Countless willow branches hang on the water surface, swaying gently with the breeze, from light to thick green, like fog and smoke, evaporating on the rippling blue waves.

In the shade of the willows that could not be penetrated, a blue figure of the lake climbed up to the shore in just a few seconds.

She turned around and looked at the green river surface, rubbed her wet hands against the same wet skirt. Suddenly, she saw a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes hidden among the shadows of the trees but as bright as the morning stars.

Her toes touched the hard object and looked down at it. It was a stone the size of a palm.

The person hiding in the shadow of the tree suddenly spoke: "You killed someone, I saw you killed someone."

Without saying a word, she picked up the stone and patted the man on the head.

The man fell to the ground without saying a word, covered in coarse cloth and brown, and was a half-year-old boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

She bent down to explore her breath and was just dizzy.

"Hey, she looks so pretty." She murmured in a low voice.

There was a shout from afar. She didn't dare to stop anymore. She lifted her skirt and ran...

Ganshi Bridge is not a bridge, but a place. It is located in the southeast of the capital, facing the Yudai River in front and backed by Xiaogan Mountain, and has scenery all year round. After a stick of incense, you will find the two leading academies in the capital, as well as Lixiangju and Xibi Lane where literati and poets gather. It seems to be in a corner, but it is elegant everywhere.

Many of the most numerous families in the capital have built villas in this area. Princess Zhaoyang’s villa has a very straightforward name - Zhaoyang Xiaozhu. The location is not the best, but it is not bad.

In late spring, the sky is transparent and blue, like a flawless sapphire.

The gate of Xiaozhu in Zhaoyang was open, and more than a dozen guards hurriedly ran out. Unexpectedly, they were stunned as soon as they stepped out of the threshold. They saw the little girl running towards them.

The little girl was twelve or thirteen years old, and her facial features were very good, but she had not yet grown. Just like the few sticks on her hair, she was covered in green everywhere. There was one missing red coral earrings, and there was no embroidered shoes on her feet. A pair of white silk socks were covered with mud. The blue dress on her body was still neat, but it was watery, and there was a large area of ​​moss on her skirt.

"girl?"

Shi Yi, the leader, was surprised and happy, and tears were about to flow out. It was great. The girl was not dead. His two younger brothers were still catching people in the Yudai River. If the girl had a few mistakes, Shi Bing and Shi Ding would change their surnames. If they did not have a surname, Shi, but changed their surnames to the corpse, and the corpse of the body.

Maybe he ran anxiously, and the little girl gasped: "Don't block the door, let me go in first."

A group of people quickly made a way out. The little girl stepped into the threshold, but turned her head and glanced at everyone's face one by one, and finally stopped on Shi Yi's face. She said, "You all saw it. I was in the other yard and didn't go anywhere."

Before Shi Yi and everyone could react, the little girl had already run in.

Shi Yi quickly pulled a servant and ordered: "Go and tell the third and fourth brothers, and you said you don't need to look for it anymore. The girl is in the other courtyard and hasn't gone anywhere. She is safe and safe..."

This little girl is Hua Jingyao, the only beloved daughter of Princess Zhaoyang.

The four brothers of the Shi family have been in the Princess's Mansion since childhood. They almost watched Hua Jingyao grow up, but Shi Yi didn't know why, and felt that today's girl seemed different from the past.

Hua Jingyao is very noble and has a good manner, and her demeanor is even more impeccable. She has never seen her appearance since Hua Jingyao was five years old.

After entering the yard, Hua Jingyao's pace slowed down. She looked around and couldn't remember how to walk to the backyard for a moment.

Someone had already rushed in to report the news. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight maids and women trotted out to greet them.

"Oh, my good girl, you're back, scaring me to death."

...

After a bowl of hot ginger soup, Hua Jingyao's three souls and seven spirits finally came back. Two mothers carried the bathtub in. Two more maids sprinkled petals and put soap beans in, and they were ready to serve Hua Jingyao in.

Hua Jingyao waved to them: "You go outside, I'll wash myself."

The two maids looked surprised, but they still covered their door and walked out.

Hua Jingyao sat in the bathtub, sat for a while, reached out to grab the rake mirror placed next to her, and a tender face reflected in the mirror.

Sister's face.

Hua Jingyao put down the rake mirror and slowly closed her eyes.

...

"Snap it up!"

