Chapter 600: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (7)
Seeing her like that, Shuangshuang simply helped her and said.
"careful!"
In fact, he grabbed her hand and pushed hard, and they both fell into the water at the same time.
What everyone saw was that Yang Liu deliberately framed them, and Shuangshuang went to save her, but ended up being dragged into the water by her.
The third prince rushed over quickly and jumped into the water. He picked up Yang Liu and pulled her out of the water. He left without even looking back.
Everyone watched as Shuangshuang struggled for a few times and then sank.
Princess Zhongyi rushed over, "Shuang'er! Shuang'er!"
Suddenly there was a plop and a tall figure jumped in.
"Sister Shuangshuang! Brother Xiangyu is here to save you!"
When the queen saw that it was the eldest prince, she was immediately frightened.
He was about to jump into the water in panic, but was stopped by the emperor.
"Don't panic, the guards are here, our prince will be fine."
The queen pushed him away and lay by the pool, crying and shouting.
"Xiangyu, Xiangyu, come up quickly, don't scare me!"
The eldest prince saw Shuangshuang fall into the water and came to rescue them, but he couldn't swim and fell straight down like a weight.
Seeing this, Shuangshuang rolled her eyes inwardly.
He quickly struggled to grab his hand, then moved towards the guards who were coming to rescue him.
When they came out of the water, they both fainted in time.
The old father was seen by King Zhongyi who came over after hearing the noise, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot.
"Shuang'er!"
The emperor's heart skipped a beat. "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
He then ordered, "Quickly send the princess to the nearest Lotus Appreciation Palace."
King Zhongyi quickly took off his outer robe and wrapped Shuangshuang in it, then suddenly stood up while holding her.
"Don't bother, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he carried Shuangshuang and walked out of the palace.
"No, no, brother, our health is more important!"
Prince Zhongyi looked at Shuangshuang, and thought that it would take a long time to leave the palace, so he followed the emperor's instructions and sent him to the Lotus Appreciation Courtyard.
The eldest prince was soaked all over, but he followed Shuangshuang closely despite the queen's dissuasion.
He kept murmuring, "Shuangshuang, don't be afraid, Brother Xiangyu will protect you!"
Because a palace banquet was being held, all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau were on call around the clock. Logically, they should have arrived quickly.
Everyone waited in the Lotus Garden for a full quarter of an hour, but no doctor came.
Only the eunuch who went to invite the imperial physician came and knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have been asked by the Third Prince to go to the next courtyard to see Miss Yang Liu."
The emperor slammed the table in anger and said, "Stupid!"
He then instructed the chief eunuch, "Go in person and fetch Imperial Physician Chen."
Imperial Physician Chen arrived very quickly. When he saw Shuangshuang, his face changed instantly.
Without caring about anything else, he started to take Shuangshuang's pulse.
Then he said that Princess Chang'an needed acupuncture immediately in this condition.
After Imperial Physician Chen finished acupuncture, Shuangshuang slowly opened her eyes after a while.
The Loyalty King and his wife burst into tears, "Shuang'er, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
They both shook their heads and slowly turned to look at the emperor weakly.
"Your Majesty, I want to break off my engagement with the Third Prince!"
The imperial concubine naturally disagreed when she heard this, and immediately stopped the emperor without waiting for him to speak.
"Changan, why are you saying such angry words?"
Shuangshuang ignored her. It wasn't like she wanted to please the original owner because she loved her so much!
It is precisely because of this that the mother and son feel fearless and trample on the original owner's sincerity at will.
They blinked weakly, as if they would faint at any moment.
"Your Majesty, I am not speaking in anger.
The Third Prince has let me down time and time again for such a lowly person.
Today I even disregard my own life for her.
Now I finally figured it out. This was what I had been forcing myself to do before.
Now I am breaking off the engagement and giving the position of the Third Prince's Consort to his beloved, which is also fine."
After saying this, Shuangshuang could no longer hold on and fainted again.
The emperor quickly ordered Chen, the imperial physician, "Quick, check her out!"
Imperial Physician Chen took out the silver needle again and quickly gave Shuangshuang acupuncture.
However, it didn't work this time either.
After the whole set of injections, Shuangshuang showed no signs of waking up.
Imperial Physician Chen knelt before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence!
The princess was already injured, and this time she was seriously injured.
Even if…even if it is lucky enough to recover, I am afraid it will not be good for future generations."
Princess Zhongyi threw herself on Shuangshuang, "Shuang'er, wake up, don't scare me!"
Princess Zhongyi cried for a long time, and suddenly her eyes widened as if she thought of something.
With a thud, he knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please agree to cancel the engagement!"
The Third Prince has always looked down upon Shuang'er and has repeatedly put her in desperate situations.
I, your humble wife, do not want my daughter to die with regrets!"
Prince Zhongyi also knelt beside the princess and said, "Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything in all these years.
Now I only ask that you, for the sake of watching Shuangshuang grow up, please love her a little bit!"
The imperial concubine wanted to say something, but the emperor nodded guiltily.
"Oh, what a good child! I really want him to be my daughter-in-law.
But since that's what you want, I'll just agree to her!
"Pass on my decree. The marriage between the Third Prince and Princess Chang'an is cancelled. From now on, marriages between men and women will have nothing to do with each other!"
Thinking of the culprit who caused Shuangshuang to fall into the water, he gave a cold order!
"Yang Liu, the maidservant beside the Third Prince, committed treason and framed the Princess. She shall be caned to death in court!"
Someone immediately went to Yang Liu to rest, and regardless of the presence of the Third Prince, dragged Yang Liu outside.
When Yang Liu heard that he was going to be beaten to death, he was so scared that he struggled hard. Several eunuchs almost couldn't hold him down. He didn't look as sick as he did just now.
When she saw the Third Prince, she burst into tears, "Third Prince, help me, Third Prince, please save me, I am pregnant with your eldest son!"
The Third Prince grabbed the man and said, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Be careful of the baby in her belly!"
"Third Prince, by order of the Emperor, the palace maid Yang Liu has committed treason and framed Princess Chang'an. She shall be caned to death in court!"
After saying this, he no longer wanted to see the Third Prince's expression, but waved his hand at the person behind him, "Drag him away!"
The Third Prince stopped him, "Impossible! How could Father do this?"
"Third Prince, I am only following orders. Please do not disturb us."
After saying that, he pushed the third prince away and dragged him out.
The third prince stumbled out and knelt before the emperor.
"Father, you can't do this to me. Yang Liu is pregnant with your grandson."
"Shut up! Anyone can give birth to my grandson, but she, a lowly slave, has no right to do so!"
Yang Liu was nailed to the torture rack, and she was so scared that she burst into tears and snot.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do that again. I will respect Princess Chang'an from now on."
When the imperial concubine saw that she had caused her son to lose a good marriage, she hated her even more and hated her to death.
