The Empress Wants a Divorce Every Day

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: You Lying Mastermind of a Woman

Feng Qing pondered for a moment, looked at Rong Ling, and slowly spoke: ”Although the Feng Family exchanged Prince’s marriage, allowing me to enter the gates of the Regent Prince Mansion, I know that with my looks and conduct, I am not worthy of the Prince. Therefore I ask to leave, and the Prince can give me a divorce paper. From now on, I will stay away from the Imperial City and never appear before the Prince again.”

Although she wanted to say a divorce paper, she thought it was unlikely, so she mentioned the divorce paper instead.

As long as Rong Ling gives her a divorce paper, she could stay far away from the circle of troubles.

As for the persecutions from the Dog Emperor and the Feng Family, one day, she would return them.

Feng Qing thought about this as she raised her head to look at Rong Ling on the soft couch, finding the man looking at her with a half-smile, his long phoenix eyes filled with deep, insightful understanding.

”Do you think it’s possible to jump out of this game?”

Feng Qing’s breath caught in her chest, unable to come out for a long time.

”What is the Prince talking about? I don’t understand the Prince’s words?”

Rong Ling’s eyes looked coldly at her, his hand lightly and deliberately tapping as he spoke.

”Earlier you proved that the bridal sedan incident wasn’t your doing. Now let’s talk about another matter. You previously said the Emperor and the Feng Family instructed you to poison me. Since the sedan was switched by them, and you did not know, how did they instruct you to poison me, so you’re lying to me?”

Feng Qing’s vision darkened, wishing she could faint.

The reason she previously said that was to provoke a confrontation between Rong Ling and the Dog Emperor as well as the Feng Family.

But now that statement is nullified, the Emperor and the Feng Family instructing her to poison becomes non-existent. Accusing the Emperor and instigating imperial family strife—the crime is grave enough to kill her entire clan.

Feng Qing’s face changed several times, her blood turning cold, while above her, Rong Ling’s face suddenly turned gloomy, his pupils filled with a fierce and murderous intent.

”So, you made up the poisoning story just to get me to deal with the Feng Family and the Emperor? You have quite the audacity.”

The Emperor having someone switch the bridal sedan is entirely different from having someone poison him.

The former merely shows vile behavior, warranting at most a minor punishment.

But if he instructed others to poison, it would be malicious to an extreme, and he would never tolerate such behavior.

Rong Ling’s exquisite features were filled with coldness, his black eyes icy and ruthless, tightly fixed on Feng Qing, who appeared as a dead thing in his eyes.

Feng Qing felt as if her neck was being choked by invisible hands, suffocating her. She instinctively swallowed her saliva, feeling deeply troubled, wondering if this was a case of her own crimes leading to her downfall.

However, she had to find a way to handle this, or else she wouldn’t survive the day; Rong Ling would never tolerate someone using him to deal with others, especially against the Little Emperor.

Feng Qing thought quickly, then spoke: ”Prince, although they didn’t instruct me to poison you, I indeed overheard in the study my father secretly discussing with someone that the Prince couldn’t be kept, suggesting to the Emperor to secretly instruct someone to poison the Prince, to remove the Prince, so the Emperor could safely govern.”

”Prince, if it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have rashly said they instructed me to poison you. It was because I thought of this matter, so I spoke without thinking. Please, Prince, believe me one more time.”

Listening to Feng Qing’s words, Rong Ling’s face was icy cold, his eyes fierce, and he suddenly pulled Feng Qing to his side with a firm grasp.

”Do you think I will believe you again, you lying woman? If I don’t punish you, you...”

As soon as Feng Qing heard the word punishment, she felt her hair stand on end. Based on her understanding of this man, his idea of punishment would only bring her unbearable torment.

Not waiting for Rong Ling to finish, Feng Qing quickly interjected: ”Prince, though I’ve made mistakes, if it weren’t for me, you might never know the Emperor’s intentions, never know if the Emperor truly wishes to harm you. This is a chance for the Prince to see the Emperor’s heart clearly, isn’t this atonement on my part?”

Rong Ling was momentarily absent-minded. Yes, if Feng Qing hadn’t mentioned it, he would never suspect the Little Emperor Rong Che of harboring ill intentions; he supported Rong Che to ascend the throne and worked tirelessly to stabilize the Dayan Kingdom, with the Empress Dowager and Little Emperor always being grateful to him, treating him like family.

But the bridal sedan incident left him full of disappointment, and if they had harmful intentions toward him as well, huh?

Rong Ling suddenly let out a cold laugh, releasing Feng Qing, his cold eyes starkly watching her.

”Fine, I must see if what you say is true. If I find out you’re deceiving me again, I will make sure you wish for death!”

His words were bloodthirsty, making Feng Qing’s back go cold, as if a snake was slithering against her skin, sending chills all over her body.
