Ye Jing, who was originally relaxed, almost lost her breath after hearing these words.
Especially Chen Xueying's last question scared her soul away.
Ye Jing looked up directly at her and waved her hands: "Your Highness, I am really Ye Jing. I guarantee it's true."
"Me?" Chen Xueying asked again.
Ye Jing was so anxious that she almost cried. How could her mouth just cause trouble?
"No, this slave deserves death." She got up directly, knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
At this moment, she no longer had any luck in her heart. She just regretted that she had underestimated the ancients and was not careful in her words and deeds, and her identity was exposed so quickly.
"You were very good at fooling me in front of Hua Rong. It's just that you two have equal status, and Hua Rong only cared about you and didn't notice it. But in front of me, there are loopholes everywhere. It's obvious that you I’m not used to such a status gap. Where are you from? Is there no distinction between superiority and inferiority in your hometown?”
The princess was completely sure that she was not Ye Jing. She asked in a very curious tone, and through some of her performances, she directly started to touch her bottom, which made Ye Jing full of despair.
"What the princess is saying, my servant doesn't understand at all."
"Okay, at this time, you still dare to speak harshly, are you trying to lose your head?" Chen Xueying pretended to be cold and cold.
Ye Jing gritted her teeth and held on to the end: "Even if the princess wants to kill the slave, I can't tell you something I don't know, unless I talk nonsense to fool you, but it's even more sinful for a slave to fool the master. Please, please Princess Mingjian!"
Perhaps because she was forced into a corner, Ye Jing has calmed down a lot now. The worst she can do is lose her head. Maybe she can wear it back after she dies.
Chen Xueying was silent for a moment, then sighed and helped her up.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
Ye Jing kept hiding out: "Princess, if I know it's you, please stop teasing me. I am Ye Jing."
It was obvious that she was really frightened. At this moment, she thought Chen Xueying was fishing and wanted to trick her into revealing her identity.
"Thank you for the Hermès. It's a pity that I can't even carry it on my back."
Chen Xueying looked at her like a frightened bird. She probably didn't dare to admit it for a while, so she had to confess her identity first.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Jing stopped hiding, but directly raised her head and looked at her blankly.
Princesses in ancient times would not say such things, and this was something she and Chen Xueying knew.
"It's really you, so why do I look so similar? Then why didn't you admit it just now and still wanted to scare me?"
Ye Jing felt aggrieved and happy at the same time. She felt like she was going to survive a disaster. She couldn't bear it anymore. Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell down.
Chen Xueying immediately took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears gently.
Ye Jing hugged her directly and wanted to cry loudly, but was afraid of being heard by others, so she only dared to whisper in a low voice.
"Are you really here too? How about we get the code right? What's the next sentence for hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and boron?"
Chen Xueying was amused by her, but Ye Jing kept urging her when she didn't answer.
"Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. Odd changes to even, the symbol depends on the quadrant. Palace jade wine, one hundred and eighty glasses. We Chinese will not lie to the Chinese, okay?"
In order to reassure her, Chen Xueying not only answered the questions, but also said several other slogans in succession.
Ye Jing also burst into laughter and wiped it with a handkerchief a few times.
"Why did you wear it too?"
Chen Xueying blinked: "I still want to ask you. I was stabbed by Zhu Qin, and I probably won't survive. What happened to you? Didn't you leave already?"
Ye Jing blew out a bubble of snot, and when she thought of this, her teeth itched with anger.
"Sure enough, it was Zhu Qin, that jerk! Don't mention it. I went to the bathroom and bumped into him when I came out. He had a knife in his hand with blood on it. I was stabbed before I could react. Now think about it, That knife should have just stabbed you."
There were almost no customers in the cafe at that time, and the clerks were all petite girls, so they were completely unable to stop him from committing the crime.
Chen Xueying sighed softly: "Ah, I still count on you to help me get revenge."
She was originally lucky that Ye Jing left well.
If Zhu Qin stabbed someone in public, he would definitely not be able to escape.
After Ye Jing found out about this, she would not give up and help her.
"Don't worry about revenge. My family will never let him have an easy time. It's just that he has to wear this crap!" Ye Jing was furious.
Chen Xueying patted her shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort: "Let's make peace with it now. The most important thing is to play the role of Ye Jing well. Did you see the Prince of Northern Qi kill Ye Wu?"
