It was King Wen who sent people to rescue her from the "fire pit" and bring her to the royal palace, so that she no longer had to worry about food and clothing, or whether she would die one day. More importantly...
She can learn whatever she wants to learn.
Having nothing, she could only quietly retract her claws and pretend to be obedient until she figured out what the hunter wanted to do, constantly trying to learn more.
Thirteen-year-old Bai Yunshu's first impression of twenty-one-year-old Mu Shisan was: a meddlesome, good-natured person who couldn't even get to the point.
Since then, Bai Yunshu has not seen Mu Shisan.
This was my second time meeting Mu Shisan.
It was during the autumn hunt in Shuntai that year.
In that year, the young emperor died, and King Wen, who was involved in politics, ascended the throne as emperor through auspicious omens and forceful measures.
However, this time she had become a concubine in the imperial harem.
At the age of fifteen, she entered the palace alone, without any support or background, yet she was granted the title of Consort Shu, relying solely on the Emperor's favor.
Therefore, it's normal that she was framed.
In the dark trap, the young general who had met him once arrived before the emperor.
The torchlight illuminated the twenty-three-year-old boy, who had completely shed his immaturity and had a resolute face, seemingly carrying the cold winds of the Northwest.
"Did you get stunned after the fall? Why aren't you saying anything?"
The wound on my leg had been treated, and I could hear the young man's slightly mocking voice.
Bai Yunshu lowered her eyes and said thank you.
The young general didn't care at all and just said to himself, "See, I told you King Wen's gaze at you was wrong back then."
Two years have passed, and I still remember this incident.
Not only is he a pushover, but he's also petty.
Bai Yunshu couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Hey, you're still not convinced?"
Bai Yunshu raised her eyes, revealing a face that was still somewhat youthful but already stunningly beautiful.
Looking up at Mu Shisan, the arrogance in his eyes was undisguised.
Perhaps the young general was not in any danger, perhaps he was genuinely frightened by being framed, or perhaps... he had been holding back his grievances for too long.
The fifteen-year-old girl revealed her sharp claws.
Why should I submit?
"Two years ago, you kindly warned me to be careful of King Wen, but you couldn't save me from his clutches. If I hadn't been on guard and had listened to you, I wouldn't have had a good ending either!"
"You're so old, don't you know the importance of power! How dare a mere maid disobey her master!"
"Yes! The Mu family used to be prosperous, and all the maids and servants envied them, but how many people could actually join the Mu family! If the Mu family can fall, what can I do!"
"All I can do is obey orders, and keep learning, learn as much as I can, to survive first, and then think about anything else!"
"I'm just not convinced! So what! I'm perfectly fine now!"
The night was getting cooler.
Mu Shisan looked at the girl who was clearly in a sorry state but suddenly became arrogant and started spouting nonsense, and raised his hand.
The little girl didn't flinch or back down; she's quite stubborn.
Finally, the hand landed on Bai Yunshu's head.
"Tsk, not only are there spider webs, but there are also spiders, look, they're green."
Bai Yunshu: ...
"Okay, are you done venting? I'll take you back now, but you can't say that again when we get back."
Mu Shisan stood up, preparing to bend down and pick her up.
Unexpectedly, the little girl took two steps back: "Give me your cloak and wait here! He'll definitely send someone to find me soon."
Mu Shisan: "You just..."
The little girl narrowed her eyes, which shone brightly: "Do you know why I'm so sure?"
Mu Shisan: "Why?"
"secret."
The little girl raised her head, revealing a hint of the spoiled nature that comes with her age.
"Fine, I'll tell you anyway."
So, on that cold night, Mu Shisan learned some secrets about the Prince Wen, who had now become the emperor.
For example, Bai Yunshu's identity, who was the person King Wen liked back then, and what was their relationship with Bai Yunshu?
"Alright, now that you know everything, you're on my side."
The little girl tightened her cloak and spoke in an ambiguous tone.
Mu Shisan: ...
It's hard not to wonder whether this little girl is clever or foolish.
So this is one faction now?
Aren't you afraid he'll expose the secret?
