In the dark cell, screams were heard from all around, and the air was filled with stench.
Zheng Xiyao lay on the cold ground, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She woke up but didn't dare to open her eyes as if to escape.
Zheng Xiyao quietly used her internal energy and found that her internal energy was blocked and she could not use martial arts.
"System, come out!" Zheng Xiyao called to the system in her mind.
"Hello, host."
"Okay, why didn't you remind me that the hero is here!" Zheng Xiyao asked.
"But, host, it was you who told me to shut up and not let me speak."
Zheng Xiyao: "..."
At this moment, she had the illusion of shooting herself in the foot.
"Then tell me, what should we do now?"
"Host, I suggest you take the initiative to admit your mistake. Maybe you still have a chance to survive."
"you……"
In fact, it was not that Zheng Xiyao had never thought of apologizing proactively, but when she thought of what she had done, she did not dare. Who would forgive someone who deceived her and killed her.
Unless your brain is flooded.
"Is there any other way?"
"Let me take a look at this." The system gave Zheng Xiyao hope.
"Ah, yes. Host, you still have points from the previous world mission, which can be redeemed for a memory card. Do you want to redeem it?"
"yes."
"100 points are deducted and the redemption is successful."
Zheng Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief. With her trump card, she had the confidence to stop pretending to be comatose.
Zheng Xiyao opened her eyes, stood up staggeringly, and looked around cautiously.
"Dear sister, you finally woke up."
Zheng Xiyao looked over at this scalp-numbing sound, and saw a slim woman in a cloak slowly walking from the door.
This person is none other than her cousin Xiao Qingrou.
Xiao Qingrou looked at the embarrassed Zheng Xiyao, with ridicule and hatred flashing in her eyes. She looked at Zheng Xiyao and said, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to be here today."
Zheng Xiyao chuckled lightly, glanced at Xiao Qingrou, who was covered in jewels, and replied slowly: "Cousin, I didn't expect that the most aloof and talented woman in the capital back then would become so tacky now."
"You!" Xiao Qingrou pointed at her angrily and was about to attack, but Zheng Xiyao refused to dodge.
"Ahem." A cough came from the corner. Xiao Qingrou stopped her hand instantly, adjusted her emotions and calmed down.
Zheng Xiyao pushed Xiao Qingrou's hand away boringly: "If you don't dare, get out of here." After saying this, the trembling woman ignored her and walked away following the sound of coughing.
But after taking a few steps, Zheng Xiyao stopped.
It turned out that her ankles were chained, limiting her range of motion to no more than two meters.
Zheng Xiyao still underestimated the male protagonist's hatred for her, how could he let her move freely.
"I can't escape, why bother?" Zheng Xiyao said softly towards the direction where the coughing sound had just come from.
And she didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear.
"Zheng Xiyao, who do you think you are? You are now a wanted criminal, a traitor, and everyone will kill you. Who else do you want to save you?" Xiao Qingrou mocked
She lowered her head and looked to one side in silence: [System, is there any tool that can shut her up? 】
System: [1,000 points are required to redeem the sound-blocking card. The points balance is insufficient and cannot be redeemed for the sound-blocking card. 】
Zheng Xiyao was shocked [Am I so poor now? How many points were redeemed for that memory card? 】
System [Hey, 2000 points. 】
Zheng Xiyao [What? ! 】
System [Hey, the life-saving card is naturally a bit more expensive. 】
Zheng Xiyao [Are you a ghost? Did you get a kickback? 】
System【No..No】
Zheng Xiyao snorted coldly when she saw the system's guilty look. She knew that the system once made her walk for two hours in order to save a point, and she missed the male protagonist's birthday.
She had a headache just thinking about it.
Zheng Xiyao was not in the mood to dwell on these things. She knew very well in her heart that Xiao Qingrou, a little green tea, would definitely show off her success once and for all to satisfy her vanity.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingrou babbled and showed off that she had lived a wealthy life, and her sister-in-law entered the palace and became a concubine. Even she herself received a royal reward for reporting the Zheng family's treason and was named the third-grade imperial concubine.
"You have nothing now, even the Fuyao Qin that you couldn't put down, your Majesty also gave it to me."
"You said Liu Siyan gave Fuyao to you?" Zheng Xiyao, who was originally unconcerned, suddenly raised her head and asked.
"Bold! How dare you call His Majesty by his first name." Xiao Qingrou scolded, and then said disdainfully, "Fuyao Guqin, yes, it's just a broken qin."
"Broken Qin? Haha, he dared to give it to you? He actually... poof." Zheng Xiyao shouted loudly. Before she could finish her words, a sweetness filled her heart and blood spurted out.
[Host, are you really angry? 】The system asked worriedly.
[Well, I was so involved in the drama that I forgot for a moment that I no longer need to be a white lotus. Wait for me to adjust it. 】
Zheng Xiyao lowered his head seemingly sadly, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was smeared, making his face look delicate and delicate. She was born with a pretty face, but this gave her a fragility that made people pity her.
Xiao Qingrou looked at Zheng Xiyao's seductive look and couldn't help but think of what her mother often said to her when she was a child: Rou'er, don't compare with your cousin, you can't compare with her, she is the daughter of the Duke of the country.
Yes, the daughter of Duke Qing, the sweet daughter of heaven. Wasn't he being bullied by her like an ant? Xiao Qingrou sneered, she raised Zheng Xiyao's chin and said:
"Sister, why are you still like this all these years? You almost destroyed my hand for this piano, but now it is still mine." The arrogant tone was annoying.
Zheng Xiyao closed her eyes tightly, she could clearly feel the pain in her cheek, but Xiao Qingrou still dealt a cruel blow.
[Host, can you bear this? 】
【Shut up! 】
[Alarm, alarm. 】The system suddenly issued a life warning alarm.
At this time, Xiao Qingrou took out a dagger from her arms and put it against her face. Zheng Xiyao felt a chill. Xiao Qingrou whispered in her ears like a poisonous tongue:
"Cousin, you know, what I hate the most is your aloof appearance. You are just relying on your uncle's power. But now, even my uncle can't save you."
Xiao Qingrou laughed like crazy, as if she was going to die in the next second.
Suddenly, there was a strong pulling force, and Xiao Qingrou couldn't control her body and fell forward. Zheng Xiyao, who had closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes, her cold eyes without any emotion, as if she was looking at a dead person.
She quickly squeezed the woman's hand and restrained Xiao Qingrou with her backhand without any effort.
Zheng Xiyao bent down and slightly frightened the woman's face like a frightened bird, and said softly: "My silly sister, you don't know, I, Zheng Xiyao, don't need anyone to save me. I want to leave, but there is no one."
You can stop me! "
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Qingrou's reaction, Zheng Xiyao tied the woman with the iron chain she had just broken free. Throw it aside like trash. He turned around and picked up the Fuyao Guqin, which was still lying beside Xiao Qingrou, and gently wiped it.
She was in no hurry to leave.
When Zheng Xiyao put the piano on her back and prepared to leave, Xiao Qingrou shouted hoarsely: "Zheng Xiyao, do you think you can escape? You can't leave. How could he let you go when he is here?"
Zheng Xiyao seemed to have not heard anything and pushed open the cell door.
Suddenly.
A sharp arrow shot out of the air and landed at her feet.
Zheng Xiyao paused and looked in the direction of the arrow.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Long time no see, Your Highness."
