But the man in the house, I never saw him mourn for his dead mistress and shed a single tear.

On the contrary, he looked at the frozen and stiff hostess casually, and moved the person outside to dry with disdain.

Finally, after staying outside the courtyard for several days, under the discussion of the people in the village, he dug a pit in the back hill and threw people into it.

I was eight years old at the time, and I also understood some human feelings, and I knew that in this world, not all husbands and wives will be like my father, who will only be good to my mother from beginning to end......

However, what I didn't expect was that the man would force me to drink when I was nine years old, and try to force me while my brain was drowsy......

He pressed me against the table, his palms swimming on my back, and I was so frightened that I cried and begged him to stop, but he laughed, and with filthy words in his mouth, he ripped off my clothes.

At that moment, I don't know where I got the courage, I touched something and smashed it on his head, and then he stopped moving.

I hid in the corner of the wall, huddled in a ball, trembling and unable to speak.

I hadn't heard a voice for a long time, and I looked over curiously, only to find that the man's head had been smashed by me, and blood was flowing everywhere, staining a large area of the ground.

He's dead......

After learning this information, I was not only not shocked and frightened, but I felt unusually peaceful in my heart, as if I had finally been liberated.

"Aren't you scared at all when you kill someone?" A black-clad masked man suddenly stood in the doorway, and the glint in his eyes made me a little confused about his intention to come at this time.

However, I was not afraid, "Are you going to arrest me and go to the officials?" ”

"So, are you starting to get scared?"

I shook my head, my face didn't change at all, "Staying here is no different from being in prison." ”

"Well, since it doesn't make a difference, I'll take you to another place, but you need to promise me one thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"You'll know when the time comes......"

As soon as I heard him finish speaking, my eyes quickly went dark, and the whole person fell into a coma.

I know that all of this was done by him......

It's just that I didn't expect that when I woke up again, I would appear in the palace.

No...... To be precise, it should be in the training camp in the mountain behind the palace.

Where, everyone was expressionless, and it was clear that they were just a group of children who were about the same age as themselves, but their eyes were full of killing intent that did not match their age......

"Who are you?" Suddenly, a person walked over, and that person had a cold air all over his body, and his face was raised, and there was a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

I stood there and tugged at my clothes in a nervous way, "I, my name is ......"

"Qiang Red ......"

"Huh?"

"I don't care if you were a beggar on the side of the road or a young lady before you came, but as long as you come here, you will forget your name from now on! Remember the name I gave you, for it will be the name that will be with you for the rest of your life! ”

A name that will last a lifetime?

I didn't quite understand what the man was saying and why he was so strict with our group of kids......

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's cruel to be strict......

It's just that after the arrival of the young man in white, I gradually began to understand.

It turned out that this was a training ground where everyone would be trained.

Every group of people who were trained would compete with each other and win

As for those who lost, some said they went home, some said they were transferred to another place, and I don't know exactly how.

I don't know what the point of me being trained like this, I don't even know who the black-clad masked man was that night and why he brought me here......

I wandered around aimlessly, never thinking about working hard, never thinking about winning something, but one night I came to realize my situation after I stumbled upon the girl who lived in the same room with me being dragged out and killed.

It turns out that those who lost did not leave from beginning to end, but only continued to stay here in another way, that is, death......

So, in the next few months I studied hard and worked the training ground.

For a few years, I have been living like this, gritting my teeth and licking blood on the tip of a knife.

I don't know how long I'll be here, but, I know, I don't want to die yet...... At least, I don't want to ...... right now

Five years later, when I was thirteen years old, at that time, the person who led me in the camp told everyone that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would choose one person from their batch as a personal maid to serve in the East Palace.

A personal maid? I don't quite understand that, in the past five years, although I have not seen what a maid looks like, I have also learned some things from the mouths of those children who are the same age as me.

At the very least, I know that the maid is not woken up with a whip every day before dawn, and then goes to the training ground, doing all kinds of coolies, and finally picks up the sword and points at the companions who have slept in the same room with him and whispered in a bed.

But he is here, he represents everything, and no one dares to question and deny his words.

Therefore, the time of the competition was quickly set.

