C70 Non-acceptance of death

"Moreover, you must become stronger. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect the person you want to protect in the future." Shui Qinan said as if she had hit the nail on the head. Yin Huaqing smiled and nodded. He liked Nan Nan to be so simple and honest, it was so cute.

Zuo Yiyun nodded her head firmly, she would definitely become stronger!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Zuo Yiyun had insisted on drinking three times a day, so she had to quickly recover and help Shui Qinan get rid of the suspicion of assassinating her. She also had to make Shui Qiyu pay the price.

As for Hou Ziming, she wouldn't let him take revenge for her father right now, but Shui Qinan had promised her that he would definitely let him pay for it with his own blood!

"First disguise yourself as a servant girl, and then you can come in when I let you in. Also, at the entrance of the hall, you can listen to what this hypocritical couple has to say." Shui Qinan said calmly.

"Mm, as you say." In the past two days, Zuo Yiyun had experienced Shui Qinan's calmness and intelligence, as well as that man who came without a trace, and admired them from the bottom of her heart.

Shui Qinan nodded and found a set of clothes for Zuo Yiyun to change into for the young maid and then entered the palace with her.

Arriving at the entrance of the Imperial Palace's Main Hall, Shui Qinan coincidentally bumped into Shui Qiyu and Hou Ziming. Shui Qinan's body slightly trembled, he calmly lowered her head, and it was not the time for them to recognize her.

"Big sister, where have you been these past two days? You didn't even return to your Shui?s Mansion, little sister thought that big sister wouldn't come today either." Shui Qiyu said while smiling, and used her sleeves to cover the corner of her mouth.

Hou Ziming arrogantly looked at Shui Qinan and said: "You sure have some courage, to actually dare to come."

The mocking tone in Hou Ziming's words went without saying. Shui Qinan's sharp eyes saw that when Zuo Yiyun heard Hou Ziming's words, both of her hands slightly clenched into fists, and the corners of Shui Qinan's lips curled upwards: "Why wouldn't I dare to come?

Eunuch Zhou walked out from within the eagle and said smilingly: "Your Highness, the two young misses of Shui?s Mansion, the Emperor is letting you in."

Hou Ziming looked at Shui Qinan and gave a "hmph" sound before expressionlessly entering the declaration hall. Shui Qiyu slightly glanced at Shui Qinan with a pleased look on her face and followed Hou Ziming in.

Shui Qinan gave Zuo Yiyun a look and told her to wait outside. After seeing Zuo Yiyun nod her head, she slowly went in.

"Your son greets your Imperial Father!"

"This subject's daughter has been detained to see Your Majesty."

Just as Shui Qinan walked in, she heard Hou Ziming and Shui Qiyu's voices, but she did not greet the emperor. Today was just like two days ago, King Xia Hou Qingyu was also here, but he was no longer here.

The emperor's stern gaze swept over Shui Qinan, who entered the palace, saying that he was curious about today's result.

The emperor knew that Hou Qingyu was wholeheartedly focusing on Shui Qinan, his spirit energy was very strong, if not for the fact that they had an unmarried child, he could still consider pointing Shui Qinan out to Hou Qingyu.

But right now, Shui Qinan was no longer an innocent girl who was compatible with their royal family.

The emperor coldly looked at Shui Qinan and said: "Impudent, why didn't you kneel when you saw us!"

Shui Qinan said flatly: "I still say, I am someone who should kneel."

"Aren't you afraid that This Emperor will punish you for a heinous crime?" The emperor's voice became more severe. Shui Qinan was fearless, he wanted to use the power of the royalty to pressure her? Unfortunately, she, Shui Qinan, did not buy into this matter.

She looked at the Emperor with a coquettish smile and said, "If you have the ability to do so."

"How dare you!" The emperor slammed the table. This Shui Qinan was so arrogant, she did not even put him in her eyes.

"Father, don't be angry. This son rather appreciates Miss Shui's character, but she has a straight character and has no ill intentions. royal father, didn't you always say that you would tolerate those eccentric people? " Hou Qingyu gently said as he looked at Shui Qinan and nodded.

"Oh?" The emperor was not angered by Hou Qingyu's words, he only looked at him meaningfully.

"Father, let's just listen to the matter of the Second Miss Zuo." Hou Qingyu looked at the emperor with a smile. The emperor looked into Hou Qingyu's eyes, wanting to see something from within.

Hou Qingyu did not dodge and just stood there openly. The emperor retracted his gaze and looked at Shui Qinan: "You said you want to let Zuo Yiyun and Shui Qiyu have a confrontation?"

"Yes." Shui Qinan said.

"Then what about Zuo Yiyun? Why haven't I seen her come up? " the Emperor asked.

"Before Second Miss Zuo and my little sister compete, I have a few questions I would like to ask the crown prince and his little sister. I wonder if the emperor would agree?" Shui Qinan said indifferently.

"Ask away." The Emperor said.

"Please speak, Miss Shui." Even if Hou Ziming were to say those cold words to him from outside, he would still have to pretend to be the emperor of the Ming Palace.

"I would like to ask the Crown Prince, when you were underwater that day, did you really hear those assassins say that they took my money and that was why you were hiding at the bottom of the lake?" Shui Qinan laughed lightly as she looked at Hou Ziming.

Looking at Shui Qinan acting in such a manner, Hou Ziming had some suspicions and unexplainable unease in her heart, but he still said: "Of course."

"Hearing it with your own mouth is definitely not a hallucination?" Shui Qinan asked again.

"I've said it many times, how could I possibly be hearing things?" Hou Ziming said sincerely.

Shui Qinan nodded, then looked at Shui Qiyu and asked: "You said that I pushed down Second Miss Zuo that day, because I was angry at her?"

"Elder sister, do you want to deny it again? This is the truth. Elder sister, can you stop quibbling?" Shui Qiyu said softly as she looked at Shui Qinan and shook her head.

"Can you explain it to me? That day, I found out where I was going to swim? And I don't know where I am going to swim. How did I arrange the assassins?" Could it be that you all want to say that I made this arrangement a long time ago, that I have come up with an ingenious plan and that you, Shui Qiyu, would one day invite me to swim in a lake? " Shui Qiyu asked sharply, the Spirit Qi in her eyes intimidated Shui Qiyu.

"Father, this son really wants to know as well. Furthermore, how did royal brother escape that day? Why didn't those black-clothed people catch any of them? " Hou Qingyu suddenly said.

"Imperial Father knows that this son really did his best to escape. When those black-clothed people saw me board the ship and have their employers, they naturally did not dare to board the ship again." Hou Ziming said.

Hou Qingyu shook his head and laughed. The emperor was also silent. Shui Qinan looked at Shui Qiyu, but did not say a word.

Shui Qiyu slightly stepped back, and looked at Shui Qinan with a soft and gentle gaze: "How would I know why Big Sister asked me this? But Big Sister has always been the stronger one, I might really be able to calculate that."

Shui Qinan looked at Shui Qiyu with a cold smile and said: "I'll ask you one last time, it's not too late for you to admit it now, did you push Second Miss Zuo down?"

Shui Qiyu was scared witless by Shui Qinan's gaze, but she still stubbornly replied, "No."
