When Ning Shu got to the door, she seemed to recall something, so she said to Mu Qing, “You head out first, we need to talk to the crown prince about something.”
Mu Qing immediately went outside and closed the door behind her.
Now, the only ones left in the room were Ning Shu and Mu Xue. Ning Shu sighed, then said to Mu Xue who was still kneeling on the ground, “You may rise.”
“Thanks, Imperial Mother.” Mu Xue stood back up. “Imperial Mother, what did you need to talk to this subject daughter about?”
“It’s actually nothing much.” Ning Shu took Mu Xue’s hand. She looked at Mu Xue’s fair, glistening hand, then looked at her own claws, and her heart filled with slight indignance.
Mu Xue looked towards Ning Shu in confusion. She couldn’t figure out what was with this person. She wanted to take back her own hand, but the other party was gripping it tightly.
Ning Shu thought things over. She wouldn’t be able to beat Mu Xue who was young and healthy.
She took a deep breath, then pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her own chest.
Pfff
She vomited a mouthful of black blood onto Mu Xue’s face, then shrieked loudly.
Mu Xue instantly realized Ning Shu’s intentions. She tried to get free from Ning Shu’s grip, but Ning Shu continued to hold on to her tightly. Ning Shu used the last of her strength, refusing to let go of Mu Xue for the life of her.
“You…” Mu Xue inhaled sharply and kicked Ning Shu. Ning Shu continued to vomit black blood as she gripped Mu Xue’s hand tightly. Her nose was blocked by the blood surging up her throat, so she could no longer breathe.
I won’t let go of you even if I die. If I can’t complete my task, you shouldn’t dream of completing yours either.
When the people outside heard the shriek, Mu Qing took the initiative to push open the door, only to see the crown prince’s violent kick.
Everyone froze in shock. Mu Qing shouted, “Crown Prince, you’re actually attacking Imperial Mother!? imperial physicians! Quick, call the imperial physicians!”
Mu Xue’s face was covered with black blood, it felt like an enormous iron chain was fastened around her hand. She couldn’t peel off Ning Shu’s hand at all.
“You’re truly malicious.” Blood was pouring out of Ning Shu’s mouth. With great difficulty, she said, “Dispose of the crown prince.”
Mu Xue’s heart was filled with shock as she stared at Ning Shu blankly. This woman insisted on dragging her down with her even at the cost of death.
“Ding, leaving task world.” 2333’s voice arose and Ning Shu’s soul was immediately ejected from Mu Nichang’s body. The pain immediately disappeared.
Regicide and matricide?
As everyone looked at Mu Xue whose face was covered in blood, their only thought was, this crown prince was probably done for.
The sinister expression flashed across Mu Xue’s face. She wanted to take back her hand, but no matter how she pulled, she couldn’t get out of Mu Nichang’s grip. Mu Nichang’s nails had already dug into her flesh.
Mu Xue was taken aback by Mu Nichang’s resoluteness.
Mu Qing took out the military seal to have the imperial guards capture Mu Xue who had committed regicide.
When Mu Xue saw the military seal in Mu Qing’s hand, she said coldly, “Audacious! I’m the crown prince! How dare you touch me!?”
“Mu Xue, you’ve killed your sister and committed matricide. You’re guilty of terrible crimes. Before death, Imperial Mother had said to dispose of the crown prince.” Mu Qing waved towards the armored imperial guards.
The imperial guards immediately rushed into the room to encircle Mu Xue.
