Qin Mo kept drinking, and Danfengyan kept pouring him more wine. Neither of them spoke, and soon Qin Mo finished the whole jar of wine by himself.
"You have a very high alcohol tolerance..." Danfeng smiled, reached out and picked up another jar, about to fill Qin Mo's glass.
Qin Mo reached out and covered Li Fengyan's hand. Her hand was cool and smooth like jade, which calmed Qin Mo's heart.
"I'm not drinking anymore, this wine... I can't afford it." Qin Mo smiled at the phoenix-eyed man.
Danfeng looked at Qin Mo's smile, which was no longer as sunny as usual, and said with mixed feelings, "How could you not afford to drink? I'll give you some."
Qin Mo's smile was bittersweet as she lowered her head and said, "This wine... I've had it before."
"Oh!" Danfeng eyes responded slightly. She lowered her eyelids, concealing her gaze and her inner thoughts.

"Yes, time will heal all wounds," Qin Mo agreed, and began to drink in silence.
Danfengyan poured himself a glass of wine, sipped it slowly, and drank with Qin Mo.
"There are some things I need to discuss with you..." She finally couldn't drink anymore, lowered her head and pondered for a long time before speaking softly.
"Business or personal?"
"...It's...business..." She hesitated greatly, as if she wanted to hold onto something, but still had to let go helplessly.
"Since this is official business, let me first pay my respects!"
Qin Mo stood up, placed her hands on her forehead, and bowed deeply; her long sleeves covered her eyes, soaking away her tears.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty the Empress!"
