    It was absurd that he was rescued by Lu Zhaoyi's family's boat.

    If you remember correctly, she was drafted into the palace in the spring of the following year. She was a talented person at first, and then she was favored very quickly, and she was promoted to be a concubine. She got on the queen's lap, regained her favor, and was promoted all the way to Zhaoyi.

    At that time, she had already fallen out of favor, lived alone in the palace, and didn't pay much attention to these new and old loves.

    I just remember that Lu Zhaoyi at that time was pure and noble, completely different from what she sees now.

    Today's Lu Pingting, although her complexion is beautiful and moving, but there is always an indelible worry floating between her brows. Seeing Wu Jie coming in, she reluctantly raised her eyelids: "It's good if you recover." Finally, she didn't die on the boat, otherwise, her stepmother would make a fuss again.

    Wu Jie suppressed the turmoil in her heart, lowered her head and saluted seriously. Anyway, it was indeed the person in front of her who took her in. After all, the old dreams of the past are things that have not yet happened, and Ender cannot be taken lightly.

    "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I just did it with a little effort, so you don't need to thank me." Lu Pingting said softly, "What's your name?"

    Wu Jie was dumbfounded, what could she say?

    Caizhu rushed to answer for her, "She has a bad throat and can't speak."

    "Since you can't speak, why not write it down first. If there is any family member you need to find, you can also write it down. I can ask someone to take you back." While talking, Lu Pingting picked up a blank piece of paper and handed it to the In front of the opposite woman.

    Wu Jie stared blankly at the white paper and the writing brush stuffed into her hand, not knowing what to write for a while.

    her name? Can she continue to use this name? Now Zifen replaced her, and she became Zifen.

    In an instant, countless sadness and indignation welled up in my heart, and the hand holding the pen began to tremble involuntarily.

    You have to calm down, at least communicate with a credible person as soon as possible, and then contact the send-off team in the north.

    She was about to start writing, when her eyes suddenly went blank, and it was Lu Pingting who was on the opposite side and took the white paper back again.

    Under Wu Jie's surprised gaze, Lu Pingting smiled, "I was negligent. Not every woman can read and write." Looking at her well-dressed and extraordinary bearing, she thought she was from everyone, but now it seems , and not necessarily so.

    Wu Jie's eyebrows twitched. It was because she hesitated for too long that Lu Pingting mistook her for being illiterate.

    It's just that it doesn't matter if you don't need to write, she really doesn't know what identity she should use to communicate with the other party.

    After standing for a long time, Wu Jie began to feel a little dizzy. The toxins in her body were not detoxified, so she couldn't work hard.

    Lu Pingting ordered Caizhu: "Help her back to rest, she is still ill."

    Out of the cabin, the winter sun shines on the body. Wu Jie looked up into the distance, closed in the cabin for many days, this was the first time she saw sunlight.

    She looked at the desolate sky almost greedily. Today's weather is not good, and the gloomy clouds are dense, just like her mood at this time. But people are depressed for a long time, almost going crazy. Even this kind of weather is infinitely nostalgic in her eyes.

    She couldn't help slowing down her steps, and walked around the corridor, when she suddenly heard a laugh behind her.

    "Is that the person Juer rescued? Why does he look so stupid, don't be a fool."

    "All cats and dogs are rescued on our boat. Who knows why. Please spend money on medical medicine, which is something that my mother doesn't bother with. She doesn't have to do anything, and she has a good reputation for nothing."

    ...

    Wu Jie turned her head to look, and it was two young girls who were talking, and she could tell by their clothes that they were the young ladies of the Lu family, and there were five or six maids behind them.

    Wu Jie was not interested in paying attention to these gossips, she turned a blind eye and walked over.

    Going down the corner of the stairs, Caizhu reminded: "Those are the third and fourth misses. The third miss is born to the current wife." The tone was full of resentment.

    From her complaints these days, Wu Jie had learned that Lu Pingting was the daughter of Mrs. Lu's former wife, and this Mrs. Lu passed away after giving birth to only two daughters.

    After the death of his original wife, Mr. Lu soon married his new wife, Yang Shi. Yang Shi was very lucky, and gave birth to three sons and three daughters one after another. Coupled with the addition of a bunch of concubines, with more children, the two daughters left by the former wife will inevitably feel a little embarrassed.

    Among them, the eldest daughter died of an accident several years ago, and now only Lu Pingting is left alive.

    Wu Jie blinked her eyes, it seems that Lu Pingting's life before entering the palace was not easy.

    And pearling is even more gnashing of teeth is another matter.

    The Yang family came from a poor family background, and the dowry was not much at all, and Mr. Lu's official career has not been very smooth these years, and he does not have a lot of money in his hands. With more children, food and drink, daily services, everything needs money.

    The largest wealth in the family comes from the first wife, who was born in a wealthy family, and left behind a lot of land and shops, designated as dowry for the two daughters in the future.

    Before the two daughters got married, these properties were temporarily kept by the Lu family.

    "What do you pay for money for medical treatment, and don't look at yourself, what you eat and drink is not our Second Young Lady's money. When our Second Young Lady gets married in the future, hmph, there will be times when they look good."

    Perhaps because of taking care of Wu Jie for many days, Caizhu has automatically classified her as one of his own. This big-mouthed girl has no taboos at all.