"Come here!"

The person who fell into the water was particularly heavy. The two men followed him to use their strength to lift a wet person to the shore.

In the distance, the servant from Xiaozhu of Zhaoyang rushed over and found Shi Bing and Shi Ding.

"Two Masters Shi, Master Yi asked me to say, the girl is in the other yard, she is not injured or scared, she is safe and safe!"

Shi Bing and Shi Ding breathed a long sigh of relief. Shi Ding pulled his neck and looked forward. One of his followers was still screaming, while the other lay down, mouth-to-mouthing was venting.

"Third brother, they seem to be shouting at us. Let's go over and take a look. After all, that's the prince."

Yes, who would have thought that the second prince would only bring two people with him when he went out? Look, there would be insufficient staff. If the second prince died, there would not be even a person who could go back to the royal palace to report the news.

Confirm that his girl was fine, Shi Bing and Shi Ding let go half of their hearts. They walked over and saw the second prince Zhao Qian lying on the ground, his eyes closed and his face pale.

"The Second Highness fell into the water to save Miss Hua." One of them cried and said.

Shi Bing's eyes twitched and said with a stern face: "It's not our girl's business. Our girl hasn't fallen into the water again. Now we are enjoying the flowers and swinging in the other courtyard."

"What?" The follower looked stunned.

Did he hear it wrong? Surely not.

Did he read it wrong? It was impossible. They and the second prince were hiding on the other side of the shore. Three people had six eyes. When they saw Miss Hua fall into the river, the second prince jumped down to save the person regardless of his own life.

Miss Hua is wearing blue lake clothes today, and the person who fell into the water is also wearing blue lake clothes.

It's impossible to read it wrong?

"Why do you talk lies with your eyes open? It is obvious that Miss Hua is the first to fall into the water, and the second prince saves people later." The follower retorted.

Shi Bing was very unhappy. Is your second prince's mansion trying to rely on our eldest princess mansion? Although he is a rough man, he also knows that the woman was rescued by a man after falling into the water. Once it is decided, it is not a good thing.

Besides, the girl has returned to the villa. Where are the people you saved? Who saw you saved?

Shi Bing was about to retort, but he heard a scream of "Ah". Zhao Qian, who was originally lying on the ground like a dead pig, actually sat up.

The scream was made by Zhao Qian.

Shi Bing looked at Shi Ding, who was bent over and had no time to withdraw his arm, and asked, "What did you do to him?"

Shi Ding looked proud: "Look, I took the Second Highness alive, I saved the Second Highness!"

The second prince Zhao Qian did come alive. After spitting out a pool of water, two small fish and a few shrimps, he came alive.

Zhao Qian looked around and saw only his two followers and the guards of the eldest princess's mansion.

"Where is my cousin?" Zhao Qian asked weakly. He was in pain and he had to lie down again.

Shi Bing grinned and Xiao Si slapped his palm... He just lived, but he didn't know whether his ribs were broken.

Their old Shi family was born with divine power, but in their generation, they were only passed on to the little four Shi Ding. When Shi Ding was ten years old, he killed a cow with one punch, worried about causing trouble. Only their family knew about Shi Ding's natural divine power.

"Our girl is still in the other courtyard now. Your Highness Lao Er is worried. You guys will go back now and when you see the girl, you will definitely tell her your greetings." Shi Bing gave his salute and was about to say goodbye.

"Wait, you said... you said your girl is... in the other yard?" Zhao Qian inhaled while talking, and his body became more and more painful, so painful that he was almost speechless.

"If you go back to the Second Prince, the eldest princess will be ordered by the Empress Dowager Yi to perform rituals for the Prince of Yongguo and the Prince's wife in Guangji Temple. The girl came to the other courtyard and never even left the gate." Shi Bing's voice was even more respectful. He did not lie. The girl really had never left the gate. She came out of the back gate.

It's impossible, how is it possible?

Zhao Qian was trying to sit up, but this time, he didn't even have the strength to lift his neck. His head was dizzy and his temples were sore.

When he jumped into the river, Hua Jingyao's head floated and sank on the water surface, and was about to drown. He swam over and had not yet grasped her arm. She suddenly sank. Before he could react, his hands suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the water, stalking his neck tightly...

Could it be that everything is an illusion? Hua Jingyao did not fall into the water, was he who met a water ghost?
