At this moment, her mood was as turbulent as the vast ocean, because she had no way of predicting what kind of unknown situation would be waiting for her if she answered this question correctly.

However, if she answered incorrectly, the cold-blooded man standing in front of her would immediately realize that she was not one of them, and the consequences would be unimaginable. She was afraid that he would never let her go easily.

After an intense inner struggle and careful consideration, Yun Shang finally made up her mind to give an answer no matter what.

So, she took a deep breath and answered with a slightly trembling but firm voice: "The first cosmic speed is 7.9 kilometers per second."

Yun Shang had watched quite a few science fiction films before, and she had just seen this problem in a science fiction film.

The man obviously did not expect Yun Shang to be able to answer this question so accurately, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

But he quickly regained his composure and immediately asked the next question: "Is the moonlight shining brightly in front of my bed?"

This time, Yun Shang blurted out without hesitation: "I think it's frost on the ground."

Hearing this answer, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, and a subtle glint flashed in his eyes. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "It seems that you really are one of us."

As he spoke, the man came slowly and calmly towards them.

He stretched out his slender fingers, gently raised his hand, and carefully untied the cloth covering Yun Shang's face.

In an instant, strong light broke into Yun Shang's eyes without any preparation. She felt a sharp pain in her eyes and quickly closed her eyes tightly again as if by reflex.

After a long while, when the discomfort eased a little, she tentatively opened her eyes slowly.

After a brief period of adaptation, she was finally able to see the scene clearly.

As far as the eye can see, a young man is sitting next to a candle.

He was dressed in a green robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his temperament was as gentle as jade, and he looked like an elegant scholar.

However, it is hard to imagine that beneath such a gentle and harmless appearance, he actually has such an awe-inspiring identity as the leader of 073.

Yun Shang pondered in her heart, and suddenly thought of Meng Tai again.

I wonder if Meng Tai ever had the honor of seeing the true appearance of this leader?

I guess there shouldn’t be any!

But now she can meet with the leader of 073 so easily. If this matter gets out, it will be something worth showing off, enough to prove that she still has some ability and luck.

At this moment, the man seemed to be filled with curiosity about Yun Shang. He leaned forward slightly, staring at Yun Shang intently, and then asked again, "How did you successfully hide your true identity from someone as shrewd as Zhao Qiyan?"

Yun Shang raised her chin slightly, pointed towards the chair not far away, and said softly, "Can I sit down and talk to you?"

Her gaze fell on the man opposite her, with a hint of expectation and inquiry in her eyes.

Then, Yun Shang sighed softly and slowly said, "We are not enemies, but friends! If we are friends, how can you treat me like this?"

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her hands and shook her wrists, which were tightly bound by ropes. At the same time, she stretched her feet forward, motioning the other person to look at the ropes that were also tightly tied around her ankles.

"And... I'm sure you already know I'm pregnant, right? My body can't handle the stress anymore, and I urgently need to rest. You know, this child is extremely important to Zhao Qiyan, and he's my only hope for a stable life in the future! So, no matter what, I can't allow anything to go wrong with this child."

As Yun Shang spoke, she subconsciously stroked her abdomen, her face full of maternal tenderness and care.

After hearing this, the man was silent for a moment, then nodded and waved his hand to signal his men to come in and untie Yun Shang's ropes.

After the ropes were loosened, two maids hurried forward and carefully helped Yun Shang sit on a chair. Then someone quickly brought her a sumptuous meal and steaming hot tea.

Yun Shang first glanced at the cup in front of her, and saw that the cup was filled with emerald green tea.

She frowned slightly, pointed at the cup, and said softly, "I'm sorry, pregnant women shouldn't drink tea. Please change it to boiled water. Thank you."

Her tone was very natural and easy-going, and she even said thank you when making the request.

Seeing Yun Shang's calm and courteous demeanor, the man couldn't help but nod again, expressing his agreement: "I have to admit, judging from all the signs, you are indeed a genuine time traveler. And compared to Lin Zhiyi, you are more like a time traveler in the truest sense."

Yun Shang lowered her head to eat rice. Upon hearing this, she looked up at the man thoughtfully, "I'm a time traveler, so there's no such thing as resemblance or not. Only Lin Zhiyi would say whether she looks like him or not, right?"

The man narrowed his eyes. "Oh? It seems you already know Lin Zhiyi's identity?"

Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and snorted disdainfully, "Humph! She's truly incredibly clueless! I only asked her a few random questions, and she immediately revealed her flaws. With her skill level, if a time traveler put even a little effort into probing her, her disguise would immediately fall apart."

The man beside him nodded thoughtfully and agreed, "Yeah, that's true."

"So, how did you manage to avoid being discovered by the King of Qi?"

Yun Shang swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "You guys didn't notice it either, did you?"

"Even the time traveler doesn't know that I'm a time traveler, let alone Zhao Qiyan?"

Facing Yun Shang's questioning, the man just watched her eating silently and did not respond immediately.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long while, the man slowly spoke: "Even if the facts are indeed as you said, how can I easily believe that you have not betrayed us and turned to serve under the King of Qi? After all, human hearts are unpredictable..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes revealed a hint of doubt and vigilance.

However, Yun Shang appeared extremely calm and composed at this moment. She spread her hands with a nonchalant expression and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, whatever you think. I'll find a way to escape from Prince Qi's mansion sooner or later. The only reason I'm staying here and submitting to this is to save my own life."
