Chapter 71 Escape
After Chu Jingchuan left and Xiaolan was the only one left, Lin Xi asked, "Do you have a cell phone?"
"Sorry, Miss Lin, I can't lend you my cell phone." Only after Chu Jingchuan gave the order could Xiaolan lend her cell phone to Lin Xi.
"Oh." Then he sneered.
I don’t know what Chu Jingchuan is going to do?
Not allowing her to contact the outside world, are they trying to imprison her?
Then he said to Xiaolan, "I've been stuck in this room for too long. Can you go for a walk with me?"
"Okay, Miss Lin, I'll accompany you to take a look outside the palace. The scenery of the palace is quite beautiful."
"Um."
Palace-style buildings should have red walls and green tiles, like those in TV dramas.
However, in the Singapore Palace, every three steps you take, you can see a colorful magnolia flower hanging on the wall.
Lin Xi asked: "Why are there so many magnolias?"
"Magnolia is the flower of royalty."
"Look, someone is flying a kite."
"It should be the kite of Her Royal Highness the Little Princess."
"oh."
"Yes, the little princess is the youngest child of the royal family. She is only five years old now. She is considered the darling of the family."
"Okay then. Come with me to that pavilion and sit for a while."
Large red roses are blooming around the pavilion.
"good."
Sitting in the pavilion, Lin Xi's eyes moved around, observing everything around him.
Thinking about the route to leave again...
If I could contact Chen Yan, he would definitely be able to get me out.
Unfortunately, there is no phone now.
The sun at noon is too strong, and Lin Xi will feel tired and exhausted after being outside for a long time.
I went back and took another nap. When I woke up, the sun was setting.
Lin Xi felt the room was stuffy, so she got out of bed and opened the window.
A cool breeze blew, Lin Xi leaned against the window and closed her eyes.
Until, "Bang, bang, bang..."
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Xi almost fell asleep and immediately stood up straight.
"Come in."
Xiaolan walked in.
Said: "His Highness invites you to dinner."
"Oh, I have no appetite. I won't go."
"Then you won't have breakfast?" Xiaolan asked.
"I'm not eating anymore. Just tell Chu Jingchuan that."
This really puts Xiaolan in a difficult position.
He stammered, "I'm afraid His Highness will be unhappy."
"There are so many things that make him unhappy. Do we have to give in to him in everything?"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa.
Xiaolan just stood there motionless, and Lin Xi looked back at her.
He knew that if he didn't go, Xiaolan would be punished for her incompetence.
This little girl is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and should be of college age.
Finally, she softened her heart.
Went with Xiaolan.
During the meal, Lin Xi remained silent. She did not respond when Chu Jingchuan spoke to her.
The atmosphere became awkward for a while.
"What? Are you unhappy staying here?"
"I still have a lot of things to do and a lot of work to handle in Jingbei." And Lin Xi really missed her son because she hadn't seen Gu Zhaoyun for so many days.
"In a few days, I will take you back personally."
"Really?" Lin Xi was skeptical.
"Um."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi sneered, "You really have to bow your head when you live under someone else's roof."
Chu Jingchuan stopped talking and ate with a blank expression.
Lin Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
…
After dinner, Lin Xi returned to her room.
I feel a little angry.
Tell Xiaolan directly, "I won't eat dinner. Let Chu Jingchuan find someone else."
After saying that, he locked the door.
I really can't stand Xiaolan as my "personal servant".
She is independent!
This is the education we received since childhood, girls must be independent!
****
Because he didn't have dinner, Chu Jingchuan came to find Lin Xi.
He asked with concern, "Aren't you hungry if you don't eat?"
"Where's your fiancée?"
"What?"
"Don't you have a fiancée?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Um."
"What do you mean? It's so vague."
"without……"
"I have children, and I want to go home to see my children."
"I told you I'll send you back in a few days."
"How many days are in a few days? How many days are left?"
"It's so urgent, and you're not well yet. Is it really okay to make this long journey?"
"Wouldn't your fiancée think too much if she knew you were having dinner with other women every day?"
"Heh." Chu Jingchuan laughed.
"Or, you broke up and you are single?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Then you won't let me go because you like me and want to keep me?"
"You can understand it that way." Chu Jingchuan did not deny it.
"We are not suitable." Lin Xi refused directly, and also wanted to make things clear with Chu Jingchuan, "Although my husband is no longer in this world, I am still Mrs. Gu. My husband and I have a lovely son who is only a little over one year old."
