The banquet continued, and everyone toasted each other and chatted.

Everyone took advantage of the situation and surrounded Bai Meng tightly.

Bai Mengke has learned his lesson. This time he pretended to accept everyone's toasts, but in fact he quietly put all the drinks into the Beast Taming Space.

He nodded and smiled as everyone praised his ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Gu Xiaoyue took a few bites of the food casually, but still couldn't muster any interest.

Bai Rongxuan and Bai Shengrui seemed to be about to come over and toast him, but were temporarily held back by others.

She frowned, went to the bathroom, and then returned to her room in stealth.

Although Gu Xiaoyue didn't know that the two brothers of the Bai family both wanted to take her as a concubine, but on the night of Yan Xinnan's birthday party, Bai Shengrui must have drugged herself and Bai Meng.

The two brothers are birds of a feather, so it's better to stay away from them.

After the banquet, Bai Jinyi returned to the dormitory and entered the secret room with the necklace given by Bai Meng.

The locked woman still looked listless, sitting on the couch in a daze with dull eyes.

"Jie'er, look what I brought you?"

Bai Jinyi presented the attribute necklace in front of Zheng Jie as if he was presenting a treasure.

Her golden eyes flickered and she answered mechanically like a puppet.

"nice."

Bai Jinyi was a little disappointed with Zheng Jie's performance, but still patiently explained to her.

"This is a birthday gift Meng'er gave me. I'll put it on you!"

After saying that, he put it around Zheng Jie's neck.

The purple crystals set off Zheng Jie's now fair skin and golden eyes, making her look a bit like an immortal.

Bai Jinyi's eyes were full of tenderness, but it was not right, this feeling was not right——

What is the difference? !

Zheng Jie reached out and gently stroked the necklace, the trembling of her fingertips showing her inner excitement.

Meng'er is becoming more and more promising. Will he be able to rescue himself one day?

God knows how much she wants to escape from this cage!

Tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously, but she was already in Bai Jinyi's arms.

The chains on my wrists rattled all night long—

Gu Xiaoyue thought she was a person who did not bother with worldly matters, but all kinds of troubles kept coming back to her.

Bai Jinyi’s birthday had just ended two days ago, and Gu Xiaoyue was accompanying Bai Meng in training.

Bai Jinyi found her and bowed before saying anything.

"Mr. Gu, sorry to bother you!"

Gu Xiaoyue was a little confused by his behavior. After all, she had been living with King Yi for more than three months, and this was the first time he was so respectful to her.

She returned the greeting to Bai Jinyi and asked him what he wanted to see her about.

"My father had an accident half a year ago and has been in poor health ever since. He has been suffering from illness every day.

Mr. Gu has supernatural powers and is very powerful. I hope you can help heal him.

I don’t ask for a complete recovery, I just want to relieve his pain!”

After Bai Jinyi finished speaking, he bowed deeply again and held Gu Xiaoyue there, neither moving up nor down.

Among Damon, Bai Meng should be the only one who knows that he has hydrotherapy skills.

But he is even more of a homebody than I am, so it was definitely not him who leaked the news.

Bai Jinyi still maintained the posture of bowing, and it seemed that he was trying to force Gu Xiaoyue to agree.

"Your Highness, I don't know where you heard that I have the ability to treat the king, but I can't."

Gu Xiaoyue opened her mouth to refuse, but Bai Jinyi remained motionless and insisted.

"I don't ask for my father to fully recover, but Mr. Gu should just go through this!"

Gu Xiaoyue’s facial features were all wrinkled together. What was going on?

She reached out her hand and helped Bai Jinyi up. "What on earth is wrong with King Yi? I really don't have the ability to do that. It's fatal to deceive the king—"

Bai Jinyi sighed and then spoke slowly.

“To be honest, Prince Duan got the news from somewhere that Mr. Gu has great magical powers and can treat father.

My father knows that you are my retainer, so he asked me to come and invite you.

As long as you are willing to go through this journey, I will help to protect you, but if you refuse, I am afraid I will be implicated.

So I can only ask for your help to relieve my father's pain!"

Gu Xiaoyue rubbed her throbbing temples. She thought she was a law-abiding person, but she was still dragged into the chess game!

In this case, she had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

"I can only do my best, there is no guarantee!"

When Bai Jinyi saw that Gu Xiaoyue agreed, he happily performed several more bows before leaving.

Gu Xiaoyue was a little annoyed. If an imperial decree was issued to forcibly summon her to the palace to treat the king, she could not disobey the order, but there were too many people around and there would be too many eyes.

They would not deal with him easily. At most, they would accuse him of a crime, and King Yi could also use his connections to benefit himself.

If she was arranged to enter the palace like this, she would probably be dealt with silently and no one would know.

She was not worried about her own safety, as she could easily get away with it.

But Bai Meng is now isolated and helpless, but that's OK -

A gleam of light flashed in Gu Xiaoyue's eyes. This was also an opportunity. As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger. If she took a chance, a bicycle could turn into a motorcycle!

Bai Meng was right next to them. His father was talking to his sister just now, but he didn't stop his training.

Only after his father left did he come over.

"Sister, father just--"

Bai Meng blinked her long eyelashes, and her pair of heterochromatic doe eyes made her look even more innocent.

Gu Xiaoyue explained the situation to him, but unexpectedly Bai Meng immediately became nervous.

"Sister, what if something unexpected happens? What if he - what will you do?"

Gu Xiaoyue seemed to be choked. Yes, why didn’t she think of it!

She was only thinking about exposing her hydrotherapy skills, or what to do if the treatment of King Damon was ineffective, but she never expected that someone would set her up - to kill King Damon and then put the blame on herself!

In that case, even ten Kings Yi wouldn’t be able to protect himself!

But now she has agreed, no - she has no right to refuse at all.

Once Bai Jinyi replies to King Damon, someone will come from the palace to pick her up soon!

Gu Xiaoyue took a deep breath and smiled.

The younger brother who was under his care seemed to have grown up without him noticing!

In this case, she had to use her real skills to save the old king's life, and also her own life!

After Bai Meng explained everything clearly, she went to find Bai Rongxian.

"The scarred man who attacked us that day, has the eldest master found out his background?"

It had been several days since the incident, and Gu Xiaoyue didn't believe that Bai Rongxuan would get nothing with his ability and status.

"Since his arm was cut off by the master last time, there has been no news so far. The only thing we found out is that he is most likely the Prince of Duan's man."

Gu Xiaoyue nodded slightly and had an idea in mind.

Bai Jinyi also said that it was Prince Duan who gave the advice to the king, but it was so abrupt, how could the old king believe it?

Is it really a desperate attempt to find a cure?

But this treatment has risks. Will he try it out as a last resort and use his own body for experiments?

Although she was full of doubts, she had to get on the car that the palace people came to pick her up.
