Chapter 1102: It’s Just for Fun
Mu Qing almost jumped up. She couldn’t stop herself from asking, “What are you planning now? You want me to go see the crown prince? Are you trying to get the crown prince to target me? I-I’m not going. I’m scared to face the crown prince.”
“Prepare properly. We’ll be going to the crown prince’s residence in two days. You want to be emperor with these kinds of guts? How are you supposed to face the ministers in the future?” Ning Shu closed her eyes to chant the heart-clearing chant.
Mu Qing sighed, then turned around and stomped off angrily.
Court Lady Qiu’s eyes were red as she helped wipe the sweat on Ning Shu’s forehead. “Your Majesty…”
Ning Shu opened her eyes and said indifferently, “We don’t have much longer. We’ll tell Mu Qing to take good care of you.”
Court Lady Qiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed as she said, “Your Majesty, allow this servant to go with you. That way this servant can continue to look after you down below.”
“Don’t be like this. We wish more than anyone to continue living. If you can live, then live. Don’t die.” This Court Lady Qiu was truly loyal to Mu Nichang, so she should arrange a good retirement for Court Lady Qiu.
“This servant is grateful for Your Majesty’s grace.” Court Lady Qiu wiped her tears, then stood back up.
Ning Shu ate a fasting pill to guarantee that her body had enough energy. It was fortunate that she always exchanged for basic life necessities before heading into a task, otherwise she wouldn’t have lasted for this long.
Ning Shu lay down on the bed. These near-death days actually improved the quality of her sleep.
She didn’t know how long she had slept, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Changqing’s beautiful face. The moment she moved, black blood flooded up her throat.
Since Liu Changqing was right next to her, she forced herself to swallow the blood back down, but blood still spilled out the corners of her lips.
When Liu Changqing saw the blood, he took out a neatly folded handkerchief to wipe Ning Shu’s lips. His tone was mournful as he said, “Your Majesty, you’ve vomited blood.”
Ning Shu: …
Of course I know that I vomited blood.
Ning Shu struggled to sit up, then said, “It’s just for fun.”
Liu Changqing put away the bloody handkerchief. His tone was unreadable as he asked, “Mu Nichang, why do you insist on always being so obstinate?”
Ning Shu: Call me Your Majesty the emperor.
Liu Changqing took out a sandalwood box and opened it. There were several small medicinal pills inside that emitted an herbal fragrance.
Ning Shu sniffed, trying to figure out what kind of pill this was, but she could only smell it faintly. Her sense of smell had already been ruined.
This curse not only caused its victim to be in constant pain, as it spread, the victim would eventually lose all five senses. Ning Shu could only see about ten meters now and her nose could barely smell anything.
So there was no way for her to tell whether or not this pill was poison.
She looked at Liu Changqing guardedly. “We’re busy with government matters, so Phoenix Empress, you should withdraw for now.”
Liu Changqing looked at Ning Shu. “Your Majesty, please stop using the same excuse every time.”
Kaho recently got a warning email from Adsense about potentially invalid traffic. I’m not sure what it’s about, but if it continues, I may be banned from Adsense, which means that this website will no longer be self-sustainable. Therefore I’d like to ask everyone to please avoid accidently clicking the ads or spam-clicking ads, and only click ads that you’re interested in, because I think the invalid traffic is probably the result of a lot of ads being clicked on, then immediately being exited out of. (Correct me if I’m wrong) Thanks!
