"There are also some overtly flirtatious but secretly scheming types, and some seemingly innocent but actually manipulative types. You should know that these kinds of men only exist in novels. And once you understand their backgrounds, you'll understand how to first communicate with them in a pure and innocent way, and then fall in love with them in a way that resembles the female lead." After Shang Xian finished speaking, Mo Xi was completely shocked.
"You're so scheming!" You even tried to communicate with her by portraying yourself as an innocent, pure woman.
"What's this? Men don't interest me at all. Even Shen Yi isn't particularly interesting to me. I just think he's very powerful." He was able to protect himself.
"So you still prefer the one named Li Ci?" Mo Xi asked.
Only then did Shang Xian seriously consider what kind of feelings she had for Li Ci...
The conclusion is: "His soul weighs three hundred pounds—interesting enough, and familiar enough."
Moxi clicked his tongue: "Stop thinking about all that nonsense. Your only task now is to be the emperor. Don't think about anything else."
"Oh right, I also need to see how Rong Ling explains things to Dugu Qianchen," Shang Xian suddenly remembered. "Mo Xixi, quickly take me to see her."
Helpless, Moxi carried her to the roof of the Imperial Study.
On the rooftop, Shang Xian miraculously discovered another person—Shen Yi!
"Since Brother Shenyi is here, I'll go back to sleep first." Moxi yawned and disappeared on the roof.
Shang Xian stepped onto the red glazed tiles. Shen Yi, who was lying on them, reached out and pulled her up when he saw her coming. He continued to lie down, and Shang Xian sat down beside him.
"What are you doing here?" Shang Xian whispered in his ear.
Shen Yi felt a little annoyed when he thought about what she had just said.
Yes, he knew what Shang Xian and Mo Xi were saying. As long as two of them were talking together, the other could choose to hear them, so he heard the whole thing.
Shang Xian was just as he had thought; she always had the upper hand when it came to men.
She said he had a weakness in relationships, that he could actually develop feelings for someone over time...
He knew it himself, and that was indeed the case.
"Let's hear what they have to say." Shen Yi put on a good show, showing no sign of anything amiss.
They both shut their mouths and listened quietly to the sounds below.
——
Rong Ling entered the imperial study, filled with melancholy.
The moment he pushed open the door to the imperial study, all three of them were inside.
"Ah Ling?" Dugu Qianchen looked at Rong Ling, who had suddenly arrived, with a puzzled expression.
Rong Lingtian sighed: "Are you discussing something right now?"
Dugu Lianbai nodded: "Ah Ling, you've come at the right time. As for the Empress..."
Before he could finish speaking, Rong Ling interrupted him: "Is there an assassin attack?"
Yu Hanzhi's eyes flickered: "What's it to you?"
Dugu Qianchen and Dugu Lianbai exchanged a glance, deeply suspicious.
Rong Ling nodded: "Indeed."
"What does this have to do with you, Ah Ling?" Dugu Lianbai couldn't figure out what the young marquis had to do with Ning Jiu'er.
"I came to the palace last night, but I accidentally climbed over the wrong wall and ended up in the inner palace..." Rong Ling rubbed his forehead, looking embarrassed.
Dugu Lianbai chuckled, then immediately covered his mouth, suppressing his laughter: "You didn't sneak into Jinning Palace, did you?"
They all knew that Rong Ling never liked to come to the palace through the main gate, but rather to climb over the wall...
Rong Ling slowly nodded, then shook his head: "I had no idea where I was at the time, and I panicked. I turned around and bumped into a woman. Without saying a word, I drugged her. I don't even know if she saw me clearly."