I know that this time it was just a simple selection and it didn't involve the safety of my life, so I still didn't have the slightest competitive spirit as before, and I didn't have the slightest idea of fighting for any maids.

It's just that I still thought wrong.

That night, the black-clothed masked man, who had been away for more than ten years, unexpectedly appeared, and as soon as he came, he told me that if I wanted to, I had to win against everyone tomorrow and win this opportunity.

"Opportunity?" To be honest, I don't really see any chances.

Ever since my parents died, my life has been a mess, and I never had any more chances.

"Counting it, it's been five years since you entered the palace, and you haven't gone back to see your parents once, right?"

"Do you have a way to get me out?"

"I have a way to get you in, of course there's a way to get you out."

"Good! I promise you! But I'm going to have five days to ......."

The masked man in black couldn't help frowning, in fact, it would only take three days at most to go back from the palace, and with her current martial arts, it would not be a problem to go back and forth within two days.

However, she asked for three days.

I don't know where I got the courage and perseverance to do so, but I was confident that he would grant my request.

Because, tomorrow's competition, for him...... Seems to be really important!

"Good! I promise you! After saying that, he seemed to be a little angry, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I shook hands, and tomorrow, not only to him, but to myself...... It's just as important!

On the second day, I got ready early, and my martial arts should have been the lowest among all of them.

However, because I seem to be more idle than any of them, I spend my extra time studying and practicing martial arts.

So, now

In my martial arts ranking here, it should be at least the top three......

However, when the results came out, I was also intimidated by my ability......

Not only did I finish in the top three, but I also became the first person here who could go out in the open.

"Your performance today is very unexpected to me, and in the next time, they will train you as a court maid." The haunting of the masked man in black is something I'm starting to get used to.

However, that's not what I'm concerned with right now.

"And when can I go back?"

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally arrange it for you, you just need to do your own thing."

"And what should I do?"

"Go to the East Palace, protect His Royal Highness the Prince, and use your life to protect it!"

"Protecting His Highness the Crown Prince?" At that time, I didn't quite understand what he meant.

However, he later promised me and sent me home to worship my father and mother.

For three days after the service, I stayed outside the hut that had been burned by fire.

The grass grew and was desolate, and it was about to become a wasteland.

The village is also not as lively as it used to be, some people are gone, and some people are coming.

"Girl, what are you doing sitting here?" I recognized that the person was the aunt next door who often came to deliver work to my mother, but she called me girl......

In the past, she often touched my head and said to my mother, Rong Rong has been so cute since she was a child, and she will definitely be as beautiful as you when she grows up.

"No, I'm just passing by......" I couldn't help but look at the broken wood again, today is the fourth day, and I should go too.

"It's weird...... I've never seen such a girl in the village, could it be that it's from the next village? However, when you look at it, why do you feel a little familiar......"

………………………………

I stripped away from my light attire and began to put on the splendid silk satin, and the old lady of the palace pulled up my hair and painted me a delicate face.

"Wait a while, you are going to the East Palace to meet His Highness, but nothing can go wrong, remember, in front of His Highness, what you shouldn't say, you must not say more, even if Your Highness wants you to say something, you can't easily express your own opinions, you know?" Before leaving, the old woman repeatedly instructed.

I can almost memorize her words in my head, but I still feel a little reluctant to leave this place where I have lived for five years.

"Mother-in-law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... What kind of person is it? ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect me to turn around and ask her this question as I was leaving.

"Your Highness, he ...... It's a person like a white jade soft light. ”

I smiled and shook my head, white jade soft light? …… In this world, can you still find a man as gentle and kind as my father?

I didn't ask anything more, turned around and walked to the East Palace with my father-in-law who was leading the way in front.

"Slave Qiang Hong, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose......" I followed the etiquette taught by the old woman before, and I possessed a very standard court etiquette.

"Get up......" The voice, like a spring breeze in March, with warmth, swept into my heart, and my back stiffened in place, as if I didn't dare to look up to see what kind of face this warm voice His Highness would have.

I'm afraid of anticipation, so I'm afraid of disappointment.

"Do you like to kneel like that......" he laughed.

"Slaves don't like to kneel!" In desperation, I changed my quiet personality and was born to refute.

But the moment I looked up, I was completely shocked in place!
