Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

At the gate of Lu's house, a carriage slowly stopped, and Xie Qingrou helped Shi Liu get out of the carriage. She looked a little dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

Entering the Lu Mansion, Xie Qingrou went straight to her own courtyard, Roufeng Pavilion. Along the way, she kept thinking about every word the woman said, especially the sentence: "If the news leaks out, Qingqing's life will be in danger!" This sentence was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting her heart.

As soon as she entered the room, Xie Qingrou collapsed on the bed with empty eyes. Shi Liu felt distressed when she saw this, but she didn't know how to comfort her. After a while, Xie Qingrou suddenly raised her head and said to Shi Liu, "Shi Liu, quietly call the adults over."

Shi Liu nodded and turned away in a hurry. After a while, Lu Zhi sneaked to Roufeng Pavilion. He gently pushed open the door and saw Xie Qingrou sitting at the table with a pale face, her eyes revealing endless fear and worry.

Lu Zhi walked to Xie Qingrou and asked softly, "Rou'er, what's wrong?"

Xie Qingrou trembled her lips and choked, "Master, after I left, the woman told me not to let the news leak out, otherwise Qingqing's life would be in danger." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Lu Zhi quickly embraced Xie Qingrou in his arms and comforted her, "Rou'er, don't worry, everything will be fine. Did the woman tell you how to save Qingqing?"

Xie Qingrou shook her head and cried, "No... She told us to wait in the mansion in three days... Wuuuuu... Master, I'm really scared. I only have Qingqing as my daughter."

Lu Zhi hugged Xie Qingrou tightly and patted her back gently, trying to give her some strength and courage. However, his heart was also full of worry and uneasiness.

"Don't be afraid, Rou'er, I will definitely protect you and your daughter." Lu Zhi said firmly.

Xie Qingrou stopped crying a little, raised her head and looked at Lu Zhi, her eyes full of pleading: "Master, please save Qingqing."

Lu Zhi nodded and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will try my best. But before that, we must do as the woman says and must not act rashly."

Lu Zhi and Xie Qingrou spent the next two days in anxiety. They kept an eye on the movements in the mansion, expecting the mysterious woman to appear again.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, a black carriage stopped at the gate of the Lu Mansion. The door opened and a woman wearing a veil got out of the carriage. She walked straight into the mansion and came to the Roufeng Pavilion.

"You did a good job and didn't leak any information." The woman's voice came coldly.

Lu Zhi and Xie Qingrou looked at each other and were secretly delighted.

"Now, come with me to see Lu Qingqing." The woman turned and walked out. Lu Zhi and Xie Qingrou hurriedly followed, feeling uneasy.

The group came to a small house in the backyard of the Lu Mansion. The woman pushed open the door, and Lu Zhi and Xie Qingrou walked in impatiently. There was a bed in the room, and lying on the bed was Qingqing who was unconscious.

Xie Qingrou quickly ran over and hugged Lu Qingqing in her arms, hugging her tightly, her voice trembling: "Qingqing, Qingqing, mother is here, father is here too. Qingqing!"

Looking at her lifeless daughter in front of her, Xie Qingrou felt heartbroken and couldn't stop crying.

"Qingqing, what happened? Why did it become like this?" Lu Zhi looked at his daughter lying on the bed and asked the woman anxiously. His eyes were full of worry and confusion, and he had no idea what was going on.

"I took a fake death drug and then changed out." The woman answered simply and clearly. She didn't seem surprised by the situation, but seemed very calm.

Hearing this explanation, Xie Qingrou's heart tightened, and she immediately asked, "Fake death medicine? Is it life-threatening?" Her voice was filled with obvious anxiety and uneasiness. After all, for a mother, the safety of her child is always the most important issue.

The woman smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, ma'am. This is just a drug that makes a person temporarily lose signs of life, but they are not actually dead. As long as the effect of the drug wears off, they will wake up naturally." Her tone was relaxed, as if this was not a big deal.

However, Xie Qingrou was still a little worried and couldn't help asking again: "When will he wake up?" She stared at the woman, hoping to get a definite answer.

"Well... maybe he will regain consciousness in three or four hours." The woman thought for a moment and gave a rough time frame. Then, she continued, "However, I estimate that the Minister of Justice will send someone to inform you tomorrow morning that Lu Qingqing died in prison."

"Ah? Does that mean Qingqing can't show up again?" Xie Qingrou widened her eyes and asked in astonishment. She didn't expect things to develop to this point, and her heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
