Sui Mo’s face turned from blue to black, and just as he was about to speak, Mei Kaiye cut him off, “The emperor definitely isn’t like you,” wagging her index finger and looking him up and down with contempt, “Full of bad intentions! Shallow! Hypocritical! Conceited! False gentleman! Black-hearted! Lecher! Repressed…”
With each word Mei Kaiye uttered, Sui Mo’s face darkened further. Was his impression to this woman really that bad? He considered himself quite charming and suave.
“I can help you,” Sui Mo interrupted her with a dark face. “If the selection has just ended a few days ago, if you want to enter, I can arrange for someone to take you in.”
Mei Kaiye heard this and instantly became happy, immediately agreeing, “Really?”
“Mm.”
“Hard to imagine.”
Suddenly, a figure stood next to Mei Kaixue, startling her. Looking up, she saw it was Sui Feng.
“Hey, Xiao Fengfeng, can’t you not appear so silently, okay?” Mei Kaixue muttered, touching her chest, “You’re like a ghost, scaring people to death!”
When hearing the words “Xiao Fengfeng”, a crack appeared on Sui Feng’s expression, but only for an instant. With a blank face, he said, “Miss Mei, the master requests your presence.”
“I won’t go.
Sui Feng looked exasperated, but then Mei Kaixue smiled and said, “Just kidding.”
After they left, Ah Min seemed incredulous, shaking Wushuang beside her, “Wushuang, we didn’t see wrong, right? That man was the emperor’s personal bodyguard?”
“If he really was the emperor’s personal bodyguard, that means the emperor is looking for her,” Wushuang was also stunned, quickly denying the emerging conclusion, “No, no, we must have seen wrong.”
Mei Kaixue followed Sui Feng for a long time before reaching their destination. It was a quiet palace, standing by the water, with very few palace servants. She saw Sui Mo lazily leaning on a soft couch, eyes slightly drooping. One palace maid was fanning him, while another massaged him.
These days, Mei Kaixue had been suffocated by the palace’s gloomy atmosphere, so upon seeing Sui Mo, she excitedly ran to the couch and shook his arm, “Stop sleeping! You ink stain.”
Sui Mo opened his eyes, frowning and slowly sitting up, his loosely draped outer garment sliding down, revealing his beautiful collarbone. “Let go, you’re crude.”
