Chapter 1571 - Keep Waiting I (2/2)

“She’s fine…” Feng Ruqing calmly looked back at the empress. “I need to go now.”

She had been gone for quite some time, and Nan Xian must have been worried about her…

“Thank you, thank you…” The empress was so grateful that she no longer knew what to say. “Maiden Feng, I’ve treated you badly back then…”

“I did not save her because of you.”

Feng Ruqing’s tone was calm. She did not save people because of other people. She only saved the people she wanted to save.

Every time she saw Qi Qin’er, she would always think that little girl Dai’er… And even her heart softened a little.

“Oh, one more thing…” She paused, “Qi Qin’er was poisoned… It was snake venom.”

She glanced at the ministers coldly and walked away.

Those old ministers did not dare to speak again, shrinking their necks, wis.h.i.+ng to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

Fortunately, Feng Ruqing did not stay any longer. She left after giving them one last glance.

The empress’s face instantly turned cold. She released the little girl in her arms and turned to Ah Nan. “Tell me, what’s going on? How did the princess get poisoned?”

Ah Nan panicked and kneeled on the ground. Her face was as pale as paper. “I don’t know. n.o.ble Consort Lin came just now, and then that happened to the princess after she left…”

‘n.o.ble Consort Lin!’

The empress’s eyes snapped open, and she stared at n.o.ble Consort Lin angrily.

“Your Majesty…” n.o.ble Consort Lin hurriedly turned to Qi Fang. “Your Majesty, I’m innocent. I was afraid that the empress would accuse me of wanting to harm the princess, so I didn’t dare to get too close to her. But I didn’t expect that she would still blame me.”

Qi Fang lightly frowned, lowering his eyes to look at Ah Nan, who was kneeling on the ground. “Did n.o.ble Consort Lin come to Qin’er? I want to know the truth.”
