The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 209 Talk

"You, seem, to, dare to hit me, ugh!"

Chunmei was a martial artist, and she slapped the girl twice, knocking out one of her teeth.

She pointed at Chunmei incoherently, then looked at Xie Shuyi sitting on the sedan chair with grievance. "Zuzi."

"I don't know which palace you are from. I have been in the palace for many days, but have never seen you." Xie Shuyi, who was sitting on the sedan chair, glared at the palace maid beside her, and then looked at Su Tang in a calm tone.

She did not get angry because her maid was beaten. Instead, she was very tolerant, as if she did not want to argue with Su Tang.

But when she asked, she actually wanted to inquire about Su Tang's identity. If Su Tang's identity was lower than hers, she would probably change her face immediately.

Su Tang smiled and said, "I don't live in the palace."

"Ha, so she is a noble lady from outside the palace. Which palace is she visiting?" Xie Shuyi asked again.

"You don't need to know this." Su Tang waved her hand, signaling the eunuchs carrying her sedan chair to continue walking.

The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair looked at each other, then continued to carry Su Tang and walk out of the palace.

"Wait a minute!!" Just as he passed by Xie Shuyi's sedan chair, he heard Xie Shuyi's voice from behind.

"Don't pay attention to her." Su Tang said softly to the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair.

"You!!" Seeing that Su Tang ignored her and the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair didn't listen to her, Xie Shuyi slapped the armrest of the sedan chair under her heavily, causing the eunuchs carrying her sedan chair to instantly fall towards the direction she slapped.

"Ah!!" Xie Shuyi was so frightened that she screamed immediately.

Fortunately, the eunuchs adjusted themselves quickly and prevented Xie Shuyi from falling.

However, Xie Shuyi was frightened by what happened just now and did not dare to take the sedan chair again. She asked the eunuchs to put down the sedan chair.

After getting off the sedan chair, she fanned the eunuch closest to her.

"Useless thing!" Xie Shuyi looked at Su Tang's receding back. This matter was definitely not over.

"Let's go!" Xie Shuyi turned her back to Su Tang and walked towards where she was going today.

Royal study room.

Emperor Jing left Qi Lingheng alone.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing at this time.

Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man who was lowering his head below.

Before, after the Qi family was raided, someone in the court who was opposed to the Qi family sent assassins to kill Qi Lingheng. At that time, he turned a blind eye to it. Anyway, they were not the people sent by him. If that person could succeed, kill Qi Lingheng and cut off the Qi family, it would not be a big loss for him.

Unfortunately, Qi Lingheng was lucky and managed to escape the man's pursuit.

What Emperor Jing didn't expect was that Qi Lingheng actually came back alive and led the Qi army to win back a victory at the northern border.

What surprised him even more was that he actually met and married his daughter who was living outside, and then turned the tables after returning to Beijing, allowing him to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage in advance.

Qi Lingheng is so young but has such great ambition and opportunity. If he is not used for his own benefit in the future, this person must not be kept.

But the most important thing for him now is to recover some of his losses from Qi Lingheng.

Before, Qi Lingheng had promised him that he would withdraw the Qi family from the army after marrying Su Tang. After all, since ancient times, a prince consort was not allowed to hold an important position in the court, let alone an important position in the army.

Looking at Qi Lingheng's lowered head, Emperor Jing said to him after a long while: "Since you have married Tang'er, you can just be a royal consort in the future.

I have conferred upon you the title of King of Qi before, and you can still enjoy the salary of the King of Qi, but you don’t have to attend court every day.

Over the years, I have felt a little indebted to Tang'er, and it is a good opportunity for you to spend more time with her on my behalf."

"I obey your command, but there are still some things that I discussed with the Nalan family in the Northern Frontier a few days ago, and they have not responded. I want to go to the Northern Frontier again before winter comes today to get things done, so that the border of the Northern Frontier can be quiet for a while."

Qi Lingheng stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Jing's desk. Although he was kneeling, he kept his body straight with only his head slightly lowered.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence again.

Eunuch Fu secretly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Jing, and sure enough, he saw a flash of anger on Emperor Jing's face. Seeing this, Eunuch Fu immediately lowered his eyes again.

A flash of anger flashed across Emperor Jing's face, and he thought for a moment.

Ever since our ancestor ascended the throne, the northern border has always been garrisoned by the Qi family army.

Most of the people over there are from the Qi Family Army. If the Nalan Clan hadn't used some tricks in the northern border this time, Emperor Jing's people would not have been able to infiltrate the Qi Family Army.

