"Pa!"
She forcefully threw a slap at Ning Shu. The golden armor studded with jewels mercilessly left several glaring red marks on her face.
Cao Hou's voice was like a fingernail scratching glass as it echoed in this large and cold palace, "Ning Shu, do you think that ben gong doesn't dare to kill you? Now that things have come to this, whether it is the imperial court or the harem, everything is in ben gong's hands. What does ben gong have to worry about? Even if that Xiahou Qing is willing to pull the entire Cloud Swallow Province to rebel for you, ben gong has nothing to fear! Moreover, he himself is like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to even protect himself. Don't forget why you came to kneel and beg ben gong today! "
Ning Shu's head turned to the side from this slap. Her ears buzzed and a cut appeared at the corner of her mouth, dripping with blood. Facing such a thunderous rage, Ning Shu's expression remained calm without a trace of emotion. She reached out and slowly wiped away the blood, then turned to Cao Hou and said, "For Niang niang to be so angry, doesn't this prove that this subject's daughter has guessed correctly what you are thinking? This subject's daughter is kneeling and begging for the safety of my younger brother. If Empress wants to kill Ning Shu to vent your anger, you can take this life at any time. If Ning Shu cries out, she will never be human again. Venting his anger on an ignorant child, how could it be considered an upright action? Is this what Empress meant by weighing the pros and cons and upholding the Great Dao? Isn't this making a fool of yourself? "
Her plain words did not even have any ups and downs, but they were able to expose the false righteousness that Cao Hou had just created. In reality, they were all just excuses for his own selfish interests. Power and prestige were the most charming things in the world, but they were also the most terrifying demons. When they put on the curse of being a hero, they would be bound by it for the rest of their lives and gradually become the demons' puppets.
Cao Hou's face completely distorted. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her vision darkened and her chest heaved violently. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to maintain her last bit of honor and pride as the empress, she would have beaten Ning Shu to death on the spot. When Cao Hou's second slap came, she thought that Ning Shu wouldn't dare to dodge this time and could only close her eyes and accept the slap. She hadn't expected that she would make a mistake.
Ning Shu suddenly raised her hand and grabbed that noble hand, squeezing it in her palm. She raised her slender chin and the corners of her mouth rose, revealing an extremely faint smile, "Empress doesn't think that Ning Shu's visit today is really to seek death, right? Could it be that you think too lowly of Ning Shu? "
Cao Hou did not think that she would dare to do such a thing and did not react in time. It took him two tries before he managed to free his wrist from her grasp. Taking a step back, the palace maid's dagger was already at Ning Shu's neck, "Ha! Ning Shu, your mouth is as stubborn as ever. This consort is very curious about what other tricks you have up your sleeves! "
Ning Shu was forced to crane her neck, but she wasn't afraid. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly that was ready to take flight at any time, "It can't be considered a trick. I just don't know if Empress has thought about this. If Consort Qi had an accident, would the Fourth Prince still be restrained by you?"
"What have you done!"
Ning Shu shook her head lightly, as if sighing softly, "Now that you have great power in your hands, killing us and destroying our corpses is a simple matter. I'm afraid that even if we turn into ashes, no one will know our whereabouts. In this kind of situation, even if Ning Shu was despicable, she had no other choice. This was something that Empress personally taught me. "
