Chapter 3646: 4.1246 Misery

"What are you doing? What are you doing??" Chen Baojia shrieked, struggling fiercely as the two hidden guards dragged her.

Ever since that wretched Concubine Hong force-fed her a Spirit Dissipation Pill, her cultivation had steadily worsened over the past ten-odd days.

It had now fallen to less than Level Five of the Spiritual Realm.

She was no match for these hidden guards before her. She was pressed against a post, her hands and feet bound by iron rings.

Her neck was also clamped by an iron collar, leaving her completely immobile. She could only desperately struggle her hands, staring at the slowly approaching Duan Yue with terrified eyes, repeatedly yelling, "Prince Chen, what are you doing? I've told you everything I should! You, how could you do this to me?"

Duan Yue glanced at her coldly. "Miss Chen, why did you think of coming to me for help?"

"Because Your Highness is going to the Divine State this time. I, I just hope that Your Highness can, can take me with you! Your great kindness will be unrequited. Your Highness, I, I can repay you! Your Highness."

Who cares about your repayment?

Duan Yue curled his lips sarcastically. "You just said that Rong Li's trip is to kidnap Qiao Qiao?"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Baojia nodded repeatedly, saying, "I overheard this."

"You and I both know what kind of person Rong Li is. Where does he get such confidence to think he can steal someone right under Crown Prince Mo's nose?"

"Your, Your Highness has been in seclusion these past few days, so you wouldn't know. The Divine State Crown Prince recently took people to, to a small mountain village to besiege corpse puppets, and he hasn't returned yet."

"It's even debatable whether he'll make it back for the wedding," Chen Baojia said, her eyes rolling. Then she smiled fawningly, "Why, why don't Your Highness, you, you follow behind Rong Li, like a mantis stalking a cicada, with an oriole behind?"

Chen Baojia grew more animated as she spoke. "Once Rong Li kidnaps her, you can secretly snatch her from him. Then, probably no one will know Qiao Mu is in your hands!"

"You think Mo Lian is an idiot like you," Duan Yue said, amused, cutting her off. He looked at Chen Baojia as if he found the conversation quite entertaining. "Miss Chen, how did you escape the back mountain of the Sun-Moon Temple that day? I'm quite curious."

Chen Baojia's face stiffened.

Speaking of that day, she felt immense sorrow welling up.

She had barely escaped with her life from the mountain collapse. Who knew that after painstakingly digging her way out, she would be abducted by that hateful Ba Shu?

This Ba Shu had initially intended to forcibly take her after bringing her back to Fengdi City.

However, she raised such a fuss and refused to comply that Ba Shu decided to lock her up for a few days to tame her.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Ba Shu changed his mind. To curry favor with Crown Prince Rong Li, he sent her away.

Chen Baojia couldn't help but shed bitter tears at the thought.

To think that her father was the Left Prime Minister of the Divine State and her maternal aunt was the current Empress Dowager.

Originally, she was meant to enter the palace to be chosen as the Crown Princess, but unexpectedly, she ended up in this predicament.

Forcibly taken as a concubine in a foreign land, without even a proper title.

Duan Yue looked at Miss Chen's bitter and resentful expression, curving his lips. "Is there something else you haven't told me?"

Chen Baojia shivered.

"Rong Li must have such confidence because he holds a trump card."
