Ning Shu didn’t know what Liu Changqing had brought these pills over to do. Could it be that he wanted to poison her to death? But in her current state, feeding her poison was just a waste of money.

  She didn’t have much longer to live, but she still had one thing she needed to do, so she couldn’t die right now.

  “Court Lady Qiu, Court Lady Qiu!” Ning Shu called for Court Lady Qiu.

  When Liu Changqing saw the guardedness on Ning Shu’s face, he frowned slightly. His voice was cold as he said, “Your Majesty, Changqing had Court Lady Qiu prepare hot water so that you could wash up when you woke up.”


  Ning Shu became even more alarmed. She looked at Liu Changqing coldly as she said, “Phoenix Empress, what do you intend to do?”


  Liu Changqing chuckled softly. It was Ning Shu’s first time hearing him laugh. His laughter contained a trace of sorrow. “Nichang, I really hate you.”


  Ning Shu was expressionless. The one he hated was Mu Nichang, it had nothing to do with her.

  However, the current Liu Changqing seemed a little abnormal. Ning Shu shrank slightly towards the corner of the bed as she asked mildly, “Phoenix Empress, what do you mean by this? You hate us?”


  An elegant smile appeared on Liu Changqing’s face. He took out a pill and lifted it to Ning Shu’s lips. “Your Majesty, take the medicine.”


  No, no way! Ning Shu turned her head aside. Liu Changqing didn’t get angry and just turned Ning Shu’s head to face him again. “Your Majesty, this is an antidote pill. You’ve been poisoned.”


  Jesus. Ning Shu felt like her brain wasn’t working anymore. She was poisoned!?

  Wasn’t she cursed?

  Could it be that she had been cursed, then poisoned!?

  This pair of father and daughter poisoned her on two separate occasions!?

  Ning Shu: →_→


  “We’re poisoned? How could we be poisoned?” Ning Shu shook her head. “We won’t take this pill.”


  Liu Changqing pressed his lips together, then he swallowed one of the pills before picking up another one and bringing it to Ning Shu’s lips. “Nichang, take the pill. Once you do, your health will naturally recover.”


  “You poisoned us?” Ning Shu looked at Liu Changqing. She thought about things for a good while, but still couldn’t figure out when he had poisoned her.

  Could it be the nourishing soup? Ning Shu recalled that she had drank a mouthful of the soup. Although Liu Changqing had drank half the bowl, he had the antidote so it probably didn’t affect him.

  Liu Changqing didn’t try to deny it and just said, “Your Majesty, take the pill, alright?”


  Countless mud grass horses were racing through Ning Shu’s heart. Could life be any more tragic?

  However, whatever Liu Changqing poisoned her with, it was already cured. She had taken so many antidote pills after all.

  “Why did you poison us? Because of the crown prince?” asked Ning Shu. This Liu Changqing had probably gone through a rebirth.

  Liu Changqing held the pill as he said gently, “Your Majesty, take the pill alright? Then Changqing will tell you why.”


  Ning Shu swallowed the pill. Even if it was poison, it was fine since she had antidote pills.

  “Phoenix Empress, pour us a cup of water.” Ning Shu looked at Liu Changqing. “We’re thirsty.”


  As Liu Changqing turned to pour her a cup of water, Ning Shu immediately stuffed an antidote pill in her mouth. Who knew if this stuff was an antidote or poison? She didn’t trust Liu Changqing at all.

  Liu Changqing raised the cup to Ning Shu’s lips. “Your Majesty, please drink.”


  Ning Shu took a sip, but no more. She asked, “You can tell us when you poisoned us now, right? Why did you poison us?”


  Liu Changqing lowered his eyes slightly and gazed at the white porcelain teacup in his hands as he said, “Your Majesty, Changqing had a long dream. Changqing dreamed that Your Majesty threw Changqing in the cold palace, that Your Majesty killed the crown prince.”


  Liu Changqing lifted his eyes to look towards Ning Shu. “Your Majesty, this dream was really realistic. When Changqing woke up, Changqing’s heart was filled with hatred and resentment. During the time of greatest pain, Changqing poisoned Your Majesty.”


  Ning Shu: →_→
