Cuizhu nodded calmly, "I was an ordinary maidservant beside the leader before."

"Even an ordinary maid is so pretty. Your Wateng is indeed a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. By the way, it must be very tiring to serve the leader. Do you want to sit down and eat something together?"

Chu Weiyue invited her enthusiastically, and also wanted to play the emotional card with her.

It was obvious that this maid came to monitor her. She woke up once in the middle of the process and felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

If my guess is correct, she is watching outside.

Cuizhu said nothing, just lowered her head and said nothing, obviously not appreciating the gesture.

Chu Weiyue was frustrated, but she was not discouraged and continued to chat with her.

Seeing that she refused to say anything, he ignored her and just started eating.

After eating, Cuizhu tidied up the things and brought water for washing her face.

After washing her face, Chu Weiyue walked around in the tent and wanted to go out for some exercise, but Cuizhu stood in her way.

"Miss, you can only move around here. If you want to move around, you need the leader's approval, and you need to find special soldiers to protect your safety. It's dark and windy now, so why not go out tomorrow?"

Her tone was respectful, but also chilling.

It seemed to be a warning to Chu Weiyue that she was still imprisoned.

Some words sound nice, but anyone who is not stupid can understand their meaning.

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "You have nothing to do late at night, why don't you come over and tell me about your Wateng."

Chu Weiyue pretended to hold her hand affectionately and asked her to sit next to him.

Cuizhu stood up and said, "I'd better stand and talk to you. It's actually quite lively over in Wateng..."

She patiently explained to Chu Weiyue what she had seen and heard.

Chu Weiyue had already read about what she said in books and heard about it from other people. She did not find it strange, but instead felt drowsy.

He yawned and gestured to her to stop.

"Okay, stop talking. I'm sleepy."

I wasn't that sleepy at first, but after listening to her chattering on for a long time, I started to feel sleepy again.

In the next few days, Chu Weiyue tried to get close to her, but without exception, she rejected him every time.

That morning, after having breakfast, Chu Weiyue sat in the tent and read a book.

Noticing that the maid wasn't there, she frowned slightly.

When I came outside, I found that there was no one there.

According to her observations over the past few days, it seemed that no one came to monitor for an hour or two after breakfast.

If she runs away at this time, will she be caught?

In order to verify how long it would take them to react, Chu Weiyue deliberately came to the outside of the tent quietly.

The soldiers nearby were all conducting exercises, so there was no one there.

Then she walked around here casually.

Because there were many soldiers guarding the periphery, they were not worried that Chu Weiyue would escape.

There were many people guarding the place, and they seemed certain that she couldn't escape.

When he reached the outermost layer, Chu Weiyue gasped.

The guards here are really tight. It's impossible to escape easily. No wonder they let their guard down.

Just then, I smelled a scent.

When I came to the tent on one side, I found many cooks cutting vegetables.

Because there was a small stone on the ground, Chu Weiyue lost his balance and fell directly to the ground, kicking the basin of vegetables to the ground with a bang.

A man in armor came over, and when he saw Chu Weiyue, his brows frowned slightly.

Chu Weiyue didn't recognize him, but he did know Chu Weiyue.

He came to Chu Weiyue with some indifference and said, "Miss, you are here. I thought something happened to you. Please come back with me."

Chu Weiyue felt excruciating pain, and her foot seemed to be twisted.

The man walked over and helped her up. Seeing that her ankle was sprained, he took her to the military doctor.

After his injuries were treated, Chu Weiyue was sent back to the tent.

Because of the unbearable pain, she stayed in bed.

I didn't wake up until the next morning, feeling groggy and hungry.

Cuizhu came in from outside, looking strange.

Just as she put the food next to Chu Weiyue, she saw the wound on her wrist, which shocked Chu Weiyue.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so seriously injured?" He immediately held Cuizhu's arm with some concern in his eyes.

Looking at Chu Weiyue's gentle eyes, Cuizhu couldn't hold back any longer, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she knelt directly on the ground.

"Miss, I beg you not to run away again. If anything happens to you, I will be punished. All the injuries on my body were caused by the leader. He thought I didn't serve you well, so he let you make a mistake..."

She lifted up her clothes, revealing the bruises.

Her calves were covered with whip marks, no less severe than his own.

Chu Weiyue felt a little guilty and nodded without hesitation.

"I promise you that I will never get you into trouble in the future. I also know that being a slave is the most difficult thing for you."

She took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on her wrist.

"This is my compensation to you. Although it can't relieve the physical injuries, girls all love beauty."

Cuizhu was so moved that she burst into tears and cried until she was confused again.

The meal prepared today was very sumptuous, and Chu Weiyue couldn't finish it all by herself.

She handed a pair of chopsticks to Cuizhu, "You are injured and you should take good care of yourself. I know the food in your barracks is not that good, let alone you girls. Let's eat together."

"How can this be done?"

"If I say yes, then it's fine. Don't refuse. Come and have dinner with me. If you don't, I will complain to the leader."

Chu Weiyue snorted in dissatisfaction and acted angry.

Cuizhu then nodded and agreed, but she ate the meal with trepidation.

After that, Chu Weiyue took her with him every time he ate.

After three days, their injuries were almost healed.

Perhaps because she felt that Chu Weiyue was good to her, Cuizhu became much more sincere in her attitude towards Chu Weiyue.

That evening, Cuizhu was serving Chu Weiyue in her tent.

Seeing her somewhat lonely expression, Cuizhu asked cautiously.

"Miss, are you missing the prince? I heard that you and the Ninth Prince are already engaged."

"Yes, I am engaged to the Ninth Prince, but I don't know how he is doing now. I haven't seen him for so many days, he must miss him very much."

Chu Weiyue let out a long sigh and looked at the moonlight outside the small window. The longing in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

This made Cuizhu feel a little sad, and she wanted to say something.

Chu Weiyue noticed her strangeness and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? What do you want to say?"

Cuizhu opened her mouth, not knowing whether she should say it or not. She struggled fiercely in her heart for a long time before she said what was in her heart.

“There are some things I should tell you. You’ve been so good to me, I can’t be a heartless person. In fact, the Waten clan is very special. Currently, their power is divided into two factions, with a total of two leaders.

One is big, the other is small. The big chief is unwilling to attack and become a vassal state, but the small chief is very eager to succeed! "
