Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 344 Liu Jingyue was questioned alone

On the other side, still in that small dark room, because of Zhang's order, the two people guarding the door delivered meals to Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue at the appointed time.

One of them brought in the meal and was about to leave when Dugu Jingyao stopped him: "Big brother, wait a minute."

The man turned around impatiently and asked, "What are you doing?"

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Big Brother, you only give us food, but how can we eat when our hands and feet are tied?"

The man seemed to have not considered this issue at all, and said hesitantly, "If we let you go and you run away, we won't be able to explain to the master..."

Dugu Jingyao continued, "But if we can't eat and faint from hunger or even die of hunger, your master will still not let you go. What do you think?"

The man was a little confused, so he walked outside and called another person in.

The man also said: "We will not untie it for you, and don't think we don't know that you are so skilled in martial arts that it is naturally impossible to untie it."

So Dugu Jingyao changed her mind and said, "Since you're afraid of me making a move, why don't you just untie my sister? She's just a little girl and doesn't know how to fight. Even if she wants to escape, she can't. Untie her and let her eat before feeding me. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Following Dugu Jingyao's line of thought, Liu Jingyue pretended to be aggrieved and scared, looking pitifully at the two big men. The two big men also felt that even if such a little girl wanted to escape, they could control her.

So one of them said, "Okay, Third Brother, go and untie the ropes on the little princess's hands, but don't untie her feet. Just leave her hands free so she can eat."

The man called Lao San stepped forward and untied the rope on Liu Jingyue's hands.

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Thank you, brothers."

The two of them were filled with indescribable emotions. They felt that Dugu Jingyao was worthy of her status as the Princess of Guangping, so calm and polite to the kidnappers. Looking at the little princess, although a little scared, she didn't cry or make a fuss.

Unlike some of the rich girls they had kidnapped before, who either yelled or spoke foul language. Fortunately, their masters did not let them hurt these two, otherwise, they would have been a little reluctant!

Meanwhile, Dugu Jingyao in the small dark room whispered to Liu Jingyue, "Yuer, can you see if you can untie the rope on my hand?"

Liu Jingyue suddenly realized that, yes, she was young and didn't know martial arts, so she didn't have much killing power, but her sister did! As long as her hands were untied, she could help her sister untie them, and the two of them might be able to escape.

So Liu Jingyue did as she was told, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and "crawled" forward. She went behind Dugu Jingyao and looked at the rope that tied Dugu Jingyao.

After seeing this, she was slightly stunned. It turned out that her sister was really lethal. Even the rope she tied was stronger than her own... She tried it and found that the rope was tied quite tightly, so she whispered: "Sister, your rope is too tight, I can't untie it!"

Dugu Jingyao was not panicked. She had expected that these people would be on guard against her, so she said, "Forget it, come here and let's eat!"

Liu Jingyue had no choice but to give up, thinking: After all, people are made of iron and food is made of steel, let's eat first. So she quickly ate her own food, and then went to feed Dugu Jingyao. Dugu Jingyao actually enjoyed her sister taking care of her.

The two people outside estimated that it was about time, so the one named Lao San pushed the door open and came in. The light from outside shone in and was a little dazzling.

He looked at the leftover food of the two people, didn't say much, took the plates and left.

Dugu Jingyao was not surprised that he didn't say anything, because she found that this man named Lao San didn't seem to be very smart. However, this was a breakthrough point. It was just that he refused to talk much, so if she wanted to get more information from him, she had to proceed step by step.

Then Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Yuer, close your eyes and rest for a while." Liu Jingyue nodded lightly, and the two leaned on each other and closed their eyes.

Dugu Jingyao closed her eyes and recalled what happened at this time in her previous life, and thus deduced why Zhang kidnapped her and Yue'er.

But after recalling it, it seemed that nothing had happened at this time in the previous life... But then I thought again, no, I was reborn, and because of some things I did, a series of things changed, such as becoming the Princess of Guangping, who was married by the Emperor, and Shen Zhenzhu falling in love with Dugu Moyan...

So it is very likely that some things will happen earlier or later, or that something will happen that has never happened in the previous life.

She then recalled what had happened during this period. Suddenly, she remembered something infuriating. Shi Siming had sought Dugu Xin's help in a rebellion, but An Lushan's family, fearing that Dugu Xin and his men would establish themselves as emperors, had preemptively killed Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan.

Although it was infuriating, it was the biggest event that had happened in this period of time. In addition, she remembered that in her previous life, Zhang had colluded with Shi Siming for the throne, and this time, there was no guarantee that it was not for this matter.

