386 Forgotten About Gu Zichen!
When Gu Nuo’er heard Ye Siming’s anxious call, the child was very flustered.
Oh dear… If Elder Brother Siming found out that she was pretending, wouldn’t her small hand be bitten to the extent that it would hurt to death?
She felt very troubled.
Since that was the case, she would put up with the pretense until the very end!
However, what should one look like when they are drowning?
She was a fish, so she had no idea!
Gu Nuo’er thought about it and decided to perform on her own.
Ye Siming saw Gu Nuo’er’s long black eyelashes tremble on her fair face.
Then, the child puffed up her pink cheeks.
She spat out two mouthfuls of lake water symbolically.
She then let out two childish sounds. “Bubu~”
Gu Nuo’er opened her eyes “weakly”.
“Elder Brother Siming… I… I’m not dead, right?”
When Ye Siming saw that she had woken up, his cold eyebrows finally relaxed.
He hurriedly hugged the child tightly.
“You’re not dead. You’re still alive.”
The surrounding commoners all let out relieved sounds—
“Thank goodness, she’s fine! Oh dear, this little girl is so beautiful. It would be a pity if she died!”
“That’s right. This lake water is also strange. Why does it suddenly look like it’s boiling?!”
Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes were big, and her black hair was wet and stuck to her fair and pearl-like skin.
She looked around and asked with difficulty in Ye Siming’s arms, “Did Elder Brother Siming see my fifth brother?”
Only then did Ye Siming let go of her and look back at the lake.
Broken wooden planks floated on the calm lake, and some bandits had their backs to the sky.
Those bandits seemed to have drowned.
However, Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er looked around two or three times but didn’t see the fifth prince.
Gu Nuo’er scratched her chubby cheek, feeling a little troubled. “Oh no…”
Did she go overboard? She hoped that she hadn’t drowned her fifth brother!
She had been in a hurry to save Elder Brother Siming just now and had forgotten about Gu Zichen!
Ye Siming lowered his eyes and saw that the child’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
He pursed his lips and stood up. “Wait here. I’ll go look for him in the lake. Maybe he’ll still be breathing after I fish him out.
Just as Ye Siming finished speaking, a slender hand suddenly reached out from the water and pressed down on the shore.
Immediately after, Gu Zichen stuck his wet head out and pulled an unconscious person with him.
Gu Nuo’er hurriedly called out in a soft voice, “Fifth Brother! You’re fine. That’s great!”
When Gu Zichen saw that his sister was fine, he also seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
The refined and cold frown on his long eyebrows eased up a lot at this moment.
He chuckled. “Fifth Brother won’t die so easily. I even saved someone along the way!”
After saying that, he asked Ye Siming to help pull Hang Tongfu up.
Then, Ye Siming reached out his hand to Gu Zichen.
Gu Zichen raised his head in the water and could see the youth’s extremely cold and deep eyes.
He knew that this was Gu Nuo’er’s personal guard, Ye Siming. He was also Marquis Yongye, who was valued by the emperor.
Gu Zichen had always heard that Marquis Yongye had a cold and arrogant personality. He didn’t expect him to be so enthusiastic.
Therefore, Gu Zichen also reached out and borrowed his strength to get to the shore.
He said, “Thank you.”
Ye Siming didn’t answer him and only turned to look at Gu Nuo’er.
He seemed to have thought of something and frowned. He looked up and said to Jiang Xiaoran, “Take off your outer robe.”
Jiang Xiaoran, who was suddenly called out, was at a loss. “Huh?”
“Hurry up!” Ye Siming urged with a reprimanding and domineering tone.
Jiang Xiaoran looked like an aggrieved wife. He took off his pink outerwear and handed it to Ye Siming.
“This is made from ice cicada silk…” He couldn’t help but mutter.
