Lin Yingxue inadvertently ran into Xiaocui on the street. She was passing by a remote alley, and the young woman named Xiaocui was dressed in tatters, and her face was yellow and thin, and she looked like a malnourished beggar.

At that time, Xiao Cui was squatting unkempt in the alley, and the situation was very bad - because there was another group of strong ruffians in the alley, trying to snatch a jade pendant from Xiao Cui.

The law of the jungle eats the strong, such things can be seen everywhere in the imperial city, Lin Yingxue felt a little sympathetic in her heart, but she didn't plan to stop. She just glanced at it casually and planned to leave, but when she swept it over, she inadvertently found that the jade pendant that the woman desperately wanted to protect seemed to be worth a lot of money, and it seemed that this jade pendant should be very important to the female beggar, otherwise the female beggar would have taken the jade pendant to exchange for silver, and it would not have attracted the attention of the ruffians in the city because she had been wearing the jade pendant on her body.

Just as Lin Yingxue was thinking, those ruffians saw that the female beggar was pinching the jade pendant and refused to let go, and they were afraid that the action would be too much to break the jade pendant, so several people glanced at each other, and a ruthless color flashed on someone's face, and then the person took out a dagger from his waist, and looked like he wanted to cut off the female beggar's hand directly!

"Leng Yue, do it." Lin Yingxue couldn't stand it anymore when she saw this, so she looked back at Leng Yue beside her with a cold face.

Leng Yue suddenly understood, walked in front of the group of ruffians in three or two steps, and grabbed his wrist before the man who did it could do it.

"Ahh The man who was grabbed by the wrist only felt as if his hand was caught in a pair of iron tongs, and it felt as if his bones were about to be crushed by the person in front of him. He screamed in pain, and even the facial features on his face became distorted by the pain.

"Where did you come from, little girl, you dare to take care of the affairs of your master, I think you are impatient!" Seeing this, several other ruffians hurriedly shouted and rushed towards Leng Yue.

Seeing this, Leng Yue's eyes swept away, and she knocked down the few people who rushed over without even changing her face, and those people didn't even see how Leng Yue made a move, so they fell to the ground one by one and wailed in pain.

"Don't get out of here!" Lin Yingxue stepped forward and let out a low shout, and when the ruffians saw that they were not Leng Yue's opponents, they looked at the jade pendant in Xiao Cui's hand with some unwillingness, and then quickly got up and ran away without a trace.

"Are you alright?" Lin Yingxue personally squatted down to help the female beggar up, the female beggar looked up at Lin Yingxue timidly, and saw that Lin Yingxue was dressed luxuriously, Xu was afraid that the ashes and blood stains on her body would stain Lin Yingxue's clothes, so as soon as she stood up, she quickly withdrew her hand, and took two steps back to separate some distance from Lin Yingxue.

"I'm fine, thank you Miss for saving me!" The female beggar bowed deeply to Lin Yingxue twice as she spoke.

"Little things." Lin Yingxue saw that the female beggar's injury didn't seem to be very serious, and she was relieved, "This is some silver for you, which can solve your food and clothing for a few days, and you yourself should pay attention to it in the past few days, you have such a precious jade pendant on your body, and those gangsters will look for you sooner or later." ”

As Lin Yingxue spoke, she took out some broken silver from the money bag and stuffed it into the female beggar's hand.

The female beggar didn't want to take it at first, and after hesitating for a while, she held the broken silver in her hand, "Thank you......" looked up and saw that Lin Yingxue seemed to be leaving, and the female beggar hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Miss, slow down, I want to ask for directions!" ”

The female beggar was in a hurry, and directly reached out and grabbed Lin Yingxue's wrist, and at the same time, Leng Yue's knife-like gaze also swept over, the female beggar was startled, and quickly took her hand back, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......" Seeing that there was an extra dirty handprint on Lin Yingxue's good clothes, the female beggar's expression couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

"It's okay, where do you want to go?" Lin Yingxue glanced at her soiled sleeves lightly, and her expression did not change in any way because of this.

"I ...... I want to go to King Zhao's mansion......" The female beggar said hesitantly, "I also asked other people in the city, but they all said they didn't know......"

