Dong Huiying wore an iron ring on her hand, which was connected to a heavy iron chain. She wasn’t tied up with a full binding, so she could move freely, but her movents were still restricted. This truly made one feel sad and helpless.
"Yun Ge, Yun Ge?" she called out twice, but Yun Ge, sitting amidst a pile of books, was flipping through them with particular focus. It seed Yun Ge had already thrown himself into the sea of knowledge and was hopelessly engrossed.
Dong Huiying pressed her temples, feeling sowhat amused yet helpless. "Yun Ge, I can refrain from protesting and obediently stay locked up, but could you at least get sothing to eat and drink? I haven’t had anything since I woke up, and I feel like I’m about to starve or die of thirst. In short, I feel very bad right now. Can you help ? I’m begging you."
She pleaded pitiably, her hand shackled with the iron ring swaying back and forth.
She persistently made noise. Perhaps it was because she was really too "noisy." Yun Ge, engrossed in the sea of books, raised his head dazedly, "Uh, huh? Oh! I almost forgot. Are you hungry? Hold on, I’ll have soone prepare a al."
She was truly grateful to the heavens; her throat was almost dry, but fortunately, before she starved, she managed to get Yun Ge’s attention.
Soon after, Dong Huiying faced a simple al of three dishes and a soup, feeling quite satisfied.
Yun Ge might have felt a bit guilty, continuously helping her with the dishes, prompting a silent chuckle from Dong Huiying. "What were you looking at earlier?"
"Books Lao Liu helped get from the palace."
"I might need so herbs."
"Herbs?"
"Yes, you can ask Prince ng if he can help gather these herbs. Now that we’re in the palace, that person outside needs to be dealt with quickly." She was referring to the crazed Ninth Princess.
Yun Ge pouted, showing clear displeasure. When Dong Huiying ntioned the Ninth Princess, Yun Ge reacted as if facing a romantic rival, filled with intense jealousy.
"Alright, but..." Yun Ge agreed, but added: "When Lao Liu brought you into the palace that day, she happened to regain her senses for a mont. When we proved your identity, she actually didn’t believe it, hmph!"
Dong Huiying raised an eyebrow; Yun Ge’s cute deanor was truly adorable. "Actually, it’s normal, considering my changes are significant. Moreover..." She had a hint of humor in her eyes. "Not to ntion what I looked like before, just after losing the dark skin and pockmarks, my aged appearance now is very different from when I was young. Aren’t you also afraid of mistaking people? Otherwise, when I woke up, you wouldn’t have let Prince ng test first."
"Ahem!"
Yun Ge coughed awkwardly, "Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, you can’t be foolish again. Doing things like trying out poison for her once is enough. If it happens a few more tis, I might really not be able to handle it."
Dong Huiying suppressed a laugh, responding softly, "Alright~" Yun Ge’s concern and care for her, how could she not know?
But precisely because of this, another matter ca to her mind... "Isn’t there sothing you should also tell ?"
Yun Ge was taken aback, "What is it?"
"Yun Shuihan."
At the ntion of this na, the look on Yun Ge’s face imdiately changed, clouded with complex emotions.
Dong Huiying raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t Prince ng tell you? Yun Shuihan is a guest at the Prince Mansion, and I t her. In fact, just before I entered the palace, we had a fight, and I poisoned her!"
