The imperial study

has a huge long table and stacks of memorials. The celebration is coming, and there are more and more things for each department to play. He is so anxious to let suling recover the gold, which is also the urgent need of the Treasury for silver. Although there is no gold, dome mountain can also hold a grand celebration, but if you can recover the stolen bank, it would be better.

After reading the last Memorial in his hand, Yan Hongtian finally looks at Lou Xiyan, who is sitting on one side and enjoying tea leisurely. He is half busy. He has a leisurely mood, and his face turns black. Yan Hongtian hums coldly: "what are the preparations for the celebration?"

After putting down the tea, Lou Xiyan gave a faint smile. Ignoring Yan Hongtian's cold face, she said leisurely, "it's very smooth. The Ministry of household and the Ministry of work have already made preparations for the celebration. This year, it will be more grand than three years ago. However, when the time comes, envoys from all countries will gather, and merchants from all over the world will also make pilgrimages to Beijing. The population in the capital must be mixed. Ministers will discuss the deployment of troops with the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of arms as soon as possible, so as to ensure that there will be no trouble at that time. "

"Well, it's up to you! Prepare as soon as possible. " Lou Xiyan's affairs must be not enough, not chaotic enough. Looking at him in an orderly and unhurried manner, Yan Hongtian has no reason to be angry, although he has been like this for so many years!

"Yes." Lou Xiyan agreed, but he could deal with everything.

Yan Hongtian frowns gently. He is not so cheerful as usual. Is he really happy? Staring at Lou Xiyan, Yan Hongtian seriously asked: "do you really want to marry Qingling as your wife, and you are not ready to take a concubine?"

Lou Xi Yan Lang ran a smile, nodded back: "well."

"Is she worth it?" In fact, sometimes it's not the problem of women, but the problem of balancing interests. He doesn't even remember how many women in the harem look like, but what they represent behind them is a family, a force, and political marriage. It's important for a man's official career!

For a green spirit, Xiyan is really willing to make such a big sacrifice?!

Lou Xiyan understood his meaning, but just a faint smile, calmly said: "I think it's worth it."

During this period of time, he has been busy taming the little wild cat of Qingfeng. He seems to have missed a lot of good plays. Looking out of the window at the warm summer sun and the flowers, Yan Hongtian looks cunning and says with a smile: "today in the imperial garden, all the talents in the capital are here. Do you want to choose again?"

Lou Xiyan was still gentle and said, "thank you, Emperor. I don't need to be re elected."

Stepping down from the Dragon chair, Yan Hongtian went to the side of Lou Xiyan and asked again, "really not?"

Slightly bow to salute, Lou Xiyan said directly: "I'll send you to the emperor."

Yan Hongtian shook his head with a pity on his face. As he walked out of the door, he tut tut sighed: "well, I heard that ling'er is here too. I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her strangely."

Behind Lou Xiyan, he is so busy these days that he doesn't know what she is doing. Is she really here? If it's true... Thinking of the strange color in Yan Hongtian's eyes just now, Lou Xiyan gave a low sigh, followed Yan Hongtian and said, "I'd better go with the emperor."

Looking back, it's hard to follow his Lou Xiyan. Yan Hongtian is in a good mood and laughs, or it's not bad to let Qingling marry Xiyan. He has a chip to tease Xiyan. Who makes Xiyan seem to be able to deal with everything, and he can't be perfect!

"Ah -"

louxi dance, sitting in front of the wooden platform, hears the sound of the collapse of the wooden platform and screams subconsciously. When she looks up, she just sees the scene of Qingling falling into the lotus pool.

"Qingling!" After running a few steps forward, Lou Xiwu couldn't swim and didn't dare to walk on the crooked wooden platform. He could only stare anxiously at the water with thick lotus leaves and yelled: "help! Qingling, she fell into the lotus pool

A group of women in the garden heard the sound of collapse just now. When they looked at it, they saw Lou Xiwu standing in front of the wooden platform, stretching her neck and staring at the lake, shouting anxiously.

Listen to her shouting words, green maple flustered look to the nearby wooden platform, where there are green spirit shadow.

"Sister!" Heart suddenly mentioned the throat, green maple pulled up the skirt to run toward the lake. Suddenly, her arms were tightly pulled. Several maids standing beside the Empress Dowager hugged her. They just didn't let her walk. They were nervous and concerned and said: "you are the body of gold, you should be careful, but you can't go!"

"Let go!" Qingfeng desperately struggle, regardless of the arm tearing pain, flustered and worried, let has always been proud of her tears wet eyes, already no lady's manner, crazy struggle cry: "get out of my way! My sister can't swim. Let go! Let go

In Yang Zhilan's eyes, there is a sneer that can't be heard. It's best not to swim, even if you can! Pretending to be angry, Yang Zhilan pointed to the eunuchs beside him and said, "what are you doing in a daze? Save people quickly!"

"Yes." The four eunuchs ran to the lake and immediately jumped into the pool.Lou Suxin frowned slightly. What would a good wooden platform collapse?! Seeing that someone had gone down to save people, she didn't say anything. She just sat on the throne and looked at the flower pool in front of her.

In fact, Zhuo Qing didn't have the panic and danger they imagined after she fell into the water, because she could swim, and she was a member of the school swimming team when she was studying, so she was a little flustered at the moment when the wooden platform collapsed, and everything was OK.

