The streets were exceptionally lively, and even though Mo Shisheng was sitting inside the carriage, she could hear the vendors' shouts outside.
Today is sunny after the snowfall, with the sun shining brightly overhead. The accumulated snow has begun to melt, dripping down in a steady stream.
"The weather is so nice today, Ah Sheng, wouldn't you like to go for a walk?"
Ming Beiya turned his head and looked at the little girl beside him who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed.
The carriage was well-lit, and the light fell on her fair, jade-like face, revealing the fine downy hairs that looked as delicate as if they could be broken with a touch.
"..."
Mo Shisheng remained silent, seemingly asleep, but Ming Beiya knew that she was not asleep at all, and had even heard everything he had just said clearly.
"Such a scene is unheard of in the palace. Aren't you curious, Ah Sheng?"
Ming Beiya didn't give up trying to persuade Mo Shisheng, continuing to whisper in her ear how lively and fun the street was. However, Mo Shisheng still pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed and had no intention of paying attention to him.

Inside the palace.
Because of Xiu's request, Xie postponed his return to the Divine Realm until today.
But upon waking up in the morning, she learned that the Luanfeng Palace was on fire, and the princess's life was in danger.
Xiu instantly snapped out of his daze and was about to rush out of the room when Xie grabbed him and pulled him back. "What are you going to do?"
"These ignorant fools actually dared to lay a hand on their master!"
Xiu's face was gloomy, and the sinister look in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Now that the young prince is by her side, it's impossible for anything to happen."
Xie naturally knew that there were always fools who wanted to cause trouble for Sheng Sheng, but these matters were none of their concern. With Ming Beiya around, Mo Shisheng would not make any mistakes.
"Can……"
"It's time to go."
Xie glanced at Xiu indifferently, "You keep delaying. We must return to the Divine Realm today, no matter what."
"good……"
Hearing Xie's tone leave no room for negotiation, Xiu sighed softly, "As long as you return to the Divine Realm today, is that enough?"
What else do you want to do?
Almost instantly, Xie understood Xiu's unspoken meaning and immediately asked.
"I want to go back to the Shangguan residence for a visit."
Xiu didn't know if he would have another chance to come to the human realm after this, since the human realm was not a place where they could stay for long.
He insisted on coming to the human realm because he refused to listen to advice and wanted to find out where Mo Shisheng was. However, he didn't realize that he had fallen into a trap set by humans.
Severely injured, he could only transform into his original form, resembling a rabbit. Little did he expect that this would lead him to Mo Shisheng's side by chance.
At the time, he was unsure of Mo Shisheng's identity, or perhaps he was certain but dared not acknowledge her.
It wasn't until Mo Shisheng suggested returning to the Divine Realm that he finally lowered his guard and was willing to believe her.
"Back to the Shangguan residence?"
This request was unexpected by Xie, and he frowned slightly. "What are you going there for?"
"I'd like to go take a look; it shouldn't take too long."
Xiu's rare gentle tone surprised Xie.
However, this request was not excessive and would not take up too much time. After thinking about it, Xie nodded in agreement and got up with Xiu to start their journey to the Shangguan Mansion in Qi State.
The Southern Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom are the closest places to each other. When they arrived at the border between the two countries, Xie and Xiu were deeply impressed.
His gaze involuntarily drifted towards Mount Chu, the very place where Mo Shisheng had led the Qi Kingdom's soldiers to their final resting place.
