Fourth Master saw that although she was no longer crying, she still wasn't speaking.
He sighed deeply, gripped her shoulders, and said, "Are you trying to gouge out my heart? What more do you want? Tell me, whatever I can do, I've done it all for you."
"No, it's not like that... I just can't manage to smile at the moment. Are you trying to force a smile out of me?" Ye Zao said speechlessly.
No matter what, she felt much more at ease.
Perhaps, crying really is a detox?
Most of the time she couldn't cry, but once the tears came, she felt a great relief.
"I'll take you out of the palace some other day. Where would you like to go? Want to visit Jing Mountain? Or perhaps you'd like to stroll through the streets?" Fourth Master caressed her back.
"I want to wash my face and then properly apply skincare," Ye Zao looked up, pitiful.
"Alright, shall I wash it for you?" Fourth Master said softly.
After she had cried, her eyes were red, looking extremely pitiful.
