Chapter 440: The Country Where Women Dominate 16
Liu Changqing looked down at Ning Shu's hand, which had bulging veins and protruding joints. Ning Shu pulled back his hand and put it in his long sleeves.
Liu Changqing looked at Ning Shu, his eyes sparkling with a light water color, and said, "Your Majesty, please drink some soup."
Ning Shu: ...
Soup, soup, endless soup, so speechless.
Liu Changqing put the bowl to Ning Shu's mouth, and seemed to force Ning Shu to drink the soup.
Ning Shu took a symbolic sip, and Liu Changqing said again, "Your Majesty, drink a few more sips."
Ning Shu frowned tightly and shook his head, "I don't want to drink anymore." Drinking into the stomach is a burden on the body.
Liu Changqing took a sip, put down the bowl, took Ning Shu's hand, looked down at Ning Shu's unsightly hands, "Your Majesty, your body really needs to be adjusted, the pills will only hollow out your body."
Ning Shu hummed, and the two fell into silence again. Liu Changqing stepped aside to pick up the food box and said to Ning Shu, "Your Majesty, Changqing will take his leave first."
Ning Shu hummed again, Liu Changqing's body paused, and finally walked away slowly.
As soon as Liu Changqing left, Ning Shu immediately held the pillar, damn, his legs were so weak, and his legs kept shaking in pain.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Lady Qiu hurriedly walked into the hall. Because she was too hurried, her foot was tripped by the threshold, and she said to Ning Shu, "The fourth princess has gone."
Ning Shu suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. Lady Qiu hurriedly supported Ning Shu's staggering body. Ning Shu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "What happened to the fourth princess?"
"The fourth princess has gone." Lady Qiu said sharply.
"Nonsense, the fourth prince was still here during the morning court session." Ning Shu said harshly, "What happened?"
"The Crown Princess and the Fourth Princess had a dispute. I don't know the specific reason. The Crown Princess is in front of the palace now." Lady Qiu came to help Ning Shu.
"Find a sedan chair." Ning Shu said.
Ning Shu was carried into the palace for the court session on the sedan chair. Mu Xue knelt on the ground, and Mu Yao lay on a stretcher covered with a white cloth. Next to the stretcher was a man in azure clothes kneeling.
The ministers around were talking about it. With such a big thing happening, these ministers naturally had to come.
Ning Shu endured the severe pain all over his body, walked over and lifted the white cloth, revealing Mu Yao's bloodless face, and the clothes around his neck were stained with blood.
"Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, come and see the fourth prince." Ning Shu shouted hoarsely, blood welled up in his throat, and Ning Shu swallowed it.
The imperial physician quickly checked, felt Mu Yao's pulse, checked her pupils, then knelt down and said to Ning Shu, "Her Highness the Fourth Princess is indeed dead. She was hit on the back of her head with a huge force."
Ning Shu staggered twice, stared at Mu Yao on the stretcher, and said in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"
The man kneeling beside Mu Yao's body kowtowed to Ning Shu, his voice filled with deep sadness and hatred, "Your Majesty, Yuan Jun can testify that His Highness was killed by the Crown Princess."
Ning Shu's eyes were red, and the veins on his forehead bulged, looking extremely horrifying, "Crown Princess, what's going on, I..." Ning Shu took a breath, "Give me a reason to let you harm your own sister."
Mu Xue pinched her eyebrows tightly, kowtowed and said sadly, "Mother, I am innocent. It was the Fourth Princess who started it first. I just pushed her away and she fell to the ground."
Ning Shu's body trembled violently, "Can she die from just a push?" Mu Xue looked cold, "I don't know what happened, either?"
"You don't know what happened, so how can I know what happened?" Ning Shu laughed in anger, and pulled off the Panlong jade pendant from his waist and threw it at Mu Xue.
Mu Xue wanted to dodge, but she didn't. The jade pendant hit her brow bone, which immediately swelled up, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"You were under house arrest, why did you run to the Fourth Elder's mansion?" Ning Shu's eyes pierced Mu Xue fiercely, "I asked you to reflect on your actions under house arrest, but you disobeyed the order, Princess Crown Prince, you are simply lawless, do you want to take my throne now?"
Mu Xue kowtowed and said in fear, "I dare not, I have no such intention."
Mu Xue took a deep breath, and seeing Ning Shu looking at her with vigilance and disgust, she quickly kowtowed to the ground, saying non-stop, "I am innocent."
Ning Shu wiped her tears and said harshly, "As the eldest sister and the crown prince of a country, you don't care about the people and don't love your sisters. With such a virtue, how can I hand over the country of Xuan to you?"
"What is the reason for you to violate the imperial edict and run to the Fourth Elder's mansion during the house arrest?" Ning Shu was a little unsteady and staggered twice. The female official Qiu quickly supported Ning Shu and asked someone to bring a chair.
Mu Xue knelt on the ground with her forehead touching the ground, and didn't speak. What she said now was wrong.
Mu Xue glanced at Ning Shu who was sitting on the chair. Her expression was extremely ferocious, as if she was ready to eat someone.
Mu Xue's eyebrows revealed a subtle sarcasm. Losing her most beloved daughter must be a heart-wrenching pain.
"What exactly did you quarrel about, Princess Crown Princess? Are you mute?" Ning Shu's body was shaking violently.
Mu Xue pursed her lips tightly. She could say that she heard that there was a dragon robe in the mansion of the fourth princess. It was accurate news that a craftsman made a dragon robe for Mu Yao, so she took the risk to go to the mansion of the fourth princess and asked her men to look for traces of the dragon robe in the mansion of the fourth princess.
When I went to the residence of the fourth daughter of the emperor, I saw Mu Yao and Yuan Lang having breakfast together. They fed each other. Mu Xue just said casually, "You two are really in love."
Mu Yao immediately turned her face and said to Mu Xue angrily, "What does the eldest sister mean? Is it wrong for the sister to be in love with her husband?"
Maybe there was a little sarcasm in Mu Xue's voice, but Mu Yao was keenly aware of it and asked Mu Xue what she meant.
Mu Xue was a little impatient, so she stretched out her hand to push Mu Yao away. As a result, something happened. Mu Yao staggered and fell down, hitting the back of her head on the corner of the table.
Things developed too quickly, even Mu Xue herself reacted.
Now Mu Xue was kneeling on the cold floor, with a chill in her heart. She was calculated.
But Mu Xue calmed down in an instant, and did not say that she was wronged. She said directly: "It was my son who pushed Mu Xue, but I did not want to kill the fourth princess. I am not worthy of being a crown prince. Please depose me, mother."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. How can you depose a crown prince just like that?" The ministers knelt down to plead for Mu Xue to Ning Shu.
"Your Majesty, deposing a crown prince will shake the foundation of the country. Please think twice. The incident with the fourth princess was an accident." A minister stood up with a court board in his hand, and bowed his body to Ning Shu and said.
Ning Shu glanced at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Mu Xue who was kneeling on the ground and sincerely repenting.
Threaten her? !
