You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Xia Lie couldn't help but size up Baili Fengzhi, who knelt before him, mulling over the thoughts in his heart. A moment passed. "Your Highness." Baili Fengzhi finally stopped. At this time, her Phoenix Eyes beneath the mask had dimmed considerably, lacking their earlier brilliance. Her complexion was also deathly pale. When she stopped, her delicate body even swayed as if she might collapse onto the ground. She looked like an ordinary person who had lost too much blood and had been up for three days and nights, appearing extremely weak and exhausted. Baili Fengzhi could only take a deep breath and forcefully muster her spirits. Then, she handed over the water bag faintly glowing in her hand to Xia Lie, and said wearily, "This is half of my Essence Blood, I beg for Your Highness's forgiveness." "Is it really half?" Xia Lie asked without taking it, his face expressionless. Actually, he had specifically researched Essence Blood the day before and knew for sure that she had indeed given up half. Essence Blood, the glowing blood-like substance in her body that had just flowed, refined the essence of heaven and earth, separated the wheat from the chaff, and dissolved into fresh blood, allowing it to condense so much Essence Blood. The amount in this water bag was certainly more than half. But he still had to ask, reluctant to show a character of casual trust. "Your Highness." Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath and solemnly said, "I can swear on my life." "Since that is the case, I will trust you this time." Xia Lie then accepted it, and immediately showed a smile, saying with concern, "Commander Baili, you should go rest aside, you are my beloved officer, don't tire yourself out. After I succeed, I will come out. In the meantime, I trouble Commander Baili to protect me. Remember, let no one disturb me." Baili Fengzhi, aware that Xia Lie was such a sensitive and fickle person, did not say anything but bowed and then stood up to walk toward the courtyard door. However, she did not sit down to rest. Despite her pale face, she stood tall and straight at the doorway. Xia Lie smiled slightly and then turned to walk into the dark, deep room. Baili Fengzhi silently watched the doorway, her thoughts complex. Actually, she still did not completely trust Prince Xia Lie and harbored some doubts, but this matter concerned her future, and she dared not gamble anymore. Moreover, most importantly, if Xia Lie were truly to be killed, as a Prince's death, it would resonate through the entire realm of Great Yong, and the murderer could not escape. Furthermore, the Imperial Family of Great Yong would soon dispatch Patrol Envoys, and if anyone dared to disguise themselves as a Prince, wouldn't that be seeking death? ... In the dim room, amid shadows unreachable by starlight, Xia Lie slowly walked to the bedside and flung aside the blood-stained quilt, revealing a young man lying on the bed. Young and gaunt, his face was somewhat ordinary, with a scar on his forehead, and resembling him exactly. It was indeed Xia Lie! This Xia Lie was bound hand and foot on the bed, his mouth stuffed with a lump of black hemp, rendering him mute, his lips still covered with residues of Bone-dissolving Powder. "Heh heh..." The Xia Lie standing by the bed looked at the Xia Lie on the bed and suddenly let out a mocking chuckle. "Prince Xiahong Lie, that was truly terrifying earlier, she was only steps away from you, had she dared to come in, I would have had to take a risk to survive, luckily my gamble paid off." He chuckled as he sat down, slicing his fingertip with a small knife, smearing it on his brow. After a while, a semi-transparent human face mask was slowly peeled off from his face, revealing a familiar, young, and handsome countenance. —He was naturally Lin Yue. Xia Lie, angry and desperate, glared at Lin Yue, attempting to struggle, but could not move at all. "Stop moving, doesn't it hurt?" Lin Yue sized up Xia Lie and said indifferently, "Your Innate Divine Power is really not bad; having fed you so much Bone-dissolving Powder, yet it hardly worked. Thankfully, I had already removed a good number of your bones and stuffed in quite a few wooden sticks, otherwise, you might have actually managed to kill me in return." No matter how fast the recovery rate, it was still necessary to be able to recover. Even if Xia Lie relied on Innate Divine Power, and his injury recovery rate was hundred to thousand times faster than normal people, bone recovery would still be quite slow. By removing the bones and stuffing something else in, the recovery could naturally be hindered. "How was my acting just now?" Lin Yue casually pressed the Blood Jade onto Xiahong Lie's blood-stained face, and with a thought, Xiahong Lie's eyes filled with terror and he wailed, but soon became stupefied. As Xiahong Lie's body visibly rapidly shifted, it soon completely transformed into Lin Yue's appearance. The initially struggling Lin Yue, trying to crawl out of the room, was also him using the Blood Jade to transform Xiahong Lie. As for the cries of "Xia Lie! How could you betray me!" and other realistic screams, it was he who 'dubbed' them in the room, while Xia Lie had yet to crawl out of the room, out of sight. After dragging the bloody 'Lin Yue' back into the room under the Barrier, he undid the Blood Jade on him, quickly transformed into Xia Lie, leading to the subsequent events. Although Baili Fengzhi was indeed cautious, harboring doubts and constantly testing him, it could still be considered a close call, but the plan was ultimately accomplished. "Your Highness, you've become as handsome as I am, isn't it thrilling?" Lin Yue looked at the other him lying on the bed and scoffed suddenly, then he no longer bothered and turned to pick up the Blood Jade placed on the table.
