The Survival Rules of an Unfavored Daughter

  Ling was so scared that her legs went soft, and she wanted to escape with her life. Just as she was about to be killed, Ruo Qing picked up a stone and threw it at the man, hitting his shoulder. The man looked up, glaring at Ruo Qing with a fierce light in his eyes. Ruo Qing didn't care about anything and picked up another stone to throw at him, but she didn't know if she hit him or not. The man was quite agile and most of Ruo Qing's stones missed him. At this time, he had already walked towards Ruo Qing with a knife in his hand. Ruo Qing threw another stone at him, which the man blocked with his arm. Suddenly, Ruo Qing shouted excitedly behind him, "Brother, quickly shoot an arrow at him!" The man subconsciously turned his head and saw that there was no one behind him. Just as he was about to be puzzled, his ear suddenly felt a sharp pain. It turned out that Ruo Qing had thrown another stone, this time hitting his ear. He was in so much pain that he almost fainted. This time, he was completely enraged and rushed towards Ruo Qing with a loud shout, holding the knife. Ruo Qing was scared and quickly ran into the water.

  She had never swum before, but she knew how to hold her breath and move her arms and legs like a fish. After jumping into the water, she was filled with a lot of water, and at first, she could still remain calm, stretching out her limbs and paddling a few times, and her body really floated up. Unfortunately, she couldn't hold her breath, and her nose was filled with even more water, and she sank again. She also wanted to stay calm and continue to stretch out her limbs, but this time she was powerless, and her mouth and nose were already filled with a lot of water, it felt so bad. Gradually, her body sank to the bottom of the lake, and she struggled desperately, originally, the feeling of drowning was really unbearable...

  Just as she thought she was going to drown, suddenly her body was pulled up by a strong and powerful hand. She then inhaled fresh air. At this time, she still had some consciousness, saw that someone had saved her, and suddenly the energy in her body was released like a deflated balloon, unable to exert any more strength, and could only be dragged ashore by the kind-hearted person.

  As if having reached the shore, she spat out a lot of water and Xiang Linglong hurriedly crawled forward, repeatedly asking how he was.

  The weather in March was still quite chilly, and the whole body felt damp and cold as if it had been blown by a cold wind. The teeth were chattering, but fortunately, her life was spared. After coughing up nearly half of the water from her stomach, she replied: "I'm fine, just swallowed some water. How about you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

  Xiang Xin said with a lingering fear: "Thanks to the timely arrival of King Jing, who shot and killed that bad person with one arrow. Otherwise, I would have been separated from my mistress forever."

  Linglong also said with a frightened face: "Yes, it was really dangerous. Thanks to King Jing."

  As soon as I heard that it was Li Xiao who saved me, I felt quite moved in my heart. I looked around for Li Xiao's figure, thinking of thanking him properly, but after looking around, "Huh, where is Li Xiao?"

  The guards of the other royal mansions immediately changed color upon hearing this, and one of them looked at the lake surface and suddenly shouted: "It's bad, the king hasn't come ashore yet." Immediately after, several splashing sounds were heard, and several guards had already jumped into the water to rescue people.

  She anxiously stared at the lake, praying in her heart that Li Xian would be fine and not get into trouble because of saving her. If he lost his life while rescuing her, she would live with a guilty conscience for the rest of her life and wouldn't be able to face the Jing Wang Fu again.

  The palace guards were quite skilled in water rescue and quickly pulled Li Xiu out, but unfortunately, Li Xiu was already cold and unresponsive. Rong Er was so scared that she crawled to Li Xiu's side as fast as she could, but before she could reach him, the guards had already surrounded Li Xiu and were pressing on his stomach one after another.

  After pressing for a long time, Li Xi's mouth and nose started to emit water, but he was still unconscious. At this point, the other guards were stunned, with a look of "the sky is falling" on their faces. "What should we do? Is the king already..." A relatively young-looking guard stammered.

  Another older guard shouted: "Nonsense, the prince is a lucky man with a heavenly appearance, nothing will happen to him. Prince, prince..." Then that guard frantically pressed Li Xiao's abdomen to death.

  At this moment, he was also flustered and couldn't care about anything else. He ordered them: "Is this how you rescue people? Hurry up and turn him over!"

  The others stared blankly at him, unsure of how to react for a moment.

  "What are you still standing there for? Quickly turn him over. I'll save him."

  Who would have believed that a little girl could save someone, but at this time, it was like treating a dead horse as if it were alive, and Li Xiang was turned over, crawling forward, pressing his chest with one hand, trembling with the other, pinching his lips, slowly leaning down, blowing air into Li Xiang's icy lips.

  Suddenly, a sharp hissing sound came... As if deaf to the sound, she continued to breathe deeply and again blew air into Li Xiao's mouth.

  Fortunately, Li Xiang had not been underwater for too long and was only temporarily out of breath. However, he was still extremely exhausted and continued to be so for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Just as they were starting to worry, Li Xiang's chest finally began to rise and fall, and they let out a sigh of relief. They continued to give Li Xiang CPR until he started coughing, at which point they collapsed onto the ground with a thud, unsure whether it was from exhaustion or fright.

  As soon as she came back to her senses, Ru Xing realized that everyone was staring at her with wide eyes, and her face turned red. She tried to calm herself down: "Why are you all staring at me? I did this to save a life, didn't I? And remember, don't mention today's events to anyone outside, got it?" Ru Xing thought that in the 21st century, giving CPR to a man wouldn't be a big deal, but this was ancient times, where men and women weren't supposed to have close contact. It was an era where even meeting someone of the opposite sex required careful consideration. So, it wasn't surprising that everyone was shocked by her actions. But if Li Xiong died because he saved her, she would never be able to forgive herself, and might even bring trouble to the Fang family. With no other choice, she could only do what she did.

  The guards in the palace nodded stiffly, their faces stern as they said: "You must think carefully about this. The marriage has already been arranged, and you must keep your mouths shut tight. If word gets out that the young lady saved the prince in such a way, it will be bad for both me and Li Xiao. So, all of you must keep your mouths tightly sealed. If even one word leaks out and causes my engagement to be called off, I will definitely make the prince take responsibility."

  Everyone nodded hastily and promised not to say a word about it.

  "Also, including Li Xiang, don't let him know it was me who saved him... just say I saved him, but don't mention that I used this method to save him, got it?" She wanted Li Xiang to know that although she was raised in a sheltered environment, Fang Ruoyin still had her own way of saving people and didn't look down on others.
