Chao Xing rubbed her eyes as she groaned and turned around here and there on the bed. Opening her eyes a little she came across that dark surroundings again.
"Where am I now?"
She rubbed her eyes as she tried to regain her vision and soon realised that she was still in the cellar of that dungeon and on that stone like bed.
She tried to sit up straight, "It was a dream?"
She was still sitting with her back resting on the wall as she slept there. Her whole body was aching badly.
"This is so messed up."
She realised that she might have fallen asleep when she was sitting on the bed.
All the events of that dream started to appear in her mind again.
"Oh! So it was their plan to frame me. I am being punished for the things I didn't even do." Chao Xing snorted and scoffed.
She was just about to get up from the bed when all of a sudden she heard some noises coming out of the door and soon the door was pushed open.
Two of the guards stood inside and said to Chao Xing,"You are being called."
"Why?"
With that Chao Xing stood up and suspiciously looked at them. Somehow this wasn't giving her the right vibes.
"Don't ask many questions. Start walking without any drama." The guard rudely spat those words at her and took long strides towards her.
The other guard followed her too and soon both the guards held her from both sides. Their grip was tight on her arms and somewhat Chao Xing was disgusted by their touch.
Never in her life had she allowed any man to touch her and now these guards were touching her and treating her like a criminal this made her cringe.
Chao Xing didn't say anything anymore after that. Getting out of there was the right thing for her to do at that time.
Both the guards dragged her out of the dungeon.
"Why don't you guys let my arms go and let me walk myself? It's not like I would run away with both of you around." She tried reasoning with them.
Chao Xing did try to let them let go of her arms, she wriggled and shook her arms so that their grip on her arms could get weak but it's like they weren't even bothered by her nor they were listening to her and kept on dragging her.
"Idiots!"
Soon they reached near Princess Xiao Chen's room and Chao Xing now realised where she was being taken. All the events of her dream started to run through her eyes as she started to think what she was going to do now.
'One thing is sure. I won't let anyone walk over me.'
Getting inside the room both the guards made Chao Xing bent down and sit on her knees in front of Princess Xiao Chen.
They were quite rash with her but she wasn't bothered much. Nor was she crying like other girls.
Looking up, Chao Xing saw another man standing there in the room. Looking at him, the way he stood and the way he was dressed she could easily guess that he wasn't some servant but an important person there.
Letting her eyes wander around in the room to check her surroundings she finally looked at Princess Xiao Chen who was analysing her.
She was expecting her to cry and beg her for mercy like most other girls would do at that time but seeing that calm yet cold expression on her face amazed her.
"This is the girl you were asking about Yang Feng."Princess Xiao Chen had her face turned towards the Yang Feng who was standing on a distance from her between Chao Xing and Princess Xiao Chen turned towards Chao Xing.
Chao Xing peeped up a little at him only to see him analysing her quite intensely.
'Why is he staring like he is going to eat me alive?'
By the looks of him Chao Xing could get he was already aware of the whole situation. Princess Xiao Chen would already have told him about the whole situation.
"Tell us. Why did you kill her?" Princess Xiao Chen asked her, finally looking down at her.
Chao Xing narrowed her eyes at that, 'What is she trying to do now?'
"I didn't kill her." A simple yet firm reply came from Chao Xing making Yang Feng narrow his eyes at her.
Princess Xiao Chen had already told him about the whole situation and told him that she was just using Chao Xing to get to the real person behind this.
But still Yang Feng wanted to interrogate her himself and check if she was really the real girl who his prince was looking for or if she was someone else.
"Then who did?" This time Yang Feng was the one who asked her.
Chao Xing looked a little at him and replied with a stern voice, "How would I know? You can ask her highness."
Chao Xing made it sound like Princess Xiao Chen was the one who already knew about the whole event but she herself didn't know that even Yang Feng was aware of it.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen narrowed her eyes and got more vigilant.
"I just want to tell you I didn't kill her. She was the one who attacked me first and you already know about this." Saying that Chao Xing looked up and for a minute looked directly at Xiao Chen's eyes whose eyes widened when she heard those last words from her.
Of course she was shocked and wasn't expecting that from her.
How did she get to know about this?
Xiao Chen was shocked but with that she was suspicious of her too now.
Yang Feng also caught the hidden meaning Chao Xing had in her words.
"Yeah I know. I know that you killed her." Xiao Chen replied.
"I want to talk to you alone...."
