Chapter 1083: Whatever Makes You Happy

Mu Xue slowly scrutinized Ning Shu’s face, then she lowered her head like she didn’t dare to look straight at the sacred countenance. “Imperial Mother, have you seen an imperial physician? If you aren’t feeling well, don’t just endure it.”

Ning Shu’s expression was very cold. “Why would we endure it? What would we endure it for?”

Mu Xue’s handsome brows furrowed, then she respectfully said, “This subject daughter is simply worried about Imperial Mother’s health. However, if Imperial Mother feels that it’s fine, then it’s good.”

Ning Shu’s interpretation of Mu Xue’s words was: Whatever makes you happy.


She was pretty much already at her limits trying to seem normal in front of all these people. After giving the withdraw command, she immediately turned and left.

When she got back to her resting palace, she threw herself on the bed. It felt like countless knives were carving at her bones. That pain was so great that her consciousness was fading.

She silently chanted the heart-clearing chant. Since there was no way to cure this, all she could do was hypnotize herself.

That f*cking bastard! There was no way this ma’am will let you off! Get ready to die as soon as this ma’am finds you!

If he was going to kill her, couldn’t he just stab her? Why insist on tormenting her?

Ning Shu glanced at Court Lady Qiu who was standing at the side, her face filled with worry. The person she usually interacted with the most was Court Lady Qiu. If it had been her doing, then Ning Shu expressed that her acting skill was seriously high enough to burst out of the universe.

Ning Shu could sense that Court Lady Qiu was loyal towards her, but it was impossible to be sure about anything.

The other possibility was Liu Changqing. She also interacted quite a bit with Liu Changqing and had even spent a night in Phoenix Perch Palace. She had no idea what happened after she fell asleep.

She added Liu Changqing to the list of suspects.

The fourth prince, Mu Yao, was probably just a cute lil’ sis. A person’s eyes didn’t lie. How could a task-taker act that simple and pure? It was hard to be such a pure sweet idiot.

And then there was… Mu Xue. Ning Shu was most suspicious of Mu Xue. If the soul inside Mu Xue’s body was a task-taker, then that meant there was a task-taker counterattacking for Mu Xue. The original Mu Xue who had become cannon fodder had offered up her soul for a counterattack.

If the soul inside Mu Xue’s body had been female, she could’ve just gone along with it, but it simply had to be a man. Furthermore, that task-taker seemed to be someone with great ambition who wanted to make males the dominate power in this society.

As soon as a way of thinking emerged, it could no longer be suppressed.

Most importantly, he actually cursed her! So despite the pain, there was no way she’d allow him to complete his task easily.

If this lady is going to die, you’re coming too!

“Your Majesty, allow this servant to go find an imperial physician? Why are you in so much pain?” Court Lady Qiu was besides herself with worry. Ning Shu waved dismissively. “Don’t. No need to call an imperial physician, bring the memorials on the table over to us.”

Ning Shu didn’t want to move at all. Court Lady Qiu brought the memorials to Ning Shu, but Ning Shu’s eyes were very blurred. The words on the memorials were very blurry and she was even seeing doubles.

“Read it to us,” said Ning Shu.

“This servant doesn’t dare.” Court Lady Qiu fell to a kneel on the ground. Ning Shu said mildly, “If we say you can, you can.”

Finally, Court Lady Qiu started reading the memorials one by one for Ning Shu so that Ning Shu could understand what was going on.

Every time Court Lady Qiu finished reading a memorial, Ning Shu would pick up the cinnabar brush to draw a circle on the memorial. In order to prevent her hands from shaking too much, she had to hold her right hand with her left.

Ning Shu: …

It was seriously really painful.
