Waking up again, Wu Jie felt a sharp pain in her throat, her whole body was limp and weak, and it was difficult for her to even move a little finger.

She tried hard to open her eyes, but only her eyelids moved.

There was a voice next to her ear, which seemed to be a young girl: "She seems to have woken up! Sister Caizhu, come and see."

"No, she didn't even move." The voice was a little older and lazy.

"But just now I saw her eyelids move."

"Maybe it's just a dream." After a pause, he continued, "Oh, you're the one who has too many things to do, and you have to save someone who is about to drown. Second Young Lady and Madam are very angry Woolen cloth."

The little girl said embarrassingly: "Sister Caizhu, I know I was wrong. It's just that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so you can't do nothing."

Caizhu flipped a Byakugan at her: "Then you take good care of her, don't let people die on our boat, Madam hates this kind of taboo the most, and will be scolded again at that time. Alas, we are slaves It’s fine if you get scolded, but it’s not good if you also get scolded for Second Young Lady.”

"Second Young Lady is beautiful and talented, why does the lady scold her every day?"

"Ha, it's so stupid of you to ask. No matter how good her temperament is, she didn't crawl out of Madam's belly. Forget it, you don't understand what I'm telling you. Take good care of this person these days." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Also, the second young lady secretly confessed that if she is going to die, she should be thrown into the water quickly, so as not to dirty our boat."

The little girl was startled: "Uh, this is not good, no matter what, it is a human life."

Caizhu sneered: "I heard that people who die on the boat will become water ghosts and follow the boat all the time."

"Wow!" With a scream, the little girl was terrified.

Amidst the yelling of the two maids, Wu Jie fell into a coma again.

I don't know how long the groggy days lasted, and when she woke up again, she was finally able to open her eyes.

It is a closed room, the only light is the oil lamp in front of the table, and the bean-sized light spot reflects the old furniture. Just two beds, a desk, and a big box in the corner.

The numbness in her body subsided slightly, and she tried hard to turn her head, which woke up the person on the other bed. Suddenly screamed, "Ah, you woke up!"

It was a pretty little girl, only eleven or twelve years old, who hurried to the bedside.

Wu Jie glanced over the light on the table. I didn't die, and I don't know how long it has passed.

How are Zifen and the others doing now? was anxious and wanted to ask something, but when opened mouth, there was only a hoarse voice, and throat couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, just take a sip of water." The little girl got a glass of water from the table and brought it to the bed.

Looking at the rough porcelain cup handed in front of her, Wu Jie's expression was suffocated. She had never used such a rough thing in her two lifetimes, and it must have been used by someone else, right?

The little cleanliness in heart floated, and finally couldn't resist the soreness and pain in throat. She opened her mouth obediently and asked the little girl to bring the cup to her lips.

The water is so cold! It seems to be overnight. The coolness slid down the throat, making people shiver involuntarily, but stimulating their spirits.

"Are you a girl from a nearby family? Did you fall into the water, or something unhappy? Uh, I was rude to ask. The old lady on our boat came to see you and said that you fell into the water and suffered a severe wind chill. "The little girl kept nagging, "My name is Juer, what's your name?"

What kind of wind and cold, I am obviously poisoned, okay! Wu Jie wanted to speak, but she couldn't.

Thinking about it now, Zifen must have put the poison and medicine in the bottle of rose dew, but she was so defenseless that she just drank it. The only fortunate thing is that she just happened to be acclimatized and spit out most of the poison, so she didn't die on the spot.

But Zihui didn't dare to face her because of a guilty conscience, and didn't check her life and death carefully, so she threw her into the water to destroy her body and wipe out all traces, leaving a glimmer of life behind.

She has to stop her ASAP!

It's so frustrating that you want to assassinate the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

Zifen's martial arts skills are mediocre, but Great Wei's palace is full of masters. Purple fennel has no chance of success at all.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if she succeeds in the assassination, will Wei Guo be in chaos because of it? Not necessarily, it's just another person ascending the throne. On the contrary, Dongyue will become the eyesore of the Great Wei, and it will undoubtedly be destroyed.

