"Madam has been in a deep sleep for five days. Lord Eleven said you would wake up. At first, I didn't believe it, but unexpectedly, Madam really has woken up."
Five days?
She sighed inwardly, not expecting to have slept for so long.
After asking Su Yi several questions intermittently, she didn't know if it was due to simple-mindedness or something else, but Su Yi actually asked nothing and told her everything. It was then that Yin Luo learned that her body belonged to the stunning princess of the Moon Cherry Dynasty, Nie Qingcheng, known as the most beautiful woman in the world. The reason for her marriage alliance was that the Jin Prince had led his troops to break through most of the Moon Cherry Dynasty's defenses and besieged the imperial city, forcing the Chaoyang King to agree.
Su Yi also mentioned that aside from Ms. Qing Ge, there were no other mistresses in the Jin Prince's residence, so she was considered one of the mistresses of the Jin Prince's household. When Yin Luo inquired about this, she learned that this Jin Prince indeed had a reputation for marrying and killing, which explained why, up until now, he had taken countless wives but none had truly remained.
Recalling that life-and-death struggle, Yin Luo realized she had become the first person to survive more than three days.
This Jin Prince was a lord of the Exiled Nation, yet he held immense power and commanded a strong army. His personality was unpredictable and changeable; despite holding the title of Ghost King, he also had the honorific of War King. It was said that he had never lost a battle, which allowed the Exiled Nation to rapidly develop into one of the four great nations within just a few years, with no one daring to challenge them.
His existence became the most powerful weapon to suppress the other three nations. The emperor both feared his power and had no choice but to rely on him, leading to his arrogance and overwhelming dominance.
No wonder when she woke up that day and threatened him with a dagger and hairpin, there were so many terrified faces below her. His gaze was as cold as ice; it seemed that someone like him probably had never experienced being threatened at neck level throughout his long life!
Thus, she was retaliated against and thrown into a group of men. If it weren't for her relying on her past life's skills to escape disaster, she might have truly met her end.
While feeling fortunate, she also felt lingering fear over her actions that day. From what she understood about this Jin Prince, although she had saved her life, her future days were bound to be difficult because above all else, she should never have offended him!
Such a powerful figure would surely seek revenge for any slight. Perhaps, the days she survives will be more painful than death itself.
To live is worse than to die; this may be what she is about to face!
Yin Luo felt a chill in her heart and let Su Yi go rest. She lay on the couch, focused solely on the thought that she must quickly recover her health. The plan now is to escape from Jin Wang's control as soon as possible!
After half a month, her injuries had finally healed significantly. Most of her injuries were internal, so it took some time to recuperate. As long as she avoided major movements, she could move around without much issue.
After resting for half a month, she had been confined to this courtyard for that duration. Su Yi reminded her that there were many forbidden areas in the residence, and it was best not to wander alone without anyone accompanying her. The Prince's rule was strict; if anyone was caught trespassing into a forbidden area, they would be dragged away and executed without question. Therefore, there were not many servants in this royal residence. If it weren't for her aunt being in charge of the kitchen here, she wouldn't have been able to enter the palace to serve.
Yin Luo kept everything Su Yi said in mind. Having narrowly escaped death, she naturally wouldn't take her life lightly. Having already experienced rebirth once, she understood even more the preciousness of life. Thus, she would do everything in her power to preserve her own life.
Although she was recuperating, during her free time, Yin Luo would practice what she had learned before. Although this body seemed weak, as it recovered, she discovered that it possessed some potential; it was inherently flexible, making her training twice as effective with half the effort.
While she still couldn't match her previous strength, as long as her injuries healed completely, her skills could at least recover to seventy or eighty percent of their former state. With that thought in mind, she felt relieved; ordinary thugs would pose no obstacle for her.
After a month had passed, her injuries were finally fully healed. On this day, she received a summons: Jin Wang wanted to see her.
