The moonlight was like water, like a light veil.
General's Mansion.
In the main room of Qingfeng Pavilion, Xie Lingqin was drinking chicken soup.
“Miss, the ingredients in this chicken soup are much richer than yesterday’s.” Zihe stood to the side, watching Xie Lingqin finish the bowl of chicken soup, and said softly.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, seemingly a little resentful, "Then why didn't you add more good medicinal herbs?"
Zihe...
"This is too much, and I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it, Miss."
"No, I won't be able to handle it if it's not nourishing enough." Xie Lingqin touched her face as she spoke.
She has a classic oval face, cherry lips and a delicate nose, starry eyes like water, and thick black eyelashes that resemble a landscape painting, covering a pool of exquisitely beautiful spring water.
It is a truly beautiful and elegant color.
However, she was too thin. Her skin looked like white jade, but it was dry to the touch.
It's due to a lack of nutrition.
Especially those breasts, oh my!
Although she is cold and aloof, she still cares a bit about her figure. After all, while she believes in the supremacy of ability, sometimes beauty can also improve efficiency.
Of course, right now she needs to heal all her injuries as soon as possible and train her body properly. Otherwise, she might be able to survive in the General's Mansion with her brains, but what about outside of it?
As long as she clings to that secret, and as long as the supreme ruler of the country doesn't clearly express his thoughts, she won't have any peace of mind.
In the stillness of the night, Xie Lingqin was dreaming again.
"Today, you gouged out my eyes, ripped out my skin, shattered my bones, and destroyed my soul. One day, I will become a vengeful ghost, haunting you for three lifetimes and disturbing your peace..."
Then, the sword rose, and blood splattered everywhere, a horrifying sight. The shadows blurred, obscuring the speaker and everything around. All that remained was a chilling crimson stain that seeped into one's very bones, running down the hands, the feet, the steps, gnawing at the heart, winding its way for three thousand feet...
Xie Lingqin suddenly woke up with a start, raised her hand to touch her forehead, and found it covered in cold sweat.
How long has it been since she last dreamed? In her past life, she had taken so many lives with a swift stroke of her knife, yet she never dreamed of it. But since she transmigrated here, only a few days have passed, and she has dreamed of this scene several times.
What the hell is going on?!
She was absolutely certain that these were not the original owner's memories, because the original owner had never experienced them either. Yet, they felt so real, as if she were actually there.
She raised her hand to her chest, and her heart was pounding wildly.
"Miss, is there anything you need?" Zihe's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Xie Lingqin immediately looked at the figure reflected on the door. Although she had just woken up, her movements were not large, yet Zihe had sensed it, which showed that her internal strength was quite good.
"It's nothing. As Xie Danling said, I had a silly dream." Xie Lingqin finished speaking, got up and walked to the table, picked up the kettle, and drank the still lukewarm tea in one gulp.
She must remain absolutely clear-headed at all times.
so……
Swoosh—
With a soft sound, Xie Lingqin lifted her leg and swung her shoe toward the roof.
However, the shoes were gone, silently, and everything remained still.
The room was dimly lit, as if nothing had happened.
"Miss." The door was gently pushed open, and Zihe walked in quietly with light footsteps.
“I could hear noises from the shadows. With your skills, you couldn’t possibly have missed them?” Xie Lingqin looked at her coldly.
Upon hearing this, Zihe immediately knelt down on one knee. "Please forgive me, Miss. I did not sense any malice from this person. Perhaps he is interested in you."
"Interested in me..." Xie Lingqin pulled up a stool and sat down, her face cold and sarcastic. "You thief, I think you're interested in my shoes." With that, Xie Lingqin lifted one of her bare feet and dangled it in the air.
this……
The girl had dark eyebrows and eyes, fair and delicate feet, rounded fingers, and glossy and clean nails. She was only wearing a white undergarment with wide sleeves and loose black hair, which made her appear somewhat hazy and graceful in the dim light.
Even a woman from Zihe blushed slightly upon seeing this and advised, "Miss, although it's not late autumn, the nights are still chilly."
“So…” Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe and suddenly smiled slightly, “My shoe is worth a hundred taels. Tell the other party to prepare it. Otherwise, I will announce loudly tomorrow that a thief stole my shoe.”
"this……"
Even Zihe, a person who is usually reserved and composed, was still taken aback by Xie Lingqin's words.
This is hardly something a lady from a respectable family would do.
This is clearly a scam.
“Miss, your face…” Zihe tried to say something.
“Well, I can be shameless when it comes to money.” Xie Lingqin interrupted Zihe, then withdrew her jade foot and slowly stood up. “Besides, in this capital city of Beirong, I’m being divorced before I’m even married. How can I have any face left?”
