Although Xiao Mo Kuang also has a mansion outside, he does not live there for long periods of time. As the person in power who secretly controls the situation of the entire country, Xiao Mo Kuang also lives in the palace.
Compared with the remote little palace where the puppet emperor Chu Ci lived, his residence seemed more luxurious and more like where an emperor should live.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he left because he had something to deal with, leaving only Chu Ci, the idle empress, to return to her own small palace.
In fact, this palace is not small, but compared with the palaces of previous emperors, it is a bit dilapidated and a bit far away from the place where emperors held court.
Not long after she returned to the palace, Feicui and Binghan also returned to the palace one after another. Xiao Mokuang did not punish them, but guarded Chu Ci's residence more closely.
Chu Ci usually had nothing to do in the palace, and at most he would read some books in the study.
When Xiao Mo finished his busy work and remembered her, it was already late.
The moonlight tonight was brighter than usual. He subconsciously asked what Chu Ci was doing. After learning that she had been in the study since she came back for dinner and had not come out yet, Xiao Mo Kuang became a little curious. He had dealt with a lot of things anyway and was not sleepy at all. He got up and went towards Chu Ci's palace.
Without notifying anyone, he walked straight in. The two maids beside Chu Ci were guarding outside the study. When they saw Xiao Mokuang, a hint of nervousness unconsciously appeared in their eyes.
Binghan subconsciously raised his foot and took half a step to the side, trying to cover the study door.
Xiao Mo curled his lips. The pressure around him made Binghan Feicui and the others lower their heads involuntarily, and an instinctive fear arose.
The light in Xiao Mokuang's eyes dimmed, and he raised his hand to push the door open.
Just walked in.
Thinking about it so casually.
Everyone knew that to him, she was just a puppet, someone who could be discarded at will. They were wary and fearful of him. Only this little girl, whom he held in his hand, had the energy to bargain with him.
When he walked into the inner room and saw the scene in front of him, Xiao Mokuang's breath was slightly held.
Chu Ci had already changed out of her coarse cloth clothes, and her hair had obviously been groomed. She was wearing a bright yellow dress embroidered with dragon patterns in a darker color. Her eyes were lowered, her gaze fixed on the book in her hand.
The girl's expressionless eyes gave people a different feeling.
Chu Ci noticed the crisp sound of the crystal door curtain shaking in the study room and looked up.
Xiao Mokuang only saw the glimmer in Chu Ci's eyes after she saw him. She subconsciously put on a well-behaved smile at the corner of her lips, put down the book in her hand, and stood up. "Master, why are you here at this time?"
'Xiao Mo's love value +2, currently 19.'
For a moment, Xiao Mo Kuang actually felt that this luxurious brocade robe was extremely suitable for this little girl.
Startled for a moment by his own thought, the ferocious beast, which was always good at turning the world upside down, lowered its eyes, and without saying a word, stepped forward, its tall figure suddenly approaching so closely.
Chu Ci blinked but didn't move, just watching him approach.
Finally, the slightly cold sandalwood scent on his body moved closer, and Chu Ci took half a step back. While Xiao Mokuang was thinking about the meaning of her action, she raised her hand and rubbed her neck, which was a little tired from tilting it up.
