"Young Master! Are you really going to save Manager Xu?"
"To save Manager Xu, it will take the cost of a Tian Shan snow lotus!"
"That snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains is a life-saving medicine!"
"If you encounter any danger in the future, without the Tian Shan Snow Lotus, you might lose your life!"
Chu Guangbai's subordinates naturally only sided with their own young master and were completely unwilling for Chu Guangbai to rescue Xu Yuehuai!
However, Chu Guangbai said, "It's just a Tian Shan snow lotus. I have plenty of good medicines."
"If your young master needs more medicine, I can afford it!"
As Chu Guangbai spoke, he fanned himself, and under the moonlight, he was enveloped in a pure and jade-like glow.
His skin was as white as snow, and he exuded a lazy aura.
"Young Master! That's a precious medicine that the Old Madam searched far and wide for for you!"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm perfectly healthy now. It's just that I'm missing one good medicine. It's no big deal."
Chu Guangbai waved his hand and walked into the courtyard, not wanting to discuss anything else with his subordinates.
Upon hearing this, the subordinate didn't say anything more, sighed, and withdrew.
Inside the prison, in such a cold environment, Xu Yuehuai couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
"It's so cold!"
"Is anyone there? Bring me a blanket!"
"I'm freezing to death!"
"Do you have no humanity left?"
Xu Yuehuai could no longer bear it and shouted at the surroundings of the prison.
The jailer stretched lazily and said to Xu Yuehuai, "What are you shouting for in the middle of the night?"
"Everyone lives like this, so why are you considered more precious than others?"
"Everyone who comes here receives the same treatment."
"Don't think that just because you're special outside, you can still be treated differently from others once you're in prison."
Xu Yuehuai said, "Brother jailer, please have mercy! The temperature has dropped in the middle of the night, don't let me freeze to death, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups!"
When the jailer saw Xu Yuehuai's thin arms and legs and her frail appearance, his face immediately darkened.
"You're the hardest to please, aren't you?"
Do you have this?
As the jailer spoke, he rubbed his hands together, signaling Xu Yuehuai to give him some kickbacks.
Where would Xu Yuehuai find any silver left? He had given all the little silver he had on him to another jailer, asking him to help spread the message.
Xu Yuehuai was now completely penniless! He had no money to give to the jailer in front of him!
Seeing the troubled look on Xu Yuehuai's face, the jailer couldn't help but spit.
"Tch, you have nothing on you, and you expect me to help you?"
Xu Yuehua frowned, feeling truly helpless in this situation.
Suddenly, the jailer noticed a jade hairpin in Xu Yuehuai's hair and asked, "Is that hairpin in your hair made of jade?"
"Yes, of course!"
This was a gift from Qi Guze to Xu Yuehuai! Xu Yuehuai has been wearing it on her head lately! It's a very special treasure!
She had barely responded when a greedy glint appeared in the eyes of the jailer opposite her.
Xu Yuehuai then realized that the jailer probably had his eye on the jade hairpin in her hair.
"I can't give you this hairpin!"
Xu Yuehuai immediately pulled the hairpin out, fearing that the jailer might reach in and snatch it away later.
The jailer sneered, "It's just a hairpin. Compared to the good food and drink you're enjoying here, which is more important?"
He stared at Xu Yuehuai with a half-smile, waiting for Xu Yuehuai to make a decision.
There was no way Xu Yuehuai would give away the things Qi Guze had given her to other people.
If the jailer takes the jade hairpin, he will surely resell it to someone else in no time.
This jade hairpin has a very smooth and lustrous texture, without any impurities. It is made of top-quality material, and the carving is also excellent. It is decorated with plum blossoms, which is particularly meaningful.
If they were scattered in the market, they would probably change hands many times in no time.
By then, even if Xu Yuehuai gets out of prison, finding the jade hairpin from outside will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Ah Fu originally carried a jade pendant that went unnoticed by others, but when it was passed on to Ah Qi, Ah Qi used it!
Thinking about all this, Xu Yuehuai was even less likely to give away her jade hairpin to anyone else.
"There's absolutely no way I'll give you that! Don't even think about it!"
Xu Yuehuai spoke to the jailer while keeping a very wary eye on him.
She was starting to regret not having worn more gold and silver jewelry with her.
Xu Yuehuai usually disliked dressing up too formally, and apart from the jade hairpin that Qi Guze gave her, she didn't have any other accessories.
After today's events, Xu Yuehuai decided that from now on, she should always carry some valuables with her, so that she could at least be prepared for emergencies.
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, the jailer gave Xu Yuehuai a cold look.
"You're unwilling to give me anything, but you expect me to fetch you bedding?"
"If you won't give me this jade hairpin, you can give me something else!"
The jailer stared lecherously at Xu Yuehuai's private parts, a sight that made Xu Yuehuai feel extremely disgusted.
"I think you're asking for trouble!"
Xu Yuehuai stopped talking politely to the prison guard and started swearing!
She said coldly, "If you keep staring at me with that disgusting look, believe me, I'll make sure your eyes leave your eyes in the next moment!"
The jailer simply didn't believe that Xu Yuehuai could do anything while locked up in prison. He curled his lips into a mocking smile and stared at Xu Yuehuai with disgusting eyes, as if he were appraising a piece of merchandise.
"You're ignoring what I say, aren't you?"
"I'll show you! Look again!"
Xu Yuehuai reached through the iron bars, grabbed the jailer by the collar, and pulled his head against the cage, pressing his face against the bars and leaving several marks. Then, with the jade hairpin in his other hand, he pointed the tip directly at the jailer's neck!
The jailers were caught off guard and had no idea that Xu Yuehuai actually had some skills.
"You're already locked up here, and you still dare to lay a hand on me!"
"Believe it or not, I'll call someone over later and have you severely tortured!"
The jailer glared fiercely at Xu Yuehuai and reached out to hit him.
Xu Yuehuai moved nimbly and dodged to the side.
"You want to subject me to severe punishment? I am Princess Heyue of the Great Zhou Kingdom! If you're not afraid of the Great Zhou's iron cavalry trampling your Mingyue Kingdom to smithereens, you're welcome to try!"
Xu Yuehuai was not afraid of the jailer's threats at all and directly threatened him back!
She was certain that the jailer would never dare to lay a hand on her!
