Chapter 55: Escape

Behind Lu Zhaoling, far away against the wall, was an iron frame full of torture instruments.

Lu Zhaoling gasped and shivered.

…… It doesn't matter, at least there's something to take advantage of.

Lu Zhaoling tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart.

She turned back to the front with great effort, and for the time being, she decided to wait patiently for food and replenish her strength.

This short half-day experience had already exhausted Lu Zhaoling's body and mind, she sat quietly and waited for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up again, she felt a wave of hunger.

I feel like I've slept for a long time, so I've been through the night, right?

Lu Zhaoling guessed.

She was cold and hungry at this time, and her body was weak and a little sore.

Didn't you bring any food......

Lu Zhaoling was a little anxious.

If no one shows up on time, it won't be long before Lu Zhaoling can no longer calculate the time, and he can't even know if it's day or night outside.

Lu Zhao cheered up and decided that he couldn't wait any longer and had to start acting immediately.

With all the strength of her body, she writhed and moved behind her.

Just as she was moving back intently, the iron door suddenly "clanged" open, startling her.

Bai Xi appeared at the door again, holding a lamp in one hand and a food box in the other, looking at her with a smile.

Lu Zhaoling pursed his lips and stared at Bai Xi.

"Sister Zhaoling, are you hungry?" Bai Xi came to Lu Zhaoling and put the lamp and food box on the ground.

Lu Zhaoling didn't want to speak, so he just stared at him coldly.

"I told the dining room to make some of your favorite dishes, but it may have been cold along the way." Bai Xi's words were relaxed and casual, as if he was chatting about some family life.

As he spoke, he opened the food box, brought out a bowl of rice, and put some vegetables in it.

"It's not convenient for you to do it yourself now, so let me feed you. Don't worry, I don't mind. Bai Xi stretched out his chopsticks to Lu Zhaoling's mouth.

Although he was already hungry and prepared not to go on a hunger strike to replenish his strength, Lu Zhaoling still found it difficult to accept this situation.

"Why, don't you like to eat? Good boys can't be picky eaters, and I hear you growl with hunger. Bai Xi said with a smile as if coaxing a child.

"Come, open your mouth." He stretched his chopsticks forward.

Lu Zhaoling forcibly held back the feeling of humiliation in his heart, closed his eyes unwillingly, and opened his mouth.

"That's right." Bai Xi praised with a smile, as if he was praising his cat.

Finally finished eating, Bai Xi put away the food box and pulled out a sharp knife from the bottom.

"Next, it's time for me to enjoy the delicious food."

Bai Xi's eyes showed some greed, and the blade of the knife in his hand was attached to Lu Zhaoling's neck, gently sliding down from the side.

Lu Zhaoling swallowed nervously.

The knife kept going all the way, slid into Lu Zhaoling's collar, and picked it up.

The thin fabric was cut by the sharp knife without hindrance, revealing Lu Zhaoling's white shoulders.

Lu Zhaoling glared at Bai Xi in anger and a little panic.

Bai Xi smiled and stretched out his hand, slowly stroking Lu Zhaoling's smooth skin.

"Hmm...... Smooth...... Delicate skin ......"

Bai Xi leaned his face closer and sniffed deeply in satisfaction.

"You're very fragrant, Zhaoling...... It's not anything else that brings you the fresh aroma that comes out of yourself......"

Bai Xi licked his lips.

"You're so cheap." Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but scold.

"Hehehe...... It's this hard-mouthed look that makes you even more exciting......"

Bai Xi carelessly picked open the neckline on the other side of Lu Zhaoling, and then reached out and pulled her collar down.

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoling snorted lightly, and while he was angry, his body was already trembling involuntarily.

"Are you afraid?" Bai Xi's fingers ran across Lu Zhaoling's skin, feeling her tremble slightly.

Lu Zhaoling tilted his face to the side, avoiding Bai Xi's gaze.

Bai Xi reached out and pinched Lu Zhaoling's face, straightened it fiercely, and forced her to look at herself.

"If you're afraid, beg me." Bai Xi smiled evilly, "If you cry bitterly and beg me to spare you, and beg me to let you go, maybe I will be soft-hearted?" ”

Lu Zhaoling pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

"I don't want to see you, you're disgusting." She said in disgust.

Bai Xi's smile did not change, and he was about to say something more, when the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the iron gate.

"Your Highness, please see you if you have something urgent."

Bai Xi's smile froze, and his interest was interrupted, obviously very angry.

"Hmph." He shook his hand and let go of Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling was thrown by him and almost twisted his neck.

The sudden report seemed to be in a hurry, Bai Xi leaned over and lifted the food box, stuffed the knife in his hand, picked up the candlestick and hurried away.

Lu Zhaoling stared at Bai Xi's back as she left, holding her breath, and waited until the iron door was completely closed, and after a short while, she gradually relaxed, and her heart "thumped".

She looked like a thief to the ground, a small thing that reflected the glimmer.

It's the knife just now. Bai Xi walked in a hurry, and didn't pay attention to drop it to the ground.

Can't wait any longer, although the timing is not too good during the day, Lu Zhaoling can't wait.

She moved towards the knife little by little, and although it was difficult, her heart was full of hope and she felt that she was full of strength.

Finally moving to the knife, she leaned over, fell to the ground, and groped with her hands tied behind her back to grab the knife.

She flipped her wrist and quickly cut the rope.

She breathed a heavy sigh of relief the moment the rope that bound her hands broke.

When she untied all the restraints of her body, she stood up and moved her numb legs briefly, and then walked lightly to the door.

This iron door looks sturdy, and the lock is also hung on the other side, making it unlikely to open from the inside.

Lu Zhaoling thought for a while and thought of a simple countermeasure.

She came to the torture rack and picked out a long stick and carried it in her hand, which was quite easy. She then came to the side and pushed the shelf to the ground.

The heavy iron frame fell to the ground with a loud thud.

There should be guards outside.

After making this big move, Lu Zhaoling clenched his long stick and came to the door, nervously waiting for the guards to come and check.

Sure enough, as she expected, the sound of unlocking sounded.

Lu Zhaoling's heart was beating wildly, her palms were a little sweaty, she raised her stick and waited.

The iron door was slowly pushed open, and a figure leaned in.

Lu Zhaoling did not hesitate to swing down with a stick.

The man snorted and fell to the ground.

Lu Zhaoling gasped, swallowed his saliva, and clenched his stick again.

After waiting a little longer, seeing no one else coming, she cautiously stepped over the people on the ground, remained on guard, and came to the door.

In front of him was an empty indoor hallway, with no second guard.

I...... I escaped.

Lu Zhaoling stood at the door and was stunned for a while, and the joy of escaping gradually welled up in his heart.
