Chapter Twenty-Three: Passing Off as Someone Else

kly took Su Qing Ying's hand, revealing two cute little tiger teeth on her dirty little face. Her black eyes shone brightly, "Mmm mmm, thank you Master and Grandmaster! I knew Master and Grandmaster w...Sure enough, I was suspected!

Su Qingying's face paled, her palms sweating. "Imperial brother, what are you saying I am your sister, Su Qingying! The Fifth Princess of Dongyue!"

With a cold snort, Su Ziyi's eyes flashed with a hint of icy killing intent. "Oh Is that so This palace doesn't remember Ying'er having such strange skills, nor does it remember when she became so clever!"

“Eldest brother, what are you saying I don’t understand. I am truly Su Qingying! If I weren’t Su Qingying, why would I look exactly like her, even your eyes haven’t noticed it.” Su Qingying clung to this point, refusing to let go. No matter how much Su Ziyue doubted her, she would never reveal that she was a soul possessing another body.

Moreover, she was indeed Su Qingying, only this Su Qingying wasn't the same as that one.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ziyi's eyes narrowed slightly. He just couldn't figure this out. Although her appearance was undeniably that of his younger sister, the soul within seemed like a different person altogether.

"Ying'er was born with a low IQ, unable to utter even a single coherent sentence. In contrast, your words are clear and articulate, every point well-made. How could this palace possibly believe you" Su Ziyi, born into the royal family, was not stupid. He quickly retorted.

Now, Su Qingying fell silent, staring straight at Su Ziyue. Suddenly, she gave a faint smile, her face marred with patches of blue-black veins, yet exuding an unusual determination. She opened her mouth and said, “Imperial brother, if I told you that I died once, would you believe me”

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyi's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean!"

“Brother, you must be very puzzled, right With the same appearance, why is your personality so different all of a sudden This is really hard to explain. In fact, I died two days ago. I thought I would just die like that, but before I died, I saw my confused life. I felt unwilling, unwilling to die like this. The King of Hell pitied me, so he let me be reborn.” Su Qingying said half truthfully, omitting the part about her borrowing a body.

"Rebirth" Su Ziyi's face turned serious, his surprise evident.

"Your Majesty, I know what I'm saying is shocking, but if you still don't believe me, I have no words to defend myself. If you wish to kill or punish me, I submit to your will without resistance."

As for this strange thing called rebirth, it was very difficult for people in ancient times to accept. So, Su Qingying decided to take a gamble. If she won, she would be safe. If she lost, she could only rely on her skills to escape.

Frowning, Su Ziyix's face darkened. He stared intently at her phoenix eyes, his gaze pure and filled with sincerity.

Su Qingying truly had the appearance of someone completely still and silent, waiting to be slaughtered. This made Su Ziyue's phoenix eyes flicker with a hint of loosening, unaware that her hand hidden in her sleeve was tightly clenched.

"This palace trusts you." It was as if a century had passed before Su Ziyì finally spoke, and with her fearless gaze, he chose to believe.

"Thank you, brother Emperor," Su Qingying finally let out a sigh of relief. It seems she won!

At once, she frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you not afraid of me I am someone who has died once."

Didn't ancient people fear ghosts and gods the most

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyi's eyes flashed with light as she gazed deeply at her. His voice was still as warm and jade-like, "You just need to remember, you are Su Qingying, I am Su Ziyi. You will always be the emperor's younger sister, no matter how many times you die, as long as your elder brother is alive, he will ensure your safety for life!"

Once he has made up his mind, he will not change it easily.

"Mmm hmm, Big Brother, I understand." Su Qingying was quite surprised by Su Zixu's answer, and afterward, a deep wave of emotion washed over her heart.Let's go, I reckon Master and the others should be back at Chaoyang Palace by now. We should head back too. We've been busy all day, I'm exhausted.”Being dragged up in the evening to read was bad eno...
