Liu Qingqing trembled hard, unable to say a word. She was scared, and her whole face was pale.
It was only after a long time that she regained her senses and knelt in front of the emperor with a thud; her voice choked with tears. âEmperor, it was Sister Gu... It was Sister Gu who gave the medicine to me. She said that this medicine... It would make Fourth Prince fall in love with me. I love him so much. So, I listened to Sister Gu. I beg for your mercy to spare my life. â
Liu Qingqingâs words made the emperor shocked; his body became stiff. He clenched his fists tightly, and his breathing grew heavy as if he could not believe that Liu Qingqing would do this kind of thing.
He always had a good feeling about Liu Qingqing. She was an excellent girl and the young lady of a noble family. Besides, the Liu family was deeply respected by him. Otherwise, he would not have let Qingâer marry Liu Qingqing as a concubine.
However, Liu Qingqing, to get Qingâer, could do this kind of thing and caused Qingâer to be poisoned and fall unconscious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
And... She framed others!
Slap!
He raised his hand and slapped Liu Qingqingâs face fiercely.
The slap made half of Liu Qingqingâs face red. She fell to the ground, and there was a trail of blood on the corner of her lips; her gaze was full of panic.
She loved Murong Qing too much. Was it wrong to love someone? She could only blame Sister Gu. She had no enemies, so why would Sister Gu frame her?
The empressâs lips trembled slightly. She covered her lips with her hands, and tears flowed down to her fingers. âSister Gu, why would she do that... Liu Qingqing, is it that you wanted to harm Qingâer, but because there was no one to take the blame, so you have framed Sister Gu? It must be you!â
She rushed toward Liu Qingqing angrily, clutching her lapel tightly. âWhy did you do this? I adored you so much and treated you well. But why would you want to harm Qingâer like this? Why?â
Liu Qingqing closed her eyes in deep pain. Her body was shaking, and after a few seconds, she opened her eyes, staring at the empress standing before her.
âEmpress, what I said this time is all true. Sister Gu is dishonest. I have no reason to plot against the prince. I just want to be his woman...â
âLiu Qingqing!â
The emperor trembled with anger. Until now, Liu Qingqing still did not understand what was wrong with her actions.
He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Qingqingâs lapel; his anger raged. âYou still dare to be so reckless. You have ill intentions toward Qingâer. Drugging to get him is a fault, regardless of whether you used medicine or poison. This is all your fault that he had become like this. If itâs not because of your intention, why would you give people the opportunity to take advantage of you?â
Liu Qingqingâs lips were pale.
The emperor was right. It was all her fault.
Because of her, she had allowed someone to take advantage of the situation.
It was because of her that the prince was unconscious.
If she could be given another chance... She would not do that again. She would rely on her ability to win his heart.
âMother...â
Nan Chiyou looked up at Feng Ruqing unblinkingly. âMurong Qing has helped me before, so you need to save him.â
Feng Ruqing withdrew her gaze and nodded indifferently. âFine.â
She would never refuse Nan Chiyouâs request.
Therefore, she took out a piece of spirit herb and handed it to Ah Bao. âTake it.â
