"..."
Mo Shisheng's lips twitched. What kind of answer was that?
"I'm asking about that time in Qi Kingdom, the time you took me into the palace..."
Towards the end, Mo Shisheng's voice became a little softer, after all, she couldn't be sure and could only say whatever came to mind based on her memories.
"Li Jiaojiao?"
Ming Beiya has a good memory; when Mo Shisheng mentioned it, he immediately named someone. It wasn't that he wanted to remember unimportant people, but rather that he valued it highly because he thought it could help Mo Shisheng regain her memories.
Li Jiaojiao...
It seems to be her...
*
"It's not that princess, it's her! She, Shangguan Yan, killed my husband and seriously injured my brother! I can't vent this hatred in my heart!"
Li Jiaojiao stood up excitedly after hearing Qi Muxiao's words and pointed at Mo Shisheng, but when she thought of what Mo Shisheng had said earlier, she trembled and withdrew her hand.
The horrific scene of Li Xiao's death was still before her eyes. She knew that if she continued to point at Mo Shisheng, she might really lose her hand.
"Did I, the princess, tell you to get up?"
Qi Muxiao stared coldly at Li Jiaojiao, and after Li Jiaojiao obediently knelt back down, she turned to Mo Shisheng and asked, "Is what she said true?"
Mo Shisheng glanced at Qi Muxiao indifferently, but did not answer.
"How dare you! What kind of attitude is this! You don't kneel before the princess, and you dare not answer her questions?" A palace maid standing next to Qi Muxiao said to Mo Shisheng, "Do you know that you are showing contempt for imperial authority!"
"If I remember correctly, you're just a lowly palace maid. Do you want to die?"
Mo Shisheng's gaze was icy, her eyes slightly narrowed, and the beauty mark under her left eye appeared both alluring and ruthless.
"I...I..."
"Peony, step back."
The palace maid who was reprimanding Mo Shisheng was named Shaoyao. She was so intimidated by the majesty emanating from Mo Shisheng that she couldn't speak. Qi Muxiao then told her to step back.
Qi Muxiao looked at Mo Shisheng with complicated emotions. She could tell that Mo Shisheng was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but even though she, Qi Muxiao, was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, she still did not have the same majesty as Mo Shisheng.
The oppressive aura emanating from Mo Shisheng was so strong that even she felt suppressed. Was she really only at the ninth level of Qi Refining?
Mo Shisheng looked directly at Qi Muxiao and saw the confusion and surprise in her eyes, but she only smiled slightly. The two looked at each other quietly without saying a word.
After a long while, Qi Muxiao turned her gaze to Li Jiaojiao and said, "Get up. I will wait here for the Imperial Advisor to come out, so that you will not cause any more trouble."
"yes……"
Li Jiaojiao's previous shrewish and verbally abusive attitude completely subsided in front of Qi Muxiao. She didn't dare to be disrespectful to Qi Muxiao at all.
The three of them stood guard outside the Golden Palace, each lost in their own thoughts...
A short while later, Ming Beiya walked out of the hall. His steps were light and elegant. His gaze swept over Qi Muxiao and finally landed on Mo Shisheng.
Ming Beiya just stared at Mo Shisheng quietly without saying a word. Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, unsure of his attitude, and pursed her lips, remaining silent.
"Your Excellency, what did the Emperor say?"
Li Jiaojiao was a restless person. Seeing Mo Shisheng and Ming Beiya looking at each other, she had to come in and say something.
"Shut up!"
Qi Muxiao could see the slight displeasure on Ming Beiya's face, so she spoke first to reprimand Li Jiaojiao.
Li Jiaojiao immediately stood obediently to the side and didn't say anything more, but her eyes were filled with anxiety as she kept staring intently at Ming Beiya.
