Chapter 21
  This winter seemed to be exceptionally cold.   I was lying on the haystack in the prison, and the faint pain in my legs made me sleepless. It was my leg disease again. My stubborn disease has always been inseparable from Doctor Hu’s medicine. The medicine that Cristin put on my cuff before escaping from the palace had long been used up. Now, I was in deep pain.   Ever since I was imprisoned, Zach visited me once, but Lucille visited every other day.   She came, and naturally did nothing good, except for watching me in my miserable state and doing her best to humiliate me.   At the beginning, I was patient enough to talk to her. Over time, I didn\'t even have the desire to look at her.   This was her last resort, wasn’t it? Zach ordered to keep my life, and the prison head here always protected me intentionally or unintentionally. Even if Lucille wanted to play any tricks, she had no chance at all.   She danced happily on her own, but in my e

  I nodded, tears and snot were all over my face without knowing it.   \"But I won\'t tell you!\" Zach said in a cold tone as he stood up quickly. \"Elisa, you can’t even take care of yourself right now, I advise you to worry about yourself!\"   With that, he turned around and walked out of the cell without hesitation.   \"Let me take a closer look at you!\" he said to the guard. \"If anything happens to Concubine Lisa, you won’t be able to live!\" He walked away with resolute, just like me with a knife hidden in the cuffs that day, ready to die with him.   The head of the prison came and locked the door. When people were not paying attention, he quietly stuffed two small porcelain bottles in my hand, and then lowered his voice to me, \"My lady, there was a maid from the palace just now. I was asked to give these to you, she said you would understand after reading it.\"   A maid from the palace? Cristin?   Was she still thinking about my leg pr

  The jailer finally realized something was wrong, and hurriedly called the prison head for help.   The head of the prison intended to protect me. Seeing this situation, he didn\'t hesitate to send someone to the palace to report to Zach. He also sent someone to the Imperial Hospital for a doctor.   The chill subsided and the scorching sensation began to spread wildly in my body.   I felt that my internal organs were about to turn to ashes, and I was so uncomfortable that I was rolling on the ground. The head of the prison was walking back and forth in the corridor at a loss, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, \"What’s taking the doctor so long? Ah! My lady, hold on a little longer...\"   Then he suddenly turned to the jailer, who was also at a loss, and ordered, \"You, and you, hurry up and go!\"   Someone hesitated, \"Boss, this isn\'t it right. There’s only five of us on duty tonight. Luis and Mike have already gone. If we leave, you will be the o

  I found myself waking up in a small room.   My knee was cold, and the uncomfortable feeling on my body had disappeared, but I still felt weak.   Cristin was working on her wound with her back facing me. The long and deep wound on her shoulder was gurgling with blood and made my scalp numb.   Hearing the sound, she turned her head and saw that I was awake. She stopped tending to her wound, hurriedly pulled up her clothes and stumbled toward me, \"My lady, are you awake? How are you feeling now?\"   I wanted to get up, but I couldn\'t, so I turned my head and stared at her quietly, and asked, \"How many secrets do you have that I don\'t know?\"   The maid in charge of the dignified Showa Palace turned out to be a martial arts master with special skills, but as the master she had served for seven years, I failed to notice it at all. Was it because I was too naive? Or was she hiding it too well?   \"My lady...\" Cristin knelt on the side with tea

  I still found it hard to trust Cristin. After all, she betrayed me once. It wasn’t hard to imagine whether there will be a second or third time.   Cristin seemed to have guessed my scruples. She only lowered her head, and said, \"I know that my lady no longer trusts me, but it doesn’t matter. I will prove my intentions with my actions.\"   She declared so firmly that I couldn\'t find the right words to refute her with.   For a long time, I vaguely saw that the clothes on her shoulders had been soaked with blood, and then I remembered that the wound on her body had not been bandaged yet. I suddenly felt sorry, so I told her to go and treat her wound first.   Cristin obediently responded. She carefully tucked the quilt for me before turning around to treat her wounds.   Maybe it was because I’ve already discovered the fact that she had martial arts skills, so she didn\'t shy away from it anymore. She just took off her clothes and started to treat the

