Chapter 267: A witch woman?

Li Qing sat on the throne with a calm expression.

But in his heart, he was already laughing wildly!

"Brother Leopard is awesome!..."

After roaring inwardly with joy, Li Qing cast an approving look at Shen Gongbao.

Afterwards, Li Qingcai coughed dryly and said, "Shen Gongbao! How can you be so rude? How can the Marquis of Xibo not be a human being?"

Shen Gongbao quickly bowed and said, "Ah, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was angry and spoke wildly. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Forget it, forget it. Considering that your words were unintentional, you can't be wrong. Back off!"

Li Qing waved his hands for a moment.

Shen Gongbao immediately thanked him and then returned to his seat.

Li Qing then looked at Ji Chang again, and as if he had just realized something, he shouted, "Oh! Why are you vomiting blood, Lord Xibo? Come! Take Lord Xibo down to get medical treatment!"

"Ahem! Your Excellency, Your Excellency is fine!"

It was Ji Chang. He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then gritted his teeth, raised his head, and shouted in a deep voice.

"How can he be alright? He's even vomiting blood! Someone, take the Duke of Xibo away and treat him!"

When Li Qing heard this, he immediately waved his hand and then shouted again.

This time, the guards outside the door no longer hesitated. No matter how Ji Chang yelled, they simply carried him out of the Wanshou Hall.

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was Ji Chang's roar: "Your Excellency is fine! Your Excellency is fine!!"

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't want to see you, an old thing, either. You're so disgusting."

After cursing inwardly, Li Qing said seriously, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

What else do the ministers have to say at this moment?

Originally, they had simply come to welcome the Duke of Xibo today, but they had not expected that the Duke of Xibo would humiliate His Majesty in such a way in the Golden Palace.

Fortunately, Doctor Shen Gong was extremely resourceful and managed to refute the old man until he vomited blood, thus saving the emperor's face.

Therefore, all the ministers were speechless.

Seeing this, Li Qing laughed heartily and said, "Since there's nothing else to do, let's dismiss the court! My dear ministers, you've been up so long, why don't you go back and take a nap! Hahahaha!"

Li Qing was in an extremely cheerful mood. He stood up with a big laugh, flicked his long sleeves, put his hands behind his back and went back to the harem.

"Retreat~!"

Wang Youzhi's voice resounded throughout the hall again.

Shen Gongbao scolded Ji Chang so much that he vomited blood in the hall. This incident naturally made Li Qing feel very relieved. After bringing him to the harem, Li Qing asked Wang Youzhi to announce the decree and rewarded Shen Gongbao with many good things.

Of course, this matter was not done openly, otherwise if Ji Chang knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would die in Chaoge.

If this is the case, then it will be difficult to deal with. Jifa's rebellion will be well-founded.

I felt refreshed and the breakfast was delicious.

"His Majesty……"

But just when he had eaten half of it, Wang Youzhi suddenly stood at the door of the hall and called out softly.

"Hmm? What's up?"

Li Qing asked lightly while chewing.

"Du Yuanxian asks to see His Majesty."

Wang Youzhi bowed and replied.

"Du Yuanxian?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Why would he want to see me, huh?"

Li Qing's eyes flashed, and he looked up and said, "Come in."

"promise……"

Wang Youzhi quickly retreated.

A moment later, Du Yuanxian's voice was heard from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, I, Du Yuanxian, pay my respects to you!"

"Come in."

Li Qingran said calmly

Du Yuanxun walked into the hall upon hearing the sound, and then quickly came in front of Li Qing.

Du Yuanxuan's face was filled with mystery. After glancing around, he turned to Li Qing and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday at midnight, a woman came outside the Chaoge formation to pay her respects to Your Majesty, but I stopped her. It was late at night, so I didn't bother Your Majesty rashly. The next day, Your Majesty went to meet the Marquis of Xibo, so I only have time now to report this to you. Your Majesty, that woman claimed to be from the witch tribe..."

"She's there now."

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. He just took the gauze handkerchief and wiped his mouth before asking lightly.

"I didn't dare let her into the city. She is now waiting at the post station ten miles outside the south city."

Du Yuanxun spoke quickly.

"Let me go over and take a look. This matter must not be made public."

Li Qing nodded and stood up.

"promise!"

Du Yuanxun nodded, then quickly took Li Qing out of the hall and took a shortcut out of the palace.

Li Qing naturally no longer wore his crown and robes, but changed into an ordinary suit.

Li Qing and Du Yuanxun quietly left the city of Chaoge.

"Jiufeng, Jiufeng, you are finally here..."

Li Qing walked forward calmly, but with a hint of joy in his heart.

Now that Jiufeng is here, his worries are unnecessary.

Today is really a double blessing.

He cursed Ji Chang and felt relieved. Now his woman Jiufeng had returned safely, which made him even happier.

"Your Majesty, we're here."

Soon, Du Yuanxun brought Li Qing to a post station ten miles outside the south city of Chaoge.

This post station is the first one outside the city of Chaoge, so it is built in a very grand manner, with pavilions, towers, gardens and lakes, and is no less luxurious than a mansion.

Of course, those who can come to this post station are all important figures from all parties. They can rest for another day or half a day, and then go into the city to meet the Human Emperor.

The fact that Jiufeng could live here seemed to be because Du Yuanxian knew that this woman might be his king's lover, concubine, or even plaything, so he dared not treat her badly, otherwise her whispers would kill him. That's why he brought her here and made arrangements for her, and then he would meet the king to inform him of everything.
