Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

The body felt like it was pierced by extremely hot iron, but the point where it pierced felt extremely cold, with wind blowing in continuously that scraped the bones and pricked the flesh.

Zhu Zheng lost her voice in pain, dark red and black flooded in front of her eyes, bringing a violent and sharp dizziness.

Before she fell, she heard Gong Yixiu's voice not far away.

"The forest is difficult to see, and my men were confused and stupid. They were anxious to shoot the wolf, but they ended up hurting Miss Zhu..."

Zhu Zheng wanted to sneer when he heard this, but he couldn't even move the corners of his lips.

"Zheng'er!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry exploded in my ears.

It's my sister's voice.

She heard her elder sister’s voice…

Zhu Zheng looked up, and balls of goose-feather-like snow fell on her face. She had no idea that everything around her had turned into a vast expanse of snow, and the black flags were fluttering in the cold wind.

Her hands and feet were tied tightly, and she knelt in the snow, but she didn't feel the cold at all.

"I have heard for a long time that the two beauties of the Zhu family are both extremely beautiful, but they are kept in seclusion."

"I got to see the second one today, and it really lives up to its reputation."

It was still Gong Yixiu's voice.

The blizzard that covered the sky made it almost impossible to see. Gong Yixiu, who was sitting high on his horse, had his face covered by black armor, and only a pair of eyes that were exposed revealed an evil look.

The guards behind him were whispering openly.

"The Zhu family should be purged of such pests!"

The voices grew louder and louder, almost turning into a condemnation. Gong Yixiu watched coldly, without any intention of stopping it.

Until a white shadow stepped forward and its slender body knelt down in the snow.

"Zhu Qing begs the Second Prince to keep his word. The mansion has confiscated all the family property. You promised to let the innocent people go."

Gong Yixiu pulled the reins lightly, and the horse's hooves splashed up snow and mud, which fell all over Zhu Dan's thin skirt.

"Qingqing called the wrong name again." He said frivolously, his eyes cold, "It's Your Majesty."

Zhu Qing lowered his head and changed his words calmly, "Your Majesty."

"But listen, everyone in the court is asking me to sacrifice blood to purge the harsh." Gong Yixiu laughed coldly, "Today I must leave one person behind... Perhaps, would you two sisters be willing to recommend one of yourselves?"

Zhu Qing knocked heavily on the ground without hesitation, "Zhu Qing is honored to serve your majesty's great cause. I beg your majesty to let my little sister go."

"You keep asking for death, do you want to reunite with him in the underworld?" Gong Yixiu suddenly stopped smiling, raised Zhu Qing's chin with an arrow, and said through gritted teeth, "I will not let you have your wish."

"Your Majesty, I will kill you or chop you up, no doubt about it." Zhu Qing ignored his words and continued to kowtow to the ground with an expressionless face, "Please let my little sister go."

Gong Yixiu then pointed the arrow downwards, and the sharp black iron blade slowly ripped the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

Zhu Qing still had a calm look on her face, as if she had lost all hope. No matter what he said or did, she just kept kowtowing until her forehead was bleeding, and she only repeated one sentence.

"Your Majesty, please let me go."

"trouble."

Gong Yixiu's face finally showed some boredom. He waved his hand to signal his guards to untie the ropes on Zhu Zheng's hands and feet.

Zhu Zheng did not move, but looked up at Gong Yixiu.

Seeing that she didn't move, Zhu Qing crawled over from the snow and hugged her tightly, "Zheng'er, you go first. He won't kill me. Sister will definitely go find you. I promise, okay, I promise..."

Zhu Zheng stared at Zhu Qing blankly and gave him a long look.

"Sister." She moved her lips, "I miss you so much..."

Zhu Zheng's thoughts were so blank that her eyes were sore and painful.

She knew she was dreaming, a nightmare that she had almost every night.

The dream was just a replay of the past, and death was already certain.

No matter how hard she ran, she would be pierced through the heart by an arrow shot by Gong Yixiu. This was the ending that was written in her previous life.

The wind and snow were howling, and the faces of the people around were blurred, sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes big, sometimes small.

An idea suddenly occurred to Zhu Zheng.

Was everything that happened the day before just her last minute fantasy? There is no such thing as a rebirth in this world...

As if she had never walked out of this snowy night, Zhu Zheng stretched out her hand in her sister's arms, and a snowflake fell into her palm and melted away in a moment.

She smiled bitterly.

Suddenly the wind blew up, sweeping up everything around and scattering it into pieces like snow.

Zhu Zheng closed her eyes, and her body suddenly became very light, floating lightly in the clouds. A group of white birds flew out from the clouds and sang around her.

She swung back and forth until she landed on a tree.

This is a huge green tangerine tree, which grows extremely lush and bears abundant fruits.

There is another Zhu Zheng on the tree.

She was wearing a blue floral skirt and was jumping up and down among the branches, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

The hem of her skirt was filled with round, green-skinned fruits. Zhu Zheng stepped on the branches to reach the yellow-skinned fruit on the distant branch.

Unexpectedly, his foot slipped, he lost his balance, and fell headfirst from the tree.

Just as she was terrified and thought she was about to fall face down on the ground, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and caught her steadily.

The green tangerines crackled and hit the two men on the head.

Zhu Zheng touched her head which was hurt by the collision and hurriedly thanked the person before she could even stand firmly. When she looked up, she saw that the person who caught her was actually a child.

She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long hair tied into a simple long braid, dressed in black from head to toe, and a pair of very beautiful phoenix eyes on her heroic little face.

