Mei Kaiyi, with her playful nature, bounced over immediately, squatting down, her eyes sparkling, “Mm, cute!”
As she looked carefully, she was suddenly pushed and with a splash, fell into the lake, continuously sinking and floating. “Ming… I can’t swim…”
Dugu Ming rushed over immediately, but the maidservant blocked him. Dugu Ming bypassed her.
The maidservant continued, “General, please think of the empress! If she doesn’t die, the empress’s position will be in danger!”
Dugu Ming was stunned for a moment; he slapped away the maidservant and jumped into the lake, swimming towards Mei Kaiye. Indeed, the current empress had the surname Dugu and was his elder sister. He came here today because his elder sister had entrusted him with a task: to bury anyone who came here.
But he didn’t expect it to be her…
Mei Kaiye was already struggling in the middle of the water. Dugu Ming swam over, supporting her armpit with one hand, heading towards the shore. Just as they started moving, Mei Kaiye wrapped herself around his body, choking his neck.
The drowning Mei Kaiye, pale-faced, eyes tightly squinted, instinctively clung like the last piece of driftwood, refusing to let go.
“Let go, Kaiye… I, I can’t move!”
Dugu Ming couldn’t move. The two of them were floating up and down in the water. Mei Kaiye not only didn’t let go but held on tighter. Soon, both of them sank. Dugu Ming’s face darkened, turned his head, and pressed his lips against hers, passing air to her.
Mei Kaiye breathed in a bit of air, finally feeling somewhat at ease, loosening her grip slightly. Dugu Ming took this opportunity to kick with one foot and swim towards the shore. Surfacing, he left her lips.
Unexpectedly, Mei Kaiye looked like she was losing her last bit of air, urgently hooking her arms around his neck, one hand pressing the back of Dugu Ming’s head, pulling him closer, kissing and sucking the air from his mouth.
Dugu Ming was still somewhat clear-headed. This was inside the imperial palace, and the person in his arms was an imperial consort. If someone saw them… Thinking this, he hurriedly pulled away from Mei Kaiye. But as soon as he left her lips, she immediately pressed against him again.
