In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunxi had been living there for several days. Every day, the maids would bring in meals on time. Looking at the delicious and beautifully presented dishes, Ji Yunxi had little appetite.
She just thought that the more delicious they looked, the faster the poison might take effect after she ate them.
However, after all, she had a mortal body. Ji Yunxi secretly managed to hold on for only two days before she started to waver. Then she thought that if Yue Chen really wanted to kill her, there must be countless ways, and there was no need to poison the food.
Having made up her mind, Ji Yunxi would always test the food with a silver needle to make sure it was non - toxic before eating.
The maids saw this. Perhaps Yue Chen had given them some instructions, so no one said anything about it. They just looked at her resentfully, thinking she was ungrateful.
After staying for a few days, Ji Yunxi couldn't hide her doubts. She didn't know what Yue Chen's plan was.
That day, he suddenly appeared and brought her back. Then he provided her with good food and accommodation. He never asked her anything and didn't seem to plan to. Did he just want to keep her under house arrest here?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She thought that Yun Han and the others must be worried sick about her, and she didn't know how A Zhi was doing.
But then she thought that for the old subordinates of Fengche Palace and Yunqi Palace, although she was important, she was not indispensable. Even without her, there was still Feng Xingzhi, and they could still carry out their plan smoothly.
For some reason, a sense of loss enveloped her. She had been working hard for this, but in fact, her strength was very small. Only by the power of everyone could they really bring down Yue Chen.
Now that she was in Yue Chen's hands, she was afraid she couldn't even get out of this courtyard.
She went back to her room and locked herself in. She noticed something strange. With Yue Chen's strength, he didn't need to make a deal with her using Jiang Linyin that day. He was confident that he could even kill her on the spot, but he didn't.
Maybe it was because he didn't have the God - Slaying Blade. Even if he killed her, she would be reborn in the end.
But this didn't make sense either. With Yue Chen's ability, he probably had a way to completely destroy her.
She couldn't just sit and wait for death. Since Yue Chen had confined her here, she was going to see what this Yuehua Palace was really like!
Having made up her mind, she stood up and walked towards the door.
There were two maids outside the courtyard. Seeing her come out, they immediately followed closely behind her. This feeling of being monitored was very uncomfortable.
Ji Yunxi suppressed her annoyance. "Don't follow me."
One of the maids replied, "Miss, just pretend you don't see us. The Emperor has ordered that you mustn't leave."
"I'm just taking a walk. I don't plan to go anywhere. You can stay here."
The maids still lowered their heads and refused to leave no matter what.
Ji Yunxi was already in a bad mood because of being confined. She wanted to make a scene but couldn't say it directly. Yue Chen was still being patient with her for now. If he also lost his patience, her life would be in danger.
Having thought this through, although Ji Yunxi was very helpless, she didn't plan to act rashly. She just pretended not to see them. As she walked and thought, she came to the depths of Yuehua Palace.
It was a palace she had never been to before. In the past few days, she had visited the palaces around her residence. This place was new to her. It seemed to be a very secret place of Yue Chen's.
The decoration of this palace was very magnificent, as if it had been carefully decorated, but it was hidden in the deepest part of Yuehua Palace, as if deliberately preventing people from entering. It was colder and more desolate than other places.
Without much thought, she stepped forward and tried to push open the door. But the next second, her wrist was firmly grabbed.
"Miss Ji, you can't go in here."
Ji Yunxi sneered. "So there's a place I can't go in this palace?"
The maid seemed to be slapped in the face and lowered her head. "You can't go in here."
"Then give me a reason. Why can't I go in?"
"This is a restricted area. You can't enter, Miss. Please don't make things difficult for us." The maids had been tormented for several days. Ji Yunxi was not an easy - to - serve mistress. She always wanted to walk around, and they had to follow her nervously. Now she even wanted to go to a restricted area. If they didn't stop her, something big would happen.
Ji Yunxi was not a person who deliberately made things difficult for others. She knew that if she forced her way in, she might implicate others. Finally, she sighed and obediently returned to her courtyard.
Back in the courtyard, Ji Yunxi went to bed early. There was nothing to do anyway.
Early the next morning, when she woke up, she was still thinking about that room she couldn't enter. Then she realized that she had been deceived by Yue Chen. He deliberately allowed her to walk around everywhere, but she couldn't enter that room.
Yue Chen's actions were too obvious. He clearly wanted to arouse her interest and make her investigate.
Since he wanted that, she just wouldn't let him have his way. With a sneer, Ji Yunxi even decided not to leave her room. She directly asked the maids to bring things into her room.
"Bring me a bird. This room is too quiet."
The maids didn't know what she was going to do. They could only tell Yue Chen her request. Coincidentally, Yue Chen was not there, and this matter reached Jiang Yaoji's ears. She was already full of anger, and when she heard that Ji Yunxi wanted a bird, she thought it was extremely ridiculous.
She specially ran to the courtyard to question her. "Ji Yunxi, do you really think you're here as a guest?"
"Jiang Yaoji, your master hasn't said a word yet. What are you, a servant, talking about?"
Ji Yunxi knew that Jiang Yaoji always cared about her face. Now that she had become a servant, she must be unhappy. Sure enough, after being humiliated like this, Jiang Yaoji became more and more angry. With red eyes, she said, "I won't let you go!"
Saying that, she suddenly threw a dead bird in front of Ji Yunxi's feet. With a mocking look on her face, she just wanted to see Ji Yunxi's disgusted expression when seeing this.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunxi remained calm. She even bent down to pick up the dead bird and walked towards Jiang Yaoji step by step. "You think this can scare me? Jiang Yaoji, you're too weak."
Jiang Yaoji was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to attack Ji Yunxi.
"You can try to attack me. But you have to bear the consequences. After all, it doesn't matter if I get hurt. A Zhi will be heart - broken, and Yue Chen won't let you go. If you finally kill me, it's just the same as what you've done in the previous lives, isn't it?"
Ji Yunxi said and suddenly clapped her hands. "Hey, how could I forget? You've spared me several times before. Could it be that you not only like A Zhi but also like me?"
"You!"
"Jiang Yaoji, don't provoke me. You've done a lot of things. Yue Chen is neither deaf nor blind. I have plenty of ways to let him know. If we have to die, we'll die together." Ji Yunxi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Jiang Yaoji fled in a hurry and never dared to cause trouble again. However, in the end, it was Yue Chen who lost his patience first and took the initiative to come to her.
"How have you been these days?"
"The food and accommodation are good." Ji Yunxi knew he would come and replied disdainfully.
