Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Pingyang and others on the other side of the river naturally had a full view of Li Xiang's crazy behavior.

Yuzhu exclaimed: "Are you crazy? The current is so fast, how can he swim over it?"

Pei Yunqian tightened his eyebrows and cursed angrily: "This **** is really desperate for his life."

At this moment, Pingyang's face turned pale with fright, and she stared at the water without moving. She was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe. She didn't take a breath until she saw Li Xiang's head emerging from the vast water.

Pingyang left everyone behind and hurried to the water's edge, calling loudly to her husband and asking him to grab the rope and swim back, but Li Xiang still stubbornly swam towards her.

The water here was so strong that even the boat could not support it. How could they make the trip on their own? Li Xiang and Gu Yong swam less than halfway before they were swallowed up by the turbulent water.

Pingyang was so frightened that she could no longer care about anything else. She called Li Xiang urgently and subconsciously walked into the water, but was stopped by Yuzhu: "Madam, do you want your life? Stop it quickly."

"Let me go, are you going to let me watch him die?"

Pingyang's voice changed in anxiety, almost roaring when he spoke.

 “Come back! Let me go!”

Pei Yunqian pulled Pingyang back, pushed her to Yuzhu, and said sternly: "Keep an eye on her."

When he saw Li Xiang's crazy behavior, Pei Yunqian had already expected that he would drown. At this moment, he had a rope tied tightly around his waist and one end was held by his entourage. Pei Yunqian pulled him back to Pingyang and jumped into the water desperately to save him. people.

The water was turbulent. Pei Yunqian went down to the river and groped for a long time before catching Li Xiang. At this moment, he sank under the water and was tangled in the lush aquatic plants. Fortunately, he was not washed away by the river, but he had already drowned. The whole person has passed out.

Pei Yunqian pushed aside the weeds, picked up Li Xiang, and dived out of the water with all his strength. The river was strong, and more than ten strong men on the river bank tightly pulled the ropes to pull him back. Everyone worked hard together, and it took a lot of effort. Drag the two ashore.

Pei Yunqian pushed Li Xiang to the ground and pressed his abdomen hard until he vomited out a lot of water and finally regained consciousness.

“Tell me, you are such an adult, how come you do stupid things?”

Pingyang was so frightened that her face turned pale. It wasn't until she saw that Li Xiang came back to life that she felt confident. She took off her cloak and wrapped it around Li Xiang. She couldn't help but blame him while crying.

Everyone hurriedly carried Li Xiang back to the post house. Pei Yunqian ordered someone to find a doctor. The doctor prescribed medicine for him. After boiling it, he drank it and waited for a long time before Li Xiang opened his eyes.

Pingyang couldn't help but scold him again: "Why do you do stupid things? You scared everyone to death."

Li Xiang was still very weak. He grabbed his wife's hand and whispered back: "Pingyang, I'm here to find you."

Pingyang's tears burst down her face. She nodded towards Li Xiang and choked with sobs: "I know."

The autumn water was very cold. After such an experience, Li Xiang managed to save his life, but he developed a high fever at night. Pingyang was so frightened that he ordered a doctor to be called in. The doctor only said that it was cold air that invaded the body, and he needed to rest well before he could recover. .

Pingyang was worried about Li Xiang, so she stayed by Li Xiang's side and stayed up all night.

In the early morning, Yuzhu came in and saw that Pingyang was so tired that her eyes were dark. She stepped forward and looked at Li Xiang who was lying on the bed and asked, "My uncle, the fever hasn't gone away yet?"

Pingyang nodded and said: "The fever is severe. I talked nonsense all night last night." Yuzhu comforted Pingyang and said: "You have stayed up all night. Please go and take a nap for a while. My servant is here to guard you. If I wake up, I will call you. That’s it.”

Pingyang sighed slightly: "How can I sleep with him like this?"

Yuzhu poured a cup of hot tea for Pingyang, then sat next to her and said, "I don't know what my uncle is thinking. The bridge will be repaired in just a day or two, but he insists on jumping into the river and swimming over. Oh! It's really scary." Well, if it hadn’t been for Young Master Ciao’s wit, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Hearing Yuzhu mention Pei Yunqian, Pingyang suddenly thought of him. She asked hurriedly: "How is my cousin? The river is rushing, has he not been aroused by anything?"

Yuzhu replied: "Young Master is fine. I just met him when I went out to fetch hot water, and he asked me about you and my uncle."

“You stay here and I’ll go see my cousin.” With that said, Pingyang got up and left the house.

Pei Yunqian was standing on the corridor of the post house. When he saw Pingyang coming out, he took two steps forward and said, "I heard from Yuzhu that you stayed up all night last night. What are you doing now? Why don't you sleep in the house for a while?"

"I'm fine." Pingyang stepped forward, looked at Pei Yunqian and said, "Thank you so much, cousin, for yesterday."

Pei Yunqian smiled slightly: "Why are you so polite with me? Just go back quickly. It's cold outside in the early morning. Go back and take a nap."

Pei Yunqian urged Pingyang, but Pingyang didn't move. She asked, "The autumn water is very cold. Yesterday, my cousin soaked in the water for a long time to save my husband. Did you catch the cold?"

Pei Yunqian looked at Pingyang and said with a smile: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

As she said that, she seemed worried that Pingyang would not believe it. Pei Yunqian joked to her again: "We are from Jiangnan. I grew up in the water, so I can withstand water better than those landlubbers."

Pingyang was so amused by him that he covered his mouth and smiled, and warned: "The autumn water is cold, so don't be careless. I will ask them to bring you a bowl of **** tea later."

Pei Yunqian just said: "Just take care of yourself, don't worry about me."

Pingyang was about to turn around and go back when Pei Yunqian said again: "He is fine, so don't worry. I have sent someone back to the palace to deliver the news. When the palace sends someone to pick him up, you can take him back and raise him." After he recovers his health in a few days, you can return to Beijing."

Pingyang asked: "What about you?"

Pei Yunqian said: "The bridge deck will be repaired early tomorrow morning. I have to rush back to take the mission to Northern Xinjiang. I have to leave for Beijing tomorrow."

Hearing this, Pingyang turned around, looked at Pei Yunqian and said, "Then if we return to Beijing, won't my cousin have to go to Northern Xinjiang?"

Pei Yunqian nodded towards Pingyang. Seeing her sad face, he smiled again and said: "Your Majesty wants me to go to Northern Xinjiang to practice first, and I may have to return to Beijing in the future. Don't worry, I won't Now that I'm in Beijing, I can still support you."

As he said that, he looked up at Pingyang's house and said with a smile: "From what I saw from this boy's actions yesterday, it can be seen that he really cares about you. Haha, I'm relieved. But if he dares not to cherish you again in the future, I will throw him back into the meandering water to feed the fish."

Pingyang smiled bitterly and murmured: "I am an adult too. My cousin doesn't have to worry about me all the time."

Pei Yunqian glanced at Pingyang's pale face, and restrained himself from urging her: "You're tired, and he will die too."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized his gaffe and quickly changed his words: "He is fine either way. Don't tire yourself. Go back and take a nap to recuperate."
