Compared to settling scores, it was better to save a person first. Especially seeing how anxious the empress was, it was obvious that the situation was not too good.

“Your Majesty, Empress!”

Suddenly a nervous voice was heard.

The empress turned her head in the direction of the voice and immediately saw a palace maid stumbling in and running over. When she saw the palace maid"s hurried actions, her heart fell as her face turned pale. “Ah Nan, what happened?”

Ah Nan was the palace maid she had left behind to take care of Qin"er. Now that she was nervously coming over, could something have happened to Qin"er?

“Empress, Princess, she…” Ah Nan"s voice was a little crying. “It seems like the princess is about to die.”

What?

The empress felt her legs weaken and almost lost consciousness.

Good thing Qi Fang reacted in time and helped support her body.

“You said, Qin"er… what happened to her?” Qi Fang"s face darkened. There was obviously the Divine Spirit Fluid to help keep her life. Nothing would happen to Qin"er for now.

How was she suddenly on the verge of death?

Ah Nan"s voice trembled. “I don"t know. The princess woke up just now. However, she spat out a mouthful of blood and then lost consciousness again. Then, I went over to check the princess"s breath. It was very weak like she is about to die…”

After the palace maid said these words, the empress felt her vision turning black and almost lost consciousness. She dug into her palms and kept herself awake with that piercing pain.

“Go to Feng Luan Palace. Quickly return to Feng Luan Palace.” The empress gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something as she held onto Feng Ruqing"s sleeve tightly. “Maiden Feng, please save Qin"er. In the past, it was my fault. I misunderstood you and had almost harmed you. It was all my fault. I beg you, please, save her…”

Tears were flowing from her eyes as pain was written all over her pale face.

In this life, the one she felt most sorry about was Qin"er.

As the saying goes, crying children have milk to drink. Yue"er had been mischievous since he was a child and liked to cry and complain. Therefore, her love and energy were all spent on Yue"er.

As for Qin"er…

She was an extremely obedient and mature child, so she paid less attention to her.

It was because she was too matured and had never caused anyone to worry about her. She was not one to cause unnecessary troubles. Therefore, she felt that she didn"t need to worry about her…

However, no matter what, Qin"er was her daughter. It was the child she carried for ten months and the child she gave birth to. Now that she heard such bad news, her heart hurt so badly like it was shrinking and the tears could not stop flowing …

“Alright.”

Feng Ruqing lowered her gaze as she looked at the old courtiers who were held mid-air by Qing Han"s vines. Soon, she retracted her gaze and looked at the palace maid, Ah Nan. “If you don"t wish for her to really die, lead me to her quickly.”

“Alright.”

Ah Nan regained her senses and responded. She even totally forgot to formally excuse herself and brought Feng Ruqing in the direction of Feng Luan Palace immediately.

Qi Fang saw the direction in which Feng Ruqing headed to and was just about to say something. However, this time, he did not say a word, taking into account the empress"s feelings.

“Empress, we should also go…”

“Get lost!”

The empress immediately raised her hand and pushed Qi Fang aside. Her footsteps were unsteady. Even if she was falling, she would not allow Qi Fang to touch her.

“Empress?” Qi Fang"s heart clenched. He looked the empress"s back as she left determinedly and felt a nagging feeling… like he had lost something.

The empress did not falter in her steps. However, her voice was somewhat desolate.

“Everyone knows that I am favored by you, and countless people are envious of this. I also used to think so too. I thought you loved Yue"er as much as I did, but now I understand, you have many children after all. How can you ever be like me? This time, Qin"er is also implicated in this… yet, Your Majesty is still thinking about making things difficult for this maiden here. If Qin"er can"t survive this time, I will never forgive you for as long as I live!”
