Meanwhile, the lost Mo Shisheng stood before an osmanthus tree, looking utterly dejected. She approached the tree and poked the trunk. "I've met you seven times already, why can't I still find my way out of the palace?"
"Sheng Sheng, actually..."
"Shangguan Yan?"
Xie rests during the day, occasionally coming up to appear out of nowhere, but he's most active at night. He was about to say something to Mo Shisheng when he was interrupted.
Mo Shisheng recognized Qi Yufeng's voice. She slowly turned around, and a gentle breeze blew by, carrying osmanthus petals that drifted down. The yellow and white flowers slowly fell onto her shoulder.
Qi Yufeng's breath hitched for a moment, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, but it only lasted a second before he quickly concealed it.
With the darkness of night, Mo Shisheng was completely unaware of this.
Qi Yufeng chuckled inwardly and walked up to Mo Shisheng. "Lost?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Come on, I'll see you out. The palace is so big, it's normal for you to get lost." Qi Yufeng chuckled and put his hand on Mo Shisheng's shoulder.
As a result, Mo Shisheng twisted her hand behind his back and easily grabbed Qi Yufeng's arm, pushing his hand away. "Don't touch me."
Qi Yufeng, who was pushed away, was not annoyed. He had a faint smile on his face, and his gaze was burning as he looked at the silver mask on Mo Shisheng's face. "Shangguan Yan, haven't you ever thought about taking off this mask?"
Qi Yufeng was very curious about what Mo Shisheng's face looked like under the mask. After all, she could amaze him even with a mask on, and he just couldn't believe that Mo Shisheng would be ugly.
Mo Shisheng glanced at Qi Yufeng indifferently and said softly, "Curious?"
"curious."
Qi Yufeng nodded and raised his hand to remove Mo Shisheng's mask, but Mo Shisheng noticed and slapped his hand.
The "snap" sound was exceptionally crisp.
He winced and pulled his hand back, saying, "You woman, you really don't hold back!"
"Curiosity killed the cat. I advise the Second Prince not to be curious."
Mo Shisheng turned to leave when Qi Yufeng's voice drifted from behind her, "You're going the wrong way. There's a fork in the road over there. No matter which way you go, you'll end up back where you started."
Mo Shisheng paused awkwardly, "Then why aren't you coming over to lead the way?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yufeng raised an eyebrow slightly, "You are the first person to dare to give me such an order."
"Is that so?"
Mo Shisheng replied perfunctorily, "Then I am truly honored."
"Your flattery is truly insincere," Qi Yufeng said disdainfully, then stepped in front of Mo Shisheng. "Let's go, consider this a good deed I do for you today, and I'll mercifully send you back."
laugh.
Although Mo Shisheng was extremely reluctant to admit that she was 'lost', she knew that if Qi Yufeng didn't see her out tonight, she would probably have to stay here until tomorrow morning.
As they rounded a corner, Zhuque suddenly appeared. He looked at Qi Yufeng and bowed, saying, "Second Prince, the Imperial Preceptor requests your presence."
"It's so late, what business does the Imperial Advisor have with me?" Qi Yufeng frowned slightly, a hint of doubt on his handsome face.
"There is something on my mind."
Zhuque remained silent, still maintaining her cold and aloof demeanor.
Mo Shisheng couldn't help but think to herself, "That's exactly the same ice-cold face as Ming Beiya. I bet they'll never feel hot in the summer!"
