An An nodded without thinking, blinked her big eyes a few times, and murmured:
"Well, I've felt there's something wrong with him. He gives me a very familiar feeling. Besides, I think I already know who he is."
Huang Yun took a breath and looked at her in surprise.
"Do you know who he is? Then tell me."
An An blinked her eyebrows and snorted without thinking.
"He is Lengxi, Prince Xi, my father's younger brother, my good fifth uncle, Xiaobao's father..."
After they were locked up here, when An An saw Leng Xi with his face covered for the first time, she guessed it was him.
A few years ago, she was sent out of the city for the first time, and she almost ended up on the streets and died in a foreign land. It was Leng Xi who did it. She remembered clearly that at that time, he also had his face covered like this, and his eyes were sinister and a little indifferent. She would never forget those eyes in her life.
Hearing her call out Leng Xi's name, Huang Yun took a breath. She didn't expect that An An was the same as she guessed. It seemed that this person was undoubtedly Leng Xi.
They are now in Leng Xi's hands.
At this moment, the door opened again. Leng Xi probably came in to get the lunch box. Huang Yun shook An An's hand vigorously, signaling her not to make a sound.
After Leng Xi came in, he looked at the remaining food on the table, lowered his voice unhappily, and asked coldly:
"Who hasn't eaten? Why not? Aren't you afraid of starving to death?"
Huang Yun raised his head and replied decisively:
"I'm not hungry and don't want to eat."
"Hmph! Don't play tricks on me. Just stay here obediently. In six days, you can go out."
Huang Yun glared at him hatefully. An An suddenly raised his voice and called out:
"You want to cause trouble on the day my father ascends the throne? I advise you not to use me to threaten my father. Even if I die, I will not let you succeed."
An An's words made Leng Xi, who was carrying a lunch box and preparing to leave, stunned for a moment.
He suddenly looked up at An An with hatred in his eyes.
An An stared at him with wide eyes, questioning him word by word.
"You are Leng Xi, my good fifth uncle, right?"
Leng Xi had never expected that even though he wrapped himself up so tightly and deliberately lowered his voice every time he came in to talk to them, he was still recognized by this little girl.
Since that was the case, he simply stopped hiding it. He directly pulled off the black silk on his face, revealing his original face, and looked at An An with a ferocious look.
"Yes, I am Leng Xi. So what if you recognize me? No matter what, you can't leave here."
Huang Yun saw that he admitted his identity and immediately asked angrily,
"Leng Xi, what on earth do you want to do? Why are you locking us up here? Aren't you afraid that my father will come after you? Aren't you afraid that Prince Yu will chop you into pieces?"
"Hahaha!"
Leng Xi's eyes flashed with arrogance, and then he raised his head and laughed wildly.
"Whatever you say now is in vain. No one knows you're here, and no one will find you. But don't worry, I won't let you stay here for too long. On the 18th day of the first lunar month, you will be two chess pieces in my hand. Then, I will let you see whoever you want to see..."
Leng Xi's words made An An so angry that her teeth itched. She pointed at him and cursed him angrily.
"You're truly despicable. I'm telling you, don't try to use me to blackmail my father. He won't fall for it. I advise you to stop now. I can get my father to spare your life. Otherwise, you'll die without a burial place."
"Little girl, you have a really venomous tongue, but I won't bother with you. After all, you are my niece, and I won't hurt you. Okay, you two can continue to stay here!"
As he spoke, he picked up the lunch box and walked towards the door. Huang Yun and An An looked at his back, feeling so angry that their teeth were itching.
The moment the door was closed again, An An couldn't wait to ask:
"Sister Huang, what kind of food did he put the cartilage powder in? I think if we can both recover our kung fu, we might be able to hold off him for a while."
Huang Yun sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Since he wants to keep us locked up, he'll naturally have countless ways to do it. Don't you think there's a reason why he stays in this room for so short a time each time? It's because not only is there cartilage powder in the food we eat, but even the burning candles, the incense, and the air are all filled with it. It would be incredibly difficult for us to escape from here just by ourselves."
"What should we do? Are we just going to wait here to die? The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is the day my father ascended the throne. This is what the people want. I absolutely cannot let him use me to threaten my father."
"Don't worry. Leng Xi has locked us up here, and he's the only one who comes and goes. This proves that this place is unknown to outsiders. It won't be easy for us to escape, but there are ways. How about this? When he comes again, we'll surrender to him and pretend to obey him in everything. This will make him lower his guard against us. Then we can find a way to keep him here for a while. When he's also poisoned by the cartilage powder, we can find a way to control him and escape."
An An pouted and sighed helplessly.
"Sister Huang, I think your idea is stupid. He's not a fool. He knows he'll be poisoned if he stays here for too long, so how could he stay any longer? Besides, if we give in, will he believe it? Only a fool would believe that!"
Huang Yun shrugged helplessly.
"I know, but there's no other way. Seeing you're so anxious, I can only say this to comfort you."
An An stretched himself, yawned, and sighed lazily.
"Forget it, don't think about it. If you have the time, you might as well get some more sleep. Anyway, I think my father and mother will come to save me. I wonder if your father and mother will come to save you."
Hearing this, Huang Yun's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he shook his head.
"My father might be worried because I'm lost, but he definitely won't risk a lot of money to save me, nor will he go to great lengths to look for me like your father did. As for my mother, she's helpless right now and has no way to come find me."
"Isn't your father your real father? If you were lost, shouldn't he be very worried?"
"He's my biological father, but not my biological father."
Having said that, Huang Yun lowered his head somewhat dejectedly.
An An hurriedly comforted her softly,
"Sister Huang, don't be sad. My father is here to rescue me, and he will definitely rescue you as well."
"Oh!"
Huang Yun suddenly shook her head and smiled bitterly. An An didn't know her true identity yet, so she said that. If she knew that she was from Beihai Kingdom and the eldest princess of Beihai Kingdom, she would not only not be able to laugh, but would also hate herself!
