A child's voice rang out: "Uncle, you're great at swimming!"
"Help, help me..."
A man's voice calling for help.
In this palace, the only child presently is Eryue. Who is he calling uncle?
Who is swimming in Cuiwei Lake?
Liu Mianmian, worried about Eryue, couldn't bother with her unkempt appearance. She circled around the rock formation and saw a strange child, about three or four years old, standing on the stone by the lakeside, clapping his hands and laughing gleefully.
Meanwhile, at the center of the lake, there was a man struggling in the water. His face was unclear, but judging by his struggling actions, he appeared to be drowning.
The man spotted Liu Mianmian, as if he'd seen a savior. Struggling to raise his head above water, he gasped: "Gu, Gu, save, save me!"
The two were none other than Lu Xinghe and Mingming.
Lu Xinghe had taken leave and indeed picked up Mingming along the way.
