Chapter 439: The Country of Free and Unfettered Women 15
Mu Qing cried bitterly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years. She wiped her tears fiercely, and her face was rubbed red by the rough clothes.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing the bulging veins on Ning Shu's forehead and even the blood vessels on his face were very obvious, Lady Qiu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Ning Shu closed his eyes. Since he saw Mu Qing, Ning Shu had been thinking in his heart, why not give the throne to this girl? Now that he thinks about it, he thought too simply. Mu Qing grew up in the cold palace and didn't understand many things.
She didn't have what a monarch should have, so it would be better to give the throne to the mediocre second daughter of the emperor.
Mu Qing wiped her tears, looked at Ning Shu and said, "What do you want to find me for? If there is nothing, you won't think of me. Everyone wants to use me."
"Everyone?" Ning Shu asked.
Mu Qing's face showed her usual sarcasm. "The Queen asked me to live with her, saying that I was a noble lady from the royal family and should live a life of wealth and luxury."
Ning Shu frowned. "Do you know the Queen?"
"How could I know such a high-ranking person? She is either a traitor or a thief. Suddenly, two big figures in the palace are paying attention to me. What value do I have?" Mu Qing said with a sneer.
Ning Shu rubbed his forehead. The severe headache made Ning Shu unable to think. Mu Qing was a worthless person. How could Liu Changqing set his sights on her?
Or did Liu Changqing know Mu Qing?
Mu Qing did not appear in the plot at all, and Mu Nishang did not have such a person in her memory. Looking at Liu Changqing during the day, he seemed to be quite familiar with Mu Qing.
Liu Changqing was banished to the cold palace by Mu Nishang. Liu Changqing and Mu Qing should know each other in the cold palace.
Then... Liu Changqing has the memory of his previous life, and he may be reborn.
Maybe it is impossible. Liu Changqing manages the entire harem, so it is normal for him to know that there is a child in the cold palace.
But Liu Changqing never mentioned this child in front of Mu Nishang.
Ning Shu's head was about to explode, and he vaguely guessed in his heart that Liu Changqing might be reborn.
It was really speechless. How could it be so chaotic? Mu Xue might be the tasker, and Liu Changqing might be reborn. Now it seems that they all want to take revenge on him.
Ning Shu inexplicably felt that he was taking the blame for Mu Nishang. It was originally just a question of succession, but it was so complicated in the end.
Especially Liu Changqing's attitude that seemed to be affectionate and ruthless, Ning Shu couldn't understand what Liu Changqing was thinking.
Mu Nishang hurt them so badly, and Liu Changqing, who was reborn with resentment, would always do something.
We must speed up. Ning Shu asked Mu Qing: "Can you read?"
"How can I, who can't even get enough food, read?" Mu Qing said sarcastically.
Ning Shu had a cold face, "Speak nicely, stop being sarcastic, can you read?"
Mu Qing bit her lip, looking angry, "I can read a little."
"Come here and read the memorial." Ning Shu said.
Mu Qing was shocked, with a look of suspicion flashing across her face. Finally, she took the memorial and began to read it. She stuttered as she held the memorial in her hands, with sweat on her forehead. After she finished reading it with great difficulty, she closed the memorial and placed it on the desk.
Ning Shu rubbed his forehead desperately and asked, "What does the memorial say?"
Mu Qing curled her lips and said, "This is a memorial from a local official who complained about his failure to pay taxes on time."
Ning Shu glanced at Mu Qing and asked, "How do you think it should be resolved?"
"I don't know." Mu Qing said bluntly, "What do you mean by letting me touch the memorial? It's not to compensate me and give me the throne, right?" Ning Shu felt that Mu Qing was a smart person, but she was a little outspoken and said whatever she wanted.
"Is the throne so easy?" Ning Shu called the secret guards and took Mu Qing back to the cold palace.
Before leaving, Mu Qing's face was full of doubts. She didn't know what Ning Shu meant.
Ning Shu sent several secret guards to monitor Mu Qing's every move to see what Mu Qing's attitude was after experiencing this incident and whether there were any changes in her behavior.
After Mu Qing left, Ning Shu, supported by the female official Qiu, lay on the couch, thinking about things in his heart, thinking about Liu Changqing, Mu Xue, and Mu Yao. There were too many things that needed to be solved.
The pain in his body kept Ning Shu awake all night, and his head felt like it was being stabbed by steel needles.
The next day, Ning Shu came back from the morning court with difficulty and saw Liu Changqing waiting at the door of the bedroom.
Ning Shu was in so much pain that he had no strength at all and didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Changqing.
Liu Changqing walked up to Ning Shu with a food box. He was a head taller than Ning Shu. Liu Changqing's voice was filled with sighs, "Your Majesty!"
Ning Shu: →_→
"Is there anything wrong, Queen Feng?" Ning Shu asked Liu Changqing.
Liu Changqing had a faint smile on his face. Under the morning light, a warm halo spread out, making his cold face a little warmer. "Changqing brought nourishing soup to your Majesty. Your Majesty's body needs to be taken care of."
Why is it soup again? Ning Shu was so drunk.
Ning Shu pulled the corner of his mouth and stared at Liu Changqing without blinking. He wondered in his heart whether Liu Changqing was reborn.
"Why is your Majesty looking at Changqing like this?" Liu Changqing asked lightly.
Ning Shu wanted to smile, but his face was stiff and spasmodic, so he could only say expressionlessly: "The Queen is as clear and elegant as when she was young."
Liu Changqing could not deny it. He brought out the tonic soup and sent it to Ning Shu, saying: "Your Majesty, drink the soup. It will be greasy if it gets cold." Ning Shu shook his head
and said: "Queen Feng, I don't want to drink greasy soup this morning."
Liu Changqing pursed his lips and finally showed a bitter smile, "Since Your Majesty doesn't drink it, then Changqing will drink it."
Liu Changqing drank half a bowl of tonic soup in front of Ning Shu. Ning Shu raised his eyebrows. What did Liu Changqing mean by this? Was he telling her that the soup he sent was not poisonous?
Liu Changqing sighed and said to Ning Shu, "Your Majesty, Changqing can see that Your Majesty is not in good health now. Changqing just hopes that Your Majesty is well."
Ning Shu drank a glass of water and suppressed the blood in his throat. "Thank you Queen Feng for your concern. I just feel unwell. It's an old problem."
Liu Changqing pursed his lips and spoke for a long time, "Your Majesty is still taking pills?"
Ning Shu nodded indifferently, "Yes, I will be tired if I don't take them. There are so many political affairs to deal with. Taking pills can make me feel better."
Liu Changqing stretched out his slender hand and wrapped it around Ning Shu's hand. Ning Shu could vaguely smell his elegant scent.
Ning Shu: Oh, oh, oh, can we not shake hands? It will kill you if we talk nicely!
Ning Shu herself could feel how stiff her hands were. The pain made the muscles all over her body extremely stiff. Her hands no longer had the luster and softness that a woman should have.
But this Liu Changqing still shook her hand.
