Chapter 22 Let’s Eat



The white porcelain spoon is small and delicate, and it is effortless to bite it.

The teeth made a crunching sound when biting on it.

It's like a mouse grinding its teeth.

There were no candles lit in this dungeon, only night-shining pearls were placed to add light.

The light of the night pearl was soft, setting off the pretty face of the woman in front of her. Her wide-open eyes were not as ferocious as she thought, but rather more lively.

Lu Yunqi held the spoon and looked at her seriously.

"When you went to eat fried tofu guo, I didn't recognize you at all," he said. "It was my fault."

At that time she didn't let him recognize her, so of course he couldn't recognize her.

Miss Jun bit the spoon and looked at him fiercely.

Don't bother with the hypocritical apology.

Lu Yunqi pinched her chin with his other hand.

"It turns out that appearance has nothing to do with it. You are you, so that's you." He said, pinching gently.

Miss Jun opened her mouth and the spoon was taken out.

"You'll break your teeth if you do that." Lu Yunqi said.

Miss Jun still didn't say anything and looked at him coldly.

Lu Yunqi also looked at her. Although he didn't show any emotion, his face was much softer than it appeared outside.

"Nine-year-old, people can never go against food and drink," he said.

She said this.

Once, Lu Yunqi came back and said he was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat, so she persuaded him like this.

Miss Jun looked at him and smiled coldly.

"I just said it," she said. "It's just as fake as yours."

"You still remember it." Lu Yunqi said with a smile on his face.

"I have a good memory." Miss Jun looked at him, "I remember everything that happened in the past clearly, so that I can see clearly what kind of fool I am at all times."

Lu Yunqi lowered his head and stirred the eight-treasure soup.

"Jiuling, let's eat first." He said, scooping up another spoonful.

"Then let me go." Miss Jun said, "I will eat by myself."

Lu Yunqi smiled.

"I know you are not fostered in a temple, but follow Dr. Zhang." He said, "I know you are very powerful."

She never told him about her past, and he never asked about it.

The memories of the past were not very pleasant and she didn't want to mention them.

And I think with his status he already knew about the past, so there is no need to ask.

He knew that she could make poisons and had many hidden weapons, so it was not surprising.

Miss Jun looked at herself. Her clothes had been completely changed from inside to outside and her hair had been recombed. She believed that when she was unconscious, he had even checked her mouth, ears, and nail crevices.

This is not a difficult task for the Royal Guards.

"Lord Lu, don't you believe how powerful you are?" she said calmly.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

"If I were really that great, how could you become like this?" he said.

He was so powerful, but she hid it from him and went to the palace alone to die with her hidden weapons.

He hadn't been able to stop her before, but now he was going to stop her.

Lu Yunqi reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Lu Yunqi!" Miss Jun shouted angrily, but the spoon had already been passed into her mouth.

The perfectly warm and smooth soup fell into her mouth, blocking her voice.

Lu Yunqi's hand slid gently down her cheek.

The soup that entered his mouth was not sprayed out by his tongue at all, but slid smoothly into his throat.

Miss Jun didn't feel choked or uncomfortable when she took the mouthful of rice, it was as if she was eating it herself.

But this is certainly not the same.

Miss Jun stopped cursing. She just stared at Lu Yunqi, her eyes full of anger and humiliation.

Lu Yunqi was a member of the Jinyi Guard. The life and death of the prisoners who fell into his hands was completely in his hands, so Lu Yunqi was given the title of King Yan.

If he lets them die, they die; if he lets them live, they cannot die.

Self-mutilation methods such as fasting are completely useless to Lu Yunqi.

So, she was treated like a prisoner by him.

Lu Yunqi's face was expressionless, as if he could not see her anger and humiliation.

He fed her mouthful of soup, some meat and some vegetable dishes, mixed together and fed them into her mouth slowly and for her to swallow.

