The fox was astonished by its discovery.
At that moment,
The first thought that flashed through my mind,
He killed her.
Once she's gone, Li Changyu will truly belong to me.
However—
I can't bring myself to do it.
After all, she was the person he loved most.
"Besides, if I do that, wouldn't I lose to you forever?"
"I want to compete with you fairly."
Bai Lingyu removed the fox claws from her neck.
I closed my eyes and silently recited a spell.
I opened my eyes again.
Two transparent, frosty glass spheres floated in mid-air, each containing a scene from a dream.
The fox stole Mi Shan's dream.
Store them carefully.
Then he turned around and jumped out of the window.
-
early morning.
Mi Shan slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously touched her neck.
I felt so tired after that sleep.
I have absolutely no recollection of what I dreamt about last night.
The glass pagoda bottle beside me rolled.
Mi Shan lowered her eyes and took the warm flame out of the quilt.
Today is the sixth day.
There are four days left until the Heart-Eating Gu takes effect.
She can't forget.
Li Changyu only wanted to use her, and she had no way out.
He gripped the glass bottle tightly in his hand, his gaze resolute.
Perhaps what she truly cherished was not him.
Rather, it was the freedom and joy I experienced when I was with him that I had never felt before.
After figuring it out, Mi Shan got up, washed up, and went to the Empress's palace to pay her respects.
When I saw Bai Lingyu, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she hadn't slept all night.
"I'm tired today, so I won't be taking you to dance practice."
He only said this one sentence from beginning to end.
After they dispersed,
They were the first to leave.
-
Sunlight poured down like water, and birds chirped and insects hummed.
Mi Shan quietly gathered her sleeves and walked along the corridor.
"It seems like it's been a long time since I visited Consort Qin's palace."
“She has been complaining of stomach pain to the Emperor every day lately. I am here with her. If I don’t go and see her, it would seem too cold and heartless.”
After Mi Shan finished speaking, she gracefully flicked her sleeve.
"Get ready, let's go to Muqing Palace."
He got off the sedan chair.
The palace servants all knelt down.
Mi Shan swayed her water sleeves, revealing her slender shoulders, which were so white they seemed to glow in the sunlight.
Enter the palace.
Then Qin Miaomiao looked at herself in the bronze mirror from left to right.
She was wearing that colorful brocade robe.
It was covered with gemstones.
"it's beautiful……"
Qin Miaomiao turned around with satisfaction, muttering to herself.
Mi Shan takes a closer look.
I was startled.
Isn't this the brocade robe that Consort Yu had secretly ordered the palace servants to make in an emergency?
Although the styles are different, the materials and appearance are basically the same.
"Where did you get these clothes?"
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me.
Qin Miaomiao was startled and quickly turned around.
Upon seeing that it was Mi who was handling the aftermath, displeasure appeared on his face.
"It's you! You scared me!"
What are you doing here?!
"I am asking you a question."
Mi Shan spoke in a cold voice, which conveyed a sense of authority.
"This dress was a gift from Consort Ru. Tomorrow night at the Spring Flower Banquet, I will wear it and dazzle everyone."
"What's wrong,
"Is there a problem?" Qin Miaomiao felt flustered under her gaze, and uncertainty flashed across her face.
Thinking back to how Mi Shan had repeatedly seemed to be able to foresee the future,
This time, he suddenly stared at her clothes without saying a word.
Could it be that something's wrong with these clothes?
However, Mi Shan didn't continue, realizing that Qin Miaomiao had inadvertently offended Consort Ru too many times before.
Now, the Empress is about to make her move.
After his gaze settled slowly, he said softly:
"Whatever you want."
Everyone has their own destiny.
She would never again interfere in the fates of unrelated people.
She will not give anyone another chance to betray her.
One look is enough to see through a heartless ingrate.
"I've come simply to inquire after your well-being. How has Consort Qin been lately?"
"Very well, no need for you to worry."
"That's fine then. I'll take my leave now. Consort Qin, please take good care of yourself during your pregnancy."
After Mi Shan finished speaking, she left.
They ran into Murong Cainu, who was on her way to visit them.
The maidservant knelt down and bowed.
As she stood up, her sleeves swayed, releasing a delicate fragrance.
Mi Shan frowned.
Cover your nose and breath.
After Murong Cai Nu passed by her and left, she said coldly:
"Can you all smell it?"
"What?"
"It's musk."
Musk!
Xun'er clicked her tongue, her eyes widening in surprise, "Is Your Highness serious?"
"This Consort Murong spends all her time with Consort Qin, and she still dares to use musk? Isn't that plotting to harm the prince?!"
"Yes, but she has a strong floral scent and only a trace of musk, which is undetectable to most people."
Mi Shan said quietly.
"What should we do then? Should I go and report to the Empress?"
"No need." A faint hint of coldness appeared on Mi Shan's lips. "One is a fool, the other a scheming woman."
"Let them kill each other."
"Even if Murong Wan doesn't intervene, Consort Qin's unborn child is destined to die."
"Let's not worry about that."
"Just sit back and watch the show."
Xun'er was puzzled.
Does Your Majesty mean...?
Besides Murong Cai Nu, is there someone else harming Qin Gui Ren?
She couldn't understand, but dared not ask any more questions, so she could only swallow her curiosity and wait and see.
-
Muqing Palace.
"Sister Qin, what's wrong? I saw Consort Mi Hui come by just now..."
"It's all because of my clothes," Qin Miaomiao said uncomfortably. "She stared at me for no reason and even asked me where I got my clothes?"
