Chapter 40: Why Are You Here?

Hibiscus struggled to open his eyes, and for a moment his eyes were in a trance, before his dull brain began to work slowly.

She looked at the snow-white ceiling above, and her already groggy head was even more confused.

Is she dead or not?

Hibiscus was so tired that she closed her eyes again, rested for three breaths, and forced herself to open her eyes again. The long-term training has allowed her to not allow herself to be out of control for a long time, and it has become an instinct of her body to stay awake anytime and anywhere.

The color was still pure and delicate, even with the slightest traces of dust, it was still cleaner and brighter than the few rooms in the palace where she lived.

Hibiscus pursed her lips and rolled her eyes slowly.

Now she was in a small room, about the size of her subordinate's room, and the walls around her were the same white color.

Suddenly, Hibiscus secretly gasped, her pupils contracted slightly, and her whole body tensed. This is the vigilant action she is accustomed to when encountering danger, although there is no change in her appearance, but at this time she is dangerous and deadly, and she may burst out at any moment to strike with all her strength, destroying the enemy in a breath.

Hibiscus stared straight at the handsome man smiling on the opposite wall, and after a while, he realized that the man had remained in that posture without moving, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth and the raised eyelashes had not changed in the slightest.

Hibiscus let go of the breath he was carrying, and a heavy feeling of exhaustion came from his body, and Hibiscus closed his heavy eyelids again, resting for five breaths.

Immediately, Hibiscus gently opened his eyes and carefully examined the portrait that frightened him.

It was a strange painting, life-size, I don't know how it was drawn, and it was as realistic as if it could come out of the painting right away.

What a strange painting. But who would put a portrait of a real person on the front of the bed? When you open your eyes, won't you be scared? Just like she was at this point.

Hibiscus pursed her lips slightly, feeling slightly unhappy that she was frightened by a painting. After all, she was honed from that kind of environment, and the most important thing on weekdays is that Mount Tai collapsed in front of her and her face did not change, and she experienced countless traps, and there were no less than dozens of private affairs for the princess, and the lives in her hands had already exceeded the number of double tens. is so ruthless, she is relied on by the princess as a confidant, she is actually frightened by a portrait, if they are known by the green waves, they will definitely make fun of her for a long time.

Thinking of the princess, Hibiscus's eyes unconsciously lowered slightly.

That beautiful woman is her master.

From the time she was taken back to the Prince's Mansion by Steward Liang to train with everyone when she was three years old, she understood that she was living for this master.

After years of brutal training, the only warmth is to see the little girl smiling brightly at herself, handing herself a piece of sweet mung bean cake, and saying in a nice sweet and soft voice: "Eleven, you have to work hard." I like you a lot. You've reached eleven this time, so you must work hard to persevere. When you are among the top four, you can come to me, we go to school and play together every day, I give you any delicious food, and beautiful clothes, and I will take you out to go shopping and watch the lantern festival. You have to work hard! I've already figured out a name for you, hibiscus, it's my favorite flower, how about it, does it sound good? Do you like it or not? ”

The master's smile still appeared clearly in front of her, and the joy and emotion of being able to have a name still made her tremble all over her body even when she thought about it now.

Although it is just an ordinary name of flowers and trees, it is a name that many ordinary people will have, but for her, who has been discarded since she was a child, begging all the way to the age of three, even if she was brought back to the prince's mansion and has a stable and well-fed life, but she is still in a difficult situation, it is a luxury to have a name, no, to be precise, it is a kind of affirmation, which means that she can finally get rid of the precarious situation, and she does not have to worry that she will disappear inexplicably like the dwindling companions around her, but can be safe, Live as a human being!

Yes, just to live!

You can have a name and be shouted in a different tone, and that is her own name! It's no longer just "thirty-eight" today and "eleven" tomorrow.

With this name, she can easily bask in the sun, walk in the sun, laugh and talk with people easily, eat a safe meal, sleep a peaceful sleep, and even receive the monthly money to slowly plan for a longer life in the future.

And all of this was given to him by the master who smiled brightly and handed him a piece of sweet mung bean cake.

Hibiscus closed her eyes and calmed the waves in her heart.

She actually came back to life, could it be that the master changed his mind?

To be able to secretly save herself from such a difficult situation, the princess must have taken a huge risk, right? I wonder how she's doing now? Did Concubine Yu be angry about her disappearance? The princess's authority has been weakened a lot, and the backyard of the palace has simply become the world of the concubine, how did the princess save herself from such a mortal situation?

Stealing the day? Could it be that someone has made his own substitute for the dead?

Concubine Yu is not a fool, there are many minions under her hands, can she really produce such a big basket?

Mu Hibiscus had a great suspicion in her heart that if Concubine Yu was really so easy to fight, their princess faction would not become more and more constrained, trapped in the backyard and unable to move.

And his injuries are so serious......

Hibiscus's spinning brain paused, and there was a blank look in his eyes. This is extremely difficult to happen to her.

Hibiscus felt it hard, and her back sank into the soft bed without any pain or discomfort at all!

That's not right!

She was ordered to be scolded by Concubine Yu, the heavy sticks were handed down, and the executioner was also Concubine Yu's person, the technique was extremely old and spicy, but after a few sticks, she had been shattered in her internal organs and vomited blood.

By the moment she lost consciousness, the bones in her back had been completely shattered, how could she not feel anything from such a serious injury!

Hibiscus's eyes widened, his teeth clenched, and a terrifying thought rose in his heart, could it be that he had been beaten to a cripple? Even if he picks up a life, he has become an ignorant and unconscious waste person who can only eat and wait for death?!

Hibiscus quivered her lips and habitually raised the fingers of her right hand to rest on the veins of her left wrist.

This, this is?

Her pupils trembled, almost in disbelief!
