Chapter 666: She pushed Empress Xi!

Chapter 667 She pushed Empress Xi!

"Bang! Bang——"

The continuous gunshots echoed over the Seine River, causing everyone on the "Poloskafi" to stop what they were doing and turn to look north.

Captain Bliss led his men to the deck and saw the "Seven Birds" parked not far away. The gunshots were obviously coming from there.

A sailor stood on the main mast of the galley. He held two lanterns in his hands and kept posing in various postures.

That was a way of communication agreed upon by the crew members who were doing transportation on the Seine River.

Captain Bliss read the gestures from the other side skillfully:

"Someone... fell into the water... on the starboard side..."

His face froze immediately, and he turned and shouted to the third mate:

"Quick! Starboard side, go and save people! Henry, you go and drop anchor!"

At this moment, the people on the "Poloskafi" were all very important - after all, not everyone could take a boat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - if one of them drowned, he would never be able to sail in France again!

Seven or eight crew members jumped into the river like dumplings, and the small boat on the side was also lowered.

Fortunately, there was still a trace of afterglow in the sunset, so that things could be barely seen on the water surface. Soon, a crew member pointed to a string of small bubbles and shouted:

"Look! There!"

After another half a minute, a black and white maid skirt appeared on the water, followed by long golden hair.

And then, Camelia's eyes were closed.

A crew member tied a rope around her waist, and the people on the "Boroskafi" dragged her onto the deck in a hurry.

Joseph and the nobles also came from the restaurant. When he saw Camelia lying motionless on the deck, his heart tightened immediately:

"What's going on?!"

"Your Highness..." The captain's face was pale and he stammered, "I'm very sorry..."

The third mate pressed the maid's abdomen hard, and then put his finger to her nose. He looked up in panic and looked at the captain:

"No breathing!"

"What?!" Joseph pulled him away and was about to rescue her when he saw Perna walking over weakly and waved to her, "Doctor Lamarck, give her cardiopulmonary resuscitation!"

This kind of first aid operation is naturally safer for professionals.

Perna was stunned for a moment, but immediately leaned over, lifted Camelia's neck, and then took out a bamboo tube from the medical box she carried with her and was about to insert it into the latter's mouth.

Joseph's eyes widened and he raised his hand to block her:

"What are you doing?"

"Ventilate the lungs!" Perna said as a matter of course.

"No," Joseph said anxiously, "Not CPR, artificial respiration?"

"Cardiopulmonary what? Artificial respiration?" Perna looked at the crown prince in confusion, at a loss like a child.

Joseph held his forehead, it was over, these first aid techniques should not have been invented yet!

He had to signal Perna to get out of the way, trying to recall the CPR first aid method he learned at the beginning of college, folding his hands and placing them on Camelia's soft chest.

"It seems to be 30 plus 2..."

He pressed the maid's heart and lungs 30 times in a row, and then pinched open the bloodless little mouth.

Joseph saw dozens of people around him looking at him in shock, hesitating for half a second, then took a deep breath, leaned over and covered her lips with his mouth.

The girl's lips were soft and cold. Joseph didn't expect that his first kiss would be given to Camelia, but he didn't care about that at this time and blew hard.

It leaked...

He frowned, slapped his forehead, pinched her upturned nose, inhaled again, blew, inhaled again, blew, and then pressed the chest 30 times...

Perna realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be performing a kind of first aid.

"Cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Artificial respiration?" She had never heard of these things. She could only clench her fists and watch from the side, and she couldn't help at all.

When Joseph performed artificial respiration for the sixth time, Camelia suddenly coughed violently and sprayed a mouthful of water on his face.

Then, she lay on her side, curled up, coughed and spit water continuously for a long time, and finally inhaled a breath of air with difficulty.

The people around were obviously stunned for a moment, and then cheered excitedly:

"Thank God! Thank the Virgin Mary!"

"Your Highness really saved her!"

"Ah, it's amazing! She had clearly stopped breathing just now..."

Behind the crowd, Miss Legris with fox eyes saw Camelia wake up, her face suddenly darkened, she cursed secretly, and then shouted with the people next to her:

"This is simply a miracle of God!"

Perna hurried forward to take over, roughly checked Camelia's physical condition, and asked two of Joseph's guards to put the maid on a stretcher and carry her into the cabin.

After more than half an hour, Camelia finally began to regain consciousness and leaned on Perna and cried.

Joseph stepped forward to help her wipe away her tears and whispered:

"Are you feeling better?"

Camelia nodded.

"What happened? How did you fall into the water?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then spoke with difficulty:

"It seems that someone pushed me..."

Joseph's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Ksode:

"Find out who did it."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ksode immediately walked out.

Sorel took a small boat and rowed slowly over from the "Seven Birds", and was then pulled aboard with a rope by the crew of the "Poroskafi".

She strode towards the cabin, and after seeing the captain, she immediately shouted:

"The lady just now was pushed into the water, I saw it!"

Then, she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking out of a cabin and was stunned.

She had been on the "Seven Birds" since yesterday - where she enjoyed luxurious dining services as a distinguished guest - so she had no idea that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on another ship not far away.

"Did you see the perpetrator?" Joseph asked.

Sorel quickly curtsied and saluted, nodded and said:

"Yes, Your Highness, I saw that man wearing..."

At this moment, Legris suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, saluted Joseph, then pointed at Heriot and said loudly:

"Your Highness, I want to expose! It was she who pushed Miss Delvaux off the boat."

Delvo is Camelia's last name.

Heriot, who was huddled in the corner and trembling all over, heard this and immediately collapsed to the ground, then looked at his best friend in disbelief:

"You...how did you..."

Joseph winked at Kesoud, who immediately ordered his guards to control Heriot.

Sorel turned around to look at Heriot's clothes and figure, and immediately nodded vigorously:

"Yes! Yes! It's her!"

Joseph looked at Legris again:

"Please tell me what's going on."

The latter looked extremely nervous and said: "Yes, Your Highness. I...I heard Heriot looking at Miss Delvaux's back this afternoon and cursing her, and saying that it would be better if she died.

"I advised her not to do this and asked her to stay away from Miss Delvaux, but she pushed me away forcefully and told me to shut up fiercely. So I just thought she was the one who plotted against Miss Delvaux."

At this time, another noble lady cautiously took half a step forward, curtsied, and whispered:

"Your Highness, I did hear someone shouting 'Shut up' at the corner of the cabin."

The middle-aged man next to him also echoed: "Yes, I heard it too."

"No! That's not it!" Heriot screamed at Legris like crazy, "It's her! It was she who told me to stay away from the Austrian bitch, so I..."

The latter immediately lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, I really didn't expect Heriot to do such a thing. I...I should have told you earlier."

Joseph waved to Kesoder with a gloomy face:

"Lock her up."
