Chu Yunge quickly reached out to grab the thing in his hand, and she moved as fast as lightning. She was afraid that if she moved too slowly, Feng Yi would take the thing back.
"Xiao Ge, then your husband will leave?" Seeing the joy in Chu Yunge's eyes, the look in Feng Yi's eyes became gentler as she asked her in a low voice.
"En, let's go. We have to be careful when we do things. Don't let anyone find any flaws in us." After taking her treasure, Chu Yunge was extremely happy. She turned her head and forgot about the awkward moment of calling Feng Yi a husband, she happily waved her hands at Feng Yi, "Take care, I won't send you off."
"Be careful, I'm leaving."
Seeing the smile on Chu Yunge's face, Feng Yi felt even more refreshed, the curve of his lips became even more graceful, if not for the fact that the human skin mask on her face concealed his originally elegant and refined look, it was possible that this smile on his face would enchant countless of girls.
Watching Feng Yi's back as she left, Chu Yunge also retreated back to her cell and sat on her table. She spread out her hands and carefully observed the palm-sized crossbow in her palms.
With this, she would be able to protect herself even better.
The silver needles in the crossbow were all needles that she had personally made. Each silver needle was thicker and harder than the usual acupuncture needles. The silver needles were hollow and filled with anesthetic powder.
As long as the needle hit, it would cause a person to be anesthetized locally for around two hours.
Since the silver needle was hollow, there were many ingredients that could be placed in the needle. Only then would it be able to display its effects in the shortest amount of time.
Now that he had the ticklish powder and silver needles, Chu Yunge's confidence was boosted greatly. Feng Yi was indeed a meticulous person, he knew what she needed the most right now. Not only did he know to bring these items over, he even made detailed modifications to the usage of the silver needles.
Thinking to this point, the corner of Chu Yunge's mouth couldn't help but curl up at a angle that even she herself could not detect.
After looking too much at the crossbows in her hands, Chu Yunge was unavoidably discovered by the guards. They didn't dare to put him on the bed or the dressing table, but rather placed him on top of them.
Putting her things away, she walked to the door of the cell and peered through the iron bars at the cell diagonally opposite, where two mad women were resting on broken mattresses.
She had seen her conversation with Feng Yi in the corridor earlier.
However, they seemed to be extremely afraid of Feng Yi who was dressed in a black robe. When they saw Feng Yi coming in, they immediately hid their heads in the blanket and didn't dare to move an inch.
Furthermore, Feng Yi's conversation with his was very soft, they were hiding in the innermost corner of the prison, so they probably did not hear clearly what she had said to Feng Yi.
So what if they heard it?
Chu Yunge leaned against the iron fence pitifully, and looked at the two mad women who were having a nap, and sighed in her heart. The two of them had been tortured for so many years and were locked up since long ago, so even if they heard her conversation with Feng Yi and told the prison guards what she said, they would only think that the two of them were crazy again.
This was the sorrow of a madman. Because the words of a madman, no one would ever believe them.
Time passed silently in the quiet prison.
After Feng Yi left, Chu Yunge went to rest on the bed in her cell.
The ancients calculated whether there were any clocks or not, usually by ringing the bell to remind everyone what time it was.
The people who tapped the sundial and moon-dial would determine the time of day, and if there was no sundial as a reference, the time would also be calculated using a water droplet.
In the streets and in the palaces, there were people fighting for more money.
However, once they reached the State Supervisor Temple, there were no longer any people ringing the bell.
The person who struck the bell didn't ring the bell every two hours.
On the high platform beside the main hall of the State Supervisor Temple, there was a bell. It meant the beginning of a new day.
As for the rest of the time, there wouldn't be anyone who would ring the bell.
Thus, no one in the Sherita prison would know how long he had been locked up for.
Because there was almost no concept of time.
Chu Yunge also didn't know when it would actually be midnight. In the past, she had relied on Feng Yi to know what time it was, but now that Feng Yi wasn't by her side, she didn't know how to count the time.
Looking at the moonlight shining in through the window, Chu Yunge lifted up the chair and stood on it. Looking out from the window, he could only see that the direction of the moon seemed to be in the west, which meant it was close to the center of the night sky.
When the moon appeared in the middle of the night sky, it meant it was midnight.
Chu Yunge got off the stool and laid back on the bed.
As she had already rested on the bed during the evening, Chu Yunge did not feel sleepy. However, in order to prevent the patrolling guards from waking up, she had always been lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Chu Yunge was about to fall back into sleep due to boredom, the door to her cell suddenly released a slight sound.
With a 'kacha' sound, the prison door was opened from the outside.
In the whole Sherry tower, the guards didn't have the key. Even if they had the key, they wouldn't easily open every cell.
There were only prison guards who were in charge of opening the prison door. However the prison guards would only come to open the door at two meals a day and would only patrol for the rest of the time.
