"I don't know what to do... I ran away... But I felt that this was wrong... I am not a conscientious person... I approached her... because I saw that she was kind-hearted... She would always give me food... Her father is a blacksmith... My father can't beat her father... I dare not go to her house to cause trouble... As long as I run to her house... I can temporarily avoid the beatings from my parents..."

Her breathing gradually became shorter and shorter, and she was almost unable to catch her breath.

Meng Qianqian frowned: "Don't say anything."

She smiled weakly: "Meng Qianqian... I just gave birth to a baby... I was so excited that I did something stupid... I won't tell you now... If you ask me next time... I won't tell you anyway..."

She looked out the door, as if lost in memories. "Later, I went back and buried her. I kept the 'rescue order' and the signal bamboo... hoping to return them to Uncle Lin one day."

"I didn't know what to do with the other bodies, and just then... Lu Lingxiao appeared..."

Lu Lingxiao mistook her for Lin Wan'er, saying that Father Lin and Master Lin were dead, and asked her if she was willing to leave with him, and he would take care of her for the rest of her life.

For a lifetime.

No one had ever given her such a precious promise.

She couldn't resist such a great temptation, so she nodded against her conscience.

She took away Lin Wan'er's identity.

It is not difficult to pretend to be Lin Wan'er, but the difficult part is that Lin Wan'er's father is actually one of the famous Twelve Guards.

"General Lin said that you are also good at martial arts. You were able to kill so many assassins. Your martial arts should be much better than mine."

Lu Lingxiao said to her with great appreciation.

But she doesn't know martial arts, which is her fatal flaw.

Then, she encountered an even bigger flaw.

Lin Wan'er is from Yangzhou, and her whole family speaks with a Yangzhou accent. She can learn a few words, but if she speaks more, everyone can tell that she is a real border person.

She tried not to talk.

She had just lost her father and brother, so Lu Lingxiao thought she was just too sad and didn't want to talk to anyone, so he didn't suspect anything.

But this is not a long-term solution.

She needed a permanent solution.

It is hard to tell whether it was her fortune or misfortune that she was abducted by the Beiliang people.

The Beiliang people forced her to tell them about the Twelve Guards, but she was not the real Lin Wan'er, so how could she know?

However, no matter how she clarified, the people of Beiliang just didn't believe it.

They tortured her severely and made her suffer terribly.

That was the first time she experienced the consequences of lying.

She swore that she would never pretend to be Lin Wan'er again. This identity was too dangerous!

But what's the point of swearing? She's going to die soon!

Just when she thought she was going to die, a masked man appeared and took her away from the Beiliang military camp.

The man said he believed her, but he hoped that she could continue to pretend to be Lin Wan'er.

He assured her that she would never be in any danger again.

He could also tell her some things about the Twelve Guards and help her get away with it.

"I asked him why he did this... He said I didn't need to know... Either I go back to the Beiliang military camp and die... Or I become the real Lin Wan'er..."

He was able to impersonate Lin Wan'er for such a long time without revealing any flaws. It turned out that he had the secret help of the Twelve Guards.

Rather than the purpose, Meng Qianqian wanted to know the other party's identity: "Who is that person?"

Lin Wan'er said, "Hai Pig."

Meng Qianqian was shocked: "Hai Pig?"

The Pig is the most reckless and impulsive of the Twelve Guards and always seems to follow others. This answer is so surprising.

But now that things have come to this, there is really no need for Lin Wan'er to lie to her.

Although her name is Xiaoli, Meng Qianqian is used to calling her Lin Wan'er.

Meng Qianqian asked solemnly: "Lin Wan'er, is Shen Hou a traitor?"

Lin Wan'er was horrified: "How could Uncle Lin be a traitor?"

Meng Qianqian asked suspiciously, "Back then, Marshal Chu was poisoned, and someone falsely passed on his order to transfer away the twelve guards in the mansion. Wasn't it Shen Hou who did it?"

Lin Wan'er felt a tightness in her chest and her face turned pale. She said with difficulty, "It was Hai Zhu... He was the one who poisoned... He asked Shen Hou to pass the message everywhere... He was also the one..."

Meng Qianqian suddenly understood.

In the princess's mansion, when the Snake asked the Dragon, the Goat, and the Pig to name the messenger at the same time, the three of them shouted out the Monkey's name in unison.

The Pig knew that the order came from the Monkey, and the Goat and the Dragon also heard the order from the Monkey, but they didn't know that the order actually came from the Pig.

The Monkey is being used by the Pig.

Lin Wan'er's life was rapidly fading away. Meng Qianqian hurriedly gave her acupuncture and gave her a heart-protecting pill.

“I can’t swallow it anymore…” Lin Wan’er tightly grasped Meng Qianqian’s hand, using all her strength, “Haizhu… asked me to wait for someone in the capital… That person… would give me something… I got the thing… and now…”

Meng Qianqian leaned down and put her ear close to Lin Wan'er's lips.

Blood continued to flow into Lin Wan'er's throat: "...Did you remember?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I remember it."

"And... be careful..."

Lin Wan'er whispered the name of one of the Twelve Guards in her ear and dropped her arm.

The baby in her arms seemed to sense something and started crying heartbreakingly...

Meng Qianqian went to the next room.

After experiencing such a big change, there was no panic on her face.

This calm courage and magnanimity made Princess Wanping look sideways.

An absurd doubt suddenly flashed through her mind: Is this person really Meng Qianqian?

Why do I feel like she is on an equal footing with me?

"Princess."

Princess Wanping recalled her thoughts: "She's gone?"

"Ah."

"Is the child okay?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Thanks to the princess's blessing, the child is fine. She was born thanks to the princess. Would the princess like to take a look?"

Princess Wanping nodded.

Meng Qianqian handed the baby in her arms to Princess Wanping.

The child was crying loudly. Princess Wanping held her in her arms and felt the fragility of life for the first time.

She sighed, "Life is unpredictable, fate plays tricks on people. Do you think she has any regrets?"

Meng Qianqian did not answer.

Princess Wanping looked at the little one in her arms and said to Meng Qianqian, "You can go back. I will take care of the rest. You and Lu Yuan were not here last night."

Meng Qianqian left the yard.

Lu Yuan stood in the morning light, not knowing how long he had been there. His body was covered with dew. The golden beams of light were reflected in the crystal clear dewdrops, giving off a glass-like luster.

Has he... waited here all night?

Lu Yuan turned around and saw her standing at the door without moving. He rarely said anything venomous to her and walked towards her: "Are you tired?"

"Yeah." Meng Qianqian's forehead pressed against his chest with a slap.

Lu Yuan felt his heart skip a beat and his chest felt like it was burning with fire.

"you……"

"Just for a while."

Meng Qianqian said in a low voice.

She was not fragile. Lin Wan'er's death gave her a little shock, but not enough to affect her emotions.

"Grand Governor."

"Ah."

Lu Yuan maintained his posture for her to lean on, and responded to her in a cold tone.

"The pig is the traitor."

"Ah."

"Lin Wan'er...Xiao Li has something hidden in the Lu family."

"Let Yu Zichuan get it."

Yu Zichuan had been eating watermelon on the roof just now, so he heard everything Lin Wan'er and Meng Qianqian said.

Lu Yuan thought Meng Qianqian would talk about the second traitor among the Twelve Guards next.

Unexpectedly, Meng Qianqian suddenly said in a nasal voice with a hint of grievance: "Giving birth... is really painful..."
