Wang Dedao gave a completely natural answer.

"Lord Sun, we've arrived. Please stay with Princess Chang Le in the Imperial Garden for a while. This old servant will come back at 7 PM to see you off as you leave the palace."

"What? Send me out of the palace at 7 PM? That'll be dark by then!"

"This...this is His Majesty's decree." Wang De timidly raised his eyes and glared at Sun Jian, offering a reminder.

Sun Jian was speechless once again.

In the end, I had no choice but to agree!

There are still two hours until Xu Shi (7-9 PM). Let's just wait it out...

Who can blame them when the other party is Princess Da Gan?

Sun Jian was unwilling, but upon closer reflection, he could actually accept it.

Princess Chang Le had exquisite features, fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, and a curvaceous figure, making her one in a million.

Dating a beautiful woman like that isn't so bad in a way.

Wouldn't it be a win to cultivate affection with the princess through flirting and teasing, while also building up your relationship with her through the system?

Of course, besides feeling sorry for his three wives.

As Sun Jian pondered this, a barely perceptible lewd smile crept onto his lips.

Holy crap!

Wait a minute, this Imperial Garden is so big, where am I supposed to find a princess?

By the time Sun Jian realized what was happening, he turned around and saw that Wang De had already turned and left.

With things having come to this, Sun Jian sighed and knew he could only search for it himself.

After walking only a few steps, Sun Jian encountered several small groups of palace maids.

Before meeting Sun Jian, they were all hurrying along with their heads down. When they saw Sun Jian, their expressions changed drastically, and they looked surprised and incredulous.

Sun Jian scratched the back of his head, looking bewildered, unable to understand why these palace maids would show such an expression whenever they saw him.

"May I ask where Princess Chang Le is?"

He didn't care about anything else and directly asked the palace maid.

After everyone was stunned for a moment, the leading palace maid stepped forward, first bowed to Sun Jian, and then pointed to the direction behind her and said, "My lord, go straight in this direction, and you will see a lake. Her Highness the princess is currently flying a kite on the lawn on the opposite shore of the lake."

Thank you!

Sun Jian didn't waste any words, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and quickly left.

The palace maids were left standing there, looking at each other and whispering amongst themselves.

When Sun Jian arrived at the lake the palace maid had mentioned, Princess Chang Le's kite had just fallen into the water, and her maids were trying to retrieve it from the riverbank.

Sun Jian stood behind her and did not see the kite. He only saw a palace maid squatting by the river with her body leaning forward. He thought she was about to jump into the river. He immediately thought of those tragic palace dramas from his previous life and shouted to stop her.

"Holy crap, no way!"

The palace maid hadn't originally intended to jump into the river, but his shout startled her, causing her to slip and fall into the river with a splash.

"Can't be persuaded??"

Sun Jian took a few steps forward, looking completely bewildered.

"Help...help me...ugh."

The palace maid kept drinking river water, her body rising and falling. She flailed her limbs in panic, calling out for help to Sun Jian, who was standing on the riverbank.

"Holy crap! You finally know to call for help?"

"Who told you to jump into the river?"

Sun Jian looked disdainful, and although he said that, he couldn't really just stand by and watch someone die.

Sun Jian began quickly searching around for something resembling a tree branch.

He himself is a terrible swimmer, and if he jumps into a flooded area, he'll likely lose his life.

Watching the palace maid vomit as she drank water, Sun Jian was anxious but also helpless.

There are no tree branches around here, not even any trees, just river water and grass.

The only thing there was was a kite floating on the river.

"Holy crap! A kite?"

Was she going to jump into the river?

Could it be that you want to lie down by the river to retrieve a kite?

Sun Jian was speechless for a moment.

Who would have thought that after all that, it turned out to be such a misunderstanding? It turns out that the other person jumping into the river was entirely related to him.

Damn it, the worst part was that I had my back to her at the time, so who knew if she was going to pick up a kite or jump into the river!

Although Sun Jian cursed inwardly, his body did not stop moving.

He first used his feet to retrieve the long kite, then used the kite as a branch for the drowning palace maid to grab onto.

The drowning palace maid, after grabbing the kite, was clearly already somewhat disoriented.

Just as her hand was about to slip away, fortunately, the distance was enough. Sun Jian reacted quickly, grabbed her collar, and pulled hard, making a "snap" sound.

Although the palace maid's skirt was torn, fortunately she was pulled ashore!

Her skirt was torn beyond recognition, and after being soaked in water, the palace maid's body was exposed. Her right arm was bare, and a large expanse of snow-white skin was exposed on her chest, with the full view of her breasts being hazy and indistinct.

Although this palace maid was not particularly beautiful, she did have a good figure.

Normally, Sun Jian would insist on seeing the sights first, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about that. His immediate priority was to save lives.

Little did they know that at this moment, a large number of people, including those behind Sun Jian, had already surged onto the other side of the river.

Most of these people were palace maids and eunuchs, and there were even one or two of the emperor's concubines. Princess Chang Le, Li Ganrou, was also among them.

They were all drawn over by Sun Jian's shouts and the sound of palace maids falling into the water.

It was very rare to find a non-eunuch male in the Imperial Garden.

After all, this was the emperor's inner palace, and few men dared to risk their lives to venture here.

These people didn't come forward; they just watched Sun Jian from a distance...

Sun Jian was unaware that so many eyes were once again focused on him.

He first checked the palace maid's breathing and pulse, and then, relying on the first aid knowledge he had learned in his previous life, Sun Jian began to perform chest compressions on the palace maid.

After pressing for a while, Sun Jian realized it wasn't working, so he lay down on the ground and started performing artificial respiration.

Everyone was shocked and frightened when they saw Sun Jian's appearance and actions.

None of them could believe that, in broad daylight, someone would not only dare to break into the Imperial Garden of the inner palace, but also dare to commit such a beastly act against the palace maids in front of everyone on such an open riverbank!

"You lecher! Shut your mouth!"

Princess Chang Le was closest, so she quickly walked up behind Sun Jian and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Sun Jian had just finished blowing on the palace maid's mouth when he heard the sound behind him and quickly turned around to check.

They were both startled when they saw it.

"Sun Jian??"

"Princess Chang Le?"

The two of them froze on the spot for a moment, their expressions very complicated.

"you!!!"

Princess Chang Le, Li Ganrou, pointed her jade finger at Sun Jian, her face contorted with rage. She had never imagined that Sun Jian would be such a frivolous and audacious scoundrel!

"??"

Seeing Li Ganrou's reaction, Sun Jian was filled with questions and looked completely bewildered.

Perhaps it was the influence of his memories from his past life that prevented him from reacting immediately.

Then, when Sun Jian saw that he was surrounded by people, all looking at him with contempt, hatred, and disgust, he was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky!

Holy crap! Something's wrong!
