After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 282 Jia Hu Falls into the Water

Jia Hu looked at Jia Zhen and the young prince with great helplessness.

Jia Zhen was now holding onto Jia Hu's sleeve while cautiously looking around, his eyes seeming to say, "Everyone, stay away from my brother and don't come near us."

Looking at the young prince, although he didn't pull Jia Hu along and his facial expression was well-controlled, something was off about his eyes.

Jia Hu was touched by the two men's protection of him, but seeing the strange looks from the passing ministers, he could only sigh and pull the two men aside, saying:

“We really can’t do this. If you do this, people will think we’ve done something drastic. I’m afraid the Emperor will even drag us over to question us in a little while.”

I know you're doing this to protect me, and I genuinely appreciate your protection, but it's really okay. I'm not stupid. Don't you always say I'm smart?

Only after Jia Hu said this did Jia Zhen release Jia Hu's sleeve, though his expression remained unchanged.

Everything was normal at the dinner, and everything was normal after the meal.

Just when Jia Hu thought everyone was about to leave and return to their respective ships, the Emperor suddenly stood up and asked everyone to go to the deck together.

As Jia Hu was wondering, Situ Minghe leaned closer and whispered:

"There will be fireworks and firecrackers to watch."

Wow, Jia Hu was very surprised. He had never seen the Emperor prepare such a surprise as setting off fireworks and firecrackers on the water before.

"His Majesty has even prepared a surprise for everyone."

"I'll tell you in secret, it's not a surprise, it's just that my grandfather is bored."

The Seventh Imperial Uncle had these prepared to please his grandfather.

It must be said that there is a reason why the Seventh Prince was so favored by the Emperor.

As people began to leave, the crowd became quite large. Jia Hu, seeing the large number of people, wanted to pull Jia Zhen and the young prince together, but when he turned around, he only saw the young prince and not Jia Zhen. Jia Hu quickly looked around, but there were too many people, and he was short, so he could only shout to the guards:

"Quickly find Brother Zhen."

The guards had already started searching, and as more and more people gathered, they thought about protecting the young masters, but in the blink of an eye, Young Master Zhen was nowhere to be seen.

The guards panicked, and Jia Hu and Situ Minghe were extremely anxious. They shouted:

"Quick, find my brother!"

"Someone has fallen into the water! Someone has fallen into the water! Help! Help!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Jia Hu's heart clenched instantly, and he could hardly breathe.

Jia Hu rushed toward the source of the sound, but it wasn't his younger brother.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

"younger brother!"

"Little father-in-law!"

"It seems that the one who fell into the water is the young master of the Jia family."

When Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua heard that they had been given a pass, they immediately went to find Jia Hu and Jia Zhen, but they were a step too late. They heard someone shouting that someone had fallen into the water.

Both of them felt a sudden jolt, and Jia Daihua immediately shouted:

"Don't move! Don't move! Guards, save them immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately shouted:

"Quiet! Don't move!"

The guards began to control the scene, and Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua rushed to the place where Jia Hu had fallen into the water, only to find that Jia Hu had been thrown into the water.

Jia Daishan's eyes were bloodshot.

"Hu'er!"

The guards immediately jumped into the water to rescue the person, and Jia Daishan also jumped in immediately.

Situ Minghe and his men had already captured the assassin. Just as Jia Daihua was about to go into the water, he saw the assassin's eyes, immediately grabbed the assassin, and slapped him.

The assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Jia Daihua with a defiant gaze, and then began to convulse.

Jia Hu was terrified he would drown; his mission was complete.

"Tell me who sent you!"

Jia Daihua shook the man in his hand, and the assassin went limp.
