Chapter 2474 - Ying Bao (77)
Chapter 2474 Ying Bao (77)
Under Huangfu Xuanye’s orders, Sheng Yi had been secretly monitoring Shen Wanxin for the past few days. Every movement of Shen Wanxin’s was told to him by his spies.
Just now, his spy told him that Princess Cherry and Shen Wanxin had gone to the back garden. Now that the king could not find Princess Cherry everywhere, he guessed that something might have happened.
With Sheng Yi leading the way, the two of them came to the back garden. Seeing that the gate was locked, Sheng Yi kicked the gate lock and rushed in with the king.
As expected, as soon as they entered the back garden, they heard a cry for help coming from inside. The two of them followed the voice and saw Ying Bao struggling in the pool. Ying Bao could not hold on any longer. Her body sank, and only one hand was left struggling on the water. “Cherry!”
Huangfu Xuanye was shocked. He immediately ignored the danger and jumped down to save her.
“Your Majesty, let me do it!” Sheng Yi was worried about his body. He wanted to jump down and save Princess Cherry, but Huangfu Xuanye did not need Sheng Yi to take the risk. He had to save his woman himself. If he could not save her, he would die with her.
Plop…
Huangfu Xuanye jumped into the water and swam towards Ying Bao. He finally grabbed her hand and pulled her up in time.
The pool was very deep. Seeing that the king had jumped down, Sheng Yi quickly found a rope and threw it down to help.
Huangfu Xuanye grabbed the rope that Sheng Yi threw down and successfully saved Ying Bao. “Cherry! Cherry…”
The girl had already fainted from drowning. Huangfu Xuanye performed CPR on her before she finally spat out the water and woke up.
“Cherry, are you okay?”
Huangfu Xuanye held Ying Bao in his arms, his heart aching. If Sheng Yi had not found out about it in time, Ying Bao would have drowned in the garden.
“Ahem… Uncle…”
Ying Bao opened her eyes weakly, thinking that she was definitely going to die. She did not expect that at the last moment, Uncle King would come to save her.
Seeing him again made her so touched that tears fell.
“What happened? How did you fall into the water?” Huangfu Xuanye asked.
“It’s Shen Wanxin… push me…”
It was Shen Wanxin again…
Huangfu Xuanye was furious. He ordered Sheng Yi, “Sheng Yi, arrest that woman! I want to ask for her!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Huangfu Xuanye carried Ying Bao back to the palace while Sheng Yi brought his men to catch Shen Wanxin.
Initially, Huangfu Xuanye had asked Sheng Yi to keep an eye on Shen Wanxin to prevent her from escaping the country. He did not expect that not only was she not repentant, but she had also harmed Ying Bao again. This time, he would not let her off easily!
Huangfu Xuanye carried Ying Bao back to her room and helped her bathe and change her clothes. He let her lie on the bed and rest. Then, he went to deal with Shen Wanxin.
In the main hall of the palace, Huangfu Xuanye sat on the throne of the main hall. Sheng Yi ordered his men to bring Shen Wanxin up.
When Shen Wanxin was captured, her father, Butler Shen, also came in. When he saw the king, he asked, “Your Majesty, why did you arrest Wanxin? What crime did she commit?”
“Butler Shen, you may ask your daughter what crime she has committed.”
Huangfu Xuanye glared at the woman below the stage. Just a moment ago, he had asked her if she had seen Ying Bao, but she was still able to calmly tell him that she had not seen her.
Butler Shen looked at his daughter, Shen Wanxin, who remained silent. Sheng Yi answered for her, “Butler Shen, your daughter pushed Princess Cherry into the pool in the back garden and Princess Cherry almost drowned. Do you think she is guilty?”
