Yan Xikun was caught off guard and didnt expect Jia Lixian to make such a move, actually daring to push her into the lake. Her body lost control and leaned forward, falling into the water with a loud "splash", splashing up a huge wave.

  The icy lake water instantly enveloped her, flooding every inch of her skin, devouring her nerves, her mind a complete blank, yet she clearly felt the chill coursing through her body as if she were about to die.

  She didnt know how to swim, and after falling into the lake, she gradually began to sink to the bottom. Although her limbs were frozen stiff, she didnt want to die like this. With all her might, she flailed her arms and legs, struggling and churning in the water.

  "You vicious woman, you actually pushed Miss Yan into the lake. Just wait for the empress to punish you!" Xue Lian glared at Jia Li Fen in anger, what had just happened was too sudden, so sudden that she didnt have time to react and save her. Watching Miss Yan struggle desperately in the water, her heart suddenly became entangled.

  She wanted to jump down recklessly, but she couldnt swim, and was very hesitant. Suddenly, she saw a few people coming from afar, and with her sharp eyes, she caught sight of a bright yellow figure, and her heart suddenly filled with joy - Miss Yan was saved.

  "Oh no, someone come quick, Miss Yan has fallen into the water!" Xue Lian suddenly shouted loudly towards the corridor, her cries immediately attracting many of the showgirls to rush over.

  When the beautiful women arrived at the lake dike with their maids, they saw Yan Xijun struggling in the water and began to discuss it in a flurry of voices, but no one went down to save her.

  "How did Miss Yan fall into the water?"

  "Come on, hurry up and save Miss Yan!"

  "You dog slaves, quickly go down and rescue people. If Miss Yan has an accident and dies, you will all be buried with her!"

  "The slave girls dont know how to swim!" Those maids knelt down with their heads bowed, terrified that they would be caught and forced to go into the lake to rescue someone. They werent fools, after all - the lake was so deep and the water was icy cold; who knows, if they went in, they might not even save anyone and instead lose their own lives.

  The scene was in chaos, Jia Lian led Lan Ye to take advantage of the chaos and slipped out, with a triumphant expression she glanced at Yan Xijun in the lake, smiled complacently, and was about to leave.

  A flash of bright yellow appeared in the distance, and her heart was slightly startled. She raised her eyes to take a look, and her face suddenly changed color. The triumphant smile still stiffened on her face, and Jia Lis charming eyes flashed with panic, exclaiming in surprise: "Your Majesty!"

  Lan Ye followed Jia Lians gaze and when she saw the approaching emperor, she was so frightened that she hastily hid behind Miss.

  How did the emperor end up here? How long has he been here? Did he see what just happened?

  Jia Lian and Lan Ye were both still in a state of shock, staring fixedly at the approaching people. At this moment, they were both panicked, fortunately, the emperor only gave them a indifferent glance before passing by.

  Chu Yixuan saw the group of women in disarray by the lake embankment from a distance and initially thought to ignore them, but upon hearing their cries for help, all shouting "Miss Yan", his heart stirred, and he led his entourage over.

  "Shut up, all of you! Miss Yan has a great fortune and a long life, she wont die!" Xue Lian gazed at these hypocritical women, feeling annoyed in her heart. She took another look at Yan Xi Jun who was struggling to breathe in the water, gritted her teeth, and prepared to jump in.

  At this time, all the sounds disappeared, and it was quiet. Xue Lians wrist was suddenly pulled by someone, she turned her head to look back, and saw that it was Yi Ling, who was wearing a green robe, he looked at her for a moment, didnt say a word, but pulled her behind him, then jumped into the lake.

  Yan Xijun struggled in the icy lake water for a moment, her whole body gradually getting wet, the chill spreading quickly from her limbs to her chest, flowing towards her heart, and her consciousness became increasingly blurred. She felt that this was heavens will, that she would lose her life in this lake today, so she gave up her desire to survive, allowing her body to slowly sink to the bottom of the lake.

  Suddenly, she heard the sound of water beside her getting louder, clearly someone was wading over. She didnt even bother to open her eyes to take a look. Then, someone wrapped their arms around her waist and pulled her towards the lake surface.

  Yan Xijuns eyes widened in surprise, and when she looked up, she saw a handsome face with distinct features staring back at her. It was him, and he was also looking at her. She exclaimed awkwardly: "Commander Yi Ling!"

  Yi Ling asked indifferently, "How are you?" That night when he caught the assassin, he had seen her in Chuxiu Palace and knew she was one of the selected imperial concubines, the emperors woman, so he didnt dare to show too much concern for Yu Ruo.

  "Ah... Ah-choo! Still... okay..., thank you!" The cold wind blew by, and Yan Xijuns body shuddered. A sudden sneeze burst out of her. She suddenly felt that the surroundings were too quiet, eerily still, and when she looked up, her eyes widened in shock.

  The dam was surrounded by beautiful women, among whom a bright yellow robe with double dragons playing with pearls stood out particularly, and the owner of the yellow robe was even more impossible to ignore.

  "Brother-in-law!" was the first thought that flashed through Yan Xikuns mind. How did he end up here? His body suddenly felt lighter, and he was carried ashore by Yi Ling.
