He Sitai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. "I'm just acting on orders. Please, General Xiao, don't make things difficult for me."
"How dare you make things difficult for my wife, and yet you ask me not to make things difficult for a mere commander of the mansion guards?" Xiao Jinghan sneered.
Yi Qing's eyes narrowed into crescent moons with delight. Her Xiao Jinghan was getting more and more domineering.
He Sitai was left speechless. "It's just that the princess suddenly fell ill. We had no choice but to invite Lady Xiao to the mansion. Please forgive me, General Xiao."
"Oh, she's ill." Yi Qing suddenly seemed to understand. Frowning, she said loudly, "What's her illness? It must be very serious if you have to send the mansion guards to invite me. I'm so scared. What if it's some incurable hidden disease and I can't cure it?"
The surrounding commoners heard Yi Qing's words and began to whisper among themselves. Everyone knew that the princess kept male lovers. Maybe she had contracted some unspeakable disease.
"Do you know? I heard that the princess has contracted a strange disease. There are pustules on her face. It's really scary." someone whispered.
"I've heard that too. It's said to be retribution."
"Exactly. She's immoral. It's retribution!"
...
He Sitai felt even more embarrassed. "Lady Xiao, please rest assured. You're just going to the mansion to take a look. The princess..."
He originally wanted to deceive Yi Qing, but halfway through, he dared not. Yi Qing might be easy to deceive, but what about Xiao Jinghan?
Xiao Jinghan was capable of killing.
"Forget it. A doctor should have a kind heart. General, accompany me to take a look." Yi Qing said with a look of helplessness.
"Thank you, Lady Xiao." He Sitai bowed.
Their carriage, escorted by the princess's mansion guards, headed towards the princess's mansion.
"Is this the method you were talking about?" Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but smile.
"I thought that after Qin Qian's incident, the princess would find a way to get treatment. Then I could use this as a condition to make the princess voluntarily cancel the engagement. I didn't expect that the princess was so determined to marry her daughter into the general's mansion." Yi Qing had really underestimated the situation.
"Madam used to treat patients straightforwardly. The forces in the capital are complex. Once it involves the powerful and noble, one small action can have far - reaching consequences."
Yi Qing felt a headache just thinking about it.
The princess had smashed all the things in the room into a mess. Several maids had bruises on their faces. They knelt there, not daring to move.
When Yi Qing entered the room, she saw the princess using a broken porcelain shard to scratch a maid's face. She thought this princess was really perverted. Since her own appearance had been ruined, she was doing such a thing to others.
"The princess has good skills. Will our coming in affect the princess's performance?" Yi Qing said with a smile.
The princess directly threw the blood - stained porcelain shard at Yi Qing. Xiao Jinghan raised his hand to block it.
"It's you. It must be you who ruined me like this." She said as she rushed towards Yi Qing.
Xiao Jinghan jumped aside with Yi Qing in his arms. As a result, Yi Qing was so scared that she clung to Xiao Jinghan like an octopus, almost making Xiao Jinghan fall.
The princess failed to reach Yi Qing and bumped into the doorframe herself. The servants on one side hurriedly tried to support her, but she pushed them all away. She turned to look at Yi Qing. "You'd better cure me, or I'll exterminate your whole family."
"I can't cure you. Let's go." Yi Qing said and was about to leave. Let her go crazy. Her madness would actually be a good thing for the people.
Xiao Jinghan protected Yi Qing and walked out.
"I'd like to see who dares to leave." The princess motioned for the mansion guards to stop them.
"Hold my waist tightly." Xiao Jinghan whispered in Yi Qing's ear, worried that she would cling to him like an octopus again. Although the gesture was not bad, it would affect his movement.
Yi Qing obediently held Xiao Jinghan's waist.
Xiao Jinghan jumped with Yi Qing into the courtyard. He turned to look at those people. "I don't fight with you because I want to spare your lives. If you block us again, I won't be merciful."
The hands of the people holding the swords trembled a little. They really didn't dare to confront the God of War.
Yi Qing still tightly held Xiao Jinghan's waist. The feeling of flying was really great. "Princess, appearance is a reflection of the heart. Your current appearance is due to a problem with your heart. If you continue to be so stubborn, no one can save you. Let's go." She said as she shook Xiao Jinghan's waist.
Xiao Jinghan supported his arms. "Let's go?"
"Fly one more time." Yi Qing looked at Xiao Jinghan with a flattering look.
With that look in her eyes, Xiao Jinghan had no resistance at all. He took her and flew out of the princess's mansion directly.
"A bunch of useless people. A bunch of useless people." The princess started smashing things again.
After leaving the princess's mansion, Xiao Jinghan took Yi Qing to have a meal. After all this commotion, it was already past the meal time. Yi Qing was so hungry that everything tasted delicious.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Yi Qing saw that Xiao Jinghan had been looking at her.
Xiao Jinghan raised his hand to wipe off the sauce from the corner of Yi Qing's mouth and ate it himself. "Doesn't madam know that beautiful scenery can be a feast for the eyes?"
Yi Qing almost choked. This usually cold - faced man was really overwhelming when he flirted. "Hurry up and eat. Didn't you say you were going to the palace?"
"Not going. After what happened in the princess's mansion today, I'm worried that the princess will do something bad to you." Xiao Jinghan didn't care.
"I miscalculated this time. Since the princess knows this has something to do with me, she could just talk to me about the conditions. Why is she causing so much trouble?"
"If she talks to you about the conditions, it means she's compromising. Do you think she'll compromise so easily?"
Yi Qing thought it was too troublesome. "Anyway, I don't care. If she wants to stay ugly, then let her continue to be so arrogant."
"Are you sure no one else can solve it?"
"Absolutely sure." Yi Qing said confidently.
Xiao Jinghan nodded.
The two of them returned to the general's mansion together. Yi Qing went straight to the pharmacy.
Today, the princess had scratched the faces of those maids. If they didn't take good care of them, they would definitely leave scars. This matter was also because of her, and she didn't want to harm the innocent.
Xiao Jinghan sat beside Yi Qing and watched her prepare the medicine. "Since you don't want to harm the innocent, why did you say those things in the princess's mansion?"
"If I cared about those maids, the princess would definitely threaten me with them. Their faces have already been scratched. What's the use of my compromising?"
The more Xiao Jinghan looked at Yi Qing, the more he liked her.
Jushuang hesitated in the corridor for a while before going to report to them. "My lord, my lady, someone from the palace has come." The scene of the general and his lady together was so beautiful that she really didn't have the heart to break it.
"Who?" Yi Qing thought the emperor couldn't be so idle as to come to their house for no reason.
"It's a palace servant beside the emperor. He said it's a reward from the emperor for the lady."
Yi Qing sighed. "Being the emperor is really different. Even giving someone something is called a reward. Let's go and take a look."
Xiao Dezi carefully held the box. This was the emperor's best thousand - year ginseng. The emperor said it was for the general's wife, so he must make Lady Xiao understand the emperor's good intentions.
"Xiao Dezi." Yi Qing saw how carefully Xiao Dezi was holding it. "What kind of reward do you have to hold it personally?"
The hierarchy among the palace servants was extremely strict. A person of Xiao Dezi's level represented the emperor when he came out. Even ordinary ministers had to be polite to him. Now that he was being so respectful, Yi Qing had a bad feeling.
