The iron cage was very large, requiring eight people to move it.
It remained parked in the very center of the main hall. Once it was firmly in place, the eight people immediately withdrew.
"Miss Mo."
Nan Chen's gaze fell on Mo Shisheng, like a hunter spotting his prey; the aggression in his eyes was too obvious.
This sound drew the attention of everyone in the hall to Mo Shisheng.
Qi Muxiao also sensed that something was wrong, but she was still very afraid of Nan Chen and dared not look at him. She could only hold Mo Shisheng's hand during the meal, her brows tightly furrowed.
Mo Shisheng remained silent, raised her eyes, and coldly swept her gaze over Nan Chen.
Receiving Mo Shisheng's gaze, Nan Chen's lips curled slightly, "Would you please, Miss Mo, lift that black cloth and show everyone the generous gift sent by your Qi Kingdom?"
His smile gradually widened, becoming so sinister that it sent chills down one's spine.
Mo Shisheng knew perfectly well that the cage contained nothing good, but she had no choice but to do as Nan Chen instructed.
Withdrawing her gaze, she gently stood up from her seat and slowly walked towards the cage. Without the slightest hesitation, she pulled up a corner of the black cloth and completely lifted it.
As the black cloth covering the cage was lifted, everyone could see clearly what was inside.
"Aren't those the Protector General and the prince of Qi Kingdom?"
Someone recognized the person inside the cage and gasped in surprise.
Mo Shisheng looked at the two people inside the cage, tortured beyond recognition, her eyes filled with icy coldness.
One of the hands, hidden beneath the cloak, clenched into a fist, and the eyes lowered slightly.
Shangguan Xuan, Qi Yufeng, are you two idiots?
"The Crown Prince's concubine has fainted! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up!"
As Peony cried out, the Southern Emperor frowned in disgust and waved for his men to take Qi Muxiao away.
"Miss Mo."
Mo Shisheng was called by name again. She looked at the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. He had a gentle appearance, and Nan Xiao looked a lot like him.
On the surface, he might seem like a gentle person, but Mo Shisheng did not miss the darkness that flashed in his eyes.
This kind of person is even more terrifying than Nan Chen, who puts his evil on the surface. He is like a venomous snake, lurking in the shadows, waiting for you to lower your guard before pouncing and biting your neck off.
A chill ran up from the soles of her feet, and a sudden gust of wind swept in from outside. Mo Shisheng raised her hand to pull her cloak tighter.
"Having heard of your deeds in Qi, I'll avenge you. What do you say?"
After the emperor of the Southern Kingdom finished speaking, he laughed loudly, "Miss Mo, you are a distinguished guest of the Southern Kingdom. What do you think of this gift?"
A gift?
Oh.
Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the emotions in them, and then spoke softly.
"I think it's great."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people at the banquet immediately erupted in an uproar.
"How can this Miss Mo, with her stunningly beautiful appearance, be so vicious at heart?"
What do you mean?
"Don't you know? She was an orphan, but was taken in and raised by the Shangguan family of Qi Kingdom. In the end, she personally slaughtered the entire Shangguan family! Now, only Shangguan Xuan is left, and she still won't let him go!"
"Actually, she had no choice in the matter. The Emperor's intention was to avenge her; perhaps he had some hidden difficulties?"
"What hardship is there! He's nothing but an ingrate, as disgusting as a rat crossing the street. How can someone like that deserve to live?"
