As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

He reached out and untied her belt. Jiang Yue watched the enraged Mu Yang rushing towards her. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her body instinctively stepped back. She closed her eyes in despair, awaiting the impending humiliation.

"Yu'er, you are mine!" Mu Yang's eyes were full of madness, and he shouted that Jiang Yue could only belong to him.

Jiang Yue felt extremely desperate. She knew that if she was caught by Mu Yang again, it would be difficult for her to escape. At this critical moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Brother Mu Yang!" A crisp voice sounded. Mu Yang paused and turned to look at the door.

The person who came was Mu Xue. She ran in anxiously and was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her. "Brother Mu Yang, what are you doing?"

Mu Xue's appearance gave Jiang Yue a glimmer of hope. She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

When Mu Yang saw Mu Xue, the madness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of annoyance. "Xue'er, why are you here?"

"I... I heard the servants say you were here, so I came to see you." Mu Xue's eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Yue and Mu Yang. She noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

"Xue'er, go out first. I'll come to find you later." Mu Yang's tone was a little impatient.

"No, I won't leave!" Mu Xue stood there stubbornly. She didn't want her brother to go crazy because of Jiang Yue. She wanted him to return to normal. "Brother Mu Yang, you can't do this to her. She..."

"Xue'er, this is my business, don't interfere!" Mu Yang's voice rose a few degrees, his patience was almost exhausted.

Mu Xue bit her lip. She knew she couldn't provoke Mu Yang any further, or it would only backfire. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Brother Mu Yang, I know you like Jiang Yue, but you can't treat her like this. It will only make her hate you more."

Mu Yang's face darkened. He looked at Mu Xue with a warning in his eyes. "Xue'er, you'd better not challenge my bottom line."

Mu Xue didn't back down. She looked straight into Mu Yang's eyes and said firmly, "Brother Mu Yang, wake up! Jiang Yue doesn't like you at all. Forcing her like this will only make her hate you more!"

Mu Yang's body trembled slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He knew that Mu Xue was right, but he just couldn't control himself. His love for Jiang Yue was deep in his bones. He couldn't bear Jiang Yue running away from him, and he couldn't bear Jiang Yue belonging to someone else.

"Brother Mu Yang, please let her go. I will help you persuade her." Mu Xue's voice softened, and she tried to influence Mu Yang in a gentle way.

Mu Yang looked at Mu Xue, his eyes full of struggle. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and blood flowed down between his fingers.

Jiang Yue watched the scene, her heart filled with hope. She knew that Mu Xue's appearance was a turning point, and perhaps she could really escape Mu Yang's clutches.

Mu Yang was struggling fiercely in his heart, not knowing what to do. At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Your Highness, Young Master Ding requests to see you." A servant's voice came.

Ding Chen? Jiang Yue's heart moved, and she seemed to see the dawn of hope.

Mu Yang's face darkened when he heard Ding Chen's name. He turned sharply to look at Jiang Yue, his eyes filled with warning. "Yu'er, you'd better behave yourself, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open again and Ding Chen appeared at the door.

"Mu Yang, let her go!" Ding Chen's voice was filled with anger. He strode to Jiang Yue and protected her behind him.

Mu Yang looked at Ding Chen, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Ding Chen, you're courting death!"

Ding Chen looked at Mu Yang fearlessly and said firmly, "Mu Yang, I won't let you hurt her!"

A fierce look flashed in Mu Yang's eyes. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mu Xue: "Brother Mu Yang, calm down! You'll scare Miss Jiang like this!"

Mu Yang didn't expect his sister to come and stop him. He was shocked and shouted at Mu Xue angrily: "Mu Xue! Get out! This is my business, you don't have to interfere!"

Mu Xue did not flinch, she stood there firmly and said, "Brother Mu Yang, you can't do this! Miss Jiang didn't do anything wrong, you can't treat her like this!"

Jiang Yue was surprised to see Mu Xue appear, but also a little grateful. Although Mu Xue had always been against her, she was like a lifeline at this moment. She clutched her clothes tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Ding Chen also took the opportunity to walk over to Jiang Yue, protecting her behind him, and said to Mu Yang: "Mu Yang, let her go! You are breaking the law!"

Mu Yang looked at Ding Chen and Mu Xue, his rage boiling. He felt betrayed by everyone. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the rage in his heart, and said, "All of you get out! I don't want to see you again!"

