“I’m not a vagrant. It’s just that I was robbed and lost my belongings, then ate some poisonous congee by mistake…” Zhu Minglang hurriedly explained.
“Is there a difference? She has already achieved her objective,” the Empress stated coldly.
“What’s her objective?”
Zhu Minglang immediately how dumb his question was after asking it. What other objective could there be?
If the Empress was overthrown, then there’d be many ways to humiliate her. One of which would be like now, allowing her royal body to become one with a vagrant, who belonged to the lowest rung of the society. This relationship would instantly plunge the proud, holy status she had built into ‘cheap’ and ‘dirty’.
If even the lowest rat on the streets could roll in the bed with the most holy Valkyrie as they wished, then what difference was there between her and a prostitute? Oh, no, at least a prostitute would still do her business selectively…
After realizing this, Zhu Minglang was immediately at a loss, not sure whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that he was regarded and used as a tool that was most humiliating to a woman. Indeed, there was no free lunch in this world!
“Oh, right, there were many other vagrants who were poisoned together with me. Could it be that they, too…” Zhu Minglang suddenly remembered.
“If you’re wishing for death, I can grant your wish right now!” the Valkyrie said, gnashing her teeth. Her eyes were emitting a murderous light.
If it wasn’t for her not feeling any strength inside right now, she would have torn Zhu Minglang apart for real!
“Uh hrm,” Zhu Minglang coughed, filled with awkwardness. Why did he have to bring that up, of all things?
The Valkyrie seemed dispirited, but focus returned to her gaze shortly. She narrowed her eyes, looking at the tiny window above, obviously thinking of a way to escape.
Although she would very much like to kill this man beside her, she had obtained an important piece of information from Zhu Minglang’s words. That was, aside from them, there were many vagrants locked up here as well!
If a different man was sent to her every day, she’d rather kill herself by biting on her own tongue now, than to suffer such humiliation!
She had to think of a way to escape. She didn’t want the events from last night to repeat, and this was only the beginning!
“Let’s think of a way to escape this place,” Zhu Minglang said seriously.
The Empress didn’t take in any of what Zhu Minglang was saying. However, she hadn’t lost her rationale over this matter, her mind, gone manic, or cried in pain. Perhaps she was indeed feeling like that inside, but she would only express her pain and desperation thoroughly after overcoming her current predicament calmly and exacting revenge.
Zhu Minglang felt he had to take certain responsibilities as well, even though she was the one who moved her hips first last night…
All in all, he had to find a way to escape!
“Great! You’re awake, little fellow,” Zhu Minglang suddenly said excitedly.
He opened up his right palm, and a little milky white ice worm appeared like magic.
Clear and tender tiny circles of fat rippled from the little ice worm’s round body from time to time, looking rather adorable as it moved. Its large, round eyes blinked, showing its extraordinariness.
The Empress shot a side glance at Zhu Minglang and noticed a little white worm in his palm, letting out a cold humph.
-What ignorant optimism. He actually still had the mood to play with a worm!-
“Go, open the lock. I know you can do it,” Zhu Minglang told the little ice worm.
The little ice worm crawled up along the stone wall, and soon arrived at the metal window.
Clang!…
They soon heard the sound of chains loosening.
Seeing this, the Empress’ eyes immediately brightened, the joy on her face unable to hide.
“Hehe, there’s nothing my little ice worm can’t do,” Zhu Minglang smiled at the Empress.
“Help me up,” the Empress said. She felt weak all over, obviously under the effects of some poison.
