Chapter 1082: Already Got This Far

“Your Majesty.” Court Lady Qiu’s face was filled with fear as she looked at the blood in the spittoon.

Fortunately, Ning Shu’s body seemed to be able to endure this pain. She had Court Lady Qiu secretly deal with the blood-stained bed covers.

Ning Shu was in so much pain that her entire body was trembling. Her muscles seemed to be out of control and were extremely stiff. She couldn’t even lift her hand. She lay on the bed weakly and continuously chanted the heart-clearing chant. She just hoped that the heart-clearing chant would be able to dissipate some of the despair that was surging up in her heart as well as the pain, the hatred, and the desire to just die.

“Ning Shu, why don’t we just leave? This is only the first wave, it’s only going to get more painful. This task is a failure anyways. There’s no meaning in you making yourself suffer like this.” 2333’s voice appeared in Ning Shu’s mind.

Ning Shu wanted to smile, but the pain twisted her face. “Can’t let all this pain be for nothing.”

“... Haa.” 2333 could only sigh. “When you get back, remember to exchange for a halo that provides resistance against curses. The tasks will only get more complicated and it’s pretty normal for task-takers to be enemies. It all depends on each person’s preferred methods.”

Ning Shu swallowed the blood in her mouth. She had never noticed that there were items like this before. It seemed she had to browse the system marketplace more in her free time.

If there were items to protect, then there were definitely items to hurt.

Ning Shu kept chanting the heart-clearing chant and was finally able to drift off to sleep. After a while, Court Lady Qiu’s voice appeared by her ear. “Your Majesty, your dragon physique is unwell so there’s no need to attend court today.”

Ning Shu opened her eyes. Her entire body felt numb and it was with great difficulty that she got down from the bed. She sat down in front of the copper mirror and glanced towards it, then almost whacked the mirror in shock. The person in the mirror looked pale as a ghost.

“Apply more rouge on us.” Ning Shu’s voice came from deep within her throat.

After a good while of fiddling, her facial color was much better and didn’t seem so horrifying anymore.

“Bring a cup of water. We’ll be thirsty,” said Ning Shu, her voice a bit hoa.r.s.e. She might puke blood at any moment, so if there was a cup of water with her, she’d at least be able to rinse her mouth. Otherwise she’d have to talk with a mouthful of red teeth.

Court Lady Qiu nodded.

As Ning Shu walked, her legs trembled. It seriously hurt too much. She was walking very slowly, but still had to act graceful and poised even though her legs were wobbling like chopsticks under her skirt.

The moment she sat down on the dragon throne, she inwardly sighed in relief. It was seriously comfortable to sit.

“Present your memorials or withdraw!” shouted Court Lady Qiu. Her voice was particularly sharp today and seemed mournful like the sound of a cuckoo crying blood.

Mu Yao took the initiative to speak first. “Imperial Mother, this subject daughter’s marriage is coming up soon. Imperial Mother must come attend this subject daughter’s wedding! This subject daughter still needs to kowtow to you.”

Ning Shu was about to speak, but she felt a warmth in her throat. After swallowing the blood with great difficulty, she waved towards Court Lady Qiu and Court Lady Qiu immediately carried over the teacup that another palace maid had been holding.

Ning Shu gulped down the cup of tea before replying to Mu Yao. “We’ll see.”

Mu Yao didn’t seem very disappointed. She knew that her imperial mother was always busy with court matters.

“Imperial Mother, your facial color doesn’t seem very good. Are you not feeling well?” asked the crown prince, Mu Xue.

Ning Shu looked at Mu Xue as she said, “We are a little unwell, but it’s simply old ailments.”

#comment: “Can’t let all this pain be for nothing.” The same reply I gave to my friends when I took 5 cla.s.ses, then 6 cla.s.ses a semester. By the time that regret hit, I was already too far in.
