In the sleeping hall.
Mo Shisheng picked up the teacup on the table, lifted the lid and gently placed it aside, then splashed the tea into the cup onto the unconscious Situ Xue on the bed.
Situ Xue was startled awake by the sudden chill. She shook her head from side to side and opened her eyes to see Mo Shisheng by the bedside.
Situ Xue stared in horror, her eyes wide and her mouth agape. She struggled violently, inadvertently tearing open the wound on her wrist, causing pain that sent signals to her brain.
"Ah!! Mo Shisheng, what are you doing! Please, please let me go, please..."
Tears streamed from her bloodshot eyes, and Situ Xue's face fell as her trembling sobs pierced Mo Shisheng's ears.
"Let you go? Isn't it too late now?" Mo Shisheng coldly glanced at the disheveled Situ Xue on the bed.
"From what you've mentioned before, it seems you never intended to let me go."
Mo Shisheng sat lazily on the edge of the bed, reaching out to hold Situ Xue's chin, his expression carrying a hint of nonchalant indifference.
It was a chill that seeped into her very bones. When Situ Xue met her gaze, she felt a coldness rise from the soles of her feet and shoot straight into her internal organs...
"Shangguan... no, Mo Shisheng, let me tell you, I'm not the only one who hated you to the bone!"
Situ Xue's face was deathly pale. After being tortured by Mo Shisheng, she was covered in injuries, and even her will was gradually being worn away.
"Is that so?"
Although it was a question, Mo Shisheng's tone was indifferent, as if she didn't take it to heart.
"The person who set this fire for you was named Su Xi! Don't you remember!?"
Situ Xue's pupils widened, her tone filled with resentment!
Su Xi, how could Mo Shisheng forget this person!
However, when Situ Xue mentioned Su Xi, Mo Shisheng's eyes remained completely unmoved, showing no sign of wavering.
Seeing Mo Shisheng's calm demeanor, Situ Xue's face paled even more. "Mo Shisheng! Su Xi wishes you were dead. You deserved everything that happened today!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng slightly turned her head, her gaze revealing a chilling coldness.
Situ Xue, however, disregarded everything and began to recount the past grievances between Mo Shisheng and Su Xi.

While Xie was curious about what was happening inside the palace, he gently lifted a tile. Suddenly, Mo Shisheng, who was gently wiping her dagger, raised her eyes slightly and met Xie's gaze.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, a move that left Xiu and Xie speechless. After calming down, Xie raised his hand again to lift the tile and look at the scene inside. Unexpectedly, Mo Shisheng seemed to know that he had lifted the tile, and calmly raised her eyes, saying softly, "You want to try it too?"
...
The scene abruptly stopped there, and the expressions on Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao's faces were just like those of Xiu and Xie, who were present at the time.
Jiang Yao swallowed hard, her eyes wide open, as if the scene she had just witnessed had a significant impact on her, leaving her unable to recover for a long time.
"Now you can finally rest assured about your master, right?"
Xiu had expected Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao's expressions, after all, he had witnessed it firsthand and the shock he felt was far greater than what he was seeing now.
When Mo Shisheng looked at him and Xie at that time, he actually felt a little weak in the knees. Now, looking back, Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "The master is always the master. No matter if she has turned into a little baby now, she is still Mo Shisheng who cannot be provoked!"
"I'm relieved, but Miss has lost her memory. How did the young prince stay by her side?"
