"Um."
Ming Beiya nodded slightly in response.
At this moment, the simple carriage that Li Jiaojiao was riding in stopped outside the palace. Because of Ming Beiya, Mo Shisheng also entered through the main gate.
The main gate is magnificent and resplendent, and every corner exudes majesty and luxury.
Ming Beiya led Mo Shisheng and Li Jiaojiao directly towards the Golden Palace.
Mo Shisheng looked up at the sky; it was almost evening. Qi Jingling should be in the Golden Palace processing memorials at this hour, right?
The eunuch guarding outside the Golden Palace saw Ming Beiya and immediately announced in a high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor is requesting an audience outside the Golden Palace."
"pass."
Qi Jingling's powerful voice echoed from inside the hall. Ming Beiya glanced indifferently at Mo Shisheng and said, "Wait outside."
"..."
Mo Shisheng glanced at him lightly, but remained silent.
Instead, Li Jiaojiao, who was standing next to Mo Shisheng, couldn't stand it anymore. Her face was full of anxiety. "What about me? Grand Preceptor, please take me in too!"
Ming Beiya ignored Li Jiaojiao's words and walked towards the Golden Palace.

After Ming Beiya went inside, Zhuque also stood guard outside the Golden Palace, leaving only Li Jiaojiao and Mo Shisheng standing facing each other at the bottom of the steps.
Li Jiaojiao's eyes blazed with hatred. "Shangguan Yan, you killed my husband. Do you think I'll let you get away with this?"
Mo Shisheng raised her eyes and glanced at Li Jiaojiao. Her face showed no sadness, only hatred. "Is that so?"
"Don't think you have the Shangguan family as your backer! I'll let you know that the Li family is not to be trifled with!" Li Jiaojiao shouted at Mo Shisheng with her hands on her hips, looking exactly like a shrew from the streets.
In contrast, Mo Shisheng stood quietly to the side, wearing a light blue gauze dress and a silver mask on her face. Night fell, and the clouds and mountains stretched as far as the eye could see.
Even such a beautiful scene could only serve as a backdrop behind Mo Shisheng, who lazily played with her long hair in front of her chest with both hands, looking extremely relaxed.
Seeing Mo Shisheng's indifferent expression, Li Jiaojiao became even angrier. She took a step forward, intending to rush up and hit Mo Shisheng, but was stopped by a cold shout.
"stop!"
Qi Muxiao, accompanied by two maids, strode over from the other side. Her pretty face was cold as she looked at Li Jiaojiao, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing that the person who came was Qi Muxiao, Mo Shisheng slowly withdrew her slender hand into her sleeve, along with the short blade that gleamed coldly.
"Greetings, Princess."
The eunuchs outside the Golden Palace immediately knelt down to greet Qi Muxiao. Qi Muxiao nodded calmly, "Get up."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiaojiao quickly knelt down as well, "Princess, I...I just..."
"You want to hit her, don't you?"
Qi Muxiao could see clearly that Li Jiaojiao had rolled up her sleeves and was obviously about to rush up and hit someone, so she didn't even give Li Jiaojiao a chance to argue.
"I've killed people before, haven't I?"
Mo Shisheng's memories were fragmented and incomplete. When she tried to recall them more deeply, her head would throb with unbearable pain.
However, when she couldn't remember, she felt a strange sense of irritation rising in her heart, so she couldn't help but ask Ming Beiya. After all, he was also a party involved, and it would be good to know something from him to calm her down.
"Quite a few."
Ming Beiya smiled slightly, not knowing which time Mo Shisheng was asking about, and simply gave a teasing reply.
