A faint ray of light slipped past my eyes, and the cold air was dyed with a touch of warmth.

It's dawn.

Ever since I was imprisoned in this dark prison, I have no concept of time. Only the faint sunlight leaking from the high skylight let me know that another day has begun.

But I didn’t have any strength in my body. Maybe it was because of the old injuries that hadn’t healed before, and the cold and damp conditions in the prison. I developed a fever the night I was imprisoned. The lingering low-grade fever was like a bottomless pit, draining all my energy.

, the whole person is like an empty sack, huddled in the corner.

Just when I was drowsy, there was a sudden sound of unlocking in my ears.

A person said in my ear: "Qingying, Qingying, how are you doing?"

I struggled to open my hot eyelids. After a blur, I saw a familiar face. He stretched out his hand towards me with concerned eyes, as if he wanted to hold me in his arms: "Qingying!"

……

I shrank slightly and avoided his hand: "Slave, please pay homage to His Highness King Qi."

It's not surprising, it was expected that he would come to see me, but I really don't want anyone to see such a miserable look.

Pei Yuanfeng's hand froze in mid-air. After a long time, he said bitterly: "Qingying, are you blaming me?"

"Slave, I don't dare."

"You are just blaming me. You blame me for hiding my identity. You blame me for deceiving you, right?!"

He said eagerly: "But - I didn't mean it, I just, I just cherish our relationship together too much. You don't have to worry about my identity, and I don't have to alienate you because you are the maid of the third brother. Qingying

, is it better for you to call me Your Highness than to call me Xiao Wu?"

"..." I looked at him quietly. After a long time, I said in a dry voice: "Your Highness, you are Your Highness after all."

As soon as he heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and he slowly lowered his head, and his whole person seemed to be slumped.

A trace of unbearability surged in my heart.

However, no matter how much I can't bear it, I can't bear it, although - he gave me a precious brother-sister relationship. Even if it's just my wishful thinking, the warmth of being cared for is enough for me to remember for the rest of my life - but, after all, he is

His Royal Highness, King Qi, is the prince of the Tian family.

In Tianjia, there can be no feelings!

After an unspeakable silence, Pei Yuanfeng raised his head and looked at me again, his eyes a little firmer: "Qingying, don't worry, I will find a way to rescue you, and the prince brother is also helping you find a way.

, we will definitely be able to help you clear your grievances and save you from here!"

He and the prince are both trying to save me?

My heart trembled slightly, and my eyes that were originally hot were filled with moisture, but I said softly: "Your Highness, please and His Royal Highness, please don't worry about Qingying."

He was stunned: "Why, don't you want to go out?"

I smiled faintly: "The Queen has handed this case over to the Third Highness for trial, believing that the law will give this slave a fair trial."
