Consort Yu looked at her, "Have you found it?"
Granny Wang looked ashamed. "The people from back then are all dead, and they left no trace."
"Granny, you're criticizing me!"
"Your Majesty," Granny Wang suddenly interrupted her, "I heard from the Imperial Household Department that His Majesty will not be entering the inner palace tonight. Your Majesty, why don't you rest early?" She glanced out the window.
There was a shadow, which flashed by quickly.
Consort Yu's eyes immediately sharpened.
Granny Wang walked over in a few steps, but saw nothing.
"Never mind, there will always be these ghosts in the palace." Consort Yu sighed, a hint of unconcealed annoyance and disillusionment in her eyes.
Wang Mama looked at her with pity, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Does Your Highness regret entering the palace with His Majesty?"
"His eyes are only on his empire; he no longer cares about me."
"Your Majesty..."
"If I had known that the fleeting happiness would come at the cost of endless guilt, I would have chosen not to know him." Yu Fei looked at her painting, her gaze finally settling on the lonely old man in a straw raincoat.
Before long, what Consort Yu said in her palace reached Emperor Wende's ears.
Emperor Wende was very well-preserved and looked to be only around forty years old. His mature charm, which came from experiencing the ups and downs of life, as well as his imperial aura, made his already handsome features even more majestic.
"Ha!" Emperor Wende merely snorted and then ignored him.
...
It started to rain at night, first a light drizzle, then gradually the rain became heavier.
Mu Run stood by the window, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof tiles, feeling exceptionally peaceful.
The west wing was lit, and Shi Xuan's silhouette could be seen reflected in the window as he intently read a letter.
Mu Run gazed at the figure, feeling a vague sense of familiarity.
One's face can change, but one's body shape is hard to alter, unless one possesses the kind of supple, flexible martial arts that can change the shape of one's bones. But judging from how he can't even stick a mask on properly, he probably can't.
Because it was raining, they didn't go to the Prince's Mansion to get the 'demon-revealing mirror', but went straight back to Shi Xuan's residence.
The so-called 'demon-revealing mirror' is actually the True Return Mirror, and it's not actually in the Prince's mansion, but in her own space. She said it was in the Prince's mansion because she wanted to test his reaction. At the time, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but she felt a slight curiosity about his true appearance.
But once she arrived at the house, she no longer wanted to know.
Reaching out to catch a few raindrops blown by the night wind to the window, Mu Run called out to the west wing, "I want some snacks."
The shadow on the window moved, and soon Shi Xuan came out from inside. He saw her leaning against the window, resting her chin on one hand and catching raindrops with the other. He frowned slightly.
"You're not feeling well, don't catch a cold from the rain." Saying this, she walked over to Mu Run, intending to close the window.
Mu Run disagreed, "I'm perfectly healthy."
"I didn't notice." Shi Xuan closed the window anyway.
Mu Run pushed him away again, annoyed. "Hey, don't block my view of the rain."
"It's pitch black, where did this rain scene come from?" Shi Xuan closed the window again, this time locking it with the bolt.
Mu Run: "..."
Shi Xuan went back inside, but only stood at the doorway without going in. "What would you like to eat?"
Mu Run originally wanted to say that she should just bring the candied fruit that Gong had made for her. Since he was the one who packed the carriage, only he knew where the things were, which was why she called him.
But the fact that they wouldn't let her open the window for fresh air and kept closing it made her a little unhappy. "I want to eat the Five-Flavor Pastry from the Star Gazing Tower."
Shi Xuan was slightly taken aback, "The Star Gazing Tower in the capital?"
Mu Run nodded. "Can't you buy it?"
Shi Xuan gave her a deep look. "I'll go now and be back in half an hour."
Mu Run tilted her head, smiled slightly, exuding an indescribable charm, "If you don't come back, I will punish you!"
