"No..." She shook her head and denied it, unwilling to believe it. Brother Ye Hua once promised to take her away from the capital and live together as a family. How could he give her to someone else...

"You are lying! You must be lying to me. Brother Yehua will not give me away..." Baili Yue looked at the maid angrily.

The maid chuckled and said, "Whether the princess has been deceived, you can ask the Fourth Prince in person to find out."

"No... I don't believe it..." Baili Yue took a step back, her eyes gradually moistened, and tears began to fall. She didn't want to believe it.

But if this is a lie, how can it all be explained? Brother Ye Hua arranged for her to leave the palace and then sent her here, obviously to hand her over to the people of Kaifeng.

Why...why did my brother do this? She had always trusted brother Ye Hua, but now he seemed to have betrayed her.

Baili Yue felt like she had lost all strength in her body. She sat powerlessly on the ground, crying silently, tears falling continuously.

This deep sense of betrayal pierced her heart like a sharp knife, dragging her into a dark abyss and making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Why did Brother Ye Hua do this... Why did he give her to someone else...

When Baili Yue gradually calmed down, the maid said, "Princess, please have a good rest. I'm outside. You can call me if you need anything." After that, she turned and left, locking the door.

As the sound of the door lock rang, Baili Yue curled up on the ground, her shoulders trembling, as if she wanted to hide herself.

"Why would my brother do this..." She whispered repeatedly in her heart, her eyes empty as she stared ahead, as if she had lost her soul.

"Why..." She muttered, her voice full of confusion and pain.

Baili Yue was looking forward to reuniting with her mother and brother after leaving the palace, but she never expected that her brother would send her to this strange place. She was kept in the dark and became part of this scam without realizing it.

Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and her eyesight was blurred by tears. The surroundings were terribly quiet, and only her low sobs broke the silence. She didn't know how long she cried, until exhaustion gradually took over her body, and she realized that she had to do something.

"I must leave here..." With fear, Baili Yue propped herself up and staggered towards the door, trying to push it open with all her strength. However, the sound of the heavy chain told her that the world outside the door was closed to her.

With tears hanging on her eyelashes and her face as pale as paper, she knocked on the door anxiously: "Open the door! Open the door quickly, you can't trap me like this!" Panic surged like a tide, making her heart a mess.

What was the intention of these people locking her up here? No, she wanted to go home. She didn't want to stay here. As the slapping sound became more and more rapid, the pain from her palms didn't seem to wake anyone outside. The windows were also sealed, and everything seemed to indicate that she would be trapped here.

The feeling of helplessness followed her everywhere, and cold fear filled her body. Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she didn't know how to escape. "Please let me go... I don't know what Brother Yehua did, you shouldn't do this to me..."

Her voice gradually became hoarse, but still no one responded. She shouted for help, hoping someone could hear her plea. When a cold response came from the other side of the door, she almost saw a glimmer of hope.

"Open the door!" She pressed herself against the door and begged, but silence returned to the outside. No matter how she emphasized her identity, the people outside remained indifferent.

Finally, Baili Yue shrank into a corner helplessly, her eyes were red and swollen, and her throat became hoarse from crying for a long time. She knew that the people outside would not let her leave easily, and she could only face this unknown fate alone.

As night fell, it was time for dinner. There were light footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the lock being opened. A maid came in with a plate of carefully prepared food.

"Princess, your dinner." The maid said softly.

Baili Yue only glanced at it indifferently, then looked away, neither at the maid nor at the food on the table. Her mind was full of confusion, and she had no appetite at all.

"If these are not to the princess' taste, I can have someone prepare them again." The maid suggested cautiously.

Baili Yue snorted coldly and did not answer. Even if she starved to death, she did not want to eat the food here. Her brother's betrayal was like a sharp blade piercing her heart, and the pain was almost unbearable for her.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, reminding her that she had not eaten for a day. Her stomach rumbled unconsciously, but she held her abdomen tightly, trying to suppress this disobedient body reaction. The maid smiled slightly after hearing this, which made Baili Yue feel even more angry and ashamed. She tried hard not to let the tears flow down.

"Take the food away! I'm not hungry and I will never eat your food!" She turned her head away, trying not to look at the food.

The maid prepared the tableware slowly and calmly: "Princess, why do you have to embarrass yourself like this?"

"Get out!" Baili Yue said coldly.

"Princess, please enjoy your meal. I'll take my leave now." The maid said and left the room, closing the door gently.

Baili Yue curled up in a corner. Although her stomach ached slightly from hunger, she couldn't help but glance at the untouched food on the table. Not eating their food seemed to be the only dignity she could uphold.

As time went by, the food gradually cooled down. After a while, the maid came in to clean the table again and found that the princess had not touched her chopsticks.

"Princess, doing this will only hurt your body." The maid shook her head and said with some regret.

Baili Yue remained silent and didn't want to talk to the maid. When the maid finished packing and left, she glanced at Baili Yue curled up in the corner, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

The door closed, leaving Baili Yue alone to face the silence and inner struggle.

A disobedient person will change after a meal. When the stomach growls, he will naturally think about eating.

After the maid left, the room returned to silence. Baili Yue felt a cramp in her stomach, which made her face pale and she clenched her fists tightly. She shed tears of grievance.

Even if the people in the palace found out that she was missing, they couldn't find her here. No one knew she was here, so who could save her...

……

"Sir, the carriage we were following stopped in front of an inn, and the woman entered the inn and never came out again." The black-clad guard reported.

Rong Mingxuan raised his head: "Which inn?"

"Ruyue Inn." The black-clad guard answered truthfully. Although they didn't know why the master was tracking down this woman, the subordinates would not ask too much.

"Strangely, this inn doesn't seem to be an ordinary hotel. I monitored it for a whole day and hardly saw anyone coming in or out."

It is indeed puzzling that no one visits the place where business is done.
