Thump! Ziling fell to the floor with a palm attack and started to cough up blood.
A sly glint flashed across Xu Ziling’s eyes, as she then conjured her inner breath in her right hand and mercilessly slapped her left shoulder. The impact made her injury worse.
“Princess[1], what’s wrong?” Princess Ziling’s two maids asked in tears, as they immediately kneeled in front of her.
Han Moze arrived at the Dark Moon Palace after the court ended, and saw this kind of scene. A ruthless glint shot from Liu Rushuang’s eyes, as Ziling fell to the floor and coughed up blood. With her shoulder covered, her right hand was covered in blood.
Then, he took a big step forward and supported Ziling up. “Hurry! Call the doctor!” He cried, as he shot Liu Rushuang a ferocious glance.
Liu Rushuang’s entire body trembled from his ice-cold scowl and she stood on the spot in her tensed frame.
The doctor checked Xu Ziling’s injury and sighed. “Princess Ziling’s wound is rather severe and needs a month of good rest and recuperation. I will be sure to heal Princess Ziling, so please don’t worry Your Majesty.”
“I understand. Go prescribe the medicine,” Han Moze said with an ice-cold look on his face.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Ziling’s face was pale white, as she forced the words to come out. “Brother Han, don’t be mad at Her Majesty over this. It’s my fault for not being likeable, causing Her Majesty to attack me. Wahh wahhh… it’s all my fault.”
“You don’t have to speak for that woman. Just stay here and get well soon. I will often come to see you,” Han Moze said in a chilling voice.
With that said, Han Moze walked off.
Ziling smiled proudly. This time, Brother Han should brutally punish her, right? Who knows? He might even divorce that wench.
“Hehe…” Ziling broke into an endless chilling laugh.
Han Moze arrived at the Dark Moon Palace to find Liu Rushuang leisurely painting, and furiously questioned her. “Let’s not talk about how you hit attacked someone without so much as asking how she was, but you’re actually still in the mood to paint?”
Liu Rushuang slowly put down the brush and looked directly at Han Moze. “If I told you that Xu Ziling pushed me first and I only retaliated, would you believe me? Also, I didn’t use that much power. To be injured so severely, Xu Ziling did it to herself.”
Han Moze’s eyes quivered. Unbelievable. Deep down inside, he believed Shuang’er but couldn’t rule out the truth of what Xu Ziling had said. After some thought, he said, “What proof do you have that Xu Ziling’s trying to frame you and you didn’t hurt her?”
Liu Rushuang slightly furrowed her brows. Today, when Xu Ziling went out, the palace maids all stood at a distance so they couldn’t hear their conversation. What’s more, Xu Ziling had pushed her at an unnoticeable angle, so no one saw Xu Ziling push her.
She raised her gaze and looked at Han Moze. “I’ve no proof. Believe me or not, that’s up to you,” she said.
Han Moze choked Liu Rushuang’s neck and spoke with an eerie voice. “You hacked off her majesty the Empress’ legs and skinned Ruhua alive. What are you not capable of? You’re jealous of how close Ziling and I are as brother and sister so you hit her, didn’t you? You’re just that savage and merciless!”
Liu Rushuang smirked. “Your imagination is just too wild. I don’t like you so why would I be jealous? Even if I’m savage and merciless, I wouldn’t have hit the girl you just saw, unless she hit me first,” she replied chillingly.
Han Moze only heard that part when she had said that she didn’t like him and ruthlessly threw Liu Rushuang aside.
Thump!
Cough cough! Liu Rushuang fell to the floor and clutched her neck as she coughed. That tyrant!
“Starting from today, you’ll stay in the palace and not go anywhere else! Later, I will ask someone to find a female guard. I sentence you to copy scriptures a thousand times.” Then, he walked off.