The most serious collapse of the wooden platform was the place under her feet. After she fell down, she was washed to the bottom of the wooden platform by the current. Her heavy skirt became even heavier after she was soaked. The wood on her head kept pressing on her. She was dissatisfied with the messy lotus leaves. It was very difficult for Zhuo Qing to swing her arms.

She can hear Lou Xi dance shouting to find someone to save her. She also wants to respond that she is actually very good. However, the situation around her is so bad that a piece of saliva will be poured into her mouth. Zhuo Qing can only find a way out first.

Water skiing with her feet to keep balance, Zhuo Qing quickly unties her belt and takes off her outermost skirt. Suddenly, she feels a lot more relaxed. Groping all the way to move forward, suddenly her foot didn't know what to kick and stabbed her hard. She bared her teeth in pain, pulled out the lotus leaf and squinted. It was vaguely visible that it was the pile that was hitting the underwater support platform.

Zhuo Qing thought for a while, took a deep breath and dived. Underwater vision is very poor, she can only barely see the stake about the mouth of the bowl so thick, the rest can only rely on touch. One side of the fracture is relatively flat, and the other side is the normal thorn produced by wood fracture.

Hold for too long, Zhuo Qing surfaced, big mouth breathing, after the breath is stable, her expression is no longer as relaxed as just now. It's not surprising that this kind of wood pile will collapse when it's soaked in water all the year round. But just now, she touched the crack. In terms of touch, it's definitely not rotten and soft wood. How can it be said that it will collapse when it collapses? Or is this not an accident, but an artificial arrangement?!

Zhuo Qing also wants to continue to check the other stake, but he hears a few sounds falling into the water not far away. He pulls out the lotus leaf and looks out. It's several eunuchs dressed up in the water.

Zhuo Qing thought about it, but decided to give up for a while. Her skirt and hair often wound around her feet. This dress is not suitable for diving. Go ashore first, or louxiwu and Qingfeng will worry about her.

Push aside the lotus leaf, Zhuo Qing slowly swam outside, finally out of the bottom of the wooden platform, several eunuchs also saw her.

Two of them swam to her at once. Seeing that their swimming speed was quite fast, the water quality of these people should not be bad. Zhuo Qinggang wanted to say that she could swim and could go forward by herself. The two men had already swam to her side, and one of them put up her arm, but they didn't want to save her ashore, but they - pressed her head and pushed her into the water.

Sudden changes, let Zhuo Qing unexpected, hair was dead pulling, cool lake water over her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, hard choked a saliva, Zhuo Qing brain is also very clear at the moment. Today's all is a conspiracy, let her performance is a conspiracy, the collapse of wooden platform is a conspiracy, these people who save her in name are the killers sent by the behind the scenes. It is self-evident who is behind the scenes.

Damn it!

She doesn't want to die here!

Zhuo Qing tries to step up, but the two men have excellent water quality and great strength. The hands holding her shoulder and head are like two iron tongs, which don't give her a chance to come out of the water.

No way! If she goes on like this, she will drown. Zhuo Qing grits her teeth and simply stops pedaling. She raises her feet and kicks them left and right. No matter what part she kicks, she raises her hand over her head and grabs them where she thinks they are.

The two people who hold Zhuo Qing didn't expect that she would resist. They were stabbed in the eyes and nose by her nails several times, and their waist was also kicked to pain. They had to free up a hand and hold Zhuo Qing's waving hand. Therefore, they reduced their strength according to Zhuo Qing's strength. Zhuo Qing stepped on their waist, forced up to the top, and finally broke out of the water, breathing in.

She did not slow down, two people again wrapped up, Zhuo Qing want to speak for help, two people's hands again to her arm. As a last resort, Zhuo Qing had to dive into the water immediately. At this time, she could vaguely hear the anxious voice of Lou Xiwu. From the shore, she said, "have you found someone?"

The dense lotus leaf is a natural barrier. Through the broken wooden platform, people on the shore can't see what happened in the clear water. Lotus leaves make Zhuo Qing difficult to move underwater. In order to avoid being caught by two people again, she can only drill underwater. Not far away from her, the eunuch in charge of the cover yells back to the bank: "there are too many lotus leaves underwater, and no one can be found at all!"

The two eunuchs keep up with her. They obviously see that Zhuo Qing can swim, and they are more cautious and fierce.

They hold her down again. Zhuo Qing struggles with all her strength. Several times she opens her mouth to call for help, she is pressed into the water. Her physical strength is not enough. No one finds that she can only die in the lotus pool today!

The suffocation and choking of drowning made her heart and lungs feel as if they were going to burst. Gradually, she felt that her body was getting more and more tired and weaker ·

Yan Hongtian was in a good mood. Lou Xiyan also recovered her usual calm and leisurely, and they walked all the way towards the royal garden. From a distance, the Royal Garden, which should have been singing and dancing, is now in a circle. He only sees a group of people around the lotus pond, and he doesn't know what they are doing. Yan Hongtian says to Gao Jin: "go and have a look. Why is there such a mess over there?""Yes." Gao Jin takes orders and runs to the lotus pond.

Yan Hongtian and Lou Xiyan took a look at each other. Although they didn't speak, their feet were much faster.

Entering the imperial garden, Gao Jin, who went to inquire, came back. Yan Hongtian asked, "what's the matter?"
