Xuanming shook his head helplessly, slowly stood up, and began to tidy up the chessboard.
However, at that moment, a faint smell of blood wafted into his nose.
His expression immediately turned serious, and his gaze quickly turned towards the direction from which the stench of blood was coming.
On the marble floor, a few drops of bright red blood stood out, like blooming red plum blossoms.
He then realized that Mo Beichen had been sitting in that spot, so the bloodstains came from Mo Beichen's body.
No wonder this guy kept his hand hidden in his sleeve; he had a wound.
Strange, why didn't I smell it before?
"This kid is really good at enduring things," Xuan Ming muttered under his breath.
But why would he bleed for no reason? Xuanming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
He turned around abruptly, looked out at the pitch-black night, and sighed deeply.
"Alas, the mountain has trees, but the trees have no branches; I love you, but you do not know." Xuanming murmured to himself, a trace of regret on his face.
Then, as if he had remembered something, he quickly shook his head, refuting himself.
He murmured blankly, "No, no, didn't I just tell him everything? He should know Yun Qingluo's feelings for him now, and he himself knows he loves Yun Qingluo. So, it should be 'My heart is pleased with you, and you know it too'..."
After saying that, he sighed again, as if he had endless regrets and feelings in his heart.
Mu Zhi knocked on the door and walked in with a smile. "Mo Beichen is gone? What are you muttering to yourself here all by yourself?"
Xuanming saw the food box in Muzhi's hand and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
“I was thinking of letting you get some rest, but you’re so diligent.” Xuan Ming’s tone still carried a hint of reproach.
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so what you need most right now is rest. You absolutely mustn't overexert yourself." Xuan Ming took the food box from Mu Zhi and placed it on the table, gesturing for her to sit next to him.
Mu Zhi obediently sat down and said with a playful smile, "You're not fully recovered either, so don't criticize me. Don't you know what your own body is like? You don't even get proper rest, and all you do is nag me every day."
Xuanming smiled helplessly, his eyes filled with affection, and said gently, "I'm too busy with state affairs, there's nothing I can do about it. The Holy Continent, the Ghost Continent, and the Void Continent are at war, and the people along the coast are all fleeing to the Xuancang Continent. Memorials from all over the country are falling on my desk like snowflakes, I have no choice but to deal with them."
Mu Zhi felt a pang of sympathy after hearing this.
How could she not know how busy he was?
When Xuanming was young, he didn't know how to handle many things, so his father acted as the head of the court, leaving early and returning late every day, and sometimes even staying overnight in the palace.
She rarely gets to see her father.
Now that Xuanming's health is slowly recovering and his father has handed over the reins of government to him, coupled with matters on other continents, Xuanming will only become busier.
"I know, I know, you're very busy, but you still need to take care of yourself," Mu Zhi reminded her.
Xuanming nodded, "Okay, I understand."
"Oh, right, I made you some soup. Have some; you didn't eat enough for dinner." Mu Zhi opened the food box and handed the soup inside to Xuan Ming.
She watched Xuanming finish his drink before happily carrying the food box away.
"Go back and rest first. Don't wait for me. I might not be coming over tonight." Xuan Ming's tone carried a hint of guilt.
Mu Zhi turned back and smiled gently at him, "Xuan Ming, I like to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, rather than always having you turn around and wait for me. So just be yourself, and I'll be myself. One day, we'll stand side by side."
Xuanming was touched and after a long while, he said "okay" in a hoarse voice.
After Mu Zhi left, Xuan Ming began to devote himself to court affairs.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise coming from the window.
Xuanming glanced sideways and saw Mo Beichen leave and then return.
He glanced at the spot where they had just played chess, wondering if he had left anything behind.
"Here, this is for you. Luo Luo gave it to me, saying it can be used to deal with Qiong Yi. You can have the people from the Imperial Hospital study it later." Mo Beichen said coldly, throwing the bottle towards Xuan Ming.
Xuanming was taken aback, then immediately reached out and caught the bottle.
He understood what Mo Beichen meant: he was to take it to the Imperial Hospital, and if there were no problems, then it could be used.
This person is really meticulous.
When he looked up to say thank you, he found that Mo Beichen had already disappeared.
Xuanming shook his head and chuckled softly, "Why does this person seem to dislike my palace? Several times he's come and just stands at the door."
When Mo Beichen returned to Luochenxuan, Yun Qingluo seemed to have woken up.
He stood in the courtyard, looking at the candlelight inside the house, and felt a pang of pain in his heart as he recalled what Xuanming had said.
Inside the room, Yun Qinglu kept muttering about why Mo Beichen hadn't returned yet, as she walked to the window to close it.
She stood at the window and saw Mo Beichen standing in the courtyard.
"Ah Chen, you're back? Why don't you come in?" Yun Qingluo asked with a smile, her voice cheerful and lively.
Mo Beichen was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked towards the window, but it was already empty.
He frowned, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a slight noise behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the door was slowly pushed open, and Yun Qingluo walked out lightly.
A gentle smile graced her lips, and her eyes shone brightly like stars.
Upon seeing Mo Beichen, her smile deepened. She quickly stepped forward, took his hand, and asked with concern, "What are you daydreaming about? Come in quickly! Why are you standing in the yard instead of coming in?"
However, when she noticed the bloodstains on Mo Beichen's hands, her expression instantly turned serious.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Mo Beichen nervously, and she asked anxiously, "Oh dear, what happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?"
Yun Qingluo couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Could it be that she fought with Xuanming?
Thinking about this, her heart jumped into her throat.
"Are you injured anywhere else? Never mind, come inside quickly, let me see." After saying that, Yun Qingluo pulled Mo Beichen's sleeve and walked into the house.
After entering the house and closing the door, she began to take off Mo Beichen's clothes.
"Quickly check me, is there any other injury? How come your hand is bleeding? What did you talk about with Xuanming?" Yun Qingluo's tone was full of worry.
Mo Beichen stared silently at his wife.
Such a thin and small body contains such great energy; this is his wife.
Yun Qingluo reached out to help Mo Beichen take off his outer garment. Just as she was about to untie the belt, Mo Beichen reached out and hugged her tightly.
Yun Qingluo was stunned. This was the first time Mo Beichen had hugged her without any reason since he lost his memory.
What exactly happened?
Yun Qingluo took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and reached out to hug Mo Beichen's waist, asking him, "Achen, don't be afraid, I'm always here."
She felt Mo Beichen's body trembling, but she didn't know why.
