Yan Muxi couldn't figure it out either. She spent half the night thinking about it but still couldn't figure out who kicked her into the lake.

There was nothing about her that was worth being attacked. The kick on her butt must have been someone's sudden impulse to drag her and Yan Muyun into the water.

At that time, Yin Xia was blocked at the back and did not see who kicked her. The person walking in front of her and Yan Muyun was Miss Su, and behind them were Yan Muqing and his servant. There were no strangers in front and behind.

Who was the person who kicked her into the water? What was the purpose of doing so?

As dawn approached, Yinxia took a short nap and heard the man's breathing on the bed was still disordered. She put on some clothes and went to the inner room.

"Miss, don't think about it. It's useless to think too much now. It won't be too late to make plans after you have had enough sleep and rested your spirit!" As he said that, he sat on the couch and tucked the quilt for Yan Muxi.

Yan Muxi arched his head and rested it on Yinxia's legs, "Okay Yinxia, ​​help me massage my forehead. I have a severe headache and can't sleep!"

Because of the water choking her throat, her voice was soft and hoarse, and Yin Xia's heart suddenly ached when she heard it.

"Okay, Miss, close your eyes and sleep peacefully. I'm always here!"

"Well... I feel relieved with you guys here..."

Listening to the young lady's even breathing, she must be asleep. Yinxia slowed down her movements and moved her legs so that she could rest her head more comfortably.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Miss is such a good woman. It's okay if God is not kind to her, but why is there no end to the disasters and tribulations she has suffered?

Unlike Jin Chun and others who were arranged by the Qian family to be with Yan Muxi, Yin Xia was originally the concubine's daughter of a county magistrate in Jiangnan. When she was seven years old, she saw her mistress beat her mother to death, and then she was sold to a brothel.

Yinxia's mother is the daughter of a criminal. She is as knowledgeable as a scholar. She was taught by her mother to read and write and understand the world since she was a child. She thinks she has a sense of pride and would rather die than be a lowly thing living on a man.

But after enduring endless beatings, scoldings, torture and humiliation, she finally softened and accepted her fate, no longer resisting in vain.

I thought her life would be just like other girls in brothels, existing only to serve men with promiscuous natures, and there would be no possibility of escape and turning things around in this life.

Until that day she met the fairy-like lady, who not only saved her from the sticks, but also took her away from the brothels.

At that time, the young lady already had a maid named Jinchun, so she named her Yinxia, ​​saying that there would be gold and silver, and that they, the master and the servant, would no longer have to suffer, and would live a rich and good life in the future.

As the young lady said, not only would she not be short of money in the future, but her life would also be more fulfilling than that of the young ladies from humble families.

You can read to gain knowledge, and practice martial arts to strengthen your muscles. The young lady said, "If you learn these skills, you will be able to live well even if you don't work as a maid in the future."

When she was young, her mother taught her that her blood was noble, and no matter what situation she fell into in the future, she must not lose her pride or bend her back, and she must not develop a servile mentality.

But she believed that her noble bloodline was long gone, and even her life was given by the young lady. She was willing to bend her back for the young lady, and even sacrifice her life.

But in the current situation, even if she risked her life, she could not ensure the young lady's safety.

If Prince Rong is unwilling to marry his young lady, what should her young lady do in the future?

At that time, in the East Suburb Palace, Yan Muyun and her maid Lian Qiao, the master and servant, quietly slipped out of Chuyun Pavilion.

Yesterday, the eldest princess said that she was worried that Yan Muyun would catch a cold and get sick on the way back, so she insisted that she stay here.

The princess is the king, and she, Yan Muyun, is not even a subject. A mere concubine girl has to obey the king's order and stay here to rest.

Then the eldest princess also stayed overnight on the pretext of not wanting to move around, and lived in a house next to hers.

After all, she had lived for nearly thirty years in her previous life. No matter how honest Yan Muyun was, she could see that the eldest princess had ulterior motives in keeping her.

But even though she knew it was dangerous to stay, she still had to stay and be the lamb to be slaughtered.

At night, Yan Muyun lay in bed with her clothes on. She was so sleepy that she felt dizzy and didn't dare to close her eyes for a moment. She stayed up until the second half of the night, when she heard some movement in the yard.

She thought the eldest princess was going to do something to her in the dark of night, so she held Lian Qiao's silver hairpin in her hand, thinking that if she couldn't bear the humiliation she would just kill herself and die more easily. However, she didn't expect that after a while of commotion in the courtyard, there was no more noise.

When it was completely quiet outside, Lian Qiao went out to check and found that the eldest princess and all the servants were gone.

It was forbidden to walk around the palace late at night, so the master and servant waited until dawn before they dared to quietly step out of the gate of Izumo Pavilion.

The corridor from Izumo Pavilion to the courtyard where you are staying has to go around dozens of courtyards from the outside, but passing through the lakeside path can save half the distance.

There were guards patrolling the corridor in shifts, so Yan Muyun decisively chose to take a shortcut.

It was not yet daylight, and the temperature difference between the lake water and the air was much greater than during the day. Visibility was limited to a small area in front of the eyes in the mist.

Poor visibility is actually a good thing for Yan Muyun, as not being seen by others can save her a lot of trouble.

The master and servant walked for about a cup of tea before their vision gradually became clearer and they could vaguely see a high-walled courtyard not far away.

"Miss, the guards guarding the inner palace gate won't stop us, right?" Lian Qiao asked worriedly.

"Explain clearly that we are being kept overnight by the princess, and the guards won't make things difficult for us." Yan Muyun was just trying to comfort the little maid. In fact, she wasn't sure if she would be made difficult for him.

"cough!"

Suddenly a cough was heard. Lian Qiao was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "Miss, were you the one who was coughing just now?"

Yan Mujun's heart also trembled. The cough just now was clearly made by a man, how could it be her?

She turned around and shouted bravely, "Who's there? Come out. Hiding your head and tail will scare people."

Just as he finished speaking, a tall figure strode over from behind.

When they got closer, Yan Muyun saw the person clearly and asked, "Is it you?"

"It's me." Gu Yunting answered every question as usual, but he only answered every question and never said a word more.

After dealing with him several times, Yan Muyun also understood his temperament a little bit, and asked again, "Why is Lord Gu here?"

"On duty."

Another two short words, Yan Muyun resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "We met twice in two days, it's quite a coincidence!"

Gu Yunting did not answer. She didn't know whether his silence meant disapproval or acquiescence. However, it didn't matter to her what Gu Yunting was thinking. What mattered was returning the property to its original owner.

"Lianqiao, quickly return the cloak in the bag to the master!"

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then quickly took off the bag on her shoulder, took two steps forward and handed it to Gu Yunting with both hands.

Gu Yunting took the bag, opened it directly and took out the gray cloak inside. Ignoring the surprised looks of the master and servant, he put it on and tied the belt neatly on the spot.

Even though Yan Muyun was thick-skinned, she was still embarrassed by his behavior.

"Don't adults wash themselves? After all, it was me..." He realized that it was inappropriate after he said that and swallowed the word "through".
