Ye Lu was certain Ye Cheng saw her, because that disdainful look made her feel blocked up inside. She was simultaneously angry and afraid, angry at them for ignoring her, and afraid of them targeting her.
She couldn't understand why, as a time traveler who was meant to be the protagonist, she ended up in such a miserable state.
She thought of Ye Qiu, perhaps someone who had experienced things like her. If not for his appearance, how could Prince Linsan have failed? The culprit was him. Wasn't he afraid she would reveal his secrets?
Ye Qiu wasn't afraid, but he disliked trouble. So before Ye Lu could take action, he sent people to capture her and locked her up together with Chen Gaoxuan of Prince Linsan.
As the defeated party, Ye Qiu did not humiliate Chen Gaoxuan, but confined him to a courtyard constantly watched by others. In that courtyard, he had land and had to manage his own food and drink. Ye Qiu stated he had no plans to support idle people.
