Li Can raised his eyes slightly and saw two delicately embroidered characters "ruo".

Ruoruo, is it Zhao Jiqi?

It sounds pretty good.

She couldn't help but remember that when she was ten years old, she once made trouble for Zhao Zong to call her a small character.

Zhao Ye just told her with a straight face, "Don't mess around."

Now that Zhou Xianru is here, he is quite straightforward.

She lowered her eyes, her long crow-green eyelashes covered her face, and her eyes as dark as obsidian dimmed. After all, they were different.

"Why doesn't Miss Li speak?" Zhou Xianru asked with a smile, the pride in her almond-shaped eyes could hardly be hidden.

Who is Li Can?

My father is just a low-ranking official from the fifth rank, and he cannot be promoted to a high-profile official.

"It's fine if Miss Zhou likes it." Li Can recalled what Zhao Gao had taught her just now in the study room, she curved her phoenix eyes and smiled at Zhou Xianru.

Zhou Xianru smiled when he saw her, and his eyes darkened.

Li Can continued to walk forward.

Zhou Xianru followed her step by step.

"Miss Zhou, is there anything else?" Li Can frowned.

No matter how well-educated she is, she can't withstand such a provocation. What's more, she is not a good-tempered person in the first place.

"It's nothing, let's talk as we walk." Zhou Xianru pointed ahead.

Li Can took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. If she wasn't afraid of Zhao Zong's punishment, she would have turned against her right now.

"Miss Li, you have been in the East Palace for many years, and I have only been here for two days." Zhou Xianru said with a sincere face: "There are many things I don't understand, and I will have to ask you for advice in the future. You... oops!"

Li Can patiently wanted to wait for her to finish speaking before refusing, and then quickly hide away.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Xianru was halfway through her words, she suddenly rushed forward and bumped into her. The two of them fell into the lotus pond one after the other.

It was early spring, and the river was freezing cold. Li Can sank into the water and shuddered at the cold water.

However, she was not too panicked, she knew how to drink water.

Every summer after she was five years old, Zhao Ji would take her to the hot spring palace to practice Fu Shui.

When she was a child, she was so scared that she didn't dare to go into the water, let alone let the water flood her head. She would sit by the water and cry for a long time every time.

Zhao Gong treated her very harshly. If she refused to go into the water, she would be slapped on the palm of his hand without any mercy.

Even so, she didn't dare to swim alone until she was seven years old.

After practicing for several years, I am now considered to be very proficient.

After falling into the water, she kicked her feet slightly and tried to get up.

At this moment, she noticed a hand grabbing her belt and forcefully pulling her underwater.

Zhou Xianru's urgent voice came to my ears: "Miss Li, don't be afraid... I will save you..."

Li Can understood immediately. Just now, she thought Zhou Xianru's foot slipped and he accidentally pushed her.

Now I know that Zhou Xianru did it on purpose.

Then don't blame her for being rude.

She stopped moving up, waving her hands wildly, and opened Zhou Xianru's hand that was holding her, grabbed Zhou Xianru's hair and pushed it down violently, and used her strength to float to the surface, shouting: "Help... I

……Won't……"

He took the opportunity to take a breath and sank again.

Zhou Xianru choked on a large mouthful of water. Seeing her flailing her limbs wildly and without any control, Zhou Xianru did not doubt that he was there, so he reached out to drag her again.

She had always noticed Li Can's delicate and soft appearance following Zhao Zong since she arrived, which was very unpleasant to her. Now she just made up her mind, relying on her ability to swim, she would submerge Li Can well and then freeze him half to death.

Everyone knows that Li Can is weak. It would be better if he could die of illness immediately after landing.

She also fell into the water, and she would be killed if her foot accidentally slipped. She would not be afraid even if His Highness the Crown Prince would hold her accountable.

Li Can saw her reaching out again, pretending to flutter around and accidentally dodged it, then hugged her waist with both hands and dragged her under the water.

