“Why did you come down from up there? The King’s library never allows girls to enter.” Langyue’s tone seemed more concerned about this issue, sounding jealous. I bit my lip, following Chiye Uncle’s instructions, ignoring her tone of vinegar, and said: “The King, he’s fine. He might stay in the library these two days.”
“Why?” Langyue jumped up anxiously.
“Langyue, what exactly do you want to know?” In a daze, I had blurted out the most puzzling thing in my heart. Huang Yi Uncle pulled my sleeve from behind, and I came to my senses. Langyue didn’t notice the warning in Huang Yi’s eyes, and simply said: “I just want to know how the King is doing.”
I looked at Huang Yi Uncle and had to say systematically: “He, with you thinking of him like this, should be fine.”
My words clearly implied that the King’s condition was not good. Langyue understood and exclaimed: “Jiao Long, what do you mean by this?”
“Nothing, don’t overthink it.”
Langyue looked at me warily for a moment, and said seriously: “Jiao Long, you are my good sister. You can’t hide anything from me.”
Why would Suo Mu Lang want to harm me? This tangled chain of events, where should I even begin to unravel? If I wasn’t curious about why Suo Mu Lang harmed me, I wouldn’t have cooperated with Chiye Uncle in this fake performance. But does Langyue truly consider me a good sister? Did I misunderstand something? Perhaps Langyue doesn’t know, or maybe even Uncle Suo Mu Lang is innocent…
He stared at me for a moment, then suddenly reached out and embraced me, resting his head on my shoulder, stroking my loose blue hair with a hint of admiration: “Long’er, you are truly clever.”
“Tell me, what is the prophecy?”
“No, before I didn’t want to say, now I cannot say,” he murmured, gently kissing my hair strands, and I trembled. He then asked, “Why do you think I would kill you? I’m the one who saved your life…”
“How do I know this isn’t your scheme? Perhaps you already knew about Suomurang’s trap, you pretended to save me and get injured, this is part of your calculated plan…”
My words were cut off by his lips.
