Under the cover of darkness, Ming Shu returned to the Heavenly Temple.
"Little Ci."
As Ming Shu reached her door, the kind voice of the old master rang from behind her.
Ming Shu raised her smiling face and turned around. "Master, you're still awake?"
The old master shook his head and sighed. "You are too willful, Little Ci, you were not like this before."
Since the Heavenly Temple had arranged people to protect her, it was natural for the master to know everything Ming Shu had done.
"People will change." Ming Shu laughed. "I can't live in the past forever."
Of course, the old master knew people would change, but she had changed so radically.
He always felt...
She had changed into another person.
The old master waved his hand slowly, as if he was very tired. "Things have been settled about Princess Rong Hua. Go in and take a rest. If the emperor sends people here to investigate, just cooperate with them and don't fool around. I'll deal with the person who framed you."
"Okay," Ming Shu agreed immediately.
She pushed the door open and walked inside. The old master, however, stood outside for a while before leaving.
The room was just the same as when she left it, but Ming Shu stood still at the door and stared behind the screen.
"Hiding in the room of a young lady in the middle of the night, this is not something that a noble lord should do."
No one answered. Ming Shu waited patiently.
I have plenty of time and patience.
The time for a cup of tea had passed, and the man behind the screen finally lost his patience, turning around to get out.
Wearing the black suit of royal lords, was King Huai.
Ye Cong also came out, following his lord. He didn't dare to look around casually, trying to reduce his presence.
"The royal princess colluded with an assassin to steal the princess of a country," King Huai said in a serious tone upon getting out, trying to hold onto the upper hand in this conversation.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. "That's right. What do you want?"
"To borrow your room for a while." At this point, the palace was full of guards, and the Heavenly Temple was the only place that was safe for these two.
Ming Shu widened her smile and her tone became even gentler. "King Huai, if I should shout aloud right now, what will you do?"
"It's not good for either of us. You wouldn't want that to happen." King Huai was still calm. His eyes unintentionally fell on somewhere in the room, and his pupils slightly shrunk, but then returned to normal after a while.
Standing beside him, Ye Cong was very anxious. My lord, that's not the right tone for negotiation, okay?! What are you thinking?
"Well, I..." Ming Shu dragged out her words. "In fact, I don't care much about what would happen, as long as I am happy."
King Huai's cold face changed a bit, finally, but his tone was still the same. "You can try it."
Ye Cong: "..."
I always feel these two are going to have a fight.
Lord, we are asking for help now, can't we be a little thankful? Humble?
