Chapter 205: Dare to bully my woman, die!
Chapter 205: Dare to bully my woman, die!
I heard Huang Wei say that she would be responsible for all the consequences.
Those palace maids and eunuchs hardened their hearts and gritted their teeth, then surrounded Xie Wanqing.
"Xie Zhaoyi, we are truly sorry, we were only following orders!"
Xie Wanqing never expected that Huang Wei would be so bold as to rebel against Tiangang and openly bully her master.
"Huang Wei, I am His Majesty's Zhaoyi. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment for committing such an insubordination?"
When Huang Wei heard Xie Wanqing bring up His Majesty, her heart instinctively skipped a beat.
However, she changed her mind and realized that His Majesty married Xie Wanqing and made her a Zhaoyi out of consideration for the Empress Dowager's favor, not out of willingness.
Even the wedding night was just a routine.
I guess Your Majesty will rarely come here in the future.
And behind him, he has the support of the Queen Mother.
There is nothing to fear at all.
What's more, now that things have come to this point, she can no longer retreat.
Thinking of this, she put her hands on her hips again and became arrogant.
"Xie Wanqing, don't you see your own status? Do you really think you are His Majesty's concubine?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. From now on, Your Majesty will never come here again. Just give up on this idea!"
Having said this, she couldn't suppress her pride and burst into laughter.
But the next moment, her smile completely froze on her face.
"Who said I will never come here again?"
Before the sound could be heard, the door was violently kicked open.
His Majesty's shadow clone, Li Changsheng, suddenly appeared outside the door.
This sudden scene shocked Huang Wei and other palace maids and eunuchs.
Their legs gave way and they all fell to the ground, their faces pale and terrified.
"Your Majesty, Xie Wanqing is a noble Zhaoyi, yet she's taking someone else's pulse. This is truly disgraceful to the royal family. When the Empress Dowager learned of this, she was furious and sent this servant here to teach her the rules of the harem..."
Huang Wei was the first to complain, and she even brought up the Queen Mother to support herself.
Seeing that Huang Wei was trying to turn the tables, Xie Wanqing was worried that the emperor would believe her lies, so she quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, it is because you allowed me to continue studying medicine that I..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Changsheng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything, I already know!"
"Come here, drag this wicked slave out who is committing treason and bullying his master. Beat him to death!"
Huang Wei originally thought that she had the Queen Mother's support, and she also reported the evidence of Xie Wanqing's crimes that damaged the royal family's reputation.
Your Majesty will definitely not punish me for the sake of the Queen Mother.
But never imagined...
He came up and sentenced himself to death.
Moreover, it is executed immediately.
This frightened Huang Wei to the point of peeing her pants. Her face turned pale as ice and she begged desperately with a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me. I am a maid in the Queen Mother's palace. I am following the Queen Mother's orders..."
Li Changsheng glared at her and scolded her, "How dare you bully my woman? Not to mention a lowly servant like you, even if the Queen Mother herself came, it wouldn't work!"
"Come here, drag this slave out and beat her to death!"
After hearing the order from "Your Majesty", the personal guard quickly stepped forward and dragged Huang Wei out.
Upon seeing this, the other palace maids and eunuchs all kowtowed prostrating themselves on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, please spare my life..."
Xie Wanqing was kind-hearted and knelt down to plead for them.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with them. It was Huang Wei who forced them to do it. Please forgive them this time!"
Li Changsheng was not a person who killed people indiscriminately. Beating Huang Wei to death would have served as a warning to others and there was no need to kill more people.
"Since Consort Xie pleaded for you, I will spare you this time!"
Upon hearing this, the palace maids and eunuchs were all as if they had been pardoned.
After they thanked His Majesty for not killing them, they all kowtowed and knelt down to express their gratitude to Xie Wanqing.
Li Changsheng waved his hand, as if shooing away flies, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
After the palace maids and eunuchs crawled away, only Li Changsheng and Xie Wanqing were left in the huge room.
