01 Jinghong fell into a dream
The world rises and falls before our eyes.
In the distance, the sun swayed deeply through the water.
A sudden feeling of suffocation followed.
What followed was a buzzing that hit the eardrums.
Yunzhi felt as if she had fallen into a world of nothingness and darkness. Countless voices from time and space touched her nerves. Countless hands stretched out from all directions to pull her soul. The wind whistled in her ears, like a ghost, like a ghost. It was as if he wanted to eat her alive.
It should be successful this time.
Before completely losing consciousness, Yun Zhi thought so.
However, when she opened her eyes again, what she saw was still a familiar scene——
In the gorgeous and simple room, the little maid was kneeling in front of the bed and crying. The eldest lady of the Lu family was sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes. Standing behind her was the second young master of the Lu family, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand.
There were faint quarrels not far away outside.
"... Master, please calm down first. Right now, it's more important to let the people below keep their mouths shut!"
"How can I not be angry? It's only been half a month and we've already made trouble three times! She's going to kill our entire Duke Anguo!"
"She doesn't want to get married, so naturally she's going to make trouble..."
"Madam! Even if she doesn't want this marriage, it's a gift from the king!"
"Father!" The second young master, Lu Shenjun, finally couldn't help shouting outside, interrupting the quarrel between the two.
Then, he handed the decoction in his hand to the little maid who was still crying. He raised his hand and patted the eldest daughter of the Lu family twice on the shoulder before turning around and going outside.
Watching him leave, I listened to a few distant footsteps outside. Finally, the whole room gradually became quiet, with only the sound of the little maid crying slightly left.
Yunzhi sighed secretly, but she still failed. It seemed that seeking death would not allow her to go back.
This is her second time jumping into the lake.
Of course, to outsiders, this is the third time.
Before her, the original owner of this body also jumped once.
It is said that it was because she was granted marriage by the emperor, but she didn't want to get married, so she simply jumped out of it, but unexpectedly, she hooked Yun Zhi over.
Yun Zhi didn't know why she was lured here, but now she was in this world without any expectations. She just wanted to return to her own world as soon as possible.
Since arriving here for half a month, she has been trying to go back and jumped into the lake twice, but without success.
The sound of the little maid's twitching sounded in his ears again, and his thoughts were brought back. Yun Zhi sighed secretly, sat up, took the soup that still had some heat in the maid's hand, and drank it in one gulp. It hit my whole body instantly, and suddenly, a sense of reality that I had never experienced in the past half month suddenly emerged from my consciousness.
How is this going?
Yunzhi frowned slightly, and before she had time to think about it, she heard someone calling her name.
"Zhi'er..."
Yun Zhi subconsciously followed the sound, and what came into view was a beautiful face, with soft brows and eyes, full of bookishness.
She is the eldest lady of the Lu family of Duke Anguo's mansion and the biological sister of the original owner. Her name is Lu Yunsheng.
What a coincidence is that the original owner has the same name as her, but with the surname Lu added in front, Lu Yunzhi.
Seeing that Lu Yunsheng still looked a little confused, Yun Zhi guessed that the eldest lady probably thought that she jumped into the lake because of the marriage. It was the same the previous two times, and every time she woke up You have to listen to this eldest lady’s confession.
Originally, she thought she could return to her own world by jumping into the lake, so she didn't bother to explain, but now that death escape was not possible, she could only stay and slowly find a way.
If you stay, you will have to deal with the people in this mansion, and you will have to make an explanation.
Yun Zhi thought about it for a long time and tried to imitate the tone of the original owner, "My jumping into the lake has nothing to do with the marriage. Sister, you don't have to blame yourself like this."
Although she did not inherit the memory of the original owner, she already had a general understanding of the original owner's character through the rumors among the people in the world - gentle, modest, well-behaved, and sensible. These are the words they used when referring to the second young lady. the most.
Yun Zhi thought that she was probably a good-natured girl.
She imitated it successfully, but the expression on Lu Yunsheng's face became even more guilty. Seeing her lips moving slightly, as if she wanted to continue explaining, Yun Zhi quickly started to talk nonsense: "I had a dream a few days ago, and there was a god. Tell me there’s treasure at the bottom of that lake!”
When you are in doubt, it is right to leave it to the gods.
Lu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, obviously not believing it. He stared at her for a while and then hesitantly asked: "Really?"
Yunzhi nodded, his eyes firm: "Really!"
Lu Yunsheng was doubtful, "Then you...are you willing to marry His Highness Prince Ning?"
Prince Ning was the original owner's betrothal partner. Yun Zhi had often heard servants mention it in the past few days. It was said that the original owner liked the prince, but what was written in the betrothal decree was: Lu Yunsheng, the eldest daughter of Lu Ming, Duke of Anguo, is virtuous and virtuous. , entered the Zhaohua Palace and was granted the title of Crown Princess; the second daughter, Lu Yunzhi, improved her appearance and became Princess Ning.
This is why Lu Yunsheng feels ashamed of his sister.
