Watching Shangguan Yue's departing figure, Lingxue slowly lowered her eyes, concealing all her emotions beneath her eyelids.
Lingying walked for a while and realized that Xue'er hadn't followed, so she asked softly, "Xue'er?"
"Um?"
Lingxue suddenly looked up and realized that the distance between her and Lingying had increased by several steps.
She snapped out of her daze and quickly caught up, asking, "What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"
Lingying reached out and straightened Lingxue's collar, then smoothed the stray hairs behind her ear.
"I wasn't thinking about anything, I just felt that my aunt looked much better these past few days, and that made me happy."
Lingxue smiled, took Lingying's arm, and walked together towards the palace exit.

Despite the sudden change in environment, Mo Shisheng wasn't sleepy at all.
Mu Qingcheng directly gave up her usual bedroom, and Mo Shisheng was in her room, dressed in pink and tender colors, filled with the faint fragrance of rouge and powder.
It's clear that Mu Qingcheng loves beauty; her room is filled with shoes and clothes, all brightly colored and stylish.
In this room, the only thing Mo Shisheng liked was this windowsill. She was sitting on the windowsill at the moment, looking down at the vast expanse of white.
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door from the outside. Mu Qingcheng asked softly, "Jiu, are you asleep? If you're not asleep, I'll come in."
"..."
Just as Mo Shisheng was about to speak, the door was opened.
Mu Qingcheng peeked in first, glanced around, and then met Mo Shisheng's indifferent eyes.
She gave an awkward laugh. "Hehe, I thought you'd let me in, so to avoid you having to say anything, I just came in by myself!"
Mo Shisheng: "..."
That makes perfect sense, and she was powerless to refute it.
"Jiu, aren't you cold sitting on the windowsill?"
Mu Qingcheng carried the lunchbox and gently placed it on the table. There was a vegetable dish, a fish, and a soup, all piping hot. It was still steaming when she took it out and placed it on the table. "Come and eat. You've drunk so much today, but I haven't seen you eat anything."
Upon seeing this scene, Mo Shisheng's gaze became somewhat dazed, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. The scene before her was too heartwarming, something she had never experienced before.
As warmth gradually enveloped her heart, Mo Shisheng suddenly thought of the time she spent at the Shangguan Mansion.
At that time, she didn't have many things on her mind. At most, she just wanted to live well in the Shangguan Mansion, become strong, and become someone that no one could bully.
But who knew that so many things happened later that made her thoughts drift further and further away from Lian Chu's original path, to the point that she can never go back to it now.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for? It's so cold outside. Come close the window and come in to eat something."
After Mu Qingcheng put down the bowls and chopsticks, she looked up at Mo Shisheng and found her staring blankly at the things on the table, not moving an inch.
Mo Shisheng's lips, hidden beneath her mask, curved slightly. "I'm not hungry."
Do you think I'd believe that?
Mu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at her without any politeness, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, exclaiming in surprise, "You're so thin! No way, you have to eat two bowls of rice tonight!"
Then, Mu Qingcheng pulled her along and led Mo Shisheng to the table without waiting for a reply. She served her a bowl of rice and handed it to her, saying, "Eat quickly, this is mine. You have to eat two bowls. I'll watch you eat!"
