She was originally the Princess of Nanzhao, but due to an unexpected twist of fate, she ended up living among the common folk. Eight years ago, Xiao Nan'an, the Regent of Tianqi, rescued her du...
Chapter 24 Give her cartilage powder
Chu Jin was slightly startled and turned to look at Helian Feng.
But he looked solemn and said slowly:
"Chu Jin, we still don't know the power behind her. If we rashly destroy her face, we'll never know who she is. Furthermore, a woman's appearance is as gorgeous as a spring flower. It's the foundation of her life and affects her reputation. We shouldn't destroy it lightly."
Chu Jin looked annoyed:
"But the Xuanyan makeup technique can only be reversed by Zisha's facial cleanser. Even if I develop it, if the medicine is not suitable for her, her appearance will still be ruined. In the end, won't it be the same result?"
Helian Feng glanced at the young woman whose hands and feet were bound on the pillar, his eyes sweeping over her slender body:
"I'm thinking, with her in my hands, maybe Zisha will come back! After all, she sacrificed her life to save Zisha, which shows the deep friendship between them. Even if you kill her, what difference will it make? How can her life be worth that Dongzhu? It's better to use her as bait to catch the big fish behind the scenes!"
Although Chu Jin was unwilling, he also understood that what Helian Feng said made sense, so he could only snort coldly and retract the green saliva blood leech.
Xiyan let out a sigh of relief.
She was not afraid of death, but Chu Jin was right in one thing: in this world, there was no woman who did not cherish her appearance. Besides, how stunning was the face beneath the mask?
Helian Feng slowly walked closer to Xi Yan. He lowered his head and looked at the stubborn, pale little face, a hint of pity in his eyes:
"Xuesha, I admire your pride and respect your loyalty to your master."
Helian Feng's voice was gentle and warm:
"I doubt you'll easily reveal the mastermind behind this. However, loyalty in this world sometimes requires careful consideration of the situation. I'm not a cruel or bloodthirsty person, so I can only imprison you here. If your master still cares about you and knows you're imprisoned here, he'll definitely find a way to rescue you."
Helian Feng changed the subject:
"However, your master is worried about his identity being exposed and won't come to your rescue, which means you are nothing more than a discarded pawn in his hands! As a discarded pawn, you are useless to both me and him, and there is only one way to go: death! You might as well think carefully about it. If that's the case, is he still worth risking your life?"
Xiyan looked at the handsome and elegant man in front of her, slowly turned her eyes away, and understood in her heart.
He and Chu Jin played their roles very clearly: one was ruthless and merciless, while the other wanted to win people's hearts and minds. If we talk about being clever, Helian Feng was more skilled.
However, Helian Feng was afraid that his plan had failed.
Given her understanding of Xiao Nanyan, how could he risk exposing his identity to come to her rescue? If he was discovered, wouldn't all his years of planning be wasted?
She was just a servant in the Regent's palace, one of the thousands of death warriors. What was the pity of her death? Moreover, she had recently provoked him one after another. He could entrust her with such a dangerous mission and even issued a death order. Didn't he want her to die?
If he wanted her to die, why would he come to rescue her?
She was destined to die, the only difference was whether she died a few days earlier or later!
Seeing Xiyan's silence, Helian Feng turned to look at Chu Jin:
"Give her cartilage powder, loosen her bonds, and have someone watch over her. Tomorrow at midnight, if no one comes to rescue her, you can kill her. There's no need to inform me again!"
Chu Jin nodded, secretly admiring Helian Feng's scheming.
If Xuesha's master truly came to rescue her, they would be able to follow the clues and uncover the power behind the incident. If no one came to rescue her, her faith might collapse, and she might even speak up. At worst, they could torture her severely after a day to vent their hatred, and then kill her.
A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly at Helian Feng:
"clear!"
