The spring is cold and cold. The Baiyu River is mixed with unmelted snow and broken ice. It winds and twists and turns down the majestic Baiyu Mountain.

A female nun in gray robes and a gray hat was sitting on a protruding stone by the stream downstream, beating a gray robe. Next to her was a pile of half-used old nuns.

The wooden basin was full of messy gray and white clothes.

The stream is gurgling and the clothes are beaten. This is Qiu Liyue's life now. Since the fifth prince Nalan Ye failed to raise an army, she was sent to Baiyu Temple and suffered torture and abuse every day.

"Sister!" A voice as gentle as a warbler came from behind her.

Qiu Liyue looked back and saw Qiu Lixing, wearing a purple mink fur cloak, standing behind her at some point.

The surprise on Qiu Liyue's face flashed across her face, her rough hands covered with chilblains rubbed randomly on the half-wet gray robe, she clasped her hands on her chest and said in a hoarse voice, "Poor, poor nun has seen the crown princess!"

"

Qiu Lixing curled up the corner of her mouth and said with a smile as bright as a spring flower, "Sister, I'm here to ask you for help. I wonder if I can make it easier for you?"

Qiu Liyue glanced at this beautiful woman in confusion, what else could she do? Isn't it just for her and the Qiu family that she lives in such humiliation? Although the position of the crown prince has not yet been determined, her position as the crown princess has.

Already seated? What else can she do to help her?

Qiu Lixing ignored the confusion on Qiu Liyue's face and said, "Forsythia! Qingqiao!"

Forsythia stood beside Qiu Lixing with a long-mouthed copper pot in her hand. Qingqiao walked towards Qiu Liyue step by step. An inexplicable sense of crisis lingered in her heart, and Qiu Liyue stepped back with panic on her face, "You

,what are you up to?"

Qiu Lixing sighed, raised her left hand, and a light red butterfly mark was about to fly on the jade wrist, "If I want to blame it, I can only blame your birthmark!"

As Qiu Lixing spoke, she put her right hand on her left wrist and pulled hard, and the pale red butterfly mark disappeared.

Qiu Liyue looked at all this with wide eyes, her head buzzing? How could this happen? How could this happen? Her birthmark was actually fake?

At this moment when she was in a daze, Qingqiao had already walked behind her, grabbed her left hand, and pulled open the gray sleeve in disgust. A butterfly-shaped hand could still be faintly seen on the hand that was almost covered with frostbite.

birthmark.

Qiu Liyue's heart was in turmoil. The heartbreaking pain in her hand made her come back to her senses. She saw Forsythia holding a copper pot and watering her left hand. The water poured out along the long and thin mouth of the copper pot.

Immediately, a large steaming mist rose, and the water in the copper pot turned out to be boiling water!

Heart-gnawing pain instantly passed from her left hand into her heart. She struggled desperately, but her weak body could not break free from Qingqiao's grasp.

"Ah--" Before she could even utter her heart-rending cry, Forsythia slapped her back in the stomach with two extremely loud slaps, and her bloody teeth flew out of her mouth.

It hurt! It hurt! It hurt! The boundless pain entered from her left hand and overwhelmed her whole body and mind. Finally, her vision went dark and she fainted.

"Miss!" Forsythia looked at Qiu Liyue who was so soft that she fell to the ground, and then looked at Qiu Lixing.

Qiu Lixing raised her hand, which showed a transparent and sparkling pink color in the sunlight, "Wake her up."

The bone-chilling chill pulled Qiu Liyue back from the darkness. Her eyelashes were trembling and before she could open her eyes, she felt another pain on her face. When she tried to open her eyes, she saw a green and curled eye.

The green satin fish and lotus embroidered shoes were stepping on her face, while Forsythia raised the copper pot in her hand with a smile on her lips.

"Why, why? Mother..." The splash of boiling water interrupted her subsequent words. Qiu Liyue didn't understand why? She and Qiu Lixing were not only sisters, they were also twins.

How could she do this to her?

