Transmigration: Life In A Novel Is Not Simple! (Dropped)

Chapter 8

Six years later~

——

Zheng YiLing smiled while skipping and humming, she had finally lost her guards to the crowd of the capital city. She was happily looking through the stalls, looking for something for her sister. What she didn't realize was that she was being followed.

Glancing around aimlessly she realized that she had wandered from the busy marketplace. She immediately turned around but was suddenly knocked out.

——

"Miss!" Xiao Yan came running into the room frantically, looking for the figure of her master. "Young miss is missing!" 

Zheng YiRong looked up from where she sat by the window, resting her head on her knuckles as her elbow rested on the armrest. Her sharp phoenix eyes looked to her maid.

"What happened to the guards?" She asked coldly, standing up.

"They.. they lost the young miss because she was running around through the crowds..." Xiao Yan replied which made YiRong sigh. She was sixteen now, regal, mature, and stunning. She was at the perfect age for marriage, but due to her crippled status, nobody wanted her, regardless if she was a princess, even then, Zheng YiRong was known as ugly since she hasn't shown her face in public. It was ridiculous since Zheng YiRong would outshine the number one beauty in the city no problem, but she didn't mind, in fact she was happy that she hasn't been bothered with suitors or such. 

But the empress lamented, saying that she should be giving her cute grandchildren in which YiRong only laughed and told the mother of the nation that she had three sons. Over the years, the empress and emperor grew close with YiRong enjoying her attitude and temperament more than anything. It was clear at the beginning they treated her with care due to guilt but now they treated her as if she was their real daughter.

"Get LiQin and JinHai, tell them to be ready to treat some injuries and send BaiGui to search for her." YiRong had almost forgotten she was in a novel, the original YiLing died at 14 allowing the modern day assassin to transmigrate. She wouldn't be surprised if it's happening right now.

LiQin arrived quickly, the skinny girl has grown into a beautiful woman now. Long blonde hair and stunning hazel eyes. She was also unmarried despite YiRong attempt on pairing her. When she entered the room, she immediately knelt. LiQin decided to become a doctor, a female becoming a physician was very rare in this world, but she outshone many males in the field proving her worth in many ways. 

BaiGui became YiRong's personal guard, training diligently and even winning several competitions. He was skilled in both the sword and was gifted with a huge amount of Qi. To say simply, he was skilled enough where even the emperor had asked him to become a general, to which he refused.

JinHai however, became an alchemist. Able to make high grade pills that were highly sought out by cultivators all over the world. Pills were an essential part of the cultivation world as they can save lives as well as improving one's cultivation.

The three were still very close, like siblings, YiRong and Xiao Yan also were close with them as well, treating each other with respect.

No one in the kingdom hasn't heard of the three but no one in the kingdom knew that they worked for YiRong, the citizens and nobles had all assumed that they worked for someone in the imperial family like the crown prince or emperor. Although they weren't wrong, they weren't necessarily right either.

The emperor had often complained to YiRong that she had the three most talented youths under her. Clearly he was jealous but he was also very happy that his daughter was surrounded by amazing people who could protect and help her and served her with their complete loyalty.

JinHai arrived later than LiQin but still came quickly. Like the other two he had grown a lot. No longer skinny or dirty, JinHai was a handsome man with brown ruffled hair that covered his eyes and a greatly sought out bachelor of the city with his gentle temperament and high status.

"Apologies for being late, I had to grab some pills." YiRong simply shook her head.

"You're fine, Ling'er and BaiGui has yet to arrive." YiRong trusted BaiGui to find her sister, in fact for him, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Her trust wasn't let down as BaiGui entered her room carrying YiLing. Her neck was bleeding and YiRong knew that they had cut her throat.

When BaiGui set the girl down, LiQin and JinHai immediately took action. YiRong left with BaiGui so they wouldn't disturb the working people as Xiao Yan stayed to help the two.

When YiRong and BaiGui was alone she turned to look at him.

BaiGui had also completely transformed, he was muscular, certainly not bulky but lean, from the intense training he went through for the past six years. His silver hair and eyes reflected the light and almost seemed to be a different color at some angles. He excluded a cold aura which caused young women to constantly chase after him, even though it was just eye raping him from afar since many wouldn't dare approach him. Those who did made sure to stay back after an encounter. Nevertheless, in front of YiRong, Xiao Yan, LiQin, and JinHai, he was quite gentle.

"Where did you find her?"

"Replying to the miss, this servant found her in an alley far from the marketplace. There were three men, this servant arrived a bit too late to save her from being cut."

"You did fine. But it seemed that they planned on humiliating her..." her words were soft but eyes were dangerously narrowed.

"This servant had others capture them. They're at the imperial palace."

"Good, tell imperial mother and father that I'll deal with them personally."

"Yes, my lady." He disappeared, using his Qi to travel to the imperial palace.

Later that day, LiQin and JinHai exited the room. "The young miss's condition is steady. She will live. Xiao Yan is taking care of her right now," LiQin said, bowing slightly.

Zheng YiRong who was reading in the room across, looked up with a smile. "You guys did well. You may retire, Ling'er should be fine." The two didn't say anything but smiled back, happy that they could help their benefactor.

Zheng YiRong placed her book down when they left, looking out the window, she hummed. "Seems like the story is finally starting," she murmured. She stood and turned away from the window, walking to the room where Xiao Yan was. "Leave," she ordered the Xiao Yan who was sitting to the side, making sure something didn't happen. Xiao Yan stood and with a bow, she left, a soft click was heard as the door closed.

Walking towards the bed. The wound had completely disappeared. Sitting down at the chair next to the bed, YiRong leaned in and heard the soft breathing of her sleeping 'sister'.

"You can wake up now, Ling'er."
