"you……"
Situ Xue's eyes flickered for a moment, then she straightened her back and sneered, "Even so, what can you do? Your Qi Kingdom is already a prisoner. Do you think you can be a distinguished guest in the Southern Kingdom for the rest of your life?"
"I've never thought about it for a lifetime."
Mo Shisheng smiled coldly, a hint of icy coldness emanating from his eyes, "A little while is enough time to torment you to death."
"..."
Mo Shisheng's words were like a snake flicking its cold tongue, coiling around Situ Xue's neck, and fear spread from the depths of her heart.
She had witnessed Mo Shisheng's methods and knew that Mo Shisheng meant what she said. If she angered Mo Shisheng now, it would not do her any good!
However, Situ Xue still cared about her reputation. If she let Mo Shisheng off the hook, where would she put her pride?
Just then, the maid who had been ordered by Mo Shisheng to pour hot water came over with a steaming cup in her hands, holding it with trembling hands and handing it to Mo Shisheng.
Mo Shisheng didn't intend to make things difficult for anyone else. She reached out, took the cup of hot water, smelled it, and then gave it to Shaoyao, saying, "Feed her to finish it."
"yes."
Peony didn't dare to delay, and quickly fed the water to Qi Muxiao.
Mo Shisheng glanced sideways at Qi Muxiao, "Can you walk?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Muxiao leaned weakly against the peony, nodded, and didn't even have the strength to speak.
Seeing that Qi Muxiao was in great pain, Mo Shisheng put away the whip and said, "Let's go."
With Mo Shisheng's words, Shaoyao helped Qi Muxiao walk out, while Mo Shisheng stood there and took a deep look at Situ Xue before turning around and following Shaoyao and the others away.
Watching their figures disappear from sight, Situ Xue angrily slapped the maid who had just gone to pour hot water across the face. "Who told you, you lowly maid, to pour hot water when I didn't even say so? Do you have a death wish?"
The maid's face was slapped hard to the side, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't dare to say a word. She stood in front of Situ Xue, her body trembling violently with fear.
When they returned to Qi Muxiao's palace, Shaoyao quickly put hot water into the bathtub.
Mo Shisheng reached out and pulled the screen over to place in front of the bathtub, while Shaoyao served Qi Muxiao inside.
Having just been harassed by Situ Xue, kneeling in the snow for so long in only thin clothes, anyone would have been unable to endure it, let alone Qi Muxiao, whose health was not good.
Mo Shisheng was also exhausted. She sat down gently on the soft couch and asked, "Why would Situ Xue suddenly target you?"
"..."
Qi Muxiao sat in the bathtub, the hot water enveloping her, and her strength gradually returned, but she still felt cold, and her body trembled slightly underwater.
His voice stammered, "Because...because of last night...last night's banquet..."
"banquet"
"Um……"
Qi Muxiao took a deep breath. "She was unwell last night, so the Crown Prince asked me to accompany her to the banquet... She harbored resentment, so she took advantage of the opportunity this morning to make trouble for me."
Is that so?
A woman's jealousy is truly terrifying.
Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on one spot. Her voice was almost ethereal, "Qi Muxiao, Situ Xue still has Situ Guo as her backer. You have nothing left. You can only rely on Nan Xiao."
"I...I know..."
When Qi Muxiao answered this question, her eyes quietly reddened.
