Chapter 1099: Because of 2333’s Uselessness
Ning Shu only saw Mu Qing at night. As soon as dawn broke, she’d have Mu Qing taken back to the cold palace. She didn’t care about how Mu Qing lived at all.
She didn’t care whether Mu Qing was getting enough to eat in the cold palace, whether her clothing was warm enough, or any of that. In reality, Mu Qing was very intelligent. She had been able to survive in the cold palace after all, so she had her own ways of survival.
Mu Qing didn’t dare to let this matter spread. She didn’t dare to say that the emperor had her read memorials every night and seemed to even be teaching her how to govern the nation.
Mu Qing didn’t know what the old witch meant by this, but she knew that if she spread this incident, the only fate left for her was death, especially when there was still an heir apparent present.
The old witch was pretty much roasting her over a fire. As of now, Mu Qing was constantly on edge in the cold palace.
Ning Shu was pretty satisfied with Mu Qing’s response. If she had started acting arrogant or conspicuously act like she was experiencing a reversal of fortune, Ning Shu wouldn’t have paid any more attention to Mu Qing.
People had to always be on guard. Ning Shu felt that the reason she was suffering so much right now was because she hadn’t been on guard enough. If not for that, she wouldn’t have ended up cursed and having to suffer hell on earth.
The most depressing part was still 2333, this system. He didn’t even tell her that she had encountered a cursed object.
“This kind of thing leaves no traces so there’s no way I’d be able to catch it. Why’re you trying to blame everything on me?” said 2333 angrily.
Ning Shu: →_→
From the start it was because of 2333’s uselessness.
Ning Shu felt that she couldn’t last for much longer, because by now, she couldn’t even walk. All the veins in her body were protruding and her body was completely bruised. There was no rhythm to her heartbeats anymore.
When Liu Changqing came to visit Ning Shu and saw that Ning Shu was sitting on the chair motionlessly, he walked to Ning Shu and said, “Your Majesty, you’re ill. Call an imperial physician, alright?”
“We’re fine,” replied Ning Shu indifferently. She kept her gaze on the memorial in front of her.
Liu Changqing reached out and took Ning Shu’s hand. Liu Changqing’s fingers were slender and like jade, making Ning Shu’s hand appear even more ashen in contrast. Ning Shu wanted to pull back her hand, but Liu Changqing held on. “Your Majesty, you’re avoiding Changqing.”
“We’re not.” Ning Shu didn’t want to discuss these trivial issues.
Liu Changqing asked, “Your Majesty, are you going to Phoenix Perch Palace tonight?”
No way, what for? Ning Shu said, “There are a lot of court matters so we won’t be going.”
Liu Changqing smiled gracefully. “Your Majesty, pay attention to your own health.”
Ning Shu nodded. Liu Changqing saluted, then turned and left slowly.
He was finally gone! Ning Shu vomited a mouthful of blood. It was so annoying. Liu Changqing kept coming here every time he had free time to brush up on his sense of presence. What exactly did he mean by this?
Ning Shu had just finished puking blood when Liu Changqing came back. Ning Shu was so startled that she almost vomited blood again. Her facial muscles contorted as she looked at Liu Changqing and asked, “Phoenix Empress, you’re...”
Liu Changqing said, “From now on, Changqing is going to live together with Your Majesty to look after Your Majesty’s health.”
Ning Shu: Fuuuuck...
Live together!?
Ning Shu said coldly, “We do not need Phoenix Empress to personally look after us. We understand our own body well.”
“Your Majesty, you don’t understand.” Liu Changqing shook his head.
“We have said that we don’t need you to look after us. If you really have so much time, go discipline your own daughter. Look at everything she’d done! We can’t even be bothered to list it all out!” said Ning Shu coldly.
