Not long after, Zifen led the four little maids to carry the food box into the side hall, and then laid out the dishes one by one.

After the maids left, Zifen went back to the inner room, helped Wu Jie change into clothes, and went to the side hall.

There are dozens of dishes on the table, most of which are special products of Lu rivier, fresh fish and shrimp account for most of them, and a glass of rose dew is particularly eye-catching.

"How did you think of turning this thing out?"

This kind of rose water is made by Princess Lu herself. It is mixed with a variety of fruit and petal juices. Prince De and sisters Wu Jie like this light fruit wine very much. This time going north, Wu Jie also brought a lot, but they were all on the back of the big boats, so it was not easy to find them.

"Seeing that the princess is not active these days, the servant ordered someone to fetch a bottle from the boat behind."

"It's rare that you are so considerate." Wu Jie laughed and sat at the table.

In order to avoid falling ill like in her previous life, Wu Jie didn't dare to eat too much chicken, duck and fish when the table was full. On the contrary, the rose dew was sweet and delicious, and it just went with the meal. She drank two glasses in a row.

Zifen stood behind her and looked at her figure who kept eating and drinking, with an indescribably depressed expression on her face, and her eye sockets began to turn red unconsciously.

Wu Jie ate for a while, and found that Zifen was very quiet behind her, and she was very surprised.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Zihui didn't expect Wu Jie to turn her head suddenly, and realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly turned her face away, "Princess, I just remembered that the crabs steaming on the stove are not ready yet, so I'll go and urge the little maid. "

While speaking, she turned and hurriedly left the room.

Behind her, Wu Jie's raised hand froze in mid-air. What's wrong with purple fennel? Do you really regret being homesick? What a silly girl, just say it directly, how could I blame her for this kind of thing.

Wu Jie secretly made up her mind that when Zi Anhui came back, she must settle the matter, no matter how much she insisted, she would send her back to Prince De's Mansion.

The elder brother of the prince has been lost, and other relatives and friends I care about must have the best life.

Wu Jie sat down and was about to pick up the chopsticks to continue eating when suddenly a feeling of nausea came up.

She hurried to the spittoon in the corner of the room and couldn't help vomiting.

Oops, my old problem of not acclimatizing to the environment really happened again! No matter how careful you are, you can't avoid it.

After vomiting for a while, Wu Jie felt much refreshed, but fortunately it was not serious. Let the accompanying imperial doctor come to make a diagnosis and treatment later, so it shouldn't be a serious illness like in the previous life, which would delay the trip.

After some faint vomiting, basically all the food and drinks that I ate just now were vomited up.

Wu Jie also lost any appetite, she simply dropped the chopsticks and went back to the bedroom.

I wanted to ask the maid to help me to wash up, but for some reason, there was no one outside the door. Could it be that everyone went to eat? It was too negligent, why didn't even the night watchman stay. And Zifen, where did he go?

Wu Jie sighed, went back to the room to freshen up a little, went back to bed and lay down, picked up a book.

However, a sudden burst of drowsiness hit her, and her mind was dizzy.

But just had dinner, why am I so sleepy? I have to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zifen later.

I can't sleep like this! Wu Jie pulled herself together and wanted to pat her cheek. However, his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even complete a simple movement like raising his hand.

Something is wrong! This is definitely not something that sleepiness can explain! Wu Jie woke up in horror, but she couldn't move her whole body, and her eyelids seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't open them at all.

At this extremely painful moment, suddenly the door rang.

The familiar footsteps came to my ears, it was Zifen! Wu Jie was overjoyed, finally someone came back, Zi An is proficient in martial arts, so she should be able to see that something is wrong with her.

However, after Zifen came in, she didn't go forward immediately, but stood by the bed without moving.

Wouldn't she think I was asleep? Wu Jie was anxious, so she hurried to find the imperial doctor! What are you doing standing there? There are two medical officers on the boat behind.

One master and one servant, lying down and standing separately, there was no movement, and the room was full of silence.

As the silence lengthened, a strange sense of fear surfaced, but the body was completely stiff, unable to move at all.

"I'm sorry, princess." Finally, the deathly silence was finally broken, Zihui's familiar voice came, and at the same time she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.

"I'm sorry..." She repeated these words, her voice trembling and low, as if she was in infinite pain.

Wu Jie was lying on the bed, listening to the voice of the most trusted maid in her two lifetimes in disbelief.

Zifen kowtowed three times to the "corpse" on the bed. Even through the soft carpet, you can still hear the clear impact sound, which shows how hard she exerted herself.

"Your soul is gone. If anyone knows, you must be full of resentment towards me, a slave who rebelled against and harmed the Lord."

"It doesn't matter, Zifen will go down to find you soon. At that time, whether you beat or scold, Zifen will recognize you."

Zifen... thinks she is dead! Thinking of this, Wu Jie felt unprecedented fear. Why? Zifen, what are you going to do?

"Princess, you only want to return to the Northern Wei Dynasty blindly, so that Dongyue can be safe in exchange, but who knows that the time will change, and one day South Chen will not rise again. What should I do in Dongyue then?"