Zhou Xianru was not afraid at first, he just twisted his body, trying to get rid of Li Can's hand.

But later, she didn't have enough breath, so she opened her mouth subconsciously, and a large amount of river water poured into her mouth. She panicked completely, waving her limbs and struggling desperately.

Li Can saw that she seemed to be a little overwhelmed, so he loosened his grip slightly, stepped lightly, and quietly took a breath.

Then, Zhou Xianru also surfaced, her mouth opened wide, and she breathed in desperately.

But after only taking half a sip, he asked Li Can to pull him into the water, and then drank another mouthful of river water.

In this way, Li Can tossed her back and forth three or four times, and when he saw that she seemed unable to bear it any longer, he let go.

But she herself was already weak, and the river was cold, so after struggling like this several times, she had no strength left, so she took a step and floated flat on the water.

The time the two of them were in the water seemed extremely long, but in fact it was only less than half a quarter of an hour.

"Quick, save the girl!"

The two maids were rushing around on the shore, but no one entered the water.

Zhou Xianru's maid knew what her girl wanted to do and deliberately refused to save her.

Li Can's maids really didn't know how to drink water, so they went to the inner hall in a panic to call for help.

This place is not far from the inner hall, and Zhao Zong heard the sound and came soon.

He pulled off his cloak and jumped into the water.

Li Can watched helplessly as he pulled Zhou Xianru to the shore before swimming towards her.

There was sourness in her eyes and she couldn't tell whether it was water drops or tears on her face.

Zhao Zhen put his arm around her slender waist and led her ashore.

Wu Zai hurriedly handed over the cloak, Zhao Zong took it, put it on her, and then leaned over to check Zhou Xianru's condition.

"Press your chest." He calmly ordered Zhou Xianru's maid.

Li Can's hair stuck to his forehead, his face was pale with cold, and his whole body was shivering. It seemed that his mind was focused on Zhou Xianru, and he didn't even look at her.

She pursed her dark lips, threw the cloak on the ground, turned around and left.

"Your Highness, the girl is gone..." Wu Zao couldn't help but remind him.

"Stop her." Zhao Zong ordered: "Keep pressing!"

Zhou Xianru spit out a lot of water under the pressure of the maid, but still did not wake up.

"Girl, your body won't be able to withstand such a cold day..." Wu Zai rushed up and stood in front of Li Can, with a smile on his face: "Why don't you follow the younger one and soak him in hot water first..."

"Go away." Li Can walked around him without stopping.

Zhao Ji wants to accompany Zhou Xianru. Even if he does, why bother asking Wu Zai to deal with her?

She is not a person without self-awareness.

"Girl..." Wu Zao neither dared to walk away nor go back, so he had to follow her all the way.

He takes one step and looks back three times.

Fortunately, he didn't go far when he saw His Highness striding over with a big cloak.

Zhao Ge couldn't help but raise his hand and wrap the cloak around Li Can, bend down and pick him up, then turned around and headed towards the bedroom.

"Let me go, I don't want you to worry about it!" Li Can grabbed his clothes and struggled desperately.

However, she had just spent all her energy in the water, and this struggle was almost negligible to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji ignored her and ordered Wu Zai: "Have someone carry Zhou Xianru back to the yard and ask for a doctor."

"Yes." Wu Zao ordered hurriedly.

After entering the dormitory, someone had already prepared hot water in the tub behind the screen.

Zhao Ye leaned over and threw Li Can, including his clothes, into the hot water.

"I don't need you to worry about it, I want to go home." Li Can just fell into the water and turned over, climbed over the edge of the bucket and climbed out.

"Don't mess around!" Zhao Zong caught her and threw her into the water.

There was a "crash" and water splashed all over the floor.

Li Can was unyielding and crawled out from the other side of the tub. She didn't want to wait any longer in the East Palace.

With a cold face, Zhao Ye stepped into the tub and pulled her down from the edge of the tub.
