บท 1648: A Successful Plan

Jing Xi quickly put the tray of food down and followed the servant to check what was happening.

"Who fainted?" Jing Xi asked as she followed the servant to the storeroom.

"In there. I can't carry him on my own," the servant said as she pointed to a door.

Jing Xi pushed the door open and felt cold air coming from inside.

The door led to the underground wine cellar, where the temperature was much lower than outside.

Jing Xi shivered as she walked down into the cellar.

"Where is he?" Jing Xi asked as she could not find anyone in there.

The only reply she got was a metallic sound.

Wondering what the sound was, Jing Xi quickly ran back up and realized the door had been locked from the outside.

"Hey! Open the door! Hey!"

She could hear footsteps leaving. No matter how much she shouted, no one opened the door for her.
