The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Ah Bao stood up and took the spirit herb. It then turned toward the door of the room.

The whole courtyard was quiet since Nan Chiyou said that.

The emperor opened his mouth, wanting to say something but could not seem to say it out loud.

Remorse, guilt, panic; countless emotions gushed out, like the flood.

He never thought that after he had treated this girl like this, she would still want to save Murong Qing.

“Murong Qing helped me, so I tried to save him, but…” Nan Chiyou sneered, “Liu Qingqing set me up, and you wanted to make a move on me. Now that my mother is here. This matter must be settled between us.”

Feng Ruqing frowned and looked at those people in front of her coldly.

There was a murderous intent in her eyes.

The emperor’s face was pale. His hands on the sides trembled a little. He clenched his fists tightly as if it could calm his trembling heart.

But…

The expression on his face still showed the fear he had.

“I don’t want to see Chang Qing Kingdom in Cang Yue Mainland anymore.”

A single sentence had determined the fate of Chang Qing Kingdom.

The emperor’s face turned paler, trembling. “Princess Ruqing, it was my fault. I did not know that Maiden Xia Xia is your daughter. I beg you, for the sake of Qing’er, let Chang Qing Kingdom go this time. I will severely punish Liu Qingqing to appease Maiden Xia Xia of her anger.”

Feng Ruqing looked down at the emperor expressionlessly. “I really doubt, based on the person you are, that you should take the emperor’s seat.”

The emperor trembled. He knew that this time, Feng Ruqing would not easily let him go.

“But…” Feng Ruqing glanced at Liu Qingqing coldly. “I also want to know who is the real person who framed Xia Xia.”

At that moment, someone had already gone to get Sister Gu over.

After seeing the guards rushing into the palace, Sister Gu already knew that the cat was out of the bag.

She was trembling all the way in, and after seeing Liu Qingqing kneeling, her heart grew even colder.

“Sister Gu!” the emperor growled. “Confess it. Did you give the medicine to Liu Qingqing?”

Sister Gu trembled with fear and knelt, tears flowing from her eyes as she fiercely kowtowed.

“Emperor, spare my life! Please spare my life.”

This one sentence made the emperor understand everything. He slowly closed his eyes, and his whole body trembled.

He had never felt threatened by anyone for so many years.

But now… Liu Qingqing, together with Sister Gu, had almost brought his entire Chang Qing Kingdom down.

“Sister Gu, why do you want to harm Qing’er?” the emperor opened his eyes and asked angrily.

Sister Gu bit her lip hard and subconsciously looked at the empress, then quickly withdrew her gaze. “The prince once punished me severely. I have been holding a grudge since, wanting to take revenge on him.”

Back then, she was teaching a palace servant a lesson when Murong Qing saw her, and as a result, Murong Qing had helped that servant and placed the blame on her.

That was a fact, and everyone in the entire palace knew about it.

Even though Sister Gu thought she had hidden that glance well, Feng Ruqing had caught it.

Feng Ruqing smiled coldly.

She slowly walked toward Sister Gu.

Feng Ruqing raised her hand and grabbed her up from the ground, asking expressionlessly, “Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?”

Usually, she did not care much about this kind of idle matter. However, this time, it involved Xia Xia, so she had to see an end to this.
