When Xiang Yinghan barged in, he wasn't even properly dressed.
A black dragon robe was loosely draped over his body.
It was obvious that she had already fallen asleep, but Consort Li forcibly woke her up.
His right hand, slightly calloused, held Li Fei's hand tightly.
His face was filled with heartache, and his heart was filled with righteous indignation.
He strode toward the main hall of Renshou Palace, intending to kick down the door and summon Si Jin, ordering him to kneel down and apologize to Consort Li.
To his surprise, when he rushed to the front of the hall, he saw the boy he hated so much wearing a thin undergarment, holding a broom, and sweeping the ground with determination and seriousness.
His long, black hair cascaded down his thin shoulders.
The moonlight shone down, its pure white glow gently falling on Si Jin, as if it couldn't bear to let him get cold and wanted to drape an outer garment over him.
This scene left Xiang Yinghan stunned for a moment.
He stared blankly at Si Jin sweeping the courtyard, his scattered thoughts suddenly pulled back to a few years ago...
The day I first met Si Jin...
At that time, he was still a prince, and Si Jin was only sixteen years old.
When the handsome young man first entered the palace, he had no one to take care of him, and he even had to sweep up the fallen leaves in the courtyard by himself.
Xiang Yinghan remembers that it was also a night.
The boy standing under the moonlight quietly entered his heart.
From then on, she became the eternal white moonlight in the depths of his memory.
Hearing footsteps, the boy who was cleaning seemed to be startled.
He looked up abruptly, colliding head-on with the aggressive Xiang Yinghan. His body jolted, and his grip on the broom tightened involuntarily.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
At this moment, the boy had lost the "resentful woman" air he had accumulated in the deep palace, and simply stared wide-eyed.
Upon closer inspection, one can see a silent allure in those peach blossom eyes, making one's heart flutter at first glance.
Xiang Yinghan loosened his grip on Consort Li's hand and took two steps forward.
When he saw that the thin, frail figure was indeed his Si Jin, even the resentment he had accumulated on the way there vanished completely.
"Jinjin, why are you dressed so thinly in the middle of the night?"
Aren't you cold?
Upon hearing Xiang Yinghan's next sentence, Si Jin sneezed in perfect coordination.
This completely melted away Xiang Yinghan's violent temper.
He decisively took off his outer robe, stepped forward, and draped it over the thin cat demon, saying with concern:
"Why aren't you getting some rest? What are you cleaning up in the middle of the night?"
Consort Li: ...
Consort Li: …………
She suppressed her rage and it took her a while to realize that something was wrong.
She came to His Majesty to settle scores with Yue Sijin, not to ask His Majesty to put a coat on Yue Sijin!
That little bitch, wasn't she pretty tough when I beat her up during the day?
Why are you pretending to be innocent now?!
She's so angry!!!
Consort Li quickly pulled Xiang Yinghan back, forcing out two tears:
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten why you came to Renshou Palace today? Look, look closely at what Yue Sijin is sweeping!"
"It's blood, it's my blood!!"
"I almost died in Renshou Palace today, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
She screamed in anguish, begging Xiang Yinghan to give her justice.
Xiang Yinghan then remembered the purpose of his visit.
But at this moment, even if he was furious, he couldn't bear to lose his temper with the boy in front of him.
Over the years, Yue Sijin has always been his white moonlight.
But this moonlight has always been immersed in the deep dye vat of the palace.
It's dirty, it's old, and it no longer excites him.
Gradually, the white moonlight became the most useless white piece on his imperial chessboard.
But now, Si Jin suddenly became dazzling.
He himself couldn't bear to get angry at him, so how could he help Consort Li bully him?
Xiang Yinghan asked, "Jingjing, is what Consort Li said true?"
