The guards split up and searched, but only found Gu Wan. Gu Heng pulled Gu Wan, whose legs were cramping up, and said sternly: "It's not like you don't know water, why did you blindly support him! "Where's the beauty?"

Second brother, help Jingwan! I … I can't find her anymore! Wuu, she can't let anything happen to me!

Gu Heng took off his clothes and threw it at Gu Wan, then followed suit.

Furthermore, Xie Jingxi was not feeling very well right now. She had already expended all her energy to save Fang Wanqing, and now that she was washed by the warm and cold water, her entire body was cramping up, she did not struggle, but endured the pain as the water washed her away. When the water became calm again, she floated up to the surface, and looked around without knowing when it would come.

She could not help but sigh in her heart, thinking that besides waiting for people to come rescue her, she could only kill herself this time. She did not know if anyone would come looking for her, but she did not know that in that water area just now, normal boats would not be able to cross, much less humans.

When people were in a predicament, they couldn't help but feel a little lonely. She thought about how in her two lifetimes, there was no one she could truly rely on, and she could not help but feel desolate. But this thought only lasted for a moment, and then she once again dove into the water, swimming up the mountain.

After swimming for who knows how long, Xie Jingxi lost all energy in her body. She fell flat on the surface of the water and let the water carry her away. When Gu Yun saw her, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that his girl should not be so weak, but seeing that although she was immersed in the water, her legs kept on moving, and after a while, she finally heaved a sigh of relief, and quietly went into the water, quietly approaching her.

Xie Jingxi was supported by the water for a while, she had gathered some energy and was about to swim back to the shore, but she suddenly felt the water around her body fluctuating, and before she could react, she was surrounded by a pair of big hands. Just as Xie Jingxi was about to struggle, he heard a voice sound beside her ear: "Don't move, let's go ashore first."

Xie Jingxi could clearly hear the person's voice, it was actually Gu Yun! Xie Jingxi was extremely suspicious, thinking why would he come to save her. The key thing was, wasn't he sick, to actually know how to drink water?

As if he knew what she was thinking in her heart, Gu Yun said half-jokingly, "You don't have to be surprised, if I were to just give up, I won't blame you."

Xie Jingxi, "..."

"Do you still have the strength?" Gu Yun asked again.

After hearing what she said just now, Xie Jingxi did not dare to let him carry her, "I'm fine by myself." The meaning behind her words was that she should just take care of herself.

Gu Yun did not force him, but even though he let go, he still stood to the side to protect them. With an old, weak and handicapped person like Gu Yun by his side, Xie Jingxi felt that he had expended more energy than he could chew, and in just one breath, he swam to the shore, and did not make Gu Yun expend any more energy.

When she reached the shore, Xie Jingxi was already paralyzed on the ground. She didn't have any strength left at all, but Gu Yun coughed fiercely, as Xie Jingxi realized that the hand he was holding on to earlier was ice-cold without a trace of warmth.

Xie Jingxi abruptly sat up, "Young Master Gu, how are you?"

Gu Yun coughed and waved his hands, "Don't worry, you're in water, don't lie down. You'll catch cold."

How could Xie Jingxi still be interested in lying down? Just as she was about to get up and find some firewood, Gu Yun stopped her, "When I came over earlier, I conveniently picked up some clean clothes that I left behind. Put them on first."

As expected, Gu Yun very quickly found a place to start the fire, Xie Jingxi thought that this person was very meticulous, "Did you know that I would swim here from the beginning?"

"That's not difficult. When the water flows to the four surrounding mountains, it's naturally not as fast. It's very easy to find this place if I search along the mountain. But, it's not easy to find those people who have come with the water."

Xie Jingxi thought about it carefully, she knew that what he said was true, but even if she knew, she did not think that anyone would think of this.

"The people sent by the King Jin probably won't be here for long. When we go back along the mountain path, we'll probably meet them."

Gu Yun was right, indeed, not long after they left, the King Jin people came looking for him. When they returned to the Villa in King Jin, Gu Wan was the first to rush over, "Jingwan, you scared me to death, are you alright!"

Prince Jin's Wife finally heaved a sigh of relief, "Hurry up and bring the ginger soup over. As for Imperial Physician, didn't you see how Young Master Gu fell into the water?!"

The servants were working busily, causing Xie Jingxi to remember sick Yangzi, who was just about to go and see how he was doing, when he heard someone say that he had fainted. King Jin directly brought him to the guest room, and all the Imperial Physician s surrounded him, not daring to slight him.

Gu Heng and the rest were forced back by the water flow and did not continue searching. When they saw that Xie Jingxi had returned safely, they could not help but step forward, "Is Third Miss alright?"

Xie Jingxi did not look at his overly caring eyes, "I'm fine, it's just that Young Master Gu fell into my hands, I'll still take a look and thank you for me."

