Li Ji walked straight into Chenghuan Palace. She took some ointment and bandages from the table and went to Mo Shisheng's side. "I'll change your dressing."
"Indeed, appearance reflects the heart."
As she said this, Mo Shisheng raised her eyebrows slightly, her peach blossom eyes carrying a hint of wickedness, perfectly matching her exquisite and beautiful face, and exuding a unique charm.
However, Li Ji seemed to have gotten used to Mo Shisheng's occasional speechless remarks. She gave Mo Shisheng a coquettish look and said, "Lie down properly."
Mo Shisheng had a faint smile in her eyes and obediently lay on the bed without saying another word. When Li Ji lifted her blanket, she found that some blood had seeped out from her left arm again.
Li Ji frowned slightly, unwrapped the bandage, and asked coldly, "How did your left arm split open again?"
"I guess I was confused in my sleep and accidentally pulled on it when I turned over." Mo Shisheng lied through her teeth. It was clearly because she turned her face away forcefully to avoid being touched by Ming Qiancheng that the crack appeared.
However, this truth could not be told to Li Ji, and Mo Shisheng was not blind to the extent of Li Ji's affection for Ming Qiancheng.
"Can't you be more careful? Luckily, the wound didn't split open too much. If it had been any deeper, you would have lost your hand."
Li Ji's face was cold, and her tone was stiff.
Mo Shisheng smiled, noticing the damp feeling on her back, which she found quite comfortable. She asked in surprise, "Are you wiping me down?"
"I suppose you weren't feeling well because you didn't shower last night."
Li Ji didn't answer. Instead, she noticed that the bedding and cushions on the bed where Mo Shisheng was lying had all been changed. Her gaze deepened slightly. "Did Master come to change your bedding?"
"Aren't there any servants in this underground royal city?" Mo Shisheng asked, puzzled. She also noticed that the smell of blood in the air had completely dissipated, but she couldn't turn around, so she could only guess by feeling that the bedding must have been changed.
However, Li Ji directly asked if it was Ming Qiancheng who switched them, which made Mo Shisheng even more confused.
Li Ji sat on the bed, her lowered eyes gently observing the doubt on Mo Shisheng's face, and her concerns lessened a bit. "No servants in the underground royal city are qualified to enter Chenghuan Palace, and the white cushion you are lying on is made of silver fox fur. No one but the master can touch it."
If Mo Shisheng hadn't understood the meaning behind Li Ji's words before, she understood them almost immediately after Li Ji's long speech.
Liji is jealous...
Mo Shisheng sighed softly, but did not speak.
Seeing Mo Shisheng sigh, Li Ji couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why are you sighing?"
"I have someone I like, so don't worry that my presence will be a bad thing for you."
“Mo Shisheng, I am a woman too, and I can see that you don’t have those kinds of feelings for the master.”
Li Ji chuckled and continued, "But the master treats you differently. In the past, when we were sent to serve the master, we were only brought to Chenghuan Palace at night and had to leave before dawn. You are the first girl I have ever met who can stay in Chenghuan Palace...
It seemed that Li Ji thought Mo Shisheng was a woman, but she could tell that although her face had a hint of allure, her eyes were pure and innocent, and she was a girl who had never experienced the ways of the world.
"My existence is of no use to him."
Mo Shisheng scoffed. Li Ji's guess was not unreasonable, but Ming Qiancheng's special treatment of her was probably entirely due to her relationship with Ming Beiya.
