The physician froze. His face was pale, and his eyes filled with panic.
But still, he gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Are you sure you don’t know?” Little Nine sauntered toward the physician. Her calmness scared him. “Or… You can’t admit it?”
The physician took a few steps back and looked at Mu Qingya with a pleading gaze.
Mu Qingya gritted her teeth and stood out. “Sister, you do not need to make things difficult for this physician. Is it fun to bully others? If you don’t want to admit it, then I will admit it for you. Liu Lan, it is my fault. I, alone, am willing to take all the responsibility as long as you do not drag down my family! Is that enough?”
She looked serious, and her eyes were filled with determination.
It made everyone look at her again.
Mu Qingya’s sorrowful tears flowed. “I know that this is my fault. I shouldn’t have gone to my cousin to rant. But these days, I have suffered too much, and I didn’t dare to tell my father for fear of making him worried.
“But I am only human. I am also a normal person who will feel hurt and sad. I want to treat you as my sister, but why do you always target me? Just because your man has taken an interest in me?”
The crowd was surprised.
Before this, everyone did not know why Little Nine targeted Mu Qingya.
They did not expect that it was all for a man.
Mu Qingya already had a future husband, Di Ming. So how could she possibly fall for Little Nine’s man?
It must be that the man was making a fool of her, and as a result, Little Nine had grown resentful toward her sister because of a man.
“A man?” The Ninth Emperor froze for a moment, gazing blankly and looking at Mu Qingya in confusion. “Are you talking about… Nan Changfeng?”
‘Nan Changfeng…’
The tears in Mu Qingya’s eyes were flowing like rivers.
“It’s him. I don’t like him, so why do you have to target me so much? It’s him who has taken an interest in me. I didn’t seduce him! I was so aggrieved that I approached my cousin to rant, and I asked her to come to you because I wanted to explain to you clearly! I didn’t mean anything else, and I never thought… You would hurt my cousin.”
Mu Qingya’s face was filled with deep pain, and there was regret and guilt in her eyes.
This made Prince Min freeze, unable to blame her again.
He thought that Mu Qingya was deliberately using Lan’er to get revenge, but he did not expect that she was afraid that Little Nine would get even angrier after seeing her, so she had asked Lan’er to help.
However, Lan’er misunderstood her and went to find Little Nine to settle scores, which led to this.
Though, even if Mu Qingya was innocent, he still did not like her anymore.
Regardless of whether Mu Qingya was at fault or not, it was a fact that she had almost dragged Lan’er down that he could not forgive her.
Yet, he also had no excuse to punish her.
Prince Min turned to look at Little Nine. “I didn’t expect you to treat your sister like this. You are really vicious! Now, you’re still excusing that it was Lan’er who was poisoned. Ridiculous!”
Sima Yan was somewhat dumbfounded.
Mu Qingya said that the young man, who he had also seen before, liked her…
But that young man’s strength was also extraordinary. Even with just a glance, he could feel that the young man was quite powerful.
Mu Qingya was saying that the young man had taken an interest in her? That was ridiculous.
