Chapter 14: Embarrassment is a sharp skinning knife

There was a knock on the door, and without waiting for Yin Xinmei to answer, Infant Zhibai opened the door and walked in.

"Did you have a good lunch?" asked the captain with concern, sitting down on the elephant leather couch and gesturing for her to sit across from her.

Hidden eyebrows replied to him appreciatively and politely.

Then there was an awkward silence, and the hidden brow looked beyond the infantile white to the beautiful ornamental deerskin on the wall, and took care to leave him the honor of speaking again.

"It was me who was touched," she thought to herself, "what is he embarrassed about?"

The sand in the hourglass gradually passed.

"You've seen it," Ying Zhibai finally spoke, in a businesslike tone, "They are Mr. Su's students, and they are also good at medicine. Your Majesty has left them in my house for the time being to meet your needs. โ€

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness," she said not wanting to go around in circles, intending to take the initiative, "but I am flattered that your country takes such good care of slaves. What can I need?"

Infant Zhibai understood what she was saying, and after a short period of contemplation, he said, "Your Majesty needs to know from you about the Hidden Lotus, the Black Grave Pit, and Semier, and no one in the world knows better than you. โ€

"Is Semier still alive?"

"He is still alive, and by order of His Majesty, I have placed him in an absolutely safe area, you can rest assured. โ€

"You swear you'll set him free. โ€œ

"Yes, I swore and I remember my vow. But you also know that it would be good if he didn't die in his current situation, not to mention that his final situation depends on your performance in front of His Majesty. โ€

He was telling the truth, her words were just a temptation, and he behaved the same as in the dungeon, with focused bravery, quick eyesight, and sharp mind. How remarkable is this emperor to be so loyal to such a night wolf-like lieutenant?

"When should I see him?"

"At eleven o'clock in the evening, I will take you to see Your Majesty. Infant Zhibai pointed to the box that was on the coffee table when he entered the door, "Before that, you have to put on the clothes in the box." โ€

Yin Xinmei nodded, she hesitated for a moment, and finally made a request to him that haunted her heart.

"Captain Baby, I know that my status makes me unqualified to make a request from a nobleman like you," her eyes met Infant White directly, her tone was not inferior, her appreciation was heartfelt, and her plea was strong, "but I beg you very much, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill me in the future, before I die, I wish to see Semier and have a few words with him." โ€

Infant Zhibai's eyes flickered slightly, and he searched for the subtle expression on her face, "Can I know why you are so concerned about Semier? You probably didn't know him before you were imprisoned in the Black Grave. โ€

"It was an accident," the deep remorse he had seen reappeared on Yin Xinmei's face, "To put it simply, it should have been me, not him, who should have been infected by the Purple Cloud Flower Virus. I ยทยทยทยทยทยท owed to him. โ€

There was another silent silence, and the differences in the nature and experience of the two people immersed them in the ocean of different emotions with huge temperature differences.

"I can't swear to you this time," Infant Shiro looked into her eyes, "I can only say I tried my best. Pray for Your Majesty's mercy, and perhaps hope. โ€

The cold truth that some people say from their mouths can make people feel more grounded than false comfort, probably talking about people like Infant White.

"I'm going to lock you up now, just wait until the evening when I come to pick you up. "Not to guard against you, but against everyone else." โ€

"Or maybe you have to be on guard. She added in a low voice.

Infant White had nothing more to say, and stood up to leave. As soon as he reached the door, he paused, looked around, and then turned to her again.

"Except for my name," Hidden Eyebrows replied to him without waiting for him to speak, "they don't know anything. โ€

Infant White smiled, and she smiled too.

The door was shut, and the clatter of the brass lock was heard. The world was once again split in half, and the same dark clouds climbed up two different faces.