    Why ask a doctor to deliver medicine, she hasn't seen a doctor at all these days, okay? Being able to survive depends entirely on her own hard work, Wu Jie is a little helpless. She has no interest in paying attention to these things. At present, there is still a big mountain hanging above her head, which may fall down and crush everyone to death at any time.

    She urgently needs to expose Zihui's true colors and change her identity back.

    But with her current appearance, no matter what she said, she would not be convincing, and would only be regarded as a liar.

    Zifen grew up with her since she was a child, and she has no flaws in her pretense. Especially when she let out all the maids who had been with her for many years before. Moreover, he is used to wearing a veiled hat along the way.

    Fortunately, two of the ceremony officials in Dongyue's marriage had met him before. No matter how long Empress Chen's hands were, it was impossible to manipulate all the officials. She had to catch up with them before the wedding team entered Beijing.

    Caizhu said just now that the Lu family's boat is also going to Beijing, so they will stay here temporarily, and take advantage of this time to find a way to restore their appearance as soon as possible. The only thing she can use now is Zifen and they think she is dead.

    She still remembered the prescription of bee venom that Master Guangxin had left for Wu Zhen before. The swelling on my face was very similar to that of the prince's brother back then, and it is very likely that the poison and medicine I took were also mixed with that kind of poison. Even if they are not exactly the same, anyway, it is a drug for detoxification and clearing stasis, and it should be effective.

    It's just that the medicinal materials recorded in that prescription are quite precious. Now that I am penniless, how can I gather the medicinal materials?

    She also thought about the fastest way, which would be to directly seek help from the officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty, such as Mr. Lu who is very close at hand, but she couldn't be sure of the positions, identities, and character of these Northern Wei officials. It would be a disaster if they took advantage of the opportunity and used this matter as a tool to get promoted and make a fortune, and even made the Northern Wei Dynasty mistakenly think that they Dongyue had the intention of assassinating.

    Now the ship is about to arrive at Jinwu. If you remember correctly, Jinwu seems to be Prince Fu's territory.This prince will plot rebellion in the future.Therefore, the matter of seeking help from local officials can only be postponed temporarily.

    The residual poison was not cleared, Wu Jie fell asleep again in a daze amidst the chatter of picking pearls.

    In the next few days, the fleet moved rapidly.

    Lu Pingting didn't pay too much attention to this person who was accidentally rescued, as if everyone on board had forgotten about Wu Jie. Only Caizhu and Ju'er, who are in the same room, help her carry meals every day and chatter about daily life.

    Wu Jie had to take self-portraits in the mirror many times a day. After a few days, she found that the swelling on her face seemed to be getting better. She remembered that the medical officer also said that although the bee venom in the prince's brother was disfiguring, it did not hurt And fundamentally, even without medicine, it can be cured automatically within a year and a half.

    As the swelling on her face lessened, the sharp pain in her throat also began to ease, and she was able to speak a few words slowly.

    On this day, Lu Pingting suddenly called her into the cabin again.

    "Now the ship is going to berth in Jinwu Port for a while. It just so happens that Miss has been feeling unwell for the past two days. She has invited a famous local doctor. Miss is kind-hearted. Remembering that there is still a patient on board, she will also check it for you." The person who spoke was Shan Fang, the eldest maid next to Lu Pingting.

    Wu Jie was no stranger to this girl. If Lu Pingting was the number one lackey under Empress Gao, then this girl in front of her was Lu Pingting's number one lackey.

    And with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, it is a vicious dog.

    But now facing Wu Jie, she was smiling and full of words, with an extremely gentle demeanor.

    While talking, she handed over the clothes in her hand.

    "If you want to see foreigners, it's not good to lose our family's face. These doctors are very snobbish. If the clothes don't fit you, they will never treat you with all their heart. This dress is newly made by our lady, and I haven't even put it on yet. Well. No, I reward you, try wearing it first."

    Wu Jie was speechless, her pearl-picking eyes beside her were bright, and she reached out to touch the bright purple brocade material, "What is it embroidered on, Huang Ying'er? It's so delicate."

    Shan Fang knocked off her pearl-picking hand, and shouted: "Don't touch it randomly! Your fingers are rough, and this good material is the most afraid of being scratched."

    Caizhu withdrew her hand shyly, and turned to look at Wu Jie enviously: "Miss is so kind to you."

    Wu Jie was speechless, Lu Pingting's temperament has always been that she doesn't get up early, how could she be kind enough to wear this dress for herself?

    "Last time, I saw that your figure and back are quite similar to our lady's, and it's not bad." She personally stepped forward to help Wu Jie change into this dress, Shan Fang admired her face, and when she saw Wu Jie's appearance, she couldn't bear it. He couldn't help sneering, "You have a slim body, but you have such a fat face, it's really funny."

    Wu Jie's eyebrows twitched.

    Shan Fang covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly for a moment, then brought Wu Jie to the vanity mirror, let her loosen her hair, and combed her bun.

    Such thick and smooth hair!Second Young Lady said that she came from a good family, which must be true, otherwise she would not have such fine skin and hair.While muttering to himself, Shan Fang kept his hands on, and quickly tied up Wu Jie's delicate hair bun, and took out two silver hairpins from his sleeves and put them on.

    No matter how she fiddled with it, Wu Jie had vaguely guessed what they were going to do.
