Chapter 37.1 - Biting off the tongue to commit suicide
Bonus chapter for Rosana and domudomuchua for [also Dillycat] ♡ ♡ ♡
Apart from the emperor sitting on the master seat, the empress and Feng Yege sat on either side of him whilst other people stood in the main hall.
In front, the midwife and the imperial doctors all knelt down.
The consort Ying that they announced would die - had already come back to life, so the fact that the emperor hadn’t already rushed to chop off their heads was already a good sign.
“Yege, you said this was the ‘no sons gra.s.s’, have you seen it before?”
Feng Yege’s indifferent eyes swept through the ten or so pots of medicinal herbs, slowly and carefully speaking, “Never seen the real thing but
He finished speaking and deeply looked at Lou Qingwu for a moment.
The latter was silent until they heard
She jolted for a moment as she turned around to look at Feng Yege’s face before silently turning back.
Lou Qingwu didn’t even consider the possibility that Feng Yege had seen that medicinal book before.
She had suffered under the hands of the ‘no sons gra.s.s’.
So it had become her recurring nightmare; she flipped through numerous types of medicines before finally seeing this ‘no sons gra.s.s’ record.
“Oh? If it’s you, Feng Yege, who is confirming, then this emperor will believe that Lou family’s eldest daughters’ words. Lou family’s eldest daughter, you agree that the empress has been wronged and in a way, this ‘no sons gra.s.s’ is the real culprit behind the little prince’s death. But we can’t let the empress go like this, so, how will you prove her innocence?”
Everyone held their breaths as they waited for Lou Qingwu’s response.
She silently lowered her lids, her side profile remaining calm, virtuous and gentle, “Reporting to the emperor, this is because subject-girl knows who the person framing the empress is.”
“Ah?” Everyone cried out in shock.
Who was it?
They all searched around them, and even the emperor and Xiahou Rui revealed shocked expressions.
In this large palace hall, only Feng Yege and Lou Qingwu had no expressions on their faces.
Feng Yege’s mouth showed a hint of a smile, but his whole body didn’t have any hint of life.
He gave off a surreal feeling.
“You, are you for real? Who is it?” Overcoming his shock, the emperor suddenly sat up.
Lou Qingwu’s eyes carelessly swept through everyone as everyone’s hearts were about to jump out of their chests, fearing that she would speak their name.
But Lou Qingwu made a full circle before falling upon the kneeling midwife’s body, “It’s her.”
“You’re speaking nonsense!”
The midwife was scared silly, “Emperor, please spare my life. This old servant would never do anything to harm the consort!”
As she spoke, she kowtowed as if her life depended on it, about to kowtow out blood from her forehead.
The emperor looked at her with disgust, forcibly pus.h.i.+ng down his discomfort, he looked towards Lou Qingwu, “Are you sure it’s her?”
Lou Qingwu didn’t answer but slowly made her way to the front, standing in front of the midwife.
She stared directly at the midwife until she uncomfortably raised her head, clearly frightened as she despairingly called out, “Lou eldest miss, how did this old servant offend your eyes, how could you harm this old servant like this?”
Lou Qingwu only continued to look at her until she felt even more and more uncomfortable, even more and more guilty.
Her head lowered even more and more as her psyche was about to fall apart.
Suddenly, Lou Qingwu spoke, but this time, it was loud and severe, “Where did you discover the voodoo doll?!”
“Ah, bed, underneath the bed!” The midwife was shocked as she answered instinctively.
Hearing her response, Lou Qingwu’s mouth wickedly twitched.
She was satisfied as she turned around, her face quickly recovering her usual calm composure.
“Emperor, subject-girl has finished questioning her.”
“Finished questioning?” The people in the palace had clearly been frightened by her and had only just heard her.
They all froze, what kind of confirmation was this?
They all faced each other, only half understanding.
