Shi Wu never asked her what she had done, nor did he ask what her identity was in Qianqi Tower. He just stood by Shi Li's side all the time.

Her safety is more important than anything else.

Seeing her coming out of Zhiyan Palace, he didn't ask a single question.

Shi Li couldn't help being curious, so she tilted her head and asked him, "Don't you want to know what I just did?"

"Curious." Shi Wu lowered his head and touched his scabbard, then smiled knowingly at Shi Li, "Would you like to tell me?"

Shi Wu did not lie.

He was curious about every aspect of Shi Li, but he resisted the urge to ask anything unless Shi Li wanted to say it herself.

"She and I are going to play a big game of chess."

Shi Li said as she walked forward. The moonlight stretched her shadow so long that she could step on it with every step. She was thinking about whether to reveal her identity, but she hadn't made up her mind.

Maybe if Shi Wu pressed her harder, she would tell him. But he didn't ask her anything, leaving her to struggle alone.

The palace seemed very lonely after the curfew.

Shi Li and Shi Wu had long been accustomed to the patrol times and routes of the palace guards. They were not worried about being discovered at all and walked on the roads in the deep palace as if they were strolling in a garden.

Shi Wu didn't continue to ask, and Shi Li couldn't help but think a lot.

When she was almost back to the little princess's bedroom, she finally stopped and looked back at Shi Wu. Shi Wu also stopped in her steps and looked at her.

"I haven't thought about getting married, but I can try dating." Shi Li said with a smile, not caring whether Shi Wu could understand her or not. Her eyebrows were curved, and she looked even more beautiful under the moonlight.

Shi Wu really didn't understand what "falling in love" meant, but looking at Shi Li's expression, he vaguely understood what she meant. He was shocked at first, then happy, and subconsciously took a step closer to her.

Shi Li didn't shy away and waited for him to come up to her. She tiptoed over and gave him a kiss on the lips.

Shi Wu became even more stunned, as if he couldn't even blink, staring at her blankly.

"Let's go, let's go. If you don't go back to sleep, it will be dawn." Shi Li ignored him and turned around to continue walking forward.

It’s not that I’m shy, I just think Shi Wu is really cute like this, and I’m afraid I’ll laugh out loud if I don’t leave.

Shi Wu took a while to react and followed after him stupidly.

Life must go on.

The little princess was very depressed for a few days. She didn't even have the interest to go out and play. She stayed quietly in her bedroom for a few days.

Shi Li couldn't bear to see her like that. It was Zhiyan who took advantage of an innocent person, so she thought of a few games to coax her into playing, and finally made the little princess smile again.

However, since she was so abnormal that she even skipped meals, Madam Yu would naturally know about it. Before evening, she came to the little princess's palace in person.

"Mother." The little princess looked at Madam Yu in surprise, jumped off the couch and walked in front of her, blinking her big eyes, "Why are you here, mother?"

"I heard that you didn't eat much, so I naturally came to take a look."

Madam Yu loved her little daughter to her core and didn't let her get involved in any gossip. She just lowered her head and gently held her hand, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or are you unhappy?"

The little princess pursed her lips and shook her head gently, "I'm fine, I was just a little scared yesterday, mother, don't worry, sometimes Li plays with me, I'm much better."

Hearing this, Madam Yu tilted her head to look at Shi Li and nodded approvingly, "Well done."

"Thank you, ma'am." Shi Li answered modestly with her head lowered.

But Madam Yu was still worried about the little princess. Even though she still had a lot of things to deal with and plan, she still stayed with her for a few hours, and only left after she had dinner with her and gave her some instructions.

The little princess walked her to the door and watched her leave. Then she suddenly turned around and said to Shi Li, "I think I'd better not play with Purple Beauty anymore."

Shi Li was slightly startled and looked at the little princess' serious face.

Everyone's growth may happen in an instant, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad because of one thing.

This was something Zhiyan had also thought of. Feeling guilty towards the little princess, she asked a palace maid to send the silk cord she had made herself to the little princess, with the message that it was an apology for scaring her.

The little princess played with the net in her hand for a while, then thanked the person sent by Zhiyan with a smile and gave the person a few golden melon seeds.

After the people left, the little princess' smile faded, and she handed the necklace to Shi Li, "Give it to you, wear it and play with it."

Shi Li subconsciously caught the silk string, glanced at the little princess, and sighed quietly in her heart.

Born in this deep palace, no one can remain pure and innocent forever.
