In the haze, Ye Jinyun felt a tingling sensation on his face, so he opened his sleepy eyes and met a pair of bewitching phoenix eyes.

Ye Jinyun was startled and subconsciously wanted to jump up from the bed, but suddenly she felt a pain in her neck, and then she could not move, and a trace of fear appeared on her face.

What methods did this person use? Why couldn't the system help her avoid it?

Seeing her like this, a hint of teasing appeared in the narrow eyes staring at her, and a charming and magnetic voice sounded softly:

"Haha, Queen Yun is really interesting."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyun couldn't help but look at the person who was very close to her. It was a man, no, to be more precise, it was a man who looked like a demon.

He had a handsome outline, a high nose bridge, a pair of narrow and charming phoenix eyes slightly tilted upwards under his slanted sword-like eyebrows, the corners of his lips were raised in a smile, and his long dark red hair was undone and draped behind him, adding to the evil charm of the man.

At this moment, he was leaning over and staring at her. A strand of hair hung down from his chest and just touched her cheek. Ye Jinyun was awakened by this touch.

"What did you do to me?" Ye Jinyun asked him with wide eyes after looking at the person in front of him.

The man smiled when he heard that, and his already charming face became even more captivating.

But Ye Jinyun couldn't help but shudder in her heart. Why did she feel that his smile was so creepy? He was clearly smiling, but the aura emanating from his body was as cold as a ghost.

"It's nothing, I just pressed your acupoints to prevent Queen Yun from jumping up and hurting herself."

When Ye Jinyun heard that he had pressed her acupoints, she stopped struggling. With this kind of kung fu, unless he untied her, there was no point in her struggling and it would be a waste of energy.

Seeing that she was so quiet after hearing the acupuncture, the man's eyes were more playful and the corners of his mouth were more upturned.

"I don't know what King Helian wants to do by coming here. You have already locked me up. Are you afraid that I will escape?"

Ye Jinyun said that this person must be the King of Beirong, Helian Rongxia, otherwise he would not appear in this stone chamber for no reason, nor would he be interested in her as a hostage.

"Queen Yun is quite clever. She immediately guessed it was me. I wonder if Queen Yun is satisfied with my hospitality?"

What do you think?

You are eating drugged food, living in a stone room without sunlight, and facing jackals, tigers and leopards. If it were you, would you be satisfied?

Ye Jinyun cursed in his heart, but still said:

"Satisfied, satisfied. If Your Majesty could unblock this acupuncture point of mine, I would be even more satisfied."

Helian Rongxia looked at her with interest without saying a word.

Finally, when Ye Jinyun was so frightened by his gaze that she couldn't help but speak, he leaned over and took a deep breath in her ear and said:

"Queen Yun is indeed a treasure."

Then he untied her acupoints and turned to leave the stone chamber.

Psycho! Ye Jinyun cursed in his heart.

This Helian Rongxia is indeed as strange and eccentric as the rumors say. Fortunately, I sent my son away, otherwise he would have suffered a lot if he fell into the hands of such a person.

Thinking about how he had just pressed his own acupoints and the system hadn't given any warning, Ye Jin couldn't help but ask the system in his mind:

"System, system, why couldn't I avoid the acupoint he pressed just now?"

[Ding, acupressure will not cause any harm to the host's body, so the system will not react.]

"Ah? What should I do if he presses my acupoints?"

[Ding, the system cannot avoid this risk, please be careful, but as long as the host's organs are not separated from the body, other injuries can be repaired, so please avoid the risk yourself.]

Ye Jinyun was speechless. How could the system still have this bug? He didn't know about it because it had never happened before. What if someone got beheaded by this bug in the future?

Oh, I'd better find a way to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

But how can she escape?

Ye Jinyun looked at the stone chamber that was as solid as a solid wall and sighed in his heart. For now, he should just take it one step at a time.

…

After meeting Ye Jinyun, Helian Rongxia returned to his palace. Bai Ruoli was already waiting in the palace. When she saw him come in, she immediately knelt in front of him:

"Yan Ji greets His Majesty. This time, I failed in my mission to infiltrate Da Qi. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Upon hearing this, Helian Rongxia glanced at Yan Ji, also known as Bai Ruoli. A sinister look emerged between his brows, completely different from the charm he had just shown. His voice was also filled with a biting chill:

"Since you know the mission failed, you know what will happen when you return. However, since you brought back such a good hostage for me, you don't have to go to the torture chamber. Go down and you will be punished with thirty lashes."

"Yan Ji thanks the king for his grace."

As soon as she finished speaking, a guard came up and took her to an open area outside the hall, raised the whip and executed her.

Yan Ji, also known as Bai Ruoli, bit her lips tightly and endured the whipping, but did not dare to make a sound.

Everyone present knew that it was not that Yan Ji was strong-willed, but that if anyone shouted in front of the king, the punishment would be more than just a whipping.

They will be escorted to the torture chamber, where there are countless punishments, all used by Helian Rongxia to torture people.

After Yan Ji received the thirty lashes, a maid came forward and helped her to the harem.

She was Helian Rongxia's confidant and also his concubine. Even though she failed to kill Mo Qiyuan and become the queen, her identity was different from that of an ordinary spy.

Yan Ji was being supported on her way back to her residence when she met a charming woman.

"Hey, look who this is, isn't this the king's favorite concubine, Yan Ji? Has she been living comfortably in Da Qi these past few years?
