Chapter 121 Fighting
Zhao Zheyong was struggling in the water and found that he could not reach the bottom. He tried his best to swim to the shore and had no time to save Liu Emei.
Suddenly, he felt his feet being grabbed and his whole body was pulled down.
The water covered Zhao Zheyong's face. Zhao Zheyong choked on the water twice and kicked his feet desperately.
The man underwater did not let go.
Zhao Zheyong had no choice but to take a deep breath and dive into the water.
He pulled Liu Emei into his arms and swam to the shore with her.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the shore pulled them both up.
When Zhao Zheyong discovered that it was Liu Emei in his arms, he immediately let go of her with disgust.
The women on the shore were whispering to each other with smiles in their eyes as they talked about this funny story of a hero saving a beauty.
"Take her away and let her change clothes." Zhao Zheyong ordered coldly. He stood up and shook off the water. Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, he raised his head and strode away.
The palace maids understood what she meant and did not send Liu Emei to the nearest empty room. Instead, they sent her directly to Zhao Zheyong's residence.
When Liu Emei woke up, she saw unfamiliar furnishings all around her and hurriedly called out "Xiao Tao".
Xiao Tao appeared at the door with tea in hand, "Girl, girl, you're awake!"
"Where is this?" Liu Emei looked around and was disgusted by the old furnishings in the room.
"This is the East Six Palaces." Xiao Tao put the tray aside, picked up the teacup and was about to hand it to Liu Emei.
The Crown Prince lives in the East Palace, and the eldest prince has set up a residence outside the palace. Now the only person living in the six east palaces is the third prince Zhao Zheyong.
Liu Emei immediately got off the bed, slapped the teacup in Xiaotao's hand and flew it away, and said angrily, "You lowly servant, don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Why did you send me to the East Six Palaces?"
Xiao Tao immediately knelt down and explained, "Miss, it was the Third Prince who rescued you... The palace servants followed his orders and sent you here."
"What?" Liu Emei was a little happy and a little disgusted at the same time. "He schemed against me? He schemed against me without any regard for anything and humiliated my reputation just to marry me?"
As a woman who had not been proposed to for many years, Liu Emei was still very happy to know that the third prince Zhao Zheyong liked her.
But... Liu Emei also knew that Zhao Zheyong was of humble origin, and with the eldest prince and the crown prince above him, he would not have much of a future.
Her feet landed on the ground, she pulled the cloak from the hanger and put it on her body, then stood up and was about to leave, "Get up! Don't embarrass yourself in the palace, I will punish you when we get home."
Xiaotao felt something was wrong.
Liu Emei had never been to the East Six Palaces. She walked around on the complicated roads of the East Six Palaces and got lost.
"How are we going to get out of here?" Liu Emei pulled the cloak from her body into a ball in her hands, then threw it to the ground in anger.
Jiang Wanwan was locked up in her own palace, with no servants to serve her, and no one to take care of her food and daily life. She had trouble distinguishing day and night, and her sleep was reversed. She had only just woken up slowly.
She woke up and called out, "Lan'er?"
Lan'er had long been assigned by Zhao Zheyong to take care of the little grandson Zhao Tongzhang, and no one responded to Jiang Wanwan at all.
Jiang Wanwan was a little angry, but she turned around and thought of her son. She looked at the bed beside her and asked in panic, "My son, where is my son?"
The servants in the East Six Palaces had long known that Jiang Wanwan would go crazy every day when she got up. They were used to it and no one cared to bother her.
She rolled off the bed and crawled on the ground with her hands and feet. She crawled to the door and knocked on the door frame from the inside. "Someone, open the door, I want to see my son... Someone, open the door..."
This door had always been locked, but the palace maid who delivered food today was in a hurry to go to the Imperial Garden to watch the fun, and she didn't notice that the lock in her hand was just hanging on the door knocker and was not locked at all.
Jiang Wanwan knelt by the door and knocked on it for a long time, and eventually managed to knock the lock open.
The copper lock fell to the ground. Jiang Wanwan pulled the door hard and it opened.
Jiang Wanwan suddenly smiled foolishly, looked left and right, and ran out aimlessly.
"Have you heard? The girl from the Liu family that His Highness rescued today will be His Highness' principal wife in the future." The little palace maids whispered to each other.
"That girl from the Liu family is really scheming. She fell into the water on purpose and asked Your Highness to rescue her. One can tell at a glance that she had been planning this for a long time." Another little palace maid curled her lips in disdain.
Hearing that Zhao Zheyong was going to marry another wife, Jiang Wanwan regained some of her sanity and rushed over to grab the two young palace maids, "What did you say? Who wants to be the wife?"
When the two young palace maids saw Jiang Wanwan, they immediately knelt down and saluted, secretly annoyed at why they didn't observe their surroundings before gossiping, "Greetings, Concubine."
Jiang Wanwan unconsciously applied a little more force, her nails digging into the flesh of their wrists, and repeated the question, "Who will Your Highness marry as your principal wife?"
The young palace maid knew that she was of low status and did not dare to resist Jiang Wanwan. She endured the pain and said with tears in her eyes, "It was... a girl from the Liu family wearing green clothes. She just fell into the water and is now recuperating in the East Six Palaces."
Jiang Wanwan followed the direction the little palace maid pointed and ran over without hesitation.
He happened to run into Liu Emei, who was lost in the East Six Palaces and was circling around looking for an exit.
Jiang Wanwan pounced forward, knocked Liu Emei to the ground, and pulled her hair fiercely.
How could Liu Emei endure such an unexpected disaster? She felt that a crazy woman who appeared out of nowhere had humiliated her. She immediately turned over, pulled her hair, and slapped her continuously.
The light powder on Jiang Wanwan's face was rubbed off, revealing the word "lustful" next to her cheek.
Liu Emei showed a mocking expression, "Where did this guilty slave come from to go crazy in the palace? Since when did an adulterer become worthy of being rampant in the palace?"
The noise of the two people fighting attracted a lot of people to watch.
Xiao Tao immediately pulled back her eyebrows and whispered in her ear, "Girl, there are so many people watching us. It would be bad if they spread rumors."
Only then did Liu Emei stop.
At this time, Jiang Wanwan, who had not eaten for the whole day, had no strength left. She lay on the ground, looking very dejected, like a small fish thrown on the shore, only knowing how to breathe laboriously.
Jiang Wanwan's face was red and swollen, and she looked like a fat pig with big ears after being beaten.
When the palace maids and eunuchs saw her, they couldn't help laughing.
Liu Emei and Xiaotao took advantage of this opportunity to ask a palace maid for directions, and then ran away.
"Was that the concubine who gave birth to the Third Prince's child? Was she the one who took advantage of her big belly to run to the Emperor and ask for marriage?" Only after escaping to a safe place did Liu Emei stop and start asking Xiaotao.