"So, you're a widow, huh?"
"No, I am Madam Gu. It is not reasonable for you to imprison me here."
"You think I'm holding you captive?"
"Excuse me, if this isn't imprisonment, what is it?"
"good."
So Chu Jingchuan turned on the TV.
The TV is reporting that the young lady of the Gu Group is still alive and well, and there is a high possibility that she has not survived.
"I'm not dead, I'm not..." Lin Xi roared.
I even think these reports are ridiculous!
No wonder her mother hadn't looked for her in all these days, not even Chen Yan...
They all thought, she was dead?
But she didn't either.
When Lin Xi thought of this, he became panicked instantly.
"Lin Xi, look carefully. In your country, you are no longer here. No one would go crazy looking for a dead person."
"Don't go back. Isn't the palace good enough? Being my princess is something many women would love to have."
"Then let them be the boss. I don't care!"
"I'll take you back in a few days."
"Same sentence, how many days will it take?"
"Wait until you feel better, okay?"
Lin Xi looked at Chu Jingchuan in front of her and felt terrified. She took several steps back. "Since you have so many women, why force me? I've been married twice and have a one-and-a-half-year-old baby..."
"I don't think I'm a beauty, and I'm not young anymore, nor am I a little girl. Chu Jingchuan, please let me go."
"But you have something unique about you that ordinary people don't have."
"What? Tell me, and let me know clearly when I die."
"No, Xixi. One day you will find out for yourself." Chu Jingchuan said this very gently.
"I'm twenty-six years old, and it's been eight years since I turned eighteen. Can you please stop doing this? Let me go back, my mother needs me, my son needs me..." Having said that, Lin Xi paused, perhaps, Chen Yan also needs me.
"Stay."
Lin Xi was speechless and just laughed.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Chu Jingchuan said, "Your illness is not yet cured, you shouldn't stop taking the medicine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaolan pushed the door open and walked in.
Lin Xi was forced to feed the medicine, and she choked and kept coughing: "Cough cough cough..."
However, no one cared about her. Chu Jingchuan and Xiaolan had already left one after another.
Lin Xi was terrified and burst into tears, feeling as if she had entered a den of thieves.
…
At this moment, on the other side, Xiuyun, who was taking a nap, had a dream.
In her dream, she saw her daughter Lin Xi crying all the time. She was locked in a gorgeous cage, dressed so beautifully. Xiuyun knocked on the cage hard, but couldn't open it.
She could only coax her daughter, "Mom will definitely rescue you."
However, all she got in response was Lin Xi crying to herself.
Xiuyun felt powerless and yelled to the people around her, "Let my daughter go, let my daughter go... Wuuuuu, please let my daughter go..."
Suddenly, Xiuyun opened her eyes and sat up.
The dream is over.
"Daughter, my daughter..."
Xiuyun kept calling her daughter. The dream was too real.
"Auntie, auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Xuedan came to visit Aunt Lin and heard Aunt Lin talking as soon as she entered the door.
"I dreamed of Lin Xi, she was still alive." Xiuyun and Xuedan said.
Xuedan sighed. According to most people, if the body was not salvaged, it might mean that the person was still alive, but the greater chance was that he was no longer alive.
"Xuedan, speak up. Tell Auntie that Lin Xi is still alive."
"Xixi must still be alive. Besides, Xixi is blessed with a long life, so she will be fine."
"Yes, my daughter will be fine. Xixi has been safe several times before, and this time she will definitely be safe too."
"Yes, Auntie. Don't cry, Auntie."
As she spoke, Xuedan helped Xiuyun wipe away the tears from her face.
In the evening, after getting off work, Chen Yan stopped by the Lin Mansion to see his son.
Little Zhaoyun has been very well behaved these days. During the few days when Lin Xi just disappeared, Chen Yan couldn't coax his son no matter how hard he tried.
He put his face against Xiao Zhaoyun's and left his room.
When they went downstairs, Xiuyun was cutting fruit and said to Shen Yan, "Dinner is almost ready. Come stay and join us, Xiao Shen."
"have eaten."
"good."
Shen Yan nodded slightly, "Goodbye, Auntie."
"Drive carefully on the road and go slowly." A son-in-law is also half a son. Besides, Chen Yan was raised by Xiuyun, and they have been a family for a long time.
