Chapter 134 Taking Qiao Chengwang Away
Looking at the sweaty Qiao Xi, the emperor frowned, "Why are you so foolish? Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"
"The subject feels uncomfortable."
Qiao Xi lowered her head. "I feel so useless. I never doubted my mother's death. I also failed to complete the task Your Majesty assigned to me. Your Majesty, please punish me."
The emperor looked at her.
Wang Yuan is a cruel person. If he wants Qiao Xi dead, he will definitely try every possible means to take her life.
Qiao Xi can't survive.
Why would he punish her?
It was a waste of his previous efforts to arrange for the Zhou family to be with her.
However, given Su Heting's feelings for Qiao Xi, even if Qiao Xi died, he would still treat the Zhou family well, and the Zhou family could still become spies to follow Su Heting in the future.
This way, it’s not all in vain.
The emperor sighed.
After all, this was a chess piece that he had painstakingly cultivated. Deep down in his heart, the emperor was reluctant to destroy this chess piece.
But now, Cao Ying is no longer able to develop medicine to suppress Qiao Xi's memory, Qiao's mother's death has been revealed again, and Wang Yuan is also threatening him, so Qiao Xi has no choice but to die.
Thinking that she was about to die, the emperor's tone softened. "You were only six years old at the time, and even I didn't notice it. If you say you are incompetent, then I am even more incompetent."
Qiao Xi fell silent again.
A moment later, a eunuch came with a message, "Your Majesty, the King of Jiangbei has come to the palace to take the princess back home."
Qiao Xi's face was filled with disgust. Without waiting for the emperor to say anything, she turned and ran, "Your Majesty, you promised me that I would stay home tonight."
She compared the palace to her mother's home.
The emperor watched her quickly disappearing figure and had no choice but to go see Su Heting in person. "She's in a bad mood today, so let her stay in Linghua Pavilion for one night."
"Then I will go to Linghua Pavilion to accompany her."
After saying that, he walked towards Linghua Pavilion.
"return."
The emperor stopped him in his tracks and said, "A woman wants to be alone, why are you, a grown man, so clingy?"
For some reason, he always felt uneasy about letting Su Heting live in the palace.
Su Heting looked bewildered. "I'm her husband. She's in a bad mood, and I feel sorry for her. Isn't it my duty to accompany her?"
The emperor was speechless.
No wonder Qiao Xi refused to go back today. It was really suffocating to be pestered by someone she didn't like.
Looking at Su Heting who didn't understand romance, the emperor was too lazy to explain to him and said, "Go back today and come back to pick her up tomorrow."
Seeing his unquestionable look, Su Heting grumbled, "Whose father are you anyway? Why are you partial to Xi'er and not me?"
The emperor suddenly felt that Su Heting was too idle.
He should arrange something for Su Heting to do, otherwise a grown man would spend all his time thinking about women.
But on second thought, capturing Su Heting's heart is the task he gave to Qiao Xipai.
Qiao Xi did it.
Thinking of this, he sent Su Heting away and asked Eunuch Wu, "Where is Qiao Xi now?"
Eunuch Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "He's gone to the secret factory again."
After a while, the head of the dark factory came in person, with a sad face, "Your Majesty, please let her rest.
No one challenged her, so she used her inner strength to attack randomly, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, with endless energy. If she continued to attack, the dark factory would be demolished."
Qiao Xi has medicine in her body and her internal strength is very strong, so the secret factory really can't withstand her dismantling.
The emperor didn't expect Qiao Xi to make such a fuss, so he had to ask Eunuch Wu to make another trip.
Qiao Xi was brought back again. He had none of the majesty he had just had in the secret factory, and his shoulders were drooping.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I have vented the frustration in my heart. I will not make trouble again."
The emperor saw that she was covered in dust and her head scarf was covered in dust, which must have been caused by the dust from the collapsed wall.
Too lazy to think about what had become of the secret factory, the emperor pressed his brows and said, "Alright, go wash up. You will pay for the repairs to the secret factory later."
Qiao Xi said "oh" and returned to Linghua Pavilion.
Looks very well-behaved.
At dinner time, just as the emperor picked up his chopsticks, Qiao Xi came again, looking pitiful, "Your servant doesn't want to be alone, your servant wants to have dinner with you."
She was very clingy today, just like a child who was in a bad mood and liked to stay close to her elders.
The emperor has gotten used to acting over the years, so if she wants to eat with him, then let them eat together.
