"Your Majesty is too kind. I have always kept in mind the rules of the inner palace, and I will never forget the hierarchy."
Qi Muxiao didn't want to have much interaction with Situ Xue, but Situ Xue was determined to cause trouble, so there was no way to avoid her.
"Heh, you haven't forgotten?"
Situ Xue scoffed and raised her hand to slap Qi Muxiao's face. Her fingers were covered with nail guards, sharp and long. If this slap landed on Qi Muxiao's face, it would probably leave several bloody marks.
Seeing this, Mo Shisheng raised her short leg and kicked Situ Xue hard in the back of her knee. Situ Xue lost her balance and was about to fall towards Qi Muxiao, but Mo Shisheng gently pulled Qi Muxiao away.
Situ Xue fell face down to the ground. Fortunately, the heavy snowfall did not disfigure her face; she only suffered from a mouthful of ice and snow in the freezing cold.
When the palace servants saw Situ Xue fall, they rushed forward to help her up. Situ Xue was furious and pointed at Mo Shisheng, saying, "How dare you kick me!"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Mo Shisheng glanced at Situ Xue indifferently and denied it.
Qi Muxiao: "..."
She thought she just saw Mo Shisheng kick Situ Xue, but Mo Shisheng's expression didn't seem to be lying. Could she have imagined it?
"How dare you! I saw you kick it!"
Situ Xue was so angry that her breathing became unsteady, and she pointed at Mo Shisheng with one hand.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng looked up at Situ Xue's successful attack and frowned slightly. "That finger is pointing at me."
"..."
For some reason, the words spoken by this child, who was not even three years old, carried such a powerful aura. Situ Xue withdrew her hand and cursed fiercely, "Just like that bitch Shangguan Yan."
Shangguan Yan?
Who is it?
Mo Shisheng looked bewildered, not understanding who Situ Xue was cursing. She still denied it outright, saying, "You just saw it wrong."
"you!"
"You probably lost your balance and fell because you were trying to hit the Imperial Concubine."
Before Situ Xue could speak, Mo Shisheng continued, "Your Majesty, I've said it before, don't cause me trouble. In the end, you'll only suffer the consequences."
"Ha, do you guys have a death wish?"
Situ Xue sneered, turning her gaze to Qi Muxiao, "As a Noble Consort, you dare to refuse to kneel and pay your respects to me and call that respecting the rules of the harem? And you, Mo Shisheng, although the Emperor dotes on you, you can't treat me like a fool. Do you really think I didn't see you kick me just now?"
"Your Majesty, please don't try to intimidate me with your status. I won't admit it without evidence."
Mo Shisheng remained expressionless and stopped Qi Muxiao just as she was about to speak. "Besides, the Emperor approved that the Consort does not bow to you. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the Emperor. Why make things difficult for the Consort?"
"So, you think I wouldn't dare to approach the Emperor?"
Situ Xue was furious, feeling that Mo Shisheng was determined to oppose her. Looking at Mo Shisheng's miniature, delicate face, her anger intensified.
"Of course you dare to do that. You can even smear a child who's not even three years old. What else wouldn't you do?"
Mo Shisheng's lips curled slightly, and a deep look that seemed out of place for her age flashed in her eyes.
Situ Xue has caused her trouble countless times, but she never gets anything in return. She just doesn't understand why Situ Xue is as troublesome as an unkillable cockroach.
