In her previous life, Yan Muyun's grandfather was a swimming coach. Since she was born, she had been dealing with water. As long as she didn't fall into the boundless sea, she would not drown.

Yesterday, after she fell into the water, she held her breath immediately. When she was out of the fast-flowing water, she took off her cotton coat for convenience.

Afterwards, she swam to the other side of the lake as agreed with Yan Mucheng. When she climbed onto the shore, she found that her wet skirt was hanging on her body. Her curves were exposed and she looked so miserable that she could not appear in front of others.

Just when he was wondering what to do next, a team of patrolling guards came towards him.

It's okay if you meet a eunuch, since they are all sisters, it's okay to let them see you. If you are lucky, you can even ask them to help you get some clothes.

The guards are serious men of steel. If she were seen like this, she would probably have to shave her head and become a nun in the future.

Seeing the guards getting closer and closer, Yan Muyun had no choice but to turn around and jump into the lake, thinking of waiting until everyone left before going ashore.

Unexpectedly, her body jumped into the air, and suddenly someone grabbed her back from behind, and then she fell into a strong embrace.

Turning around and looking up, I saw a sharp jawline like a knife, and heard a deep and powerful command in my ears.

"Turn around and get out of the way!"

After a series of "dong dong tat tat" sounds, Yan Muyun leaned over to look behind the man and saw a whole team of guards marching in neat steps towards the distance.

With her heart half relieved, she looked up at the man in front of her and found that it was Gu Yunting, whom she had met twice before.

Because of nervousness, Yan Muyun forgot how embarrassed she was at the moment, took a step back and asked, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yunting did not rush to reply. He quickly untied his cloak and approached her, then wrapped her up from head to toe. After wrapping her up tightly, he replied expressionlessly, "I am here to serve as a temporary official at the palace under the order of the Emperor."

He only answered her questions without explaining further, and she didn't know whether she should ask more questions.

After thinking about it, she decided to give up. What does it have to do with her where the other person is on duty?

So, she wrapped her cloak tightly around her, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for your help. I would also like to borrow your cloak. I have something urgent to do, so I'll take my leave now. I'll thank you again someday!"

Having said that, he turned around and left without waiting for the other party to refuse, for fear that his cloak would be taken back from him.

Unfortunately, she was not walking fast enough. "Wait!" Gu Yunting called out to her from behind.

The voice was so loud that it echoed for a long time before fading away. She couldn't ignore it and could only grit her teeth and turn back, "My lord, is there anything else?"

Although I couldn't see what I looked like, I could tell by my imagination how flattering my smile was at that moment.

The cloak really couldn't be taken back. If she couldn't reach the other side in a short time, her fall into the water would be in vain.

Gu Yunting still had an expressionless face, "Do you need me to take Miss Yan back?"

It turns out you don’t want a cloak!

Yan Muyun felt relieved and quickly shook her head, "Don't bother Master Gu. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. I can go back by myself."

Having said that, he started running, imagining that he was walking on the wind and running faster than a dog chasing him.

Actually, it's just moving in a funny way wrapped in a huge cloak.

While taking a hot spring bath in Chuyun Pavilion, Yan Muyun asked Lian Qiao to dry the cloak first, thinking of taking it apart and washing it when she got home, and then returning the cloak to Gu Yunting when she had the chance.

Even when he was packing his bag, he was still thinking about how to return the cloak.

She didn't know where to find Gu Yunting, and she had no connections with the women in the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion. It would be a big hassle for her to return the cloak smoothly.

But I didn't expect that the big trouble I thought was solved as soon as I went out. However, this trouble was solved, as if there was a breath hanging in my chest, which I couldn't exhale or swallow, and it felt very uncomfortable.

Yan Mujun was feeling awkward and uncomfortable here, but Gu Yunting actually took the initiative to speak.

"Do you need me to take Miss Yan back?"

Yan Mujun refused without even thinking, "No, we can just go back by ourselves."

Seeing that Gu Yunting didn't respond, she winked at Lian Qiao, and the master and servant turned around and continued walking forward.

After walking for a while and not noticing any movement behind them, the master and servant felt relieved.

"Miss, when did you get to know Mr. Gu?" Lian Qiao asked in a low voice.

Yan Muyun thought she was worried about herself, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, your young lady has saved the life of that Lord Gu, he shouldn't make things difficult for us."

"Miss, do you know which family he belongs to? Is he a legitimate son or a concubine's son? Is he married?" Lian Qiao felt that Gu Yunting did not look like an unmarried person at his age, and added: "If he is married, is the lady of the house easy to get along with?"

Yan Muyun paused, "Lian Qiao, what do you mean? Do you want me to marry that guy named Gu?"

"It's not that I'm thinking about it, but Lord Gu is an official and my lady's body has been seen by him. It would definitely be better for me to marry him than to marry someone else." Lian Qiao's brows were twisted into knots.

"What do you mean your daughter's body has been seen by others? I have been wearing clothes all the time, from head to toe, nothing is exposed, so why do I have to marry a man named Gu?"

Hearing Yan Mujun's firm denial, Lian Qiao thought that Gu Yunting was not a good man to entrust her life to, and she couldn't help feeling sad for her young lady.

Yesterday she personally helped the young lady undress and take a bath. The young lady was not exposed at all, but the water-soaked undergarment stuck to her body. What was the difference between that and being exposed?

Afraid that Yan Muyun would be affected by her emotions, the little girl sniffed and forced back the tears in her eyes, choking and saying, "Miss, if you say no, then there is no!"

The little maid looked so sad, as if her parents had died, that Yan Muyun began to feel uneasy.

In her previous life, she didn't think it was a big deal even if she appeared in a swimsuit, let alone having her body curves seen through her clothes. But the ancients were not as open-minded as she is!

She has seen most of Gu Yunting's body, and now Gu Yunting has also seen her. Could it be that he has already taken her for granted?

The master and servant each had their own thoughts and soon arrived at the entrance to the inner palace.

The guards at the gate stopped the two of them and said, "The palace gate will not be opened without a written order before noon. No one is allowed to set foot in the inner palace."

Yan Muyun bowed to the two of them and said, "We are the women of the Ministry of Personnel's residence. We are ordered by the eldest princess to stay at Chuyun Pavilion. We are now in a hurry to go back to the courtyard to dress up and attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I hope you two adults can be flexible."

One of the guards asked, "Young lady, do you have the princess's handwritten order?"

Perhaps because Yan Muyun had a good complexion, the guards' attitude was quite friendly.

She shook her head truthfully and reached out to take out some silver and money from her body, but all her hairpins, rings and silver were lost after she fell into the water yesterday, and she had no money at all.

As if seeing her intention, another older guard said, "Young lady, please go back to where you came from! Don't make things difficult for us servants. Without a written order, we can't open the palace gate to let you in."

They were all humble workers struggling to make a living, and Yan Muyun didn't want to make things too difficult for them.

But she didn't know whether the eldest princess would return to Izumo Pavilion. To be on the safe side, she absolutely could not go back.

If there is really no other choice, go back to the lake and hide for half an hour, and then go in when the inner palace gate is opened.

Just as he was about to turn around, Gu Yunting strode towards him from a distance.
