Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Only when the servants in the outer courtyard had eaten and drunk well and were almost asleep waiting for their master, and until Bai Zhi could hardly keep her eyes open from looking at the moon, did Gu Yan stagger out of the inner room. He reeked of alcohol and shouted incoherently, "Madam...where is my madam..."

Behind them came the scattered laughter of Marquis Xuanping: "Third... Third brother! Isn't your third brother's wife... right here..."

Gu Yan's eyes suddenly fixed on Bai Zhi, and then he took a few steps and hugged her: "Husband...!"

Bai Zhi was very flattering and acted like a caring wife: "Oh, husband, why did you drink so much?"

Gu Yan buried his head in Bai Zhi's shoulder and rubbed it back and forth, whispering in her ear: "Take me back to Yishui Garden."

The black hair on Bai Zhi's neck was itchy. She pushed Gu Yan's head to the side, stood up and propped him up: "Qiaoqiao! Mingxin! Take the third master back to the house!"

Qiaoqiao and Mingxin hurried over to take over the unsteady Gu Yan. Baizhi turned around and said a few polite words to Marquis Xuanping, asking him not to blame him for being drunk and out of control, and then hurried back to Yishuiyuan.

After putting the drunk Gu Yan on the bed, Bai Zhi sent Qiaoqiao and Mingxin out. She bolted the door, turned around and approached Gu Yan, who had his eyes closed, and said with her arms folded, "You only look drunk but don't blush. You need to improve on this aspect."

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear, and he didn't look like a drunkard at all. He turned his head and looked at Bai Zhi and said with a smile, "When the Gu brothers are drunk, their faces are only white, not red. Isn't my fake face just right?"

"You drank a lot, didn't you? Are you really not drunk or are you just pretending not to be drunk?"

"I took a pill that Zhiheng gave me beforehand to help me get rid of alcohol," Gu Yan said. "If I were really drunk and said something I shouldn't, that would be terrible."

"Then don't ask Chef Xu to make you a hangover soup." Bai Zhi pulled a stool and sat in front of the bed. "Speaking of masks, can you lend me the disguise technique you have?"

Gu Yan blinked, stood up and looked at her: "What are you going to do?"

"I want to disguise myself as Ge Zhen and do something to my robe." Bai Zhi said, "Let me ask if the disguise is feasible first."

Gu Yan: "It's feasible. When are you going to start?"

"After thinking it over, I decided not to steal the robe from the treasury. Since this robe is so important, Ge Zhen will definitely be on guard a few days before the birthday banquet and will check it carefully before taking it. This way, Ge Zhen will be the most lax on the way from the treasury to the birthday banquet, and I won't have to steal the key." Bai Zhi said, "I plan to take action on the day of the birthday banquet."

"I will repair the book right now."

Bai Zhi looked at Gu Yan with great satisfaction as he went to the desk to write a letter.

Gu Yan sealed the letter, opened the window, called out "Changfeng", and handed the letter out.

Bai Zhi held up her chin and watched Chang Feng disappear in a flash. Suddenly she asked, "Gu Yan, can the martial arts you always practice be passed on to others?"

Gu Yan: "I learned martial arts from Changfeng. He has combined the strengths of many schools. He doesn't have many teachers, so he can pass on his skills to others. Do you want to learn?"

"If you want to learn, wait until my hand is healed and teach me martial arts." Bai Zhi joked, "Do I need to kneel three times and kowtow nine times to become your disciple?"

"When you have mastered it, it won't be too late to kneel and kowtow nine times." Gu Yan smiled, "Why did you think of learning martial arts?"

Bai Zhi spread her hands and said, "It's good to have many skills. Who would think they are not capable enough?"

Gu Yan nodded, agreeing with her statement.

It was already very late at night. Bai Zhi finished what she needed to say, relaxed for a moment, and yawned: "I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep."

"it is good."

Bai Zhi cleaned herself up hastily and dove into bed. Half an incense stick later, she was still half asleep, listening to Gu Yan rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something.

She pried open her eyelids, half-raised her body and asked Gu Yan: "What are you looking for?"

"The tranquilizing incense...is all used up." Gu Yan's voice was unusually stagnant. "I've been busy these past few days and forgot to ask Zhi Heng for more."

Ah, it’s the calming incense that Gu Yan lights every night.

"The quilt must have been scented by the smoke..." Bai Zhi pulled up the quilt and smelled it. Only the scent of cotton that had been exposed to the sun was left on it.

...By the way, Qiaoqiao took the quilt out to dry today.

Bai Zhi had a row of clothes hanging on the hanger next to the screen. She hung all the washed clothes on the hanger, since she only had a few clothes, so it was easier to carry them this way.

Bai Zhi stood up and walked to the clothes rack in her slippers to smell her coat. Then she said with some difficulty, "My clothes have a soothing scent... How about you put them next to your pillow for the night?"

Gu Yan looked at his tightly closed boxes of clothes, and unwillingly pulled up the collar to smell it, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Hmm... OK."

The atmosphere was somewhat strange. Bai Zhi picked out a piece of clothing with the strongest herbal scent and handed it to him, pretending to be joking, "Luckily I never collect clothing, otherwise you would have to sleep in the herbal medicine shop tonight."

Gu Yan laughed a few times and reached out to take the clothes.

Bai Zhi dived back into the bed again.

After the sounds of people undressing and making the bed, the oil lamp was blown out.

After all this, Bai Zhi was no longer sleepy. Everything in front of her was pitch black, and her hearing and sense of smell suddenly became sharper. She could even hear Gu Yan quietly lying down in the bed, turning over twice in a short period of time, and his breathing trembled.

A very subtle soothing aroma drifted into Bai Zhi's nose along with the breeze brought by Gu Yan's movements. She felt a little guilty for no reason and slightly turned her body to the other side to avoid the aroma.

Bai Zhi only dared to turn over carefully because the room was too quiet.

She didn't know how long she was frozen in place, until Bai Zhi's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and she could see the outline of the quilt in the faint moonlight, then she very slowly turned over again.

Bai Zhi saw Gu Yan holding her clothes in his arms, half of his face buried in it, sleeping soundly. She swallowed and quickly closed her eyes.

Damn it, I'm panicking!

I must ask him to get some calming incense tomorrow. Now, sleep!

Bai Zhi had been dreaming for half the night. In the dream, she had just basked in the sun outside and when she returned to the room, she found that Gu Yan had built a nest with her few clothes. He was about to lie down in it, but when he saw Bai Zhi coming, he took off her coat and added another one to the nest... Bai Zhi was so scared that she opened her eyes.

Before dawn.

Bai Zhi was still in shock, and habitually glanced at the mat next to her. This glance gave her another fright.

——Gu Yan was half lying on the bed, his sleeping face only a palm’s distance from Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi didn't dare to move at all. After a while, she moved aside like a legless insect, lying in a cricket pupa.

This made her realize that her quilt was being pressed down by Gu Yan, and she pulled Gu Yan's upper body a little further inward.

Bai Zhi cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", but it was too late. The next moment, Gu Yan opened his eyes.
