The entire body felt stiff and uncomfortable, but fortunately, Jun Moyu returned not long after he left.
However, upon his return, he did not immediately lift the curtain. Instead, he sat at a nearby redwood square table and began to drink tea, seemingly lost in thought.
"Can you please release my acupoint? I've been sealed for most of the night, and my blood isn't circulating properly. It's quite uncomfortable."
Hearing her voice and surprised that this woman was still awake, Jun Moyu stood up and directly lifted the curtain. His sharp eagle-like eyes stared at her for a moment without releasing her acupoint or saying a word.
He stood there in front of the bed, with candlelight illuminating him from behind, casting his expression into shadow while he took in Yin Luo's appearance.
Dressed in men's clothing earlier, she now wore a plain cotton long robe that accentuated her petite figure, delicate and transparent.
Her eyes were as clear as water, seemingly reflecting ripples, resting on her face which appeared somewhat pitiful.
Her skin was as white as congealed fat, with a delicate nose and naturally rosy lips that looked enticingly soft.
Suddenly, Jun Moyu reached out and pulled the hairpin from her head. Her hair fell loose instantly, cascading over her shoulders like a dark waterfall—smooth and shiny, truly beautiful.
Yin Luo noticed the deepening intensity in his gaze and sensed danger. She hurriedly spoke up: "Your Highness is right here in the room. Even if I wanted to escape, I wouldn't be able to. Please just release my acupoint; I'm tired and just want to sleep, but I can't like this."
"Oh?" Jun Moyu elongated his tone but suddenly leaned down closer to her. With his arm propped beside her head, he looked at her intently: "You really can't escape. But you're quite clever; I've been fooled once before by you. I won't fall for it again."
He reached out to part her clothing slightly, revealing her snow-white collarbone. His gaze darkened as he focused on her face, lost in thought.
"Do you truly not care about my identity as the Princess of Jin?" His actions naturally raised Yin Luo's vigilance. To protect herself, she had to find ways to navigate this situation.
"Care about what? A mere Prince of Jin is nothing to me." His fingers traced her face, touching her skin that resembled rosy snow. His eyes narrowed slightly as if savoring a prey before consuming it—eerily gentle.
"If you were just an ordinary prince, I wouldn't care either. But the Prince of Jin represents the entire Exiled Nation. Given that he risked his life to help me leave the city, do you think he would simply let it go if he knew I had fallen into your hands and become your woman?"
"Heh." At her words, Jun Moyu suddenly let out a cold laugh. His finger traced down Yin Luo's face to her ear as he said softly, "What a ruthless woman you are. You know that the Prince of Jin risked his life to protect you out of the city; yet now you appear in Zhou Qi's Yanzhi Town. Tell me, what are your intentions? To leave the side of the Prince of Jin? To escape your identity as the Princess of Jin? Since you clearly don't value his sincere feelings for you at this moment, how can you be so sure that he would go to great lengths and fight against me for your sake?"
"If I tell him about your escape, perhaps he will give up on you and let you fend for yourself?"
Yin Luo furrowed her brows but did not change her expression at his words. She calmly looked at him and said, "If you tell the Prince of Jin about this, it will only make matters worse. Because if you don't say anything, he might not come to rescue me. But if you do, he will definitely come. The Prince of Jin is not one to suffer losses; I have treated him this way, and he will never swallow this grievance. Whether I live or die, he must bring me back to his side."
"Oh? You understand the Prince of Jin so well?"
"Having shared a bed for so long, that is only natural."
Jun Moyu observed her face, noting that even at this moment, she showed no signs of panic. Even when she spoke of "whether I live or die," did she truly not worry for her life at all? Or was she always so certain in her actions?
The phrase "shared a bed" naturally struck a nerve with Jun Moyu. He pressed his fingers firmly against the back of her head and looked down at her, saying, "Since understanding a person requires this, why don’t we share a bed ourselves and see if you can grasp what I am thinking?"
He lowered his head to touch her lips, giving her no chance to retaliate.
Yin Luo closed her eyes, staring at the canopy above her. Now that her limbs were immobilized, she had no way to resist.
She lowered her gaze and felt his fingers moving downward. Suddenly, her eyes darkened with determination.
