Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 943: The Wasteful Prince vs. the First Female Official 1

He can't swim and is even afraid of water.

Because when he was young, he "accidentally" fell into the water and almost drowned in the lake.

Unexpectedly, he fell into the same lake again.

Xuan Yanjing desperately swam upwards. He was no longer the person who only knew how to cry and fall when he was little. He couldn't die, he couldn't die...

Xuan Yanjing choked on the water twice, and after a violent cough, he was exhausted and was about to fall down.

He vaguely heard panicked screams and crying coming from the boat, mixed together, from far away to near.

He choked on another big mouthful of water. The icy cold lake water went down his throat and into his lungs, and he immediately started coughing heart-wrenchingly.

His limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, his paddling movements became slower and slower, his arms were waving around randomly, and he even had a hard time keeping his head above water.

Xuan Yanjing felt a pain in his chest, his eyelids grew heavier, and his strength in struggling gradually faded. His body fell down involuntarily, leaving only the choking sound of water in his throat. He no longer had the strength to call for help.

Just before he gradually lost consciousness, Xuan Yanjing saw a person swimming towards him in his hazy vision, getting closer and closer. He couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but Xuan Yanjing knew who it was in his heart...

It can only be her, it must be her.

Xuan Yanjing opened his eyes again and found himself on his bed. Beside him stood a person, no, two people, with red eyes from crying.

Helian Ke and the Ninth Prince.

Both of them were very frightened. When they saw Xuan Yanjing wake up, they hurried forward to ask about his well-being.

Xuan Yanjing's throat felt uncomfortable due to the violent coughing when he choked on water, as if it had been crushed by a stone.

He frowned, but asked first: "Where is she?"

Helian Ke and the Ninth Prince were confused: "Who?"

"The person who just saved me." Xuan Yanjing changed his words.

Helian Ke finally nodded in understanding: "Cousin, ask her. After the lady-in-waiting and the imperial physician examined you, she said she had something to deal with and left first. Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Xuan Yanjing shook his head. Knowing that Lingyao was busy, he didn't want to say a word. He asked Helian Ke and the Ninth Prince to leave first on the pretext that he needed to rest.

Xuan Yanjing didn't see Lingyao until evening.

In fact, he just choked on a few mouthfuls of lake water, it was no big deal.

But that was before he met Lingyao. Now that he saw Lingyao, his feet felt sore, his hands felt weak, and even his chest ached.

Lingyao looked at the man who was holding her fingers and kept leaning against her and snuggling into her arms.

Eyebrows carved slightly: "What's wrong?"

Xuan Yanjing's voice was still a little hoarse, and he said in a muffled voice: "Nothing, I just, I missed you."

Lingyao found it funny and stroked his soft black hair: "Am I not here?"

Xuan Yanjing curled his lips: "I haven't seen you all day."

After saying that, he lowered his voice again, with a bit of grievance that he couldn't hide, and added, "They all bullied me."

The prince, who was so arrogant and domineering in front of outsiders, actually took the initiative to say that he was bullied. If Xiao Fuzi saw it here, he would probably poke his eyes out again.

One has to wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is possessed by someone.

Lingyao pinched his face: "Oh? How did I bully you?"

When Xuan Yanjing heard this, he was like being injected with a shot of stimulant. He stood up from the bed, jumped off the bed and began to dance and recreate the scene for Lingyao.

He also put his hands on his waist and imitated Gongsun Nan's arrogant look.

Xuan Yanjing learned 70% of it, and he even replayed for Lingyao how he had beaten the three men to a pulp. At the end, he even put his hands on his hips and raised his chin.

"Well, I didn't let you down, did I?"

He looks like he's asking for praise.

Lingyao looked calm, but she was actually beating the ground in her heart.

A cute creature has arrived in the world of wealth.

It actually gave her, a person who is against marriage, a glimmer of hope for marriage...

Rich: "Haha, actually I don't believe in not getting married, not even a thought of it."

After Xuan Yanjing finished performing for Lingyao, he felt that he performed a little too well!

What if Lingyao thought he was not really bullied.

So he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two drops of the prince's tears. Because the tears were too few, they were only enough to hang on his eyelashes.

But Xuan Yanjing didn't care. He blinked and started asking for attention.

"My hands hurt, my throat hurts, my whole body hurts. I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow morning..."

How could Lingyao not know what he was up to, but she wasn't really that heartless. He had just drowned today, and tomorrow morning she would ask him to get up early to do his homework.

Lingyao gave her three days of rest, and Xuan Yanjing almost couldn't help laughing out loud while hugging Lingyao.

But it was almost time, so he took advantage of Lingyao's inattention and kissed her secretly.

This time it was mouth to mouth. He noticed Lingyao's indulgence in him today, and rubbed her soft lips twice.

The next day, Xuan Yanjing woke up after a good sleep. The first thing he did was to ask the people serving him. He almost knew that these people had been replaced by Lingyao's people, so he did not hesitate to ask about Lingyao's affairs.

Moreover, in front of Xuan Yanjing, these people did not hide anything and usually called him Pavilion Master Lingyao.

"The Pavilion Master left the palace after breakfast, leaving Your Highness to recuperate in the palace."

"Leaving the palace?" Xuan Yanjing's eyes lit up. "Why didn't she ask me to go with her when she left the palace?"

"The Pavilion Master is acting privately this time, so it might not be convenient to bring His Highness with him."

Xuan Yanjing said helplessly, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fuzi came back with lunch and walked in quickly with an excited look on his face. His footsteps were almost as loud as horse hooves.

"Your Highness, good news, good news."

Xuan Yanjing yawned lazily: "What good news?"

Xiao Fuzi placed her lunch box on the table and said excitedly, "I heard today that because of your Highness's incident, the Emperor severely criticized the Gongsun Mansion and the Imperial Concubine yesterday!"

Xuan Yanjing still had a lazy look on his face.

After all, this was not a surprise to him. He fell into the water in front of so many people, and Gongsun Nan spoke so presumptuously. Even if it were not for him, for the sake of the royal family's reputation and dignity, Gongsun Nan would definitely be punished.

But Xiao Fuzi hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Your Highness, you don't know that the Gongsun Mansion wasn't just punished. The entire Gongsun family was turned upside down today. Even their official rank was demoted two levels. If it weren't for Concubine Wen's plea, the head of the Gongsun family would have nearly lost his head!"

Xuan Yanjing was a little confused. What did it mean to be demoted two levels, to be a concubine, and to lose one's head?

Although he guessed that his father would definitely punish the Gongsun family for what happened yesterday, it was ultimately just a conflict between children. His father didn't care much about him, so how could he punish him so severely?
