Moyi’s eyes darkened, pressing his lips together silently.
He wanted to say something, but Mei Kaiye would not believe him.
“So, Your Majesty, are you going to break my hand again or continue with the needles?” Mei Kaiye said with a cruel smile.
Every time she smiled like this, calling him Your Majesty, he felt an unbearable pain, as if his heart was tightly bound by vines, unable to breathe.
“Kaiye…” Moyi murmured, his voice softening slightly. But meeting Mei Kaiye’s ice-cold gaze, that softness turned hard, “Your hand is completely healed.” The hand in his, slender as jade, showed no trace of injury.
He gently let go, swallowing his hope.
“Yes, see, perfectly fine,” Mei Kaiye smiled, then coldly said, “So you won’t even give me a bit of guilt, right?”
“Is that how you see me?” Moyi grabbed her.
Mei Kaiye violently shook off his hand, gritting her teeth, “Isn’t this the truth?”
Moyi looked up, “…No.” But his voice was too soft, dissipating as soon as it left his mouth. His lips barely moved, as if he hadn’t spoken at all.
Mei Kaiye naturally didn’t hear him, continuing coldly, “If there’s nothing else, get out of here! I don’t want to see you!” She turned to leave quickly. Moyi frantically reached out, catching a strand of her hair, smooth and cold, chilling to his very heart.
Mei Kaiye stopped, feeling defeated, “I really don’t want to see you!”
“Ah—”
A miserable scream, blood spilled on the ground, the palace maid covered her injured forehead and fell to the ground.
The object thrown by Mo Yi was a pair of flower scissors.
“Call the imperial physician!” Mei Kaiye ordered, then coldly looked at Mo Yi, “Indeed, the emperor is heartless, so casually disregarding human life.”
The two palace maids guarding the door, seeing that the emperor did not object, immediately helped the injured woman out, with one running to find the imperial physician.
Mo Yi was about to say something when he saw Mei Kaiye wiping her lips repeatedly, as if venting something, fiercely wiping until they were swollen. He coldly asked, “What are you doing?”
Mei Kaiye glanced at him and snorted coldly, “Dirty!”
