Chapter 221 Contempt



Gu Xue walked over with a bitter expression. The moment the crowd saw her, their chatter stopped instantly, but their eyes still held contempt. They couldn't help but glance at the woman beside her, wondering who she was. They had also heard that the divine physician Fei Xue had come to the mansion. Could she be the one?

Thinking of this, I felt a little excited. After all, the divine doctor Fei Xue was always elusive. When people heard that she had gone to a certain place, they rushed there, but she had already left. So no one had ever seen her true face.

"Begin training!"

The group trained reluctantly, their movements somewhat perfunctory. Seeing their attitude, Song Tangxue knew what kind of life Gu Xue had been living in the past few days. After all, the Vice Minister of War had managed the army very well, and it was bound to be met with dissatisfaction when a woman suddenly came to manage them. But that was no excuse for them to be perfunctory.

"Stop for a moment." Everyone stopped and realized that the one who spoke was the woman they suspected to be Fei Xue. Gu Xue walked up to them and said, "I thought the Qilin Army was extremely powerful, but after seeing it today, I realize it's just an empty reputation."

The Qilin Army, under the command of the Vice Minister of War, has made outstanding contributions in battle, and even the current emperor dares not offend them.

Song Tangxue's words completely humiliated them, and they immediately became indignant: "Our strength goes without saying, but it's really unacceptable for a little girl to be in charge of us!"

"As the daughter of the Vice Minister of War, she is naturally your master. Is this how you speak to your master?!"

The Qilin Army is proud and arrogant. They are respected wherever they go, which has fostered their haughty and arrogant nature.

"You are not a member of our household and have no right to speak ill of us."

They felt that the woman in front of them was not the legendary divine physician Fei Xue. The Fei Xue of legend was said to be intelligent, gentle, and wise, and would never be like this person.

"I am a guest advisor invited by Miss Gu, so I naturally have the right to discipline your military discipline. Soldiers should unconditionally obey their masters. Is this how you train martial arts!"

Perhaps Song Tangxue's aura was too strong, and the crowd scattered in twos and threes. Seeing that they were no longer as arrogant as before, Song Tangxue sat down on a chair to the side. Gu Xue admired her immensely. How come these people became so obedient as soon as she arrived?

"Miracle doctor, you are truly amazing. How did you do it?"

She has countless ways to deal with these young punks. Having already lived two lives, if she can't even handle a group of men in their twenties, then she might as well not live in this world.

"I have my own way. I will stay in the manor these next few days to take care of your health and help you gain a foothold in the army."

Gu Xue was deeply grateful and felt that Song Tangxue was the reincarnation of a living bodhisattva. Little did she know that Song Tangxue had only helped her in the army out of desperation.

The day passed quickly, and the group of kids had become much more restrained, though their attitude was still somewhat lax. But it was only the first day, so there was no rush.

On the other side, Song Tangli was having a very difficult time. She had tried to find an opportunity to speak with Li Zhaoxian the whole way, but she hadn't had a chance. Peixi had been following Shan Dan around like a servant.

Song Tangli was simply too angry to bear it any longer. She didn't want Peixi to keep bouncing around in front of her. She could be driven to death with anger even without returning to the capital.

So she came up with a plan. Su Yuxing had come along with her, so she could use him as a tool to kill him.

...

"Your Majesty." Su Yuxing was invited into the tent, where only Song Tangli was inside. "You've finally arrived. There's something I'd like you to do for me!"

Song Tangli briefly explained her plan to him, expecting Su Yuxing to agree immediately, but to her surprise, the latter remained indifferent.

"You won't help me? You're the only one I can rely on. I promise that if you help me with this big favor, I'll do whatever you ask of me in the future!"

Su Yuxing was even more conflicted. The plan proposed by Song Tangli coincided with what Song Tangxue had told him earlier, and he could only agree to one of them.

He was deeply attracted to Song Tangli at first sight, and fortunately, she also had feelings for him. The two quickly became acquainted in the mansion, and even the child in her womb was Su Yuxing's. If it were anything else, he could have easily agreed.

But this...

"Could it be that even you are leaving my side now?!" What's wrong with these people? They were all fine before, but now they all want to leave her. First Fang Jing, now Li Zhaoxian is messing around with that bitch, and even Su Yuxing doesn't listen to her anymore.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Song Tangli interrupted, "I don't care what your reasons are, you have to help me with this, or I'm finished!"

Su Yuxing nodded slowly. As for Song Tangxue, he could only hope that she wouldn't notice.

After resting for a night, they set off again. After running errands, they finally arrived in the south. The climate here was bad, and Song Tangli sneezed as soon as she got off the car. She wrapped her cloak tighter around herself and became even angrier when she saw a couple cuddling not far away.

Pei Xi's cloak was from Yuxiufang, the most famous shop on a street corner in the capital. Even if she wanted to order a piece of clothing there, she would have to wait ten days or half a month.

Pei Xi and Li Zhaoxian have been living together, so it's easy to imagine what might happen between them.

"I will make you pregnant with my child, and then I will make you my concubine and give you a grand wedding!"

Li Zhaoxian, oblivious to everything, grabbed Peixi's hand and walked forward. Song Tangli gritted her teeth and followed. Before long, Peixi would disappear from their sight, and then no one would be able to get in her way with Li Zhaoxian anymore.

The floods in the south were severe, and the people were rallying the court. Finally, someone came to provide relief, and everyone was overjoyed. However, Li Zhaoxian walked among the crowd, his disdain evident on his face.

The clothes of these people were all filthy, and they even dabbed their muddy hands on his clothes. It's no wonder that such a poor and remote place breeds such unruly people.

"Let's go quickly." Li Zhaoxian quickened his pace and hurried back to his residence in the south. Although this place was the best residence he had, it was still not even half as good as the mansion in the capital. "I really don't know why Father Emperor insisted that I stay here for a few days. Let's leave quickly. I really can't stay here for even a moment longer!"

Just then, Pei Xi asked to rest for a while, citing feeling unwell. Song Tangli gave Su Yuxing a look, and the latter immediately followed suit.

Pei Xi returned to her room. In fact, Song Tangli had long anticipated that Pei Xi would feel unwell, because she had added some medicinal powder to her food to weaken her body. The medicine took effect very quickly.