As for the question of whether she is willing to marry Prince Ning, Yun Zhi feels that she is not qualified to answer for the original owner. Firstly, she does not know whether the original owner jumped into the lake because of the marriage. Secondly, she is waiting for him after all. It won't last long. If one day she goes back and the original owner comes back, everyone will have to continue living in their own worlds.
After thinking about it, Yun Zhi asked, "Does my sister want to marry the prince?"
Lu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, but didn't seem to want to answer. He brought the topic to a halt and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Zhi'er, you just woke up and your body is still a little weak. You'd better have a good rest first. I'll come see you tomorrow."
With that said, he stood up and left in a hurry.
Just as the figure disappeared at the door, the little maid Shinsui, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice: "Hypocritical!"
Yun Zhi raised his eyebrows, "What did you say?"
The little maid said angrily: "His Royal Highness is not only noble, but also handsome and gentle. What can the eldest lady be dissatisfied with? She knows clearly that His Highness Prince Ning is sick and disabled, yet she still comes to ask the second young lady if you are willing. What is it if it’s not hypocrisy?”
A sick and disabled body? I haven't heard anyone say anything about this in the past few days.
Yun Zhi wanted to ask what the disease was, but was worried that it would be revealed that he was not the original owner, so he had to hold back his gossip and comforted him: "Xin Sui, you can't say that. I think my sister is quite sincere."
"Second Miss, you have such a good temper!" The little maid Xinsui looked regretful and began to choke as she spoke: "It is obvious that you are the most suitable match for His Highness the Crown Prince, but you were cut off by the eldest miss! When I think of the future You have to live with a deaf and aphasic person for the rest of your life, and Shinho's heart is filled with panic!"
Deafness and aphasia...means being deaf and dumb.
Yun Zhi finally understood why everyone thought that the original owner jumped into the lake because he was dissatisfied with the marriage. Speaking of which, the emperor was quite wicked. How can two daughters of the same family be arranged like this? Who can maintain a psychological balance?
"Okay, stop being stuck." Xinsui started crying again. Yunzhi felt dizzy, but he could only comfort her patiently: "No one is perfect, and the prince may not be that good."
When Shinsui heard this, he immediately stopped crying, "That's true. Although His Royal Highness is a good person, he has been weak and sick since he was a child. If he can't be protected, he will..."
Perhaps knowing that her words were treacherous, the little maid did not dare to continue speaking and just silently began to pack the medicine bowl.
Tsk, this dog emperor is so wicked, using two sick young sons to treat such a good girl like Huo Huo!
Yun Zhi couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, and calmly ordered: "That Shinsui... go and get me some books, I want to read them."
Shinsui snorted, took two steps out with the bowl, then turned back and asked: "Second Miss, what book do you want to read?"
"Criminal law, or history books..." Seeing the confusion and confusion in Shinsui's big eyes, Yunzhi immediately realized that his statement was wrong, coughed awkwardly, and changed his explanation, "It was when the court Can you understand the laws and books that record major events that are happening now or in the past?"
To survive here, you must first understand the rules of this world, and the rules can often be glimpsed from laws and history books. The appearance of an era will eventually be revealed in the books.
Shinho blinked twice, "I understand, but the kind of book you want is not available in our small study."
Yunzhi immediately captured the key information: "Then my second brother should have one, right?"
Shinsui nodded, "That's natural. Second Young Master's Haoran Zhai has the largest collection of books besides the Royal Library in the palace. Naturally, there are all kinds of books."
"Then..." Yun Zhi just said this word, and Xin Sui shook his head and said, "Miss, have you forgotten? The year before last, Xin Yu accidentally knocked over the candle when he was cleaning Haoran Zhai. Although it did not cause a big disaster, it From then on, the Second Young Master would not let us servants get close to Haoran Zhai. If anyone in the house wanted to read a book, he would write it on a list and hand it to the Second Young Master's courtyard, and he would send someone to deliver the book. "
This is troublesome. Yun Zhi secretly felt anxious. If he handed in the order as Xinsui said, it would definitely arouse Lu Shenjun's suspicion. He had to find a way to sneak in and take a look.
"Second Miss, you can also write a list first, and Xinsui will send it to you." Xinsui suddenly said again, "But at the moment, the Second Young Master should be on duty at the Criminal Investigation Department. It is estimated that the book will not be delivered until tomorrow." Delivered to you."
Rotation? That means you are not at home anymore!
Yun Zhi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly let out another ouch, covering his head and lying back on the bed, "Forget it, forget it, my head suddenly hurts, I don't want to see anymore, I'd better sleep for a while, and wait until the second brother comes back tomorrow. Bar."
Shinho responded and exited the room.
.
The An Guogong Mansion was eerily quiet late at night.
Yun Zhi quietly climbed out of the window and out of the room, then hid in the shadows and climbed over the wall out of the courtyard. After evading the patrol guards three times, he finally arrived at Haoran Zhai.
She came out once in the afternoon. Although she was followed by two guards arranged by Mr. Lu at that time, she still found out where Haoran Zhai was.
At this moment, Haoranzhai was pitch black, without a trace of light.
Yun Zhi didn't dare to go through the front door, so he sneaked in through the back window and landed on the ground, but he happened to be bumped into a warm embrace.
Someone!