"Mother?" Qiu Lixing laughed happily, "Mother is my mother, not yours. According to my wishes, I should have let you go to your mother earlier, but my mother said that would be too tolerant to you.

Yes, so..."

Qiu Liyue's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe everything the woman in front of her said. Ever since she was a child, her mother had loved her very much. She would give her whatever she wanted without blinking an eye. She didn't want to imitate women.

Hong, mother said yes! She didn’t want to learn the common people’s work, mother said yes! She beat and scolded the maid, bullied the concubine, mother said she did the right thing! Even if she wanted to exchange names with the woman in front of her, mother said it was no problem...

"Idiot, don't you know there is a word called Peng Sha?" Qiu Lixing obviously saw through Qiu Liyue's thoughts, "From the moment you exchanged names with me, everything was doomed."

"Do you know why Chu Junfeng refused to marry? It's because I showed a little bit of admiration for him," Qiu Lixing said more and more proudly, "Do you know why the fifth prince is trying to please you? It's because of me

I made a bet with you..."

Qiu Liyue's eyes were about to burst, and a mouthful of blood spurted out! Why? What was all this for? Her mother told her that if she died, the emperor would let the entire Qiu family be buried with her, so she lived in such humiliation, but the woman in front of her

That cheerful smile doesn't look fake, why is that?

Praise? Yes, since she was a child, her mother has been very strict with her, but she has indulged herself in every possible way. She is the most beautiful woman in the capital, the most talented woman, and the Princess Mingyue bestowed by the emperor. But she is the most popular person in the entire capital.

joke……

She wants to laugh, but can't. She wants to cry, but can't...

At this moment, she could no longer feel the pain in her hand, because her heart was dead and she was filled with hatred, but this was too aggrieved and she could not let go of the hatred. Looking at the woman who was gradually in a trance in front of her, she could not let go of the hatred...

Hate is hard to let go...

I don't know how much time passed, but Qiu Liyue felt pain in her left hand again and a dull pain in her head. She struggled to raise her eyelids.

"Sister, you're awake!" A slightly surprised voice sounded beside her. Qiu Liyue's eyes widened and she saw a beautiful face that was almost pressed against hers.

"Ah——" Qiu Liyue wanted to scream in fear, but what came out of her throat was a soft moan.

"Sister, it's okay, it's okay, mother has killed the flower that caused you to fall into the lotus pond!" Qiu Lixing comforted Qiu Liyue with a smile, and then ordered, "Forsythia! Go!"

Tell madam that the eldest lady is awake."

Lotus pond? Flowers bloom, flowers fall? Qiu Liyue's consciousness begins to become confused? What's going on?

"Sister, luckily you're awake. My mother has been watching over you for three whole days. If you hadn't woken up, my mother's tears would have dried up." Qiu Lixing joked.

Qiu Liyue lowered her eyes and saw several circles of cotton wrapped around the wrist of her fair left hand. Where was the frostbite? Qiu Liyue also raised her other hand. There was no sign of any scratches on her fair and smooth skin.

Traces of frostbite.

Looking up again, the plum red curtains, red brocade quilt, almost the whole room is decorated like a wedding room. Isn't this her boudoir? Falling into the lotus pond?

How did everything that happened just now, that long period of time, that heart-wrenching pain happen? Was it a dream? Or did God see her resentment and let her do it all over again?

She remembered that in that dream, after she fell into the lotus pond and woke up, a Taoist priest came to her home and said that her destiny and her name were incompatible, and that she and her sister Qiu Lixing were twins, so she could only be with her.

Qiu Lixing exchanges names to keep her safe throughout her life.

Hearing this, she begged her mother to exchange names with her sister Qiu Lixing. Her mother immediately agreed. From then on, she was Qiu Lixing and her sister was Qiu Liyue.

Just when I thought of this, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.

"Liyue! Liyue!" Mother Yunruo's voice came from outside the door, but in a daze, the voice seemed to come from outside.

Qiu Liyue raised her eyes and saw her dearest mother walking towards her quickly, followed by her father Qiu Jinshan, and a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe!
