Chapter 2 Drowning
The garden is located by a wide pool, in front of which there are numerous rockery hills and slightly bare willows are planted.

Under the rendering of the night, the rockery is criss-crossed, like ghosts.On the slightly bare willows, a few thick branches flutter in the wind, like female ghosts.

The black figures in front flashed into the rockery, and Cheng Muqing also stopped in his tracks.Panting heavily, she leaned against the rockery and glanced sideways.

Behind the rockery, by the pool, are four young teenagers.

Two of them were strong, standing with their backs to her, holding a riding whip as thick as a wrist in their hands.The other two were pushed to the ground.

"You are a new little handyman, I advise you not to meddle in your own business!"

"But...you guys did go too far today...what if something happens to the prince?

What did they do to the prince?Cheng Muqing frowned slightly.Looking again, she suddenly opened her almond eyes wide.

One of the men kneeling on the ground is not King Qi, her husband in name—Lin Heng!
Cheng Muqing subconsciously wanted to save someone, but he still held his breath.She wanted to see what they were going to do at this late hour.

"Ha~ What did I do?" The standing boy said arrogantly, "I didn't do anything."

"You obviously hit the prince!"

"That's not what you worry about." The young man said in a stubborn tone, "Oh~ it's useless for you to worry? Who cares about him? The princess? What else can the princess do besides pretending? Have you ever seen the princess talking to him? Or have you seen the princess? To eat with him? This fool shuts himself in a small room every day, and no one cares about him. No one can find out what I do."

"cocoa……"

"But what's the matter? Ah~ the empress is really kind to him, giving him all kinds of good clothes and delicious food. But so what? She doesn't come to see her son. And because of his withdrawn personality, she directly let him go out of the palace, Stand on your own."

"..."

"This idiot has been raised and abandoned in Qiguo. No matter what we do to him, he doesn't hold any grudges. Poor princess, who was a childhood sweetheart with the prince, but in the end was given a marriage to this coward. I guess, the princess must hate Cheng Houye very much. Rescue this idiot. I hate this idiot in my heart, I hope he dies soon..."

I don't!Cheng Muqing retorted in his heart.

Moreover, she was the one who rescued Lin Heng.

She silently added a sentence in her heart.

"Snapped--"

It was the sound of a whip being whipped.

"Look, I beat him like this, and he didn't hide for a moment. Hmph~ No one cares about him. As a son of man, the queen doesn't care. As a husband, the princess hates..."

Cheng Muqing subconsciously held his arm, as if she was the one who was beaten.

Then, there was another "pop".

"Stop!" Cheng Muqing couldn't bear it any longer, with a cold light in her eyes, she slapped the rockery with her palm.

The rockery shook and made a "buzzing" sound, and the white snow floating on it fell one after another.

The two teenagers who had just hit someone felt guilty, and their bodies froze.

One of them reacted very quickly, lifted Lin Heng into the water, and shouted to his companions, "Kick them into the water!"

The other hastily followed suit.

"thump--"

"thump--"

There were two splashes of water in the calm pond.

After completing this series of actions, the two murderers immediately got into the alley and ran away.

Cheng Muqing was taken aback, and subconsciously chased after the two of them.But reason brought her back to reality.

Lin Heng fell into the water...

The cold wind howled, blowing people's heart.The moonlight shone on the surface of the pool, reflecting bright and dazzling light.

"哗啦——" is the sound of people struggling in the water.

The water surface vibrated, and circle after circle of ripples bloomed from the inside to the outside.

"Lin Heng!" Cheng Muqing ran to the edge of the pool, threw down the long sword, and jumped into the water.

The slightly icy pool water penetrated through every hole, soaking her clothes.The cold pool water stimulated her to tremble all over, her heart beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Cheng Muqing opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and swam towards the boy underwater.

The young man leaned back, his long black hair fluttering around, like black tentacles pulling him down into the abyss.He flicked his hands in the water, his face was painful, and he spit out large groups of air bubbles from his mouth.

Almost, almost!
Cheng Muqing tried his best to go downstream, stretched his arms, and took the boy's hand.

