I just don't know why Yan'er was captured by the people of the underground royal city!
All the men in black in the suburbs that day died, even though he deliberately left one alive to commit suicide by biting poison.
The trail went cold, and Shangguan Xuan had no idea who had sent those people. Moreover, the group of men in black clearly had a purpose: they were all after Mo Shisheng.

Underground royal city.
On the third day after Mo Shisheng arrived, she was finally able to get out of bed after changing her dressing immediately. However, her left arm was completely immobile, and the wound was healing, leaving her in an extremely vulnerable state.
When Mo Shisheng stood on the ground, she was actually half a head taller than Li Ji. Li Ji's lips twitched slightly. "Why did you grow so tall for no reason?"
"Of course I can lend you my arms to lean on?"
Li Ji's personality really suited Mo Shisheng's taste; she was simple and innocent, and Mo Shisheng enjoyed chatting with her.
"If I didn't know you had someone you liked, I probably would have stayed away from you."
Upon hearing this, Li Ji looked at Mo Shisheng with disdain, but still gently took Mo Shisheng's right hand so that she could use less force.
This action naturally did not escape Mo Shisheng's eyes. She smiled slightly. Actually, Li Ji was a good person in every way, except that she was a little blind to like a scumbag like Ming Qiancheng.
Li Ji led Mo Shisheng to a pavilion by a lotus pond and they sat down. Mo Shisheng was not used to being served, so she returned the maid that Li Ji had given her that day.
Li Ji didn't mind this at all. Anyway, she was bored every day, so she might as well come over to change Mo Shisheng's "medicine" and chat for a while to pass the time.
It's already mid-July, and the weather is unbearably hot. The cicadas in the trees are chirping incessantly.
The lotus flowers and lotus pods in the lotus pond were in excellent condition. Looking at the fresh lotus pods, Mo Shisheng couldn't help but lick her lips.
Unable to resist any longer, Mo Shisheng wanted Li Ji to pick some for her, but when she realized that the lotus pods were a bit far from the pavilion, she gave up the idea.
Suddenly, a maid from Li Ji's palace came over and whispered something in Li Ji's ear. Li Ji frowned and pushed the maid away a few steps, saying, "If you see me with her in the future, you don't need to whisper to me."
Mo Shisheng hadn't expected that although Li Ji was carefree, she was always mindful of her feelings. Mo Shisheng chuckled and said, "It's alright, you can go ahead since you have something to do."
"They're just some trash; they caused a huge disturbance in my palace."
"The women in Ming Qiancheng's harem?" Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow, her tone playful.
"Yeah, I've been itching to take action, so I'll use them as live targets. They're really trying to climb the roof and tear the tiles off the house, thinking I, Li Ji, am someone to be trifled with?" Li Ji scoffed dismissively, "I'll deal with them and then come back to help you back."
"It's alright, you can go ahead."
Mo Shisheng chuckled, "I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
After revealing a bewitching smile, Li Ji gracefully turned and retraced her steps back the way she came.
Suddenly, only Mo Shisheng was left to warm up, so she carefully placed her right hand on the stone table and stood up, taking each step very lightly to avoid aggravating her wounds.
Mo Shisheng stood outside the pavilion, gazing longingly at the lotus pods in the lotus pond, but unable to pick them!
