Chen Mo leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Does Your Highness know that ceilings need to be suspended?"
Empress: [・_・?]
...
...
An incense stick’s time later.
Chen Mo pushed the door open and walked out of the room.
Under absolute skill, the Empress was already exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Walking through the dark palace corridor, he arrived at the inner hall. Through the moonlight spilling outside the window, he could see the rising and falling outline on the small couch.
Chen Mo quickly stepped forward and said softly, "Empress, are you okay?"
"Not good."
Yu Youhan, with her back to him, said in a muffled voice.
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, sat down beside her, and said, "Is the Empress still angry about what just happened? I had no choice; after all, the Empress was drunk and could only be indulged for a while..."
"She asked you to do it, so you did it?"
"And with such force, in front of her, making me so unbearable... I never want to see you again!"
Yu Youhan bit her lip, her voice cold yet carrying a hint of resentment.
Chen Mo was silent for a moment, bowed his head, and said, "If that is the case, then I shall not trouble the Empress’s eyes. I will take my leave now."
With that said, the sound of footsteps gradually faded, and the air became silent.
Yu Youhan snorted coldly, "Stop pretending, I know you haven’t left at all."
For a moment, no one responded.
Yu Youhan’s breathing paused, then she spoke in a deep voice, "Fine, the further you go, the better. I don’t need you to care."
Still, no one responded.
The entire inner hall was so quiet that it seemed you could hear your own heartbeat.
A hint of panic flashed in Yu Youhan’s eyes, her speech hastened, "Chen Mo, have you really left? If you dare leave me here alone, I’ll... Chen Mo, are you here or not? Say something!"
This red ribbon can only be untied by Chen Mo.
If he leaves her alone, she would truly be no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
By tomorrow morning, when the palace attendants come in and find her in this state, the consequences could be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Yu Youhan began to feel a bit anxious, wriggling like a caterpillar, she struggled to sit up and look around, discovering no one in the inner hall.
Chen Mo had already left.
A trace of loneliness and disappointment flashed in her eyes, she muttered softly, "I was just speaking in anger, couldn’t you just humor me? Why take it seriously, you petty man..."
"So it was just angry words?"
"I thought the Empress really didn’t want to see me anymore."
At that moment, a familiar voice reached her ears.
Yu Youhan’s body stiffened, she slowly turned her head to look.
She saw Chen Mo leaning against the window frame, moonlight outlining his body in silver, with a handsome face carrying a faint smile, gazing at her with a grin.
