She suddenly couldn't figure out what the girl in front of her was thinking. Li Ji tentatively asked, a hint of suspicion on her alluring face, "Do you hate your master?"
"Um."
Mo Shisheng knew that the only person who could be addressed as "Master" here was Ming Qiancheng, even though she didn't know his name yet.
"How is that possible!"
Li Ji's expression changed, her eyes flashing with a sharp edge. "You're lying to me! Every woman who appears in Chenghuan Palace wants to gain the master's favor and then receive honors that others cannot obtain!"
"Li Ji".
Mo Shisheng suddenly called out Li Ji's name, and the latter was slightly taken aback, "How do you know my name?"
Mo Shisheng did not answer Li Ji's question, but instead looked weary. "Come and lift my blanket, and you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not."
Mo Shisheng understood Ming Qiancheng's thoughts all too well. He just wanted to use Li Ji to torment her because she had displeased him, without actually killing her.
But was Mo Shisheng a pushover? She could tell at a glance that although Li Ji was arrogant and domineering, with a haughty look, she rarely hid her inner thoughts. It was clear that she was a woman without deep thoughts.
Li Ji harbored doubts, but still slowly walked towards Mo Shisheng. A hand with scarlet nails lifted the blanket covering Mo Shisheng, and was shocked by the scene before her.
Beneath the girl was a patch of blood that hadn't dried yet, a glaring red, the color Li Ji loved most. But now, it was all blood, and even Li Ji couldn't help but frown.
She had just noticed that Mo Shisheng's face was too pale. She thought it was because Ming Qiancheng had been too rough with her in bed, but who knew that her paleness was actually due to excessive blood loss.
Mo Shisheng's dress was unbuttoned down to her shoulders, leaving her only in a white undergarment, and the scars on her left arm were shocking.
The girl, however, gave a nonchalant smile. "Now, can you believe me?"
How are you going to support us?
Li Ji had never seen a girl who could smile despite being so badly injured and bleeding so much. Yet, her smile was understated, clean, and pure, making her stunningly beautiful.
It was only then that Li Ji noticed the blood-red beauty mark under the corner of her eye.
This girl is truly stunningly beautiful. If she were to compete with me for his affections, what are my chances of winning?
Deep down, Li Ji couldn't help but start comparing them, even calculating her chances of winning if the two were to compete for the emperor's favor.
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, guessing what Li Ji was thinking, and said coldly, "Li Ji, I wish I could kill him."
These were the truths in Mo Shisheng's heart. Ming Qiancheng's actions had crossed her bottom line. If this were the 25th century, Ming Qiancheng would have died hundreds or thousands of times over!
"..."
Li Ji was shocked, her eyes widening slightly, but she held back from speaking. Her gaze fell on the ointment placed to the side, and she frowned, asking, "Is this for your wounds?"
"Um, could you please turn me over so I can apply the 'medicine'?"
Mo Shisheng spoke calmly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Ji remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing. In the end, she turned Mo Shisheng over and reached out to untie the bodice on her body.
Catching a glimpse of white out of the corner of her eye, Mo Shisheng said softly, "Your chest is so white too."
Li Ji: "..."
