Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
Dear mother
Zhou Fang Yin tried to reach the edge of the pool where he was standing earlier, the distance with water was only about one meter. Given that the western lake is the deepest, the princess herself. He could not swim, and his long hanfu further complicated things.
"Zhou Fang Yin, reach for mother's hand." said Empress Yang Jia Li, the crafty woman pretended to be worried and saved him, even though she herself pushed him.
"Come, grab!" Yang Jia Li stretched out his hand, yet he did not really want to help.
"Come, kid, get it."
Emperor Zhou who heard the chaos immediately ran out of the western hall, a sense of worry prevailed upon him when he saw Zhou Fang Yin was on the brink of the abyss.
"Guards! Go save Princess Fang Yin." he said.
The bodyguards immediately ran towards the other side of the vast lake, they ran with all their might to get to it quickly.
The Emperor and Wu Li Mei did the same, the concubine raised her han aloft. Running unhesitatingly towards the side of the lake, where Fang Yin was hanging. The shadow as he sank began to seep into his head, instantly he felt fear and his breath began to choke.
Seeing the bodyguards, Emperor Zhou and Wu Li Mei ran towards them. Yang Jia Li grew even more afraid, afraid that if the little princess said anything no later.
"Come on, grab my hand, you idiot!" as he said, the empress said as slowly as possible but was still heard by Zhou Fang Yin.
The crown princess was of course about to grab Yang Jia Li's hand, but she was unable to hold on because of the land on the outskirts of the lake that was pushing her further away. Zhou Fang Yin could no longer bear it, his hands outstretched to the empress, only a little more.
But, his one used hand resting apart, the ground suddenly collapsed and Zhou Fang Yin fell down with him.
From this side of the lake the edges are almost two meters high, the edge of the lake is higher when compared to the western hall due to the different natural expanse.
The roar of the princess fell into the lake, making Wu Li Mei's breath restrained. The memory came again, seeing Zhou Fang Yin trying to move his hand to grab the surface. Wu Li Mei stopped, her heartbeat racing violently. His son drowned in front of his own eyes, and the culprit was the same person.
"Please! To..long!!" Zhou Fang Yin shouted with all his might, scattering the water so that he would not drown. But no, there was no help. Even more tired, water enters through his nose and mouth. With a choked breath, the little princess looked at Wu Li Mei one last time, before finally drowning.
The princess' body slowly began to descend, towards the deep and cold bottom of the lake. His ears were buzzing, he could no longer hear sounds. Water had already filled his lungs, limited by his consciousness, Zhou Fang Yin was mourning his encounter with the scheming empress. Had he not been affected and ended up falling into the lake, at least he was still fine now.
In her little heart, the princess wept realizing a bitter reality. Zhou Fang Yin wanted to deny but could not, Empress Yang Jia Li was right. Wu Li Mei never thought it existed, the woman did not even extend her hand at the last moment.
Zhou Fang Yin felt a heavy weight on both of his eyelids, from this depth, the sunlight increasingly dimmed.
"YESYOOOOOO!!" Yang Jia Li shouted hysterically, the empress was crying profusely and beating herself up. Not to feel guilty, but to look innocent. The two maids immediately blocked Yang Jia Li's hand, the woman thrashed and said words full of regret.
None of the bodyguards went down to dive, as none of them could swim. Due to the great distance, by the time they got to the place, the princess was already completely submerged.
"What are you guys doing, save Princess Fang Yin!" jolt of Emperor Zhou.
"We can't swim, Your Majesty."
"What!?"
Byuuuuuurr...........
Everyone who was around the lake turned their heads at one point, they were both silent as Wu Li Mei jumped into the lake. The grand concubine nimbly dived into the cold water of the lake, she swam as fast as she could towards the point where Zhou Fang Yin drowned.
"Wu Li Mei! What are you doing?!" emperor Zhou shouted from the edge of the lake, "Quick seek help!" tell the three guards.
Wu Li Mei took a breath then went back to diving, lucky the clear lake water made her visibility far enough. The concubine found what she was looking for, a little girl who looked very much like her. About five meters from where it is. Wu Li Mei unhesitatingly dived down, Risa would have greatly cursed her if she failed to save Wu Li Mei's son. Wasn't his presence in this strange world for good? Risa is determined to live well without regrets here.
Just a little more, the woman turned around a few times and she was able to reach the princess. He immediately grabbed Zhou Fang Yin and brought him to the surface. As strong as Wu Li Mei reached the surface, damn, her left leg was cramping, but the woman continued to push herself.
"Bwahhhhh!!!" Wu Li Mei took a voracious breath, replenishing the oxygen in her lungs.
The concubine immediately swam over to a nearby spot, the bodyguards immediately helped her. Wu Li Mei until not aware if now there are many people gathered on the edge of the lake, including the queen mother.
