241. Prelude to a Princess's Ascension
It was nearly the fourth night watch when Ye Li, who had fallen asleep in Mo Xiuyao's arms, was finally invited by Princess Anxi to join the other guests in the palace. Although it was frustrating to discuss affairs in the palace instead of returning to their residences to rest at this late hour, no one present would decline the invitation. Everyone understood that the fight had ended, and most likely, Princess Anxi was the ultimate winner. Naturally, they all wanted to be the first to enter the palace to secure more benefits for themselves.
Mo Xiuyao initially wanted Ye Li to go back and rest, but she decided to visit the palace once more, remembering that the King of Nanzhao was still hidden somewhere inside.
