Qi Muxiao cautiously reached out towards the silver-white mask on Mo Shisheng's face, but stopped just before touching it.
Mo Shisheng neither dodged nor flinched, only looking at her with her eyes carrying a faint smile. Noticing that Qi Muxiao had stopped, she gently curled her lips, "Why did you stop?"
"..."
These words seemed to jolt Qi Muxiao awake. She gently lowered her raised hand and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "This princess wanted to see what you really looked like, to see if you were worthy of him... but your composure makes me feel ashamed of myself..."
Seeing Qi Muxiao's disappointed expression, and remembering that she did it for Ming Beiya, Mo Shisheng felt a pang of sadness. She pursed her lips and suppressed the strange feeling.
Actually, Qi Muxiao had wanted to take off her mask just now, and Mo Shisheng wouldn't have refused. If she wanted to see, she could. But she didn't expect Qi Muxiao to give up on her own.
Are you at ease?
Mo Shisheng smiled, glanced up at Se, and said, "It's getting late, I should go back to my residence."
"..."
Qi Muxiao remained silent. Mo Shisheng turned and left. After Mo Shisheng left, Qi Muxiao finally couldn't hold back her tears...
The Imperial Advisor was someone she had liked since she was a child, and from liking him to loving him deeply, she had always kept this burning emotion to herself.
She had used almost all her strength to say those words.
Even though Ming Beiya never gave her any response, she still loved him... To make him dislike her would be more painful than having all the bones in her body removed.

The consequence of Mo Shisheng's carefree departure and forgetting the way was...
I got 'lost' again...
Looking at the trees and buildings around her that all seemed pretty much the same, Mo Shisheng's lips twitched slightly. Would it be embarrassing for her to turn back and look for Qi Muxiao now?
After much thought, Mo Shisheng decided that she should continue to explore for a way out on her own.
"Shh..."
Suddenly, she heard the sound of leaves rustling together from a large tree overhead. She instinctively looked up, and everything went dark before her as she was pulled into a hard chest.
The familiar scent filled her nose, and Mo Shisheng's eyes and brows held a smile that she couldn't see.
Ming Beiya held the soft body in his arms. After realizing that Mo Shisheng did not resist, she was even unbelievably docile and obedient.
The man's heart softened completely, and he tightened his arms even more, wishing he could "knead" the girl into his body.
Fortunately, Mo Shisheng was relatively flexible, and Ming Beiya controlled his strength to some extent; otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if Mo Shisheng had been strangled to death.
After embracing for a long time, the man buried his face tightly in the crook of Mo Shisheng's neck, his hot breath spraying onto her skin with a ticklish sensation. Feeling a wetness, Mo Shisheng couldn't help but shrink back.
She chuckled and said, "Ming Beiya, are you a dog... hiss!"
Before Mo Shisheng could finish speaking, the man bit her fair neck, followed by a gentle lick to soothe her.
Ming Beiya's muffled voice came from beside Mo Shisheng's ear, "Asheng, this is what a dog is like."
"..."
Mo Shisheng was almost laughing in anger. She said coldly, "Get up! Don't you know where you are?"
"I don't care, I went to the Shangguan residence as soon as I arrived in the capital, only to be told that you had entered the palace." Ming Beiya said this with a hint of resentment and grievance.
