Jie's brow twitched,
"Why do you think Lord Mo Xie is investigating something?"
Lanlan thought for a moment and said,
"I asked the old court lady in the palace. Previously, when the Demon King's consorts left the Royal Palace, the succeeding Demon Kings would generously give them money and gifts. This time, not only did Lord Mo Xie not give anything, but he also sent you to guard the palace gates to conduct searches. Is he afraid the consorts might take something from the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Jie looked at her with profound eyes,
"Oh...What thing? What do you think it might be?"
Lanlan shook her head, looking surprised,
"I was asking you, how did it turn into you asking me?"
After asking the question, the two of them locked eyes, large eyes staring at small ones, each seeing exploration and suspicion in the other's eyes. After a long pause, they simultaneously turned their faces away. Lanlan, acting indifferent, said,
"Let's eat!"
"Mm..."
