Xinyue did not tell her brother about this. After all, there was only a 30% chance, and she didn't want her brother to experience hope and despair.
The hour of midnight has arrived.
Xinyue walked to the basement of the room alone, walked to the corner skillfully, picked up the rolled handkerchief and bit it in her mouth, squatted in the corner, waiting for death to come.
As midnight arrived, Xinyue's body gradually grew taller and she became a graceful young lady.
In the blink of an eye, she became a woman again, her black hair gradually turned white and her skin became wrinkled.
As her face aged, the vitality in Xinyue's body gradually disappeared. The pain caused by the decline of her internal organs made her curl up in a ball, hugging herself.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her wet clothes stuck to her body until she stopped breathing.
Time passed little by little, the stopped heartbeat began to beat, the blood began to flow, and the face slowly returned to the way it was when he came in.
Xinyue opened her eyes, her face pale. She loosened her handkerchief, realizing that she had survived another night.
Yes, the price of her survival now is to experience the pain of life and death every night.
It was just a moment, but only she knew the pain involved.
Holding on to the wall, Xinyue walked out slowly. The bathtub had already been filled with hot water.
Soaking in the bathtub, Xinyue was extremely clear-headed. Xu Jinyi's words came to her mind. She wished she could live like a normal person.
Even if it's only for a few years, it would be nice to let her live a normal life.
Han Ting stood outside the door and watched the lights go out before leaving.
The next day, Xu Jinyi bought some snacks and came to the house.
When Xinyue saw her, she was so happy that she warmly took her hand and took her to visit the Regent's Palace.
"Sister, you must not have had breakfast yet, will you stay with me?"
Xu Jinyi really didn't have her meal. She didn't want to be hypocritical in front of that group of people, so she went out early in the morning.
If she just comes to eat, will people think she is just trying to get free food?
"Sister, don't worry. My brother should have gone to court. He's often not at home. Don't be afraid."
Xinyue noticed Xu Jinyi's hesitation and thought she was worried about meeting her brother.
"Although the Regent has a bad reputation, he is not a ruthless killer, so I am not afraid of him."
Xinyue blinked: "Sister is really different. Others tremble when they hear my brother's name. Seeing him is like the arrival of the evil spirit."
"Then please dine with me, sister."
However, when the two stepped into the hall, they saw Han Ting, dressed in court robes, not going to court, but eating breakfast leisurely.
Xu Jinyi had completely forgotten what happened that night after he got drunk. Now looking at the muscular Regent, he felt that he exuded a wild masculinity.
His righteousness and stern expression made him look serious and majestic.
An ascetic man, these words popped up in Xu Jinyi's mind.
While Xu Jinyi was sizing up the other person, Han Ting was also observing her.
He found that the little girl had not only grown up and become more beautiful, but she was also captivating just by standing there.
"Your servant greets the Regent."
After Xu Jinyi said this, he found that the air around him had become much cooler.
She could feel the gaze coming from that man, but she did nothing.
Her appearance wouldn't make a man fall in love with her at first sight, but she wouldn't make him hate her at first sight either!
Xu Jinyi only felt a chill on his neck and glanced at the cold eyes in confusion.
I felt confused and overwhelmed. This time, the target of my strategy had such a bad impression at first sight. Forget about being a backer, I was afraid it would be difficult to even get close to him.
Seeing that Xu Jinyi treated him as a complete stranger, Han Ting's eyes became even colder, and he stared at Xu Jinyi with a sharp gaze.
Xinyue also noticed her brother's unfriendly gaze and quickly pulled Xu Jinyi up to stand in front of her.
"Brother, why haven't you gone to court yet?"
With his view blocked, Han Ting felt irritated.
He didn't expect that she had forgotten everything that happened that night.
Little liar!
I clearly said that I could recognize him at a glance, but when I sobered up I didn't remember what I said.
Is it possible to recognize yourself when you are drunk, but not remember yourself when you are sober?
Thinking about how he had been thinking about him all the time these days, she, on the other hand, had completely forgotten about him.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Han Ting felt.
Putting down his chopsticks, Han Ting left with an unhappy look on his face.
Xu Jinyi raised an eyebrow: "Does your brother dislike me? As if I owe him money?"
Xinyue also couldn't understand his brother: "Don't worry about him, let's eat."
Xu Jinyi nodded and quickly put Han Ting out of his mind.
…
In the garden of the Prince Regent's Palace.
The dance teacher asked to see Xu Jinyi's qualifications and asked her to perform an impromptu dance.
Xu Jinyi could naturally see that the teacher was deliberately making things difficult for her and didn't want to teach her. After all, she was just invited by the Regent to teach the princess.
Xu Jinyi saw hostility in the eyes of the female teacher. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood where the hostility came from.
Yes, although the Regent has a bad reputation, his good looks and the power in his hands can indeed drive women crazy.
Xu Jinyi will naturally suppress his future love rival.
Xu Jinyi didn't change her clothes, she just twisted her waist and started dancing gracefully. Her slender waist twisted and her agile body danced along with it.
As she stood on tiptoe, spun and jumped, the hem of her skirt danced like a nimble butterfly, lifelike and breathtakingly beautiful.
Han Ting on the pavilion, his eyes unconsciously deepened, his fingers stroking with unknown emotions.
If you look at him from the front, you will definitely notice his constantly rolling Adam's apple and dark red earlobes.
"I didn't expect that the real daughter of the Xu family has something special. Just look at her temperament. She doesn't have the air of a country bumpkin at all." Shangguan Yu also saw this scene.
Han Ting pursed his lips. He was so engrossed in watching that he forgot Shangguan Yu had followed him back.
"Didn't you say there was progress in Xinyue's poison? Tell me about it."
Over there, Master Zhang looked at Xu Jinyi's charming dance and became so angry that his face turned green.
But seeing Princess Xinyue clapping, she could only clap along with her.
"Sister, you dance so beautifully. I don't think you need to learn how to dance, Master. Don't you think so?"
Master Zhang nodded stiffly, "Miss Xu has a flexible figure and is already an excellent dancer. She really doesn't need to learn."
Master Zhang was not willing to teach Xu Jinyi at all. She wished Xu Jinyi would leave immediately so that the Regent would not come back and see her and be tempted.
Xinyue nodded happily and got up to go to the toilet.
Only the Master and Xu Jinyi were left in the garden, and the Master's expression instantly turned unfriendly.
She walked up to Xu Jinyi and warned her, "The princess is kind and innocent. If Miss Xu approaches her with any ulterior motive, the consequences will probably not be good."
"Thank you for your advice, Master Zhang, but Xinyue and I are truly friends, so please don't worry about me."
