)

“Sinful girl, you…”

Minister Gu’s words were not yet finished, but Eunuch Shao cut him off, “Let her down, quick!”

Now there is Eunuch Shao’s command, the guards hurriedly put Gu Qianxue down, in reality, Eunuch Shao was also not entirely sure of himself, it is only to save his own life, he decided to give it a go.

Gu Qianxue obtained her freedom, clenching her teeth she dragged her heavy body, and arrived next to Prince Li’s body.

The man’s fair skin is flawless, his eyebrows were neither too thick nor too thin, as if two swords slanting down to his hair on the temples. Although his eyes were closed, his pair of eyes were long and narrow, preserving his elegance and arrogance, his cheekbones were sharp as a knife as if he was the work of the gods.

Even after experiencing the modern era’s new explosion of information, Gu Qianxue could not help but sigh, this man’s appearance is truly breathtaking.

“What are you staring blankly for? If Prince Li, His Highness has a misfortune/sudden death, we will all have to be buried with him” Eunuch Shao’s announcer voice too trembled.

Gu Qianxue hastily sobered from being stunned, calmed down, and according to the fragments of her memory in her mind, she pulled off the layers upon layers of clothing off of Prince Li’s body till his chest was exposed.

The crowd inhaled.

“Sinful girl! What are you going to do?” Minister Gu’s voice was hoarse, nearly going crazy.

Eunuch Shao was also stunned by this.

Gu Qianxue did not pay attention to him and concentrated on rescuing. She pressed down on the heart, she’s going to do CPR, commonly known as artificial respiration.

Prince Li’s figure is very excellent, there is no obvious exaggerated/excessive muscle pack, but the muscle line is firm, solid and slender, his six-pack abs were faintly discernible, which gradually disappear to the edge of the clothing on his waist.

Gu Qianxue did not have time to appreciate the beautiful man half-diagram*, and started preparing to save him.

*(sunnyflowersT/N: his upper body)

She first laid the man flat and leveled him, placing her left hand on the man’s forehead and forcefully pressing it backward; her right hand on the edge of the jaw, lifting his head up in a forward direction.

Immediately after, without the slightest hesitation, she lowered her head down, covering over the male’s hooking soul lips*, the crowd blew up*, the idiot young lady actually dared to openly disrespect Prince Li!”

*sunnyflowersT/N: hooking soul lips = idiom for attractive to the point people loses their minds/ breathtaking; crowd blew up = went crazy

Gu Qianxue is still seriously conducting CPR.

After blowing air into his mouth twice, overlapped her two hands, she pressed the man’s chest three times in a row.

She blew two breaths and pressed his chest three times, with this she repeatedly continued.

Again and again, it is methodically arranged*.

(* sunnyflower T/N: yǒutiáobùwěn有条不紊 idiom = regular and thorough/meaning: methodically arranged)

Just when Gu Qianxue did it for the fifth time, the man suddenly opened his pair of eyes, black eyes as if a quiet and secluded abyss, a cold chill that can stab through people’s bone marrow.

The crowd was once again in a deathly still.
