Xiao Yun nodded in silence, but still didn’t quite dare look at Zuiying.
Xu Ziling got to her feet, then walked up to Zuiying and looked up at him. “This is the consequence you get for daring to offend me!” She said with a cold smirk.
Zuiying took a deep breath and stared directly at Xu Ziling dead in the eyes. “When in the hell will you let me go?” He asked coldly.
Xu Ziling felt her face suddenly flush, and immediately spun around. That’s when the shadow guard managed to get a glance at her.
Why was she blushing? How embarrassing!
“I-I… I won’t let you leave! Just forget it!” She replied.
Zui Ying got even angrier. “You are completely unreasonable! I hate women like you the most!”
Xu Ziling turned around and glared at Zui Ying with a provoking smile. “Yeah, I’m completely unreasonable. What can you do about it? Hate me as much as you want. Like a wooden puppet, you can’t move an inch right now. Do you think I would care if you hate me or not?”
With that, she scoffed and walked out of the room.
Xiao Yun immediately caught up to her.
“You…” Zuiying glared speechlessly at Xu Ziling’s back. This elder young lady best not fall into his hands, or he definitely won’t spare her.
When Xu Ziling arrived at the Dark Moon Palace, she was stopped by Eunuch Chen. “Young Lady Xu, His Majesty the Emperor has orders to prohibit anyone from entering!”
Xu Ziling instantly gritted her teeth and put her hands on her hips. “Apart from those words, can you say anything else? Hurry up and let me in! I want to see His Majesty!” She cried angrily.
Eunuch Chen stood persistently in Xu Ziling’s way in refusal to let her through the palace gates.
“Hmph! You’ve really pissed me off!” Xu Ziling was furious.
“Eunuch Chen.” All of a sudden, two palace maids arrived, carrying trays of food.
Xu Ziling immediately took a few steps forwards and snatched the trays from their hands.
“Young Miss Xu, you…” The palace maids were instantly left stunned.
Xu Ziling scoffed coldly, then walked past the palace gates.
Eunuch Chen blocked her path. “Young Lady Xu, you mustn’t go in!”
“Move aside! If His Majesty gets hungry, will you take responsibility for that?” Xu Ziling said angrily.
Eunuch Chen looked at Xu Ziling in contemplation for a moment, then sighed and moved aside. Perhaps, Young Lady Xu has a way to heal His Majesty’s heartache!
Xu Ziling grinned, as she successfully walked into the Dark Moon Palace. She saw Han Moze sprawled on the desk, asleep with furrowed brows, and would ever so often murmur Shuang’er’s name.
Xu Ziling furrowed her elegant brows and suddenly felt that Han Moze wasn’t so attractive. She placed the tray down and softly cried, “Your Majesty, Ziling’s here to see you. Won’t you wake up?”
Han Moze gradually opened his eyes. “Has Shuang’er returned? Shuang’er, are you calling for me?”
Just then, he raised his eyes towards Xu Ziling and forcefully blinked to clear his vision. Seeing that it wasn’t Liu Rushuang, he picked up the wine, raised his head and gulped a mouthful of wine and flatly said, “Get out! Don’t come over to bother me!”
Xu Ziling pursed the corner of her lips, sighed, and turned to leave.
When she stepped out of the palace gates, Xu Ziling’s face looked worried and confused. Why did suddenly not feel so strongly for His Majesty anymore? In the past, she used to clearly feel incredibly attracted to him.
Xu Ziling couldn’t figure it out, as she walked all the way back to the general’s manor. Once inside, she couldn’t help but think it was funny when she saw Zuiying struggling to break free from his binds.
“What are you laughing about? Do you know just how ugly you look when you smile?!” Zuiying looked at Xu Ziling with hostility all over his face.
Xu Ziling instantly gritted her teeth in anger, then picked up a rock and chucked it at Zuiying.
“Ah! You wretched woman! Can’t you change it up? Aren’t you bored of throwing rocks at me all day?” Said Zui Ying in dissatisfaction.
