Yu Yi closed the terminal and gently pushed Luo Ye from behind, “Walk out slowly. If this lady says stop, then stop. Don’t try to fall intentionally. If this lady notices anything unusual, the Second Prince will suffer greatly.” She placed the knife at Luo Ye’s neck, holding the cloth binding his wrists, and walked slowly to the door.
“Stop,” Yu Yi said softly.
Luo Ye immediately stopped. Yu Yi smiled silently and said, “What I’m about to say, please repeat exactly as I say, but be sure to speak loudly and… don’t change a single word.”
After hearing her, Luo Ye loudly proclaimed, “Those outside, prepare a good horse at the West Corner Gate. Extinguish all torches, everyone retreat from the courtyard, and maintain a distance of more than thirty steps from this prince. If anyone approaches within thirty steps of this prince, or if an arrow is shot, this prince will… will be in trouble.”
He gritted his teeth for the latter half and whispered, “Miss Yi, you just want to leave the mansion.”
Yu Yi said calmly, “Second Prince, take off your boots.”
Luo Ye was stunned, then remembered her previous threat. He immediately fell silent.
Yu Yi had no intention of letting him off. She coldly commanded, “Take them off.” Simultaneously, she slowly lowered the knife blade against Luo Ye’s neck.
The sharp blade pierced his skin. Luo Ye felt a sharp pain on his neck, with something flowing down. Trembling, he said, “I’ll take them off, I’ll take them off.” With the knife at his neck, he couldn’t bend down, so he awkwardly raised his foot and pulled off a boot.
He raised the thin-soled soft boot to his eyes, hesitated briefly, then closed his eyes and bit the boot.
The pampered Luo Ye had never put something so dirty in his mouth. As the boot entered his mouth, he felt an indescribable taste spread. He had worn these boots all day, visiting various places, including the bathroom at Bao Tai Shi’s residence. Due to the many mourners that day, servants hadn’t had time to clean thoroughly, and the bathroom floor had been stepped on by numerous people.
