Chapter 1571: Keep Waiting I

Feng Ruqing walked toward the minister expressionlessly. "You cursed my daughter? And how dare you curse twice?"

The minister was stunned.

'Isn't that what you asked me to say?

'I've said it, and now you are treating me like this...'

'You're a bully!'

Feng Ruqing turned sideways to look at the ministers who spoke just now. "All of you have also cursed me back then... I recognize all of your voices. Now, I want you to say again what you've said about me..."

The ministers were speechless.

'This woman will beat us to death if we say it again, but she will still beat us if we don't... What should we do?'

All the ministers were shivering as they quickly turned to Qi Fang, pleading for help. But they suddenly found that Qi Fang was staring at the doorway happily.

The ministers were slightly startled. They, too, turned to look at what Qi Fang was looking at and saw the cute little girl.

The little girl's eyes were slightly timid, wanting to come out, but also a little afraid, standing restlessly at the door.

"Qin'er..."

Tears flowed down from the empress's eyes. She rushed forward and pulled Qi Qin'er into her embrace.

Her body trembled a bit, but the weight on her heart was finally lifted.

Noble Consort Lin froze, and her breath grew heavier. She clenched her fists tightly, and her face was slightly livid.

'That person said that the poison could kill Qi Qin'er, but why is she still alive?

Third Prince looked surprised as he turned to Feng Ruqing. His eyes sunk, wondering what he was thinking about...

"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, wishing 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. Noble Consort Lin came just now, and then that happened to the princess after she left..."

'Noble Consort Lin!'

The empress's eyes snapped open, and she stared at Noble Consort Lin angrily.

"Your Majesty..." Noble 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 Noble Consort Lin come to Qin'er? I want to know the truth."
