The two chatted about other things for a while, and Bai Fei gradually became sleepy. After all, she had been under a restriction, and had been living in fear and anxiety during this period. Later, she had taken some potent drugs to stimulate her potential, and now she was feeling somewhat tired.
He fell asleep without realizing it, but Zu An remained calm and continued his meditation.
Nothing dramatic or romantic happened that night. Bai Fei didn't invite him to bed with her. She slept soundly the whole time, and she was a very quiet sleeper, not kicking off the covers or exposing her thighs.
Zuan's mood was as calm as a still lake. He was clearly no longer as naive as he used to be, and he no longer expected anything ambiguous.
The next morning, after Bai Fei woke up, she was startled at first, but when she saw Zu An sitting in meditation like a rock, a serene smile appeared on her face.
I haven't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.
She herself was somewhat surprised. She came from a demonic sect and had lived in the palace, a place rife with intrigue and backstabbing, for so many years, yet she had trusted a man so much…
"You're awake?" Zuan sensed her movement and opened his eyes.
"Mmm." Bai Fei was a little embarrassed, after all, this conversation felt a bit like that of a young married couple at home.
How many women in this world would reveal such a private side of themselves to a man?
"Then let's pack up and get ready to leave. If nothing unexpected happens, Eunuch Wen should have already informed the guards nearby." Zu An stood up and said. Daytime and nighttime are different. At night, the patrolling soldiers are on high alert, trying to eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers in advance. Any suspicious things are easily magnified. During the day, everyone is up and moving around, so those people are not so neurotic.
"Are we just going out like this?" Bai Fei got up to put on her coat, but Zu An stopped her.
"You should wear Granny Ping's outfit, just in case you end up dressed as her corpse today."
In case someone really wants to open the box for inspection, it can handle it.
"Alright." Bai Fei instinctively felt a little disgusted by Ping Mama's clothes; they were dirty, greasy, and even had a strange smell. However, she knew what was important and didn't refuse at all.
As Zuan spoke, he took out a small box and said hesitantly, "You'll have to make do lying in this later. I don't know if you can fit in. If not, I'll go find a bigger one."
Although he usually kept a lot of daily necessities in the glass bead, who would prepare a box to hold a corpse for no reason?
He had to clear out this box after a lot of trouble.
Consort Bai stared at the box in surprise: "Can such a small box really fit Granny Ping? Won't people suspect something?"
"It's precisely because it's small that no one would suspect there's a person inside. As for Granny Ping, she's quite robust, but in the hands of Eunuch Wen and other insiders, she's already a corpse anyway. Even if you break her body, you can still barely fit her inside."
"What about my body? Won't they get suspicious?" Bai Fei was a little worried for him. It wouldn't matter if she left, but Zu'an might be implicated because of it.
Zu An waved a small bottle in his hand: "This is what Eunuch Wen gave me yesterday. It's like a corpse-dissolving powder. After all, you're a concubine in the palace. Even if you die, you can't be casually killed by men. So, use this to dissolve it and be done with it."
This medicine is extremely precious; the amount is only enough to dissolve one person's dose.
As for why Eunuch Wen didn't personally watch him dispose of Consort Bai's body, it's probably because he didn't want to get too involved and risk being silenced by the emperor in the future. He's been in the palace for so many years and is already a cunning old fox.
Bai Fei was somewhat impressed: "I originally thought the situation was hopeless, but after you sorted it out like this, it seems to have been resolved quite logically. It's truly incredible."
"Stop praising yourself. Can you even fit into it?" Zuan asked with some concern.
"There shouldn't be any problem." Bai Fei blushed, and then, to Zu An's astonishment, she sat down in the box. Her body trembled, and she wrapped her legs around her head and lifted them behind her. She then wrapped her arms around her entire body and twisted them together in exaggerated arcs, finally shrinking into a round ball.
Looking at the woman who had transformed into a bowling ball, Zu An was momentarily stunned: "This is what you call unbelievable."
Bai Fei said shyly, "I have good flexibility and I also learned some physical skills in the Holy Church, so I can do these things."
Zu An thought to himself, "Your flexibility is more than just good; it's practically heaven-defying, boneless suppleness!"
I wonder who developed those demonic sect techniques. They're either seductive arts like Yun Jian Yue Qiu Hong Lei or heaven-defying physical techniques like Bai Fei. They're designed to completely control men.
"Did I scare you?" Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Bai Fei was a little worried.
"No, it's amazing," Zuan exclaimed sincerely.
Now it was Bai Fei's turn to feel embarrassed. With the other person staring at her like that, she felt as if she had no secrets left.
Fortunately, Zu'an quickly came to his senses and took out the fake death pill that Ji Xiaoxi had given him: "Eat this, and you will quickly fall into a state of fake death, so no one will be able to detect your presence."
When the emperor travels, he is surrounded by many talented and extraordinary people, and his aura is everywhere. There are also many experts among the imperial guards. If they discover that there is a living person in his box, then all their efforts will be in vain.
Bai Fei nodded and swallowed the medicine without hesitation.
She knew that after taking this drug, she would have no control over what happened next, but she believed that the man in front of her was someone she could trust.
As she gradually fell into a deep sleep, her heartbeat and breathing seemingly disappearing as if they had vanished, Zu An secretly marveled at how miraculous Xiao Xi's medicine was.
