"Never mind, I'll go by myself."
Mo Shisheng sighed softly and released Xiu's ear.
"No!"
Jiang Ge, Jiang Yao, and Xiu almost unanimously shook their heads in refusal, but their refusal had no effect.
In the end, Mo Shisheng settled the three of them in an inn, while she went to the Qi Kingdom Palace alone.
To avoid trouble, she used her supernatural ability directly. She had roughly figured out the terrain of the Qi Kingdom's palace. Thinking that Qi Jingling was probably in the Zichen Palace at this time, she went there without any trouble.
There was only one eunuch guarding the door. Mo Shisheng moved like a ghost behind the eunuch, knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck, and then pushed open the door and went inside.
Qi Jingling was sitting on the dragon throne reviewing memorials when he heard the door open. His voice carried a hint of displeasure as he said, "I'm busy. Who gave you permission to..."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the person who had come, all the words he was about to say stopped in his throat, and he could not utter a sound.
Mo Shisheng, dressed in white, stood in the luxurious Zichen Palace, her cold demeanor clashing with the warmth of the palace.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Even though Mo Shisheng was standing at the bottom of the steps, her unruly and arrogant aura was still a notch above Qi Jingling's.
She slightly raised her chin, her neck possessing a graceful curve, exuding arrogance and haughtiness.
"I never expected you to return to Qi Kingdom."
Qi Jingling was only shocked for a moment. After all, he was a man who had seen the world. He gently placed the memorial on the table and his gaze fell lightly on the girl. "What brings you here today?"
Mo Shisheng smiled slightly, glancing at Qi Jingling. The past events seemed vivid in her mind, as if they had not yet faded away.
Pulling her thoughts back from the brink of wandering, Mo Shisheng spoke softly, "You've met my mother, my biological mother."
This sentence is both a declarative sentence and an affirmative sentence.
Qi Jingling, seated on the throne, stiffened slightly, then a faint smile appeared on his lips. "How could I possibly have met your biological mother? You were taken in and raised by Shangguan Leiting, only brought back to the Shangguan residence when you were already six years old. I merely..."
"Qi Jingling, your smile looks stiff."
Mo Shisheng spoke coldly, stopping his long-winded explanation, and continued, "You know, when people lie, they subconsciously want to explain and try to cover it up, just like you are now."
"..."
Perhaps not expecting Mo Shisheng's words to be so resolute, Qi Jingling's face darkened. "Mo Shisheng, now that I'm speaking to you so kindly, you should..."
"Should we be grateful?"
Mo Shisheng knew that someone of Qi Jingling's high position must hate being interrupted, so she repeatedly cut him off.
"Qi Jingling, you should know that the superpowers I possess are not limited to those you've seen. I can control everything you can't even imagine or touch. Although the Qi Kingdom is outwardly peaceful, do you want to know where your most precious Second Prince Qi Yufeng and Protector General Shangguan Xuan are?"
Mo Shisheng slowly walked to the side, her gaze falling on the exquisite paintings on the wall. Without looking at Qi Jingling's expression, she continued, "Qi Jingling, all I need is my mother's whereabouts, and you definitely have what I need here. If you don't want Qi Kingdom to perish, you'd better tell me."
