After finding no loophole to escape and making sure that there was no one around, Princess Rui turned her attention to Qingtian.
"You just said that you are Madam You's daughter? Then you should be the sunny day that my sister and He Xuan talked about, right?"
"Yes." Qingtian nodded a little nervously.
She still remembered that Madam Qin had told Qin Hexuan not to bring her to the Princess of Rui.
Seeing Qingtian's nervous expression, Princess Rui couldn't help but soften her voice and said, "Don't be afraid. They must have some ulterior motive in capturing us. Your Highness will definitely rescue us."
In fact, Princess Rui was also unsure, but she still patiently comforted Qingtian.
Qingtian nodded when he heard that, but he kept his head down and didn't look at her, as if he was deliberately avoiding her gaze.
Originally, when Princess Rui looked at Qingtian, she always felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity, and thought that it might be because the two looked alike.
So when Princess Rui saw Qingtian avoiding her all the time, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Qingtian, are you afraid of me?"
"No." Qingtian said without hesitation, and then whispered, "Mrs. Qin said that you would be sad when you saw me, and I don't want to make you sad."
Although it was only the first time they met, Qingtian had often heard Qin Hexuan mention her before, so she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Princess Rui. She still liked this princess very much, so she didn't want to make her sad even more.
"Why am I sad?" Princess Rui didn't react to what was happening at first, but she soon understood Madam Qin's intention.
"It's okay. I like you so much, how can I be sad?" Princess Rui reached out and hugged Qingtian into her arms. "After we return safely, I will adopt you as my goddaughter, okay?"
Qingtian didn't dare to agree, because this was the princess.
Although she was not very clear about the status of the princess, she knew that those who could be called "Queen" were people of extraordinary status.
Princess Rui didn't continue the topic. After a moment's thought, she said, "Aren't you curious why Madam Qin said I'd be sad to see you?"
Qingtian was still a child after all, and after hearing this he couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
So Princess Rui whispered to her about her daughter.
At the end of her speech, she said in a softer voice, "The prince has been sending people everywhere to look for our daughter. I believe she must still be alive and well somewhere in this world, just waiting for us to rescue her!"
When Qingtian heard her talk about the difficulties of giving birth and the pain of losing the child later, he felt a sour and swollen feeling in his heart, and he couldn't describe the feeling.
It was not until Princess Rui's hand touched her cheek that Qingtian realized she was crying.
"Good child, don't cry. As long as my child is still alive, I will never give up looking for her."
Qingtian sobbed and said to Princess Rui: "You will definitely find your daughter."
Princess Rui smiled when she heard this, lowered her head and kissed Qingtian on the cheek, saying, "Okay, thank you."
Qingtian could hear the politeness in her words, so he struggled out of her arms, stood in front of her, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "I'm serious, you will definitely find your daughter.
"My mother said that I have a very good command of words. If I say you can find it, you will definitely find it."
"Okay." Looking at Qingtian's eyes filled with sincerity, Princess Rui also choked up for some reason, "Then I will accept your advice."
She stroked Qingtian's hair and said, "My daughter is about your age. When I find her, you can play together."
At first, the two people didn't realize they were locked up and were chatting in low voices.
But as time went on, I felt something was wrong.
This room is sealed off from all sides, with no air coming in at all.
The scorching sun in summer has long since baked through the roof, and the stuffy air in the house cannot dissipate at all.
Both of them felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, but there was not even a drop of water in the room.
At first, Princess Rui just encouraged Qingtian to hold on a little longer, hoping that she would have food and water by dinner time.
After all, according to Princess Rui's analysis, these people captured them in order to ask Prince Rui for money or things.
At least for now, there seems to be no intention of killing them, so they should be given some food and water.
Unexpectedly, even when the moon was already high in the sky, no one came to pay attention to them, let alone bring them food and water.
Adults can still barely hold on, but Qingtian is a child and his physical condition is not good.
She had been drugged and frightened today, and had already endured enough.
I sweated a lot, but there was no water to drink.
Qingtian was very well-behaved. She knew there was no water to drink, so she stayed there without crying or making a fuss.
By the time Princess Rui discovered that something was wrong with her, her face was already a little flushed.
Princess Rui touched her forehead, then lowered her head and kissed her, feeling that she might have a fever.
Princess Rui couldn't help but stand up and start banging on the door.
"Is anyone there? Someone come!"
The two people who were staying in the main house heard the noise and covered their faces with black cloth before coming out.
One of them asked in a gruff voice, "Why are you yelling? I'm telling you, this isn't your palace. Come on, we're not your servants!"
Princess Rui took a deep breath and softened her tone, "Excuse me, brothers, could you give me some clean water? My daughter seems to have a fever."
