Chapter 996: Where Was Shame?
No wonder Xuan Xiaotian had been searching for him so hard. It hadn’t been just because of Shangguan Qingrou, it was also for this seal.
Ning Shu then headed towards their next destination, Jiang Province.
Rushing about every day like this made Ning Shu feel like she had aged a lot. Her hands had been rough from the start, but now they were even rougher, to the point that it scratched at her face when she washed her face.
Ning Shu was a little confused. Xuan Hongyu had already been pronounced dead, so what was the point in him having a military seal?
Ning Shu originally wanted to ask, but afterwards she felt it was best not to ask about these secrets.
From the looks of things, Xuan Hongyu didn’t insist on heading back to the capital anymore either. Every time Ning Shu simmered the medicine for Xuan Hongyu, she’d add a bit of the antidote so that Xuan Hongyu would slowly recover.
When Xuan Hongyu saw that some of the sores on his body were scabbing, he was a little taken aback. That old to the point of having one foot in the coffin doctor actually had real skills?
After they finally got to Jiang Province, Xuan Hongyu used some method to directly take over the military in Jiang Province, then he used his identity as the resolved prince to question Xuan Xiaotian. He said that Shangguan Qingrou, this empress, was licentious and didn’t have the right to be the mother of a nation. He demanded that this empress be removed, otherwise he’d attack the capital with the Jiang Province military.
Ning Shu: (⊙o⊙)
When Ning Shu heard the order Xuan Hongyu dispatched, she questioned how exactly Xuan Hongyu’s skin developed. The empress was licentious? How were you any better? You had a relationship with your own sister-in-law! You were part of the entire problem, yet you still used this as a reason to threaten Xuan Xiaotian?
Where was shame?
Xuan Xiaotian hadn’t used this reason to destroy you, but you actually turned around and accused the empress of being licentious?
She had never seen a person this thick-skinned.
As of now, Xuan Xiaotian had probably puked blood from anger.
Shangguan Qingrou’s situation wasn’t good in the first place. The only reason she had managed to sit on the throne of empress was because Xuan Xiaotian truly had feelings for her. However, Xuan Hongyu couldn’t stand to see them happy and issued this kind of order to rip open again the previous covered wound.
“Ding, task complete. Leave task world?” 2333’s voice appeared.
Ning Shu said, “Wait for a bit.”
Ning Shu placed all the antidote in the medicine and carried it over for Xuan Hongyu to drink. After drinking this, all the sores should fade.
Ning Shu stroked Xuan Miexiao’s head. If Xuan Miexiao could accompany Eleven and allow Eleven to experience the life of a normal person, that would probably be pretty good.
“2333, leave task world,” said Ning Shu to 2333.
This task counted as complete. The current Xuan Hongyu possessed control over the Jiang Province military, so it would serve as a shield for him. Since he possessed troops, he wouldn’t die as easily anymore.
Actually, Xuan Hongyu sure hid his intentions deeply. Where exactly did he get that military seal?
Xuan Hongyu and Xuan Xiaotian were both people of the imperial family. Everything they did carried motives. Shangguan Qingrou who had a free soul was actually quite pitiful. She couldn’t understand the hidden motives of these two at all.
Xuan Hongyu wanted to be emperor, but the late emperor had passed the throne to Xuan Xiaotian and even kicked him out of the capital so that he couldn’t enter the capital without being summoned.
So Xuan Hongyu was making use of Shangguan Qingrou as a pretext to attack the capital.
In the past, Shangguan Qingrou had served as the trigger to the fight between the crown prince, Xuan Hongyu, and Xuan Xiaotian. And now, because of Shangguan Qingrou, Xuan Hongyu and Xuan Xiaotian were still battling fiercely.
All struggles for power and desire to massacre required a tender-hearted mask. Shangguan Qingrou didn’t govern the country, but she was in a seat of power, so she became both the excuse and target of men.
Ning Shu felt a dizziness hit her.
See you, Xuan Hongyu. Wait no, hope there’s not a next time.