Ye Jing immediately shook her head, her face pale: "No, I came here after Ye Jing fainted. If I had seen it with my own eyes, I would have exposed it on the spot."
"It's okay if you don't, but after you wake up, you should inquire more about the situation at Hua Rong's place, take the opportunity to claim your illness, without seeing anyone else, and wait until you find out the situation clearly before serving in front of the princess. Otherwise, even if it's not me, you will have to expose the secret." Chen Xueying Can't help but mention her.
Ye Jing shook her head again: "I just came to see the princess. Have you ever read a novel called "The Happy Life of a Fake Princess and Her Marriage"?"
When Chen Xueying heard the name, her eyelids twitched, and there was a vague premonition in her heart.
"I haven't read it. Could it be that we two have traveled through this book?" She swallowed nervously.
Ye Jing nodded with a mournful face: "Eight-Nine Inseparable. The novel I am reading recently, at the beginning of the novel, is that the real princess eloped with someone on the way to get married, and her palace maid Ye Jing pretended to be her and married to the Northern Qi Dynasty."
Chen Xueying was silent for a moment before asking: "How did the real princess die?"
Ye Jing couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at her in surprise: "How did you know that the real princess was dead?"
"You risked falling off your horse to meet the real princess just after you woke up. This is nothing more than a huge deviation from the plot you know. Even before you took any action, butterfly wings appeared and changed the plot, so you came Let’s see what changes have taken place in this true princess, right?”
Chen Xueying guessed it almost instantly, and further explained: "And I have already dealt with the Prince of Northern Qi. With his character, the princess who is caught eloping by him will definitely die."
Ye Jing's eyes gleamed when she heard that she had used limited information to infer so much.
She felt that the girl in front of her was so smart that she could tell at once.
"You are so powerful, you can survive in the hands of a lunatic like Lu Zhao. The real princess did not survive past three chapters, and was nailed to death by Lu Zhao with a dagger. The author specially used hundreds of words to describe that scene, A beautiful woman in a red wedding dress was hung on a cliff with blood stains flowing down her face, just like the horrific scene of riding a horse." Ye Jing trembled as she spoke.
When she was reading the novel, it was from the perspective of the heroine Ye Jing, and she didn't care much about the death of cannon fodder.
She even felt that the author used so many words to describe the scene, which was simply a waste of word count. He dared to talk so much nonsense at the beginning of the online article, which challenged her patience as a reader.
Chen Xueying frowned and couldn't help but guess: "Ye Jing is the heroine, Lu Zhao won't be the hero, right?"
Ye Jing hesitated for a moment and then said: "One of the male protagonists. This is an adult night reading."
She tried hard to explain, her face turning red.
"Xiao Huang-wen, there is more than one male protagonist, tsk tsk, it's exciting. How can a man like Lu Zhao, who kills without batting an eyelid, know what gentleness is? The heroine is not a masochist, so she is not afraid of being too intense and being beaten by Lu Zhao Killed by mistake?"
Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows and suddenly became curious.
Ye Jing's face turned red. When she watched it alone, she didn't think anything was wrong. However, this was the first time she discussed it with someone she wasn't familiar with, and it almost cost her her life.
"I, I don't know, but the author's writing is very exciting, and it's fun to read. The male protagonists in the novel are all very talented. They hold her in their arms and want to rub them into their bones and blood. They love her crazily. , it’s just fun to watch.”
Chen Xueying nodded helplessly: "Other men said it was rubbed into the bone and blood, which may be just an adjective, but when it comes to Lu Zhao, it looks very real. You are very beautiful."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Jing already curled her lips and was about to cry.
"He does often have an inner monologue, saying that he wants to eat the heroine in one bite, chew up the bones and dregs, and swallow it into his stomach, so that the heroine will be with him forever. I love the sinister and paranoid male protagonist in the book, but Who dares to ask for it in reality? Wuwuwu——" She was about to cry again as she spoke.
When I read the novel before, I was so addicted to sugar that I was dying of it, but now I feel like I'm like shards of glass.
The male protagonist's confession wasn't an affectionate one. It was more like a declaration of crime.
Chen Xueying was just joking casually, but she didn't know that the description in the book was so serious.
"It's okay. You are not a fake princess now. I am really not dead yet. If anything happens, I will stand in front of you!"
Her words of comfort instantly stopped Ye Jing's crying. It was obvious that her words were very reasonable.
"Don't you feel awkward when you see characters in novels with the same name as yourself?"
