“Not punishing her, punishing you.” Fei Zuo laughed and tilted his head, then quickly turned away. His tone was sinister: “Wait for tonight… then you’ll know if I’m capable.”
“Such a beautiful girl, why alone here?” A slightly immature voice, full of teasing, “Come, let big brother help you up.”
Looking up, she saw a boy around sixteen or seventeen crouching before her, smiling with a mischievous expression.
The maidservant immediately knelt and greeted, “Greetings, Eighth Prince!”
Mei Kaiye slapped away his extended hand and got up herself. She looked him up and down, “Hmph,” she disdained, “A pretentious brat.”
The young man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “Sister is truly unique. No wonder my royal brother keeps you hidden. But aren’t women supposed to be charming, look at men with passionate eyes, and be completely obedient?”
Mei Kaiye snorted and walked away.
The young man hurriedly chased, “Sister, are you going to see royal brother? I’ll go ask the palace about you.”
Mei Kaiye stopped and pushed him hard, “I’m in a bad mood today. I have no time to play house with a child. Go, go play by yourself.”
“Don’t follow me. Keep following, and I’ll beat you!” Mei Kaiye sneered and left. The maidservant hurried after her.
Seeing Mei Kaiye walk away, the young man said, “Tell me about her.”
“Yes.”
The young man touched his chin and suddenly laughed, “That sister is quite interesting.”
After leaving, Mei Kaiye went directly to her room and climbed onto the bed. “Go, get me wound medicine.”
The maidservant said, “The prince ordered not to…”
“Ah, I know,” Mei Kaiye tapped her head, “Where are the medicines in this mansion usually kept?”
The maidservant looked troubled.
Mei Kaiye snorted, “How ungrateful. I just saved her life.”
The maidservant, seeing her unhappy, quickly revealed the medicine storage location and when it would be unguarded.
Mei Kaiye was satisfied, smiling and lying on the bed for a nap.
In the deep of night, she got up, dressed simply, tied her hair back with a band, and secretly left.
The moonlight was pure, spreading its clear radiance.
Mei Kaiye quietly slipped into the medicine room, searching for the drawer with wound medicine by moonlight.
