Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 174 What's Wrong with Taking Off Clothes?

Xie Huaian left, but Xie Yun couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night.

She was not afraid of death, nor did she have high hopes for Yin Ji, hoping that she could survive if the Xie family escaped.

She just felt suffocated. She thought that she was in a difficult situation when she was forced to escape from the palace, but she didn't expect that the malice was far more than that. Not only did she have no way out, but her family was also...

Did she do something wrong when she attacked the King of Qi?

She had thought about it countless times over the years. If she had swallowed that breath and accepted her fate, and had not dethroned the son most favoured by the late emperor, would the Xie family not have fallen to this point?

When the Xie family was defeated, it was not only Yin Ji who felt strange. As a daughter of the Xie family, she naturally felt the unparalleled pressure. That was definitely not the power of one family, even the royal family.

It was a huge conspiracy.

The scene of Xie's family being confiscated and imprisoned flashed through her mind. Xie Yun clenched her palms tightly. During the years of imprisonment, her family never complained, but suspicion was a seed buried in her heart, and it would take root sooner or later. Whether Xie Yun was willing or not, she had already taken on this debt.

So, no matter what the final result would be, she had to do it.

It was a pity that she seemed not only unable to leave the palace, but she might not even see her family...

She tossed and turned, perhaps because of insomnia, her head also ached, and the pain was getting worse and worse. She raised her hand to rub the top of her head, and when she touched the hideous scar, she realized that it was not her head that was hurting, but this scar that was hurting.

The scar she had caused herself had not healed for so many years.

She was so painful that her breathing stagnated, and she could only lift the quilt to cover her head, as if this would relieve it.

But the heat came before the relief. Xie Yun's forehead was wet with sweat. She had to lift the quilt to breathe, but in an instant, a thunderbolt suddenly streaked across the sky, and even the ground was shaken.

Xie Yun's body suddenly stiffened, and it took a long time for her to regain consciousness. She slowly turned her head to look out the window. The night was dark, and only heavy rain was pouring down. The sound of continuous raindrops seemed to be approaching footsteps.

She felt numb all over, and slowly covered herself with the quilt that had just been pulled down.

However, a force suddenly came up, pulling her quilt down little by little.

Xie Yun grabbed the corner of the quilt fiercely, her eyes widened with fear. Was she having a nightmare? Why was there something pulling her quilt? Who, who is it?

No, don't pull...

Her fingers were almost deformed from exerting so much force, but she couldn't resist the other person's strength at all. Seeing the quilt being pulled down little by little, the sound of thunder and rain outside the window became clear and terrifying. She closed her eyes and suddenly let go, but in the next moment she raised her arm and planned to bite herself.

She must be having a nightmare, and she would wake up as long as she felt the pain...

"Xie Yun?"

Yin Ji's voice suddenly sounded, and Xie Yun froze. She didn't dare to look up, but she couldn't bite down, just maintaining that posture, as if she had turned into a jade sculpture.