"You eat a little more than before." He said, looking at the food and then at Miss Jun, "Maybe it's because Jun Zhenzhen is still growing."

This means that he even found out how much she eats on a daily basis.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"I just want to live a solid life." She sneered.

Lu Yunqi nodded.

"That's good." He nodded and wiped the corner of her mouth carefully, then picked up another set of bowls and chopsticks, "I'm going to eat."

The food on the table had already gone cold, but Lu Yunqi didn't seem to notice. He was eating very attentively, occasionally looking up to look at Miss Jun's cold eyes, then lowering his head to eat seriously.

"Your taste has changed a lot. The body that Fu Ning grew up in still has an impact on you." He said, carefully tasting the meals that Jun Jiuling prepared daily.

Miss Jun didn't say anything. Since her emotions at this moment were useless, there was no need for her to do anything useless.

Lu Yunqi put down his bowl and chopsticks and called over a maid who had been serving here during the day. The maid was obviously also from the Jinyiwei. She had been here during the day as if she did not exist. At this moment, she packed up her bowl and chopsticks with a wooden expression and left.

"You, who knows about this?" Lu Yunqi asked.

Miss Jun said nothing.

Lu Yunqi didn't ask any more questions.

"If you don't like being here, I'll take you to see Princess Jiuli," he said.

He still had her hands and feet tied in this secret room, yet he dared to let her out. He must have had some reason to do so.

Miss Jun looked at him with a calm expression.

"You're asking me about my choice?" she said. "Do I have a choice? Do we have a choice?"

Lu Yunqi looked at her, pursed his thin lips, and seemed to want to say something but didn't.

"Let me go to see Jiuli like this, and let her see that even if I die once, I can't escape this fate." Miss Jun looked at him seriously and said, "Let us see clearly that this is the treatment that losers deserve. This humiliation is very good and powerful. You are worthy of being Lord Lu. It's really admirable."

Lu Yunqi stood up, causing a gust of dark wind to flow.

"Jiuling, do you think I married you to humiliate you?" he said.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"How about?" she said, with a serious look, "thank you for not killing me?"

Looking up under the pearly light, Lu Yunqi's face seemed to have become paler, but only slightly.

"I've been sitting here all day. I'll ask someone to bring me some water for soaking my feet." He said in a calm voice and sat down again.

Miss Jun sneered and said nothing.

Lu Yunqi gave an order to the outside and bent down to untie her socks.

"Duke Cheng ran away, and the people who went to deliver the imperial edict failed to catch him." As he spoke, his tone was relaxed and casual, just like a husband who had returned from a day's work outside and was chatting with his wife about daily life.

Same trick as before.

She used to be bored at home, and in order to stop her from having wild thoughts, he would tell her about what was happening outside.

Those people and things made her feel that everything around her was still alive and attracted her.

What's even more annoying is that he always finds something to say that attracts her.

"If you don't run, are you going to come back and die?" she said with a sneer.

But she was still a little surprised, but more relieved.

As expected, once Duke Cheng had made his choice, he had made careful arrangements.

Although he would be deposed if his crime was proven as the emperor wished, it was only a matter of time. It would be better to start now than to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

"But there is no difference." Lu Yunqi said, taking the wooden basin from the maid, testing the water temperature with his hand before putting Miss Jun's feet in, "They all want him to die, it's just a matter of speed."

"Want him to die?" Miss Jun said, "Will he die if he wants him to die? Does he think he is really the Son of Heaven? Don't say he is not. Even if he is, he is not the Heaven."

She smiled coldly.

"I'm not alive."

Lu Yunqi raised his head and looked at her, pursed his thin lips and smiled.

"Yes," he said.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"I want to kick the basin," she said.

She said she wanted to, but she didn't move at all because Lu Yunqi's hands would hold her feet tightly if she moved the slightest.

But she still said it, as if she had done it.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

"Okay." He nodded, as if she had kicked over the basin. "I'll go get another one."
