The Duke's residence was larger than she had imagined. It took a full quarter of an hour to walk from her room to the study. Su Yi led the way, and upon reaching the study door, she advised Yin Luo, "Madam, you must not confront the prince like before. It is already a blessing that you are alive; you must cherish this hard-won opportunity for life."
Su Yi's words were indeed true. Yin Luo nodded and stepped into the study.
When faced with challenges, one must respond accordingly. Since this Duke had even allowed her to be treated, she believed he would not take her life for now, so she felt no fear. If he wanted to see her, then she would go.
There was no one guarding outside the study, and once inside, it was quiet. A shadow was hidden behind the curtain, easily visible. At the same time, through the drapery, Yin Luo knew that person was currently observing her. She felt no nervousness and walked directly over.
The young girl before him wore a plain robe today, without any makeup. Her long hair was casually tied up at the back with a wooden hairpin, yet she exuded a refreshing beauty. Truly deserving of being called the most beautiful woman; even dressed as a peasant woman, her captivating appearance could not be concealed.
She pulled aside the curtain and stood there without bowing, simply asking, "What do you want from me?"
It was still that ghostly figure; dressed in black, he made the entire study feel somewhat eerie. Fortunately, it was daytime; otherwise, it might have felt like speaking to a ghost.
Mu Changqing's gaze swept over her from head to toe, his brows slightly raised. "It seems you have recovered well."
"Thanks to the excellent medicine provided by the prince. If I hadn't recovered quickly, I would be letting down the prince for that precious pill," she replied.
A slight smile curved at the corner of Mu Changqing's lips as he stood up and slowly approached her.
He stopped just a step away from her, looking down at her bright eyes with a contemplative expression. "You don't seem afraid of me."
Yin Luo did not retreat an inch due to his proximity; instead, she stared back at him with unwavering resolve, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "Why should I be afraid of you? Just because you hold my life and death in your hands?"
Mu Changqing remained silent but gave her a look that seemed to say, "What else could it be?" Upon seeing this, Yin Luo laughed and said, "If the prince wants to take my life, it would be an easy task. Whether I am afraid or not changes nothing. Since that is the case, I might as well live my life openly. Why burden myself with constant fear and anxiety? It's exhausting."
"You have courage; you are the first person to see this prince remain unflinching."
"And that is why I am still alive today."
Hearing this, Mu Changqing couldn't help but smile. He returned to his seat and waved at her, saying, "Come sit here."
Yin Luo did not hesitate and walked over boldly to sit across from him, maintaining her composure under his scrutiny.
Mu Changqing observed her for a while before suddenly propping up his chin with his hand, appearing deep in thought. "This prince has never made exceptions for anyone. You are the first person to survive three days after being brought into this prince's household, so I need to give the world an explanation."
"What explanation?"
"An explanation that proves your uniqueness."
Yin Luo furrowed her brows, clearly unable to grasp the meaning behind his words. Mu Changqing then lazily waved his hand, and suddenly twelve women entered through the previously empty doorway. They were the same women from the day of their wedding, carrying garments and jewelry just like that day, which only puzzled Yin Luo further.
"One hour. Make her presentable."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
