Commoner Queen: Falling in Love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - Chapter 3

Ling’er, still sobbing uncontrollably, said, “Master, Madam… when Miss woke up, she… she had already forgotten everything. I think… I think she might have lost her memory… Wuuu…”

The middle-aged man sighed deeply, looking at Yuqing with a sorrowful expression. “Perhaps forgetting is not such a bad thing…”

What do you mean by “not a bad thing”? Of course, I have to pretend to have amnesia—I’ve just traveled through time! Otherwise, how am I supposed to survive? But judging from their reactions, the owner of this body must have gone through something major before I arrived. Curiosity got the better of Yuqing, and she asked, “Mother, did something happen to me? Why can’t I remember anything?”

The beautiful woman hesitated, glancing at the middle-aged man, as if finding it difficult to speak. The man then said, “Don’t ask, Ziying. You’ve just woken up. Get some rest. If you need anything, just ask Ling’er.” Then, turning to Ling’er, he instructed, “Take good care of Miss.” With that, he helped his wife out of the room.

Ugh, I didn’t get any juicy gossip. How boring! Yang Ziying pouted. Then, suddenly remembering something important, she turned to Ling’er and asked, “Ling’er, who am I? What’s my name? Can you tell me about myself?”

“Miss, your real name is Murong Ziying. You are the only daughter of Master Murong Xi and Madam Situ Jierong. You’ve always been obedient, gentle, well-mannered, and knowledgeable.”

Wait, what? Obedient? Gentle? Well-mannered? Those words have nothing to do with me, Murong Ziying! But Ziying smirked to herself. Since I’ve “lost my memory,” I don’t have to pretend to be some noble and graceful lady. Hehe.

She then asked, “So, what dynasty are we in? Who is the emperor?”

Ling’er replied, “Our country is called the Song Dynasty, and the emperor is Yi Lingtian.”

Huh? Why Yi Lingtian and not Zhao Kuangyin? That’s weird… But whatever.

“Then… Ling’er, what exactly happened before I lost my memory?” Ziying was determined to uncover the truth her parents were avoiding.

“Miss, you… you just accidentally fell into the water. Nothing else happened…” Ling’er stammered, recalling her master’s earlier instructions: ‘If Miss asks, just say she fell into the water by accident.’

“Oh, so I just accidentally fell into the water—” Ziying deliberately dragged out her words. Internally, she scoffed, ‘Do you take me for a fool? An accident? Do you really think I’m that stupid? If you won’t tell me, I’ll just find out myself!’

Ziying smirked and said, “You can leave now. I want to rest.”

“Yes, Miss…”