Emperor Jing also knew that it would take more than a day or two to disband the Qi army, and this matter required long-term planning.

But Qi Lingheng must withdraw from the Qi family army and cannot let the Qi family army follow the lead of the Qi family.

The world of Dayong belongs to his Xuanyuan family, so the soldiers stationed in the border towns can only be from the Xuanyuan family.

The Qi family army must not be allowed to stay any longer!

"Well, what you said makes sense, but the Nalan people have always been cunning. You must not trust them easily. This time, we must make sure they don't invade Dayong again and disturb the lives of the people on the border of Dayong."

"Yes, I will do my best this time..."

"It's not about trying our best, but we must let them know how powerful our Great Yong is. This time, let Qian Hao go to the Northern Frontier with you. Qian Hao has been living in the capital for a long time. Now that his health has improved, it's time for him to go out and gain some experience."

While Emperor Jing was speaking, he was observing Qi Lingheng's expression.

Although Qi Lingheng lowered his head, from Emperor Jing's perspective, he could clearly see his expression at the moment.

Qi Lingheng raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, but soon regained his composure, "I will definitely protect the Second Prince during this trip."

"Well, then I will wait for the good news after your return. After you come back, you can go out with Tang'er to relax." The loving voice of Emperor Jing sounded above his head.

"Yes." Qi Lingheng responded.

As he was speaking, a young eunuch from the outer room walked quickly to the door of the imperial study.

Eunuch Fu glanced at the eunuch and walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Emperor Jingdi was talking with Qi Lingheng in the imperial study. He had already driven out all the eunuchs serving in the study and only left Eunuch Fu waiting in the palace.

These young eunuchs who were waiting outside the hall also knew what was going on, but now they ran to the hall door. There must be something urgent, otherwise they would not dare to rush into the hall.

"Xie Shuyi is crying and wants to see His Majesty." The young eunuch also knew that he shouldn't come over, so he shrank his neck and replied.

As he spoke, the young eunuch turned his head towards the outside of the hall.

At this time, there were guards guarding outside the Imperial Study Hall. Without Emperor Jing's summons, no one else could approach the hall.

Eunuch Fu followed the eunuch's movements and looked outside the hall. Sure enough, he saw a frail woman standing at the steps below the hall.

Isn’t that Xie Siyu who was just conferred the title of Shuyi by Emperor Jing?

Eunuch Fu frowned. He didn't like Xie Siyu. With his keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this woman was a troublemaker.

This time, she was sent to the palace by the Xie family in order to regain the favor of the Xie family from Emperor Jing.

After all, the Xie family went too far at the previous banquet, causing Emperor Jing to almost lose face in front of foreign envoys.

Emperor Jing therefore punished all members of the Xie family. Presumably, the Xie family could not sit still any longer, so they wanted to send another woman into the palace to get back into the court.

But Eunuch Fu, who had followed Emperor Jing for many years, knew what he was thinking.

Emperor Jing would never reuse the Xie family, and Prime Minister Xie would never return to the court.

The reason why the woman from the Xie family was taken into the harem was simply because Emperor Jingdi met Xie Siyu in the back garden that day and wanted to try something new.

After all, although many of Xie Siyu's methods were not worthy of being shown in public, it was precisely this unpresentable appearance that made Emperor Jing feel fresh for a while.

Otherwise, Emperor Jing would not have only awarded her the title of Shuyi.

"Who's outside?" Emperor Jing also saw the movement from Eunuch Fu's side. He just didn't want to talk to Qi Lingheng anymore, so this was a good opportunity to get rid of Qi Lingheng.

Eunuch Fu quickly returned to Emperor Jing's side, leaned over and whispered, "It was Xie Shuyi who asked to see him outside."

Qi Lingheng has excellent hearing. Although he has been staying with Su Tang and has not left the house these days, he is still aware of what is happening outside.

Qi Lingheng remained expressionless, and only heard Emperor Jing above him say to Qi Lingheng, "My dear minister, please stand up. I am also a little tired, so please leave first."

"Yes." Qi Lingheng responded, took a few steps back, and when he reached the door of the hall, he turned around and left.

"What's the matter with her?" When Emperor Jing saw Qi Lingheng leaving, he leaned back on the dragon throne behind him.

"I didn't say that, but Xie Shuyi came here crying." Eunuch Fu said in a low voice.

"Send him away and tell him that I'm tired and need to rest." Emperor Jing frowned when he heard Eunuch Fu's reply.

