Chapter 326 Wake Up
Olina felt the chill disappear.
The sense of touch that she had lost returned to her mind.
She felt someone turning her over, and then something soft brushed her body little by little, a little numb, but not uncomfortable.
This half-awake state lasted for an unknown period of time.
Until she suddenly opened her eyes.
The scene in front of her did not look like a prison cell. At least Olina had never seen such a neat and bright prison cell. Above her head was a floor made of vertical and horizontal purlins, and beside her were brick walls. A small window could be seen not far away.
She tried to move her hands and feet. Although her limbs were sore, they were not restrained by chains, and... the touch was a little strange.
The dragon girl stretched one hand out of the quilt, only to find that she was wrapped tightly in bandages, and there were circles of fine yarn wrapped everywhere from the wrist. Through them, Olina could smell a pungent smell of medicine.
The interrupted memory was completely connected at this point.
Xia Fan not only did not abandon her in the wild, but treated her injuries instead?
At the moment when she was drugged, she even had the illusion that she was about to return to the prison.
But now... she was not only alive, but her body had basically returned to normal.
This contrast made Olina a little dazed.
No... that's not right.
She was the ambassador of the Saint Wing Islands, and he must have a purpose for doing this. Xia Fan intended to make a seemingly friendly move to obtain intelligence and information, and then abandon her after draining her value.
She didn't put on handcuffs because she couldn't escape from this room at all. The small window was either sealed with iron bars or there must be guards watching. As long as she showed her head...
Olina forced herself to get out of bed despite her weakness and walked to the window. She took a deep breath, picked out the window bolt, and pushed it gently-
A chill suddenly rushed in, making her shiver.
There were no railings or guards-what she saw was a white snow scene.
On the walls, on the treetops, on the eaves, on the pavilions... all the protruding places were covered with white snow. The two colors spread evenly along the field of vision, reminding her of butter spread on a slice of bread.
In a farther place, Olina saw a city - she seemed to be halfway up the mountain, and she could see a corner of the city over the reddish-brown wall. It is located on the edge of the sea, and its scale is far less majestic than Shangyuan. Most of the houses are one- or two-story wooden flat-roofed houses. Under the heavy snow, they seem to be covered with a layer of silver-white fur coat.
Where is this place...?
There is no doubt that she should still be in the territory of Qi. The wanted order of the Privy Council must have been distributed to various regions. Xia Fan put himself in such a public occasion. Isn't he afraid that the Privy Council will come to his door?
Forget it, there is no use thinking about these.
Olina estimated the distance between herself and the ground - she was on the second floor, and she shouldn't break her legs if she jumped down. Since the other party was careless and didn't arrange guards, don't blame her for leaving without saying goodbye.
The dragon girl stood on tiptoe and climbed onto the windowsill. Before she could jump, she heard a rumbling sound in her stomach. Then a strong dizziness rushed to her head, causing her to lose control of her body balance. After struggling and swaying for a few times, she fell back into the house.
No way... I haven't eaten for too long, and I don't even have the energy left for this little move.
Could it be that Xia Fan had already calculated this?
What a despicable Central Plains person!
The strange sound alarmed the guard outside, and the door opened, and a woman dressed as a servant walked in, "Ah, you're awake? I'll go and inform the adults..."
Run, can't run away. Olena thought with some annoyance, and maybe he would laugh at her. She bit her lips and crawled to the bed with all her strength - she couldn't let him see her embarrassed appearance on the ground. Going back to the bed and pretending that nothing happened was the last dignity she could maintain.
About a quarter of an hour later, Olina Okan saw the cunning and hateful man again.
And the big bowl of meat soup that was brought in with him.
Her saliva could not be suppressed.
Xia Fan pushed a low table to the bedside, signaled the servant to put down the meat soup, and then found a place to sit at the end of the bed, "This is the eleventh day of your coma. You must be starving, right? Eat... This pork bone soup was just made by the kitchen."
Eleven days - had she been in a coma for so long?
Olina opened the lid of the bowl, and the originally fresh and fragrant taste suddenly increased several times. She looked at Xia Fan hesitantly, but finally threw away the idea that "there might be drugs in the soup". When the first spoonful of thick soup and the cooked meat were stuffed into her mouth, the noble etiquette and dining norms that she had learned in the past also disappeared.
The whole bowl was quickly eaten clean.
Even the thick bones were chewed and swallowed.
Olina licked her lips with satisfaction... I have to say that the dishes here are quite salty and delicious.
"How do you feel? You shouldn't feel unwell, right?" Xia Fan asked.
Here it comes! The first round of probing with pretended concern!
The dragon girl perked up and asked cautiously, "Thank you for your concern, I feel everything is fine now."
"That's good, when are you going to leave?"
But the other party's next question made her stunned.
"...Leave?"
"What else?" Xia Fan replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "The agreement is that we will flee separately after leaving the city. Bringing you back to Jinxia City for treatment is already a matter of course. You don't want to eat and drink here for free, do you?"
How can this be! She is not that kind of shameless person-Olina reached out to touch her arms, but soon froze in mid-air. She escaped from the prison in Shangyuan City, and there was nothing valuable on her.
However, the other party did not stop, "Also, where are you going to take a boat back to Xiji? There is no sea ship to Jinxia to go there. Do you have any idea about the travel expenses?"
"I..."
"Forget it, I'll take it as a loss and subsidize your travel expenses." Xia Fan sighed, "You don't have to pay it back, just stay in Xiji."
"Stay well..."
Olina suddenly realized a serious problem.
Can she really go back?
Becoming a foreign minister and making great contributions is the premise for retaining the family name. The generous treatment of the foreign minister is the guarantee for her and her brother to have no worries about food and clothing, but this premise no longer exists.
This means that even if she returns to her hometown, the family territory, castle and industry have nothing to do with her. She even has to find a job to avoid starving herself. As for her brother's studies, they must be terminated halfway - the high tuition fees in Salerni are definitely not affordable for ordinary people.
The dragon girl was confused for a while.
When she fell into the hands of the Privy Council, she had no intention of considering any issues other than getting out. Until now, when the other party took the initiative to mention it, she realized that her previous goal seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, and there was no possibility of reaching it again.
