Zheng Xiyao sat cross-legged in the consciousness space, holding a novel "Becoming a Billionaire through Another World" and looking at it with relish.
[Host, why don’t you go back? If you don’t go back, you will be buried. 】
[Wait, wait until I finish reading this chapter. 】
Zheng Xiyao really couldn't bear to spend this leisurely and comfortable time now. Once she returns to her current body, she will have to face the crazy male protagonist.
[Host, die early and be reborn early. Don't forget, if the male protagonist continues to go dark, if you fail in your mission, you will be wiped out from this world. 】
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiyao reluctantly put down the storybook in her hand: [Okay, send me back now. 】For the mission and for her own life, Zheng Xiyao had to go back and face it.
[End the use of the mission card, host, you are welcome to use it, please give a five-star praise]
【hehe. 】
Sure enough, after a while, she woke up in the cold dungeon.
Zheng Xiyao slowly sat up and looked around. This was the same dungeon where she stayed a few days ago. Even the Fuyao Guqin, which Liu Siyan kicked and broke at that time, was still lying in the corner.
It seemed that the male protagonist really hated her so much that he just threw her unconscious into a dark, damp and stinking dungeon and ignored her.
However, Liu Siyan still had some conscience and had her feet taken care of.
[System, I remember that the last mission was completed, and I still have half a bottle of Lingxi Pills that I redeemed. 】
[Host, you have a really good memory. 】
[Quick, give me one. This is a good thing. One pill can restore 70% to 80% of my trauma. 】
【OK】
The system transformed Lingxi pills and fell to the ground. Zheng Xiyao saw no one around and quickly picked up one and ate one.
After a while, the medicine took effect, and a cool breath surged through her wound. She could feel that the wound was slowly healing.
After a while, Zheng Xiyao's ankle injury was almost healed. It's definitely no problem to stand up and walk, but it's probably not possible to use martial arts.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiyao didn't care, for her, living was the most important thing.
But now there is one most important thing to solve, and that is——
She is hungry.
This body should have not eaten for two or three days.
She looked around feebly, only to find a bowl filled with water at the door of the cell.
[Host, the hero may want to starve you to death. 】
【I think so. 】
In order not to expose herself, Zheng Xiyao had to pretend to crawl over, pick up the bowl and drink it all in one gulp.
Putting down the bowl, she picked up the rebellious stones and knocked on the door to attract the jailer's attention.
Sure enough, the jailer heard the noise and came to check. He was shocked to find her awake and immediately opened the cell to check. Zheng Xiyao took advantage of her unpreparedness and took out the Ruanjinsan that she had hidden in her arms, and immediately placed it on the jailer's side.
[Host, do you want to escape? 】
[If you don’t leave, are you waiting to die? Judging from the posture of the male protagonist, I don't think I can survive ten days, let alone ten years. 】
[Yes, let’s run quickly. The scan results here show that there are less than ten guards around, so this bottle of Ruanjin Powder is enough. 】
[It seems that the male protagonist thought I was going to die, and as expected, there were fewer people guarding me. 】
Zheng Xiyao was thankful that she didn't want to reconcile with the male protagonist. It seems that she has no place in the hero's heart at all. Also, the male protagonist and the original female protagonist should have started the story line now. They must be busy making love with the newcomer now, so why would they think of her as their enemy again.
Without thinking much, Zheng Xiyao decisively chose to escape from here.
…
At this time, rumors were spreading inside and outside the capital that the traitorous daughter of Duke Qing had been captured by His Majesty himself and would be executed soon.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Happily, those who were trampled under the feet of Duke Qing finally had a chance to stand up.
The worry is that people who are good friends with him may be implicated.
At this moment, the Duke of Qing's mansion was in a gloomy mood.
When the old lady heard that something happened to her beloved granddaughter, she was so angry that she almost died.
The youngest son heard an idler insulting his sister. He broke his arm in an argument and couldn't write for half a month.
The old Duke even locked himself in the study, secretly feeling sad in front of his wife's portrait.
This time, Duke Qing was really disappointed with his little daughter.
He spent his whole life as a soldier, guarding the frontier, loyal to the country and protecting the people, but his daughter turned traitor to the country for a man, which he couldn't accept.
"Father." The prince called Duke Qing softly.
"Is Yaoyao really having liaison with the enemy country as outsiders say?" Duke Qing still refused to believe it and asked while holding his wife's portrait with trembling hands.
"Father, you know His Majesty's temperament. How did he treat Yaoyao before and what is he doing now?"
"Yes, Yaoyao must have done something wrong to make him like this." Duke Qing sighed sadly and tiredly.
"I just didn't expect that the person Yaoyao likes is actually a member of the Yuwen family."
Hearing Yuwen Jimu's name, the prince's eyes turned cold: "Father, the Prince of Yong has been dormant in Shu for decades, and his plans are not small. What happened to Yaoyao must have been planned by them a long time ago. I suspect that they are... Destroy the relationship between the Duke of Qing and the royal family. After all, in the entire Yong Kingdom, except for Your Majesty, our family is the only one who holds military power in the northwest."
After Zheng Siqi finished speaking, he denied himself.
"But how could Yaoyao not understand the powerful relationship between this? With Yaoyao's intelligence, how could she really fall into this trap? There must be something hidden in it."
"No matter what the secret is, it cannot be changed without evidence. The fact is that Zheng Xiyao is treason."
Speaking of this, Duke Qing's eyes turned red: "As a father, I can't save her, Qi'er. As a father, I can't save your sister."
"I can't let the entire Duke of Qing be buried because of Yao'er. Treason is a major crime against the nine tribes. Yao'er has caused too much trouble this time."
Zheng Siqi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of his children: "Father, do you want to..."
"I will personally go to the palace, relinquish my position and title, and ask myself to take my people back to my hometown. Depending on your majesty's wishes, I can always save some blood."
Speaking of this, he said to Zheng Siqi: "Hey, after all, it was my father who couldn't forgive you and failed to keep this inheritance."
Zheng Siqi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.
Zheng Siqi: "What's the matter?"
Attendant: "Your Majesty, the informant just came to report that the eldest lady has escaped. Your Majesty has ordered a full search."
Zheng Siqi: "What?!" He learned about the situation from the guards and sighed in his heart. As expected of her sister, she was able to escape unscathed under such circumstances. I really don't know whether to be happy or...
The attendant handed over a letter: "This is a letter sent by your Majesty."
Zheng Siqi opened it, his expression suddenly changed, and he handed the letter to Duke Qing gloomily.
"He really hates your sister." Zheng Guo said with a pale face.
"Father"
"For the sake of the Duke of Qing, just do what he said."
"Yes." Zheng Siqi agreed with an ugly face.
