"He was the Grand Preceptor of the State of Qi at the time."
Qi Muxiao smiled. "I was captivated by his looks the moment I saw him when I was little, and I believed he was my soulmate. But then that girl appeared, shattering all those illusions."
"That girl?"
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on her young face, as if Qi Muxiao had not made his point clear.
“It’s that girl I told you about. You look a lot like her.” Qi Muxiao turned her head slightly to look at Mo Shisheng. “Her appearance made me realize that the Imperial Advisor is not so cold-blooded and ruthless.”
"..."
Being told she resembled someone else made Mo Shisheng feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything, suppressing her discomfort and continuing to listen to Qi Muxiao talk about past events she had never mentioned before.
...
At that time, Mo Shisheng was besieged by three countries and was in dire straits when Nan Chen captured her and brought her back.
Although Nan Chen did not have a firm grasp of power at that time, Nan Xiao's title of Crown Prince was merely a figurehead.
When Mo Shisheng woke up, the first person to visit her was Qi Muxiao, an old friend. Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback when she looked at him.
Then, remembering what Nan Chen had just said about this being the Southern Kingdom, she realized what was going on.
Mo Shisheng really didn't expect that she would come to see him.
Qi Muxiao's eyes also held a hint of doubt as he quickly walked to the bedside and helped Mo Shisheng sit up.
She also sat down on the edge of the bed, her gaze fixed on Mo Shisheng's exquisitely beautiful face.
Qi Muxiao was the most beloved princess of Qi Kingdom, and almost everyone who saw her praised her beauty. But compared to Mo Shisheng, she was like a star compared to the sun.
Qi Muxiao frowned and asked, "How did you end up in the Southern Kingdom?"
"It's a long story."
Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes slightly, suppressing the surging hatred within them.
Feng Yi, what you did to me this time, I will repay you a hundredfold.
Mo Shisheng was such a proud person, yet he had to watch helplessly as his cultivation gradually dissipated. This was truly a double torment for both his body and mind.
"The Imperial Preceptor..."
Qi Muxiao hesitated, then, noticing Mo Shisheng's pale face, changed the subject, "Are you injured?"
"No."
After concealing her emotions, Mo Shisheng looked up at Qi Muxiao and said, "Nanxiao and Nanchen are not irreconcilable enemies. As the Crown Princess of Nanxiao, how can you come to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Muxiao was taken aback for a moment, "I am not the Crown Princess."
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. "Not the Crown Princess?"
"Um."
Qi Muxiao's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Situ Xue from the Situ Kingdom also married into the Southern Kingdom with me. She is the Crown Prince's principal wife, and I am just a concubine."
"..."
Situ Xue also married into the Southern Kingdom, which explains why the Situ Kingdom would also launch an attack on the Qi Kingdom.
Knowing that Mo Shisheng wasn't a woman of many words, Qi Muxiao gently cleared up her doubts, "The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom knows about your special abilities, so Nan Chen brought you back to the Southern Kingdom. Firstly, to gain the Emperor's favor, and secondly, all those in the court who were at odds with the Crown Prince have gone to support Nan Chen."
"Are there only the two of them in the Southern Kingdom?"
Mo Shisheng knew about the conflict between Nan Chen and Nan Xiao. She had overheard Ming Qiancheng and Nan Chen's conversation in the underground royal city.
"yes."
Qi Muxiao nodded, her brows furrowing slightly. "Originally, there was only the Crown Prince. Nan Chen's background was only revealed on the day he brought you back. I was quite surprised that there was suddenly another person like this."
