Country E, a palace?
Mu Xiang Ning was taken aback. Why would Jin Chengzhi be in that place?
She turned her eyes back to Chi Zaozao, her surprise evident as she asked, "Zaozao, you... you don't have any involvement with the Country E Royal Family, do you?"
Chi Zaozao gave a cold glance to Mu Xiang Ning, silent.
Wen Yi signaled to Mu Xiang Ning, warning her not to ask such a sensitive question. She quickly changed the subject and asked Chi Zaozao, "Zaozao, are you feeling better? The wound on your forehead..."
Wen Yi reached out to touch the scar on her forehead, but Chi Zaozao subtly dodged it, replying indifferently, "I am fine, no need for your concern."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
After a while, Mu Xiang Ning spoke up again, "Zaozao, won't you forgive me?"
