Chapter 1104: Should Be More Swift and Decisive



Chapter 1104: Should Be More Swift and Decisive

“This poison slowly corrodes a person’s spirit until they die from convulsions.” Even though Liu Changqing was saying malicious things, his voice still remained very calm and elegant.

Ning Shu’s expression didn’t change. “When did you poison us?”

“From when you first started taking those immortality pills,” said Liu Changqing mildly.

That was before she had even entered this world. No wonder this body had been in such terrible conditions. When she took her own pulse, all she got was that this body was weak. She had attributed it to taking too many immortality pills, but it turns out that there was extra stuff in the pills.

Ning Shu pressed her lips together. This eliminates the possibility that Liu Changqing was a task-taker, so then the task-taker was probably the person inside Mu Xue’s body.

Before, Ning Shu had been wondering how she had ended up in contact with the curse medium, but now that she thought about it, Mu Xue had gifted her a box of pills. She had probably gotten cursed at that time.

They had poisoned her at the same time without prior consultation and even used the same medium, the immortality pills.

Ning Shu lit a candle for herself. She had seriously suffered all this pain on Mu Nichang’s behalf.

“So what are you giving us the antidote now for?” asked Ning Shu. It seemed like a rather unnecessary move.

Liu Changqing’s brows furrowed. “Your Majesty, the one that Changqing hates right now is not you, but Changqing himself. Changqing hates himself for not being ruthless enough, and Changqing hated you for hurting Changqing and the crown prince this way, but in the end, Changqing found that this was simply self-torment.”

Ning Shu: ...

Frick, so why did he insist on using a slow-acting poison? If he just used an intense one, the person would be dead as a doorknob already and he wouldn’t have ended up having time to regret.

When a person felt hatred, they’d lose all rationality and itch to just destroy the world. However, once time passed, this hatred would also gradually fade.

So now Liu Changqing was regretting things and took out the antidote to save her? But in a few days, she’ll still be dead as a doorknob.

“Your Majesty, hot water’s already been prepared.” Court Lady Qiu walked in and saluted Ning Shu, then saluted Liu Changqing.

Liu Changqing lowered his eyes. Ning Shu said mildly, “Phoenix Empress, you should head back. For the time being, stay in Phoenix Perch Palace and don’t come out. Reflect properly.”

“Liu Changqing understands.” Liu Changqing got up, then turned and left. As the jade pendant and spotted bamboo flute knocked against each other, they emitted a unique sound.

What could Ning Shu say? Feelings were simply things that couldn’t be cut and only got messier.

“Where did you go? Are you not aware of our situation?” said Ning Shu. “When did the phoenix empress get here?”

Court Lady Qiu immediately knelt down to accept her punishment. “The phoenix empress had arrived not long after Your Majesty fell asleep. The phoenix empress had this servant go prepare water, but this servant encountered some issues and was delayed.

Ning Shu rubbed her forehead. Liu Changqing had purposefully gotten Court Lady Qiu out of here.

Ning Shu directly gave an imperial decree to have Liu Changqing placed under house arrest for a month to prevent him from stirring up any more trouble.

Liu Changqing didn’t say anything when he received this decree. He had already been prepared for the consequences when he made this confession. At worst he’d just be thrown in the cold palace like he had been in the dream, and right now it was only house arrest.

The atmosphere was conspicuously strange since the phoenix empress and the crown prince were under house arrest. Ministers submitted petitions non-stop to request for Ning Shu to release the crown prince and the phoenix empress from house arrest.

Ning Shu simply tossed these memorials to the side without even bothering to read them. They could do whatever they liked. These things couldn’t threaten her.

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.
