Sitting at the table in the room was a man in a black brocade robe.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for failing to kill General Zhao.
But he was injured and fainted, and at the same time his maid was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff. General Zhao was very sad and even wanted to jump off the cliff after her, but was stopped by his secret guards.
The man in black whispered what had just happened.
The man known as the Prince raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Oh? General Zhao really has deep feelings for this maid.
What's the maid's name?"
"Your Highness, it seems her name is Chunhua."
"Chunhua? I remember that the wife of the Minister of Justice also came to the temple today. Go and tell her that General Zhao's maid named Chunhua fell off a cliff."
"yes."
The man in black agreed and left. He held the cup in his long, slender hands and chuckled softly.
.......
Ying Xixi didn't expect that she was so weak. She was kicked off the cliff by an arrow and a stone.
When she fell, fortunately the system threw out a prop in time to drag her, preventing her from freely falling to the bottom of the cliff.
"System, do these two items cost points?"
Ying Xixi didn't forget to ask.
The shield and other things look very high-end, so they must be very expensive.
[Host, rest assured, this is a life-saving tool. Just like the child-bearing tool, it's free.]
Ying Xixi was quite surprised. "Free? When did your system become so generous?"
【.......】
[Oh no! The shield is about to fail!]
Host, please be patient for two seconds, and the system will immediately replace your shield! 】
As soon as the system finished speaking, the shield failed and Ying Xixi immediately felt a piercing pain!
Even if it was just two seconds, it was enough to make her faint from the pain.
.......
Ying Xixi woke up again and found herself lying prone.
She remembered that she fell off the cliff. Where is she now?
"Miss, you are finally awake! I will go and ask Madam to come over!"
A strange voice came from her ears. Ying Xixi turned her head and saw only the figure of a maid leaving.
Miss?
Is this the name she is calling?
Could it be that she has moved to a new dimension?
"System, what's going on now?"
Ying Xixi called out to the system in her heart, but the system showed that it was in hibernation.
"Xixi, you finally woke up!"
A familiar voice came from far away, and Ying Xixi was surprised to find that the other party was actually the wife of the Minister of Justice!
By the way, Mrs. Yang mentioned before that she would also go to Yuantong Temple to burn incense on the first day of the new year.
"Mrs. Yang, did you save me?"
Ying Xixi asked and wanted to get up.
Yang Lin quickly stepped forward and held her down, "Xixi, you're injured, you can't move now, otherwise the wound will burst.
Xixi, do you remember what happened before you fell into a coma? "
Ying Xixi slightly turned her body to face Yang Linshi, "I remember, I remember that the general and I went to Yuantong Temple together, but some assassins showed up and wanted to kill the general. The general protected me all the way, and we ended up at the edge of a cliff.
An assassin shot an arrow at the general. Seeing that the general had no way to dodge, I used my body to block the arrow for him.
Later, the general, probably worried that I would lose too much blood, temporarily placed me on the ground, but then another assassin attacked and I fell off the cliff."
"Xixi, that day I heard someone at Yuantong Temple say that the general's maid named Chunhua was injured and fell off a cliff. I immediately sent guards to look for you at the bottom of the cliff.
At that time, there were only the bodies of assassins on the ground on the cliff.
Fortunately, you were lucky and did not fall to the bottom of the cliff, but instead hung on an overhanging branch below.
This is how I can save you. You have been in a coma for three days, and today is the fourth day.
Your injury is quite serious. The arrow hit you right next to your heart. If it had deviated a little, it would have penetrated your heart."
As Madam Yang spoke, her eyes turned red, filled with heartache for Ying Xixi.
"I've been in a coma for three days?"
Ying Xixi was surprised. "Madam, do you have any news from the general?"
Yang Lin's eyes flashed, "I heard that General Zhao was also injured. The news that he went to the temple to burn incense and was assassinated spread throughout the capital.
Moreover, the general's mansion released the news that the general's maid died at the bottom of the cliff while protecting her master.
Xixi, your identity as General Zhao's maid, Chunhua, is dead and no longer exists.
Even if you wanted to go back, you probably couldn’t.”
Ying Xixi opened her mouth, "............"
In just three days, she died.
"Then, before you, Madam Yang, sent someone to rescue me, didn't the general send someone to rescue me from the cliff?"
“General Zhao may have sent someone, but it’s hard to say.
Because when I rushed over with the guards, General Zhao was no longer there, and you were still hanging on a branch in the middle of the cliff.
Even though the General's Office hadn't found your body, they still announced that you were dead."
Yang Lin's words made Ying Xixi's heart sink to the bottom.
Did Zhao Yuxiao really not ask anyone to rescue her?
And she said that Zhao Yuxiao didn't want to save her?
But he always protected her when the assassin came...
Yang Lin looked at Ying Xixi's lost expression, and heartache appeared in her eyes, but she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her eyes became firm.
"Xixi, you should have a good rest. The doctor said your injury is very serious and it will take at least one or two months to fully recover."
"Madam, it's not appropriate for me to stay in your house for so long. I'd better leave."
Ying Xixi curled the corners of her mouth. She still wanted to go back to the general's mansion to take a look.
"Xixi, this is your home, you can stay here. When your injury is healed, I will hold a family reunion banquet for you."
Yang Lin's words made Ying Xixi's head buzz, she was really confused.
What the hell?
"Ma'am, what you mean is..."
"Xixi, you are not the biological daughter of the Ying family. In fact, you are my daughter who has been lost for many years."
Yang Lin looked at Ying Xixi with tears in her eyes and finally said this.
Ying Xixi: “???”
“........”
No, no one told her that there was something wrong with the original owner’s background!
As Yang Lin spoke slowly, Ying Xixi finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that Ying's mother was a trusted maidservant of one of the concubines of the Minister of Justice.
The concubine had fought fiercely with Yang Linshi in the past. Seeing that Yang Linshi was still favored by the Minister of Justice even after giving birth to a daughter, she asked her trusted maid to find an opportunity to abandon the baby girl.
At that time, Ying's mother had already been in contact with Ying's father, a servant in the mansion.
After the two of them discussed it, they simply ran away with the baby girl.
Because they felt that sooner or later Ying's mother's act of abandoning her legitimate daughter would be discovered, and sooner or later they would be executed.
It’s better to run away than to be executed.
