So, in the end, she chose Liu Qingqing...
Liu Qingqing lowered her gaze, and her face was pale.
Only now did she understand that the reason the empress allowed her to stay in the prince's manor. It was all a conspiracy.
It was ridiculous for her to have thought that the empress was treating her sincerely.
"Guard, seize the empress!"
The emperor growled; his eyes were filled with rage.
Several guards came forward at the emperor's order, grabbed the empress's arms, and took her away.
The empress did not struggle at all. She lowered her gaze that was full of despair.
After the empress was dragged down, the emperor looked at Nan Chiyou, trembling. "Maiden Xia Xia, just now I..."
Feng Ruqing pulled Nan Chiyou to her side and looked down. "Chang Qing Kingdom will be removed from the mainland. All the cities of Chang Qing Kingdom will merge to other places."
That single sentence had determined the end of Chang Qing Kingdom.
