Situ Xue pointed at the palace servant who had given the orders, then tremblingly stayed behind, kneeling on the ground, "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"
"Tonight, let the side hall be flooded."
Situ Xue leaned against the bed, gently playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, her tone relaxed, as if she were just saying that the weather was nice today.
"..."
Upon hearing Situ Xue's order, the palace servant's face turned deathly pale. "Your Highness, this servant..."
"Um?"
Before the palace servant could finish speaking, Situ Xue uttered a cold question from the tip of her nose, her voice rising at the end, full of threat.
"This servant obeys... Your Majesty, please rest assured..."
The palace servants were all too aware of what Situ Xue's threat meant, thinking of Mo Shisheng's delicate face and the fact that she had just helped them.
But all of this seemed insignificant in the face of the lives of the palace servants' loved ones…
The palace maid had no choice but to obey Situ Xue's orders. She waited until evening before going to the side hall, during which time Mo Shisheng was still fast asleep in bed.
The palace servants added a lot of silver charcoal to the brazier, and then placed some more silver charcoal around the edge of the brazier before leaving.
As the door closed, the small figure lying on the bed suddenly stirred...
At night, the side hall caught fire. The fire was raging, and gray smoke rose continuously to the horizon. The fire was terrifying... It burned all night long.

The next day.
On the street.
Mo Shisheng glanced at Ming Beiya with a cold expression, "Is this how you act as a master?"
"This is called a balance between work and rest."
"Work-life balance my foot! I don't need you to bring me out here." Mo Shisheng's expression was slightly cold. She had just returned to Wangyou Palace that night and was about to go to sleep when Ming Beiya dragged her out of bed and took her to a carriage and out of the palace.
"Oh? Then it was the princess who brought me."
"..."
"The palace is too dirty, so I brought you out to relax."
Ming Beiya chuckled, pulled Mo Shisheng into his arms, and affectionately patted the little girl's head.
Mo Shisheng glared fiercely at Ming Beiya, her brows twitching slightly, and said coldly, "Let go of your big pig's trotters, this princess can sit by herself."
Mo Shisheng tried to push Ming Beiya away to create distance between them, but Ming Beiya used even more force, making it impossible for Mo Shisheng to move.
"Do you want to die? Let go of this princess."
"I am the princess's teacher, and I should cherish our relationship even more. It pains me that the princess wants to distance herself from me." Ming Beiya showed a wronged face, pouted her thin lips, frowned slightly, and her voice trembled slightly, just like a little wife who had suffered a great injustice.
"Develop feelings? Do you want to die?"
Mo Shisheng's cold face remained expressionless, and she showed no emotion whatsoever when she saw Ming Beiya's aggrieved expression.
Still feeling wronged?
He has absolutely no manliness!
What a waste of such a pretty face!
Mo Shisheng coldly complained to herself.
(Official commentary; the commentary without any emojis is even more lethal!)
"I'm just worried that Asheng will get cold. Men and women should be close. I'm warm, so we should keep each other warm." Ignoring Mo Shisheng's harsh words, Ming Beiya's lips curled slightly.
"To be torn apart by five horses is too lenient for you." He knew that Ming Beiya's shamelessness was like a barrier, and that talking to him was just a waste of breath.
Seeing Ming Beiya's shamelessness, Mo Shisheng simply closed her eyes and ignored him.
