Her heart thumped and her body froze like a rock. Ning Shu ordered herself to raise her head and look at Empress Cao with the most fervent gaze, looking at her last sliver of life.
She had died seven times before, so death was nothing out of the ordinary for her. But in this life, it was too rare. This once in a thousand years opportunity allowed her to return to the starting point. She hadn't been able to prevent Duke Ning's tragedy, nor had she been able to help Xiahou Qing solve the mystery of the plum blossom kiss. She hadn't had time to change anything. She wouldn't allow herself to die so easily! Absolutely not!
The palace maid next to her laughed and said, "Why did His Majesty ask Her Highness to do it for him? Isn't this a simple question? Because His Majesty trusts Her Highness."
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows and curled her lips. She said in a mysterious tone, "Is it really just trust? My daughter doesn't think so. "
The palace maid frowned, thinking that she had seen through her trick, "Then what else could it be? I think it's just that you're about to die, but you're still trying to use your glib tongue to make a last-ditch struggle. You're overestimating yourself! "
At this moment, Ning Shu no longer had any fear. She smiled coldly, "Perhaps my daughter is overestimating herself. But after my death, Her Highness might not know the real reason."
Empress Cao, who was sitting on the high floor, raised her eyes to admire her obvious performance. It was as if she was looking at an insignificant ant. She snorted and said with disdain, "You want to trick ben gong with such a clumsy method of provocation?"
Meeting her cold gaze, Ning Shu's eyes seemed to be burning with fire, "Her Highness is wise. Naturally, you can see through my daughter's goal. But in any case, my daughter is going to die. It's only a matter of time before she dies. It will only delay Her Highness a little bit. What is there to be concerned about? Or is it that Her Highness doesn't dare to listen? "
At this moment, she had changed from her previous respectful and timid appearance. She was showing off her ability, which made Empress Cao a little interested. The corners of Empress Cao's mouth lifted slightly. She looked at her coldly and didn't say anything for a long time. It wasn't until Ning Shu's heartbeat reached its peak that she finally raised her hand and ordered the eunuchs, "Cai Bin, let her go first. I would like to hear what kind of flower her silver tongue will bloom."
Ning Shu finally grasped the thread that was hanging on her little life. She rubbed her wrist that was hurting from being pinched and exhaled silently. She pushed aside the two palace servants who had almost killed her just now and walked past the two wine cups filled with poison. She slowly walked to the bottom of the stairs closest to Empress Cao. She constantly recalled the tone of Xiahou Qing's voice and then imitated it. Unhurriedly, she said, "Because His Majesty wanted to use me to test Empress."
Her words made Empress Cao narrow her eyes, but there was a bone-piercing coldness in her eyes. "Ha, what a joke. Why would His Majesty test this empress for no reason? "
If it was any other time, Ning Shu would have immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness. However, she clearly knew that this move was useless today. The only thing she could do was to use her sharpness to pierce the core. "Because whether it is the case of Phoenix Terrace or the case of the cursed horoscope, the one who benefits in the end is none other than you, Her Highness!"
As expected, Empress Cao was successfully infuriated by her. She slapped the armrest of the phoenix throne with her hand that was wearing exquisite armor. Empress Cao's low and angry roar pierced through the spacious Phoenix Algae Palace.
"How dare you!!! You want to drive a wedge between His Majesty and this empress? Someone, immediately poison this Ning Shu who is spreading lies to deceive the public! "
