Chapter 409: Chapter 411: Running Towards Each Other

Shao He lightly pursed her lips into a smile, for this was precisely the effect she desired. Only if the news of Chu Yu’s impotence spread throughout the Capital City could she proceed with her next moves.

Seeing her still able to smile, Qing Shan frowned and said, "This rumor is disadvantageous to the young miss, as Chu Yu’s issue inevitably brings up the young miss’s name, damaging her reputation."

Upon hearing this, Qingxia immediately became anxious and asked, "Why would the young miss want us to do such a thing? Wouldn’t this be harming the enemy eight hundred but ourselves a thousand?"

Even if the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion brought about such a huge scandal, laughed at by everyone in the Capital City, the young miss could not avoid being mentioned.

Qing Shan grabbed Qingxia and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

"It was I who had Qingxia deliberately leak the information, leading to the stepson’s deeds being discovered by Old Madam Chu and Liang Weishuang, and thus exacerbating the situation," said Shao He as she slowly poured herself a cup of tea.

"Miss, why would you do this to yourself? Although you have taken your revenge on the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, is damaging your own reputation worth it?"

"Now, rumors are everywhere in the Capital City that the young miss is promiscuous, and nobody knows with whom she bore an illegitimate child. If this reaches the Emperor, what then!" Qingxia sighed helplessly.

Shao He offered no explanation, merely smiling lightly and said, "Alright, you both should go rest."

"Miss..."

When Qingxia was about to continue, Qing Shan suddenly interrupted, "The young miss has her reasons for acting this way, all this is for the young master’s future."

"What does this have to do with the young master?" The more Qingxia heard, the more confused she became.

"Being talked about is nothing compared to Pei Huaian’s sacrifices; what matters is that the child’s identity must be beyond reproach, untainted by anyone," she said.

Upon hearing the young miss’s explanation, Qingxia’s face revealed a dawning comprehension.

Pointing at Qing Shan, she said, "So the young miss selling the pregnancy test and this matter are both sacrifices of her own reputation to lay the groundwork for exposing the young master’s identity."

With a solemn voice, Qing Shan asked, "Miss, why must you use such a method? Is there no other way?"

This might bring about too many bad rumors and much vilification and scorn toward the young miss.

"This is the fastest, most effective, and most direct method. Your young miss is not as fragile as you think. Facing those rumors is just a matter of listening," Shao He felt inwardly unshaken.

If Pei Huaian could endure so much hardship and pain for the child and her, what was a bit of scolding?

As Qingxia and Qing Shan left the room, walking on the small path with their thoughts diverging, Qingxia suddenly spoke, "Sister, is this what love is?"

"This is mutual commitment. The young miss and the Fifth Prince are both trying to minimize the obstacles to being together, even willing to bear the stigma for the young master’s identity," replied Qing Shan.

Qing Shan’s lips curved slightly upwards, hoping the hardships the young miss and others endured initially would eventually turn sweet.

In the imperial palace, inside the Emperor’s Study Room, the Empress knelt on the floor, her eyes indifferent as she listened to each charge.

The Emperor sat on his chair, looking at the Empress coldly, his deep and dark eyes carrying a sharp, ominous air.

"Empress, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, I know that Huaian has always harbored resentment towards me, believing that I was behind his mother Consort’s death. Over the years, I have dared not slight him in any way, treating him even better than Cheng’er by leaps and bounds," she said.

As she spoke, the Empress pinched the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, appearing utterly heartbroken.

"I’m asking you about these charges. Do you acknowledge them or not?"

With tear-filled eyes, the Empress looked up at the Emperor and cried, "I genuinely don’t understand. Why would Huaian be convinced that I caused his mother Consort’s death? I had no knowledge of the incident, these charges are completely unfounded."

"Emperor, I know nothing of these charges, how could I possibly acknowledge them?"

The Emperor’s sinister gaze swept over the Empress before he stood, towering over her as he watched, his eyes as sharp and chilling as knifes in the bitter winter.

"I have already investigated, and all of these charges are true," the Emperor declared coldly.

The Empress’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at the Emperor.

"No, no, this isn’t possible, Your Majesty, someone must be framing me deliberately."

"Hmph, investigating a matter is not difficult for me," the Emperor scoffed.

"Your Majesty, I am truly being framed, please verify the facts, please thoroughly investigate, I am being wronged, Your Majesty..."

The Empress knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing until her forehead bled, with vivid red blood streaming down, filling the room with a thick scent of blood, utterly horrifying.

Crying out in anguish, as if she had lost her soul, she displayed a frantic appearance, nothing like the noble and elegant Empress she once was.

"Enough, stop pretending. You’re tired of acting, I’ve had enough of watching over the years. I don’t enjoy your acting nor do I wish to engage with it any further, just stop," the Emperor spoke deliberately, clearly disappointed with the Empress.

Initially, he had married the Empress out of necessity, but considering her gentle, virtuous, kind, and dignified demeanor, he had taken her into the palace.

He had thought her to be a decent person, never anticipating she would turn out to be such a venomous woman!
