The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 1055 - 1057: Heart Flutter

"How is it self-contradictory?" the Emperor asked.

"The Empress Mother always said she treated me well, but there were times I went hungry. Where was the Empress Mother then?" Mo Shu looked at the Empress, sincerely questioning.

Without thinking, the Empress retorted, "Utter nonsense. You grew up in the palace, and your father loved you dearly. Who could have mistreated you?"

Mo Shu curled her lips, "Has the Empress Mother forgotten? When I was thirteen, I had a quarrel with Mo Qing. The cause... it seems she wanted my Sakura Spear, a gift from Marquis Xuan Yuan."

Marquis Xuan Yuan immediately said, "Indeed, in the year the Princess turned thirteen, my son specially selected a birthday gift for the Princess, which was that spear."

"But that spear was later taken from me," Mo Shu said softly, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Because the Empress Mother warned me not to tell Father about it."

Mo Qing’s face changed, and she shrieked, "You’re spouting lies!"

"Whether it’s lies or not, send someone to check your weapon collection, and you’ll know," Mo Shu smiled faintly. "It should still be there, right, my dear sister?"

The Empress seemed like she wanted to speak, but Mo Shu quickly cut her off, saying, "That’s one thing. There were also many pieces of jewelry when I was young. They were often given to me by Father, only to be snatched away by my second sister soon after Father gave them to me. Father even asked me why I had given the new jewelry to my sister..."

Mo Qing’s face grew paler.

The Emperor remembered this matter well.

Because those jewels were carefully chosen by him to be given to his daughter.

His daughter bore a striking resemblance to his late wife, who had long passed away. So, the newly selected jewelry could only be worn by his daughter in place of his wife.

But his daughter seemed not to like the things he had chosen so painstakingly. Often, what he gave her one day appeared on Mo Qing the next.

"The Empress Mother had already warned me at that time..."

The Empress’s face was pale, "You... you must cease this nonsense..."

"Enough!" the Emperor shouted.

The Empress flinched and knelt obediently.

As Mo Shu continued, "The Empress Mother warned me back then that if I dared to say anything inappropriate to Father, she would kill my wet nurse."

The Empress’s face changed drastically, "Outrageous!"

Her face was deathly pale, "Your Majesty, you must not listen to just one side of the Princess’s story!"

Mo Shu laughed, "That’s two, and there’s one more crucial event, something that completely changed my life." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Mo Shu stood straight, her slender figure exuding an aura of arrogance, yet the Emperor saw a sense of desolation in her.

The Emperor felt a pang of heartache.

He owed his daughter far too much.

What was terrifying was that he had never realized how his wife had treated his beloved daughter behind his back!

Mo Shu continued, "On that day during the diplomatic meeting, someone drugged my wine."

This matter had never been made public.

No one knew what actually happened that day.

The rumors circulating outside were all conjecture, but was the Eldest Princess finally going to reveal the truth?

Song Gu looked over.

From his angle, he could only see the side of Princess Mo’s face.

The lines of her profile were breathtakingly beautiful, and Song Gu’s heart was moved once again, though this time different from the past.
