At first, she looked down on Qi Yue for climbing over the wall and sneaking into her room, but now she has become one of them.

After waking up, Shen Yun was considerate enough to let her wash up and eat before questioning her.

"You went to Prince Chen's Mansion so late yesterday, and when you came back this morning you were drunk and had changed your clothes. Tell me the truth, did you and His Highness Prince Chen..."

"What are you thinking about!" Xiao Mo reached out and tapped her forehead: "He fell and dislocated his arm. Plus it was a holiday, so he asked me to stay there for a drink, and he ended up drinking too much."

Shen Yun smiled wickedly, "I accidentally drank too much~ This is not like your character. Didn't you do anything after you got drunk?"

"He's a paraplegic now, what can he do? And what about the wine? It had no effect at first, but it became intense afterward."

"Hey, he's a paraplegic now. Hey, what if he was healthy?"

Xiao Mo pinched Shen Yun's face in annoyance and said through gritted teeth, "We're not married yet, how can we have such close contact?"

Shen Yun pouted and rubbed the painful spot on her face: "It doesn't matter if it happened. You two could have gotten married anyway."

"Are you itchy?"

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Shen Yun quickly changed the subject: "So, when you got drunk, did you pull my brother over and ask him to be your concubine, just like you did at the bonfire celebration after the victory of the war?"

When talking about this, Xiao Mo got goosebumps all over her body, and Shen Yun found it extremely funny.

She remembered that Shen Hanzhou's face turned pale with fright.

Because Xiao Mo had made military achievements at that time, if he really took him into the backyard after returning to the imperial city, no one would say anything.

Fortunately, when she woke up the next day, she returned to her usual cold self and never mentioned the matter again. Otherwise, Shen Hanzhou would not have dared to come back with her.

Seeing Xiao Mo remain silent, Shen Yun's eyes widened and she stood up in disbelief: "Did you really say that? To whom? Prince Chen or Ling Su?"

"Qi Minxiu, I even pulled his hair and vomited all over him. Cough, I won't dare to see him anymore."

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Miss, Miss, you are going to make me laugh to death. I really want to know what expression Your Highness had at that time, hahahaha..."

"Are you laughing at me? Come here!"

"I don't...ah, hahaha."

The two of them were playing and joking, and didn't even notice when Murong Shu walked into the room.

She looked at the two of them with a stern expression, her tone not as friendly as usual: "Mo'er, when did you come back?"

The two people were shocked when they heard the voice, and Shen Yun quickly put away her smile and stepped forward to salute.

Xiao Mo smiled and pulled her over to sit aside: "I came back last night, but it was too late so I didn't bother you."

Murong Shu stared at her for a while, half-believing and half-doubting, and finally could only sigh inwardly: "What's the big deal? Why did you volunteer to treat Prince Chen's leg for no reason?"

"He has regained feeling in his legs. It's only a matter of time before he can walk normally. If he's willing to work hard and train more, he'll be able to walk like a normal person in two or three months."

Xiao Mo proudly showed off her medical skills, but was poured cold water on the next second.

"Who asked you this, Mo'er? Answer your mother, do you like the Seventh Prince?"

Murong Shu's anxious tone made Xiao Mo nervous: "No, I don't like him."

"You are an unmarried girl, and you go to the palace of a prince who has no wife or concubine every day, and occasionally even stay overnight. How can you be so indecent."

She looked at Xiao Mo angrily. Xiao Mo knew that she was concerned about her reputation, so she patiently explained, "This is a special permission from the Emperor. Others dare not make irresponsible comments."

"But this is against the rules! Mo'er, why on earth do you have to meddle in such trivial matters?"

"I want to challenge myself and see if what I learned from my master can save someone who has already been paralyzed."

Looking at the gleam in her eyes, Murong Shu suddenly felt that she didn't seem to understand her at all.

When she just came back, Xiao Mo had a cold temper and an aura of keeping strangers away that enveloped her whole body.

Everyone in the mansion, including her, thought that she had a hard time outside and her personality was inevitably introverted and weak.

But after seeing her deal with Lin and others quickly and efficiently, she realized that she had been well educated.

Later, she returned from the war, and she was more approachable, and the distance between us became much closer.

During the time they spent together at home, she thought she had understood her, but now it seemed that it was not enough.

"Mo'er, the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince have both asked the Emperor to marry you. What are you thinking? Can you tell your mother?"

Murong Shu asked Xiao Mo in a tentative tone, and added the last sentence for fear that she didn't want to say it.

Xiao Mo could see her worry and gave her a reassuring smile: "The emperor naturally has his considerations for not agreeing. Even if he agrees in the future, I still have a way."

"The palace is like a deep sea, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Mother doesn't want you to suffer for the rest of your life."

Not to mention the royal palace, even the prime minister's residence with a little power is not as simple as it seems.

Palace fighting and family fighting are things that women cannot avoid in their lives.

Although Xiao Mo did not understand these principles as deeply as Murong Shu, she also knew them.

She lightly put away the smile on her face, only slightly curling the corners of her mouth, "Everyone has their own destiny. Mother, there is no need to worry too much about things that haven't happened yet. Although I can't guarantee that I will be happy in the future, I will do my best to live a life that I like."

"You mean you don't like either of them now?"

When hearing this question, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment: "Hmm."

"But you'll be nineteen next month. If you don't get married soon, you'll become an old maid."

Murong Shu observed her expression and saw that she was not unhappy, so she continued, "Look at Xiao Xiang, she is one year younger than you, and Lin is so worried."

Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a wry smile: "How can I be considered an old maid? Look at Concubine Chang De in the palace. Wasn't she twenty-five when she entered the palace? Wasn't she still extremely honored and favored?"

"Then how many people are there like Concubine De?" Murong Shu was dissatisfied with her idea and asked her back.

Xiao Mo bit her lip and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "You just said you didn't want me to get married, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"When did I say I wouldn't let you get married? I just don't want you to marry someone related to the royal family. If there are other people of equal status, you can still consider them."

"From what you said, you already have someone in mind? Who?"
