The Empress's Revenge
#2
Loud cries rang out in a small cottage in the morning. Irregular footsteps echoed within the shabby and nearly destroyed cottage.
The sound of crying sadness was the first thing that entered Liu Zixia's eardrum.
"Wake sister! You're all I have in this world." The sound of crying filled the entire small hut where Liu Zixia had awakened.
"If you go too who will accompany me again? Mom's been sequestered away from us and Dad doesn't care about us anymore." The young man who was lamenting did not even see the movement of the helpless young girl.
Liu Zixia stared in a daze at the entire room she was in right now, she raised her right hand while noticing the strange changes in her body.
"I'm still alive!" As if in disbelief with the reality he received, Liu Zixia exclaimed in a successful high tone making the young man who was crying bitterly startled.
He was pushed back with a dumbfounded face while staring confusedly at his sister who had not moved since
"You're alive! You're really alive!" Sensing great happiness, the young man who had been crying loudly finally cheered happily.
He stood up quickly while jumping happily with a face filled with gratitude.
Seeing the foreign man in front of her Liu Zixia was about to speak wanting to ask something but intense pain instantly struck her head, making her speechless and moaning in pain.
"Oh, it hurts a lot" he said, holding tightly to his head, one by one fragments of memories from the owner of the body flowed quickly in his brain.
The name of this beautiful girl was the same as her, she was also named Liu Zixia they only had a slight age.
Both brothers still have a father and mother, dear mother framed and exiled far away.
What was even more sad was that after their mother left the father immediately threw his two children into the small part of the house between the big house because he considered them both useless and stupid.
And the incident that managed to make their souls switched was the carelessness of this sweet girl.
He who could not do anything wanted to follow his brother into the forest to help find firewood but unfortunately fell on him, while on the way a small green snake pecked at his wrist in shock, this sweet girl fell down and rolled down and her head was hit by a rock.
"It's a shame that this sweet girl's fate" she said with sympathy in her heart, "but you take it easy because I have another chance to live because of you that I will avenge you. I'll make them pay for everything he's done to you!" his promise in heart with a burning determination.
"I think my life is the saddest, it turns out there are still more miserable people, too bad I just chose to die, the bad guys must be happy." Continue in my heart full of sorrow.
Liu Zixia was more sad and worse not when she did not have time to avenge her parents, it was true that love was blind.
"Sister, I told you not to go to that forest, why don't you still listen to me?" liu Zhong asked furiously, his eyes glaring sharply with and if the gaze could kill maybe Liu Zixia was dead again
"Look, having managed to worry me now that you're pretending to be spoiled and cute, I'd love to punish your sweet mouth." Liu Zhong helplessly picked up the porridge that had been specially bought for him.
But seeing Liu Zixia brought home bleeding and wounded, Liu Zhong no longer cared where the porridge was and now upon hearing Liu Zixia's words, Liu Zhong did not care, Liu Zhong searched back where he had put the porridge earlier.
Liu Zhong circulated his gaze throughout the room until his eyes found the mushroom forest that had been bought specifically for Liu Zixia.
He quickly handed the bowl of mushroom porridge that looks good to Liu Zixia who was already so hungry, understandably since locked up he never touched the food given to him again.
Being so hungry without caring about the taste of the food served to him Liu Zixia immediately devoured the food.
"Woah, I'm finally feeling full!" Zixia looked happy, she was holding her little belly with a full smile.
Liu Zhong was helpless at the behavior of his sister, he was delighted when he heard the laughter coming out of Liu Zixia's mouth. "Look! You ate all the food you had and you didn't even spare a single bit for your brother!" he said again then with a sad look made up.
Not answering Liu Zhong's question at all Liu Zixia instead approached towards Liu Zhong.
"Sister, can you take me somewhere?" persuade Liu Zixia with a spoiled tone while shaking the hand Liu Zhong held.
Liu Zhong glanced at the younger brother with raised eyebrows, Liu Zixia never left the house other than occasionally he who took him to the forest to look for firewood.
Seeing Liu Zhong staring at himself in disbelief Liu Zixia realized that he who was now had never left the house if not invited by Liu Zhong.
All of a sudden he took advantage of the accident that happened in the forest that happened to him today.
He left alone there would be no one who could refute his words later.
"In the forest before I had an accident, brother! I met someone and helped him show him the way and gave him food and drink and in return the man told me to ask for compensation for the help I did to him to the Valley of Light." Liu Zixia looked cute and adorable when displaying a plain look that was obvious on purpose.
"That place is far away! Are you sure that person is telling the truth?" Liu Zhong looked doubtful, he had never known this story nor had anyone mentioned this matter to him when they drove Liu Zixia home earlier.
"Huh, do you think your sister is a liar, brother? I'm telling you the truth!" liu Zixia exclaimed furiously, her cheeks bulging comically as she turned her face away from Liu Zhong.
"Alright, alright. I'll take you there but you have to promise not to do as good as your heart again, okay?" Liu Zhong advised with utmost decisiveness, but instead made Zixia smile comically.
How long had no one advised or persuaded him like this again, he had even forgotten when the last time he met his former brother and family was.
Liu Zixia felt a painful pain not to recall how her parents begged and swore to tell the Emperor that she was innocent and involved in the conspiracy alleged to her family.
