Heroine Saves A Gentleman

The most unique part is that normal people couldnt sense the fragrance, but a specially trained hunting dog would be able to. This is our Yu Familys special trick used exclusively by spies.

Yu Xingyong glanced afar and said, I already ordered someone to carefully follow them, but those people are on high alert. Fifth brother is also in their hands, so we cant be too close in case we startle them.

Right now, a clear female voice rang from the weeds. Who has Xingzhi?

Cheng Shizhao was shocked. Who was able to conceal themselves and approach them that closely without anyone noticing them?

The subordinates all unsheathed their words and shouted, Whos there?! Come out!

From the weeds, a woman walked out.

That woman had fair white skin with bright straight and wet hair hanging behind her shoulders.

Coming out of the dark silent night, she wore a baggy dress and she walked bare feet.

Peoples instinct was that she was an evildoer or a devil.

Its me, Your Highness, elder brother. That woman touched her chin and said a bit distressed, Im Xiaoxiao.

Cheng Shizhao glanced at her familiar gaze, action, and tone. However, he didnt recognize her face.

He said doubtfully, Youyou are lying.

Yu Xingyong interrupted, You said that youre our sister-in-law. How can you prove that?

How do I prove it? Zhou Xiaoxiao tilted her head.

Right! She lifted a finger and said to Cheng Shizhao, When we were at Fengxiang, you told me that theres nothing good about the duke residence. Your princess consort

Cheng Shizhao covered her mouth, his face flushed. He turned around to say to Yu Xingyong, Elderelder brother, she might really be our sister-in-law.

In the dusky prison where prisoners were submerged in water, half the water was contaminated and dirty while walls surrounded all four corners.

There was an extremely small window at the tip, shining a weak light onto the pitch-black surface of the water.

The dust rose under the light beam. It was probably the only lively thing in this gloomy and cold prison cell.

Half of Yu Xingzhis body was soaked in water and he was tied to a thick wooden pillar by steel chains.

His face was pale and his lips were cracked. He stared at the faint light beam on the surface of the water, in a daze.

An old jailor opened the prison door and walked down from the wet stairs, carrying a bowl of clear water and a steamed bun.

He bent down by the water and delivered the steamed bun to Yu Xingzhis lips.

He robotically took a few bites before closing his eyes and shaking his head.

That old jailor advised, General Yu, please take a few more bites. No matter how strong your body is, you cant last long if you dont eat or drink.

Seeing that he closed his eyes and said nothing, the old jailor sighed and left.

Yu Xingzhi tightly shut his eyes and thought: Xiaoxiao, ever since that day, you didnt come find me. Are youyou

A drop of tear fell down his face and landed on the black and muddy water, rippling.

A pair of soft lips gently kissed his face and the tear stains.

Yu Xingzhi suddenly opened his eyes and happiness filled his heart.

He hoarsely called out towards the empty prison, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, is it you?

His voice echoed in the spacious prison, but no one responded to him.

Yet, another gentle kiss landed on his cracked lips, giving him the answer he longed for and comforted his almost crumbling heart.

The warm tears in his eyes flowed down his cheeks.

Drop after drop landed on the water and splashed.

Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, youre fine. Youre fine!

He felt a gentle finger lightly writing a few words on his chest.

Hold on. Xingzhi, wait for me.

Im back.
