Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 955 - 954: Who is She, Exactly?

Chapter 955: Chapter 954: Who is She, Exactly?

Feng Qihe felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Chu Qianli probably could also imagine the bitterness of the women in the Harem, but hearing it firsthand, especially from the Empress herself, made it hard for her to calm her emotions.

She was already the most honored existence in the entire Harem, yet even the Empress needed to endure such things, not to mention the other women.

"But,"

The next words from Chu Qianli were what truly shocked Feng Qihe the most.

She had already composed herself, retrieved her silver needles, and while administering acupuncture to the Empress, she slowly asked, "Why was she poisoned?"

The Empress’s body trembled violently in an instant.

Chu Qianli pressed down on her wrist and said, "If you want to end this pain quickly, stay calm. We are just having a normal conversation, and the incident happened over a decade ago."

The Empress gritted her teeth so hard that she almost drew blood.

Although it had been over a decade, she still harbored hatred!

Such deep hatred!

Feng Qihe stood outside the screen, wanting to ask but fearing he might disturb their treatment, and even more so, he feared upsetting his mother.

Only this stubborn girl, Chu Qianli, would have the heart of stone to ask such a question at this time!

It really was, tormenting!

Chu Qianli was indeed cold-hearted and cold-blooded—not only did she ask, but she also insisted on a thorough answer.

"Does this have anything to do with Concubine Rong?"

"You!"

The Empress’s face changed, and she glared fiercely at her: "Why would you..."

"Just a wild guess." But now, she knew the answer.

Indeed, Concubine Rong was involved.

Could it be that Concubine Rong was the one who poisoned the Empress, causing her to lose the child in her womb?

The Empress forcibly closed her eyes.

Chu Qianli pressed on her abdomen.

The Empress immediately felt so much pain that she almost cried.

It was both painful and hateful, utterly torturous.

"Is this how you treat your patients?" the Empress asked through gritted teeth, her voice hoarse.

"I treat you without asking for any consultation fee..."

The Empress immediately interrupted her, "How much money do you want? I will give it to you!"

"I, the mighty Empress of Longteng, whose national strength is not a bit inferior to Beiming, what do I need from a mere Empress like you?"

Chu Qianli’s words carried a hint of sarcasm.

The Empress’s face turned red upon hearing this.

Feng Qihe felt both helpless and anxious.

This stubborn girl really knew how to provoke people!

"I hear some news, which also serves as a manner of compensation from you, Empress. You don’t lose anything, do you?"

"Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you afterward to silence you?" the Empress said through gritted teeth.

However, at this moment, it was pain, not anger, that dominated.

"Stubborn girl... stubborn girl, be gentler, I... I am really in pain..."

"I can’t be gentler. This pain, you must endure. It will pass soon."

Chu Qianli administered the acupuncture on her abdomen.

The deeper the silver needles went, the more agonizing the pain became for the Empress, who at last nearly lost consciousness.

"Empress, there is one more thing I just can’t figure out,"

Chu Qianli’s voice, at that moment, sounded as distant as if it came from the edge of the sky to the Empress.

She was nearly losing consciousness.

"Ask whatever you want, quickly!" The Empress struggled to maintain her last bit of consciousness.

Everything has a price; she knew that.

If she did not satisfy this stubborn girl’s curiosity today, she might not be willing to cure her wholeheartedly!

This illness had tormented her for over a decade, and today, she really couldn’t bear it anymore.

Chu Qianli looked at her sweat-drenched face, continued with the acupuncture, and slowly asked, "I am just really curious, according to the secret history of the palace, Concubine Rong was just a commoner woman. How could such a commoner woman reach a position where neither you nor the Empress Dowager could touch her? Concubine Rong..."

She leaned close to the Empress and asked in a low voice, "Who exactly is she?"
