So, in the end, she chose Liu Qingqing…
Liu Qingqing lowered her gaze, and her face was pale.
Only now did she understand that the reason the empress allowed her to stay in the prince’s manor. It was all a conspiracy.
It was ridiculous for her to have thought that the empress was treating her sincerely.
“Guard, seize the empress!”
The emperor growled; his eyes were filled with rage.
Several guards came forward at the emperor’s order, grabbed the empress’s arms, and took her away.
The empress did not struggle at all. She lowered her gaze that was full of despair.
After the empress was dragged down, the emperor looked at Nan Chiyou, trembling. “Maiden Xia Xia, just now I…”
Feng Ruqing pulled Nan Chiyou to her side and looked down. “Chang Qing Kingdom will be removed from the mainland. All the cities of Chang Qing Kingdom will merge to other places.”
That single sentence had determined the end of Chang Qing Kingdom.
The emperor’s body felt weak. He seemed desperate as he gradually fell to the ground.
That endless remorse and anger surged to his heart, causing his body to tremble.
‘This is all Empress’s fault. Everything happened because of her… That b*tch deserves to die!’
“Xia Xia, let’s go home.”
Feng Ruqing held Xia Xia’s hands and smiled gently.
Xia Xia paused and looked back at Nan Ming.
The young man stood under the sun, gazing at Xia Xia. His eyes were filled with warmth.
This light was as brilliant as the sun, and it could warm others’ hearts.
Feng Ruqing followed her gaze and saw the young man standing at the back. She frowned and turned to the young girl in front of her. Her eyebrows were slightly raised. “Do you have anything to say?”
“Oh…” Nan Chiyou paused and asked, “Can I raise him?”
Feng Ruqing, Nan Xian, and Nan Ming were all speechless.
Everyone was confused when she said that. ‘She wants to raise a man?’
However, looking at the bright smile upon the little girl’s face, Feng Ruqing did not have the heart to reject her request. She looked up at Nan Ming.
‘This young man is indeed good-looking. No wonder Xia Xia is so fond of him.
‘But…’
Feng Ruqing smirked. “Wolf?”
“Mhm…” Nan Ming answered faintly, and his gaze was fixed upon Xia Xia.
The light in those eyes was as gentle as water as if it could drown a person to death without any struggle.
“Oh…” Feng Ruqing nodded. “Then, let’s go back together.”
She was too old to interfere, and the little girl was old enough and had reached the age of understanding romantic love.
Nan Xian glanced at Nan Ming coldly; a light flashed in his eyes.
‘If this little girl has a husband, she will not pester Qing’er again later…’
“Let’s go home.”
She had finally found Xia Xia… Feng Ruqing stretched her back lazily. She then slowly turned to the girl still kneeling on the ground, Liu Qingqing. She smirked.
“We seem to have forgotten that there is another one to settle.”
‘This girl wanted to frame Xia Xia…
‘How could I have forgotten about her?’
Liu Qingqing’s face was pale, and her body trembled lightly. She was about to faint, but she held her body upright.
Feng Ruqing smiled faintly. “I’m not interested in your imperial family’s internal conflicts. But you should not have framed my daughter. Based on this alone, Chang Qing Kingdom also has no reason to exist.”