Thinking of this, Dugu Jingyao suddenly realized that the kidnapping of the two sisters was probably also to borrow troops from the Dugu family.

However, this time she married Li Chu first, and was already a member of the royal family. Naturally, her father would not side with them, so she took the risk. After thinking it through, Dugu Jingyao had a clear idea in her heart.

Dugu Jingyao turned her head to look in Liu Jingyue's direction and whispered, "Yuer, come closer, I have something to tell you."

Liu Jingyue thought to herself: "So what solution has my sister come up with?" So she leaned over and listened to what she said.

Dugu Jingyao whispered something to her, and she seemed to understand, and looked at Dugu Jingyao with affirmation, indicating that she could do it.

Sure enough, not long after, the door was opened again, and the sunlight came in, so bright that Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue covered their eyes with their hands.

This time, another person came in. He tied Liu Jingyue's hands again, covered her eyes with a cloth, and said, "Princess, our master wants to see you."

After saying that, he pulled Liu Jingyue up. Although Liu Jingyue was nervous, she thought of what Dugu Jingyao had told her, so she plucked up her courage and followed the man's guidance to walk out.

After leaving the house, the man specifically reminded the third brother: "Third brother, take good care of the princess. I will be back soon."

The third brother gave him a relieved expression. The man then took Liu Jingyue away.

Liu Jingyue walked forward, memorizing the route in his mind. However, it took a long time because he couldn't see clearly, so he didn't know if he had taken a detour or if the place was just that big. Fortunately, the original owner, Dugu Jingyue, had a good memory. At least she remembered the route to where they stopped.

Not long after stopping, she felt herself being led into a room. Once there, she clearly felt the door behind her being closed, and then the bandage on her eyes was removed.

She saw Zhang's beautiful eyes looking at her, which made her heart tremble, but she still pretended to be calm.

Zhang took a sip of tea and asked, "Princess Yining, right?"

Liu Jingyue nodded without saying anything.

Zhang asked again, "Are you scared?"

Liu Jingyue pretended to be scared, raised her head, nodded first, and then shook her head.

Zhang also saw that she was afraid, but she was just trying hard to pretend that she wasn't. She thought to herself: This girl is interesting.

She chuckled and said, "Oh, don't be afraid. I said I won't hurt you, and I won't let you die. That means I mean what I said. At least I won't touch you."

Liu Jingyue thought to herself: Sister, you are such a fortune teller. Seeing what Zhang was saying, I guess she is going to ask me something next. She pretended to nod.

As expected, Zhang then said, "Don't be afraid. I called you here just to ask you a few questions."

Liu Jingyue still said nothing, just looked at her with those innocent eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang asked, "I heard that your Dugu army is brave and good at fighting, and that the King of Yunnan gave 100,000 Dugu soldiers to Princess Guangping as a dowry. Is this true?"

Liu Jingyue shook her head and said boldly, "This princess doesn't know. My father prepared my sister's dowry. I don't know the details..."

Zhang continued patiently, "Oh? But everyone knows about this, how could you not know?"

Liu Jingyue then pretended to be horrified, then calmed down and said, "Since you already know everything, why are you still asking me?"

Zhang knew it was true. Children are so easy to fool. She laughed and said, "Then do you know where your sister put the military token?"

Liu Jingyue really didn't know this time, so she shook her head again and said, "This...this princess really doesn't know!" After she finished speaking, her emotions were almost brewing, and she finally burst into tears, and then it became more and more uncontrollable.

Seeing Liu Jingyue like this, she was clueless and so timid, so Zhang probably couldn't get anything out of her. She also felt that Liu Jingyue's crying was annoying.

So he ordered the people around him: "Go, shut her mouth!"

There was a maid standing next to her. After she responded, she took a handkerchief, walked over angrily, and covered her mouth with it.

Liu Jingyue also felt that she had performed well enough, and her crying gradually subsided and turned into sobbing.

Zhang pressed her temples and ordered the man who had just brought him here, "Yu Da, take her back."

Yu Da obeyed the order, put the cloth strip on Liu Jingyue, and led her back. Liu Jingyue carefully calculated that the road was the same as the way she came, which meant that this place was very large and he didn't deliberately take a detour.

Finally, after many twists and turns, Liu Jingyue was thrown back into the small dark room, and the cloth on her eyes was taken off. Seeing that she stopped crying, the handkerchief in her mouth was also taken out.