The women in the palace have always been smiling and flattering in front of him. It seems that he has been pampering this woman from the Xie family too much in recent days, and she actually dared to cry in front of him.

So unlucky!

It's time to give her the cold shoulder.

Seeing that Emperor Jing was displeased, he didn't want to see Xie Shuyi even more.

Eunuch Fu immediately understood and agreed, then turned around and went outside to give orders.

On this side, Qi Lingheng had just left the imperial study hall and passed by Xie Siyu as he walked down the stairs.

Qi Lingheng didn't even look at the woman.

But Xie Siyu caught a glimpse of a tall and handsome figure from afar, walking towards her.

Qi Lingheng is the object of admiration of all the unmarried noble ladies in the capital.

If the Xie family had not been useless and sent her to the palace, she would have wanted to marry into the Qi family.

Seeing that figure walking towards her, Xie Siyu, who had been pretending to cry and wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time, now blushed.

The handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground when Qi Lingheng passed by.

But when Qi Lingheng walked past her, he didn't even look at her.

The maid beside Xie Siyu stayed by her side with a red and swollen face.

Her face was burning with pain at the moment, but Xie Siyu was going to see the emperor and only brought her, a maid, with him. She could only wait here beside Xie Siyu.

Seeing Xie Siyu's handkerchief fall to the ground, the maid gasped softly and bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground.

"Master, the handkerchief."

But Xie Siyu seemed not to have heard it. She didn't even look at her, and her eyes kept following Qi Lingheng.

This maid has followed Xie Siyu for many years, so how could she not understand Xie Siyu's thoughts at this moment?

But no matter how stupid she was, she knew that Xie Siyu was now Emperor Jing's woman, and she must not have any thoughts about other men.

She knew all of this, but Xie Siyu seemed to know nothing.

Why did the maid put the handkerchief in Xie Siyu's hand and pinched Xie Siyu's hand to bring her back to her senses?

They are now outside the imperial study. If Emperor Jing sees what his young lady is thinking, Xie Siyu's entry into the palace this time might have a counterproductive effect.

There are so many guards and eunuchs around.

If you anger His Majesty again, I'm afraid the entire Xie family will be buried with him.

Thinking of this, the little maid shuddered.

It's just a coincidence.

This scene outside the hall happened to be seen by Eunuch Fu who had just come out of the main hall.

Standing on a high place, you can clearly see what the people below are doing.

When Eunuch Fu saw this scene, he frowned unconsciously.

Are all the women of this generation in the Xie family so brainless?

The Xie family dared to send a woman like this into the palace. They are just courting death.

However, this matter cannot be exposed by a eunuch like him.

It would be better for Emperor Jing to discover this himself.

Having served Emperor Jing for many years, Eunuch Fu is able to live safely to this day and even reach the position of Grand Steward. He is already a shrewd man.

He would not speak nonsense in front of Emperor Jing, because if Emperor Jing took his anger out on him, he might also be skinned alive.

"Go tell Xie Shuyi that His Majesty has rested, and ask her not to come here and disturb His Majesty from handling state affairs."

After Uncle Fu finished his instructions, he glanced at the woman standing at the bottom of the stairs.

At this moment, in Eunuch Fu's eyes, the woman was even worse than a prostitute.

"Yes." The young eunuch responded. When he saw Eunuch Fu returned to the main hall, he turned around and went to the bottom of the stairs to pass on the message.

"What!!" Xie Shuyi exclaimed. She looked at the eunuch who delivered the message in disbelief, and then raised her eyes to look at the imperial study above.

"Why won't your majesty see me?!"

"Eunuch Fu has instructed you not to come to the Imperial Study Room to disturb His Majesty from handling state affairs."

After saying this, the young eunuch turned around and went back.

He understood what Eunuch Fu meant. No one who could serve Eunuch Fu was stupid.

At this time, only Xie Shuyi and her maid were left at the steps outside the hall.

"Master, His Majesty asked you to go back, let's..." The maid just opened her mouth when a crisp slap sounded on her already swollen face again.

Xie Shuyi glared at the maid, then turned and left.

The little maid was startled by the sudden slap. In fact, this slap didn't hurt that much. Her face was swollen at this time, and it had become numb after the slap.

She knew that Xie Siyu was taking it out on her, but she was just a maid and was originally a thing around her master.

The little maid's face was filled with tears, but she did not dare to speak outside the imperial study. She trotted a few steps and quickly caught up with Xie Shuyi in front of her.
