The first to arrive at the edge of the Lotus Pond were, naturally, Ji Youzhi and Ji Youze.Upon reaching the pond’s edge, Ji Youzhi, holding Xiaosuisui, asked, "Do we know who fell in?" Steward Liu Neng had someone bring torches. He said, "We don’t know yet. It was Old Man Li, who guards the back gate, who heard someone calling for help from the Lotus Pond and alerted everyone." "Has anyone gone in to save them?" Ji Youze asked. "Yes, a few from our mansion who can swim have already gone in. It’s just that it’s dark, and we can’t see the situation underwater clearly." The old steward was very anxious. He had more torches brought over quickly, illuminating the area around the Lotus Pond as if it were daytime. Ji Youzhi put Xiaosuisui down and, without a second thought, jumped in. "Seventh Young Master, be careful!" Behind them, Elder Ji and the others arrived and inquired about the situation. "What’s the situation now? Has anyone gone in to rescue them? Do we know who fell in?" Steward Liu Neng hastily replied, "People have gone down to rescue them. But we are in the north, and only two or three people here can swim. Seventh Young Master also just went in." Steward Liu Neng had just finished speaking when, with a SPLASH, another person jumped into the Lotus Pond. It happened in a flash. "Who just jumped in now? Does this person know how to swim?" Xiaosuisui, whose hand was held by Ji Youze as she stood to the side, replied in a clear, sweet voice, "It’s Pretty Sister!" "Oh dear, why is it Third Miss Xie from the Xie Family?" Elder Ji was extremely anxious. "Quick! Are there others who can swim? Get down there and search! We must save them!" "Don’t worry, Third Miss Xie lived in the south for several years. She should know how to swim." Huo Xing’Er added from behind, but before she could say more, Xiaosuisui piped up, "Pretty Sister can swim! Pretty Sister is saving someone!" Huo Xing’Er went over, took Xiaosuisui from Ji Youze’s hand, patted her head, and said, "This little mouth of yours, both a blessing and a curse!" Xiaosuisui blinked, not quite understanding. Seeing her innocent gaze, Huo Xing’Er patted her little head again. She’s still so young, just at that dawning age of comprehension. Guiding her onto the right path smoothly in the future will take an immense amount of effort and care. "Over here! We need someone who’s a strong swimmer to help!" Just as Huo Xing’Er was thinking this, Xie Pan’Er’s voice came from the Lotus Pond. It was immediately followed by Ji Youzhi’s voice, "I’m coming!" "Shine the torches over there! Quick, move towards Third Miss Xie!" Elder Ji anxiously shouted. Steward Liu Neng asked, "What about the person sent to fetch Second Young Master? Are they back yet? When will Second Young Master arrive?" "He’s here, he’s here! Second Young Master has arrived!" Behind them, a young servant holding a lantern was leading Ji Youran over. "We’ve found them! Quick, someone help pull them up!" Xie Pan’Er’s voice came from the pond. Then, Ji Youzhi, carrying someone, was helped ashore by the young servants. "They’re saved! Wonderful! Quick, let’s see who it is! How could they have been so careless as to fall into the Lotus Pond?" Elder Ji hurriedly led the group towards where Ji Youzhi and Xie Pan’Er were. Ji Youzhi laid the rescued person flat on the ground, and Ji Youran immediately stepped forward to administer first aid. At this moment, Elder Ji and the others also got a clear look at the rescued person, and they all gasped. "How... how could it be His Majesty?" Elder Ji’s face went pale, and she swayed as if about to faint, but Huo Xing’Er, who had anticipated this, quickly supported her. "Don’t worry. His Majesty is blessed by fortune and has noble help; he will surely be fine!"
