Chapter 77: It's Not in vain

Looking around the civil and military officials in the court, no one dared to point at Emperor Zhaoning's nose, speak to him like that, or even say they wanted to beat him.

The man in front of me is the first one.

What a courage.

Emperor Zhaoning didn't wait for the man to hit him. He grabbed the man's finger that was stretched out in front of him with a dark face and broke it with ruthless force.

The fingers are connected to the heart.

The pain of severed fingers is not something that most people can bear.

The man screamed immediately. His cry was sharp and piercing. The whole alley was filled with his voice, and even the patrolling city guards who were sprinkling lime powder on the street were alarmed.

The city patrol guards had already been punished and dared not neglect their duties again.

When they heard the scream, they rushed into the alley.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at the man who was howling in front of him and said, "Keep your mouth shut. If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your tongue."

"I? Do you think you are the emperor?" The man glanced at Emperor Zhaoning sarcastically. Seeing that Emperor Zhaoning was dressed like an ordinary rich man and did not wear a dragon robe, he did not think he was the emperor.

He also said in a cold voice: "You dare to pretend to be the emperor? Just wait for the patrol guards to come and catch you! I can hear the footsteps of the patrol guards coming, you are finished."

"Oh……"

Emperor Zhaoning smiled disdainfully and signaled the accompanying guards to escort the man.

He, Li Feijiujiu and the other two stepped forward and helped up Qingzi who had been kicked to the ground.

The man's kick at first was really fierce. Qingzi was kicked so hard that she could hardly stand up. She held her stomach and bent her waist, looking very painful. After she was helped up, she was still shaky and looked like she could fall at any time.

Princess Li hurriedly supported Qingzi.

Qingzi endured the pain, glanced at Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li Jiujiu, and said, "Thank you for your help."

"That's wrong." Emperor Zhaoning said, "I just saw you prescribing medicine for an old woman who was infected with the plague. Can you cure this plague?"

I?

"Are you the emperor?"

Qingzi was shocked and wanted to kneel down to pay respect, but was stopped by Emperor Zhaoning. "If you are not feeling well, don't kneel. Just answer my questions."

Qingzi nodded and said, "I have learned medicine from my master. My medical skills are quite good. I can make a medicine to cure the plague."

"Great, great!" Emperor Zhaoning glanced at Jiujiu, smiled and praised, "This trip was not in vain, Jiujiu, thanks to you. If you hadn't come here to buy candied haws, your father wouldn't have met someone who could cure the plague."

Emperor Zhaoning pretended not to hear Jiujiu's thoughts. He met Qingzi, who could cure the plague, only because Jiujiu came here to buy candied haws.

This is exactly the effect that Jiujiu wants.

Jiujiu waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as the plague can be cured, it's good."

"I'll reward you when I get back."

"Okay." Jiujiu agreed.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at Qingzi again and said seriously: "Since you have the talent to cure the plague, you can join the Imperial Hospital. Are you willing to follow me into the Imperial Hospital and become an imperial physician?"

If a woman entered the Imperial Medical Bureau, became an imperial physician, and cured the plague, she would become a role model for women all over the world.

In the future, it will be easier for women to study and practice medicine, and it will not be considered a shame like it is now.

"Imperial Hospital?"

When Qingzi heard these words, a light flashed quickly in his eyes.

That place is a medical holy land where many medical masters gather. She wants to go there to learn medical skills from them, study prescriptions, and devote her life to medicine.

But her husband didn't like her practicing medicine, and she also had children who were still young and needed her care, so she really couldn't spare the time to go.

Thinking of this, Qingzi sighed regretfully, and his eyes slowly dimmed.

Qingzi's husband also took the opportunity to threaten: "You damn woman, if you dare to leave, you will never come back, and you will never see your son again."

Her son is Qingzi's weak spot. If it weren't for her son, she would have divorced her man long ago and gone to treat illnesses and save lives.

At this moment, the man threatened Qingzi with his son. Qingzi panicked and said hurriedly, "I won't go. Please don't stop me from seeing my son."

"Haha." The man laughed with a triumphant smile, "You can't escape from my grasp."

Qingzi looked at Emperor Zhaoning with shame: "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I..."

Before Qingzi could finish, Emperor Zhaoning interrupted and said, "I can make the decision and let you divorce. Your son will be yours! I can also summon you to the Imperial Hospital, grant you a residence, and receive a salary from the court. Even so, do you still want to refuse me?"

this--

If she could really get a divorce, have her son, and work in the Imperial Medical Bureau, she wouldn't have to worry about her livelihood in the future, and could continue to treat illnesses and save lives.

This is a great opportunity to escape from the sea of ​​suffering!

You can’t get it even if you beg for it.

Qingzi gritted her teeth and made a prompt decision: "I am willing."

"You took it seriously?" Qingzi's man said sarcastically, "He is not the emperor at all. He is deceiving you. He has a crush on you, so he seduced you like this."

"You are a slut who knows nothing. And you are an adulterer. When the city patrol comes, the city patrol will not let you go."

After hearing this, Jiujiu felt that although the adults could tolerate it, he really couldn't.

She ran forward, slapped Qingzi's man a few times, and started cursing.

"You are such a jerk, what are you talking about? Can you guess what my father is like?"

"Jiujiu is so angry."

"If you say it again, ninety-nine, ninety-nine..."

Jiujiu was so angry that she sat on the ground and took off her shoes and socks. Seeing that the man wanted to say more, she stuffed both her shoes and socks into the man's stinky mouth.

Listening to this person talk can really make me angry to the point of shortening my life!

That's all she can do.

The man finally stopped nagging.

Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at Jiujiu with satisfaction. The little girl still knew how to help her father vent his anger, and she was so fierce. It was worth it that he loved her so much.

Emperor Zhaoning felt quite relieved.

Princess Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This girl is so fierce. She put all her shoes and socks into other people's mouths. She looks very domineering.

But she likes it.

Even in the middle of winter, the little girl's feet would be cold without shoes and socks.

Concubine Li hurried forward, picked up Jiujiu, and wanted to warm her feet, but Emperor Zhaoning stepped forward before her and held Jiujiu's small feet in his big hands to keep them warm.

Concubine Li was stunned. The emperor was actually holding Jiujiu's feet with both hands?

Concubine Li was certain and affirmative that none of the emperor's seventeen princes had ever received such treatment, except Jiujiu. Jiujiu was truly blessed.

Emperor Zhaoning felt that he was very lucky to have a precious daughter like Jiujiu.

If it weren't for Jiujiu, the troubles facing Western Chu would not be solved in a short time. The overall national strength would also decline and decline again because of these things until the country was destroyed.

Now that he has reached the age of ninety-nine, if the troubles are solved bit by bit, Western Chu will definitely not perish!

The sudden arrival of the city patrol broke this wonderful atmosphere.

The man being held captive saw the patrolling city guard as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

He couldn't speak, but he could scream.

He stretched his neck and screamed desperately, trying to attract the attention of the patrolling city guards so as to escape the miserable situation of being held captive with shoes and socks stuffed in his mouth.
