Mei Kaixia uncontrollably burst into laughter, tears streaming down, “Look, everything was done by me, just like that.”
Mo Yi softly responded, frowning and speaking seriously, “Mei Kaixia, do not make a joke. Do you want to add more charges?”
Mei Kaixia snapped her fingers, and the chief examiner returned to normal, pale-faced and trembling.
“A joke?” Mei Kaixia smiled faintly, “Okay, what I just said was a lie, and everything has nothing to do with me. Do you… believe me?” She looked up, staring at Mo Yi.
“You…” Mo Yi sighed, wanting to say something, but averted his gaze when her eyes swept over him.
“What? Afraid to look at me?” Mei Kaixia saw his slight movement, and the last bit of softness in her heart gradually hardened, spreading a bone-chilling coldness. “In the end, you still don’t believe me, afraid I’ll make a move on you? Mo! Yi!
Ah—” a painful scream. Like an animal facing a threat to its life, with only the instinct to survive, desperately trying to break free from the ropes. Mei Kai Ye suddenly threw her head back, her black hair swinging up with the movement. Even the last hairpin in her hair dropped to the ground and shattered.
— It was, given by Mo Shui.
— It was, personally placed by Mo Shui.
— He had said, this hairpin is unique, so he would give it to a unique person.
— He had said, this gift proves his excellent taste.
— He had said, look in the mirror, the gift is beautiful, isn't it?
No, that wasn't Mo Shui, that was Mo Yi, the ruler of the Great Zhao Nation, who had never truly been her Mo Shui.
Her Mo Shui would never let her be hurt, always the most indulgent, letting her do as she pleased, cleaning up her messes. He would even laugh and not dodge when she hit him.
The chief judge laughed viciously, grotesquely, "Wretched woman, how dare you offend me. I'll teach you a lesson."
The third long needle pierced in, entering...
Her voice was already hoarse, rough and unpleasant.
She couldn’t help but remember the past when she was in the Vermilion Palace and Grand Virtue Hall, how he always protected her, always indulged her.
“Ah—”
