?Chapter 1101: Shouldnt Abandon Yourself to Despair

Mu Qing looked at Ning Shu with a conflicted expression. Arent you the emperor? Why arent you calling for imperial physicians and having them take a look at you?

Even if they do, its a waste of effort. They wont be able to save me anyways, so no point wasting that time, answered Ning Shu, unconcerned. Weve already finished drafting the change of inheritance decree.

Ning Shu handed Mu Qing a military seal. This is the military seal to mobilize Daylily Citys imperial guards. Well come up with some way to deal with the crown prince, but if we dont make it in time, youll have to battle with her. If you cant win against her and end up dying, then you frickin deserved it.

Mu Qing: ...

The most malicious existence was a womans heart.

This old witch dragged her into this, then died to rid herself of this problem and push it onto her? How can you troll someone like this?

We will be introducing you to everyone tomorrow. From now on, youre the fifth prince, Mu Qing. Ning Shu paused for a moment to gasp for breath, then said, Prepare properly.

Mu Qing pressed her lips together. Even if you do this, Ill still hate you.

What does whether or not you hate us have anything to do with us? Whatever makes you happy. Ning Shu didnt mind at all.

Mu Qing seriously felt helpless. How could such a person exist in this world?

The next day, Mu Qing support Ning Shu as she headed to court. Mu Qing was now dressed in luxurious clothing that made her possess much stronger of an imposing aura and also look much prettier.

The emperor had suddenly brought a woman here, so all the ministers were confused and scrutinized Mu Qing curiously.

Ning Shu directly said, This is the fifth prince Mu Qing. She grew up in the cold palace. Were now adding her name into the imperial clan record.

All the ministers knelt down and said congratulations. As for what they were actually thinking, who knew?

In any case, Mu Qing was now in the sights of all the ministers.

After announcing Mu Qings ident.i.ty, everything still had to be done according to the customs. Ning Shu didnt arrange for Mu Qing to live in a luxurious palace and instead, found a palace next to the cold palace for her to stay in for now. Once the new princes residence was built, shed move out to live in that residence.

This att.i.tude made it so that people couldnt really tell whether or not Ning Shu actually liked Mu Qing. It was almost as if she didnt care about this new fifth prince at all.

Ning Shu handed all the power she had on hand to Mu Qing. If Mu Qing still couldnt beat Mu Xue with this, then there was nothing she could do. She didnt have much hope of completing this task in the first place.

The rumors going around were getting worse, they all said that the emperor didnt have much longer to live. The ministers repeatedly requested that Ning Shu allow Mu Xue out to monitor the nation.

Ning Shu was calm as Mount Tai. She paid no attention to these people. This daddy was about to die anyways, why the h.e.l.l would this daddy be scared of you? If you wanted to admonish the emperor by committing suicide, that was even better. We can all just die together.

These ministers couldnt bear to kill themselves though. They were just trying to curry favor with Mu Xue, this future emperor, since Ning Shu seemed about to breathe her last.

Cant you just have an imperial physician take a look at you? Every time Mu Qing saw this old witchs more dead than alive appearance, shed feel her hair rise on end. The sight of this old witch puking blood without even the slightest change in expression especially challenged her fragile sanity.

Ning Shu wiped the black blood at the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, then said lightly, Once you ascend to the throne, deal with the people on this list accordingly.

Mu Qing curled her lips in disdain. What makes you think Ill manage to sit on the throne? You sure look confident. You shouldnt forget that you still have a legitimate successor.

Then give the military seal back to us? Ning Shu glanced at Mu Qing. Mu Qing immediately said, Youre the emperor, how can the monarch of yesterday and tomorrow be so fickle? Dont you feel any shame taking back something youve already gifted out?

Humph. Youre sure affected. Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Who knows how much you desire it in the inside, yet you still insist on acting like this. Who are you acting for? Since you want to be the emperor, you should understand your duties.

Mu Qing: d.a.m.ned old witch.

Is there seriously no way to treat this illness of yours? Mu Qing bit her lips, then said, I dont see you taking any medicine or calling for an imperial physician. You shouldnt abandon yourself to despair like this.

Ning Shu was a bit speechless. If this could be cured, why the heck would she give up on treatment?

Ning Shu vomited another mouthful of black blood. The blood was starting to stink a little. Her insides were probably already starting to rot.

You havent met your eldest imperial sister yet right? Well take you to see her, said Ning Shu. A plan was faintly forming.
