Chapter 821 Imposter
Lin Yuesha was startled. Could it be that someone even more important than Xu Da had captured Qi Heng?
She pulled Yunluo out of the main kitchen, found a corner, and cautiously said, "Did you see something? You can't just say things like that."
"I know, I only told you."
Yunlu didn't want to say that she had been stuck in the inner courtyard for an hour and almost froze to death.
To avoid being searched, Yunlu dug a hole in the snow and hid inside.
"Who is that? Could it be the army commander?"
Lin Yuesha didn't quite believe that Qi Heng had been captured. She thought Helian Cheng wouldn't be a match for Qi Heng, nor would Blue Eyes.
"It's a woman named Lin Yuesha. She's the newlywed wife of the Great Qi commander-in-chief. I heard she's extremely pampered and has been coveted for a long time."
Yunluo originally intended to enter the backyard and find a way to meet the nobleman and offer herself to him, but she did not see the nobleman. Instead, she saw Helian Cheng capture a beautiful woman and address her as Madam Qi.
Lin Yuesha, the young mistress of Qi, has been arrested?
Lin Yuesha was embarrassed. She was free, how could she possibly be arrested!
Thinking of the imposter Wuya, Lin Yuesha immediately understood that someone was using her identity to impersonate someone else, and it was probably Helian Cheng's idea.
Having an imposter would have many advantages, no wonder they sent someone to assassinate her.
Lin Yuesha remained expressionless, but she still had to thank the mask. In her heart, she wished she could tear Helian Cheng, who had given her the bad idea, to pieces so that she wouldn't get the chance.
So, Lin Yuesha could only wish Helian Cheng good luck.
The two returned to the shared rest room in Yunzhao Pavilion, where Yunxiang had already returned.
Upon seeing Yun Luo, everyone immediately rebuked her, "Yun Luo, do you know how worried we were?"
"Exactly! You make an excuse to go out and don't come back for more than an hour. We all thought you'd been chosen by a nobleman and taken as his bedmate!"
Some people were sarcastic, while others worried about being implicated; everyone had their own thoughts.
"Alright, it's good that he's back."
Yunxiang sneezed, and Yunluo quickly took out a food box to appease her, "I knew you were coming to find me, so I specially went to the main kitchen to get you a bowl of ginger tea."
Lin Yuesha didn't care that Yun Luo had taken all the credit; she was thinking about Helian Cheng's next move.
Is the purpose of creating a fake Lin Yuesha to extract information from Xu Da, or to deceive Lan Yanzhu? In any case, no matter who she's with, she might fool them for a while, but she'll probably be exposed soon.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon of the inner courtyard, Xu Da was happily eating sour soup chicken giblet noodles.
After eating most of the bowl, he suddenly felt something enter his mouth. He spat it out and saw that it was a red stone.
Xu Da hid the stone under the straw, knowing exactly what he was doing.
His cousin must have been worried about him, so she found a way to come in. Actually, he originally thought that the sour soup chicken giblets would be his last dinner. No wonder it was so delicious; it turned out to be Lin Yuesha's cooking!
Xu Da was so excited that his hands trembled. He ate his first full meal since being captured and sat down to rest contentedly in a chair.
"Clang!"
The sound of iron chains opening the door filled the dark, cold dungeon, where no light shone through. Palm oil lamps hung on the walls, and someone came down.
"What are you doing? You've eaten your fill and you're not letting people sleep? Can't you torture them later tonight?"
Xu Da was covered in blood and gore, his clothes stuck to his body; he was in a terrible state.
"cousin!"
Someone was being brought down bound. Xu Da recognized the voice and immediately opened his eyes to look.
"Moonlight Veil?"
Xu Da paused, thinking, "They were just cooking and putting stones in the pot, and they got caught so quickly? They were exposed way too fast."
"Cousin, I'm coming in too."
Miaoyin imitated Lin Yuesha, but Xu Da didn't notice anything amiss. He didn't know that the alien race had masters of disguise, and he only felt that something was slightly off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
How did you get arrested?
Fearing that others might be implicated, Xu Da didn't ask for too much detail. He thought to himself that with Lin Yuesha coming in, they were now in the same boat, and his hopes for making chicken giblet noodles were dashed.
Helian Cheng doesn't like women, so Lin Yuesha is safe. If his wife is taken away, that scoundrel Qi Heng will definitely retaliate.
"It's a long story."
The more she said, the more mistakes she made. Miaoyin sighed and was imprisoned in the dungeon next to Xu Da's.
Helian Cheng did this so that Miaoyin could impersonate Lin Yuesha and extract the military deployment map of Daqi, which was only known to Xu Da and a few others.
He has already used the hidden spies several times, and with such close contact, he could easily be discovered.
The nail only works at the most crucial moment, so Helian Cheng decided to start with Xu Da. However, after torturing Xu Da for several days, the boy still refused to talk.
If the two weren't adversaries, Helian Cheng would have admired Xu Da and wanted to keep him in his residence.
"Cousin, Helian Cheng has tormented you to this extent!"
Miaoyin appeared indignant, but Xu Da just smiled and said nonchalantly, "That's all the tricks they have, they can't come up with anything else."
Helian Cheng wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to exchange for benefits, and Xu Da knew this perfectly well, so the other party would not kill him, but would torture him repeatedly.
The damage isn't significant; you won't die anyway, but the process is extremely disgusting.
"I also want to eat spicy and sour chicken giblets."
Xu Da sighed. Life was too miserable. He didn't realize that chicken giblets were so delicious. He wanted to have them for a second time.
If you make a dry pot of chicken giblets with lots of chili peppers, it will definitely be a great dish to eat with rice.
"Cousin, that's offal, even dogs wouldn't eat that stuff. They're treating you so badly!"
Miaoyin followed Xu Da's lead, promptly showing her heartache. She thought she had nothing to hide, but it was this sentence that aroused Xu Da's suspicion.
That red stone was a gift he gave to Lin Yuesha. Because everyone conspired to trick Lin Yuesha into marrying Qi Heng, he didn't give her anything too nice. He planned to give her a more substantial gift when they got married in the capital.
He found the red stone; in the water-scarce Northwest, finding such a stone in the river was quite an effort on his part.
Lin Yuesha showed her disdain, but carefully put it in her purse.
Others may not understand, but the two are closer than siblings. Especially since Lin Yuesha has no brother, her so-called stepbrother is actually a cunning wolf. Xu Da has no younger sister, so he treats Lin Yuesha like his own sister.
Lin Yuesha has never been picky about ingredients. She once said that there is only the ability to cook and the inability to cook.
The person in front of me is strange. Could it be Lin Yuesha? I've never heard of Lin Yuesha having a twin sister. She's older than Lin Yue'e, and they don't look alike at all.
"Cousin, why aren't you saying anything?"
Miaoyin, unaware that she was on the verge of being exposed, pressed for an answer.
"This is the best meal I've ever had."
Xu Da was implying something, but Miao Yin couldn't understand the meaning behind his words and could only remain silent.
"Find joy in hardship. Chicken giblets are quite delicious. For the soldiers of my Great Qi, it's even harder to get a bite of meat."
After Xu Da finished speaking, he sighed deeply. If the person in front of him wasn't Lin Yuesha, then who was it?
