Why?
Li Ji put away the handkerchief in her hand and began to apply the 'medicine' to Mo Shisheng. The 'medicine' ointment was cool and refreshing, and it made her skin feel itchy when she applied it.
Mo Shisheng didn't know if Li Ji was aware of Ming Qiancheng's situation, so even if she was currently acting because of Ming Beiya, Li Ji probably wouldn't recognize Ming Beiya.
Furthermore, this was merely Mo Shisheng's speculation, as she herself did not understand whether there was any real grudge between Ming Qiancheng and Ming Beiya.
Mo Shisheng considered for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, I don't understand it now either, but I will tell you when I do."
"good."
Li Ji chuckled softly, her movements gentle as she applied the medicine to Mo Shisheng. "I guess I've gotten so used to being arrogant in this underground royal city that the women in the harem are afraid of me. Over time, I haven't even found anyone I can confide in."
"They're not worth your time, and besides, any woman who shares a man with you isn't a good person."
Mo Shisheng has always been unusually persistent in her feelings. She believes that Rao Yisheng must find someone who loves her and whom she loves in return to spend her life with.
Moreover, she needs a lifelong, monogamous relationship; the idea of having multiple wives and concubines is something Mo Shisheng cannot accept.
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Li Ji raised an eyebrow slightly. "You actually have such an idea?"
"Um?"
Li Ji's sudden remark left Mo Shisheng somewhat bewildered.
“I also wish I were the only one serving my master, but I think that’s just a dream. Not only would my master find it novel, but if this idea were to spread outside, those women would probably find it delusional.”
Li Ji's alluring red lips curved slightly, and a helpless smile graced her captivating face.
Mo Shisheng was lying on the bed at the moment. Although he couldn't see the expression on Li Ji's face, he could hear the self-mockery in her slightly helpless tone.
An image of an absolutely stunningly beautiful and alluring face involuntarily surfaced in my mind: long, narrow phoenix eyes, dark and jade-like yet cold, and thin, soft lips with distinct features…
Thinking of Ming Beiya, Mo Shisheng's ears involuntarily turned a little red.
Li Ji tilted her head and glanced at Mo Shisheng's earlobe. Her body was fair and delicate, and her earlobe was usually pure white, but it was now bright red.
Your ears are so red.
"Hmm? Uh..."
Mo Shisheng subconsciously wanted to raise her hand, but fortunately Li Ji was applying medicine to her left arm and pressed it down so she couldn't move, but it still hurt her injuries.
Hearing the groan of pain escape Mo Shisheng's lips, Li Ji spoke in a tone of exasperation, "Which wild man were you thinking of?"
"He's not some random man."
Mo Shisheng smiled slightly. With Ming Beiya's stunning looks, it was really too unfair for him to be a wild man.
"So you're protecting her already? You wouldn't be thinking of your sweetheart, would you?"
Li Ji remembered that Mo Shisheng had someone she liked, so she asked again.
He stopped applying the medicine to Mo Shisheng, put the ointment away, and changed her clothes into a clean set.
My sweetheart?
Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "I guess so."
After all, she was the one who had just expressed her feelings for someone. If she were to deny it now, Li Ji would probably want to strangle her.
She didn't dislike Ming Beiya in her heart, so she went along with Li Ji's words and answered. Anyway, admitting that Ming Beiya was her sweetheart wouldn't hurt her.
