Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884: Madly in Love with You 3
Too weak, couldn’t even break a spoon.
The Empress of the Great Xia Kingdom, when has she been so suffocated!
After a few more strikes, it finally broke.
Then she swept all the delicacies off the table, smashing them onto the ground.
Xia Weibao quickly picked up several pieces and hid them under her pillow.
The young maid rushed in when she heard the noise, startled by the mess in the room.
She hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you hurt?"
Xia Weibao looked on expressionlessly, her demeanor indifferent like a puppet.
Knowing she was in a bad mood due to her captivity, the young maid asked no more questions. After ensuring she was not hurt, she silently proceeded to clean up the mess.
The young maid held a broom, meticulously sweeping the floor.
Xia Weibao sat by the bed, watching the maid with her back turned to her.
The young maid seemed completely unaware of any threat from her.
She retrieved the broken spoon piece from under the blanket, stood up, and used all her strength to stab it towards the maid’s back.
At the moment she acted, the seemingly gentle and harmless maid suddenly sensed danger behind her, abruptly exuding a strong killing intent!
As she swiftly turned around, she saw Xia Weibao holding the broken porcelain piece, poised to strike, looking at her expressionlessly.
Caught in the act, Xia Weibao’s face remained unchanged, as if not surprised at all.
But inside, a wave of despair surged.
Indeed, Long Xuanye’s method of guarding her wouldn’t be with a simple innocent little rabbit.
Even the maid was a top-notch assassin!
The young maid paused for two seconds, naturally reached out, and took the broken porcelain piece from Xia Weibao’s hand.
"Miss, porcelain pieces can cut your hands, better not to handle them carelessly."
After speaking, the killing intent receded, and she continued tidying up.
After cleaning the room thoroughly, the maid left, soon returning with a dining cart to set up all the dishes.
This time, ten different cuisines were swapped.
"Miss, please have your dinner." Then she withdrew.
Half an hour later, she returned to find the table untouched, and Xia Weibao had already lain down on the bed asleep.
The young maid frowned slightly, quietly collected all the dishes and tidied the table.
Downstairs in the living room, Long Xuanye observed her pushing the food cart out, his eyes darkening, "She didn’t eat?"
"Correct."
"Deliver a late-night meal to her every hour."
Long Xuanye’s expression was as cold as water, staring at the door of the master bedroom on the third floor, what, planning to protest by starving.
The next day, Long Xuanye still did not appear, for reasons unknown.
Xia Weibao moved about the room, taking a few steps, needing to rest, stopping and starting, gasping for breath.
Already weakened by poison, she hadn’t eaten all day, now her hunger made her front stick to her back.
She feebly approached the window, the view outside was beautiful, a small river, flanked by weeping willows, and a vast field of lush green grass.
A small arch bridge spanned the river, resonating with the essence of Jiangnan Water Town.
After observing the surroundings, she deduced it was a quaint garden.
Xia Weibao pressed both hands against the window, attempting to climb out.
Just, she couldn’t summon any strength.
After a day without food, her head spun slightly, she returned to bed to lie down.
The maid brought meals again, without lifting her head, she removed them untouched once more.
Until evening, she hadn’t consumed a drop of water.
Her hunger blurred her vision, her face pale as paper, so frail a breeze might topple her.
The maid watched her weaken to the verge of fainting at any moment, scared, she hurried to find Long Xuanye.
