"Who is it?" His hand pressed on the sheath, his voice cold.

"Chu, it's me, Lau Qianqian." Lau Qianqian's voice trembled as she slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

Knowing the relationship between him and Sun Yingyi, and recalling the way he treated her coldly that day, she still felt a lingering fear in her heart.

"What is it?" Zhao Mohan put the sword back in its sheath and asked in a low voice.

"I..." Lau Qianqian pulled on her dress, a trace of hesitation on her face. "What is your relationship with Sun Yingyi?"

"You don't need to know this." Zhao Mohan did not think too much about it and wanted to leave.

"Do you like her?" Lau Qianqian blurted out in a panic.

Zhao Mohan was startled.

It seemed that she knew Sun Yingyi's identity.

"Do I like her?" Zhao Mohan turned around and squinted his eyes. "We just made a deal."

Lau Qianqian watched him walk out and her heartbeat gradually slowed down.

When Sun Yingyi returned to the room, she found that there was no one in the room.

Her hand that was holding the letter trembled and the letter fell to the ground.

Sun Yingyi bent down to pick it up. Under the bright moonlight, a black shadow blocked in front of her. She picked it up first and handed it to her.

"Why do you always appear so timely?" Sun Yingyi took the letter from Zhao Mohan and could not help but ask.

"I'm waiting for you." Zhao Mohan looked at her with a smile that even he did not notice.

Sun Yingyi smiled. Her beautiful eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon.

Zhao Mohan was startled.

"This..." Sun Yingyi waved the letter in her hand. "Can you pass it to Qiao Yu for me?"

Zhao Mohan seemed to have thought of something and his movements froze.

Sun Yingyi retracted her hand and stared straight at him. She asked, "Did you hide something from me?"

Zhao Mohan did not expect her to ask this. He curled the corner of his mouth as if he was mocking himself.

In front of her, all his disguises and hypocrisy were useless.

Even he did not know when he would reveal his thoughts in front of others.

Seeing that he did not speak, Sun Yingyi understood. She tried her best to suppress her trembling voice. "Did something happen to my brother?"

Zhao Mohan glanced at her. She lowered her head and the letter was pulled out by her fingertips.

"I'm sorry." Zhao Mohan did not know what to say to comfort her. It was the first time he felt that it was a pity that he did not have the power.

If he had been favored and valued by the emperor from the beginning, would the result have been different?

Sun Yingyi felt her vision blur. She lowered her head in a place where the moonlight could not reach. She sniffed her red nose and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. However, she could not control herself.

No.

She had not properly said goodbye to him, had not properly repay him for taking care of her for so many years, and had not lived a carefree and carefree life with him...

Her mother was still waiting for them to go back home, but he had already left.

Even though she had thought about it, it was still too unrealistic.

Just as she was secretly wiping away her tears, her body suddenly fell into a hug.

It was warm.

Sun Yingyi was stunned and could no longer hold back her tears. She leaned against the person in front of her and cried.

Not far away, Lau Qianqian, who wanted to go back to her room, stopped when she saw this scene. Her eyes were filled with anger and jealousy.

This woman who did not know what was good for her...

Lau Qianqian tightly grabbed her dress. The cuts on her white dress were especially striking. She bit her lower lip and felt that the scene in front of her was too glaring. She turned her head and left in anger.

"Are you feeling better?" A gentle voice sounded from above her head as if she had been trying for a long time.

Sun Yingyi's breathing was still hurried. She left his embrace and nodded. "Thank you."

In fact, she did not expect him to do this. However, she was still very grateful to him.

"Right, the letter." Sun Yingyi handed the letter to Zhao Mohan. "Please help me pass it to her."

No matter what, she was still very grateful to Qiao Yu. Even though they had only met once, she was different from other people. Being able to treat her so well and making her feel a trace of warmth from the human world was very satisfying.

Zhao Mohan took it and said, "Okay."

After a while, his gaze fell on the direction that Lau Qianqian had stopped at and said slowly, "Lau Qianqian, you should be careful."

Sun Yingyi was startled when she heard this. Although she could sense the meaning behind his words, she was still puzzled.

From her interactions with Lau Qianqian these few days, Sun Yingyi felt that she was just an arrogant and spoiled young lady.

She didn't know how to behave and had a high cultivation level. She was a difficult character to deal with.

Although that was the case, Sun Yingyi never thought about dealing with Lau Qianqian in the same academy. Firstly, Lau Qianqian was the daughter of the principal. Secondly, she did not want to compete with Lau Qianqian.

Therefore, no matter what, she was making a big deal out of nothing.

However, since it was Zhao Mohan's order, Sun Yingyi nodded obediently and did as he said, "I understand."

In any case, Zhao Mohan would not harm her. It was right to do as he said.

Sun Yingyi had already believed in his words.

"Since that's the case, I'll go first. When the letter is delivered to her, I'll naturally come back and tell you." The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. After a short exchange of gazes, Zhao Mohan rubbed his nose and put the letter into his pocket.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while?"

Sun Yingyi didn't know why she said that. When she said it, she felt that something was wrong. She was secretly annoyed that she was too quick to say it.

Seeing this, Zhao Mohan smiled and said, "I've already rested. Thank you for your hospitality." It seemed that he did not take it to heart.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Mohan disappeared from Sun Yingyi's sight.

The cold moonlight shone through the window and reflected Sun Yingyi's figure. She took a deep breath and felt that the temperature in the room had dropped significantly.

At this moment, Lau Qianqian, who was only one wall away from her, had a completely different mentality from Sun Yingyi.

She frowned and stared at the direction of the wall. Her eyes seemed to be on fire, as if she would burn a hole in the wall before she would be satisfied. She swore in her heart that she would definitely catch Sun Yingyi's tail and make her leave the Imperial Hospital.

This was for her own status and also for Zhao Mohan.

She was willing to pay any price for it.

Zhao Mohan, who had just come out of Sun Yingyi's room, wanted to return home, but he unknowingly arrived in front of Qiao Yu's palace door. He stopped and looked at the door, then let out a sigh that was so soft that it could not be heard.

It was obvious that he could have sent the letter anytime, but there was no need to be in such a hurry. Zhao Mohan did not understand why he was so concerned about this.

However, since he had already arrived, there was no reason for him to turn back. Thus, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the palace door.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, Zhao Mohan was stopped by a guard.

Facing his doubtful gaze, the guard replied without the slightest fear, "The Holy Emperor has ordered that the Imperial Consort's feet are forbidden, and no one is allowed to look at her during this period of time. In such a late night, Third Prince, please return."

Seeing the attitude of this person, although Zhao Mohan was used to it, he could not help but feel angry. If one were to talk about it, it could only be said that this guard was unlucky to have bumped into a gunpowder.

"What? The Third Prince's words are not as important as the other princes, so you, a small guard, can also show off in front of me?"

The Third Prince, Zhao Mohan, was a joke in Mautrem. Anyone could look down on him, but Zhao Mohan did not want to ignore the attitude of these people today.
