Chapter 173 Coercion
The King of Chu was somewhat disappointed. Yan Qingning was so young, but his medical skills were so amazing. With time, he would surely become known as a miracle doctor.
Emperor Chu asked in detail about the condition of Chu Beiqing's legs.
Yan Qingning had questions and answers in a clear and organized manner.
He is much more calm and unperturbed than those imperial doctors.
"You are doing well! Okay, you can go back first..." After saying this, the Emperor of Chu turned around and walked towards the sedan chair.
Yan Qingning watched the Emperor of Chu go away, and she suddenly realized that she could follow the emperor without any obstacles.
But now the emperor has left, which makes people feel heartbroken. If she wants to go back to Concubine Hui, she has to take a long detour.
Yan Qingning waved his fist and bared his teeth at the emperor's back.
"Master, Master..." Yuqi rushed forward quickly and hugged her hands, full of fear, "Are you crazy?"
She snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Yuqi raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat that had broken out of her forehead because of her shock. "Master, you are too bold. How dare you? If someone finds out, it would be disrespectful at best, but I'm afraid that people would mistakenly think you were planning to assassinate us, and killing us would be the most unfair thing..."
Yan Qingning: “…”
Seeing that Yan Qingning was in a bad mood, Yuqi asked cautiously: "Master, what's wrong? What did the emperor say to you?"
She and Chen Dajian and others followed behind, and saw that the emperor looked like he was about to get angry several times, which frightened her so much that her legs were shaking.
But the master remained neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression did not change. She didn't know whether she admired him more or was more afraid.
Yan Qingning saw Yuqi's face turn pale, and couldn't help but smile jokingly, "Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Yuqi's breath was choked, and she shook her head like a rattle: "Just treat it as a servant and don't ask."
Forget it, she doesn't have the courage of the master, it's better for her to know nothing.
Yan Qingning couldn't help but feel thoughtful. It was said that the emperor's mind was hard to predict, and it was indeed true.
But I guess Chu Beiqing should know better.
She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. She just wanted to get out of the palace as soon as possible and leave this place of trouble.
Brainwashed by those palace fighting TV dramas, Yan Qingning felt that the palace was a battlefield for women to fight.
She didn't even have the heart to watch the fun, for she was afraid that instead of watching the fun, she would get covered in blood.
The closer it got to noon, the more intense the summer heat became. Even the flowers and plants in the imperial garden were wilted by the heat.
There was not a single person in the huge imperial garden, only the rich fragrance of soil and flowers filled the hot air.
As long as you cross the Imperial Garden, you will soon reach Concubine Hui's palace.
But there is nothing to be afraid of. What comes is more and more exciting. She doesn’t see the excitement of others, but she becomes the one who is enjoying the excitement.
As soon as she entered the Imperial Garden, she hadn't taken a few steps when she was stopped by a young eunuch dressed in rough clothes. He said in a thin voice, "Concubine Ning, please follow me to the Lanchun Pavilion in front. Someone wants to see you."
The young eunuch was not tall and was a little thin. He looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a gray eunuch's uniform and looked like a child who had stolen adult clothes.
Beneath the young eunuch's ordinary face, there was a feminine aura unique to eunuchs.
Yan Qingning's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously felt that something bad must be going on. "No, I'm busy."
Whoever you love, what does it have to do with her?
Yan Qingning said this, and walked around the young eunuch and wanted to leave.
The next moment, the young eunuch took a step forward and stood in front of her.
Yuqi immediately strode forward, pushed the young eunuch aside, and said sternly, "How dare you offend Prince Qing's concubine?"
The young eunuch was pushed unexpectedly by Yuqi and took several steps back before he could stand firm.
But his anger was no match for the deterrent power of King Qing.
The young eunuch bent his waist a little and lowered his neck a little.
But he did not retreat. Instead, he took out a simple and thin silver bracelet from his sleeve as if he had been prepared.
The opening of the silver bracelet is not big and the patterns on it are relatively smooth, which are obviously the result of being worn on the wrist for a long time.
Yan Qingning's eyes froze for a moment, and when she raised her eyes, her eyes looked particularly sharp, "Where did it come from!"
Yuqi, who was standing by, immediately turned around and whispered in her ear, "This, this silver bracelet, I vaguely remember it is exactly the same as the one worn on Miss Fifth's wrist."
Yuqi's words confirmed Yan Qingning's guess. When she thought of the skinny child, Yan Qingning's cold heart softened a little and her eyes turned cold.
The young eunuch showed a fearless smile on his face, "It seems that Concubine Ning recognized this silver bracelet."
"Master is asking you a question. Where did you get this silver bracelet?" Yuqi asked angrily.
Yan Qingning's eyes kept changing, and she felt worried and anxious.
Did something happen to Yan Qingyi?
Didn’t she already remind Yan Feng?
What on earth is Yan Feng doing?
In theory, Chu Jia was also secretly protecting Aunt Du and her son. If something happened, given Chu Jia's personality, she would definitely come to her for help first.
But I couldn't help but wonder, what if Chu Jia doesn't know yet?
While struggling, she asked loudly in her heart: Yan Qingning, do you want to be a saint? You are a clay Buddha now, and other people's life and death have nothing to do with you?
Besides, the original owner is not dead yet, her biological mother is her, her brother is also hers, how can they have anything to do with you? You think that their closeness to you is for the original owner, so everything is Chu Jia's responsibility.
Yes, Chu Jia is here, and Chu Jia is not a real child, she will take care of it, she will find a way.
Yan Qingning convinced herself and she walked away.
However, the eunuch's voice came faintly from behind her, "Since Concubine Ning doesn't care about the owner of this silver bracelet, then tomorrow, there will be one more servant like me in the palace."
Yan Qingning's fingers trembled, and her legs seemed to be suddenly entangled by two invisible chains, making it difficult for her to move forward.
In just a moment, she suddenly turned around, strode back, her eyes as bright as snow, and snatched the silver bracelet from the eunuch's hand.
He waved his hand and slapped the little eunuch.
"I hate threats."
The young eunuch was slapped on the side by her and tilted his head. "Please calm down, Concubine Ning. I am just following your orders."
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way." Yan Qingning's voice was filled with surging anger.
The water is sparkling, and a winding corridor with nine turns and eighteen bends leads to a two-story water pavilion built of stones.
Surrounded by water, the pavilion standing in the middle of the water looks lonely. A melodious flute sound, as refreshing as the spring breeze, rises from the ground.
It seems to soothe people's angry hearts and take their troubles away from the hustle and bustle of the world, but it also seems to have a more desolate meaning.
Yuqi was stopped by the young eunuch, so Yan Qingning motioned Yuqi to wait outside.
She went upstairs alone.
The flute sound came from upstairs.
Several folding Huanghuali floor-standing screens block out a narrow space.
When Yan Qingning saw the neatly dressed and spotless figure kneeling on the couch inside, her eyes, which seemed to be frozen with ice and snow, became even colder.
"His Royal Highness King Rui."
