The dry well was like a giant beast with its mouth open, its dark hole waiting to devour her.
Gu Yunci's back hit the rough stone on the edge of the well hard, and the pain made her eyes go black.
The cold night wind blew into her prison clothes, which were as thin as cicada wings, stinging her skin.
The two expressionless waiters dragged her here like a bag of tattered cotton wool.
The iron-like hands tightly held her arm, leaving bruises on her fingers.
"Why..." She gasped, her voice hoarse and cracked, like an old bellows, "I have followed your request... Disguised as my sister and entered the palace... Why do you still want to kill me?"
She struggled to raise her head, her messy hair stuck to her pale, paper-like face, and her only pair of eyes, burning with dying and unwilling flames, stared at the slightly younger chambermaid B.
The hand of the chambermaid has already reached into his arms.
Waiter B avoided her gaze and pursed his lips. After all, he couldn't hold it back and whispered: "If you're to blame, it's because you look similar to Miss Gu, but your fate is not good. Miss Gu is the person who cares about King Rui. You are always a trouble... When you are alive."
King Rui... Gu Yunshang...
Gu Yunci made a whooshing sound in his throat. He didn't know whether he was laughing or crying.
I see.
