Shen He stopped before the Rabbit Clan girl, in front of the glass box. Their figures, one tall and one short, cast shadows that seemed to face off on the ground.
Yu Zhizhi held her breath. She looked up at the man standing against the light, his silhouette veiled in shadow. A faint, yet anything but gentle, smile touched his deep gray eyes:
"Prince You Sen rarely visits the Royal Palace, so you must keep him good company. Tonight, remember to return to Bishui Pavilion to take care of the Little Prince."
With that, Shen He left the Political Hall.
Buli hurried after him.
He saw that his master's expression was grim. Recalling Lord Shen He's earlier words, it seemed he was dead set on giving Miss Rabbit to the Prince Merfolk.
Buli started to second-guess himself—
'I must have been stationed undersea for too long, completely out of touch with the outside world. Miss Rabbit and Prince You Sen must know each other; they probably even used to be very close.'