She's still a little girl.

"You have great strength." Zhu Zheng admired sincerely.

The little girl in black didn't smile, and there was no expression on her face. She put her on the ground and brushed the leaves off her sleeves neatly.

"Thank you so much." Zhu Zheng thanked again.

The little girl still didn't say anything and bent down to pick up the green oranges scattered on the ground.

Zhu Zheng also hurried to pick them up. After she had finally picked them up, she saw that the little girl had left one in her hand and stared at it for a long time.

Zhu Zheng understood, "Little sister, do you want to eat?"

"No." She turned and left.

How cruel...

"Got it!" Zhu Zheng was unwilling to give up and tentatively threw a green tangerine over.

The little girl reacted incredibly quickly, as if she had eyes on her back, and she caught it without even looking back.

"Good skills!" Zhu Zheng clapped her hands in praise, and said to her with a smile, "Try it, it's very sweet."

The little girl didn't even move her eyebrows as she looked down at the green fruit in her hand.

Seeing this, Zhu Zheng trotted forward, peeled the tangerine, took out a slice and held it to her mouth.

"Just give it a try."

Perhaps she didn't expect Zhu Zheng to be so difficult to deal with. The girl looked at her cautiously, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist Zhu Zheng's kindness and opened her mouth.

Zhu Zheng was finally satisfied and put a clove into her mouth.

As soon as it entered my mouth, it felt like I was drinking a mouthful of aged vinegar, so sour that my whole body twitched.

It seems that it was picked too early.

Zhu Zheng grinned for a long time, and the little girl's icy brows were wrinkled together, but her voice was still quite calm.

"You're a liar," she stated.

"Sorry, I didn't know it was so sour." Zhu Zheng finally recovered and couldn't help laughing, "Little sister, you and I are destined to be together. We share the same taste and sweetness. From now on, we will be friends."

The little girl stood in the shade of the tree, waiting for the sour smell to pass, and her little face returned to its grim expression.

"Can you give me another one?"

Zhu Zheng was surprised, "You still want to eat?"

She shook her head, "Take it back."

Zhu Zheng understood immediately. She was also planning to bring a few back to her sister, and would invite her sister to "share the sweetness and taste" at that time.

Zhu Zheng threw another green tangerine to the girl in black, who caught it firmly. She put it into her sleeve and turned to leave.

"Little sister, what's your name?" Zhu Zheng asked from behind.

She turned around and stared at Zhu Zheng for a long time, seeming to be hesitant.

"An Fengxue."

"An Fengxue." Zhu Zheng repeated it. "It's a nice name. Were you born in winter?"

"No."

"Oh. My name is A Zheng."

"Can you play the zither?"

"will not."

"..."

"..."

The two were silent for a moment.

"But I can fly a kite..." Zhu Zheng added.

The little girl named An Fengxue said "hmm" and continued walking out without saying goodbye.

Zhu Zheng had no choice but to shout from behind, "Feng Xue, I come here at the end of every month, you can come and play with me in the future."

She said "hmm" again, and her figure quickly disappeared outside the door.

Also disappearing was Zhu Zheng who was under the tree.

Only Zhu Zheng, who was like a visitor, was left on the tree, sitting quietly.

She had already accepted that she was dreaming, but she didn't know why she was here.

This was just an ordinary day in her memory, so ordinary that she could hardly remember it.

This place is called Pingshui Lane.

There were five or six families living there, including a butcher who sold meat, the blacksmith Zhang Sheng, the silversmith Hu Erqing, and the owners of the green tangerine tree, Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen.

The old couple had a son whose nickname was Amao. He had just joined the army as a new soldier and often asked Zhu Zheng to help him write letters home.

When she got tired of being the Fourth Miss Zhu, she would choose to hide here.

Here, she had a new identity, Xiao Azhen, the new apprentice from the cloth shop.

Zhu Zheng also has a little white cat named Huhu.

A little yellow dog named Tu Tu.

Huhu was licking the hair on her belly, Tutu was sniffing a passing black dog, and a little girl she met on the roadside was tricked by her into eating an unripe tangerine, and her wrinkled nose twitched like a little rabbit.

The sky in the distance was clear blue, with two round, plump clouds floating on the horizon. The shadows under the green tangerine tree looked like silver fish scales.

What a great day.

Good things make people linger.

Zhu Zheng looked at the smoke rising from the kitchen in the distance. The only sound around her was the wind. Her eyelids felt heavy and she suddenly wanted to sleep for a while...

"Zhu Zheng!"

An extremely loud voice penetrated her dream and overlapped with the residual sound in her ears, startling Zhu Zheng and opening her eyes under the tree.

This voice doesn't sound like Ajie's, but it sounds somewhat familiar...

Zhu Zheng's thoughts were in great chaos, and she couldn't distinguish them clearly. The voice seemed to be very far away, and soon drifted away into the endless darkness.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

The scenery of Pingshui Lane quickly moved away from her. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab something, but she slipped and fell into the darkness, falling heavily into the void.

My consciousness became increasingly blurred. When only a trace of awareness remained, I felt as if I was held tightly in an embrace, and I could even smell the faint scent of cold plum blossoms.

But the man who was holding her was quite unstable. His hands were shaking from time to time, but he was very strong and held Zhu Zheng so tightly that her whole body ached.

Her steps were weak and she stumbled, which made her internal organs feel uncomfortable. She felt as if she was dying...

...Oh, yes.

She remembered.

She is going to die...