The dinner had obviously been delivered a few hours ago, so it was impossible for him to rush in to send him another midnight snack.
Therefore, the one who opened her cell door, should be Feng Yi.
Chu Yunge pondered as she slowly opened her eyes. She sat up in alert and looked towards the entrance.
Sure enough, the person who came in was the familiar sallow yellow face of Feng Yi!
The skin mask that Feng Yi was wearing had a waxy yellow skin, with a bunch of fine stubble at the corner of his mouth. This kind of face, only the skin mask that Feng Yi was wearing could look like this!
"You finally came. If you didn't come, I would have fallen asleep."
Chu Yunge complained in a low voice as she bent down to feel her shoes under the bed.
Feng Yi had already walked in from the entrance of the prison. His footsteps were light and noiseless, but after walking to Chu Yunge's side, he took the initiative to squat down and picked up the other pen he wrote on the side of the bed. He lifted up Chu Yunge's jade feet and gently put on his socks and embroidered cloth shoes.
"It was only after I left that I remembered that there was no sundial in the tower. Without me telling you the time, you would not have had the time. But I was thinking that it was too late to come in. The captain of the guard sent me on a tour of the other places to change shifts, so I left this floor. "Now that it's my time to rest, I came back. I didn't expect you to still be in high spirits." Feng Yi knelt on one knee and half-squatted beside her to help her put on a pair of shoes while raising his head to look at her.
"Don't worry, who do you think I, Chu Yunge, am? Without a sundial, it will not be difficult for me to calculate the time." With my intelligence, there are very few things that I cannot solve! " Looking at Feng Yi squatting in front of him, voluntarily putting on his shoes and socks, Chu Yunge's heart warmed, he did not know why his ears had turned red, feeling that his neck and ears were extremely hot, in order to prevent Feng Yi from noticing anything strange, he raised his head and spoke those arrogant and delicate words.
"Yes, your husband knows that you are meticulous and dexterous, there are very few things that would trouble you." Feng Yi chuckled as he held onto her ankle, but he did not let go. He grinned and continued to laugh, "It's just that Xiao Ge, you seem to be very modest today, praising yourself with full confidence, why are your ears red?"
"That's hot …" Chu Yunge hurriedly lifted her hand to cover her ears. She didn't expect that Feng Yi, who had sharp eyes, would still find out that he was deliberately avoiding his gaze.
"Hahaha, good! So it's this hot in the cell. The robe I'm wearing is much thicker than your clothes. I don't feel the heat, but instead you feel the heat. Is it because you're not feeling well?" The smile on Feng Yi's face became even more pronounced, and as he spoke, he extended his hand to touch Chu Yunge's forehead.
Chu Yunge immediately dodged: "My body is very good, I'm fine, you don't have to touch it, we better hurry up, things are more important."
As she said that, Chu Yunge pulled her feet out from Feng Yi's hands. Stepping on the ground, she quickly moved from the bed to the table, and tidied up her messy clothes that were all over the place.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." After Feng Yi finished laughing, he slowly put away the arc at the corner of his mouth and walked to Chu Yunge's side and whispered: "Before I came, I had already placed the incense in front of these guards, and mixed in their food were some musk and saffron that helped them to sleep. They had already fallen asleep while guarding us, this sleep will be very heavy for now, we have enough time."
"Good job. Without those annoying guards, our path to the seventh floor will be much easier. "Right …" When Chu Yunge walked to the entrance of the prison, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Feng Yi, "But when you used the incense, you only enchanted the guards at this level. What should she do? "If I don't know when they will take over the job, wouldn't I be in trouble if I bumped into them when I went upstairs?"
"Who said that I don't know the time of their shift change? It was just one afternoon and I had already figured out the gist of it. The spies that the Moon Pavilion has sent here have been lying in ambush for several years, so this bit of information can still be obtained. " Feng Yi opened his lips and said calmly.
"That's good. If I really meet those guards, I'll use the crossbow in my hand to deal with them and let them have a good night's sleep. " As Chu Yunge spoke, she patted the crossbow hidden in her chest and revealed an evil grin, "You made me a crossbow that I haven't tried yet. It just so happens that I can use those guards to practice tonight! "
Feng Yi stood at the side and looked at her silently, a faint smile on his lips.
Chu Yunge had always been like this, so confident and optimistic that she treated most things with a positive attitude.
It was just like a pink peach blossom blooming under the hot spring sun. The radiance of spring overflowed everywhere and was always warm and brilliant.
This was also one of the reasons why he was initially attracted to Chu Yunge.
While she was deep in thought, Chu Yunge had already opened the door and was ready to move.
He immediately held Chu Yunge's hand and held her as they quickly left the third floor and walked towards the stairs that led to the fourth floor …