But Qiao Xi didn’t have a good appetite for this meal, and she felt listless.
But she still remembered that she watched closely and did not allow the emperor to touch the candied sweet potatoes. Eunuch Wu just picked up a piece for the emperor, and she took the whole plate away.
The emperor's face darkened. Before he could say anything, Qiao Xi burst into tears. "You are the only one I have left."
Qiao Xi was worried about his health.
The emperor wanted to scold, but he couldn't say anything.
After the meal, Qiao Xi followed the emperor again. When the emperor went to the imperial study, she followed him quietly and obediently without saying a word. When the emperor went to the imperial garden to digest his food, she also followed him.
The emperor walked into the imperial concubine's palace and she followed him.
The emperor laughed angrily, "I'm going to the Imperial Concubine's Palace to rest, are you going to follow me?"
Qiao Xi seemed to have just come to her senses and looked at the sky. "Oh, then I'll go back. You should also go to bed early."
When the emperor saw her like this, he remembered that she was like this when she first entered the palace, but at that time she always followed the prince.
At that time, he felt that it was delaying the prince's studies, but the queen said, "That child has a miserable life. He suddenly lost his family and came to this unfamiliar palace. He must feel insecure.
Your Majesty, please let her follow. Yu'er knows what she is doing and her studies will not be affected."
Just as he was thinking of the queen, a dark shadow suddenly appeared before him. The emperor was so startled that he almost cried out, "What's the matter?"
Why is he walking so silently? He's like a ghost, so scary. If the emperor really wants to maintain his imperial dignity, he really wants to pat his chest.
Qiao Xi said quietly, "I still can't sleep. Can I go and beat Cao Ying up?"
"Hasn't it been enough after making so much trouble in the dark factory?"
The emperor didn't feel sorry for Cao Ying, he was just afraid that Cao Ying couldn't stand the beating.
Qiao Xi pondered, "I always feel that Cao Ying is not truly loyal to Your Majesty. When I was in the northern part of the border, she secretly sent people from the secret factory to kill me.
Qi Niang is also her person, and Lin Yuanbo used to have a good relationship with her. Maybe many people in the secret factory and even in the palace have been bribed by her.
It doesn't matter if she deals with me, I can fight back. I am worried that she has done something without telling Your Majesty.
The people in the Dark Factory are your Majesty's eyes and hands, but if these eyes and hands are bribed by her, then what your Majesty can see and what he can accomplish will all be decided by her, Cao Ying. Just thinking about it makes me angry."
Qiao Xi clenched her fists and said, "I just want to beat her up when I'm angry."
The emperor was shocked, "Qiao Xi, do you know what you are saying?"
Qiao Xi lowered her head and said, "I know, it was my fault, but I'm really afraid that you'll get hurt."
She seemed to care particularly about the emperor today. Perhaps it was true as she said, that he was her only relative left. So, out of worry about the emperor, or out of indignation for the emperor, she was so bold as to provoke and report Cao Ying.
Qiao Xi lowered her head even more. "I know I shouldn't say that to her. I was wrong."
Seeing her like this, the emperor waved his hand.
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Qiao Xi asked stubbornly, "Can a minister hit her?"
The emperor had been pestered by her all day and had lost his patience. "Beat her, beat her, but don't kill her."
In his heart, he was thinking about what Qiao Xi said.
He has been looking for the whereabouts of the ghost army and the queen for years, but there is still no clue. He wonders if Cao Ying has done something about it.
Cao Ying was the one who least wanted the queen to return to the palace.
After sowing some seeds of doubt in the emperor's mind, Qiao Xi turned her head to look at the emperor at the corner. Seeing that he was still standing there, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
She actually went to the Ministry of Punishment and beat up the man who was already dying.
She only stopped when someone from the Ministry of Punishment stopped her.
After beating the man, Qiao Xi returned to Linghua Pavilion and went to bed early.
However, the emperor couldn't sleep because of what Qiao Xi said. When it was time to go to court, he got up without Eunuch Wu calling him.
While changing clothes, he ordered, "Tell the Ministry of Punishment to use some real skills and interrogate Cao Ying thoroughly."
He had a terrible thought last night that Cao Ying was that person's man.
If this is true, then he has been deceived badly over the years, so he must get the truth from Cao Ying today.
But before he left the court, he heard Eunuch Wu's anxious look.
Eunuch Wu whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, this is bad. Cao Ying has escaped and taken Qiao Chengwang with him."