"And returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, have you forgotten how many innocent people and soldiers of ours have died under the butcher knives of the gangsters in the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years? My father, my brother..."

Zifen's low cry came, like a bolt from the blue, hitting Wu Jie's mind.

Wait, isn't your father a down-and-out escort?

From Zifen's confusing words, Wu Jie finally understood that Zifen's father and elder brother were both soldiers on the border of East Vietnam. In recent years, East Vietnam, as a vassal state of South Chen, was frequently harassed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the two countries went to war. When it was intense, Nanchen would also ask Dongyue to send troops to assist. Therefore, the border has also experienced several battles, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost.

When Zihui's father and brother died in battle, she was not yet born, and her mother married the bodyguard with her posthumous son.

The bodyguard has a violent temper. The mother who married Zifen at the beginning only took a fancy to the generous pension money in her hand. After getting the money, her expression changed, and she beat and scolded their mother and daughter frequently. Zifen's mother could not bear the abuse, and soon After dying of illness, he resold Zifen to human traffickers.

Fortunately, she was sold into Prince De's Mansion.

Zifen has been living a stable life since she entered Prince De's Mansion at the age of seven. After becoming a princess maidservant, she is even more well-dressed and well-fed, not much worse than the ladies of ordinary wealthy families. She didn't expect such a secret past to be hidden in her heart.

Did she kill herself because she resented that she was about to become the concubine of the enemy emperor? However, in the previous life, she also embarked on the road of marriage, and Zifen didn't kill herself.

Zihui continued to mutter, if she didn't say these words, maybe she would be driven crazy by the guilt and pressure in her heart.

"Father died tragically, and so did my brother, and my mother has always been thinking about it. It was all because of the villains in the Northern Wei Dynasty that our house was broken and reduced to that point, and my mother died in depression..." She chanted the tragedies of the past, and then The subject changed, "The empress is right, as long as I can succeed this time, I can help them avenge."

"My servant knows that death is not a pity for an ungrateful person like myself, but as long as I can successfully kill that dog emperor in the Northern Wei Dynasty, my life is worth it."

"As long as I succeed in the assassination, when the South Chen army comes together, I will be able to kill all these villains..." Zifen muttered like a demon, speaking to the old master on the bed, and also to her own conscience.

It was Empress Chen, she secretly sent someone to contact Zifen these days.

Wu Jie was completely out of her wits. At this point, she already understood everything.

Zifen poisoned herself to replace her, approach the Northern Wei Emperor as Princess Jinning, and then assassinate her.

On the way north, her original maids stayed in Dongyue, and there were only a few maids serving her, probably most of them were spies arranged by Empress Chen.

For a moment, Wu Jie felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, full of fear.

I have been immersed in the mourning of the death of the prince's brother, I didn't expect it at all, and I have stepped into someone else's layout without knowing it.

Yes, the South Chen envoys from the previous life arrived smoothly, which saved Emperor Zhengen's heart and prevented Dongyue from completely surrendering to the Northern Wei Dynasty. So Empress Chen doesn't have to work so hard. But this world is different. The South Chen envoys were wiped out because of their own informants, and Empress Chen fought alone, losing every step.

As a result, the situation was completely backward, so Empress Chen made a dangerous move and came up with such a strange path.

She should have been in contact with Zifen before, and she must be a pawn placed in the Prince De's mansion. It's just that never expected that this chess piece would play such a huge role today.

Wu Jie even recalled that not long after she entered the palace, when she was still in love with her, Zi An was killed because she offended the emperor, and later she even turned her anger on herself, killing all the servants around her.

Could it be... Ha, at that time she was deposed as a noble concubine and demoted to a noble concubine. Thinking that she was tricked by Empress Gao, did Zifen really want to do something to that person...

For a while, the mood was complicated and turbulent.

After telling all the secrets, Zifen felt a little less stressed.

She stood up, walked to the bed, reached out and quickly untied Wu Jie's clothes.

Because she was going to rest, Wu Jie only wore a simple nightdress. But Zifen took it off after two or three strokes. Then she put on a plain blue dress for Wu Jie.

Then he hugged her horizontally.

What are you going to do? Wu Jie's heart was full of fear, she had already anticipated Zi Anise's next move.

"Princess, I know that I am absolutely sorry for destroying corpses and destroying traces like this..." The maid's voice came from next to my ear.

While talking, Zifen couldn't stop crying, she didn't even dare to look at Wu Jie's face the whole time.

Walking to the window, she closed her eyes and threw the body in her arms towards the middle of the river.

With a splash, he watched the waves surge and quickly engulfed the man.

Zifen lay in front of the window, tears rolling down her face.

After a while, she returned to the inner room, took out Wu Jie's long dress from the closet, and put it on.

Sitting by the bed and waiting for a while, I estimated that Wu Jie's "corpse" had already drifted away. She stood up suddenly and shouted towards the door: "Come on! Come on! My maid, Zifen, has fallen into the water!"
