“Mo Qinghan actually dared to set an entire street of commoners on fire, has she gone insane?!” Mo Qingli’s hands clenched into fists. Although it could be said that her own hands had been dirtied with blood before, she had never killed someone without reason. Mo Qinghan had only been ridiculed by a crowd of commoners who had otherwise done nothing; by setting them on fire to burn alive, that really was enough for people to feel immense disgust at her.
However, last night, Mo Qingli had been the one to fasten her to the rafters of her residence, and she had seen how Mo Qinghan’s body was covered with injures. Even though these injuries were not life-threatening, typically they would retire half a year’s worth of bedrest before the affected person could resume using martial arts.
That person, how could she have the ability to burn so many people to death?
“Yue Yao, are you sure that it was Mo Qinghan who set the commoners on fire? Did anyone help her?”
“Replying to the Princess, this servant is certain.” Yue Yao walked closer, stopping when she was a step away from Mo Qingli. Quietly, she said, “Furthermore, this servant saw with her own eyes that all of the Fourth Princess’s wounds were healed in a moment.”
“What? Is this true?” Mo Qingli turned her gaze to stare at Yue Yao scrutinizingly.
Her inky black gaze made Yue Yao unconsciously lower her head. Confidently, she said, “This servant is willing to put her life on the line. If anything I say is false, let the heavens send lightning to eviscerate me.”
Mo Qingli’s face became very heavy, her body emitting a cold energy. Seeing this, Yue Yao tactfully retreated and closed the door.
This Mo Qinghan was clearly a human. However, how could the events that had just occurred be explained? Mo Qingli’s deep black eyes flashed a golden-red color. No matter if that Mo Qinghan was a devil or a human, since she had already crossed paths with Mo Qingli, she would not be allowed to treat human lives with such impunity.
Barely half a day after what had occured, the news of Mo Qinghan burning to death an entire street of people became known to everyone in the Motian Dynasty. People could be heard discussing the matter enthusiastically whenever they had time. The reverence towards Mo Qinghan deepened, as well as the fear.
When the Empress heard about the news, she only mysteriously laughed for a moment, before continuing to pamper Ouyang Haoxuan.
Meanwhile, the subject of all the discussions was currently lying on a couch, her eyes closed.
“Imperial Physician Li, what is it?” Ni Cui advanced forwards, taking Imperial Physician Li’s proffered medical box.
After taking the Fourth Princess’s pulse, Imperial Physician Li’s nervous face was filled with relief. The Empress had told her before that no matter what this Fourth Princess did, and no matter what kind of crimes she was guilty of, she was the Motian Dynasty’s foundation. While Imperial Physician Li was unaware of how this Fourth Princess had become the Motian Dynasty’s foundation, she only knew that if she was unable to save this Fourth Princess, then her entire family would never be able to make a living again.
Seeing that Imperial Physician Li wasn’t saying anything, Ni Cui felt her heart sink. Even though this Fourth Princess was arrogant and despotic, without a single regard for human life, and someone she despised immensely, if she really met an unexpected death, then everyone in the entire Fourth Princess’s residence would have to join her! The anxious Ni Cui grasped Imperial Physician Li’s arm, her face poignant as she said, “Imperial, Imperial Physician Li, how, how is the Princess?”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry,” Imperial Physician Li pulled away her arm with some disgust, brus.h.i.+ng off the area where Ni Cui had held onto before. She recoiled at the thought that an insignificant servant had dared to touch her. However, the appropriate words still had to be said. “The Fourth Princess’s body is unharmed. She simply used too much physical power and fainted from it. A few days of rest will heal her completely.”
