In the following two days, Si Chu did not come to Jingren Palace, and by then, Mingshu had not sensed anything amiss.
She was held back by something.
On this day, Mingshu was lounging by the window, basking in the sun, while palace maids busied themselves with their tasks outside. Yun Zhi, that girl, had also vanished somewhere to slack off.
The warm sunlight draped over her, making her feel so lethargic and drowsy that her eyelids began to droop.
In a moment of distraction, she perceived a shadow falling in front of her and subconsciously squinted to look, only to find a person standing silently before her, with an indifferent face staring down at her.
Mingshu jolted upright, nearly plummeting to the floor in her nervousness.
