The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

592 Reversal (1)

Coincidentally, there was no morning court assembly today, so the news of the emperor’s assassination only spread in the palace for the time being. In less than two hours, the entire palace was alarmed, and the imperial guards were everywhere.

Shen Yijia carefully avoided those people and tried her best to pick a path. Although she didn’t know where Song Jingchen was, she believed that he wouldn’t stay in a crowded place.

However, as the saying went, the more one was afraid of something, the more it would happen.

She walked out of a small path in a rockery and saw a few people surrounding a waterside pavilion not far away.

!!

She would never admit that it was because she didn’t know the way!

“Princess, wait a moment. I’ll call someone over now.”

“Then hurry up and go.”

This voice… Who else could it be but Princess Linghui?

Shen Yijia frowned. Indeed, as the saying went, when one was unlucky, they would have trouble even drinking water.

She felt that describing her current self was the most appropriate.

She had heard of many troublesome deeds of Princess Linghui and had seen them before, so she did not want to fight her. She silently turned around and prepared to return.

If it was in the past, she would naturally not be afraid of her. However, it was different today. Not to mention whether Princess Linghui would recognize her, there would be more trouble. She did not have the time to argue with her.

However, there were some things that she could not hide from just because she wanted to.

“Stop right there.”

A coquettish shout sounded. Shen Yijia pretended that she couldn’t hear it and continued walking.

Another arrogant voice came from behind. “You in pink, which palace are you from? Didn’t you hear the princess tell you to stop? You’re so unruly.”

Shen Yijia looked down at her dress. Previously, when she was pretending to be Xuanyuan Ce’s guard, her hair was all tied up. After taking off her guard uniform, she felt that it was a little strange and would easily attract attention, so she imitated the palace maids she saw and casually curled up her hair.

The other party was just short of naming her. Shen Yijia could only turn around and bury her head.

Princess Linghui glanced at her suspiciously. “Come here.”

Shen Yijia clenched her fists and walked over obediently.

If the other party wanted to die, she couldn’t stop her.

She did not raise her head. Princess Linghui looked at Shen Yijia’s slightly messy hair and thought that she was a palace maid who had just entered the palace and had yet to learn the rules.

Naturally, there was a special nanny to punish her for this mistake. She would not lower herself to care about such trivial matters. Princess Linghui turned her head away and instructed, “My handkerchief fell into the water. Go down and pick it up for me.”

Shen Yijia turned her head slightly. A pink handkerchief floated in the middle of the pool. She rolled her eyes. “Where’s the handkerchief? I didn’t see it.”

Princess Linghui had the preconceived notion that the person in front of her was a little maidservant who had never seen the world. She did not think that the other party dared to play with her at all. She frowned and pointed unhappily. “Over there!”

Shen Yijia turned around in the direction she was pointing. She looked around and continued to lie through her teeth. “Where is it? There’s no handkerchief.”

“Right there!” Princess Linghui was furious. She clattered to Shen Yijia and leaned against the railing, pointing at a handkerchief not far away. “Isn’t that a handkerchief? Are you blind?”

Accompanied by her last scream was the sound of someone falling into the water.

The palace maids following Princess Linghui were dumbfounded by this sudden change. When they came back to their senses and wanted to look at the culprit, there was no sign of that person.

“Help! Help!”

Princess Linghui’s cry for help sounded. Only then did the palace maids scream, “The princess has fallen into the water. Quick, save the princess!”

“I don’t know how to swim. Who’s going to save the princess?”

“I don’t know how to swim either.”

“Call someone. Hurry up and call someone over!”

The palace maids pushed each other. The reason why they casually stopped a passing little palace maid just now was because no one among them knew how to swim.

The palace maids on the waterside pavilion were in complete chaos. It was already October, and the weather was getting colder day by day. One could imagine how cold the lake water was.

In addition, Princess Linghui did not know how to swim, so she could only struggle in the water.

Fortunately, the young maidservant who had gone to look for someone to scoop up the handkerchief had returned with her. However, what she wanted to scoop up now was not a handkerchief, but Princess Linghui herself.

Princess Linghui drank a lot of water. When she was saved, her entire body was trembling. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “Go… Go… Capture… that… little b*tch. I… I want her to live a life worse than death…”

After saying this, Princess Linghui fainted.
