Chapter 681: Identity Chapter 681: Identity Editor: Atlas Studios âMiss Wang?â A gentle voice sounded in her ear.
Duan Yuqingâs brows creased slightly.
When she opened her eyes, her vision was blurry and it took her a long time to see what was in front of her.
âMiss Wang?â Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Mu Yangling called out to her again.
However, the person on the bed only frowned slightly and looked confused.
She turned to look at her in confusion.
Mu Yangling smiled at her.
âMiss, youâre awake?
Are you feeling better?â âYou are?â Only then did Duan Yuqing sober up and look at Mu Yangling in confusion.
Mu Yangling helped her up and poured her a glass of water.
After seeing that she had moistened her throat, she said, âYouâre seriously injured and are recuperating at my home now.â Seeing that her expression had relaxed slightly, Mu Yangling suddenly asked, âHow do you feel now, Miss Duan?â Duan Yuqing put down her teacup and said with a smile of gratitude, âThank you, Madam.
I feel much better now.
I wonder if my maidservantââŹÂŚâ âAre you talking about Miss Qiaohui?
She went to brew medicine for you.â Mu Yangling asked gently, âHow did you get injured, Miss Duan?â Duan Yuqing replied vaguely, âI met an evil person on the way and accidentally got injuredââŹÂŚâ She did not know how Qiaohui had explained her background, so she did not dare to explain too clearly.
Duan Yuqing quickly looked around the room and saw that the furnishings were exquisite.
Judging from this, she knew that this was the home of a wealthy family.
Logically speaking, they should be keeping a low profile as they were fleeing for their lives.
How did she end up here?
Duan Yuqing looked at the door anxiously and asked, âHow should I address you, Madam?â Mu Yangling looked at her carefully and said with a smile, âIâm Princess Consort Rong.
Miss Duan, you can just call me Your Highness.â Duan Yuqingâs expression changed slightly.
âPrincess Consort Rong?â There was no Prince Rong in Dali.
No, she had fled to Great Qi.
When the Emperor of Great Qi ascended the throne, he conferred his younger brother the title of Prince Rong.
In her agitation, Duan Yuqing felt a pain in her waist and abdomen.
All color drained from her face as she covered her wound and almost bit her lip until it bled.
âMiss?â Qiaohui, who had come in with the medicine, happened to see this scene.
She rushed over, placed the medicine on the table beside her, and rushed in with an agitated and anxious look.
âMiss, youâre awake?
Did you accidentally touch your wound?
Iâll call the imperial physician for you now.â Duan Yuqing waved her hand and looked at Qiaohui anxiously.
She had many questions to ask her, but with Mu Yangling here, there was so much she could not ask.
She could only worry.
Mu Yangling seemed to know what she was thinking.
She stood up and said, âSince youâre awake, take the medicine before resting.
Iâll visit you again tonight.â Mu Yangling brought the servants out, leaving the mistress and servant alone.
Duan Yuqing heaved a sigh of relief and asked, âWhatâs going on?
Werenât we going to White Cloud Temple?
Why are we here at the Princeâs Residence?â Qiaohui sat by the bed and hugged her.
She whispered into her ear, âYour Highness, walls have earsââŹÂŚâ In a low voice, she briefly explained what had happened in White Cloud Temple and Cleansing Water Nunnery.
Duan Yuqingâs heart skipped a beat.
She could not help but clutch her chest and ask, âWho did you say my alias is?â âMaster Liao Wu said that you are General Wangâs daughterââŹÂŚâ âButââŹÂŚâ Duan Yuqingâs face was pale.
âBut she called me Miss Duan just now.â Qiaohuiâs expression changed as well.
She tightened her grip on Duan Yuqingâs hand.
Gritting her teeth, Qiaohui said hatefully, âWhat a treacherous person!â She actually took advantage of her mistressâs unconscious state to do such a cunning thing.
âQiaohui, can we leave?â Having been hunted down all the way, Duan Yuqing feared for her fate now that she had fallen into the hands of the Great Qi royal family.
âYour Highness,â Qiao Zhiyanâs eyes turned slightly red.
âYour injuries are too seriousââŹÂŚâ Not to mention that they were trapped in the Generalâs Residence and their sacrificial soldiers were imprisoned, even if the sacrificial soldiers were still around, they would not dare to escape.
Duan Yuqingâs injuries were too serious.
If there was no good medicine and doctor, perhapsââŹÂŚ Hatred filled Qiaohuiâs heart as she knelt down and said, âYour Highness, that Princess Consort is not a pure-hearted person.
Since she tricked you, it means that she already suspects your identity.
You didnât refute just now, so sheâs most likely already determined your identity.
In that case, why donât you be honest and cooperate with Great Qi?â Duan Yuqing lowered her eyes and bit her lip gently.
She hesitated.
âB-But if she uses me to make a deal with the Gao familyââŹÂŚâ âIf she has such thoughts, I will protect Your Highness even if I die.
The most important thing now is to heal your injuries.â Qiaohui had thought it through very clearly.
If they wanted to escape, Duan Yuqingâs injuries had to be healed first.
Otherwise, escaping was equivalent to death.
The only thing she could do now was to think of a way to buy more time.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Qiaohui whispered in her ear, âYour Highness, time is of the essence.
We canât hesitate anymore.
If you reveal your identity, as the princess of a country, you will receive preferential treatment and your injuries will definitely recover faster.
Even if she has evil intentions, she has to inform the Emperor of Great Qi first before thinking of a way to inform the Gao family in Dali.
During this period of time, when you recover, I will immediately send you out.â At the end of the day, what they were fighting for was time.
Time to recuperate.
Duan Yuqing gritted her teeth and agreed.
âInvite her over then.
Iâll talk to her personally.â Qiaohui was a little worried since Duan Yuqing was innocent and might not be a match for that treacherous Princess Consort.
However, she was just a servant and indeed did not have the right to talk to Mu Yangling.
Qiaohui gritted her teeth and fed Duan Yuqing the medicine before going to look for Mu Yangling.
Along the way, she kept thinking about where they had revealed their tracks.
How did Mu Yangling suddenly guess their identities?
Could it be that the sacrificial soldiers had betrayed them?
No, that was impossible.
Those people were well-trained and would not betray their masters.
Qiaohui went through the speculations in her heart as she overthrew them one by one.
Meanwhile, Mu Yangling said excitedly, âGo and call Young Master Zijin back immediately.
Tell him that I have something important to tell him.â Initially, she was just randomly giving it a shot.
She did not expect to really get it right.
That was all thanks to all kinds of creative television dramas that she had watched in her previous life.
Mu Yangling smiled happily.
She had originally suspected that Miss Wang was the Wang familyâs son who had disguised himself as a woman to escape.
Later, when she confirmed that it was indeed a woman, she naturally suspected that âMiss Wangâ was not a daughter of the Wang family.
Since she wasnât from the Wang family, whose family did she belong to?
The power of Dali was higher than that of the Wang family.
There were only a few families that could send so many sacrificial soldiers.
Initially, she suspected that âMiss Wangâ was a daughter of the Gao family or the Qin family.
After all, these two families were in charge of Dali now, especially the Gao family which controlled almost all the government affairs in Dali.
She remembered that Haoran had previously said that in the past three years, Dali had rebelled twice just because they opposed the Gao familyâs control of the government.
He suspected that Dali and Qiannan were in frequent contact because the Gao family wanted to divert the attention of the country.
However, when she looked at the girl lying on the bed just now, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and called her âMiss Duanâ before she completely regained her senses.
So, her surname was Duan.
In Dali, there was only one family with the powerful surname DuanââŹâthe Dali Imperial Family.