"Brother Mu Yang..." Mu Xue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Yang's eyes.

Mu Xue bit her lip and finally compromised. She knew that it was useless to say anything now. She could only leave here first and think of a solution later. She looked at Jiang Yue deeply, turned around and left the room.

Ding Chen also glanced at Jiang Yue, gave her a reassuring look, and then left with Mu Xue.

Mu Yang and Jiang Yue were the only ones left in the room.

Mu Yang looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. He walked up to Jiang Yue, reached out and gently stroked her cheek, and said softly, "Yuer, why do you always run away from me? Do you really hate me that much?"

Jiang Yue looked at Mu Yang, her heart filled with fear and disgust. She shook Mu Yang's hand away, took a few steps back, and said, "Mu Yang, let me go! I won't like you!"

Mu Yang's eyes instantly turned cold. He grabbed Jiang Yue's wrist, pulled her in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "Jiang Yue, you'd better behave yourself! Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do!"

Jiang Yue struggled to break free from Mu Yang's restraints, but she was no match for him. She closed her eyes in despair, awaiting her impending fate.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you!"

Mu Yang paused, turned his head and looked towards the door, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Yue, and finally let go of her hand, saying, "Jiang Yue, just wait! I won't let you go!"

After saying that, Mu Yang turned and left the room.

Jiang Yue slumped on the ground, breathing heavily. She watched Mu Yang leave, her heart filled with fear and anxiety.

She knew that this was only a brief respite and Mu Yang's revenge would soon come.

She must find a way to escape from here as soon as possible!

"Qiu'er," Jiang Yue called out weakly. Outside the door, a strange male voice came: "Miss, Qiu'er is not here, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Yue was startled and looked towards the door warily. A man in black walked in with a barely perceptible smile on his face. He held a bowl of steaming medicine in his hands. The aroma was strong, yet faintly fragrant.

"Who are you? Where is Qiu'er?" Jiang Yue tried to remain calm, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

The man in black smiled slightly, placed the medicine on the table, and replied, "I am here to deliver the medicine on the orders of the prince. Miss Qiu'er, there is no need to panic. The prince has sent her on an errand." He paused and added, "This medicine was specially brewed by the prince, and he said it would be of great benefit to your health."

Jiang Yue sneered inwardly. Would Mu Yang be so kind as to give her medicine? It might be poison! She studied the man in black calmly, plotting a way to escape. She absolutely dared not drink this medicine.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I am not seriously ill right now. I'd better take the medicine later." Jiang Yue politely refused.

The man in black still kept smiling, but his tone was unquestionable: "Young lady, you'd better drink it while it's hot. The prince has instructed that I must watch you drink it." As he spoke, he approached Jiang Yue step by step, a sharp look in his eyes.

Jiang Yue's heart was filled with alarm. Mu Yang was going to put her under house arrest! As the man in black approached, Jiang Yue suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at him. "I don't believe you! This old man is so evil!" She blurted out, imitating the popular online meme from her previous life.

The man in black obviously hadn't anticipated Jiang Yue's sudden attack, and was hit on the forehead by the teacup before he could dodge. He covered his forehead and glared at Jiang Yue, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You're looking for death!" The man in black roared and was about to rush up to grab Jiang Yue.

At this moment, Jiang Yue suddenly had an idea and pointed out the window and shouted, "Look! There's a flying saucer!"

The man in black subconsciously turned his head to look, and Jiang Yue took the opportunity to rush to the door, suddenly opened it, and ran out. She knew that this was just a delaying tactic, and she had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.

Jiang Yue seized the opportunity and quickly ran to a corner of the courtyard where there was a dog hole. Without hesitation, she slipped through and successfully escaped the courtyard. Upon emerging, she discovered she had entered the palace's back garden, truly escaping from a wolf's den and entering a tiger's lair. She dusted herself off, silently cursing Mu Yang's cunning and treacherous nature for imprisoning her in such a secluded place.

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She was penniless and unfamiliar with the place. She had to find a way to leave the palace as soon as possible, otherwise Mu Yang would find her sooner or later.

Jiang Yue walked along the garden path, feeling extremely anxious. She didn't know where to go, nor how to survive in this world. More importantly, she didn't know how to avoid Mu Yang's pursuit.

Although Jiang Yue escaped from the courtyard, she knew that Mu Yang would not let her go easily. Moreover, she was now penniless. How could she survive in this world and avoid Mu Yang's pursuit?
