Chapter 1095: What Was With the Soup!?

Liu Changqing lowered his head and looked at Ning Shu’s hand. The veins were conspicuously bursting and her joints protruded. Ning Shu pulled her hand back and hide her hand in her sleeve.

Liu Changqing looked towards Ning Shu, his eyes gleaming slightly with a hint of tears. “Your Majesty, drink some soup, alright?”

Ning Shu: …

Soup, soup, what was with the soup!? What the heck?

Liu Changqing lifted the bowl to Ning Shu’s lips. From the looks of things, he was going to force her to drink the soup.

Ning Shu took a symbolic sip, but Liu Changqing said again, “Your Majesty, please drink a bit more.”

Ning Shu furrowed her brows tightly, then shook her head. “We don’t want to drink anymore.” Drinking it only burdened her body more.

Liu Changqing pressed his lips together as he set down the bowl. He took Ning Shu’s hand and looked at it. “Your Majesty, your body really needs recuperate. The immortality pills will only weaken your body more.”

Ning Shu nodded, then the two of them fell into silence again. Liu Changqing picked up the food box, then said, “Your Majesty, then Liu Changqing will withdraw first.”

Ning Shu nodded again. Liu Changqing froze for a brief moment, then he calmly walked away.

The moment Liu Changqing left, Ning Shu immediately collapsed against a pillar. Frick! Her legs were completely weak. They were trembling nonstop from the pain.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty…” Court Lady Qiu hurriedly walked into the palace. Since she was in too much of a hurry, she almost tripped over the doorstep. “The fourth prince has passed away.”

Ning Shu abruptly vomited a mouthful of blood. Court Lady Qiu hastily went over to support Ning Shu’s staggering body. Ning Shu wiped at the blood on her mouth. “What happened to the fourth prince?”

“The fourth prince has passed away,” replied Court Lady Qiu bluntly.

“Nonsense! Fourth was there at court just this morning!” said Ning Shu fiercely. “What exactly happened?”

“The crown prince and the fourth prince got into a fight. This servant doesn’t know the details either. The crown prince is in front of the palace right now.” Court Lady Qiu walked over to support Ning Shu.

“Get a palanquin,” said Ning Shu.

Ning Shu sat down in the palanquin and was carried to the court palace. Mu Xue was kneeling on the ground and Mu Yao was lying on the stretcher, her body covered with white cloth. Next to the stretcher was a man in sky blue clothing.

All the surrounding ministers were discussing things with each other. This was a huge incident, so of course these ministers had to come.

Ning Shu endured the severe pain coming from her body to walk over and lift the white cloth, revealing Mu Yao’s colorless face. The collar of her clothes was bloody.

“Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician, come over here and take a look at Fourth!” shouted Ning Shu with all her strength. Blood rose up in her throat, but she forcefully swallowed it.

The imperial physician hastily came to inspect Mu Yao. She checked Mu Yao’s pulse, her pupils, then knelt towards Ning Shu. “The fourth prince has indeed passed away. The back of her head has suffered a severe impact.”

Ning Shu staggered as she stared at Mu Yao in disbelief. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “What exactly happened?”

The man kneeling by Mu Yao’s corpse kowtowed towards Ning Shu. His voice contained deep sorrow and hatred. “Your Majesty, Yuan Jun can act as witness. Her Highness was killed by the crown prince!”

Ning Shu’s eyes were completely red and the veins on her forehead were bursting forth. The sight of her was extremely shocking. “Crown Prince, what is going on? We…” Ning Shu took a deep breath. “Give us a reason. A reason that drove you to kill your own sister.”

Mu Xue’s brows were tightly furrowed. She kowtowed and said mournfully, “Imperial Mother, this subject daughter is wrongly accused. It was Fourth Imperial Sister that attacked first. This subject daughter only pushed her away, then she fell to the ground.”

Ning Shu’s body was trembling severely. “She died from just a push!?”

Mu Xue’s expression was cold. “This subject daughter doesn’t know what happened either.”
