Chapter 1084: Suit Up Next Time

In all honesty, living like this was seriously painful. It hurt so much that it felt like she was constantly going to die, and she also kept vomiting blood. How much blood could a person possibly puke up? And as of now, she couldnt even eat anymore. It was like her stomach had already lost the ability to digest things. Eating only increased the pain she felt.

Even if she didnt die of pain, shed die of starvation. Fortunately she had exchanged for fasting pills beforehand. One pill was enough to supply the energy that her body needed directly without requiring digestion, so she could survive without eating for a long time.

During every meal, shed just pretend to eat a little. There was no point eating, it would simply burden her body more.

The person that cast this curse was sure vicious. Every day now felt like a year. Every single second was a tormenting eternity.

It felt like she was in h.e.l.l. She just didnt know when this h.e.l.lish torture would end.

During this entire time, she had been considering possible ways to deal with Mu Xue. Regardless of if the task-taker was Liu Changqing or Mu Xue, their goal was probably the dragon throne.

She had to get rid of Mu Xues status as the crown prince and find a successor. She was really scared that she wouldnt be able to endure this and would end up dying. Then even if she managed to get rid of Mu Xue, these ministers would lift the fourth prince onto the throne. At that point, shed really puke blood and die.

Right now, she was pretty much hanging on by a thread. Her only goal was to make sure that Mu Xue didnt become emperor. As of now, Ning Shu had already tossed the task to the back of her mind. In any case, this body would be dying soon. If the entrustors body was dead, her task would obviously be a fail.

This body would eventually fall apart from the torment of this unbounded pain.

Ning Shu endured the pain to continue attending court every day. However, the cosmetics on her face got increasingly heavier and her lips started to turn blue. She had to apply very red lipstick and very heavy makeup every time.

When she saw that Mu Xue was getting increasingly confused and was starting to ask around about her health, she became 80% certain that the soul inside Mu Xues body was a task-taker.

However, the part she was more curious about was how Mu Xue had managed to curse her. Could it be that she had done a spell ritual in her own residence?

How did I end up with this curse? asked Ning Shu.

2333 said, This curse requires a medium, and anything can serve as a medium. Afterwards, once the specified person touches the medium, the curse would be transferred onto the target. It kills without a trace, its seriously vicious.

Ning Shu furrowed her brows. She had touched quite a lot of things, so who knows which one had been the curse medium?

Fudge. She really witnessed this time the truth that there was no limit to how sinister a persons heart could be.

In the future, she had to exchange for more things and suit herself up from head to toe. Itd be seriously refres.h.i.+ng to see the look on those peoples faces when they find out that their items didnt work on her.

Ning Shu was aware that Mu Xue was already secretly starting to rally some of the ministers. It was just that she didnt dare to make any moves that were too big.

She was probably campaigning for her future ascension to the throne. Furthermore, Mu Xue had some talented men as her subordinates. From the looks of things, she planned to have these men serve in court as officials after she became emperor.

Ning Shu was determined not to allow this to happen. There were way too many planes in which men were viewed as superior to women. She wanted to see these men live under the control of women for a change.

Maybe this was a pretty malicious way of thinking, but it was what she thought. Even if one day these men were able to overthrow the current norms, Ning Shu didnt hope for that day to come that soon.

Your Majesty, the phoenix empress is waiting outside the palace. Does Your Majesty wish to see him? Court Lady Qiu saw that Ning Shu was in so much pain that the veins on her forehead were bulging out. Her entire face was contorted with agony.

Ning Shu shook her head. She didnt want to see the phoenix empress. In her current state, he would notice that something was wrong with one glance. She didnt want news of her being poisoned to spread.

Otherwise, itd give Mu Xue the chance to temporarily govern the nation and her power as emperor would be stripped away.
