Chapter 183 Fu Tu Makes His Move
The palace maids are preparing to go into the water.
Suddenly, a black aura appeared out of nowhere and swept over.
They swept the two people in the lake away.
Suddenly, everything went dark.
"What happened?"
"Could it be that some evil spirit is at work?"
"Protect, protect the emperor... protect the emperor!"
The palace servants who had just stepped into the water withdrew their feet and continued to surge towards Xia Jingheng.
Xia Jingheng closed his eyes.
After losing consciousness for a while.
The black fog in front of us has dissipated.
Si He stood before me, her clothes and hair dry, dignified and proper, as if she had never been exposed to water.
Fanzhi, on the other hand, was left on the ground, soaking wet like a dying fish.
Qingbao raised her round little face slightly, looking very proud.
Her subordinates are always so efficient.
Tang Chen was just about to fight the black energy when she discovered it was Fu Tu's aura.
He immediately closed the umbrella again!
This guy.
Why make such a fuss just to fish Si He out, then dry her off and put her on the ground?
really.
Those who followed Qingbao were definitely not normal people.
"Save them!" Xia Jingheng's expression was cold and stern.
He had sent someone to summon the imperial physician early on, and now the physician was kneeling on the ground, pressing on Fanzhi's chest.
Sihe stroked her hair bun with one hand.
Hmm, it's very dry and smooth. Master Fu Tu is indeed incredibly powerful.
Fan Zhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, glaring fiercely at Si He, "I haven't even left the East Palace yet, and Madam Si He is already trying to kill me to silence me?"
She was just being held down and killed by Si He, and many eyes were watching.
"Your Highness, please do justice for me." Fan Zhi's eyes were wet with tears, and her body was soaked and shivering from the cold.
Xia Jingheng looked down at her, "Do you want me to investigate you for running away without permission, or for pushing Si He into the water?"
“I have already banished you from the palace. You are no longer by my side. These two crimes are enough to cost you your head.”
His words were cold and devoid of any emotion.
Fan Zhi shuddered, her kneeling posture went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.
That's really true!
His Highness truly has no affection for her whatsoever!
Si He sighed, "Let her go."
Xia Jingheng looked up at her, puzzled. "But she wants your life."
He said things shouldn't happen more than three times, and this was already out of consideration for their relationship.
Now that there's a fourth time, this tangled branch must not be allowed to remain.
If Sihe can't swim, then this matter will be irreversible.
"Then you can hand her over to me to deal with, okay?" Si He smiled gently.
Xia Jingheng's expression relaxed slightly. "Mm."
Sihe took off her coat, wrapped it around the trembling Fanzhi, and took her back to her room.
Fan Zhi's eyes were bloodshot as he knelt down before her.
"Thank you for cooperating with my acting, Madam."
In fact, she was always unwilling to leave because she believed that she still held a place in His Highness's heart.
She was undoubtedly jealous when she saw Sihe and Qingbao appear.
But what can jealousy do?
Will she really kill Sihe and make His Highness hate her for the rest of his life?
After more than a decade of friendship, even if she had to leave quietly, she didn't want His Highness to hate her.
So she begged Sihe to act in a play with her.
If His Highness deals with her without showing any mercy afterward, Fanzhi will be able to extinguish that last glimmer of hope and leave peacefully.
Si He helped her up. "Hurry up and change your clothes before leaving, or you'll catch a cold."
The branches nodded.
After realizing my own worth, I finally felt relieved.

Inside the hall.
Xia Jingheng and Qingbao sat facing each other.
He asked someone to bring a soft cushion so that Qingbao could nestle in it with her little bottom. She looked chubby and adorable.
but.
She frowned slightly, her face full of domineering air. "Jing Heng, I know how much of a blow it must be to you to know that I'm in trouble. But next time, you just need to stay behind me and obey my orders. Don't take any more risks in the future, understand?"
The enigmatic little girl wanted to pat Xia Jingheng on the shoulder with a heartfelt expression.
But I only realized it when I stretched out my little hand.
It's too short, I can't reach it.
Qingbao awkwardly withdrew her hand and pinched the little tuft of hair on her head.
"Ahem, from now on, you must not act rashly on anything I have not given you instructions, understand?"
Xia Jingheng nodded and softly agreed, "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Sangbiao. I have learned a lot."
"Yes, yes, thankfully the result is good. Xiao Chen has willingly submitted to this overlord." Qingbao patted her chest.
He gazed out the window, feigning deep thought.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Qingbao sighed softly, "How lonely it is to be invincible."
Tang Chen closed his eyes, forcing himself not to hit her.
With her strength, killing Qingbao would be a piece of cake.
However, this little thing is incredibly cunning; having his lifeline controlled by it is utterly despicable and shameless.
How dare she say she submitted willingly?
Why don't we try to break the formation?
Let's see if she'll sleep with Qingbao!
His cold, aloof persona, built up over a thousand years, has been completely destroyed!
Xia Jingheng glanced at her and noticed that Tang Chen's knuckles were white as she gripped the umbrella.
He suppressed a smile, "Lord Sang Biao is very capable."
"Hmm, is there anything else? Tell me more." Qingbao squinted her eyes, her cheeks puffed out as she enjoyed the moment.
Xia Jingheng: "Your mother is also very decisive."
"A woman who can give birth to a ruler like me is naturally formidable." Qingbao praised her mother without reservation, and then got down to business.
"Jing Heng, when will you end your feigned indifference? Once you don the dragon robe and rule the mortal world, this overlord will descend to the underworld to summon 100,000 ghost soldiers to wipe out Tian Xian!"
Qingbao suddenly stood up, her chubby little foot stepping on the table.
His fleshy face was full of determination, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Tang Chen chuckled silently, shaking her head while holding her umbrella.
Qingbao is really like a crazy person who overestimates their abilities!
With Yi Xuan present, the heavens are as stable as Mount Tai. How could a judge who hasn't even become a god possibly overturn them?
Xia Jingheng was stunned for a moment, then forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth: "Lord Sang Biao, I reckon it will still take some time before we can close the net."
"Why?" Qingbao leaned closer, looking at him with a dissatisfied expression.
Xia Jingheng's expression gradually turned serious. "I don't know why, but I'm waking up less and less each day..."
Sometimes, he feels like he's not himself.
Sometimes, he loses consciousness when he closes his eyes.
He didn't know why either.
He took out the fortune slip from his pocket and handed it to Qingbao, saying, "This is the fortune slip I was born with. Qingbao, can you see anything in it?"
He wanted to understand himself completely.
I don't want to live my life like this, without knowing why.
Qingbao took it, "This overlord has a powerful fortune teller subordinate. I'll give it to him to take a look another day."
"Thank you." Xia Jingheng smiled gently.
Qingbao frowned. "You are my number one general. How could I treat you unfairly? Jingheng, serve me well. When the Three Realms are unified, I will grant you the highest position."
"Hmm, what about the Overlord's mother? Has she submitted to you?" Xia Jingheng asked.
Qingbao raised her head slightly and sighed with considerable worry:
"Even if she doesn't submit to this overlord, she can't influence this overlord's decision! Little mother, you've got to play with me!"
"Yeah?"
