Now she was in such a difficult situation that she could barely save herself. Why should she go to great lengths for an irrelevant person?
That bitch must have set a trap waiting for her to jump into. She wasn't that stupid to walk into a death trap knowing the bitch was waiting for her.
What surprised her was why that bitch was still alive. Didn't Bai Lin assure her that the woman would be dead in two days? What on earth was going on? Had Bai Lin lied to her?
Bei Moxue was extremely puzzled. Fortunately, she managed to suppress her impulse. If Le Yu hadn't reminded her, she might already be on her way. However, she still felt a bit uneasy. After all, Bai Lin was captured because of her. If Bai Lin really lost her life because of this, wouldn't she become a sinner?
"Le Yu, what if Bai Lin is really killed by that bitch because I don't go to save her?" Bei Moxue asked guiltily.
Seeing this, Le Yu comforted Bei Moxue, "Even if she is killed, it has nothing to do with the princess. If she is killed, isn't it even better? Without this person, the princess won't have any more worries."
Le Yu's words were like a wake - up call. All of Bei Moxue's guilt vanished. Friends were not eternal. Only when she was well off did she not care about the safety of others.
"I know what to do. Le Yu, go and fetch some hot water for me. I'm going to take a bath and change clothes!" A fleeting look of cunning flashed across Bei Moxue's face.
Two days passed. Bai Lin was relatively comfortable in the dungeon. A Ru didn't order anyone to torture her, but living in the dark and damp environment wasn't pleasant either.
At first, she had been waiting for Bei Moxue to rescue her. Normally, Bai Lin didn't expect Bei Moxue to care about their sister - like bond. But this time, she had come from the border to Beiming for Bei Moxue and got into trouble because of her. So, Bei Moxue should, by all means, rescue her.
However, as days passed, Bai Lin's once - hot heart gradually sank. If Bei Moxue really wanted to rescue her, she would have come long ago instead of waiting until now. So, Bai Lin finally understood Bei Moxue's attitude.
But her current situation left her with no choice but to wait for Bei Moxue. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she couldn't give up. It wasn't until Mu Fengqie came to the dungeon that she completely lost hope.
When Bai Lin saw Mu Fengqie, she buried her head. Although she hated Mu Fengqie for capturing her here, she was a reasonable person. After all, they were the ones who had harmed Mu Fengqie first. Although she was usually domineering, she wasn't as unreasonable as Bei Moxue.
"What are you doing here? Come to laugh at me? I didn't expect the situation to reverse in just a few days. You're really lucky. Usually, no one has ever survived the poison I, Bai Lin, use. You're the first." Bai Lin let out a soft laugh.
Mu Fengqie didn't harbor much hatred towards Bai Lin. Instead, she had a feeling of cherishing talent. "If it weren't for your antidote, I might not be alive now. I should really thank you for being willing to offer it."
Hearing this, Bai Lin looked up in confusion and happened to see Mu Fengqie's generous smile. Not only men but even Bai Lin was captivated by her beauty.
She had seen Mu Fengqie once in the secret room. That day, Mu Fengqie was dirty all over and her face was covered in ashes, which blocked half of her beauty. Now, Mu Fengqie was truly unparalleled, just like the saying goes, such a woman only exists in the heavens.
"You... you don't hate me?" Bai Lin asked in confusion.
She had never met such a strange person. For Mu Fengqie, she could be considered a executioner, but Mu Fengqie didn't hate her. Instead, she came to thank her?
Bai Lin blushed instantly because of Mu Fengqie's simple thank - you. The more Mu Fengqie didn't care, the more uncomfortable Bai Lin felt.
Although she was domineering and sensitive, she valued loyalty the most. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to Beiming in a hurry because of a letter from Bei Moxue.
Mu Fengqie shook her head with a smile. "No, there was no bond between us originally. If it weren't for Bei Moxue, we might still be one in the south and the other in the north. Moreover, we have no grudges against each other. Why should I hate you?"
"But... I was the one who poisoned you, and you almost lost your life..." Bai Lin's voice got softer and softer.
Seeing this, Mu Fengqie smiled gently. "But you also gave me the antidote, didn't you? Miss Bai is a talented person. If your poison - making skills could be used in medicine, it would surely benefit the people in a region."
At first, she resented Bai Lin, but when she learned that Bai Lin's antidote for paraquat was ineffective, she suddenly understood everything.
Bai Lin's face turned even redder. She felt extremely ashamed. She thought she was acting for justice, but she didn't expect Mu Fengqie to be completely different from what she had imagined.
She looked at Mu Fengqie in front of her and began to think. Either Bei Moxue was lying or Mu Fengqie was acting. But no matter how she looked at it, she didn't think Mu Fengqie was acting.
Bai Lin slightly parted her thin lips. "How can my poison - making skills be used in medicine?"
"So many people die because they accidentally ingest poison, and you can develop antidotes. You even managed to develop an antidote for paraquat, which shows that you have extremely high talent in this area."
It was precisely because Mu Fengqie saw this in Bai Lin that she came to persuade her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the dungeon to see Bai Lin specially.
Bai Lin had never thought about these things before. She lived like a little princess in the border area and had never considered using her skills in medicine.
After Mu Fengqie's persuasion, Bai Lin also thought that this was indeed a matter worth delving into, so she nodded. "So, you mean you're going to let me go?"
Bai Lin was an extremely smart woman. Without Mu Fengqie saying it directly, she understood what Mu Fengqie meant. She originally thought that no one would come to rescue her and she would spend the rest of her life in the dungeon. But unexpectedly, Mu Fengqie wanted to spare her.
Mu Fengqie nodded. "I captured you at first just to get the antidote. Keeping you for two days was also to see if Bei Moxue would come to rescue you. Although you two are friends, it seems that she doesn't really care about you. I'm sworn enemies with her, and I know you're a talented person. So, I don't want us to be on opposite sides one day."
Mu Fengqie had said all that needed to be said. It was up to Bai Lin to decide what to do next.
