Si Chu finally made up his mind and refused to agree to Mingshu's request.
It was for no other reason than that this was simply not a good time; he was busy dealing with a few old rats who had sneaked into the Capital and naturally couldn't watch her every moment. The more people, the easier it was for chaos to ensue, and not allowing Mingshu to go out was also for her sake.
That very night, no sooner had Si Chu left the Palace than a carriage sneaked out right behind him.
"Are you sure His Majesty has left the Palace?"
Yun Zhi nodded firmly, her face full of certainty, "This servant saw with her own eyes!"
"He doesn't let me out but sneaks out himself, how preposterous!" Mingshu bit her lip, her expression a mix of sorrow and anger, "Fine then, he's really gone to meet with some other young lady behind my back!"
Yun Zhi's face showed a shared sense of outrage as she clenched her fist, "His Majesty has gone too far!"
Mingshu: "See, even you think it's excessive, don't you?"
