She lowered her eyes, concealing her expression so that others could not see through them.
"Yeah, almost a month."
Xie said softly, "Sheng Sheng, tonight is an opportunity."
"I know."
Mo Shisheng nodded slightly, and as she stepped out of the courtyard, she severed her mental connection with Xie.
When she asked her personal maid to take her to the East Palace, the maid was surprised but nodded in agreement.
The people from the Crown Prince's Palace seemed to recognize her, and they didn't stop her at all, letting her pass directly.
Mo Shisheng naturally didn't dwell on these trivial matters any longer and headed towards Qi Muxiao's palace.
Her palace was quite far from the main hall and very secluded; it took Mo Shisheng a long time to get there.
She walked to the door and saw Peony waiting outside.
She still had some impression of the peony, after all, she often served by Qi Muxiao's side and had once said that she didn't know the rules.
Upon seeing Mo Shisheng, Shaoyao recognized her as well. With tears in her eyes, she stepped forward and pleaded, "Miss Mo, please, my lady has been locked in her palace ever since she returned last night. No matter how much I call her, she won't come out."
"What happened last night?"
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the tightly locked door.
"Last night...last night..."
Peony stammered and couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
However, Mo Shisheng's patience wasn't that good. She coldly said, "Speak."
"Last night, when I accompanied Your Highness back from Miss Mo's place, we encountered the Second Prince. He took Your Highness away and I don't know what he did to you... When we returned, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who carried Your Highness back."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face again. "Her Majesty didn't sleep all night. After His Highness the Crown Prince left, she kicked me out... and I still haven't slept until now..."
"I see."
Mo Shisheng understood the whole story and walked to the locked door. "Qi Muxiao, will you open the door yourself, or should I use a special method to get in?"
"..."
No one answered her from inside the palace, as if no one was there at all.
Mo Shisheng didn't know Nan Chen's personality, but taking Qi Muxiao away under the cover of night was definitely not a good thing.
The fact that Qi Muxiao is unwilling to open the door and see anyone now proves the seriousness of the matter.
Receiving no response for a long time, Mo Shisheng glanced at Shaoyao, who was standing beside her, and said, "Step back."
"Huh? Oh!"
Peony was taken aback at first, then quickly took several steps back.
At first, she didn't understand what Mo Shisheng was going to do, but when she saw what happened next, Shaoyao's mouth couldn't help but open wide enough to fit an egg.
A look of surprise filled her face.
Mo Shisheng lifted her foot, her movements swift and graceful, and kicked open the tightly locked door in one go, leaving the door frame still trembling violently.
"Go and guard the courtyard gate, don't let anyone near."
After leaving these words, Mo Shisheng stepped inside, exuding an imposing aura.
...
While they were talking about these things, Xie and Ming Beiya never took their eyes off Mo Shisheng.
Sure enough, when the topic of Mo Shisheng and Qi Muxiao was brought up, Mo Shisheng's hand twitched slightly, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she wasn't sleeping very soundly.
"Why has Ah Sheng been in a coma for so long...?"
Ming Beiya's words seemed to be directed at Mo Shisheng, and also at Xie, but more than anything, they were a question to himself.
He had been by Mo Shisheng's side the whole time, so he should be the one who knew best what had happened to her.
