"Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. Some ministers who have a good relationship with me have told me privately that if this happens, His Majesty might appoint the Sixth Prince as the heir...
Besides, father, the military power of the Nine Gates is in our hands, and there are also barracks outside the city to protect the capital. We also have backup plans. Does His Majesty really dare to attack our family?"
Xiao Shizhong has always thought so, and there is also the Queen in the palace...
"That being said, don't forget that there are still many generals who are loyal to the He family and are in control of the military power. Why didn't Your Majesty touch them?
These people will not be of the same mind as our Xiao family. As a father, I am really worried that there is some conspiracy here. It is really puzzling. Alas, I hope I am just overthinking. Your Majesty is really getting old and confused. "
Xiao Guogang sighed. Could it be that he has gotten older, become less courageous, and is not as optimistic as before when encountering things?
"Okay, father, take a break. I understand that you said so much because you want me to be more restrained. Don't worry, I will keep it in mind."
"You can understand this, so my words are not in vain. Please be more careful in the future!"
Hearing that his son could understand his painstaking efforts, Xiao Guogang was relieved...
"Dad, the kid is going down first."
"Wait, I'm warning you, don't think about that little Korean. Don't mention Huang Baiwan's matter again. Don't even think about it. All the business over there will be lost."
"Yes, Dad, I understand."
Xiao Shizhong agreed on the surface, but he couldn't swallow this anger in his heart. If his father hadn't stopped him, he would have taken people to Qinglong Town to slap Xing Bang a few times to vent his anger first.
…
"Little Korean, this second brother of mine is a bit reckless by nature. Don't take it to heart. I believe that after I say this, he will forget about it after a while."
Queen Xiao had repeatedly warned Xing Bang before he came in, and also explained Xing Bang's situation, directly saying that he was her confidant.
"Don't worry, Madam. It was just a misunderstanding. As long as you don't mind, I won't take it to heart."
"Well, okay, I know you are magnanimous, so I won't mention this matter again in the future...
But, I don't know who the woman you saved is?"
Empress Xiao has been worrying about the Sixth Prince recently and has not had the time to avoid attention on other things. However, she is still somewhat interested in this matter. She knows that Xing Bang is a cautious person and will not do things that give others a handle for no reason, even though he has made such a great contribution.
"I have no relationship with this woman, but her story is well known in Qinglong Town, and I happened to hear about it. This woman is indeed pitiful, and Huang Baiwan is indeed deeply hated by the people. As the queen said, he deserves to be killed. It can be said that killing him is equivalent to eliminating harm for the people, so I saved him and calmed the people of Qinglong Town."
"Is it that simple?"
Queen Xiao smiled slightly...
"Well, to be honest with you, this woman is very beautiful. I was indeed attracted to her when I saw her."
Xing Bang had no intention of hiding it, he was just taking a break. Liu Xian already knew about it, so who else couldn't tell? It could be considered a kind of protection for Zheng Xiujun.
"A woman who can make you fall in love at first sight must be talented and beautiful. If I have the chance, I really want to meet her. Haha, I feel a little embarrassed to have you in front of me..."
Today is the happiest day for Queen Xiao in recent days. Not only has Jing'er's illness been cured, but Xiaobangzi has also made such a great contribution. More importantly, he is her great benefactor. She believes that Xiaobangzi is the greatest arm given to her by God.
"Hehe, Madam, she is quite pretty, but compared to your beauty, it's like the stars shining brighter than the moon, there is absolutely no comparison!"
"Look at what you said. I'm already old..."
Queen Xiao smiled sweetly, naturally she liked to hear such praise.
"Your Majesty, you are too modest. You are naturally beautiful and will still be radiant in ten years..."
Xing Bang understood some things in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them out loud.
"Haha, I love to hear that. I hope it's as you said!"
Empress Xiao's charming smile was very alluring, and her words revealed her confidence that she would still be as charming as ever ten years later.
Xing Bang laughed happily along...
"Oh, by the way, how are you going to accommodate the woman you rescued? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"My lady, when I returned to the city, I rode on His Majesty's imperial sedan chair. I didn't expect His Majesty to know about this and even said that he would reward me well..."
It was impossible for Empress Xiao not to know that Liu Xian brought civil and military officials to the city gate to receive the Xing stick. There was nothing to hide. They were all undercover agents from three parties, so they had to report what they should report. Moreover, this matter would only benefit her.
"Alright, then I won't get involved in this matter. However, if you need me for anything, just let me know."
Queen Xiao didn't care about these things, as long as this little Bang was of the same mind as her. She was very grateful to Xing Bang in her heart. She even thought that he dared to take on this job just for Jing'er and saved Jing'er's life. To her, this was the greatest achievement. As long as it was something she could do, she would definitely not be stingy.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam!"
Xing Bang felt a little embarrassed. This time, he might have gained more than he expected from his efforts to eradicate smallpox. On his side, Madam Fanghua and others would surely admire him even more, so he would have to put in more effort...
Needless to say, Liu Xian was very satisfied. Empress Xiao was even a little grateful, except for herself who was still not sure. It seemed that as long as Xing Bang had any requirements, she would try her best to satisfy them.
"Little Korean, I'm very curious, what other medical skills do you know besides the treatment of smallpox?"
"Your Highness, this smallpox treatment was also a coincidence. As for medical skills, that old Taoist priest taught me some, but they were only for curing some very strange and difficult diseases. Before I entered the palace, I thought about practicing medicine to make a living, but I was almost beaten to death, so I never mentioned this matter!"
"Huh? Being beaten for practicing medicine? Why?"
Empress Xiao frowned slightly, looking a little unbelievable...
"It's hard to explain, Madam. For example, some of the obscure diseases of women, even my acupuncture skills cannot handle them...
I don’t know who this old Taoist is, but he’s teaching me these strange medical skills. I’m afraid they are useless.”
"Although it sounds a bit absurd, I also believe that you have real ability. It's just that the world is too ignorant. However, little Korean, don't be discouraged. I believe that there will be a place for you to use your skills!
I can still understand a little bit..."
As she spoke, Empress Xiao's face flushed...
