The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 1054 - 1056: Self-Contradiction

The Emperor’s face was extremely grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Shut up," casting a cold glance at the Empress, "Wait until Shushu finishes speaking."

The Empress quickly calmed down, took a few steps to the hall below, knelt on the ground, and choked, "Your Majesty, I know the Eldest Princess feels wronged, but I have been utterly wronged! Ever since the late Empress passed away, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to the Eldest Princess, even more so than to my own daughter."

As the Empress spoke, she looked at Mo Shu, with sourness and resentment in her eyes, but more was the obvious resentment everyone could see. She cried, "Ever since she was young, the Second Princess has always asked me, ’Mother, can you play with Qing’er today?’ But I manage the harem, so how could I have so much energy to spare? Yet I always had the energy for the Eldest Princess because I knew your feelings for the late Empress were something I could never match. So, I thought, as long as I was good enough, attentive enough to the Eldest Princess and Your Majesty, then Your Majesty would naturally know my sincere intentions..."

As she spoke, the Empress nearly collapsed emotionally but still gathered herself, saying, "Upon self-reflection, I have never done anything against the Eldest Princess. Between Mo Qing and the Eldest Princess, if I had to make a life-and-death choice, I would choose the Eldest Princess without hesitation. Since she was young, I’ve given her the best in food and clothing, and now, in front of everyone, my intentions are questioned..."

The Empress knelt with grievance, her back still straight, but her figure seemed truly frail, evoking sympathy, "My heart aches, Your Majesty. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

The Emperor frowned.

Mo Shu looked on coldly and said, "Is that so."

Mo Shu finally spoke, revitalizing many people’s spirits.

The Empress felt somewhat unsettled, but today, she had to finish this performance.

If performed well, both she and Mo Qing would remain safe.

If it fell apart...

Their mother-daughter relationship might never find a foothold again.

The Empress shouted angrily, "Ask your conscience, yes or no!"

With that, she knocked her head on the floor towards the Emperor, "It’s all my fault. I was too focused on spoiling the Eldest Princess and never realized I’d raised her so ungrateful!"

The Empress’s face was full of regret, "How can I face my sister six feet under!"

Mo Shu couldn’t help but applaud her and laughed out loud, "Mother really exaggerated. Though born the Eldest Princess, since childhood, how could my food and clothing compare to my Second Sister’s? Not to mention other things, even my guards and personal soldiers are not a tenth of my sister’s."

"You’re talking nonsense!" The Empress roared, "I’ve given you my all, wishing I could give you the best of everything... You, you are truly an ingrate!"

This reversal caused a flurry of discussions throughout the palace.

Feeling a bit humiliated, the Emperor said, "Enough, let’s end it for today!"

Mo Shu remained unperturbed, saying softly, "Why the rush, let Mother finish."

The Empress grew more incensed, "You... you..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Mo Shu chuckled lightly, "Mother, have you finished speaking?"

The Empress’s face turned green and pale, unsure for a moment what Mo Shu intended to do.

Mo Shu slowly said, "First of all, Mother said she wished to give all the best things to me, but isn’t that contradictory?"
