Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Seeing Yun Ji's serious expression, Nan Yingzhi also became serious.

She gently let go of Yun Ji's hand, lowered her eyes, and met his gaze: "You say."

Nan Yingzhi's expression was gentle, as clear as pond water. Yun Ji was like a traveler who accidentally fell in and couldn't climb out, and for a moment he forgot what he was going to say.

Fearing that Nan Yingzhi might be anxious, Yun Ji looked away with difficulty, calmed his mind, and then moved his gaze back to the tip of Nan Yingzhi's nose: "When did you learn to swim?"

Duck water?

The topic jumped from Guishui to Fushui, and Nan Yingzhi didn't react for a moment. Why was Yun Ji talking about Fushui?

After not hearing Nan Yingzhi speak for a while, Yun Ji quietly moved his eyes upwards and took in Nan Yingzhi's confusion.

Seeing Nan Yingzhi's confused expression, Yun Ji reminded her, "Last time, I was pushed into the lake and you jumped into the water to save me. You... don't remember?"

Speaking of falling into the water, Nan Yingzhi certainly could not forget it. The water was freezing at that time, and even though she had experienced winter swimming, she was shivering with cold.

The memory of diving into the water to save Yun Ji came back to her mind, and Nan Yingzhi nodded: "That's what happened."

As she nodded, Nan Yingzhi was startled.

It had been a while since this happened, and if Yun Ji hadn't mentioned it specifically, she would have almost forgotten about it.

But what is strange is why Yun Ji didn't ask when he was rescued, nor when he met her last night, but asked now?

She clearly didn't say anything about swimming, so why would Yun Ji think in this way?

Nan Yingzhi's mind worked quickly, piecing together the existing clues, following the clues, and quickly looking for the reason why Yun Ji said this.

The scene in which Nan Yi asked her meaningfully in the carriage, "Do you have any feelings for 'Xiao Zhizi'?" suddenly came to her mind.

"Your father," Yun Ji mentioned Nan Yi as if he accidentally thought of the same thing. He chose his words carefully, "seems he didn't know that you can swim."

After hearing this, Nan Yingzhi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Nan Yi thanked her for saving his daughter last time. It turned out that he had consulted Yun Ji.

After all, Nan Yi is her nominal father. He should know whether she can swim or not... right?

Facing Yun Ji's questioning, Nan Yingzhi quickly thought of an excuse.

As a father who is away from home all year round, how does Nan Yi know whether his daughter can swim?

Nan Yingzhi lied without blushing or beating her heart: "I have practiced it before, but my father happened to be away, so he didn't know about it."

As if he wanted to see if Nan Yingzhi was lying, Yun Ji slowly met her gaze and said, "It seems that Lan Fu doesn't know that you can swim."

Nan Yingzhi felt something was wrong. Between the lines, she was busy clarifying that Nan Yi didn't know about this, but inadvertently ignored Lan Fu, her personal maid.

Not wanting to reveal that she did not belong to this world, Nan Yingzhi insisted with a far-fetched excuse: "I avoided Lan Fu and practiced on my own."

Seeing the deeper suspicion in Yun Ji's eyes, Nan Yingzhi felt regretful and thought that she had made a bad move in the game with Yun Ji.

Which young lady in ancient times would send all the servants away and sneak into the lake to learn how to swim?

The words had been spoken and it was too late to regret. While the two of them were silent, Nan Yingzhi couldn't help but have an idea in her mind.

If she had known that Nan Yi's visit to the palace would have such serious consequences, she should not have allowed the two of them to meet when Nan Yi asked to enter the harem.

Now, Yun Ji suspects her, how should she explain?

She excused herself by saying that she learned the swimming posture from a book and that she was a genius, so she could swim as soon as she got into the water and could easily rescue people to shore?

Or should I just admit that I am not the original "Nan Yingzhi" but the "Nan Yingzhi" who has the same name as her, accidentally traveled from the modern era, and took swimming classes?

Thinking of swimming, Nan Yingzhi's mind turned and another idea came to her mind.

In fact, everything started when she jumped into the water to save Yun Ji.

Maybe she shouldn't have jumped into the water to save Yun Ji at that time.

Even though Yun Ji was already barely holding on at that time, there were guards surrounding him. If any of them went down to rescue him, wouldn't it be better for her to go down?

The two were silent for a long time, and Yun Ji was the first to speak to break the silence: "Are you still the 'Nan Yingzhi' that Lan Fu knew? If not, who are you?"

The question was too sharp and Nan Yingzhi was unable to respond.

How did the topic get dragged into the matter of possession?

Although she did seize Nan Yingzhi's house, Yun Ji's kindness to her was probably related to his good relationship with Nan Yi and his care for his brother's daughter.

After her denial, will Yun Ji still cooperate with her and reveal his own forces?

Feeling that if she didn’t say anything, she would be even more suspected, Nan Yingzhi subconsciously spoke, trying to make up something: “I…”

"Nan Yingzhi," Yun Ji understood something after a short silence. His eyelashes trembled and his voice was very soft. "Is your last name Nan and your given name Yingzhi? Or do you have your own name?"

It just so happens that she has the same name as this "Nan Yingzhi", and inexplicably feels that Yun Ji's tone is full of sadness. Nan Yingzhi's tone is a little anxious: "My name is indeed 'Nan Yingzhi'."

From the fact that Nan Yingzhi was silent at first but then spoke in an anxious tone, Yun Ji keenly realized that she was indeed not the "Nan Yingzhi" that Lan Fu and Nan Yi knew.

No wonder, there is no spoiled lady who can be so considerate, like a pool of magical water that sucks people in.

Feeling that he was not disappointed but excited, Yun Ji pinched the inside of his arm and tried to keep his tone calm: "Where are you from?"

"I," Nan Yingzhi stammered, not knowing how to describe modern society, "Well, uh..."

In fact, Yun Ji didn't want to dig into the matter. He just wanted to confirm that Nan Yingzhi didn't belong here. More urgently, he wanted to know more about the real Nan Yingzhi.

Feeling that if he continued to force her, Nan Yingzhi would lie to him, Yun Ji gave Nan Yingzhi a way out: "If you don't want to tell the truth, you can choose to remain silent. I don't want to see you racking your brains to think of lies."

After a long silence, Nan Yingzhi gave in. Her voice was hoarse: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I just felt that the time had not come yet. When the time came, I would tell you."

Unexpectedly, he could get the truth from Nan Yingzhi. Yun Ji's eyes lit up again: "When?"

Feeling that Yun Ji's eyes were a little dazzling, Nan Yingzhi subconsciously stretched out her hand to block him: "When we can have a normal relationship and don't have to meet secretly."

She stretched her hand into the air, ready to cover Yun Ji's eyes, but then turned around and stroked his temples: "Thank you for not asking any more questions."

Being teased by Nan Yingzhi again, Yun Ji's ears turned red and he closed his eyes shyly. The words he was about to say instantly turned into floating clouds and evaporated from his mind.

The atmosphere went from tense to relaxed. Nan Yingzhi thought for a while and suddenly found something suspicious.

Why did the two people who had contact with Yun Ji, Nan Yi and Jin An, both insist that they were in a relationship?

Nan Yingzhi coughed lightly and asked Yunji faintly: "Come to think of it, Jin'an just wished us a 'happy marriage'? Why? We..."

She wanted to say, "Aren't we just ordinary friends?", but felt that this was not appropriate. She was stunned for a moment and finally stopped talking.

"We," Yun Ji's eyes sparkled again when he caught Nan Yingzhi's hesitation, like a flame swaying in the breeze, ready to blow Nan Yingzhi's words out at any time, "What?"
