The little palace maid Qiurong was very glad because of the last time Chunxia's incident, which made her less competitive and not so strong. She did not compete to get ahead, but escaped.

Concubine Hong took advantage of the time when the emperor and empress went to the temple to pray for blessings, but the empress dowager discovered that the empress dowager was furious. She didn't care about how the concubines in the harem competed for favors and poisoned the other party. She also came here like this. She knew that this could not be stopped, but it would not work if her precious grandson was touched. Therefore, before the emperor came back, he tried to kill Concubine Hong. After a thorough investigation, he found that Concubine Hong had won many people and placed eyeliners in various palaces. This woman was definitely not an ordinary person. Unfortunately, when Concubine Hong died, her confidants died and could not find the person behind the scenes.

Before the emperor could have time to be sad about the beauty's death, he heard the result of this thorough investigation and his hair stood up. Long Yan was furious. After the thorough investigation, many of the palace maids and eunuchs in each palace were all treated. Anyone who was a little closer to the Hongfei Palace was severely questioned, and those in the Queen's Palace were no exception. Several of the people who were not very strict were dealt with.

Qiurong is just a little palace maid. She always follows Madam Feng on weekdays. She has no chance to know any secrets, so she naturally has no way to gossip. Only then can she escape the disaster. The big palace maids are in trouble, and many of them have disappeared quietly. She thought that Chunxia’s choice was safe, and she should do it as usual. She waited for two years to ask for grace to leave the palace and get married.

At this time, in a small river outside the palace, Chunxia, ​​which made Qiurong envious, was floating in the cold river water. She and a few female companions took advantage of the rain and the wild vegetables in the suburbs to pick them and traveled in the suburbs. Unexpectedly, it fell into the river. After the rain, the stream flowed very fast and was washed away instantly, making it impossible for the little friends to rescue them.

Chunxia only felt that she must be dead this time. Somehow she thought that there was an unexpected situation in the world. No matter how she was, she could not fight for her life. If she had known this, why did she plan so carefully? She could not escape death. It would be better to live a more relaxed life and accumulate so much silver. She didn't have time to use it... In the cold river water, she gradually lost consciousness.

When she regained consciousness again, she was in a grass full of flowers, with green grass and fragrance surrounding her nose. She almost thought she was in a fairyland. However, a severe cough and the pain in her chest quickly woke her up. She was not dead yet.

"You're awake." A woman's soft voice rang.

Chunxia turned her head and met a pair of bright and clear eyes. She had seen beauties of all kinds in the palace for so many years, but she had never seen such bright and clear eyes. The eyes of the people in the palace were mixed with many things. This was a very young woman with a faint smile. Strangely, she could not tell whether she was a girl or a woman, and could not even accurately judge her age.

"This girl, you saved me?" Chunxia supported herself. No matter what, she still had to thank her first.

"I just stretched out my hand. To be precise, you saved yourself and grabbed a driftwood in the river, so that you can hold on until now." Su Yiqing smiled softly without bowing.

"Then the girl saved me. Thank you, my surname is Liu. My name is Chunxia. How dare I ask the girl's surname?" Chunxia hesitated for a moment, but decided to treat this woman as an unmarried woman. She would not be annoyed if she called a married woman a girl. If it was the other way around, she would be angry. The habits in the palace made her carefully consider every word she said, and it was necessary to eliminate any unpleasant possibility.

"My surname is Su." Su Yiqing said and looked at Chunxia. Although her clothes and hair were messy, her expression was not panicked. Such calmness was not an ordinary girl. When she saw her talking, she kept lowering her eyebrows and eyes, without looking around, and without staring at her face. She looked very respectfully. She immediately judged that this was not an ordinary girl's home.

While talking, Chunxia sneezes twice and shrank her body.

Su Yiqing said: "Your whole body is soaked. I have two clothes. You can change your clothes first."

Chunxia looked down at her soaked and her curves were revealed. Knowing that it was not the time to be sluggish, she nodded immediately, took her clothes and walked to the bushes and changed.

After a while, a clean and beautiful woman stood in front of Su Yiqing. The girl was very skillful and had a little effort to clean herself up. If she hadn't had her hair a little wet and her face turned pale, she really couldn't tell that the girl had just been fished out of the river.

Chunxia, ​​who had changed her clothes, thanked Su Yiqing again.

Su Yiqing waved her hand and said lightly: "You don't have to be polite. When I saw you, you grabbed the dead tree and half-siding on the shore. Even if you don't have me, I guess you can wake up. You don't have to bear such a big favor... By the way, if you really want to repay me, just tell me that I'm a little lost when I walk to that road in the capital."

Chunxia looked around, not familiar with where this was. She shook her head and thought about it quickly and said, "I fell from the upper reaches of the river. My house is at the west gate of the capital. Walking along the river, you should be able to reach the capital."

Su Yiqing nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go together."

I thought I could walk for an hour or two at most, but the sun was about to set. Not to mention the capital, I didn’t even see anyone. If I hadn’t been walking along the river, I would have never walked wrong. Both of them thought they were lost.

It was difficult to walk after dark. Seeing that Chunxia was also very tired, Su Yiqing suggested that she should take a break first, find a place to stay for one night, and set off tomorrow.

Chunxia was already hungry and cold, but because of Su Yiqing, she had been forcing her to walk. Now Su Yiqing proposed to rest, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then the two of them stopped by a sheltered mountain.

Chunxia originally wanted to pick up some firewood to live, after all, she had been a maid for many years and was used to heavy work to rush to do it, but she was too tired to sit down and couldn't get up. Then she saw the benefactor girl quickly picking up a pile of dead branches around her, gathering it slightly, and igniting a bonfire with a flint. Then she asked her to look at the fire, turn around, and in a moment, she grabbed a fat rabbit from somewhere, peeled it by the stream, stuffed it with wild vegetables washed by the river, and roasted it with a string of branches on the fire. After a while, it emitted an attractive fragrance, which made people's index fingers move.

After the rabbit was roasted, Su Yiqing tore off two rabbit legs, handed one to Chunxia, ​​and chewed one by himself.

Chunxia was already hungry, and it was not the time to be polite, so she took it and ate it. The rabbit meat was roasted just right, and she soon finished eating it. A girl's house didn't eat much, so she didn't eat it anymore.
