Chapter 1105: Your Sister is a Very Generous Person

After Ning Shu placed the phoenix empress under house arrest in Phoenix Perch Palace, she never went to visit him again in order to avoid the awkwardness.

The fact that Liu Changqing had taken out the antidote in the end showed that he still had feelings for Mu Nichang after all. He was probably really conflicted over those feelings of love and hate right now.

He totally couldve just not taken out the antidote, but he still did at the end. Moreover, not only did he take out the antidote, instead of just secretly giving it to her, he confessed everything that he did. It was kind of like he was letting everything crash since things were already broken.

Liu Changqing obediently stayed in Phoenix Perch Palace without making any more of a ruckus. He did whatever he was supposed to very calmly. No matter how you looked at him, it was like his heart had already turned to ashes.

Ning Shu dragged her body that was stiff like it was already a corpse to court. The ministers once again submitted a memorial requesting that the crown prince be released.

Ning Shu glanced at Mu Qing who was working hard to decrease her sense of presence, then said, Speaking of which, it really has been a while since weve seen the crown prince.

Ever since Mu Qing was publicly revealed as the fifth prince, she had obtained the right to attend court. When she saw that Ning Shus gaze was on her, she immediately straightened up her back. All the hair on her back was standing up on end.

All she knew was that this old witch was always trying to push her into a trap. After living in the cold palace for so many years, her principle was to be low-key and put her own safety before matters of principle. So she never said a word during court.

Come with us to see the crown prince. Ning Shu stood up, enduring the pain. She dragged her body that threatened to fall apart and slowly walked down the stairs.

When the ministers saw that Ning Shu wanted to visit the crown princes residence, they were a bit taken aback, but they all followed her over.

Ning Shu sat in a sedan chair. She looked at Mu Qing who was walking behind her and said, Fifth, come over here.

Mu Qing glanced at Ning Shu only to find that the other party was currently looking at her with a doting expression. Her gaze was gentle and indulgent. The sight almost made Mu Qing puke blood. When she heard the second prince and the third princes cold humphs, she silently cursed the old witch again.

Mu Qing slowly walked to the palanquin, then Ning Shu said, Fifth, youve never seen your Eldest Imperial Sister, right?

I havent, replied Mu Qing in a low voice.

Imperial Mother will take you to see your eldest imperial sister right now. Ning Shu consoled Mu Qing, Your eldest imperial sister is a very generous person.

Mu Qing: ...

She didnt want to go at all. This old witch was pretty much sending her towards a pointed blade. She knew exactly how the fourth prince died. She had died at the hands of the crown prince.

A generous person!?

Haha... Mu Qing forced out a couple dry laughs.

The large procession led by Ning Shu arrived at the crown princes residence. Court Lady Qiu walked up to knock on the door.

Mu Xue soon came out to welcome Ning Shu. She was dressed in black and her hair was combed into a ponytail. As she knelt on the floor, one could barely tell if she was a man or a woman.

This subject daughter respectfully welcomes Imperial Mother. Mu Xue saluted Ning Shu.

Ning Shu nodded, then sized up the situation in the residence. The crown princes soul had changed, so her living habits had changed as well. Some flower bonsais were replaced with pine bonsais and the pearl curtains in the pavilions had also been taken down. The style became a lot more practical.

We came to visit you. Supported by Court Lady Qiu, Ning Shu walked into the main hall and sat down. She asked, How has your reflection gone?

Mu Xues expression was filled with sincere regret and she looked towards Ning Shu with filial piety as she said, This subject daughter has wronged.

Ning Shu ignored Mu Xues expression of filial piety and pushed Mu Qing who was standing next to her. Mu Qing was startled and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Crown Prince, this is the fifth, Mu Qing. She used to live in the cold palace. We saw that she was living quite spectacularly, so we had her start living with us. Ning Shu introduced Mu Qing to Mu Xue.
