Chapter 1 Dead Kill the Living
Ten years of Yongle in the Zhou Dynasty, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the royal garden is full of spring, the strange flowers are competing for beauty, the breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
Today is the 17th birthday of Prince Yang Zheng. Chu Ruoxi, the legitimate daughter of Dingguo, the future mother of the country, was early by her own aunt. Today, the queen sent Che Luan to join the palace with her parents to celebrate the prince's birthday.
To the west of the imperial garden, Taiye Lake in spring, there is a spring willow along the coast, and there is a nine-curve bridge connecting Lingbo Pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The two girls stood on the trestle, looking at a lake of clear water and talking happily.
One of them is graceful and is at a young age, wearing a white gauze and a light gauze on his shoulders. A gust of wind blows, giving people an elegant feeling, like a fairy coming down to the earth.
Another woman of the same age is slightly younger, dressed in a long gauze yellow skirt, with hair like a crow, a pair of flexible black eyes on her white face, clear and bright, and noble between her eyebrows.
As we all know, today, the main intention of women's family entering the palace is to select concubines in the prince. Everyone is prepared to participate in the prince's birthday.
The prince accompanied the queen for a walk on the shore. His eyes were involuntarily attracted by the woman on the trestle, and a smile appeared on his gentle face.
Qin Yulan, dressed in plain white, stared at the bright yellow body on the shore. His gentle and elegant appearance made her throb and made a determination in her heart.
Even if Chu Ruoxi has the protection of Zuyin and the Empress's help, His Royal Highness doesn't like you, what can he do?
Previously, at the Minghuitang State Banquet, the prince looked at her several times. It could be seen that she had a good impression, but with Chu Ruoxi, the position of the crown princess could not be cut off in her hands.
Now there is only her and Chu Ruoxi on the trestle!
Her heart is cruel. Relying on the water quality that grew up in the land of water, even if she falls into the water for a while, it will not matter. She intends to let it go.
"Miss Chu, you, ah...help..."
Chu Ruoxi was entangled by Qin Yulan and was about to leave, but she found that her wrist hurt. Qin Yulan grabbed her hand and suddenly pulled it to her chest. With a scream, her body fell under the trestle.
The change was too sudden. Before Chu Ruoxi could react, his body rushed forward because of Qin Yulan's pull.
"Plop..."
The water splashed, and both of them fell into the cold Taiye Lake. The lake ripples and quickly smoothed the ripples on the surface of the water. By the time the bodyguards heard the news jumped off the lake, the two had already disappeared into the surface of the water.
Qin Yulan has calculated everything, but she has forgotten a big event. Now it is early spring and the spring water is cold. Her career as a daughter for so many years is no longer the physique of a child in those years.
After falling into the water, the water was cold and piercing. As soon as she dragged Chu Ruoxi to the bottom of the water, she had a cramp in her calf and wanted to emerge to save herself, but she was unable to do it.
At this moment, Chu Ruoxi, who was floating at the bottom of the water, suddenly opened his eyes and dragged Qin Yulan deeper...
