Since things had come to this, no matter how Hong Xiu lamented Liu Ruyun's miserable fate, she had no choice but to follow Zhao Yuqing's instructions and bring the bowl of medicine that was considered to be poisonous to Liu Ruyun.

It was noon, and the sun was shining warmly on Liu Ruyun's bed. Liu Ruyun's sickly face was also plastered with a layer of warmth. If it wasn't for the fact that she was unaware, she might have thought that it was some young miss who was taking a nap in the afternoon.

Hong Xiu looked through the half-closed door at Liu Ruyun obediently lying on the bed. The hand holding the medicine bowl was still somewhat hesitant.

"Quickly enter, otherwise, you must know what your fate is." One of the menacing maidservants pushed Hong Xiu away.

Hong Xiu staggered and nearly spilled the medicine in her hand. She quickly stabilized her body and nodded. Calming her nerves, she pushed open the door with one hand.

Liu Ruyun, who was pretending to be asleep, narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly the moment she heard the door being opened.

It was Hong Xiu.

When Liu Ruyun smelled the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance permeating the air, she immediately understood.

This was probably the prescription Yuan Yi gave Zhao Yuqing that day. However, if she didn't hear wrongly, then she heard quite a lot of poison from Zhao Yuqing's muttering.

Liu Ruyun changed her mind. Since this Yuan Yi was mentioned by man in black, it definitely wouldn't harm her. It sounds like poison, and I'm afraid there's something more to it.

Therefore, just as Hong Xiu was about to feed Liu Ruyun the medicine, Liu Ruyun struggled symbolically for a few moments before obediently drinking the entire bowl of medicine.

Liu Ruyun took the chance to take a peek at Hong Xiu's face while she was randomly wiping away her clothes. Sigh, she originally thought that this girl would be a powerful assistant, but she didn't expect that the person closest to her would actually harm her the most.

In the past few days, Liu Ruyun had been recalling fragments again and again. She vaguely felt that the reason she was in Zhao Mansion was because of this girl, but she still wasn't able to connect those fragments together.

Liu Ruyun patted her head and smiled foolishly at Hong Xiu.

With a pale face, Hong Xiu forced out a smile and hastily put away the medicine bowl. She didn't dare to stay any longer and hastily left.

Liu Ruyun sat there blankly on the bed as if no one was around, giggling foolishly for a while. When she glanced outside the window and saw that the black shadow had disappeared, she retracted the smile on her face, wiped off the leftover medicinal dregs with her hand, and walked to the bed barefooted. She then poured herself a cup of cold tea from the already cold teapot on the table and drank it all in one gulp to dilute the taste of the medicine in her mouth.

"As expected."

A clear and cold male voice rang out. Liu Ruyun frowned, but her hand holding the teacup could not help but tighten.

Who was it? Why didn't she feel anything? When did you get here?

Liu Ruyun was slightly flustered, but she couldn't help but be annoyed at herself for being careless for a moment.

A figure jumped in through the half-open window. His footsteps were light and gentle, without the slightest sound.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you." The man seemed to have noticed Liu Ruyun's nervousness and immediately made his stand clear.

"You are …" Liu Ruyun had just turned her head when she recognized the person in front of her.

"Yuan Yi." Yuan Yi said plainly. "I don't know. Do you remember me?"

Yuan Yi's hands were trembling slightly behind his back. Even he himself did not know what he was nervous about, or what he was looking forward to.

Hearing her tone, Liu Ruyun knew that the man had seen through her act of pretending to be crazy. Therefore, she decided not to hide it anymore.

"I remember you." Liu Ruyun answered. How could she not remember this man? This man was her lifeline.

"That medicine …"

Since Yuan Yi was already here, Liu Ruyun directly said what she was thinking.

"I heard that there are quite a few poisons in the recipe of that medicine, and since you can already tell that I'm pretending to be crazy, then what is the use of these medicines?"

Yuan Yi walked forward a few steps and carefully sniffed the air that was filled with the smell of medicine.

"At least they're honest. This medicinal formula was passed down from my ancestors. Actually, it's only used to refine the body, and is harmless to the body." If I boil the medicine according to the prescription, it will definitely be a good medicine. " Yuan Yi didn't say anything wrong, but if those people modified the prescription a little, it would be extremely poisonous.

"Who sent you?" Liu Ruyun suddenly said. "Who is that person?"

After saying this, both of them fell silent.

After a long while, Yuan Yi said in confusion, "No one sent me, I was just …" Yuan Yi felt that he had overlooked something. He, why did he want to come to this place? He seemed to have no memory of this matter.

"Why do you ask?" Yuan Yi stared at Liu Ruyun in front of him, unable to refute her.

Liu Ruyun, on the other hand, seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. Her eyes were completely lifeless. Only after hearing Yuan Yi's question did she slowly come to her senses.

"Oh, I don't know either. It's probably the side effects of this disease." As he spoke, he couldn't help but sit down on the table and rub his head.

Yuan Yi didn't know why he asked that. It seemed to be a question that had been bothering her for a long time, but when she asked it, she didn't know why she asked it.

"You're tired too. Rest early." Yuan Yi disappeared in a flash.

Liu Ruyun no longer cared about Yuan Yi. She was completely dazed as she directly fell asleep on the table.

"Such a disobedient girl." A faint voice sounded. Liu Ruyun rubbed her eyes and opened them in a daze. She found herself in an unfamiliar room.

"Where is this? Who exactly are you?" Liu Ruyun raised her eyes and looked around, sizing up the surroundings.

"Heh, looks like it's time to let you regain your memories."

Liu Ruyun couldn't see anyone at all. She could only listen to the sounds coming from somewhere in her ear as she looked around vigilantly.

A gust of wind blew past. Liu Ruyun sensed that she had caught a whiff of a strange fragrance, and then she lost consciousness.

"Elder sister, elder sister, let's go out together."

"Shh, keep your voice down. If dad and mom hear it, none of us can get out."

"Oh."

Two girls with pigtails were huddled up in a corner, carefully looking into the distance.

What was even more astonishing was that the two girls looked exactly the same. However, if they were to be identified, they could be identified in an instant. Although the two girls looked similar, their auras were completely different.