Jun Moyu's body trembled in disbelief as he immediately released her. Almost instantly, while pinching her acupoint, he took out a vial from his pocket and forced a pill into her mouth. Watching her resolute gaze and the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, he angrily punched the wall and shouted, "Nie Qingcheng, you are ruthless!"
The taste of blood filled his mouth; he knew it was not his blood but hers.
This woman was so decisive in her actions that she didn't even utter a word of pleading or threats before biting her tongue. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped her in time; otherwise, she would truly be lying there as a corpse!
"Just wait; one day, I will make you willingly submit!"
Jun Moyu gave her one last deep look before lifting the curtain and striding away.
After a violent cough, Yin Luo finally quieted down and slowly exhaled.
Her godfather once said that sometimes in human relationships, it’s about who is more ruthless; only those who are hard on themselves can instill fear in others. And she had done just that!
She knew that Jun Moyu had a conquering mindset, so she was certain that as long as she was alive, he would definitely save her. Fortunately, she won the bet; this man was indeed arrogant enough!
The room fell quiet again, and with no one to disturb her, Yin Luo felt at ease and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was very sound.
Since all dangers had temporarily receded, she naturally slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, there was movement outside the door as they prepared to continue their journey.
Yao Chenzi entered, unsealing her acupoints so she could move freely, but she still felt weak and unable to make any large movements.
"If you want to leave alive, then cooperate with us. Don't worry, the Prince has already informed Jin Wang. I believe he will come to fetch you soon."
Yin Luo turned her gaze towards him and asked, "Is Jin Wang safe?"
Yao Chenzi glanced at her and lightly waved his folding fan. "It seems you still don't know. Jin Wang has returned to Jin Wangfu and has been seriously injured. However, he is currently awake and should recover in a few days."
Yin Luo lowered her gaze, lost in thought. Yao Chenzi looked at her and urged, "Hurry up and wash up; we need to set off soon."
After having breakfast downstairs, the group set off.
This time, she and Qin Liu Yan entered the carriage together. Qin Liu Yan was not bound like her but had also been sealed at her acupoints, making her weaker than a frail woman.
"Princess, did they hurt you?"
Last night, she had seen Jun Moyu carry her into the room, so she couldn't help but worry.
Yin Luo raised her wrist to reveal the vermilion dot of marriage on it. Only then did Qin Liu Yan breathe a sigh of relief. "Fortunately! If anything had happened to you, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to the Emperor."
Yin Luo glanced at her and said, "Jin Wang has returned to Jin Wangfu; there is no immediate danger to his life."
Qin Liu Yan's expression did not relax upon hearing this. "Since the King of Jin is unharmed, he will surely investigate the whereabouts of the princess. If we are currently hiding in various countries, he may not be able to find us. However, if we fall into the hands of King Huai, I fear that the King of Jin will soon learn of this matter."
"You guessed correctly." Yin Luo looked out at the retreating scenery and lowered the curtain. "Jun Mo Yu has already sent a message to the King of Jin. Soon, we will likely be rescued, but I fear that life after being rescued will be much worse than it is now."
Qin Liu Yan thought of something, and her face turned very ugly. "A ruthless person like the King of Jin... Princess, if that's the case, we might as well seek refuge with King Huai?"
"Him?" Yin Luo raised an eyebrow. "If we seek refuge with him, it would mean sacrificing your appearance. Do you want your princess to serve others with her beauty?"
Qin Liu Yan's expression changed, and she fell silent.
Yin Luo lowered her gaze, leaning back against the carriage wall and said, "Don't worry, Mu Chang Qing won't kill me even if he's angry. As for you, once I am rescued, you can go back."
Qin Liu Yan's expression changed again, and she hurriedly said, "Princess misunderstands; Liu Yan is not someone who fears death. Since His Majesty has ordered Liu Yan to follow the princess from now on, the princess is Liu Yan's master. Liu Yan vows to serve loyally until death and will not retreat even in the face of death."
Yin Luo glanced at her but did not speak. She simply leaned against the carriage wall and closed her eyes. "Letting you go back does not mean you fear death. Without any ties, I can maneuver with Mu Chang Qing. If you are here, you will only become a tool for him to threaten me."
Qin Liu Yan was taken aback, and her gaze softened. "But I cannot let the princess take risks alone!"
"It’s fine; I have my own plans. You return first. Once my life is secure, you can come back. Remember to do so in the name of the Moon Cherry Dynasty."