With all her strength, she lifted him up and held him in her arms.But at this moment, she suddenly felt a little suffocated, her throat was very uncomfortable, and she had tinnitus.

This feeling...was about to drown?
Thinking that she learned how to swim when she was ten years old, why did she still drown in this critical moment?Cheng Muqing lowered his head, brushed Lin Heng's face with his hands, and leaned over to kiss it.

"puff--"

A ball of blisters floated out from between the mouths of the two.

Breathing in water will not work!The storybook is harmful!Cheng Muqing was cursing in his heart, and the feeling of suffocation from drowning became more and more obvious.She held Lin Heng in her arms, and the desire to survive prompted her to continue upstream.

At this moment, a black shadow swam towards her, pulling her and Lin Heng steadily towards the surface of the water.

There were circles of ripples on the surface of the water, and three small heads appeared after a while.

"what……"

"what……"

The three of them breathed in the fresh air, white water mist gushed out of their mouths in large groups.Cheng Muqing shook his head vigorously, only feeling that he just took a trip to the underworld.

"My lord, princess, are you okay?"

It was only then that Cheng Muqing noticed that the black shadow who had saved her and Lin Heng just now was a rather young looking boy.There was an inconspicuous scar on the boy's forehead, which was quite uneven under the moonlight.

"It's okay..." Cheng Muqing replied.

The wind is harsh and the sky is freezing cold, and being soaked in this icy water again will make it uncomfortable for everyone.

"Ah Choo! Ah Choo!" Cheng Muqing snorted several times.She rubbed her nose and pulled Lin Heng to swim ashore.

During the whole process, Lin Heng was like a puppet.

Several people dragged their bodies in the water and climbed ashore in a panic.

"Ha... ha... are you okay?" Cheng Muqing looked back at Lin Heng, panting heavily.

The other party ignored her, but withdrew his hand and buried it in his sleeve.

Cheng Muqing curled her lips, she knew that he was withdrawn and didn't get close to anyone.But how can I say it, if I saved him, wouldn't I get some special treatment?

Cheng Muqing glanced at the same wet boy, "What's your name?"

"Little Ah Feng."

"Huh... what are the names of those two slaves? Huh..."

Ah Feng shook his head.

do not know?Cheng Muqing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Take the prince back to Jingyuan and call the doctor Wang."

"Yes." Ah Feng nodded repeatedly, trying to help Lin Heng up, but the other party did not move, "My lord?"

Cheng Muqing raised his eyes, just in time to meet Lin Heng's eyes.

Through the moonlight, Cheng Muqing saw that he had a pair of beautiful but not sharp phoenix eyes.It's just that he has high cheekbones and a shriveled face, which makes him look very unhealthy.

"Are you frozen stupid?" Cheng Muqing smiled, she stood up leaning on her long sword, "Go back to the house and stay!"

"Why save me?" Lin Heng slowly clenched his hands, his eyes were scarlet.

"Is there a reason for this?" Cheng Muqing was puzzled, she tilted her head, "I can't just watch a life disappear in front of me, can I?"

Lin Heng said with a sullen face, "You don't have to worry about me. After I die, you just..."

"How can that be done?!" Cheng Muqing exclaimed, "You are my husband now, and I don't care about you. Do I let you be bullied all the time? After death... how can you die when you are so young!"

It may be because of that "dream", her mind is full now, Lin Heng died, she will die with her.

Lin Heng's body froze, and the fingers hidden in the sleeves moved slightly, pinching the sleeves and rubbing them constantly.

"My lord, I will avenge you right now." Cheng Muqing leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, "The palace has food and drink, don't think about those messy things, live well." Cheng Muqing rubbed his frozen body hand, looked at A Feng, "Take the prince back to the hospital."

The night wind howled, blowing the branches of the trees.

Cheng Muqing called the Cui guards in the courtyard and ordered them to gather all the servants in the courtyard together.

After explaining this matter, Cheng Muqing rushed to Jingyuan where Lin Heng lived.

 Body: ran away?Catch it!Catch it!

  Brain: Overboard!help!help!

  Cheng Muqing: I want to learn, shadow clone
