Chapter 1061 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Eighty-three)
Zhao Yu's face turned livid with rage. If he hadn't heard that it was the Eleventh Princess who fell into the water, why would he have so easily jumped in to save her? The man in the lake was so strong that he held him tightly and refused to let go, almost strangling him to death!
At this time, someone actually took the credit for this to Wei Ying!
He carefully examined the imperial sister's dress, which was a pink palace dress with a purple bottom and a red shawl draped over it. He quickly explained:
"Mother, Duke Wei just came out to sober up, and I happened to meet him and took a walk with him. Suddenly, I heard someone crying for help by the lake. Duke Wei said the person in the lake was wearing clothes similar to the Eleventh Imperial Sister's. I remembered that the Eleventh Imperial Sister was indeed wearing red clothes, so I immediately jumped into the water to save her. When the palace maids arrived, I handed the person over to them, and Duke Wei accompanied me back to the palace to change clothes. I heard that my father and the others were here, so I rushed here.
But now the Eleventh Imperial Sister is here, so who did I save? Could it be the Ninth Imperial Sister? Could it be that the Ninth Imperial Sister doesn't even recognize me, the Imperial Brother? My figure is different from that of the Duke of Wei!
When everyone heard the Eighth Prince's words, they subconsciously turned their eyes to Song Qingli.
The girl from the Song family also entered the palace today wearing a red dress, but now she has changed into a light blue dress.
Thinking back to the palace banquet, the Ninth Princess was clearly wearing a moon-colored brocade dress, a light color that had nothing to do with red.
Falling into the water was such a coincidence.
The emperor's face darkened slightly. He looked at the Ninth Princess and his tone became more serious: "Xiaojiu, did you make a mistake? Yu'er said he saved you, but you said it was Wei Ying who saved you. What's going on?" Wei Ying frowned slightly and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I did hear cries for help by the lake. I thought it was the Eleventh Princess who fell into the water. There were no other palace servants nearby.
Men and women should not touch each other, and I did not dare to offend the princess, so the eighth prince immediately jumped into the water to save her.
It was the Ninth Princess who unexpectedly fell into the water, and the Eighth Prince was her savior. This is beyond doubt."
The Ninth Princess's face turned pale, she lowered her head, tears silently falling. She knew that her plan had completely failed.
Recalling carefully, the man who saved her called her "sister", and she secretly resented Wei Ying for calling Song Qingli that in private.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Yu who saved her, and Zhao Yu thought it was the Eleventh Princess, so he jumped into the water to save her.
The Ninth Princess raised her head, eyes filled with grievance. "Father, I... don't know. I only remember falling into the water and then someone rescued me. I heard that Duke Wei was nearby, so I thought it was Wei Ying who saved me..." The Queen snorted coldly and mocked, "The Ninth Princess is so frivolous that she even admits her savior is wrong."
The Eleventh Princess was also indignant, but was held back by Concubine Shu and did not vent her anger on the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess wept silently, her heart filled with resentment and disappointment. She had originally thought her plan was flawless, but she had never imagined it would end up like this.
She had clearly made an appointment with Wei Ying under the name of Song Qingli, and was wearing a dress of the same color. In the dark night, with only the light, she thought Wei Ying would mistake her for Song Qingli and would definitely jump into the water to save her.
But she fell into the water and cried for help for a long time, but no one came to rescue her. When she was about to drown, someone jumped into the water. She thought it was Wei Ying, how could it be Zhao Yu!
The emperor shook his head, looked at Zhao Yu, and smiled faintly: "Xiao Ba, you saved the Ninth Princess today, which is a great deed. You are so kind to your sisters. I will confer upon you the title of Benevolent King and hold the enthronement ceremony on a certain day."
Zhao Yu's breathing quickened a bit, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Father. I only did what I had to do. As long as Ninth Sister is safe, please don't fall into the water again. If no one arrives in time, it will be dangerous."
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the Ninth Princess suddenly vomited blood. The blood splattered on Zhao Yu and the emperor, and no one close to her was spared.
