After seeing the injuries all over Mo Shisheng's body, Li Ji finally fell silent. There was almost no part of the girl's body that was unharmed, so it was impossible for her to serve Ming Qiancheng.
The cool, icy ointment stung as it was applied to the wound, but Mo Shisheng didn't utter a sound the entire time. Her beautiful face was deathly pale.
After a while, Li Ji finished applying medicine to her wounds and turned her over. Noticing a pool of blood on the white blanket, she frowned slightly. "All done."
Mo Shisheng's lips curled slightly as his gaze fell on Li Ji's fair chest, where there were several dark red marks left by Ming Qiancheng.
Thank you.
"No need. I just hope what you're saying is true, otherwise I'll be the first to kill you."
Li Ji put away the ointment, sat gracefully on the edge of the bed, and gently adjusted her clothes. "What's your name?"
"Mo Shisheng".
She didn't hold back her name much, asking, "What's that man's name?"
"You don't even know your master's name?" Li Ji looked at Mo Shisheng suspiciously. "Just who are you?"
“Just ordinary people, taken prisoner by your master.”
Mo Shisheng chuckled, "What's his name?"
"The master's name is Ming Qiancheng. You cannot call him by his name directly in the underground royal city, or you won't even know how you died."
Ming Qiancheng? His surname is Ming, and he looks so similar to Ming Beiya... What's going on between them...?
Seemingly noticing that Mo Shisheng was distracted, Li Ji's expression turned somewhat cold. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
"good."
Upon hearing this, Li Ji gently stood up from the bedside and walked towards the door. Halfway there, she seemed to suddenly remember something. When she turned around, her face showed an unnatural expression. "I'm at Shuiyue Palace. You can call someone to tell me when you need to change your medicine."
Upon hearing Li Ji's words, Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She didn't think Li Ji was the type to meddle in other people's business, so why would she offer to help her change her "medicine"?
Seeing that Mo Shisheng did not answer, Li Ji's expression became even more unnatural. She said in a cold voice, "Don't overthink it. I'm just afraid that you'll take advantage of your injury to gain the master's sympathy!"
After finishing, Li Ji flicked her long sleeves, turned around, and left the room. Her back view was arrogant and domineering, and her red dress exuded a powerful aura.
Mo Shisheng leaned against the bed, completely lacking the strength to stand up; it would be a pipe dream. She gently connected with the evil spirit in her mind using her divine sense.
"Sheng Sheng! Do you know how worried I was? I couldn't connect with you spiritually! What happened to you?"
Xie's voice echoed in Mo Shisheng's mind, filled with deep concern, "How did you get all these injuries?"
"I was attacked in the suburbs." Mo Shisheng closed her eyes and communicated with Xie in her mind using her divine sense. "Xie, you and another person share the same surname and even look five parts alike. What could your relationship be?"
Xie was originally thinking about analyzing who gave the order to attack Mo Shisheng, but when he heard Mo Shisheng ask this question, Xie answered without hesitation, "Of course, they are related by blood."
"..."
Mo Shisheng thought the same thing, but she was deeply averse to the idea that someone like Ming Qiancheng had any connection with Ming Beiya.
However, after hearing Xie's words, Mo Shisheng realized that her thoughts were nothing but self-deception. The surname Ming was extremely rare, and besides, the two of them looked remarkably alike…
