Ruan Hao was startled, and the bamboo pole fell down with it, making an even louder noise. He hurriedly pulled Gu Qingyin back and closed the hidden door in the wall.
Gu Qingyin looked at him with surprise and doubt.
Ruan Haozhi was clearly frightened; in a short time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He calmed his breathing, looked at Gu Qingyin, and suddenly said, "Disappointed?"
Gu Qingyin herself couldn't quite describe her feelings. It was as if something was weighing on her heart, and she couldn't tell whether she was more disappointed or relieved.
For a fleeting moment, she almost shouted at Shangguan Rongqin. This instinctive trust and reliance was still there; she hoped he would rescue her.
However, she felt inexplicably afraid, and the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
Upon hearing Ruan Haozhi's question, she simply stared at him and said softly, "How did you find this place?"
Ruan Haozhi had a smug look on his face, but he quickly suppressed it and said slowly, "I just want to live. When all desires are concentrated, everything becomes simple."
Gu Qingyin looked at him intently, at the man who had shared her youth. The days of her youth, the carefree days, the laughter and joy, all flowed through her fingers. But the man before her had become a complete stranger, his face cold and indifferent.
"You want Shangguan Rongqin to let you go?" she asked.
Ruan Haozhi got off the bed, walked to the door, tested the chains again, turned around, and said, "The Regent and Shangguan Rongqin are now in power. The people who used to be under the command of the Prince of Jiangling are now being dealt with by Shangguan Rongqin. What do you think he will do to me?"
She had always believed that the Prince of Jiangling's rebellion was orchestrated by Han Jinqing, who had even admitted it to her. However, she was puzzled as to why the Regent and Shangguan Rongqin now held sway over the court.
Gu Qingyin looked at Ruan Haozhi with a puzzled expression.
Enraged by her expression, Ruan Haozhi took a few steps closer and roughly pulled Gu Qingyin off the bed. Gu Qingyin tripped and almost fell.
"What? You don't believe me?" Ruan Haozhi led her to the wooden table with candlesticks on it and suddenly rolled up his sleeves.
A series of scars suddenly caught Gu Qingyin's eye, shocking in the candlelight. Some were still bright red, while others had scabbed over and turned dark brown. From her wrist to her elbow, there was hardly an inch of undamaged skin.
Gu Qingyin felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe properly.
In her mind, Ruan Haozhi had always been a refined and cultured scholar, a man who could hardly lift a finger. These wounds on him seemed so strange and distorted.
"You saw it. If I hadn't escaped, they would have beaten me to death." Ruan Haozhi's eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was cold.
Gu Qingyin's hands, gripping the edge of the table, trembled, but her voice remained calm and clear, "So, you tried every means to escape, and then found Shangguan Rongqin's wife to threaten him?"
“Qingyin, you are very smart. You can see through many things at a glance. Most men in the court are not as good as you,” Ruan Haozhi slowly straightened his sleeves. “However, there are also some things and some people who are not what you see. And you are still deceiving yourself.”
“Shangguan Rongqin has a lawfully wedded wife, did you know that? He hasn’t divorced her. If he really had, why would he continue to entangle with his ex-wife?” Ruan Haozhi said, looking at her.
“What you see is all an illusion, don’t be fooled by him,” Ruan Haozhi continued, “What a refined gentleman, gentle and jade-like, that’s just for show. Otherwise, where would all these wounds on my body come from?!”
"Qingyin, they're just playing with you. Why don't you come with me? We'll be together to the ends of the earth!" Ruan Haozhi said excitedly, holding Gu Qingyin's arm tightly.
Gu Qingyin forcefully broke free from his grip, "Ruan Haozhi, it's impossible between us now! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
She was panting, her chest heaving violently.
She had to admit that Ruan Haozhi's words had disturbed her senses, and even though she tried her best to suppress them, she was already swaying precariously.
Just then, the sound of orderly footsteps came from afar, gradually approaching.
Ruan Hao was startled, and the bamboo pole fell down with it, making an even louder noise. He hurriedly pulled Gu Qingyin back and closed the hidden door in the wall.
