Having learned from her experience, Fu Hange sat in the same spot as before. She took a sip of wine to stimulate her senses and prepare for the fierce battle to come.
To be honest, Fu Hange was tired of this repetitive plot; she was really annoyed.
She raised her wine glass, preparing to toast Jinxiu: "Princess, I heard that today is your birthday. I wonder if I may have the honor of inviting you to sit down and take a seat?"
Even though everyone below looked at her with surprise when Fu Hange said those words.
Princess Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment before saying, "None of the many people who came to the banquet would dare to order me around like this. Only you would dare."
Even so, Jinxiu still got up, lifted her long skirt, and walked towards Fu Hange.
Fu Hange considerately offered her her seat, but Meng Shayue was pushed to the side and had to find another seat himself.
Fu Hange asked Jinxiu, "Do you think someone will try to assassinate you tonight?"
With an innocent and harmless look, Jinxiu replied to Fu Hange, "I am a princess. With so many soldiers outside, who would assassinate me?"
Fu Hange truly admired her intelligence; she was about to die and yet she was still so foolish.
Fu Hange patiently explained to her, guiding her, "Listen to me, someone will be lying in ambush here. What you need to do is stay close to me and stay here. Don't go anywhere else. That's the only way to save your life."
Jinxiu blinked her big, bright eyes, looking at Fu Hange with great confusion. She stood there for a full two minutes before suddenly smiling and asking, "Miss, are you alright?"
Fu Hange didn't understand. She was perfectly fine. How could something have happened to her?
Jinxiu straightened the hem of her clothes: "Did you call me down here just to tell me this?"
“Yes.” Fu Hange nodded frantically.
Jinxiu smiled: "Girl, I don't know what your purpose is, but I want to tell you that there are many soldiers here. If you try to intimidate me, I will have them arrest you right now."
No, why won't she listen?
Fu Hange's explanations only made things more confusing. Seeing that Jinxiu was about to leave, she hurriedly grabbed her and said, "How about this, Princess? You just sit here, don't drink water or eat anything, and I won't talk to you anymore. Just stay here, okay?"
It seems this princess isn't a petty person, and since the previous conversation wasn't too unpleasant, she reluctantly agreed.
Fu Hange breathed a sigh of relief. She wouldn't let Jinxiu eat, but she picked up the melon seeds in front of her and started munching on them. Even so, having learned from her previous two experiences, she didn't dare to let her guard down this time. She kept a close eye on everyone around her, including Jinxiu.
Meng Shayue didn't do much; he just ate and drank to his heart's content. Fu Hange thought he was useless, and she had to solve everything for him.
As it turned out, nothing happened that night.
Fu Hange didn't know how long she had been up, until she herself wanted to sleep. From the moment she entered this dream, she had been running and returning to the starting point, then starting again, then going back again, and starting again...
But she still didn't dare to sleep. No matter what, everything would be fine after tonight.
This was the longest they had ever stayed at the banquet. When it was all over, Fu Hange turned around and said goodbye to Jinxiu. She thought that since she hadn't appeared yet, the princess would go back to rest later, and no one should try to harm her.
Despite this wishful thinking, Jinxiu was still hacked to death on her way back to the palace!
