About the last question raised by Ming Shu, the master didn't answer with an affirmative.
He only told her that the Heavenly Temple existed for the royal family and was inseparable from it.
Ming Shu pondered this while eating lotus seeds.
The Heavenly Temple and the royal family...
This evening I should go beat Princess Rong Hua.
[...] Why could the Guest relate her thinking about the relationship between the Heavenly Temple and the royal family to beating Princess Rong Hua?
...
That night, Ming Shu ganged up with the little beastie as well as the Harmony System, which kept encouraging her to practice this or that evil idea on Princess Rong Hua, and went to give Princess Rong Hua a violent beating.
Upon finishing, Ming Shu climbed up the wall to get out.
The little beastie fell onto the ground first, but before it could roll to one side, Ming Shu fell from the wall and landed on it. The little beastie immediately saw stars, it was so dizzy...
Move aside! You're so heavy!
The little beastie could only protest angrily.
"This wall didn't seem so high when we came in, strange..." Ming Shu murmured while climbing up from ground.
The little beastie rolled aside quickly.
I'll never walk along with her again, it hurts! What if this stops me from growing taller?!
"Auh!" A sudden exclamation rang out.
The little beastie was so startled its fur bristled all over, and it turned to the culprit angrily.
What's the matter!
This late at night, are you going to scare a little beastie to death?!
The little beastie's pupils narrowed to slits, alertly staring at the black shadows on the other side.
"Your Royal Highness..." This voice was a bit familiar. "What are you doing here?"
Ming Shu patted her chest and stepped back while showing a look of mock fright. "God, you scared me. Don't you make any noise while walking? It's too late and quiet now."
"..." We scared you, and you are laughing? Ye Cong thought.
By the way, we were the first to stand here, okay?
The little beastie rolled into the grass to hide.
King Huai, who was almost in harmony with the darkness, glanced at it without expression, then took back his sight in just one second. He didn't seem to be interested in what it was.
Ye Cong asked carefully, "Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
Just now, as soon as he and his lord came here, a person fell down from the wall before them. They wanted to hide but it was too late.
Ming Shu stopped patting her chest and smoothed down several curls of hair falling around her ear. "What are you doing here? As far as I know, King Huai does not live in the palace?"
In any case, she lived in the palace, even if she appeared here in the middle of the night, so she could make up any reason and cover this up. But, King Huai was not residing in the palace.
Ye Cong didn't dare to answer of his own accord, casting his gaze on his lord.
King Huai's eyes fell on Ming Shu, and the darkness of night masked all the emotions in his eyes.
