PFC Chapter 195 Sister Qingying, aren’t we a family?
Chapter 195 Sister Qingying, aren’t we a family?
"Queen, I want to ask you, what crime should Li Changsheng be punished for killing my brother?"
Seeing that Xiao Yufei didn't respond, Jiang Nanfeng took advantage of the situation and shouted at her angrily.
Concubine Xiao Yu calmed down a bit and replied without giving in: "Empress Dowager, Li Changsheng is a eunuch and is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Internal Guard!"
"If he is truly guilty, he should obey His Majesty's judgment!"
When Jiang Nanfeng met Concubine Xiao Yufei, she first brought up her natal family's power, and now she brought up the little emperor.
This instantly made her furious.
Thinking of what my brother had just said, the balance in my heart began to waver.
Just when Jiang Nanfeng was about to explode, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside, which made her even more annoyed.
"What happened outside the palace?"
A young eunuch hurried over to report, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the commander of the Imperial City Bureau, Qingying, and Chief Steward Jin are fighting outside the palace!"
Jiang Nanfeng glanced at Xiao Yufei and laughed out of anger.
"Haha, Queen, are you guys teaming up to put pressure on me?"
Xiao Yufei was also confused and said, "I dare not, I absolutely did not mean that. This may just be a coincidence!"
Jiang Nanfeng sneered coldly: "Haha, what a coincidence!"
"Since you want to save this damned eunuch Li Changsheng, I will grant your wish!"
"Come here, pass on my imperial decree, asking Miss Jin to release the man!"
After giving orders to her eunuchs, she looked at Concubine Xiao Yu again.
"Queen, are you satisfied now?"
Seeing that she had achieved the purpose of her trip, Xiao Yufei did not stay any longer.
She bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. I will take my leave now and will not disturb your rest!"
After Xiao Yufei left, Jiang Nanfeng's pretty face instantly turned as cold as frost. She slammed her palm on the table, shaking the jade porcelain cup on it into powder on the spot.
"Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
……
It turned out that just when Concubine Xiao Yu had just entered Kunning Palace and paid her respects to the Queen Mother.
Qingying was worried about Li Changsheng's safety, so she rushed over.
Jin Jiuling didn't even give face to Queen Xiao Yufei.
What’s more, it’s Qingying.
The two of them started fighting after a disagreement.
Although Jin Jiuling is not too old, she is only about forty years old.
However, he took a shortcut in cultivation by relying on the ruthlessness he showed when he castrated himself twenty years ago.
Today, he has already become a genuine heavenly-level grandmaster.
Moreover, the "Chrysanthemum Manual" that she practiced was extremely evil and strange, like a ghost, making it impossible to guard against it.
As for Qingying, she is still half a step away from becoming a Heavenly Grandmaster.
In terms of moves, he didn't gain any advantage.
Therefore, after only a few confrontations.
She was already at a disadvantage.
However, she has the ancient divine weapon, the Chengying Sword, in her hand.
The power of this magic weapon made Jin Jiuling very wary and he did not dare to attack rashly.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Empress Xiao Yufei walked out of Kunning Palace.
"The Queen Mother has ordered the Imperial City Division to take Li Changsheng away!"
After hearing the Queen Mother's instructions, Jin Jiuling made a feint and quickly distanced himself from Qingying.
She stared at the magic weapon in Qingying's hand with a feminine gaze, and said with a forced smile:
"Qingying, you're lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!"
Qingying was horrified by the stare of this dead demon, but she was not willing to be outdone and retorted coldly.
"Boss Jin, if you commit a crime in my hands, I will definitely use this Chengying Sword to chop off your head!"
Jin Jiuling shouted angrily, "Then we'll just wait and see!"
……
When Concubine Xiao Yu recalled the conversation she had just had with Empress Dowager Jiang Nanfeng, her eyes widened and she glared at Li Changsheng fiercely.