"Wanqing, I came too late and made you suffer!"
Xie Wanqing's eyes were slightly red. She fought back her tears and called out, her voice choked, "Your Majesty."
Li Changsheng looked at the pitiful Xie Wanqing and took her into his arms.
The tears that Xie Wanqing had been holding back began to fall like beads from a broken string.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng gently kissed the tears on Xie Wanqing's cheek.
Let the tears spread on your taste buds.
A bit bitter!
After the two of them were together for a while, Li Changsheng asked casually.
"Wanqing, is Concubine Rou pregnant?"
Xie Wanqing was slightly surprised when she heard this.
"Your Majesty, how do you know this?"
Li Changsheng said: "Of course it was Concubine Rou who told me!"
Xie Wanqing bit her lip lightly and nodded.
"Ok!"
Li Changsheng asked: "Have you told anyone?"
Xie Wanqing shook her head: "No!"
Li Changsheng pressed on, "The Queen Mother doesn't have any either?"
Xie Wanqing smiled bitterly and said, "If I tell the Queen Mother, then Huang Wei won't dare to treat me like this!"
Li Changsheng knew that his words had hurt Xie Wanqing's heart to some extent.
For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her, so he just hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Wanqing, I'm sorry for making you suffer!"
"Your Majesty, Wanqing is not suffering!"
"Wanqing, stop crying! It won't look good if your face gets all red from crying!"
While speaking, Li Changsheng was still very gentle and wiped Xie Wanqing's tears.
After hearing "Your Majesty" say this, Xie Wanqing slowly stopped crying.
"Well, Wanqing, don't cry!"
Li Changsheng smiled dotingly and said, "That's good. Let's go play chess!"
Xie Wanqing responded obediently and started playing chess with "Your Majesty" again.
She has a high talent in chess, and has been influenced by her grandfather since she was a child. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a national player.
Therefore, even with his eyes closed, he could defeat Li Changsheng, an amateur player, in seconds.
Li Changsheng surrendered again, losing ten battles in a row.
"Wanqing, your chess skills are too high. I am no match for you!"
Seeing the dragon that His Majesty had slaughtered, Xie Wanqing felt a little guilty.
In fact, she was very Buddhist at heart and had never thought of killing His Majesty and making him lose everything.
For this reason, she deliberately exposed several flaws in the middle game.
But even so, he still accidentally won against "Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
Li Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Wanqing, you are fine, why do you want to apologize to me?"
Xie Wanqing was honest and said, "I am ignorant and shouldn't have let Your Majesty lose so badly!"
Li Changsheng smiled generously and said, "It's just a game of chess. If I lose, I lose. It's no big deal."
"Besides, as the saying goes, if the East is dark, the West will be bright. My chess skills are indeed not as good as yours, but my card skills are unmatched in the world!"
Xie Wanqing was completely confused. She stared with her watery eyes and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is this card trick?"
Li Changsheng smiled mischievously and said, "What else could it be? Of course it's the skill of playing poker!"
After saying this, he didn't wait for Xie Wanqing to react.
He put his hands all over her and picked her up by the waist like a princess.
When Xie Wanqing heard the word "playing poker", her delicate cheeks suddenly became as hot as the fiery clouds hanging in the sky under the setting sun.
Suddenly, she thought of something and without caring about being shy, she hurriedly reminded him.
"Your Majesty, the bed is soaked by water. We can't play poker anymore..."
Li Changsheng looked at the wet bed and frowned slightly.
I have to say, this is really a bit of a bummer.
Such an evil slave is simply unforgivable.
At this moment, Li Changsheng caught a glimpse of a table not far away from the corner of his eye, and an idea came to him.
Immediately, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Xie Wanqing tightly with one arm.
With his other arm, he used his sleeve to sweep all the teapots and wine glasses down.
The exquisite porcelain fell to the ground, making a crackling sound.
The whole process was as simple and rough as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves...
