    Summary

    Wen Kexing stomps through the palace with a face like a stormcloud, scowling at everyone who sees him. He hasn’t been able to find Zhou Zishu for hours, not since he’d let that finance minister’s son kiss his hand in full view of everyone in the great hall. One moment his guard had been standing across the open floor, staring at him through narrowed eyes, then the next he’d disappeared into thin air. Wen Kexing had tried to focus on the little spike of triumph he felt at that - two can play that game he’d thought smugly - though the unease prickling under his skin felt a little too much like guilt for comfort. And given that Wen Kexing has now spent the last several hours wandering very nonchalantly through the palace grounds without glimpsing Zhou Zishu even once, perhaps he should’ve paid better attention to that feeling.

    Sometimes stupid games get you exactly what you want.
