However… Sister Gu was the servant that the empress brought into the palace back then. She did not have any reason to accuse her!

“Empress, how will you defend yourself?” The emperor opened his eyes and asked expressionlessly.

The empress fell weakly to the ground. She shook her head and said. “Emperor, it really wasn’t me. I’m innocent…”

She must not admit it. If she did, she would definitely not be able to save her life anymore.

The emperor would not spare her.

“Mother…” Nan Chiyou turned to Feng Ruqing. “Murong Qing’s body has been weak since he was a child. He often gets sick. The people of Chang Qing Kingdom said that Flower King could help him to improve his physique. Is it really possible?”

Feng Ruqing froze for a moment and shook his head. “Flower King surely can strengthen the body, but only for the healthy. If the physique is already weak, it will only make him even weaker.”

The emperor, who was already filled with disappointment, stiffened once again after hearing these words.

Endless anger surged to his heart as he gritted his teeth and said, “Go and bring the state preceptor to me!”

The state preceptor of Chang Qing Kingdom was none other than an older man who was busily thinking about dealing with Flower King. He was already worried then. Who knew that the emperor would suddenly send an order for him to go to Fourth Prince Manor. His heart thumped, and he could sense that something bad had happened.

So, he was apprehensive all the way there, and when he saw the courtyard was full of people, especially the empress who was kneeling on the ground, he panicked even more.

“Emperor… Emperor…”

“Tell me!” The emperor stormed. “Why did you deceive Qing’er and told him that Flower King could cure his illness and trick him into going to that savage land?!”

The state preceptor was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees, crying, “Emperor, spare my life. The empress heard that Flower King was guarded by the wolf king and wanted to trick Fourth Prince to go there so that he would be buried in the wolf’s belly. The empress threatened me, and I did not dare to disobey her. I am begging you to spare my life…”

Every word spoken by the state preceptor made the emperor’s heart sink even more and felt even a little hurt.

He suddenly thought of those times when the empress felt uneasy about Qing’er and wanted to go there to find him. The empress’s concern had even touched him.

Now that he thought about it, she probably wanted to go there just to collect Qing’er’s dead body…

Ridiculous!

“Empress, what else do you have to say now?” The emperor’s gaze was cold and stern as he looked at the empress with eyes filled with murderous intent.

The empress closed her eyes, and her tears poured.

A short while later, she opened her eyes—a cold smile on her mouth.

“I met you first. But why do you only have your eyes on her? What did I lack that she had? Yet you are always infatuated with her, and you at most only respect me.

“Why? We are sisters. But why does she have someone who loves her so much and I have nothing? I can’t accept it! There’s nothing that I can’t do compared to her!”

Due to that, she hated Murong Qing.

Even now, she did not feel that she was at fault. The fault was all on them.

If only the emperor could love her more, she would not have done so.

The world thought that the emperor protected her and loved her, but only she knew that he just respected her but not love her as his wife.

This was not what she wanted…

The emperor was shocked. He had never thought that the empress would harbor so much hate.

It was clear back then that their relationship was very good. Yet, why had it turned into hatred?

Feng Ruqing turned to look at the empress. “Framing Xia Xia, was it also your part?”

The empress sneered. “She did not listen to me. I only allow a person who listens to me to enter the imperial family.”
