Even though Yuan Xin was still a little skeptical of her medical skills, at least it was worth a shot.

As a person who had been living in the shadow of low self-esteem for so long, she was willing to hold onto the faintest glimmer of hope—even if it might end up being snuffed out.

However, since Lu Liangwei had promised to heal her face, she would definitely keep her word.

Although she had only said it to get out of her predicament, she would not betray her trust.

She could tell that Yuan Xin was not an evil person.

With that being the case, she would keep her promise.

While Lu Liangwei was lounging comfortably in the room allocated to her by Yuan Xin, the guest quarters was in an uproar.

Long Chi had just gotten back from an outing with Prince Rui, and the first thing he did after returning to the guest quarters was to check on Lu Liangwei.

During this period, he had developed the habit of checking if Lu Liangwei was still in her room every time he returned from outside.

This time was no exception.

He had brought Liu Fu on his trip today and left Jiang Chong behind.

At this moment, Jiang Chong was standing guard outside Lu Liangwei’s room.

“Did she cause any trouble?” asked Long Chi casually.

“No,” answered Jiang Chong. Lu Liangwei’s pressure point had been sealed, and she had not spoken in a long time because of her tongue injury. How could she possibly cause any trouble in such a condition?

As Jiang Chong thought airily to himself, Long Chi pushed open the door and entered the room. Jiang Chong then turned to Liu Fu to ask him about their outing.

The next moment, however, he saw his master storm out in a rage.

Jiang Chong froze. “Master?”

Long Chi’s face was livid. “Is this how you do your job? She’s already escaped, and you didn’t even notice a single thing!”

Shocked, Jiang Chong immediately dashed into the room.

The blanket on the bed had been thrown to the side, revealing the two pillows underneath.

In an instant, he understood the situation, and his face clouded over.

Lu Liangwei, that cunning little fox!

Although her sealed pressure point had rendered her immobile, he would crack open the door every once in a while and look inside to check if she was still in bed.

Every time he checked, there would always be an unmistakable bulge under the blanket, which led him to think that Lu Liangwei was still lying in bed. He did not have the slightest suspicion that she had already escaped.

After all, her pressure point was still sealed. There was no way she could unseal it without Liu Fu’s help.

As long as it was sealed, Lu Liangwei could not possibly move an inch.

Right now, however, she had indeed disappeared.

Long Chi and Liu Fu walked back into the room.

Too ashamed to defend himself, Jiang Chong dropped onto one knee before Long Chi. “I’ve failed you, Master. Please punish me!”

Long Chi was so furious that he felt like tearing Jiang Chong to pieces.

However, when he recalled how he had once fallen for Lu Liangwei’s tricks and allowed her to escape from right under his nose, he decided not to put the entire blame on Jiang Chong.

It was Lu Liangwei’s fault for being so cunning.

“It’s not your fault. You may rise.”

Relieved, Jiang Chong quickly stood up and asked in confusion, “How did Lu Liangwei unseal her pressure point?”

Long Chi looked at Liu Fu. “Are you sure you sealed her pressure point at that time?”

Liu Fu nodded firmly. “Yes.” Sealing pressure points was a piece of cake for him.

He had undoubtedly struck Lu Liangwei’s pressure point.

However, she had undoubtedly vanished, too.

“Did someone rescue her?” He hesitated briefly before wondering out loud.

“There’s no way she could have escaped on her own with her pressure point sealed. Someone must have sneaked in and rescued her while Jiang Chong wasn’t looking.” Long Chi furrowed his brow, his face contorted.

Never did he imagine that Lu Liangwei would still be able to escape despite being heavily guarded.
