At that time, there were many people and it was noisy. When Yan Huaijing rushed over, the two of them had already sunk into the water. It was not impossible to save the wrong person in a panic, but Mrs. Han wanted to hear Yan Huaijing admit it herself.

Worthy Consort Xu asked the palace maid to lower the curtain and cover Han Jingshu. She also asked the eunuch to move the screen away. Yan Huaijing, who was still dripping water, suddenly appeared in front of them.

Han Jingrou protected her sister and did not interfere with the matters between the elders and the Second Prince.

Mrs. Han’s gaze landed on Yan Huaijing’s face without blinking. She said domineeringly, “Your Highness, did you deliberately not save Shu’er or did you save the wrong person?”

I didn’t save the wrong person. These words were stuck in Yan Huaijing’s throat.

Worthy Consort Xu kept giving Yan Huaijing looks. At first, it was a threat, but slowly, it turned into a plea. The Empress had left the Fengshai Palace and joined forces with the Young Master Manor. They could not lose the powerful arm of the Prime Minister Manor.

Yan Huaijing clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart. “I…”

“Mother,” Han Jingrou said. “Sister is awake.”

Mrs. Han took a deep look at Yan Huaijing, left him and walked in front of the bed. Worthy Consort Xu didn’t know if she should heave a sigh of relief or not. She waved her hand and asked Yan Huaijing to change his clothes.

“Shu’er, how are you feeling?” The palace maid lifted the curtain. Mrs. Han came to the bed and sat down, holding her daughter’s cold hand.

Han Jingshu said weakly, “I’m fine, Mom. I want to go back to the manor.”

Mrs. Han patted her daughter’s hand. “Okay, let’s go back. I’ll bring you back now!”

Worthy Consort Xu wanted to explain more, but Mrs. Han’s cold expression showed that she could not hear a word. Mrs. Han and her second daughter left the Xianfu Palace with Han Jingshu. Worthy Consort Xu’s heart was in turmoil.

If Han Jingshu was an ignorant little girl, she might have believed what she said just now. However, she was too smart. It was impossible for her to not know if her son had saved the wrong person.

Worthy Consort Xu used to like Han Jingshu’s intelligence, but now she wished she was more stupid.

Worthy Consort Xu glared at her son. “What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and send Mrs. Han and go to the Prime Minister Manor to apologize!”

In the side hall of the Zhaoyang Palace, Yu Wan had also changed her clothes and was preparing to leave the palace to return to the manor. The commotion in the pool was too big, and even Emissary Cui was shocked. Emissary Cui brought the wet Yu Wan back to the Zhaoyang Palace and got someone to prepare hot water. She also ordered the doctor to make a bowl of ginger soup.

Yu Wan had extra clothes in the carriage. It took Li’er a while to get the clothes. Yu Wan drank the ginger soup and took a bath. The cold air in her body was forced out, but she still did not feel good. Her head hurt!

She had indeed seen the Second Prince from afar today, so she deliberately pulled Han Jingshu into the water. She wanted to bet that Yan Huaijing would leave Han Jingshu behind to save her.

Of course, she knew how to swim and was quite good at it. She planned to swim up herself when Yan Huaijing swam over. She only needed to let Han Jingshu see with her own eyes that she had been abandoned by Yan Huaijing. What caught up to her plan was the moment she retreated, her head hit a big rock underwater. Fortunately, her head did not break because of the resistance underwater, but it caused a big bump.

Indeed, one could not do bad things? Yu Wan touched the bump on her head. Hiss! It hurts, it really hurts!

Fortunately, Yan Huaijing was quite well-behaved in front of everyone. After coming out of the water, he only grabbed her shoulder and pulled her ashore. After that, he handed her over to the palace servants by the pool. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them did not have much physical contact.

Yu Wan thanked the Empress and left the palace with Li’er.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate. Tao’er, who was guarding outside the carriage, was pale.

Yu Wan groaned and lifted the curtain to get into the carriage. As expected, she saw Yan Jiuchao sitting in the carriage with a cold expression. His expression looked like he wanted to eat someone, no wonder her personal maidservant was frightened.

Worthy Consort Xu would suppress everything that happened in the pool, but she could not hide it from him. Look at his dark face. He most likely already knew that Yan Huaijing had saved her.

Yu Wan lowered the curtain and obediently sat down beside him. She explained, “I didn’t do it on purpose… No, I did it on purpose, but I didn’t mean to get close to Yan Huaijing…”

Fine, the more she explained, the worse it became.

“It hurts.” Yu Wan changed the topic.

Yan Jiuchao still had an ice-cold face.

Yu Wan handed her head over. “Look, it’s swollen.”

Yan Jiuchao’s gaze landed on the top of her head, which was slightly close to the back of her head. There was indeed a big bump there.

“You deserve it!”

Although he sounded unreasonable, he took a medicine bottle and opened it. His slender fingers were dipped in dark red ointment and he applied it bit by bit on her big bump.
