Chapter 342: Challenging the Imperial Power

Concubine Qi Jing raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she raised her hand to hook the emperor's fingers, her figure as charming as silk.

"Even if he's a scoundrel, he's still the child of the emperor and me. I can't bear to put the emperor in a difficult position. Rong'er and I will accept any punishment.

Your Majesty, please give me more meals during my absence from the palace. And don't forget to put on more clothes this winter."

Tears fell, and her fingers trembled as they left the man, pouring in so much emotion as they wrapped around him.

Emperor Xu could no longer control his emotions. In front of the officials, he pulled the imperial concubine up and held her in his arms. "Imperial concubine, you are willing to leave me, but I can't leave you. Why go to the fiefdom? We are not going to the fiefdom."

Jiang Jing and others lowered their heads.

Do not look at anything indecent.

Jiusu watched her perform quietly.

Imperial Concubine Qi Jing sobbed softly, nestling in the Emperor's arms. At the right moment, she distanced herself from him, facing away from everyone else, gently wiped away her tears, shook her head, and said sympathetically, "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. But, is there anyone who wouldn't be happy with your behavior?"

Emperor Xu's heart and eyes were filled with her.

He stepped forward, put his arms around the woman again, and said, "Who dares to dissent from my decree?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was startled.

The reason was simple: Jiusu was tired of this drama, so she decided to add some drama. She suddenly stood up, ran behind the curtain, knelt on the ground, and cried, "Doctor, what did you say happened to my father? What did you mean he was dying?"

Li Ningwan was about to open her eyes, but closed them again silently.

Imperial Physician: “…Um…I don’t think I said…”

Jiusu's eyes trembled slightly: "You don't have to lie to me, I can accept it. There is no justice here. Leaving a complete body when I die is already good enough."

The imperial physician thought about it and felt that it was necessary to explain that the marquis was not dead, but was just seriously injured.

"Actually, Lord..."

【Silver Leaf-10】

Jiusu placed a set of "Common Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases" in front of the imperial physician.

I guess this person is Gao Mingcao's father, Gao Yuanshou.

After just flipping through a few pages, the imperial physician immediately changed his tone: "The Marquis's injuries are truly too severe. Not to mention walking, even breathing is difficult. Alas, please accept my condolences, Lord Jiu."

Hearing footsteps, the dean put the book in his arms and slowly lowered his head.

The emperor knew clearly who Jiusu and the imperial physician were talking to.

Emperor Xu put his hands behind his back and asked, "Is the Marquis' injury really that serious?"

The head of the High Court said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Marquis is seriously injured. The criminal law of the Metropolitan Censorate is among the best."

Jiusu straightened his back and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured. My father and I will not cause any trouble for you. I beg Your Majesty to allow my family to leave Shengjing."

"You! Are you threatening me?" Emperor Xu was furious. If she weren't a woman, he would have kicked her. "Do you think I dare not demote you to commoners? If you don't want to be an official, there are plenty of people who can do it."

Jiusu admitted.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many people who are not afraid of fatigue or hardship and can endure. She does not object to this statement, but she will not compromise with those who belittle her.

She is a useful and valuable person.

"You're right."

Emperor Xu was so angry that his beard was puffing and his eyes were glaring. He felt like he had punched cotton. He sat back down, his hands resting on the dragon-patterned armrests, and sneered, "Xu Changrong framed the Marquis, stripped him of his throne, and demoted him to a prince. If he does it again, you'll follow me to Mobei to fight."

Xu Changrong had no choice but to accept it.

Emperor Xu said, "The Marquis is seriously injured. Since you are a filial minister, you will not have to attend court for the next few days. The Salt Bureau will be managed by officials within the palace for the time being. Are you satisfied?"

Seeing a barely perceptible smug look on the emperor's face.

Jiusu understood in his heart.

The emperor was waiting for her to panic and get scared, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, in order to demonstrate the royal authority, but she refused. She smiled and bowed with ease.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

These three short words once again caused the emperor to lose his mind.

Emperor Xu waved his hand impatiently: "Go down."

This woman obeyed the emperor's orders so well, what reason did he have to be angry?

"You guys go down too."

"I'll take my leave." Jiang Jing carried the Marquis on his back.

After the door of the imperial study was closed again, a loud noise was heard from inside. Emperor Xu threw everything on the table to the ground, venting his anger. He walked over to the imperial concubine who was kneeling on the ground and asked the emperor to calm down.

Go straight to Xu Changrong.

He kicked him in the fat belly.

"You're more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything! Do you know that to save you, I lost a marquis, a minister rarely seen in a thousand years! I really want to chop off your head!"

Xu Changrong hugged the emperor's calf and said fearfully, "Father, I will never cause trouble again. It's just one woman, isn't it? I can find you a few more, right? Besides, this is Xu's world. Isn't it okay for her to do whatever you want?"

Emperor Xu was angry again.

"Why don't you just die?" He gritted his teeth in frustration. "Without them, the Xu Kingdom would be in ruins. Listen to me, if you do these stupid things again, go to Mobei."

Concubine Qijing looked up at her son and gestured.

Xu Changrong kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your son will remember this. Your son will take his leave first."

suddenly.

Emperor Xu felt a pair of tender hands wrapping around his waist. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he closed his eyes to enjoy the beauty's 'touch'. "My beloved, I haven't seen you for a long time. You smell so good."

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Does the emperor like it?"

Her hand moved from the man's throat all the way down to hook his belt, but he held her hand. She raised her head in surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Emperor Xu coughed lightly and said, "I still have official business to attend to."

Concubine Qi Jing was suspicious. She followed, lifted her legs, sat on the emperor's lap, twisted her body and said, "Your Majesty, please stop reading these boring memorials. I miss you so much..."

She caressed the emperor's face affectionately.

Emperor Xu turned his head away guiltily. He liked the imperial concubine, but Xu Changrong had found him several exotic beauties. After several nights of this, his body was already exhausted and he could only laugh dryly.

"I……"

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door, and Eunuch Shang whispered, "Your Majesty, the Minister of War wishes to see you regarding an important matter."

"Xuan!"

In fact, Emperor Xu didn't even hear clearly who was coming. Even if Xu Changrong and the Marquis came together, he was not afraid. At the moment, the imperial concubine was really scary. He stroked the imperial concubine's hand and sighed with pretended regret.

"Your Highness, please return to the palace first. I will come to see you tonight, okay?"

Concubine Qi Jing was afraid of angering the emperor, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I will wait for you in the palace."

The Minister of War stood outside the door with his head down. He waited until the imperial concubine left before he quickly followed Eunuch Shang into the hall, holding a blueprint tightly in his hand.

He knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have seen you. Long live the Emperor."

Emperor Xu looked at him with particular affection: "It's Lord Hao, please get up quickly. What do you want from me?"

The Minister of War handed the blueprint to Eunuch Shang. Looking at the deserted palace, he felt a little strange. Wasn't Miss Jiu supposed to come to the palace to meet the Emperor? Why was she nowhere to be seen? "Your Majesty, if we can produce the siege equipment shown in this blueprint, we will be able to seize the initiative in the battle in Mobei!"
