Chapter 9: She Cannot Die (2/2)

If she can't serve the Empress, what would be the result?

“My royal empress…”

”Shut up, quit!” Empress Xiao is almost mad at her. With a loud rebuke, Mammy Liu immediately keeps silent.

“Ruan Jiujiu, Princess Changle is poisoned, how do you explain it?” Empress Xiao is too tired to pay attention to her old and bewildered servant. It is important to turn her eyes to Jiujiu, who looks relaxed.

Jiujiu gives herself another needle to make her legs comfortable. She raises her eyebrows and says calmly, ”Princess’ situation is not a trivial matter. It is better to call a doctor to take care of her.”

Empress Xiao is shocked that Jiujiu does not care about anything. She even does not take her words seriously at all.

Princess Changle is really well. She just pretends to be faint to find a reason of killing Jiujiu.

If their trick is exposed, then they will have no excuse to let her die. But it is impossible to sentence her to death without any reason.

But if they let Jiujiu escape in this way, as an Empress and Princess, their behavior would be ridiculous.

For a moment, Empress Xiao feels that she has been foolish to follow the idea of Princess Changle.

”Princess, princess, she vomited blood!” Suddenly a palace maid is screaming loudly. As soon as Empress Xiao turns her head, she sees Princess Changle suddenly turn blue and her mouth bleeding.

After seeing this, Empress Xiao's face sinks, ”Now what would you want to say?” Jiujiu is also shocked. She just takes a glance at Princess Changle who is pretending to close her eyes and be faint, even without restraining her breathing.

But now it seems that Princess Changle is really poisoned!

She stands up immediately and goes to Princess Changle. Seeing this, Empress Xiao shouts, ”Now that Ruan Jiujiu dares to murder the princess, arrest her, now!”

Jiujiu is about to set back, but her legs suddenly ache. Even though she tries hard to escape away from one palace maid, she cannot get rid of the two. Soon the guards outside rush in, and Jiujiu is surrounded by them all of a sudden.

”Ruan Jiujiu, how dare you murder the princess? I should directly sentence you to death!” Empress Xiao stares at Jiujiu coldly, her intention to kill Jiujiu being completely revealed.

Jiujiu knows that Empress Xiao really means it. Today, Qingqing, Princess Changle and all want her to die. Now is the right time.

She bites her lip and looks around. It is difficult, or impossible, to escape from here.

Is she really going to die here today?

Looking around, there are so many people in the hall, but all of them are ruthless, and all of them are looking forward to her death.

Jiujiu bites her lip and sees Beiming Ting coming in. When their eyes come across, she then comes up with an idea.

”Your Highness!”

As soon as Beiming Ting comes in, Jiujiu calls out. He looks up and notices that Jiujiu is trapped in the middle of the palace.

”Your Highness, the Empress sentences me to death, but I haven't said something really important to you when we were talking outside just now. Would you please come over and let me finish?” Jiujiu says very quickly, hoping that Beiming Ting is not too stupid to know what she means.

Empress Xiao hears that and immediately turns to Beiming Ting, ”My son, this is the matter of my own. You don't need to get involved.”

Beiming Ting looks at Jiujiu without saying anything.

Today’s Jiujiu is so different that it makes him have different opinion of her. Perhaps she really holds the secret.

If so, she can't die.
