Just as Mo Shisheng was pursing her lips and lost in thought, Qi Yufeng walked to her side and gently held her fair wrist. Mo Shisheng struggled for a moment, but found that Qi Yufeng's strength had increased.
She frowned and looked at Qi Yufeng, only to see a faint smile on his lips as he said, "Thank you, Father, for bestowing this marriage upon me."
"Haha, it seems the second son is quite satisfied with this marriage. Lord Shangguan should be able to rest assured," Qi Jingling said, his gaze falling on Shangguan Leiting as he asked a question.
"As long as Yan'er isn't wronged, that's fine."
Although Shangguan Leiting spoke politely, the light in his cloudy eyes was still one of happiness.
Mo Shisheng knew that at this moment, she couldn't say anything, and even if she did, no one might listen.
With a sigh in his heart, Qi Yufeng seemed to sense her emotions. He gently took her wrist, said goodbye to Qi Jingling, and then led Mo Shisheng out of the Zichen Palace.
As soon as she stepped out the door, Mo Shisheng forcefully pulled her hand back, deliberately creating distance between herself and Qi Yufeng.
Seeing this, Qi Yufeng merely curled the corners of his lips slightly, pointed to the open space outside the Zichen Palace, and said indifferently, "Do you know that after you were captured, it was Shangguan Xuan who knelt here for six hours begging the Emperor to save you?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng paused slightly, looking in the direction Qi Yufeng pointed, her eyes cold and clear.
She wasn't stupid; Shangguan Xuan's kindness towards her was truly from the bottom of his heart. Hearing Qi Yufeng's words, Mo Shisheng felt a strange emotion welling up inside her, but she didn't understand what that feeling was.
Slowly withdrawing her gaze, Mo Shisheng continued walking forward. Qi Yufeng, who was following behind her, chuckled and quickly caught up with Mo Shisheng, saying, "You and I are the same kind of people, but you are much more cold-blooded and freer than me."
Mo Shisheng didn't stop walking. When she heard Qi Yufeng's evaluation of her, she just smiled and said, "You and I are not the same kind of people."
In fact, Mo Shisheng found Qi Yufeng's words somewhat familiar. Upon closer reflection, she realized that Ming Qiancheng had said the same thing to her.
However, neither Ming Qiancheng nor Qi Yufeng were her type of people. If she had to find someone like her, that person would only be Ming Beiya...
When she first saw Ming Beiya, she felt that he was too similar to her. Whether it was his coldness as a disguise to protect her or his ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness with a bottom line, in short, they were similar.
Mo Shisheng walked aimlessly, not looking where he was going.
Qi Yufeng didn't stop her, but quietly followed beside her and said calmly, "Shangguan Yan, on the very day you were captured, Jialuo Academy was invaded. Although no one was injured, Jialuo Academy was destroyed."
"What are you trying to get out of me by telling me all this?" Hearing Qi Yufeng's words, Mo Shisheng suddenly stopped, tilting her head slightly as if in thought. "Could it be that the Emperor's words just now were a test, probing whether he believes the person who infiltrated Jialuo Academy is the one who captured me?"
Mo Shisheng's analysis was quite accurate. Qi Yufeng raised an eyebrow and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "You're right. So if you had answered a single word incorrectly, you would have been in a very dangerous situation."
"I'm just telling the truth."
She chuckled softly. She knew about the intrusion into Gara Academy, but she wasn't really aware of it; she was telling the truth.
