Sui Xing lazily spoke, “Wu Fei, lying is not good, you know.”
“You!” Wu Fei’s tears filled her eyes, “Your Majesty, this mere palace guard actually dares to offend this concubine.”
Mo Yi flung her away, “Don’t take yourself too seriously!”
Sui Xing pointed at a small house’s door and exclaimed, “Oh! Your Majesty, there’s a bloody smell here!”
Before Sui Xing could finish speaking, Mo Yi suddenly pushed open the door and walked in quickly.
The fragile woman was curled up in the corner, her garment stained with blood, long hair falling loose and covering her face. Mo Yi’s heart ached, and he quickly walked over, carefully lifting her up. He whispered softly, “Gift…”
“Mo, Mo Shui…” a weak voice came from his arms.
Mo Yi’s face remained dark. After leaving the room, he coldly ordered, “Send Wu Fei to the Cold Palace.”
“Your Majesty! Why?” Wu Fei stumbled to the ground, crawling to grab Mo Yi’s clothing, “Just for this mere palace maid?”
Mo Yi coldly glanced at her and walked away, “She is not a palace maid. She is my Night Concubine.”
That night, the imperial palace lost a Wu Fei and gained a Night Concubine.
Mo Yi brought Mei Kai Ye back, and after the eunuch examined her, he asked Sui Xing, “You clearly knew I was looking for her.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Ah, are you angry?” Sui Xing remained carefree, “Your form of address has changed.”
“Answer me!”
“Okay, okay!” Sui Xing found a place to sit, poured himself tea, and slowly said, “Don’t you think she was too presumptuous? Since she’s so presumptuous, someone needs to restrain her.”
“But it didn’t have to be someone else!”
“With her straightforward personality, who knows when she might offend someone. Can you always be by her side to protect her?”
Mo Yi paused, then firmly said, “I can!”
“Well, that’s best,” Sui Xing lowered his eyes, hiding a fleeting emotion, “But if it were me, I would make her leave the protection circle. Fortunately, you’re not me.”
“You…”
Sui Xing smiled at Mo Yi, “I’ve done something good for Your Majesty. To make her understand that within the imperial palace, she cannot always be so presumptuous, and to make her realize that besides you, no one will protect her.”
