“Save me! I can give you freedom!” His voice grew weaker, barely a whisper.
I looked at the wound on his back. The originally red patch had turned a faint dark color. He was probably poisoned.
If it were just a knife wound, I might have saved him, but he was poisoned, and I wouldn’t save him. Yin Can had been poisoned last time too.
“I don’t need you to give me freedom. I’ll be free tomorrow!” I wasn’t very interested in his offer.

“If you don’t save me, you’ll regret it!” His weak voice, carrying an inherent arrogance, reached my ears.
I didn’t even raise my head, removed his hand, and walked towards the slave camp. This world doesn’t need too much compassion. That would only bring me disaster.
When I stepped into the simple slave quarters with just one bed, the palace maid I had once stabbed with a hairpin was already waiting there.
Seeing me arrive, she respectfully bowed: “Miss, the King sent me to take you to see him. The King said the six-month deadline is tomorrow, and tonight you should do what you were supposed to do six months ago!”
“Go tell your King that he’s forgotten what he once said! He said he never wanted to see me again!” My somewhat panicked voice rang out in the air.
“Miss, I am just following orders. If you have something to say, go tell the King yourself. I am only responsible for bringing you before the King!”
I glared at her fiercely, looking with disgust at this lowly servant, unleashing all my anger on her: “Get lost! Were you born to be a servant?”
” I spoke without thinking, no longer knowing what I was saying.
But, what good would scolding her do? I was still destined to meet Cang Lian.
“I understand. Let me prepare myself first. You can go out now!” After saying this, I turned my back to her and stopped talking.
As soon as she left, I jumped out the window and headed towards the grove of trees. I didn’t know what would happen when meeting Cang Lian today, and I was even more afraid that something might disrupt our six-month agreement. Since that person said he could give me freedom, I needed to prepare my way out.
