"Ama, Ama..."
Suddenly, a series of crying voices woke up the sleeping prince.
The prince slowly raised his head, his head still a little dizzy. He suddenly realized, how did Xuan'er fall into the river?
The river water was rolling and swirling, and Hongxuan looked so small and helpless in the water.
He was holding tightly onto a piece of wood that looked unsafe, and his whole body was bobbing up and down on the water with the wood. He looked terrified.
This place seems to be the western suburbs of the capital, with desolate land all around and only the gurgling sound of flowing water that is particularly harsh in the silent night.
The prince's heart instantly rose to his throat, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted at Hongxuan:
"Xuan'er, don't be afraid, Ama will go down and save you right away!"
A series of questions flashed through the prince's mind, but he had no time to think about it. Finding the child was great news!
A few shrill cries of crows broke the silence, as if it was the call of the god of death, making the prince even more panicked.
He didn't care how cold the river water was in early spring. He kicked his feet hard and jumped into the river with a "splash".
The icy water instantly enveloped him, causing him to shiver. But he ignored all that and swam desperately towards Hongxuan.
Finally, after some hard work, he swam around Hongxuan.
The prince stretched out his trembling hands and hugged Hongxuan tightly. Hongxuan's body was shaking constantly, and her face was full of tears of fear and helplessness.
The prince felt very distressed and held him tightly in his arms, then swam towards the river bank with him in his arms.
The early spring wind was still a bit cold and biting, like sharp knives cutting into their wet bodies.
Hongxuan sobbed and said:
"Father, Xuan'er is cold and hungry, why didn't you come and save me earlier?
I don't want that woman to be my mother, I want my own mother!"
When the prince heard Hongxuan say this, he couldn't help feeling distressed, and he subconsciously wrapped Hongxuan in his long gown.
Unfortunately, because the water flow was too fast, his long gown had already been wet.
At this time, a strong wind blew, and the two people were shivering in the water in the cold wind. The prince hugged Hongxuan tightly, fearing that he would be washed away by the river!
"Father, Xuan'er is so cold!"
Only then did the prince realize that Hongxuan's body was becoming colder and softer.
Suddenly, he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
The prince shouted anxiously: "Xuan'er, Xuan'er, don't sleep, we are almost at the shore!"
When they reached the shore, the prince pressed Hongxuan's philtrum hard and kept pressing on his chest, trying to make Hongxuan spit out the water he had drunk.
After pressing for an unknown amount of time, Hongxuan suddenly opened her eyes and said to the prince blankly:
"Father, I'm leaving soon. Please live well with my mother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes forever. The prince was immediately terrified and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuan'er, Xuan'er, hold on, Ama will take you to see a doctor!"
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er..." The prince became more and more anxious and shouted louder and louder.
His rapid shouting finally woke Siyu up.
Siyu saw that the prince closed his eyes and kept calling "Xuan'er"'s name. His hands flapped in the air, as if he was trying to grab something tightly.
Siyu whispered in the prince's ear, "Prince, Prince, are you having a nightmare?"
The prince finally woke up. Hongxuan's sad and helpless look just now pierced the prince's heart.
Beads of sweat broke out on the prince's forehead. He glanced at Siyu beside him and was sure that he was indeed in the mansion and that what just happened was just a dream!
He slowly calmed himself down, changed his clothes and headed outside.
His action frightened Siyu. She grabbed the prince's arm and asked:
"My Lord, please tell me where you are going in the middle of the night."
The prince struggled to free himself from Siyu's hand and shouted helplessly, "I can't wait any longer. If I can't find Hongxuan, I'll go crazy!
I'm going to the palace now, it's almost five o'clock in the morning! My brother will definitely send someone to help me find Xuan'er!"
After saying this, he didn't care about the cold night, put on his clothes, picked a horse at random and rushed to the palace.
