1826 Arriving at Empire City 5 (2/2)
Qi Mo snorted and grasped Mu Xuexin's hand with one hand while his other hand aimed for her chest.
This move caused Mu Xuexin to be completely enraged. She mercilessly stomped on Qi Mo's foot and took advantage of the moment that Qi Mo retracted his hand in pain to fling her hand toward him.
With a slap, the whole world turned tranquil.
Qi Mo was taken back. He did not expect Mu Xuexin to actually hit him.
His temper rose as well, and he viciously glared at her. ”Mu Xuexin, do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you simply because you are a princess of the Imperial Family? Didn't you use to ride roughshod over everyone precisely because your father the Emperor spoiled you? Let me tell you, the current Imperial Family is Consort Qin's domain! If the Emperor dies, then Consort Qin's son will logically become the next emperor!”
Mu Xuexin's eyes widened and her body trembled from anger. ”You… you are impertinent!”
”Impertinent? So what? It's not like your father the Emperor will ever recover! The imperial physicians have determined that he won't stay alive for more than a few months! But a kingdom can't lack a ruler. I will be the little Emperor's cousin in the future, and you will scamper to curry my favor!”
It was unsurprising that Qi Mo would say that. His little male cousin was the Emperor's only son, so he was the next in line to be the emperor.
As soon as the Emperor died, the Imperial Family would be under the Qi Family's control.
”Father Emperor won't die! If you curse him again, I won't spare you!” Mu Xuexin's face was deathly pale, and her body was trembling as though she would fall over at any second.
Qi Mo sneered. ”Mu Xuexin, I reckon you still don't know that Consort Qin has already bestowed you as a concubine to me. You will be nothing more than a little concubine of mine from now on! Do you still think you are the high and mighty Princess? What right do you have to run your mouth off in front of me?”Imperial concubine and noble lady are titles for court ladies, consort > imperial concubine > noble lady
