After receiving the praise, Wang Wanqing was in such a good mood that she hummed a little tune and jumped on the way back.

She is completely like a child who has not grown up, and doesn't look like the ruthless female official Wang at all.

When I walked to the residence, I saw Chu Lingyi sitting blankly at the door, looking like a body with the soul sucked out of it.

Just then, the imperial physician Ning Can came over, and Wang Wanqing asked quietly, "Uncle Ning, what happened to her?"

Ning Can's mustache twitched: "Xiao Jingming ran away to find her, but she chopped off his legs and he died."

Wang Wanqing opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Sure, that's cruel!"

He is fit to be a general.

Ning Can glanced at the cute but actually ferocious little girl, shook his head, and walked towards Chu Lingyi: "Miss Chu, please let me see your injuries."

Ning Can is the son of Ning Chong. He inherited his father's true skills and is particularly good at orthopedics.

Ning Chong was too old to bear the heavy workload, so Xiao Li brought his son out to serve as an army doctor.

Chu Lingyi's injuries recovered very well and there was no big problem originally, but she used violence today and needed to be checked.

In fact, there was no need for Ning Can to come, any assistant would do, but Chu Lingyi was highly valued by His Majesty, so Ning Can still came to see it in person.

Although Chu Lingyi was still in a daze, she stretched her legs when asked to do so and lifted her feet when asked to do so.

After Ning Shen finished the examination, he concluded: "No problem, no impact, just change the medicine."

The assistant quickly changed the medicine and the two of them left.

Ning Can is only responsible for treating injuries, everything else is not within his scope of responsibility.

Wang Wanqing wanted to comfort her, but she had no experience in this kind of thing and had no idea how to persuade her.

Or, should we ask His Majesty?

no!

Wang Wanqing shook her head repeatedly to dispel this terrible idea.

Your Majesty will beat her to the ground.

"Lord Wang."

Chu Lingyi interrupted Wang Wanqing's wandering thoughts.

Wang Wanqing pretended to cough: "Ahem, what's wrong?"

Chu Lingyi asked: "Am I... too cruel?"

She cut off Xiao Jingming's legs, and Xiao Jingming died as a result, so it could be said that she killed him.

At that time, I was very emotional and couldn't suppress my hatred, but when I calmed down, I thought about the fact that I had killed someone, and the person I killed was a man I once loved, and I couldn't calm down at all.

Wang Wanqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Chu Lingyi shook her head: "No regrets."

She did not regret slashing Chu Jingming with the knife. He had deceived her, hurt her so badly, and even implicated his brother. He deserved to have his leg chopped off.

"But I didn't want to kill him."

"It's not that I couldn't bear to see him die, but I never thought of killing him myself."

Wang Wanqing sat down next to her. "I'm a civil servant. I've never killed anyone, so I don't understand how you feel. But if you can't figure it out, would you like to hear my story with His Majesty?"

Chu Lingyi nodded almost without hesitation.

Wang Wanqing actually just said this on a whim, but when it comes to what happened between her and His Majesty, she finds it quite bizarre.

Although she recalled the past countless times after His Majesty fell into a coma, this was the first time she told it to others.

"To tell you the story, I have to start from the first time I met Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty was still Princess Xuanyang..."

Wang Wanqing always felt that she had known His Majesty for a very long time, but if she really counted, the time they had spent together was very limited.

When she first met His Majesty, she was still an ordinary lady from a wealthy family, waiting to be arranged to get married by her parents. Her life was unremarkable and the end of it was foreseeable.

His Majesty was the first person to put aside all other considerations and affirm her abilities, and she developed a favorable impression of His Majesty.

Later, her cousin developed evil intentions towards His Majesty, and she almost became an enemy of His Majesty.

But even so, His Majesty saved her when she was most desperate, gave her a cloak, picked up the injured girl and sent her to her aunt, giving her a new path in life.

Later, when the throne was fought for, His Majesty ascended the throne and the Wang family took sides and was convicted, but His Majesty never blamed her. He even allowed her and her aunt to participate in government affairs and display their strengths.

As Wang Wanqing spoke, she no longer knew what she was saying.

She felt so happy every minute she spent with His Majesty. It felt like they had been together for a very long time, but when she really counted the time, it wasn't much.

She really wanted to be Hongyue and accompany His Majesty at all times, but she also promised His Majesty that she would be his most capable female official. Alas!

She tilted her head to look at Chu Lingyi: "Are you confused by what I said?"

Chu Lingyi nodded: "A little, but His Majesty is so good to you."

She was envious after hearing that.

Although she has a brother, Chu Yungui is cold and aloof, and keeps everything in his heart. It was only when he came to save her this time that she deeply felt that her brother cared about her. Thinking about the beatings she received when practicing martial arts in the past, it would be better if she didn't have this brother.

Wang Wanqing leaned against the pillar, her eyes fixed on the Empress. "I don't know what it's like to like a man, nor can I understand your feelings. But I do understand one thing: if the person you meet is a good person, your life will definitely get better and better. If that person drags you into the abyss, then he deserves to die."

"Besides, killing one person is nothing. His Majesty has killed countless people."

She laughed sarcastically as she spoke, "Those traitors and traitors are now accusing Your Majesty of killing her husband the most. But do you think that has affected Your Majesty's rule over the world?"

She also fantasized: "Don't say I don't have a husband. If I really have a husband, if he dares to hurt me, I will definitely kill him, so that I can be like His Majesty."

Chu Lingyi: “…”?

Lady Wang’s idea is very dangerous.

However, after she said this, the haze that shrouded Chu Lingyi did dissipate a lot.

Then Wang Wanqing fell to the ground with a thud.

Wang Wanqing was overworked and overexcited, and finally fainted.

Chu Lingyi: I was wondering why you started talking nonsense. Turns out you were sick.

Xiao Li came to see Wang Wanqing, and Ning Can said that she was just sleeping and was fine.

"His Majesty."

Chu Lingyi called out to Xiao Li, "Your Majesty, Xiao Jingming said he bribed a Silver Armor Guard with a jade pendant and was released. He also told him my address."

Anyone who has seen the Silver Armor Guards knows that they will never betray the Empress.

Xiao Jingming is the son of King Xian and an important captive of the Empress. How could the Silver Armor Guards let him go just for a jade pendant?

Xiao Li didn't answer her, but just looked up at her lightly, then turned and left.

Chu Lingyi stood there, her whole body stiff, her heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar, and her pupils were trembling with fear.

Chu Lingyi always thought that His Majesty was a good man. After all, from the moment they met, His Majesty had shown kindness to her. The His Majesty described by the princess was an extremely gentle and good man who doted on her and was extremely tolerant of her.

But that’s the emperor.

As a woman, she achieved the reputation of a tyrant.

That look was awe-inspiring, murderous, and filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

And she...actually tried to question the emperor.