Emperor Zhou grabbed the princess and pulled her towards the mainland, assisted by the guards. Lastly, the emperor pulled Wu Li Mei full of worry. The Queen Mother approached, examining Zhou Fang Yin's already lost breath.
"Hurry up, Physician Zhong!" he shouted, the old woman clenched Zhou Fang Yin's paled cold body.
"Fang Yin, my son." Yang Jia Li made good use of the situation, the woman with tearful tears whimpering beside Zhou Fang Yin's body. Invite empathy to the people in the palace.
Wu Li Mei watched the drama with a cruel gaze, she still had trouble regulating her breathing. Of course the woman would make calculations with the scheming empress, but there was more to it, Zhou Fang Yin's safety.
"Mother!"
Zhou Ming Hao was moved closer, due to a leg injury, he was assisted by his younger brother, Zhou Xie Ling.
Wu Li Mei nodded, "Yes, mother is fine." after saying so, Wu Li Mei got up, walked quickly towards Zhou Fang Yin.
The grand concubine pulled the strong empress who was trying to hug Zhou Fang Yin, Wu Li Mei was really fed up with this drama.
The concubine grabbed the princess's cold body from the queen mother's arms, asking people to move away and make room. Wu Li Mei positioned Zhou Fang Yin's body to lie on his back, the woman untied the hanfu on the princess' waist, as well as some annoying skewers of konde.
Wu Li Mei immediately gave first aid, he checked the princess's breath, and nil. He turned to check the pulse on Zhou Fang Yin's neck, although very weak, but he could still feel it. Without waiting any longer, Wu Li Mei performed CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) or cardiac resuscitation of the lungs. Luckily, Risa is still quite reliable in first aid, not in vain she has served in a busy ER. Wu Li Mei delivers CPR at high speed.
"Your Majesty?" Physician Zhong approached in panic, the old man looked at Zhou Fang Yin's already extremely pale state and his lips turned blue.
"Tabib Zhong?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Please open your airway for Zhou Fang Yin, open her mouth and place your index finger and thumb between her cheeks."
Physician Zhong nodded, he positioned himself according to the instructions of the grand concubine.
It had been almost five minutes, but Zhou Fang Yin's breathing had not returned. Wu Li Mei had already repeatedly given artificial breath and CPR.
"Your Majesty!" healer Zhong said, the man with the white hanfu brought his ears closer to Zhou Fang Yin's mouth and nose. "I can feel it, though it's weak but the breath is back" he added.
Everyone began to breathe a sigh of relief, especially Wu Li Mei. The woman checked the princess's heart rate and sure enough, her pulse started to return. Weak, but much better.
Zhou Fang Yin coughed out a lot of water that filled his lungs, the princess finally regained consciousness. He took a deep breath, as he still felt tightness in his breathing.
"Zhou Fang Yin, did you hear Mom?" Wu Li Mei patted the princess on the shoulder to check her body response.
"Son, did you hear Mom?"
Zhou Fang Yin nodded weakly.
"You know where this is?"
The princess nodded back.
Wu Li Mei smiled haru, rubbed Zhou Fang Yin's cheeks and peeked at her forehead. "Smart kid, you gotta hold on, baby."
"Tabby!" call Wu Li Mei.
The healers approached, this time they brought complete equipment such as palanquins, bidai, mitela, and some herbs. After the crown prince's incident, Wu Li Mei overhauled the palace's health system. Assisted by Physician Zhong, he taught many first aid measures in addition to his busy care for Zhou Ming Hao and Zhou Xie Ling.
"Prepare the palanquin, and bring Princess Fang Yin back to her pavilion. Have the maids replace the hanfunya with a thicker one, provide plenty of warmers and warm soup for Xiao Yin."
"Okay, Your Majesty." The healers immediately prepared a stretcher.
Wu Li Mei was about to get up, he had to change his hanfu and prepare some herbs for Zhou Fang Yin. Nanum, his hand was blocked by the princess herself. Wu Li Mei turned her head, instantly she panicked as Zhou Fang Yin cried, "What's the matter dear? Where's the sick one?" ask Wu Li Mei.
"You having trouble breathing?"
"Where's the pain, son?"
Zhou Fang Yin sat down, painstakingly due to his weak condition. The little girl grabbed the mother's delicate hand, "What.....what.....do you love me?"
A question that escaped managed to make everyone frown, including Wu Li Mei.
"What do you mean?"
"What..hiks." Zhou Fang Yin was unable to hold back his sobbing. "Did mom love me?" his great-grandson.
Wu Li Mei nodded, she cupped Zhou Fang Yin's two cheeks and wiped away her tears. If you look closely, Zhou Fang Yin is really a jeplakan from the great concubine. His facial lines, eyebrows, nose, lip shape are almost the same. The difference is, the princess has a more shady eye gaze. Just like Emperor Zhou's eyes.
"Of course I love you."
Zhou Fang Yin could no longer bear it, he tightly hugged Wu Li Mei. Crying sobbing with the rest of the energy he has.
