Inside the palace.
Nan Xiao, dressed in bright yellow robes, stood in the main hall of the Luanfeng Palace. Situ Xue was still unconscious. He did not know the details of the matter and could only wait for Situ Xue to wake up.
The palace servants said that Mo Shisheng was taken to the side hall by Situ Xue to play. However, the side hall accidentally caught fire. Situ Xue disregarded her health and rushed in to save Mo Shisheng, but ended up fainting and being rescued.
Mo Shisheng is still missing. The side hall was burned to ashes, and her body was nowhere to be found. Given the magnitude of the fire, everyone already suspects that Mo Shisheng was burned to ashes...
However, it wasn't explicitly stated, but Nan Xiao still ordered the entire imperial city to be sealed off, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. Qi Muxiao fainted from excessive grief and was sent back to the Forget-Worry Palace to recuperate.
As night deepened, Situ Xue slowly awoke. The imperial physician hurriedly knelt before Nan Xiao and reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress is perfectly fine. She was just a little frightened. She just needs some rest and some calming medicine."
"Go down."
Nan Xiao spoke softly, his eyes slightly lowered, his expression hidden in the candlelight, making it impossible to see his facial features.
After the imperial physician turned and left, only Situ Xue and him remained in the room.
Situ Xue pursed her lips slightly, her face pale, and said with a wronged tone, "Your Majesty, this concubine..."
"Mo Shisheng is Shangguan Yan."
Before Situ Xue could speak, Nan Xiao said softly, "But you've always thought she was Shangguan Yan's child."
"W-what? Your Majesty, are you confused? How could Mo Shisheng possibly be Shangguan Yan?"
Situ Xue's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, she..."
Do you remember that training trip at Cloud Mist Ridge?
Nan Xiao kept his face down, gently toying with a ring in his hand. His words were calm, yet they carried a hint of unfathomable emotion.
"Cloud Mist Ridge? That's...that's not it..."
“That time, Mo Shisheng, no, back then she was still Shangguan Yan, she was on the same team as me, and when she met you, she took your name tags.”
＊
Back then, brand names represented the qualification to pass the test. Nan Xiao was in the same group as Mo Shisheng. When Mo Shisheng saw Situ Xue, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
Situ Xue is a princess of the Situ Kingdom, and almost everyone present is from the Situ Kingdom. In order to please Situ Xue, they will definitely obey her.
As soon as Situ Xue finished speaking, everyone turned towards Mo Shisheng with fierce expressions.
On the other side, Qingluan used her strength to subdue others and finally handed over her name tag with both hands. She saw Mo Shisheng surrounded by a group of people.
Her expression changed, and as she strode toward Mo Shisheng, the gathering dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and a black curtain shrouded half the sky.
The daytime suddenly turned into the darkness of night, and a tremendous pressure swept over them. Some people couldn't withstand it and collapsed. Mo Shisheng also felt a tightness in her chest and her legs felt weak.
It felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on her back, forcing her to move downwards.
"roar--"
A tremendous roar came, and Mo Shisheng felt as if her eardrums were about to burst.
The roars continued, one after another, and some who were not in good control even had blood spilling from their lips on the spot.
Situ Xue wasn't in much better shape; her face was pale, and she looked like she was in great distress.
Finally, when a white figure leaped into everyone's sight, Situ Xue's face changed, turning ashen, and her body trembled uncontrollably, "It's actually a blue beast soul!"
