"You are so brave, you are worthy of being the woman of King Jingnan." Baili Zhe smiled.
"It's just that since you took my things, you should give me something in return. How about..."
He gently stroked the dagger over her exposed right foot and jokingly said, "Will you compensate me with yourself?"
Lin Jinghan suppressed the nausea coming from her feet and tried hard to think of a way to escape. She met Baili Zhe's eyes and suddenly smiled, "Sixth Prince, your acting skills are really too poor..."
Bailizhe's hand holding the dagger suddenly stopped, "What did you say?"
"I say, the Sixth Prince's acting is too poor..." Lin Jinghan stared into Bailizhe's eyes, "Your eyes are very clear..."
There was no desire for her in his eyes, so naturally he wouldn't do such a thing to her. She was sure that he was just trying to scare her, probably to avenge her for poisoning him.
"Oh, this is so boring!" Baili Zhe shook his head, retracted the dagger, and inserted it into the side of his right leg. He stood up and walked out: I wanted to see her panic, fear and helplessness, but she actually saw through me. Really...
"Sixth Prince, are you leaving now?" Lin Jinghan completely relaxed and was even in the mood to tease the Sixth Prince who was saying one thing and doing another.
"Don't leave me here alone, it's boring, talk to me again!"
The Sixth Prince stopped, turned around, looked at Lin Jinghan, raised his eyebrows, and curled his lips, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very - attractive..."
He looked her up and down, "If you let me stay, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to control myself and really want you?"
"No, you won't. Your eyes tell me that you are a very rational person and you won't let your desires ruin things. After all, I am a very useful hostage, right?"
Is that rational? What a terrible compliment... Baili Zhe looked at Lin Jinghan deeply, turned around, and walked out.
"Hey, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Lin Jinghan shouted at his back.
He didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't hear her.
After making sure that Baili Zhe had gone far away and her strength had recovered, Lin Jinghan hurriedly looked around, thinking about how to leave.
This was a fairly spacious room with simple furnishings. It seemed not to be a permanent residence, but more like a temporary house. There were no windows or anything like that, and no light came in. Candles were lit in the room.
There is no light, either it is night or, here, it is underground!
Baili Zhe was a prince, so he must have many people around him. If they took him down and took him hostage, what would their chances of escape be? However, the medical space had already consumed half of its energy the last time it operated on its own to detoxify her snake venom. She had used it several more times since, but she still hadn't found a chance to replenish it, and the remaining energy was less than 10%.
This matter was also Sikong Zhan's fault. She specially asked Xiang Yuanqing for a day off. She wanted to go out to replenish the energy of the medical space, but she didn't go because of Sikong Zhan.
In this situation, if she fails, she might not have a chance to save herself, so she must come up with a foolproof plan.
Not long after, a woman dressed as a maid came in with hot food. Without saying a word, she carried Lin Jinghan to the table, picked up the food and started feeding her.
Lin Jinghan cooperated very well, pretending to be exhausted and letting them feed her.
The maid fed her and then carried her back to bed, not saying a word the whole time.
"How boring! Even if you don't want anyone to come and talk to me, at least give me a book to read!" Lin Jinghan deliberately tried to talk to them, but they seemed not to hear her and ignored her. They just left after finishing their business.
The maid followed Baili Zhe's instructions and reported Lin Jinghan's words to Baili Zhe.
"She wants to read?" Baili Zhe was writing a letter and smiled when he heard this. "She just wants to stay here quietly. If she has any requests, just satisfy her."
Not long after, someone sent a book to Lin Jinghan.
However, the person who delivered the book was not the maid who had taken the book earlier, but another woman - Princess Aoqing of Xiqi. Because she was puzzled as to why the Sixth Prince was so kind to a prisoner, she took over the maid's job just to come and see this special prisoner.
Seeing that Lin Jinghan was so beautiful and considering that Baili Zhe treated her so well, Princess Aoqing looked at her with a bad look.
Lin Jinghan took the book, smiled, and said thank you. She noticed that this woman's attire and temperament were very different from the maid who had delivered the meal earlier, and she could clearly sense her hostility. She sighed, imitating Baili Zhe's tone, "Oh, how boring! They're all like mutes."
Princess Ao Qing was already unhappy when she saw Lin Jinghan's face. After being provoked by Lin Jinghan's words, she snatched the book that had just been given to her, and regardless of Baili Zhe's words not to talk to her, she said angrily:
"Who are you calling dumb?"
"Hey, it can talk!" Lin Jinghan pretended to be surprised and frowned at the stolen book.
"Little maid, your master asked you to get me a book, and I haven't read it yet. How can you take it back?"
"I won't let you see it! Remember, you are Brother Zhe's prisoner now. Put away your coquettish thoughts and don't try to seduce my Brother Zhe!" Princess Ao Qing held the book, glared at Lin Jinghan fiercely, snorted, and walked out angrily.
Lin Jinghan yelled at the top of her lungs, "Ah! How boring! Sixth Prince, your people took my books! Your people don't listen to you, you're not good at managing your subordinates!"
Princess Ao Qing was afraid that Baili Zhezhen would hear what Lin Jinghan said, so she rushed over angrily and smashed the book at Lin Jinghan, "Shut up! If you keep yelling, I'll pull out your tongue!"
Lin Jinghan shrugged, shut up, and started reading the book carefully.
Princess Ao Qing returned to her room angrily, "She's just a prisoner, why is Brother Zhe so nice to her! What a vixen! She must have seduced Brother Zhe!"
The maid poured a cup of tea for Princess Ao Qing and comforted her, "My dear princess, Your Highness has abducted her because she is very useful, so he treats her well. If the princess is unhappy, when she is no longer useful, whether she lives or dies is up to the princess."
"But I am just angry! I get angry when I see her face! I can't wait any longer, I want her to be in trouble now!" Princess Ao Qing drank the tea in the cup in one breath and whispered a few words to the maid.
Soon, Lin Jinghan's door was opened, and several maids came in one after another, carrying a bathtub into the room. They quickly filled it with hot water and carefully added flower petals. Then, without saying a word, they picked up Lin Jinghan and were about to strip her naked and put her into the bathtub.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Jinghan stopped the maid's rude movements. "I have very high requirements for bathing. Carry me to the tub. I want to check the water myself."
The maid still didn't say anything, and actually put Lin Jinghan next to the bathtub as she requested.