"Little Li, you've really become something now. You even dared to kill the Queen Mother's brothers!"
Li Changsheng lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have the guts to do that. These are all orders from His Majesty, I dare not disobey!"
Concubine Xiao Yu was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you kill Jiang Kuanghu for no reason?"
Li Changsheng spread his hands and said, "I don't know the specific reason. Maybe they think Jiang Kuanghu is too suicidal!"
"That guy is usually corrupt and abuses his power, but this time he even dared to embezzle the pensions of fallen soldiers."
"When the families went to demand the money back, he not only refused to return it, but also openly attacked people in the street, slaughtering hundreds of people on the spot. The corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river..."
After hearing Li Changsheng's description, Xiao Yufei's brows were tightly furrowed.
"Then this Jiang Kuanghu is indeed guilty of a thousand deaths. Well done for killing him!"
When Qingying saw Li Changsheng and how he had tricked Queen Xiao Yufei, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
However, she did not step forward to expose it.
After all, what Li Changsheng said was basically true, except that his words were slightly exaggerated.
"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen. I will take Li Changsheng back to the inner prison first!"
Xiao Yufei pointed at Li Changsheng's bloody buttocks.
"He's been badly injured. Shouldn't he go to the Imperial Hospital first to get some medicine?"
Qingying said, "There is a doctor in the Imperial City Prison who will treat Eunuch Li's injuries."
Concubine Xiao Yu felt relieved when she heard Qingying say in person that she would treat Li Changsheng's injuries.
"Little Li, didn't you say that the general had a message for me? When you recover from your injury, remember to come to Ganquan Palace!"
Although she said this to Li Changsheng on the surface.
But in fact, it revealed a piece of information to Qingying.
My Xiao family will protect this little Leo's life!
Li Changsheng glanced at Qingying out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that her expression remained the same and there was no sign of emotion, he nodded repeatedly at Xiao Yufei.
"Your Majesty, I've made a note of this. As soon as I recover from my injuries, I will definitely go to Ganquan Palace to pay my respects to you!"
After watching Xiao Yufei leave, Qingying sneered coldly.
"Haha, Li Changsheng, you don't think that the inner prison of our Imperial City Division is like your own home, where you can come and go as you please, right?"
"Sister Qingying, the inner prison is your territory, and we are a family."
"In that case, wouldn't the inner prison be my home?"
Qingying: "???"
"Who are you from? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."
She was so angry that she picked up the scabbard and slapped him on the butt, neither too hard nor too light.
"Ouch!"
Li Changsheng felt a piercing pain and immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Imperial City Division, Inner Prison
When General Qin Yun saw Li Changsheng, who had really gone out vertically and returned horizontally, he quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Commander-in-Chief, this Li Changsheng..."
Qingying said coldly with a blank expression, "He was just punished with a cane, but he won't die for now!"
Having said that, she glanced at Li Changsheng's bloody butt out of the corner of her eye, feeling a little sorry.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for a doctor to come over. Don't let him die in the inner prison. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the higher-ups!"
Qingying gave Li Changsheng a few more instructions and then left the inner prison.
Li Changsheng glanced sideways at his bloody buttocks.
In fact, he looked seriously injured.
But in reality, they were all just superficial injuries.
According to his current level of cultivation, ordinary beatings with a stick can basically only cause some superficial injuries and cannot damage his foundation at all.
Even if we don't need to call a royal physician, based on his physical condition and self-healing ability.
I estimate that it will be back to normal in less than three to five days.
Of course, sometimes you have to pretend.
It is also a good opportunity to hide in this inner prison and wait and see what happens.
Look at the three major forces in the court, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Xiao family, how should they play the game next?
Just as Li Changsheng was thinking about something, a pungent smell of alcohol suddenly came over.
He came to his senses and subconsciously looked up.
Seeing a familiar figure appear in front of him, his expression couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Thank you, Doctor. Why are you here?"
