Ming Mei lowered her head: "Nothing's the matter."
She cried for almost an entire night, as if all the tears of her lifetime had been shed last night, so her eyes were still somewhat swollen and her voice was hoarse and unrecognizable.
"Yesterday..."
Ming Mei interrupted him: "Yesterday, it was me who got you involved."
"You shouldn't say that, it was my lack of proper planning. To kill Lady Wangyue, indeed, we shouldn't have done it in the royal palace, it was my lack of careful scheming."
Ming Mei was silent for a while before saying: "Shen Nie... Sometimes, it's not your fault, you don't need to keep blaming yourself. It's me... I was too eager for revenge."
Ming Mei's voice was husky, with a desolate tone, as if in one night, she had been wounded all over by the world.
Shen Nie's heart ached for her, watching the girl he had seen grow up turn into this, which was not the outcome he wanted to see.
Shen Nie said: "You did nothing wrong, it was never your fault."
