Yin Luo was thrown into a state of confusion. After Mu Changqing entered, he didn't even glance at her, simply sitting down beside her, allowing her to lie there in an undignified manner, her hair sprawled across most of the carriage.
By the time they arrived at the Jin Wangfu, it was already late at night. The butler came out to greet them, and Mu Changqing directly ordered that she be locked in the dungeon. Immediately, a servant came in, lifted her up, and after several twists and turns, threw her into a pitch-black underground cell. Then came the sound of the cell door locking.
As footsteps faded away, everything fell silent. However, Yin Luo was unable to move due to being acupressured. She lay stiffly on a damp pile of rotten straw. Fortunately, it was late autumn; otherwise, lying here for a night could have resulted in all sorts of snakes and insects crawling over her.
She had endured training far more brutal than this, so she was not intimidated by the harsh environment. She managed to hold on until the early hours of the morning when her acupoints finally released. Only then did she get up and let out a sigh of relief.
Not being killed was already the best outcome, so she didn't feel that her current situation was too bad.
Especially after a whole day of travel, she was now both tired and hungry. She couldn't care less about being in a dungeon; she simply wrapped herself in her clothes and fell asleep leaning against the corner.
For three consecutive days, there was no food or water, and no one came to check on her. Yin Luo leaned against the wall, feeling her consciousness gradually slipping away. In this underground cell where not a single person could be seen and devoid of light, she shouted until her throat was hoarse, but no one paid her any attention. Finally, unable to endure any longer, she fainted.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. In a daze, it seemed someone had carried her out of the dungeon. Then came the warmth of water. When she woke up again, she found herself back in her original residence at the Sakura Garden in Jin Wangfu. However, as soon as she moved slightly, she suddenly heard an unusual sound.
Struggling to sit up, she saw that shackles were fastened around her feet.
Someone pushed the door open; it was Su Yi. Seeing that Yin Luo had awakened, she smiled and said, "Madam is awake? You've been unconscious for two days! Do you still feel unwell anywhere?"
Yin Luo lay back down again and replied, "I just feel weak."
Su Yi smiled and said, "It's normal for the lady to feel weak after fainting from hunger in the dungeon and sleeping for so long."
She brought a bowl of hot congee, and Yin Luo was truly hungry, so she didn't refuse and drank it all. Seeing this, Su Yi felt relieved and said, "Madam, take care of your health. In a couple of days, you will naturally recover."
When Yin Luo saw her about to leave, she hurriedly asked, "Is what’s on my feet from the Prince?"
Su Yi was taken aback, her expression slightly unnatural. "Yes... the Prince said this is a punishment for the lady..."
Yin Luo said nothing and let her leave. She lay quietly on the couch for a while but couldn't fall asleep at all.
Wrapping herself in her clothes, she got off the couch and heard the sound of iron hooves clanging against the ground. She lowered her gaze, her eyes filled with darkness.
It seemed she had to temporarily set aside her escape plan.
No matter how hard she tried to escape, it would only bring her more suffering. It was better to stay here for now; after all, there was no danger to her life. Once the other party's vigilance relaxed, she could look for another opportunity to flee!
After three days of rest, her body had completely recovered. Today, she got up early on purpose. Hearing that Mu Changqing had returned from court, she left the courtyard and headed to his Study Room.
