Haha, look at what I'm asking, you must be happy. I heard that you were devoted to the Emperor of Daqi before and were his favorite concubine for a while. I just wonder if the King is still willing to look at your tattered body now that you've returned to Beirong."

Yan Ji stared at the woman in front of her, her pale face instantly turning ashen. She curled the corners of her lips and said sarcastically:

"You don't need to interfere in the affairs between the king and me. But you, like a lapdog, hang around the king all day long, and he doesn't seem to care about you much. After all these years, you are still just a concubine."

When the woman heard this, her face turned red with anger:

"Yan Ji, you shameless bastard, don't think that the king will favor you just because you are pretty. If you fail in your mission, the king will not let you off easily."

"Really? Yu Ji, then let's wait and see." Yan Ji glanced at her, then was helped away by the maid.

Behind her, Yuji gritted her teeth and made a clattering sound:

"This bitch! The mission failed, why didn't the king execute her?!"

The maid beside her whispered in her ear:

"Madam Yuji, I heard that Madam Yanji seemed to have brought back a woman from Daqi this time, and the king was not too angry with her because of this."

Yu Ji frowned when she heard this:

"A woman? What kind of woman? Could it be that Yan Ji knew that she had been touched by someone else and that the king would never touch her again, so she specifically found her to serve the king?"

"I don't know about this servant."

The maid glanced at her and answered carefully that her master was most jealous of the king favoring other people. If it was true that the woman was brought back by Yan Ji to serve the king, she would not let her off easily.

…

Ye Jinyun stayed in a stone chamber without sunlight, and had no idea whether it was day or night outside. He could only judge the approximate time by the maid who delivered meals.

She was so bored staying in the stone chamber all day, unable to go out and with no one to talk to, so she simply started doing yoga, gymnastics and various sports. Perhaps because they saw that she was honest, they no longer added muscle softening powder to her meals in the past two days, which allowed Ye Jinyun to exercise without worrying about being suspected.

She had thought it over. The Beirong Palace was heavily guarded, and it wouldn't be easy to escape. Since she was locked up every day anyway, she might as well exercise. That way, if she got a chance to escape, she wouldn't run out of energy and get caught again.

Even if she didn't have any Qinggong skills, she would still show her strength of a 100-meter sprint.

So when the maid reported Ye Jinyun's behavior in the stone chamber to Helian Rongxia, he couldn't help but raise his handsome eyebrows again, and a smile appeared on his thin lips.

This Ye Jinyun really surprised him. He had never seen anyone who was as energetic as her when serving as a hostage. No wonder Mo Qiyuan cherished her so much.

Then he raised his phoenix eyes and said lazily: "Bring her up to the banquet tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
