Chapter 31 Tong Jia - Forgetting Worries (9)
"Don't be afraid, Qingqing, I will protect you!" Erhe immediately shielded Wangyou behind him, looking around warily.
"Let's go that way, otherwise if we see them and don't go to protect them, they might think we're with the assassins!" Wangyou said helplessly, calmly pulling Erhe towards the private room, where a fierce fight was already taking place.
Tingyu, meanwhile, had somehow drawn a sword and used it to completely protect Wangyou.
"Watch out!" Wangyou grabbed Erhe and dodged a sword that emerged from the wall.
Wangyou pondered, "The quality of this wall is terrible!"
Erhe was being dragged along by Wangyou without his control. He finally realized that his wife actually knew kung fu. After the initial shock, Erhe grabbed Wangyou's wrist and shielded her inside.
At this moment, the people in the private room rushed out, protecting one other person, but there were even more assassins below.
I don't understand why these people wear all black during the day. Are they afraid that others won't recognize them?
As the number of assassins increased, Erhe became somewhat overwhelmed. Since they were heading towards Kangxi's direction, there were even more assassins along the way, keeping Tingyu extremely busy.
After dodging another thrusting sword, Wangyou drew her soft sword from her waist and began fighting the assassin.
"I said, how dare you show your face and embarrass yourself with such an ugly appearance!" With a beautiful sword flourish, the assassin's neck was severed in one stroke, and he was kicked downstairs by Wangyou.
"And you, with such a bizarre appearance, how dare you be an assassin? Are assassins so indiscriminate these days?" With a backhand slash, the assassin whose mask had been removed slit his throat with a sword.
"Master, it's safer over there!" Seeing how capable these people were at killing, Liang Jiugong quickly escorted Kangxi this way, and then he heard Wangyou's mutterings.
"And you, how long has it been since you showered? You stink!" This guy, instead of having his throat slit, was kicked flying. "These shoes are unusable!"
"How did you grow such a long face? But it's quite well-proportioned, so I'll spare your life!" Then, Wangyou kindly dismembered the man's limbs and chin.
"Although you're ugly, you're kind of adorably ugly, so you're actually not bad!"
"Your features are a bit asymmetrical, let me add some!" A punch lands on your face. "Oops, this seems a bit too much. It's okay, I'll add some more!"
Just as the people behind were wondering how to fix it, they saw the pretty girl beat the man until his head was a pig's head. "Oops, I hit too hard, it looks even uglier now, I can't stand it anymore!"
Erhe went from being shocked by his wife's martial arts skills at the beginning, to feeling helpless about her nagging, to finally giving up completely. Being a kept man is actually quite delicious!
Listening to his wife's nagging, Tingyu had grown accustomed to it. Over the years, Wangyou had been holding back her nagging quite a bit, so let her nag on!
After a while, the men from the Five Cities Garrison finally arrived, which made Wangyou sigh in amazement. They really came "fast"; the assassins had almost all been dealt with before they arrived.
"Your Majesty, this servant has arrived late to rescue you. Please forgive me!"
"Your humble servant Erhe greets Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Wangyou gave a perfunctory bow, treating it as if she were visiting the graves of her ancestors.
"Be flat!"
Kangxi quickly regained his composure as a ruler and began to methodically arrange the assassination of the future emperor.
Wangyou never looked up. The reason was simple: Kangxi's appearance was not to her liking. He had a rat's tail, a few faint but unsightly pockmarks on his face, and an ordinary appearance. Wangyou couldn't stand looking at him.
Although she has a certain charm to make up for it, there's nothing she can do. Wangyou is all about looks, and she's afraid that if she looks up, she'll show her disdain. Although she can act, Wangyou usually avoids acting if she can.
A fleeting glimpse allowed Kangxi to see Wangyou's face, and upon hearing Erhe introduce himself, he naturally knew that Wangyou was the cousin he had never met before. A feeling of indescribable emotion welled up in Kangxi's heart, and he glared fiercely at Liang Jiugong.
"Husband, my head hurts!" Wangyou covered her head and collapsed onto Erhe. Erhe noticed that Wangyou's palms were a little hot, so he touched her forehead and found that Wangyou had a fever.
"Your Majesty, my wife has a fever!"
"Go quickly and fetch the imperial physician. Take my cousin back first!" Kangxi hesitated for a long time but couldn't bring himself to say "your wife," so he could only use "cousin" instead.
Erhe nodded, picked up Wangyou, and ran outside. The carriage was already waiting.
Back at the mansion, there was another flurry of activity. The imperial physician who came was Physician He, who often treated Wangyou. He skillfully took her pulse and prescribed medicine.
However, after returning to the palace this time, Physician He was taken to the Qianqing Palace by the eunuchs waiting at the palace gate.
"Your subject He Qingli greets Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
"Get up, tell me how your cousin is feeling?"
"It's the same as always. I can't be too frightened, I can't see ugly people, and I can't stay in crowded places for too long!" He Qingli didn't know why the emperor was asking these questions, but he still answered truthfully.
However, thinking of the lady's appearance, He Qingli couldn't help but lower his head.
"No other symptoms?"
"Madam Tongjia has been frail since childhood, especially unable to attend various banquets. In severe cases, she can't even bear to hear about them, otherwise she will inevitably develop a fever and remain unconscious for at least three days. This time, she probably stayed in a crowded place for too long, which triggered her illness!" He Qingli thought of such a beautiful girl and couldn't help but exaggerate the severity of Wangyou's illness.
"But she knows martial arts, did you know that?"
"I know, it was my suggestion, to help her get better health. But Lady Tongjia is a rare martial arts genius, it's just that her health isn't good. However, I heard that her health improved a lot after she got married some time ago, but I didn't expect her to have a fever again this time!" He Qingli said with some sigh.
"You may leave now!" Kangxi waved his hand, dismissing He Qingli.
"Liang Jiugong, is this what you meant by being inferior to the Imperial Noble Consort!" Kangxi's voice was laced with rage.
"This servant deserves to die!" Liang Jiugong knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He remembered that what he saw on the Xuan paper that day was not like this, but admitting his guilt was the right thing to do.
"Go to my private treasury and select some good medicinal herbs and treasures to send to Erhe and his wife!" Kangxi said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
"This servant obeys the decree!" Liang Jiugong quickly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, wiping away a cold sweat.
He had followed the emperor for so many years and had never seen such a beautiful woman. The three thousand beauties in the harem could not compare to her. Fortunately, she was already married. Such a beautiful and flamboyant woman should not have entered the harem, that big dyeing vat.
Liang Jiugong sighed and quickly went to open the storeroom to pick out some items.
Wangyou, whose soul was currently in the system space, sneezed violently a few times. "I feel like someone is watching me. Duobao, can we not choose this world with bald heads flying everywhere next time? It's too much of an eyesore!"
"Where does the host want to go in the next world?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not the Qing Dynasty. No matter how good-looking you are, you can't escape the typical 'money-rat tail' of the Qing Dynasty!" Wangyou complained speechlessly.
"Alright, don't worry, host, the next world won't be the Qing Dynasty!" Duobao chuckled. "But host, you showed up in front of Emperor Kangxi today, is that alright?"
"It's alright. The Empress Dowager is dying. She was supposed to pass away in January of this year, but she's still alive. However, my people told me that she only has about a month left. She can't take care of me!" Wangyou said confidently.
“Indeed, Kangxi was neither Shunzhi nor Qianlong, and he couldn’t do anything messy during the mourning period!” Duobao nodded in agreement.