And she didn't know if the Northern Wei Dynasty was chaotic or not, and there would be chaos in South Chen in no time. Now South Chen's reigning Emperor Tiankang is wise and decisive, and he can be called a promising leader. However, this Emperor Tiankang is in poor health and will soon die of illness, while the new emperor is weak, suspicious, and foolish. The important ministers in the court denounced and killed, and remember that the first thing after succeeding to the throne was to recruit beautiful women, even they Dongyue would not let them go, asking for tribute women to enter the court. Dongyue had no choice but to buy a hundred women from the people and send them over.

With such a stupid thing on display, what future does South Chen have? Otherwise, why would she give up on South Chen so resolutely and insist on embracing the enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty?

However, she couldn't move her body, couldn't speak, so it was useless for Wu Jie to worry. She could only stay on this strange big ship first.

The little girl named Ju'er and the maid named Caizhu came to see her from time to time, through their chattering, Wu Jie knew that she was on a ship with an official named Lu. It was Ju'er who rowed a boat to buy fruit that day, saw her in the waves, and salvaged her.

Ju'er arbitrarily got a half-dead woman onto the boat, the wife was very angry, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was not easy to throw her on the boat again. He could only vent his anger by scolding the second young lady severely, who made her be Ju'er's master.

This Second Young Lady seems to be left behind by the former wife, and she is very unwelcome in front of the current wife.

"So you must be very grateful to our Second Young Lady." Caizhu repeatedly emphasized this sentence, which made Wu Jie's ears feel numb.

"Although you look a little ugly, you should be the daughter of a good family..." Caizhu continued to ramble.

What? ugly? Wu Jie's ears trembled. In her two lifetimes, she had never had anything to do with this word.

Wu Jie has been conceited of her beauty since she was a child. Even in the harem of the Northern Wei Dynasty where there are many beauties, she is confident that she is not inferior to anyone.

"This sister isn't ugly, she's just a little fatter." Juer next to her objected, but gave Wu Jie a more brutal blow.

fat? How is it possible, she has always been slim and slim, these days because of illness, she will only be thinner than before!

Regarding her appearance, Wu Jie suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

On the third day, Wu Jie was finally able to walk on the ground, and she immediately came to the bronze mirror by the door frame.

Looking at the face reflected in the mirror, she felt as if struck by lightning, and her heart suddenly turned cold.

The face reflected in the bronze mirror is simply horrible, well, she is actually a girl with neat eyebrows, but compared to her previous beauty...

Now her cheeks are swollen, as if she has gained thirty catties out of thin air, and now only two or three points of her formerly extremely beautiful complexion remain.

One white covers a thousand ugliness, one fat ruins everything.

Wu Jie trembled all over, and immediately understood that the poison and medicine given to her by purple fennel would not only kill her, but also disfigure her face. After all, if her body was salvaged after she fell into the river, it would be bad to find something based on her appearance up. So the appearance was also ruined, I just thought it was swollen after being soaked in blisters. No one can recognize her anymore, she is the beautiful and talented Princess Jinning.

In a trance, Caizhu pulled her out of the room, turned left and right in the narrow corridor, and finally arrived at a spacious and bright cabin.

"Second Young Lady, the girl you saved is here."

Caizhu brought her here today to thank Lu Second Young Lady.

Wu Jie entered the room in a panic.

The second young lady of the Lu family in front of her was wearing a light purple cross-neck long dress that was not worn out, and a silver-gray coat with pearl buttons on her shoulders. She was sitting in front of the window reading a book. Hearing this, she turned her head, her beautiful face reflected the morning light outside the window, like a budding magnolia flower.

Wu Jie almost choked to death.

Lu Pingting!

Lu Pingting, or Lu Zhaoyi, was her old acquaintance. Looking back on those days in the harem of the Northern Wei Dynasty, she was often targeted by this dead girl. The number one running dog under Empress Gao is talking about her.

She thought about going back to the Northern Wei harem and seeing her old friend again, but she never thought that the first person to see her would be her, and under such circumstances.
