Chapter 1989 Impossible!
Lu Zhaoling's gaze fell on the girl's face again.
She was stunned when she saw it.
She vaguely sensed that this girl seemed to be related to her by blood.
She sat up straight.
Upon seeing Lu Zhaoling's reaction, Lord Chen paused, his heart leaping into his throat.
No way?
There's clearly something wrong with this.
What exactly is the problem?
Could it be that this girl is destined to be with the prince? Is there some kind of karmic connection?
Qingyin and Qingbao also noticed Lu Zhaoling's reaction, and the two maids immediately tensed up, watching the girl who walked in warily.
They are all ready.
If there's anything wrong with this girl, they'll have to step in.
In this atmosphere, the girl seemed even more nervous, and her body visibly trembled.
She could barely walk; her steps were so unsteady, as if she were walking on cotton.
She mustered her courage and looked up at Lu Zhaoling.
Upon seeing this, all the luck and courage she had accumulated along the way vanished instantly.
How could she possibly compare to the princess before her?
They are like a bright, clear moon, while she is just a nameless little wildflower.
"This must be the Princess Consort of Jin. Greet her," Lord Chen said to her in a low voice. "However, there's no need to kneel. The Princess Consort doesn't like people kneeling."
The girl stiffened and gave a slight curtsy.
"This humble woman, Cui Xiaoxing, greets Your Highness."
"Your surname is Cui?" Lord Chen asked first.
His eyes widened instantly, and then he looked somewhat annoyed.
He had asked the girl her name before, and she said it was Xiao Xing. He hadn't even thought to ask for her surname.
At the time, he felt that the surname of such a young girl was not important.
Damn, it's not important.
Her surname is Cui!
The princess's mother's surname is Cui. Although it's not too late to find out now and it doesn't have any impact, it was still his oversight. He should have asked first and told the princess in advance so that she could be prepared.
He looked at Lu Zhaoling and, as expected, found her somewhat surprised.
"Cui Xiaoxing?"
Her mother was Cui Liyue, and she also had an aunt named Cui Meixue, she remembered.
Is this person named Cui Xiaoxing?
They seem somewhat related no matter how you look at it.
She could tell that Cui Xiaoxing seemed to be related to her by blood. Could it be that she was her aunt's daughter?
Does her aunt have a daughter?
Or is it another relative of the Cui family?
"Yes."
"Your father's surname is Cui?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Cui Xiaoxing nodded. "Yes."
She swayed slightly as she said this.
"Sit down and let's talk." Lu Zhaoling paused, gesturing for her to sit down. Then she said to Qingyin, "Go check if she has any other injuries on her head."
She gave Qingyin a wink, then looked up and touched the back of her head.
Qingyin instantly understood what she meant.
They were quickly assigned to the princess's side, so they all knew the extent of the princess's injuries at the time.
The princess is now asking her to get checked out to see if Cui Xiaoxing also has an injury on the back of her head.
If that's true, then it must have been intentional.
The scene of the princess meeting the prince back then must be completely recreated.
Qingyin immediately walked towards Cui Xiaoxing.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Cui. Let me check if you have any more injuries on your head."
After saying this, Qingyin immediately cupped Cui Xiaoxing's head and began to examine her.
Although there wasn't a large gash on the back of Cui Xiaoxing's head, when she reached out and touched it, she actually felt a large bump and a little bit of blood.
"hiss."
Cui Xiaoxing gasped in pain.
"Excuse me, sister, my head hurts so much, please be gentle..."
"How did you get hurt?" Qingyin asked.
"When I ran out of the gambling den, someone hit me with a stick."
"You were hit so hard, didn't you faint?" Qingyin asked again.
Lord Chen watched nervously from the side.
There's also an injury on the back of his head!
This girl didn't mention that at the clinic!
The doctor only looked at her forehead, he didn't touch the back of her head! But shouldn't this girl have said it herself?
"I felt dizzy for a moment, but I was so scared of being locked up there that I bit my tongue to keep from fainting and managed to run out," Cui Xiaoxing said.
“It’s really not easy for someone with your physique to escape from a gambling den full of thugs and get out onto the street,” Qingyin said again.
She stepped back, washed her hands, and walked over to Lu Zhaoling, telling her about her injuries.
Lu Zhaoling's eyes flashed.
Is this not a deliberate attempt to replicate her past experience?
why?
What's the use of this?
Did she think that this way she could repeat the path she had taken and that it would also be related to Zhou Shiyue?
Will she be taken back to the Prince's Palace by Zhou Shiyue? And then be betrothed to someone else?
That's impossible. What idiot would think things are that simple?
Lu Zhaoling frowned, because she could tell that this girl was related to her by blood, which made things more complicated.
"Actually, someone helped me stop those thugs first." Cui Xiaoxing looked up at Lu Zhaoling, bit her lower lip, and said, "It was Sister Shuixin."
Water heart?
Lu Zhaoling paused for a moment, then remembered who Shuixin was.
Zhou Shiyue's mother, Consort Long, was a palace maid who served her in the past, and the daughter of Aunt Yao.
Previously, Shui Xin was a maid in the royal palace. Because of the incident involving Nabuhanda of the barbarian tribe, a ghost was also sealed on Shui Xin.
The incident caused quite a stir at the time.
Later, Zhou Shiyue allowed the two families to stay in the capital for the time being, and they were not allowed to leave until the matter with the barbarians was investigated.
Shui Xin and the others lived in the capital, and Qing Xiao also sent people to keep an eye on them. If nothing went wrong, Qing Xiao wouldn't bother to report it.
We haven't heard anything about Shuixin lately, which means they're staying there quietly and waiting for things to come to a conclusion.
However, when Cui Xiaoxing suddenly brought up Shuixin, Lu Zhaoling's heart skipped a beat. Did she wonder if Shuixin and the others' well-behaved behavior was just a facade?
Is there something about Qingxiao that we haven't been able to find?
"How did you know I knew Shui Xin?" Lu Zhaoling asked in return.
Cui Xiaoxing said somewhat nervously, "Sister Shuixin mentioned it once before. Before I was taken to the gambling den, I also came to the city to deliver wild vegetables. Sister Shuixin lives in that alley, and she bought wild vegetables from me once."
"I think Sister Shuixin is a very nice person, and I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. I stared at her for a long time, and an auntie next to me said, 'This girl comes from a royal family...'"
Upon hearing this, Lord Chen couldn't help but blurt out, "Who? Who dares to spout such nonsense?"
Shuixin stayed at the Prince's Mansion for a few days, wasn't that because of Aunt Yao?
He knew about that too.
But why did Shuixin become a girl who left the Prince's mansion?
Cui Xiaoxing seemed startled and quickly said, "Sister Shuixin scolded her for talking nonsense."