After she calmed down, Chen Xueying couldn't help but ask again.
"At the beginning of the meeting, a friend told me that he had the same name as me, so I went to watch it out of curiosity. I originally had a judgmental attitude, but the male characters in it were all so touching, so I was immersed in it. This guy has the same name and surname. It’s easier to substitute, it makes me blush and feel angry.”
Perhaps because her emotions had been vented, Ye Jing relaxed a lot, and she was able to tell even these embarrassing little things openly.
"Okay, now you can tell me the content of this novel in general. After all, I am about to go to Beiqi to suffer. How long I can survive depends on your plot cheats."
Ye Jing did not dare to delay and immediately told what she could remember.
Of course, when she was describing it, the most commonly used phrase was "the two of them just had a big fight", which made Chen Xueying's eyelids jump.
"Okay, let's just skip these useless plots. First tell me the relationship between the characters in Northern Qi."
Ye Jing returned to the palace ladies' carriage. Hua Rong and Hua Pu had been waiting for her anxiously. They were relieved to see her return unharmed.
"Princess, did you scold you?" Hua Pu was very concerned when he saw that Ye Jing's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts. She must have been scolded.
"You deserve to be scolded. If you dare to call the princess by her first name, how many of you have enough heads to lose?" Hua Rong looked at her with hatred.
Ye Jing sniffed and nodded quickly in response.
Chen Xueying sat on the soft cushion, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the relationships between the characters that Ye Jing had just dictated.
"Tsk." When the first word fell on the paper, the handwriting was a little crooked, and she couldn't help but frown.
It seems that she still has a long way to go before playing the original role. She even has to imitate her handwriting from scratch. Fortunately, this body has muscle memory, and she can catch up with a little practice.
After she finished writing, she wrote down the personality and preferences she summarized for each person based on the plot in the book. She read it silently several times before burning all the pieces of paper.
*
At night, the motorcade stopped for repairs and was getting closer to the capital of Northern Qi.
Chen Xueying was lying in the tent, sleeping uneasily.
The bonfire was lit, and the soldiers keeping watch sat together in twos and threes, talking and laughing softly.
Suddenly the leader made a gesture, and everyone stopped talking and looked around alertly.
The terrain of Northern Qi is not good, there are not many plains, and most of them are hills and mountains. Even if it is close to the border of Northern Qi, the surrounding area looks bare and completely deserted.
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, there are no stars, and the place that cannot be illuminated by the bonfire looks extremely dark.
Suddenly, in the darkness, countless dots of green light appeared. At first glance, they looked like fireflies flying, but the experienced leader had already recognized them.
"Everyone, be careful, wolves are out, protect the princess!"
He gave the order, and all the guards immediately drew their swords, and some quickly raised torches, trying to use fire to drive away the wolves.
"Aww-" The wolf howled in the wilderness, giving off a gloomy sound.
This seemed to be an order from the wolf, and all of a sudden a group of wolves came straight towards him.
They ran quickly, accompanied by heavy breathing, and their smooth figures were gradually seen clearly. Everyone's scalps gradually became numb as they watched a dozen wolves rushing towards them.
These wolves are muscular and have smooth fur. They don't look like hungry wolves in the wilderness at all. Instead, they look like they were specially raised by someone.
The wolves were well-trained, and within a few breaths, they had already rushed over and quickly confronted the soldiers on the periphery.
The soldiers were all holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, but they were not afraid and did not pay attention to the sharp blades.
Even when the soldiers raised their swords to slash at them, they could subconsciously dodge, wave their front paws, and directly slap the weapons away, or even kick up their hind legs to kick the soldiers away.
In close combat, it was obvious that these wolves had the advantage. Their sharp teeth, powerful limbs, flexible bodies, and even the tacit cooperation of the formations all stunned Dayan's soldiers.
General Liu had already rushed out of the tent, holding a long knife in his hand and staring at them coldly.
Seeing this, he threw the long knife in his hand directly.
The knife went directly towards the neck of the alpha wolf. Surprisingly, the alpha wolf staggered half a step ahead of time, causing the blade of the long knife to scrape hard from the side of its neck, bringing up a long string of blood beads.
The long knife was inserted diagonally into the ground, making a "buzzing" sound.
"Aww!" the alpha wolf yelled, and instantly all the wolves fighting in the melee received the order and threw away the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the wolves that had gathered around him left like running water.