Chen Yan returned to the car. The man had a frown on his face and looked worried.
The match struck, the flame passed over the cigarette butt, he pinched the cigarette and took a deep breath.
In the dim car filled with smoke, it was impossible to see the disgusted mood.
In the driver's seat, it was Shen Yan's secretary who was driving.
And he reported to Chen Yan, "We still can't find any trace of Madam."
"But we have a breakthrough. The eyewitness described the appearance of the man who jumped into the water to save his wife... She probably drew it."
As he spoke, the secretary handed the portrait back to Shen Yan.
After Shen Yan took it, he glanced at it and said, "What's the use of this? I can't see anything."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, let's continue investigating the man who jumped into the water to save his wife."
"Um."
"By the way, Mr. Shen, the Gu family wants you to do a blood test with the young master."
"Tsk~" Chen Yan laughed contemptuously as if he had heard a joke.
"No need to test, he is my son, Chen Yan."
Chen Yan had already done the DNA test.
"Uh...do you have to be so blunt?"
"oh?"
"No, no, no, President, what I mean is..." The secretary suddenly panicked and explained in a mess.
"Shut up." Shen Yan said impatiently.
He was already annoyed.
The secretary looked at the man in the rearview mirror and thought, forget it, he's been in a bad mood lately, so he shouldn't add fuel to the fire.
I hope my wife returns safely soon, otherwise I, as a worker, will have to keep my tail between my legs...
****
Lin Xi, who was about to escape, suddenly sneezed.
Even though he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hands, he still made a faint sound.
Xiaolan, who came to deliver dinner, heard the sound and looked over, and saw Lin Xi wandering around the rockery.
Lin Xi: Oops.
But he responded quickly, walked out, and said, "I saw that there seems to be one goldfish missing from the pond."
Xiaolan didn't suspect anything.
"Ms. Lin, it's time to eat."
"good."
So, Lin Xi and Xiaolan went into the room together.
Xiaolan was going to serve on the side, so Lin Xi quietly put the medicine he had left behind into the food.
She has been taking medication, and some doses can even cause drowsiness.
Greeting Xiaolan, "Why are you standing? Let's eat together."
"I dare not."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's the 21st century now. You and I are not much different in age. We are more like sisters, aren't we?" At the very least, they are a boss and a subordinate.
"Okay." Respect is worse than obedience.
Xiaolan sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate with Lin Xi in a reserved manner.
Lin Xi also ate, but it was just rice. The only difference was that there was no medicine in the rice. After eating a few bites, Xiaolan felt dizzy.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiaolan felt dizzy and realized something was wrong, "Ms. Lin, you actually..."
Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
Lin Xi hurriedly took action and undressed Xiaolan.
Because if you walk around the palace in the clothes you wear, you will be sent back after just a few steps.
Only by wearing the uniform servants' uniform of the palace can you go out smoothly.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened.
Lin Xi lowered his head and continued on his way regardless of wind or rain. However, the palace was too big after all, and Lin Xi turned left and right, which was a little different from the route he had originally planned.
At this moment, a girl suddenly called out to Lin Xi, "Hey, are you new here?"
Singaporean Mandarin.
Lin Xi also replied in English, "Yes."
"In that case, come and serve the Queen. We are in need of one person."
"good."
Lin Xi obediently followed their team. On the way to the queen's bedroom, it was completely dark.
Lin Xi fell behind and now began to think of the second solution, to find the cell phone and contact her mother or Chen Yan.
However, there is a telephone booth in the palace, which is specially set up for the palace maids. When they miss their families, they will call to express their condolences.
So it seemed perfectly normal to passersby to see Lin Xi making a phone call in this outfit.
First, I dialed my mother Xiuyun’s number. Dong, dong, dong... Every ring was terrifying.
Lin Xi muttered silently in her heart, Mom, please answer the phone quickly, quickly answer the phone... quickly...
"The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
My heart is hanging in the air, half dead.
Then he called Chen Yan again. Lin Xi's heart was beating very fast and her fingers were shaking due to excessive nervousness.
I don’t know what medicine Chu Jingchuan has been feeding her these days, but she becomes like this when she’s nervous.
I tried to calm down, breathe, and finally pressed it down completely.
"Ms. Lin!"
Suddenly, Xiaolan's voice came from behind.
Lin Xi felt a chill on his back, but he heard the phone call seemed to be connected.
