When Qiuyue looked up again, Mo Xiao had already left.

After a long while, Qiuyue slowly stood up, and seemed unable to hold back, she laughed softly. However, how bitter this smile was, probably only she knew.

Qiuyue took a deep breath and quickly cheered herself up. She had been with Mo Xiao since he left the palace to set up his own residence until he ascended the throne. Over the years, she had always taken care of all the trivial matters for Mo Xiao, and she had always done a good job without making any mistakes.

This time, having the opportunity to return to Mo Xiao's side, Qiuyue told herself in her heart that she must not make any mistakes and must make His Majesty remember her goodness.

So, she didn't have much time to be sad, she still had a lot of things to do.

Qiuyue went to the kitchen personally and asked someone to prepare a few dishes that Mo Xiao liked. After marching for such a long time, Mo Xiao had lost a lot of weight, and Qiuyue was always worried about him.

After giving instructions to the kitchen, Qiuyue turned and went out. As soon as she reached the corner, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into the house.

Qiuyue opened her mouth to shout, but someone covered her mouth. A woman's deliberately low voice came to her ears: "Don't shout, I'm not a bad person, I won't hurt you."

Qiuyue opened her eyes doubtfully, and was met with an extremely bright face.

This is a very beautiful exotic woman.

She had a pair of brown eyes, big and round, and you could clearly see your own reflection in them. She had a high nose bridge, small lips, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was gorgeous. More importantly, this woman's skin was different from any woman Qiuyue had ever seen. This woman's skin was as white as jade and seemed to be glowing.

Seeing Qiuyue looking at her, the woman quickly said: "I am the princess of the royal court and the sister of Tuoba Xuan. I will not hurt you. Can you please stop screaming?"

Qiuyue was silent for a moment and nodded.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief and released his hand that was holding her. Qiuyue immediately retreated to the door and looked at the person in front of her warily: "What do you want to do? Now, your country has been occupied by the imperial army, and your father and brother have been controlled by Tuoba Xuan. Now the entire royal court is under the control of our dynasty. What else do you want to do?"

“I don’t dare!” The other party raised his hands and waved them, saying anxiously, “I really am not here to cause trouble. I just… really want to ask you for a favor.”

Qiuyue frowned and said, "You should go find Tuoba Xuan. After all, he is your elder brother. I am just a nobody and cannot help you."

The woman whispered softly: "Tuoba Xuan hates me so much, he won't help me."

Qiuyue: "Then I can't help you even more."

"You can," the other party looked straight at Qiuyue, "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. I know that you are a woman who deliberately disguised yourself and followed your emperor."

Qiuyue looked calm: "So what?"

"So, you are the emperor's woman, right?" The little princess looked at Qiuyue with sparkling eyes and said, "Your emperor always takes you with him to war, which shows how much he loves you and doesn't want to be separated from you for a moment."

Qiuyue's face was a little cold: "I'm not, I'm just a maid."

"Oh, I understand. You Central Plains women care about your reputation. You must be afraid of being criticized if it gets out, so you tried to cover it up. I understand."

"..."

Qiuyue was speechless for a while, thinking that the little princess in front of her was only beautiful but had an empty head.