  I was awakened by a nightmare again.   In the darkness, Cristin instinctively rushed over and hugged me, \"Another bad dream?\"   I gave a soft \"hm\" as an answer.   Yes, I dreamed of it again. I dreamed that Zach found me and then strangled my neck, asking me why I betrayed him again and again.   It’s the same dream recurring every night.   \"It\'s okay, it\'s okay,\" Cristin comforted me as she patted my back while hugging me. \"He can\'t catch us. It\'s okay, my lady, don\'t be afraid.\"   She repeated these words over and over again, not so much as to comfort me but to comfort herself.   Why do I find it hard to believe that she’s scared too?   These days, we have been circling the city of Yecheng, playing hide-and-seek with officers and soldiers every day. Although we never had a direct encounter with them, there were several occasions when we almost got caught.   Besides, we couldn’t possibly hide like this forever

  I felt like I was about to lose my mind. How could I listen to Cristin\'s advice? All I could think about was how to save my brother. Whether it was a trap or not, I have to try and help him no matter what.   However, Cristin was determined to fight against me, \"I will never let you go and risk yourself!\"   She opened her hands and stood in front of me, her expression and tone were firmer than ever before. So in desperation, I drew out the sword from her body, pointed the tip at her, gritted my teeth and said, \"Step aside!\"   \"No,\" Cristin spoke affirmatively as she stared at me without squinting. \"If my lady insists on going, you would have to go over my dead body!\"   Did she just threaten me?   I smirked and took a step forward, pressing the tip of my sword against her chest, and sneered, \"Do you think I wouldn’t dare? Don\'t forget, you owe me two lives!\"   It didn’t matter who ordered the killing of my child and my brother’s chi

  The long sword in my hand fell to the ground with a loud clanging sound. I shook my head, and shouted incoherently, \"No, that’s impossible! It\'s not true! I don\'t believe it! I don\'t believe a word!\"   She said that I wasn’t Elisa Lin and that I wasn’t the daughter of the Lin family at all. She said that the real Elisa Lin was already dead.   She also said that not only she and Zach knew, but everyone in the Lin family knew about it.   If what she said was true, then how could the Lin family watch me live under Elisa Lin’s name for ten years? If what she said was true, then why did Eugene help me escape the palace regardless of the safety of the entire Lin family? If what she said was true, how could Zach keep an impostor safe and sound by his side for seven years?   If what she said was true... then who am I?   Suddenly, my head began to hurt as distorted memories quickly flashed in my mind. I wanted to catch it but I couldn’t.   Cristi

  If I had a sword in my hand right now, I would have definitely killed her without hesitation!   Unfortunately, I didn’t.   After trying everything I could to smash the door open, I was exhausted. Suddenly, the bumpy carriage ride finally stopped.   The closed carriage door was opened, and when Cristin\'s face appeared in front of me, I didn\'t even think about it, I just slapped her.   Even after slapping her firmly, she didn’t budge, and said to me respectfully, \"Please get out of the carriage.\"   I snorted coldly, ignoring the hand she stretched out to help me, and jumped down from the other side of the carriage to leave.   Cristin rushed to catch up with me and blocked my way, \"Don\'t rush to go, my lady. I will show you something. If you still insist on going after this, then I will not stop you!\"   I really hate her for being so convincing.   My brother is about to be beheaded in three days, and she still had the heart

  Night fell.   I wasn’t sure when it had started to rain.   When Cristin found a deserted thatched house and helped me in, I was already drenched.   The cold, deep-rooted chill started from the soles of my feet and quickly spread to my whole body.   Even though Cristin had helped me change my clothes and found some dried leaves to make a fire, I was still shivering with cold.   \"If I\'m not Elisa Lin, then who am I? Who am I? You know who I am, don’t you?\" I muttered over and over again as I sat on the ground with my hands around my knees.   I clutched onto Cristin like I was a drowning man desperate for air, pleading, \"You must know who I am. Tell me, who am I? Who… You have to tell me...\"   Since she knew that I was not Elisa Lin, she must also know my true identity.   \"Can you tell me who I am? Tell me…\" I felt like I was going crazy, my face was wet, I didn\'t know if it was tears or rain.   \"The servant doesn\'
