  Mu Qing looked at Ning Shu with a conflicted expression. “Aren’t you the emperor? Why aren’t you calling for imperial physicians and having them take a look at you?”


  “Even if they do, it’s a waste of effort. They won’t be able to save me anyways, so no point wasting that time,” answered Ning Shu, unconcerned. “We’ve already finished drafting the change of inheritance decree.”


  Ning Shu handed Mu Qing a military seal. “This is the military seal to mobilize Daylily City’s imperial guards. We’ll come up with some way to deal with the crown prince, but if we don’t make it in time, you’ll have to battle with her. If you can’t win against her and end up dying, then you frickin’ deserved it.”


  Mu Qing: ……

  The most malicious existence was a woman’s heart.

  This old witch dragged her into this, then died to rid herself of this problem and push it onto her? How can you troll someone like this?

  “We will be introducing you to everyone tomorrow. From now on, you’re the fifth prince, Mu Qing.” Ning Shu paused for a moment to gasp for breath, then said, “Prepare properly.”


  Mu Qing pressed her lips together. “Even if you do this, I’ll still hate you.”


  “What does whether or not you hate us have anything to do with us? Whatever makes you happy.” Ning Shu didn’t mind at all.

  Mu Qing seriously felt helpless. How could such a person exist in this world?

  The next day, Mu Qing support Ning Shu as she headed to court. Mu Qing was now dressed in luxurious clothing that made her possess much stronger of an imposing aura and also look much prettier.

  The emperor had suddenly brought a woman here, so all the ministers were confused and scrutinized Mu Qing curiously.

  Ning Shu directly said, “This is the fifth prince Mu Qing. She grew up in the cold palace. We’re now adding her name into the imperial clan record.”


  All the ministers knelt down and said congratulations. As for what they were actually thinking, who knew?

  In any case, Mu Qing was now in the sights of all the ministers.

  After announcing Mu Qing’s identity, everything still had to be done according to the customs. Ning Shu didn’t arrange for Mu Qing to live in a luxurious palace and instead, found a palace next to the cold palace for her to stay in for now. Once the new prince’s residence was built, she’d move out to live in that residence.

  This attitude made it so that people couldn’t really tell whether or not Ning Shu actually liked Mu Qing. It was almost as if she didn’t care about this new fifth prince at all.

  Ning Shu handed all the power she had on hand to Mu Qing. If Mu Qing still couldn’t beat Mu Xue with this, then there was nothing she could do. She didn’t have much hope of completing this task in the first place.

  The rumors going around were getting worse, they all said that the emperor didn’t have much longer to live. The ministers repeatedly requested that Ning Shu allow Mu Xue out to monitor the nation.

  Ning Shu was calm as Mount Tai. She paid no attention to these people. This daddy was about to die anyways, why the hell would this daddy be scared of you? If you wanted to admonish the emperor by committing suicide, that was even better. We can all just die together.

  These ministers couldn’t bear to kill themselves though. They were just trying to curry favor with Mu Xue, this future emperor, since Ning Shu seemed about to breathe her last.

  “Can’t you just have an imperial physician take a look at you?” Every time Mu Qing saw this old witch’s more dead than alive appearance, she’d feel her hair rise on end. The sight of this old witch puking blood without even the slightest change in expression especially challenged her fragile sanity.

  Ning Shu wiped the black blood at the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, then said lightly, “Once you ascend to the throne, deal with the people on this list accordingly.”


  Mu Qing curled her lips in disdain. “What makes you think I’ll manage to sit on the throne? You sure look confident. You shouldn’t forget that you still have a legitimate successor.”


  “Then give the military seal back to us?” Ning Shu glanced at Mu Qing. Mu Qing immediately said, “You’re the emperor, how can the monarch of yesterday and tomorrow be so fickle? Don’t you feel any shame taking back something you’ve already gifted out?”


  “Humph. You’re sure affected.” Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Who knows how much you desire it in the inside, yet you still insist on acting like this. Who are you acting for? Since you want to be the emperor, you should understand your duties.”


  Mu Qing: Damned old witch.

  “Is there seriously no way to treat this illness of yours?” Mu Qing bit her lips, then said, “I don’t see you taking any medicine or calling for an imperial physician. You shouldn’t abandon yourself to despair like this.”


  Ning Shu was a bit speechless. If this could be cured, why the heck would she give up on treatment?

  Ning Shu vomited another mouthful of black blood. The blood was starting to stink a little. Her insides were probably already starting to rot.

  “You haven’t met your eldest imperial sister yet right? We’ll take you to see her,” said Ning Shu. A plan was faintly forming.
