Chapter 1098: Hey, Wake Up
“This subject daughter can do it.” Mu Yao patted her chest as she guaranteed, “This subject daughter won’t cause trouble for Imperial Mother.”
Ning Shu saw that the hidden guards had finished nailing the coffin, so she patted Mu Yao’s shoulder, then turned and left the palace.
The next day, Ning Shu watched as the long funeral procession left the palace. Mu Yao was mixed in the procession. She turned back and glanced at Ning Shu who was standing in a high location. She wanted to wave goodbye, but she took into consideration the current situation and could only obediently leave with the procession.
Ning Shu loosened a breath in relief when she saw Mu Yao leave the palace, then she got back into the palanquin to head back to the palace.
Ning Shu didn’t attend court for several days. She hadn’t wanted to attend court in the first place, and now she finally had an excuse to be absent, which was that she was too heartbroken due to losing her daughter and so she didn’t want to attend court. She’d kill whoever wanted to drag her to court.
This allowed Ning Shu’s trainwreck of a body to rest for a bit.
One piece of bad news was that this incident hadn’t been enough to remove the crown prince from the position of heir apparent. This degree was clearly not severe enough.
Furthermore, the reason why the ministers were so against it was because Mu Yao was already dead. There was no need to drag a living person down along with a dead one. Those that were dead no longer had any value, and even alive, Mu Yao’s status wasn’t as important as Mu Yao’s.
Mu Yao was under unbounded house arrest, but Liu Changqing didn’t say anything. He continued to bring Ning Shu nourishing soup, then take her ugly hand and exhort, “Your Majesty, you need to take better care of your health.”
Ning Shu: ...
She seriously couldn’t understand what Liu Changqing meant.
Late at night, Ning Shu had Mu Qing who she had neglected for a good while brought to her. Mu Qing was still wearing very ordinary clothes of poor quality.
When she saw Ning Shu, her face filled with guardness and confusion. “Why are you looking for me?”
Mu Qing had been very careful this entire time. She really didn’t know what this nominal mother of hers was trying to do by neglecting her, so she had been very careful in the cold palace. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that this person had bad intentions.
When Ning Shu saw that Mu Qing was acting like a provoked hedgehog, she asked, “Have you been well lately?”
Mu Qing: ...
Mu Qing’s current feelings could only be expressed by a thousand grass mud horses. She was asking if she was doing well? It was clearly ridicule.
She was messing with her.
Mu Qing grinned. “I’m doing well, very well.”
Ning Shu nodded, then picked up a memorial. “Come here and read this.”
Mu Qing scratched at her head in irritation, then she picked up the memorial and started reading. After she finished, Ning Shu asked her how to deal with it and she directly said that she didn’t know.
Ning Shu glanced at her, then took another memorial and had her read it. After Mu Qing finished reading, Ning Shu asked, “If it were you, how would you deal with this matter? What is the minister who wrote this memorial thinking?”
“I don’t know,” replied Mu Qing.
Ning Shu picked out another memorial. “Read it.”
Mu Qing finally understood. If she didn’t come up with a way to resolve the issue, she’d have her keep reading the memorials.
Damned old witch.
#comment: Oooh, the title I picked for this chp reminds me of a show I recently watched: The Haunting of Hill House. The story is slightly creepy, but super intricate and not too scary, and the film style makes the show really captivating and haunting but not too traumatizing. I highly recommend!
Kaho recently got a warning email from Adsense about potentially invalid traffic. I'm not sure what it's about, but if it continues, I may be banned from Adsense, which means that this website will no longer be self-sustainable. Therefore I'd like to ask everyone to please avoid accidently clicking the ads or spam-clicking ads, and only click ads that you're interested in, because I think the invalid traffic is probably the result of a lot of ads being clicked on, then immediately being exited out of.
