Chapter 177 Then Kill Me Now!
What does this person mean?
Since you saved her, why tie her up?
Bai Wutong tried pulling the chain twice, but the boulder didn't move at all.
It seems that it is almost impossible for her to escape...
Now that you are here, make the most of it.
Anyway, she had already anticipated the worst outcome, so there was nothing to be afraid of. The most urgent thing was to recover her body first.
The wound on the arm was deep and the blood was clotted.
She didn't know if it was the effect of the powder, but she didn't feel any pain. Instead, she felt numb and sore.
She didn't dare move, so she picked up the fruit with her good hand and took a few bites.
It’s not very delicious, but it can replenish water and make you feel full.
After eating two fruits, the feeling of fatigue came over me again.
Especially when sitting next to the fire, the warm feeling made her eyes blink.
Before he knew it, Bai Wutong fell asleep again.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
A subtle sound was heard.
Bai Wutong woke up instantly and opened his eyes.
Night fell and it was pitch black outside.
The woods blocked the moonlight, and the entrance of the cave looked like a giant beast with its mouth open.
By the way, the fire is so obvious that you can probably see it even from a long distance.
Bai Wutong immediately grabbed the clothes next to him and covered the fire with them.
After a few kicks, the flames were completely extinguished.
The entire cave fell into darkness.
Bai Wutong held his breath and stared outside.
Da da da…
The sound is getting closer, it's... footsteps!
Is the Man in Black back?
Finally, a dark shadow appeared before my eyes.
No, that's not the Man in Black.
He looked tall and slender, and the wind blew his long hair, swaying slightly at his side.
His hands were on his waist, seemingly holding the hilt of a sword.
Bai Wutong grasped the long sword beside her. Fortunately, the man in black left her a weapon before leaving. Otherwise, she would be tied here and would have no chance to resist at all.
The black shadow stood at the door, looked at her quietly for a moment, and slowly entered the cave.
The closer you get, the more light is blocked.
Bai Wutong only saw darkness and couldn't see the other person's face at all.
A faint bamboo scent wafts to my face.
The chain was grabbed by someone and instantly tightened.
Bai Wutong thrust out his long sword.
The opponent blocked it effortlessly.
"It's me." A familiar voice came.
"Master Jin?" Bai Wutong's heart suddenly dropped. "You...why didn't you say anything when you came in?"
Jin Zhi did not answer, but suddenly moved closer, leaned down, and whispered hotly in Bai Wutong's ear, "Empress Zhao, you used me."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Madame Li, why didn't you tell me about Wei Ge being framed?" If Jin Zhi had known earlier, he would have found a way to clear Jin Wei Ge's name, and she wouldn't have had to endure such a hard life in the harem for several months.
"Why should I tell you?" Bai Wutong's voice was cold. Because the chains were taut, she could only sit very straight. But this made her exert force and the wound on her arm felt numb again.
She simply raised her hand, grabbed the clothes on Jin Zhi's chest, and used him for leverage. "Master Jin, don't forget that Jin Weige tried to kill me time and time again! My child almost got into trouble because of her. I didn't harm her, but just hid Nanny Li. I have already repaid evil with kindness! Besides, didn't I help Jin Weige clear her grievances this time? Even if I used you, you also got benefits! Don't talk here as if I am the unforgivable sinner and you are the one who got wronged!"
Jin Zhi was silent for a long time, his voice a little hoarse, "I saved you and helped you, isn't this enough to make up for it?"
He didn't want to see Jin Weige and Bai Wutong confront each other.
One is his sister, and the other is the only woman he has loved for all these years.
"If you say so, of course I can." Bai Wutong let go of her hand and let her body lean against the cold stone wall. When she touched the wound, she felt a sudden pain and took a breath of cold air. "If you are helping me for Jin Weige, then I have nothing to say. Go away. I don't need Jin Weige to help me. I would rather die here than suffer such humiliation."
Jin Zhi didn't say anything, but held her waist and led her towards him, "Your arm is injured, why don't you hold on to me?"
Bai Wutong leaned weakly on his shoulder, "Master Jin, since you are doing this for your sister, what's the point of me holding on tighter?"
In the pitch-black night, Jin Zhi’s expression could not be seen clearly.
He was silent for a moment, supported Bai Wutong, and took out a fire starter.
As the flames reignited.
Bai Wutong finally saw his appearance clearly.
He was dusty and untidy, but it still couldn't hide his stern look and murderous aura.
Jin Zhi looked at her arm. "Your wound is very serious and needs to be treated. It was raining outside when I came. I can't leave tonight. Let's wait until tomorrow."
"No need." Bai Wutong turned slightly to the side, with his back to him, "Jin Weige wants to kill me, this is a good opportunity for you."
"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive today." Jin Zhi simply changed his position, came to her side, took out a dagger, and gently cut open the clothes on her shoulders.
Bai Wutong did not resist. As long as he had the attitude, it would be fine. Your body is your own and should not be used as a joke.
She could already clearly feel that her body was a little hot.
She wanted to be a queen in the future, so she couldn't have any disabilities.
No one spoke, only the sound of applying medicine could be heard.
The hot fingers would occasionally scratch my skin, bringing with them pain.
Bai Wutong clenched his teeth tightly and made no sound.
Jin Zhi felt the trembling of the thin body and paused, "If it hurts too much, you can shout out. It's safe around here and no one can find you."
Bai Wutong couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, mumbling to herself, "Why? What did I do wrong?"
She only showed her side face, with drooping eyelashes and crystal tears streaking across her face. Under the candlelight, her slender body, palm-sized face, and slightly messy long hair showed a kind of broken beauty.
Jin Zhi felt as if his heart was being held by someone, and his breathing became heavy. "No, you did nothing wrong. This is a struggle for power. As long as you are qualified to participate in it, you can only passively bear it. You gave birth to two princes, blocking the way for others, so they naturally want to get rid of you."
Bai Wutong turned around and looked at him, tears streaming down her face. "Among those who killed me, there were your men. I almost forgot just now!"
She grabbed Jin Zhi's hand and placed it on her slender neck, "Then kill me now! If I go back alive, I will definitely work hard to climb up, and no one can hurt me again!"
Jin Zhi felt the beating pulse and his eyes involuntarily fell on her snow-white neck.
A scratch had already solidified, and a drop of glaring scarlet blood flowed out, sank into the chest, and disappeared.
"I... I don't know about this. I went to Tongzhi County and just came back today. It was other people from the Jin family who were involved in this matter."
Bai Wutong suddenly lost his strength, fell into his arms, and his vision went dark.
I don’t know if it was because she was too nervous and scared when Jin Zhi came, so she drew her sword to defend herself, and she also made some violent movements just now, which caused her blood to flow and triggered her hidden injuries.
In addition to her arms, she also had many wounds on her body. Although not fatal, the combined effect was enough to get her into trouble.
Jin Zhi was worried that Bai Wutong would fall, so he had to hug her slender waist.
The hot breath hit his neck and body.
"You have a fever." Jin Zhi took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
But Bai Wutong's eyes were already dazed, he had no reaction at all, and he was unable to swallow.
"Empress Zhao?"
