The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"The princess fell into the water..." Xue Zhiyi's voice was still filled with exhausted gasps.

Hearing this, the boy's eyes fluttered.

Xue Zhiyi said quickly: "The princess is still alive. I just pressed her chest. It should... work."

There was a hint of gratitude in the young man's auspicious eyes. He nodded repeatedly, then took over from Xue Zhiyi and continued to press Huo Zhiyu's chest.

Fortunately, someone came and Xue Zhiyi was finally able to rest for a while. He sat down on the ground, feeling weak.

Looking at the boy's profile, Xue Zhiyi's eyes moved slightly.

This person, he said he was Huo Zhiyu’s second brother, that is... Lin’an Marquis Huo Wuyou.

She had never seen Huo Wuyou in her previous life, but she had heard some things about him.

In the previous life, not long after the Xue family got into trouble, the empress dowager passed away and Princess Anle Huo Zhiyu was sent to Beidi to marry. However, the Lin'an Marquis Huo Wuyou in front of him had tried to kidnap Huo Zhiyu.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed and was convicted and exiled to Yuzhou, where he died on the way not long after.

It's such a pity that such a kind-hearted and bright young man died in his early twenties.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

It turned out that the palace maids and female officials who served Huo Zhiyu had finally arrived.

When they saw this situation, they were all shocked and knelt down to kowtow and apologize.

If they don't take good care of the princess, all of them might be in danger of losing their lives!

Fortunately, the female official named Chai Yue was relatively calm and composed. She came over on her knees with a cloak in her hand and said, "My Lord, can you first settle the princess down and let the imperial physician take a look?"

At this moment, Huo Zhiyu started coughing again, vomited saliva, and opened his eyelids weakly: "Second... Second brother?"

Huo Wuyou's brows finally relaxed a little: "How is A-Yu? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Cold..." He answered listlessly and closed his eyes again.

Huo Wuyou quickly wrapped the person in his cloak and carried him horizontally.

Seeing this, Xue Zhiyi said, "This place is relatively close to my Jiangxue Pavilion. If you don't mind, I will take the princess there and settle her there."

Huo Wuyou's eyes were red, and he nodded: "Thank you!"

Then, looking at Xue Zhiyi who was shivering unconsciously due to the cold, he told Chai Yue, "Get this girl a thick coat as well."

Although Chai Yue looked serious, his features were kind.

Especially at this moment, looking at Xue Zhiyi who was soaked all over, and Huo Wuyou's attitude, she could probably guess that it was she who saved the princess. She became more and more grateful to Xue Zhiyi, and hurriedly took out a spare piece of clothes and put it on her personally.

"Thank you very much, Miss Xue."

Holding a piece of clothing, Xue Zhiyi led a group of people to Jiangxuexuan.

Such a big scene even startled Qiuyun, who was usually calm and composed. When she saw Suyue coming back with Xue Zhiyi, who was soaking wet, she became even more worried.

"Miss, what's wrong?!"

Xue Zhiyi had no time to take care of himself for the time being, and only said: "Qiuyun, have someone prepare enough hot water and send it to the east wing room, the more the better. Everyone else in Jiangxuexuan, all go to the east wing room and wait!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Qiu Yun nodded: "Yes!"

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and Huo Zhiyu was not seriously injured. He just needed to rest for some time.

The servants of Jiangxuexuan and the princess's maids were coming in and out, very busy.

After ensuring that Princess Anle was safe, Huo Wuyou finally walked out of the east wing with lingering fear.

His eyes fell on Xue Zhiyi who was outside the door. She was holding a bowl of ginger soup and drinking it slowly.

After calming down a little, he bowed to Xue Zhiyi solemnly and said, "I will never forget your life-saving grace. What is your name, young lady?"

Xue Zhiyi gave the ginger soup to Qiuyun, and then returned the gift: "I am Xue Zhiyi, and I am the Marquis of Lin'an. Thank you for your courtesy."

"When I saw her at the Jinlu Bridge that day, I didn't realize she was Miss Xue San."

Xue Zhiyi only smiled politely: "I didn't expect the Marquis would still remember it."

