Xia Wanwan stuck her thumb in her mouth and tilted her head as she asked,
"Once I open it... he can come out... and fight me?"
She really had racked her brains over this arranged fight.
Madam Li slid onto her knees right in front of her, giving Wanwan a fright!
Madam Li pleaded, "Princess, if you can open the mechanism, you can beat Kengqiang ten times over! Please, save him!"
Li Qian narrowed her eyes slightly as she sized Xia Wanwan up.
Apart from being pretty and adorable, there really seemed to be nothing unusual about this little girl.
She could actually open the Gold-and-Jade Glazed Cup?
She probably just had a little luck woven into her fate.
Li Qian slowly set her mind at ease.
Unable to decide, Xia Wanwan looked up at Pan Chun. "Auntie Pan Chun... should I save him?"
But even if I open the mechanism, I can't save Li Kengqiang.
Those ghosts have been devouring his soul inside. There's no saving him!
Pan Chun said, "If you wish to save him, Princess, then do. But I must make this clear first: whether you can open it or not, and whether the person inside survives or not, are entirely matters of their own fate!"
"If anyone makes a fuss over this and pins the blame on the Princess, that offense shall be punishable by death!"
Once Pan Chun had finished speaking,
Attendant Li and Madam Li repeatedly kowtowed, hastily agreeing!
On the bed, the Steward was still leading the servants in a frenzy of hammering, all of them drenched in sweat as they tried to pry open the bed board!
After all that effort, it hadn't budged at all. Several servants had even been flung away by the black energy, coughing up blood.
