C189 (2/2)

After leaving the hall, the Eunuch Chen led Su Li to lead the horses.

Su Li didn't understand these things and let the stars choose.

After picking their horses, the two returned to their rooms.

When the palace servants brought food over for dinner, she was happy and at ease. She really didn't like to go out and play around with others.

Mo Lianjin lived in the main hall, and was responsible for protecting the Emperor An.

Just that, she had just gone to the main hall and Mo Lianjin was not there either.

”Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, when you went to send the tableware back, you asked me where the Fifth Prince went.”

”Yes.”

Stars Pet Chain Supermarket took the tray and left, only returning after a while.

”He said he was going to check the security around him.”

Su Li nodded his head, ”In tomorrow's competition, we will try our best to win, you go to sleep early, I will read some books before I sleep.”

Stars Pet Chain Supermarket didn't make a sound and just laid down on a small bed in the room.

Su Li said that he was reading a book, but she was actually waiting for Mo Lianjin. She knew that he would definitely come and tell her that he was back.

Sure enough, around ten o'clock, there were a few light knocks on the door.

Su Li opened the door to see a servant girl he had never seen before.

”Fifth Prince's Wife has sent a servant to meet you. He is waiting for you outside.”

”Alright, it's been hard on you.”

The maidservant bowed once more before turning around to leave.

Su Li turned around to look at the sleeping Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, then gently closed the door and walked outside.

Outside of the palace, the night wind was slightly cold. She walked down the stairs for a while and saw Mo Lianjin standing in the pavilion with his back facing her.

She rolled her eyes and tiptoed over to the pavilion. After entering, she covered his eyes with her hands and asked in a high-pitched voice, ”Guess who I am!”

”You are This King's woman.” Mo Lianjin laughed lowly, and turned around to hold her hand which she did not have time to take back.

”You knew I was behind you?” Su Li didn't scare him, she was shocked instead.

”Do you think that my internal energy can't compare to that little trifling martial arts of yours?”

”…” ”That isn't a three-legged martial art, but a orthodox fighting technique, alright?” What did you call me out for? ”

”Are you heartless? ”After not seeing This King for a long while, you don't even have the slightest intention of thinking about This King?”

”Even in the palace, we don't always stick together.” Su Li muttered, her face burning.

”This King will bring you to a place.” Mo Lianjin brought her to the west side of the encampment, where there was a small stream.

There was a flat meadow there.

Mo Lianjin was the first to lie down, and patted the ground beside him, ”Qingqing, come over.”

”Numb meat.” Su Li muttered. Upon coming in contact with his fiery gaze, he panicked and forced himself to lie down.

Naturally, his arm went through her neck as a pillow.

He raised his other hand and pointed at the stars in the sky. ”Look.”

Su Li looked towards where he was pointing at, and only then did he realize that there were a lot of stars in the sky, which was especially bright tonight.

It was very quiet around the creek. The wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the stream gurgled.

She couldn't help but think of her childhood, when her parents had taken her camping and seen the same starry sky.

I wonder, how is everything in the modern world?