"King Zhao?" Lin Yingxue repeated these two words, and there was a puzzled look on her face, and when Leng Yue on the side saw this, she hurriedly leaned into Lin Yingxue's ear and whispered something, and Lin Yingxue showed a trace of understanding on her face.

"King Zhao has passed away many years ago, what are you looking for King Zhao to do?" Lin Yingxue carefully began to look at the woman in front of her, only to see that although the woman was embarrassed, she could still see that the face of the person in front of her was delicate, and although the eyes of the person in front of her were a little flickering, there was a little perseverance in her expression...... All in all, although she is not a top girl, she also has some merits.

However, after listening to Lin Yingxue's words, the woman's face quickly darkened, "...... Is it...... I'm already dead......" The woman muttered to herself, her expression full of disappointment.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue was a little curious, "What is the relationship between you and King Zhao, why are you looking for King Zhao?" ”

Seeing Lin Yingxue staring at her with a puzzled expression, the woman hesitated for a moment before saying: "This matter is a long story, in short, I was entrusted by a sister to come to her father, she said that her father is King Zhao, and said that as long as I show this jade pendant to the people of King Zhao's mansion, they will give me some benefits...... Who knows......"

As the woman spoke, she sat down on the ground in despair, "Wan'er, I've done my best, but your father has died, don't blame me, I can't keep this jade pendant, I can only treat it as a ...... when the time comes" The woman said this, and her eyes suddenly lit up again.

She got up from the ground with a bone, and walked to Lin Yingxue's side and pleaded: "This young lady, you are a good person, I think you might as well buy my jade pendant, Wan'er said that this jade pendant is very valuable!" You won't lose anything if you buy it! ”

The woman held the jade pendant in her hand, her face full of hope.

Lin Yingxue took the jade pendant with a puzzled look and looked at it, it is indeed as the woman said, the jade pendant has a good texture, but there are many good things in her room, and there is no shortage of this jade pendant.

Just as Lin Yingxue was about to return the jade pendant to the woman, Leng Yue leaned into Lin Yingxue's ear and whispered: "Master, Prince Zhao had a daughter named Murong Wan'er when he was middle-aged, but he was abducted when he was four years old. ”

It is unknown whether this jade pendant is the jade pendant written on the notice, but since the woman in front of her is holding this jade pendant to help the owner of the jade pendant recognize her relatives, then the matter here has to be investigated deeply.

"Come with me." Lin Yingxue looked around, "It's inconvenient to talk, I'll take you to the inn first." ”

"Good!" When the woman saw that there was a door, she finally had a smile on her face.

After Lin Yingxue took the woman to the inn to settle down, she learned from the woman's mouth that the owner of this jade pendant is seventeen this year, named Zhang Wan'er, but this surname was changed with that family after Zhang Wan'er was abducted to that family's house, and no one knows Zhang Wan'er's original surname.

“…… I am the maid ring of that family, my name is Xiaocui, and Wan'er is about the same age, when Wan'er passed, she cried and made trouble all day long, saying that she was the county lord, but no one believed it, and then she was beaten and scolded several times by the adopted master's family, so I never heard Wan'er say it again......"

"Originally, Wan'er was sent to Zhang's house to do the same hard work as me, but later, when the young owner saw that Wan'er was born beautifully, they ...... Only...... In short, Wan'er suffered more than me, and the young owner originally wanted Wan'er to be a concubine, but the owner didn't say that Wan'er was too beautiful to accept this concubine, so Wan'er has been doing the work of a subordinate, and she is often beaten and scolded by the young lady......"

"It's been more than ten years like this, Wan'er's health has never been very good, and she still didn't hold it up some time ago...... Went to ...... Before she died, Wan'er said that she didn't want to see me end up in the future, so she gave me this jade pendant and asked me to come to the imperial city to find relatives, saying that she would give this jade pendant to the people of Zhaowangfu, and the people of Zhaowangfu would definitely not treat me badly......"

So Xiaocui escaped from Zhang's house with this jade pendant and trekked to the imperial city, but unexpectedly, Prince Zhao and Princess Zhao passed away one after another in two years after the county lord Wan'er was abducted, and now not many people know about King Zhao.
