“Um…” Su Yi looked at Mu Changqing, hesitant to agree.
Although Yin Luo was the princess, Su Yi, as her personal maid, understood her situation in the royal residence better than anyone else. Especially now that Mu Changqing was clearly standing right there, how could she dare to heed her words? She shivered slightly and quickly bowed, saying, “Princess, I just remembered that the kitchen is still simmering some medicinal soup. I will go fetch it right away!”
Yin Luo glanced down at her, and Su Yi did not dare to meet her gaze. She rushed out, her steps almost flying as she passed by Mu Changqing, not forgetting to close the door behind her.
Yin Luo raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Changqing. “It seems your servant is quite afraid of you.”
“Yes, throughout this entire residence, you are the only one who ignores me.”
Yin Luo lifted her brow, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, “That’s because I firmly believe in equality between people. There are no distinctions of status or wealth, so I have no need to pay you any mind.”
Mu Changqing lowered her gaze. “Do you really think that because I have a bet with you, I will never harm you?”
Yin Luo pondered for a moment and nodded. “What else could it be?” She looked Mu Changqing up and down and twirled the teacup in her hand. “Someone as proud and arrogant as you would never think you could lose. The world is in your hands; how could you possibly lose to anyone else?”
She lowered her gaze to the tea swirling in her cup. “But in this world, nothing is absolute. What will happen tomorrow is always uncertain. Just like how I never imagined that one day I would suddenly die after living for so long.”
She raised her eyes; within her dark pupils, there seemed to be some fluctuation, but upon closer inspection, it was calm again. Mu Changqing's gaze deepened even further. “The fact proves that you are not dead.”
“Indeed. That’s why I say the future is unpredictable! Who would have thought that I, destined to die, would wake up from my coffin? I survived three days under your watch and am still alive and kicking now. How incredible does that seem to everyone else!”
Mu Changqing's thin lips curled up, revealing a faint smile that carried a hint of coldness. "Indeed, it is unbelievable."
With a flick of his hand, in an instant, a hidden weapon flew directly towards Yin Luo's table.
With a "ding," a golden arrowhead dart embedded itself five inches into the wood. If this had shot directly into her forehead just now, even if she managed to dodge it, she would still be severely injured; there was no way she could withstand it.
Mu Changqing watched her reaction with satisfaction and chuckled lightly. "You are mine. Whether it is fate or life, how can it be unbelievable? The one who must dominate is me, and I will control everything! Moreover, you can never escape this for the rest of your life. You must always remember this!"
"I have to admit, you are a clever woman who can guess some of my thoughts. But I must say, you are also an incredibly foolish woman because some things are not as you assume. Just by claiming that you are equal to me, that will never be possible! Don't forget how I came to marry you. With an army of a hundred thousand at the city gates, you were a gift that had to be offered, and I am the one who enjoys that gift. Can a slave and a master ever be equal?"