"Every time we meet, it's so thrilling, it's really impressive."

Huo Wuyou's eyes were clear and bright, with an unforgettable youthfulness: "In short, the Lin'an Marquisate will always owe Miss Xue a favor. If there is any need in the future, please feel free to ask Miss Xue."

"Thank you very much." Xue Zhiyi smiled.

Suddenly, she changed the subject: "It's just that right now, I happen to have something I want to ask the Marquis."

Her hair was wet and loose, and the makeup on her face had been washed away by the lake water, leaving her bare face. Her skin was a transparent white after being soaked in cold water.

At this moment, dusk was falling, casting a layer of warm light on her little face.

She looked thin, but her cheeks still had a little bit of baby fat, her almond-shaped eyes were watery, and she looked very well behaved.

She is really a lovely little girl.

If you pinch her face at this moment, it must be cold and soft, like chilled cheese.

When this thought flashed through his mind, Huo Wuyou was startled and blinked unconsciously.

"...Ms. Xue, please go ahead."

"The rockery is remote. I wonder why the Marquis appeared there at that time?"

Xue Zhiyi was still smiling while speaking, and his voice was as gentle as usual, but Huo Wuyou's eyes changed quietly.

His eyes flickered: "Why do you ask this, Miss Xue?"

Xue Zhiyi's smile deepened a little, and it shone in his eyes, appearing particularly sincere: "Is it inconvenient for you to say it, Lord?"

"Of course not."

Soon, the emotions in Huo Wuyou's eyes were restrained: "I'm not familiar with the Xue Mansion, and I lost my way while walking."

Xue Zhiyi nodded in understanding: "I was just thinking that there are quite a lot of people who got lost today. It seems that the palace guards need to add some manpower."

Hearing this, Huo Wuyou raised his eyebrows slightly, held up his chin, and nodded in agreement: "We should be more careful."

Xue Zhiyi's stature was just up to his chest, and he looked down at her. Xue Zhiyi's expression was still innocent, yet extremely sharp.

Huo Wuyou concluded: This is really not a very lovely little girl.

What he didn't know was that Xue Zhiyi was silently lamenting in his heart.

It's such a pity for Huo Wuyou. Not only is it a pity that such a bright and bright young man died so young, but it's even more of a pity that beneath Huo Wuyou's clear eyes, there is a heart that is a million times more complicated than its appearance.

In fact, ever since Xue Zhiyi learned about Huo Wuyou's identity, undercurrents have been surging in his heart.

In her previous life, she knew clearly that Huo Wuyou was actually a member of King Cheng's party.

Huo Wuyou's father and brother died in the northwest, killed by the Northern Di people. Later, Huo Wuyou discovered that there was something strange about the matter and reported it to the emperor through Prince Sheng.

The real cause of death of the Huo family was that General Shen Chiyan colluded with the enemy and committed treason.

Even though there were many doubts about this matter, in the end the entire Shen family was executed.

Xue Zhiyi had never believed this in her previous life. She didn't believe that Shen Chiyan, who had always been unyielding, would do such a thing as harming his colleagues and colluding with the enemy and committing treason.

But whether she believed it or not, she could not resist the emperor's order to kill her.

Poor Shen Qingtang was not implicated because she was a married woman, but she still fell ill and could not get up because of it.

And Xue Zhiyi's elder brother Xue Tingsheng, a beast in human clothing, not only found a new lover, but also brought the new lover to Shen Qingtang's bedside, angering her to death.

Xue Zhiyi sighed secretly: Shen Qingtang, ah, Shen Qingtang, your luck with women is really bad.

Having said that, Xue Zhiyi believed that others got lost in the Xue family and went to a remote place by mistake, but Huo Wuyou was Prince Sheng's man, and was in opposition to Prince Gong's camp where the Xue family was, and they were incompatible.

Moreover, the wedding banquet has been going on for so long, but his whereabouts are still unknown, and he keeps hiding in remote corners... This is very subtle.

What exactly does Huo Wuyou want to do?

And what does it have to do with the incident that happened to the Xue family in the previous life?
