Chapter 259: Watching Someone Die without Helping
Just after Han Yao was dragged under the water by the water puppet, Yang Yun and another guard finally broke out of the encirclement and hurriedly chased after her following the traces of the carriage.
Seeing Ling Chu standing by the river, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Ling, are you injured?"
Ling Chu shook his head. Seeing that they were covered in blood, he quickly bought a bottle of golden medicine from the system.
"Treat the wound first, and then ask for a doctor after returning."
Yang Yun and another guard were both injured. Seeing Ling Chu give them golden medicine, they did not refuse it. They thanked him and took it.
Ling Chu then turned his head and looked into the water.
Han Yao struggled in fear under the water, and for the first time in her life, she experienced the taste of death.
Ling Chu saw that she was about to suffocate again, so he slapped the water puppet again.
The water puppet felt pain and had to let go again.
Seeing that the two guards had taken medicine, Ling Chu asked, "How are Guard Zhao and Guard Chen?"
"Miss, although they were also injured, they are not in danger of death."
Ling Chu breathed a sigh of relief that there was no death, and then asked about the bandits and the guards of Dingyuan Palace.
"I am ashamed that all the bandits were killed by those people."
"Don't blame yourself. It's rare that the four of you didn't lose against so many guards of Dingyuan Palace."
Han Yao had just struggled out of the water and happened to hear Ling Chu's words. She almost vomited blood in anger.
She wanted to kill that bitch, but she didn't kill her. Instead, she was thrown into the river by her and almost drowned.
This bitch was concerned about her guards.
"Bitch, you..."
Ling Chu sneered, "Bitch, you look so scared, aren't you afraid that the dirty things in the water will sink you to the bottom of the river?"
Han Yao was already terrified, and after hearing her words, her face turned pale as paper. She didn't care about scolding Ling Chu anymore, and swam desperately to the shore.
However, she had only swam twice when Ling Chu glanced at the water puppet.
The water puppet had already seen that the two of them had a feud, and stretched out his hand to pull Han Yao back.
Being dragged into the water again and again, Han Yao could not find anyone to ask for help, so she could only bow her head to Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, please save me..."
Ling Chu was unmoved, but said in a calm voice, "If you want me to save you, the county lady should tell me first, why do you send people to kill me again and again?"
Although she hated it in her heart, Han Yao just looked aggrieved, "I just want someone to take back my bracelet."
Ling Chu's eyes were suspicious. Although the bracelet was a reward from the imperial concubine, she didn't think that a county lady would send people to kill her again and again for a pair of bracelets.
Han Yao gritted her teeth just for the bracelet, "That was a gift from the imperial concubine, it's very meaningful, I naturally have to take it back."
Ling Chu knew she was not telling the truth, "You might as well tell the princess that I sold the bracelet."
Han Yao stared at her with flaming eyes, but in order to let her save him, he had to hold back his anger.
"As long as Miss Ling saves me, I promise that I will never let anyone attack you again."
Ling Chu was unmoved, "You were the one who sent people to pour oil and set fire to my house, right?"
"Miss Ling, don't slander me, my bracelet is still in your hands, how could you send people to burn your house, wouldn't that mean you would burn my own bracelet!"
"So, you didn't find that flower thief?"
"What flower thief? My father is the King of Dingyuan. How could I know that kind of dirty Jianghu person?"
"The county lady is not Are you saying that the frightened horse on the busy street has nothing to do with you?"
"And you don't know the group of bandits, and you didn't ask the people in Dingyuan Palace to kill them, right?"
Seeing Ling Chu's ironic face, Han Yao was angry and hateful, "Miss Ling, don't take other people's kindness for granted.
I just saw those bandits wanted to kill you, so I asked my guards to help rescue you.
But not only did you not thank me for saving your life, you also wrongly accused my guards of killing people."
Ling Chu almost laughed at Han Yao's shamelessness.
"County Lady Wen'an, do you think you are very smart and others are fools?"
"Since the county lady is so smart, I don't think I need to save you. You must have a way to climb ashore."
Ling Chu threw down these words and turned away.
Han Yao didn't expect that she would leave as soon as she said so. Her face changed and she said angrily, "Bitch, you dare not save me!
I am the county lady appointed by the emperor. If something happens to me, Dingyuan Palace will never let you go."
"You drowned yourself, what does it have to do with me?"
He dared to threaten her when he was about to die. He really didn't know how to live or die.
Ling Chu didn't kill Han Yao. With the water puppet, she didn't need to do it.
The water puppet was overjoyed when he saw her leaving.
After he drowned, he was trapped here for many years. It was not easy to see someone fall into the water.
He was just looking for a substitute.
Although the other party was a girl, he couldn't help wanting to drown the other party and then take the opportunity to occupy her body.
Even if he didn't succeed, it would be a hundred times better to pull this girl to accompany him than to be alone.
Unexpectedly, the girl on the shore stopped him again and again.
The water puppet hated her very much, but he was instinctively afraid of the girl.
He had been dead for so many years, and this was the first time he met someone who could see him.
Even if the other party was just standing on the river bank, he could be hit with a light palm.
Shui Kui was afraid, but unwilling to give up, so he stared at Han Yao.
He thought the girl on the shore was going to rescue the county lady, but he didn't expect that the two had a grudge and Miss Ling was going to watch her die without saving her.
Shui Kui was happy and immediately rushed to the county lady.
Han Yao was dragged into the water again.
Perhaps her hatred for Ling Chu overwhelmed her fear, and Han Yao finally remembered the dagger in her arms.
She pulled it out and chopped at her ankle.
But what she didn't expect was that the dagger was useless and she was still dragged under the water.
As she sank deeper and deeper, Han Yao's consciousness began to fade due to suffocation. In her daze, she felt a pair of sticky hands wandering on her body.
She was so frightened that she couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out.
Ling Chu walked up the slope without looking back.
But he didn't expect that there was a sudden sound of hurried horse hooves on the slope.
Han Lin, the prince of Dingyuan, was riding a horse with his guards.
Unfortunately, Han Yao was lucky.
Han Lin didn't see Han Yao, but he saw the brown horse she was riding and quickly stopped.
With the horse, Ling Chu knew that Han Yao's fall into the river could not be concealed.
Before the Prince of Dingyuan could ask, she said with a pale face, "Sir, help me, a girl has fallen into the river.
I... I can't swim, I dare not go down to save her."
Han Lin saw that her face was pale, her eyes were full of fear, and her whole body was shaky, but he did not doubt her words.
He rushed down the slope quickly and jumped into the river.
The guards who followed him had no time to stop him, so they could only jump in.
After all, Han Lin was the prince of Dingyuan Palace, and those guards could not watch him get into trouble.
Ling Chu did not leave, but looked at the river quietly.
Han Yao was dragged down by the water puppet, and it was unknown whether she was dead.
But even if she was not dead, the Prince of Dingyuan might not be able to save her from the water puppet.