Gu Heng clenched his fist and did not make a sound. Fang Wanqing who had already changed her clothes walked over and said to Xie Jingxi: "Thank you Miss for risking her life to save me, I, Qing Er, am beyond thankful. It's me who is dragging you down, if I had not begged you not to let go, you would not have …"

When Xie Jingxi looked up, she actually forgot about the culprit. Her meaning was that she was actually forced to save him, as if if if she didn't shout, she, Xie Jingxi, would just watch without doing anything.

"You can't catch it yourself, why are you blaming it on the scene!" Gu Wan was so anxious that she couldn't help it at first and almost scolded Fang Wanqing by the nose, "The moment you fell into the water, Jingwan would be the first to catch you. Do you think that everyone's eyes are blind? It seems like she risked her life to save you. You were the one who asked for it.

Fang Wanqing looked at Gu Heng, and started crying even harder, "You're blaming me …"

Xie Jingxi quickly pulled Gu Wan who wanted to go up and beat him up, "Wan'er, forget it, everyone will see what you look like, why say so much." Xie Jingxi then said to Fang Wanqing, "If Miss Fang has no intention to save herself, I'll definitely say it earlier next time, there's no need to implicate others."

Prince Jin's Wife said: "Hurry and help Jingwan go to my room and take out one of my clothes for her to change into."

When Xie Jingxi heard that the Lady Xu had fainted just now, he had already sent it back to the Xie Palace. Without saying anything, she changed her clothes and was brought back to the Xie Palace by the Xie Palace.

When the matter of Lady Xu fainting was spread to the Cabinet, Xie Cen went back to his house early and when he heard that Third Miss had fallen into the water, he immediately sent someone to fetch him. He waited for Lady Xu to wake up before asking him about the events of the day.

Lady Xu's face turned pale white, she said to Xie Cen: "Master, quickly go and see how Third Sister is, this child …"

"Alright, I've already sent someone over. King Jin has already sent a message, saying that Third Sister has already found him, how did he fall into the water so easily?"

Lady Xu then explained everything that happened at the banquet to Xie Cen, "Master, I saw that Prince Jin's Wife seemed to favor Third Sister a lot, but I don't know what you mean."

"Oh? King Jin has never paid attention to the matter of Imperial Court, so it is rather strange that Prince Jin's Wife has not interacted much with our family. "

Lady Xu hesitated for a moment before saying: "I think that Prince Jin's Wife's intentions are to help Third Sister propose marriage. I'm afraid that today's feast is not simple either, with so many ladies present, it would be impossible to say that she did not have any intentions."

Xie Cen muttered to himself for a moment, "In Master Qi's residence, there is indeed a young master, it would be acceptable for Prince Jin's Wife to help him, but age doesn't seem to match up to Third Sister, if Prince Jin's Wife looks favorably upon us, Third Sister, then that would naturally be good. With her as the mediator, there will be some things that are different."

"There is one more thing that I have not discussed with old master, and that is Second Miss. I had originally planned to marry Third Sister to him if Second Miss was unable to stand up.

Xie Cen heard and frowned, "Then how can we do it, Third Sister is not going to marry anyone else as a concubine. No matter how good our Marquis Mansion is, our table manners are just too ugly, this is not appropriate!"

Lady Xu did not dare to bring it up again, so shshelet it go. After Xie Jingxi returned to her residence, she first went to visit the Lady Xu, then went back to her own room. Ming Yu had heard from him earlier, so he had already built a fire and prepared the medicine, waiting for Xie Jingxi to come back and use it.

"Miss, how did you fall into the water after making a nice trip out? I've prepared some medicine, you should go soak in it to dispel the cold. Look at your cold hands."

Speaking of hand cool, Xie Jingxi suddenly remembered that sshe was sickly. Even if he fainted, he did not know if she had woken up, but looking at his appearance, if there really was something good going on, then she would have committed a grave sin.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me for now, go and take out the bottle of medicinal wine that I saved and deliver it to the house of the Gu family's eldest young master. There is a way to use it inside, to save me, I'm afraid that the Young Master Gu is not too well, and we should ask around."

"Lord Young Master Gu?" Ming Yu was extremely shocked, "He can also save you?"

"What rubbish are you talking about, it's the Young Master Gu Lord, hurry up and go!"

Ming Yu stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly carried the bottle of medicine away, and when she came back, Xie Jingxi had already bathed and dressed herself, "How is it, is Young Master Gu awake yet?"

Ming Yu ran while gasping for breath, "Gu, Young Master Gu Lord has woken up, but Second Young Miss's big brother is in trouble, I heard that the manor is already in a hurry, as though it was getting hot, Imperial Physician has already went over a few times, I wonder if we can save him …"

Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. How could something happen to her brother at this critical juncture? Xie Jingxi had a bad premonition, it was extremely possible that Lady Xu would mention this matter again and marry her to Gu Heng.

Indeed, early on the morning of the second day, Marquis Mansion sent people over to report on his death, but it was this big brother who died young.
