Chapter 101

Qiao Diyi saw that Qiao Jiaojiao’s thoughts were so thorough, he could only suppress his urgency and quietly wait for the best opportunity to make a move.

With the help of Liu Lu, Consort Yu Zhao slowly dragged the West Prince to the shore of Yuhua Lake.

At first, the West Prince could still struggle, but now he was truly powerless.

There were tears in his eyes, as he had never learned to swim. He was truly facing death.

What would his brother and mother feel knowing he was dead? His heart ached at the thought.

It was his fault, he hadn’t protected himself well enough.

Consort Yu Zhao couldn’t bear to look at the West Prince anymore. This child was so innocent, but he absolutely couldn’t live!

Seeing this, Qiao Diyi’s heart was pounding in his throat!

Qiao Jiaojiao stared intently at the West Prince, her expression extremely serious.

“This is a bloody lesson, and also to completely pin Consort Yu Zhao on the charge of harming the imperial heir!”

Consort Yu Zhao summoned up her courage and, with Liu Lu’s help, ruthlessly pushed the West Prince into Yuhua Lake!

Splash!

Water splashed up, and the West Prince immediately opened his mouth to cry for help, but the lake water instantly flooded into his mouth!

“Help… Help!”

The West Prince’s voice sounded intermittently, as he surfaced and then sank again repeatedly.

After a few times like this, the West Prince completely lost his strength. After sinking again, bubbles emerged from the water, and he never surfaced again.

Qiao Diyi’s palms were already soaked with sweat. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Consort Yu Zhao and Liu Lu, seeing no movement in the lake, both softened and dared not stay any longer, supporting each other as they fled in panic!

After such a huge incident, to shake off suspicion, they had to appear in public as soon as possible and pretend nothing had happened!

“Liu Lu, hurry! The faster, the better!”

Consort Yu Zhao said with a trembling voice, her skirt swaying like waves, as if she would be overtaken by something if she slowed down.

Qiao Jiaojiao, seeing Consort Yu Zhao and Liu Lu’s figures running around the rockery, was about to call for help when Qiao Diyi leaped down from the tree.

He quickly arrived at the shore of Yuhua Lake, laying Qiao Jiaojiao on the grass nearby and urgently said, “Little sister, don’t move. Wait here for Second Brother!”

Qiao Diyi turned and plunged into the lake like a nimble fish, disappearing on the surface of the water.

Swimming was a skill learned in the military, and Qiao Diyi was trained by Qiao Zhongguo since he was three years old, so he was extremely proficient in water.

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately summoned the Merit Mall and spent a lot of merit points to exchange for a Recovery Talisman.

“Just waking up the fool isn’t enough. After all, he’s still so young, and the lake water is deep and cold. If he catches a cold after being frightened, he might still die in ancient times.”

“I might as well just do it all at once. Instantly revive him!”

After doing all this, Qiao Jiaojiao anxiously looked up and saw Qiao Diyi swimming towards the shore with one hand paddling in the water and the other carrying the limp West Prince.

Qiao Jiaojiao was so anxious she wished she could speak, making babbling noises and desperately reaching out her hand to Qiao Diyi.

“Second Brother, Second Brother, quickly bring him over here!”

With some strength left, Qiao Diyi swam to the shore and climbed up with effort, placing the West Prince in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.

The West Prince’s lips were already pale, and he lay there soaked.

Qiao Diyi collapsed on the ground and saw the West Prince’s chest still faintly rising and falling.

Qiao Jiaojiao didn’t dare to delay any longer. Leaning forward, she pressed her right hand against the West Prince’s face.

“Restore to original state! Quickly help Foolish Baitian restore to his original state!”

A faint golden light shimmered and seeped into the skin of the West Prince from Qiao Jiaojiao’s palm.

Qiao Diyi felt a bit uncertain. He knew his little sister had a miraculous Merit Mall, but this was about the life of the West Prince after all.

According to the life-saving methods he had learned, he should give the West Prince artificial respiration and then perform chest compressions.

After waiting for a few breaths without any movement from the West Prince, Qiao Diyi became restless.

With his hands clasped together, he was about to press on the West Prince’s chest when a weak cough suddenly sounded.

Qiao Diyi turned his head and saw that the West Prince had turned his head slightly towards Qiao Jiaojiao, and the water that had been choked into his mouth was slowly flowing out.

“Thank goodness!”

Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly leaned down to get close to Foolish Baitian’s face and found that his originally pale skin was slowly regaining color.

“Thank the heavens and the earth, and thank you for not collecting the debt, Lord Yama!”

“Foolish Baitian, hurry, open your eyes and take a look!”

Qiao Jiaojiao pinched the West Prince’s face, putting a bit of force into it.

Foolish Baitian was groggy, and he heard a childish voice in his ears, one he had never heard before.

This made him extremely confused. Was he dead or alive?

He clearly remembered Consort Yu Zhao pushing him into the lake, nobody coming to save him, losing his strength, unable to breathe, slowly sinking…

“It’s over, why isn’t he opening his eyes after such a long time? Did he suffer brain damage from suffocation?”

“That shouldn’t be, it says on the Recovery Talisman that it can instantly heal any injury and restore to the original state!”

“Foolish Baitian! Wake up! If you don’t wake up, I’ll pinch you hard!”

Foolish Baitian was bewildered.

Foolish Baitian? Who was Foolish Baitian? Was she calling him?

“Ah!”

Suddenly, there was a stinging sensation on his cheek, making him instinctively cry out.

Qiao Diyi: “…”

Little sister, you really pinched him hard…

Fortunately, by accident, the West Prince really woke up!

The West Prince slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the azure sky and a few white clouds.

Then, a little bird’s head poked into his view, followed by a pair of shiny eyes.

“He’s awake! Foolish Baitian is awake! Thank goodness!”

The West Prince was first slightly stunned, but the next moment, he widened his eyes in shock.

Little Sister…

Was this Little Sister’s voice?

Could Little Sister talk?

“Heh, Foolish Baitian is still being foolish, doesn’t believe he’s still alive, huh?”

“It’s worth spending 120 merit points in one go. I finally saved this kid!”

The West Prince slowly reached out his hand and, feeling a bit dazed, touched Qiao Jiaojiao’s tender face.

Even though Little Sister hadn’t opened her mouth, he really heard Little Sister’s voice!

Did Little Sister save him again?
