Chapter 196 Reunion of old friends
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Qi Min'er's gaze stayed on Doctor Qi's face. A complex light flashed in her eyes. She stroked her swollen eye sockets and immediately looked at Doctor Qi and said calmly:
"It is said that ignorance is not a crime. You are new here, so it is normal for you to get lost in the palace. However, the palace is different from other places. Outsiders are not allowed to stay here at will. This time, I will forgive you because you are the princess's teacher and have taken good care of her all the way.
I'll have someone escort you out of the palace in a moment. Since you have no place to stay now, you can stay at the Qi Mansion for the time being. When the emperor summons you, he will naturally issue an order for you. Just wait patiently!"
Hearing Qi Min'er's words, Doctor Qi's eyes tightened, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it in the end. He immediately bowed and thanked her:
"The Imperial Concubine's arrangement is naturally very appropriate. I have long heard that the Protector General's mansion is full of heroes and brave men. Now I am honored to be able to live in the Protector General's mansion. I thank the Imperial Concubine for her grace!"
Qi Min'er suppressed the heaviness in her eyes, glanced at Doctor Qi who was bowing, then looked at the senior palace maid Cui Xin beside her and said:
"You must personally escort Doctor Qi over. Doctor Qi is the princess's teacher. You must treat him well and not slack off in the slightest. You must make all the necessary arrangements before returning. Do you understand?"
Seeing Qi Min'er acting so abnormally, Cui Xin was very confused. After all, even if Doctor Qi was the princess's master, he would naturally be arranged by a special person.
Now the emperor is only concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but has let the people below take advantage of the loopholes. Such blatant laziness is really hateful.
As a female member of the palace, the Imperial Concubine was not only offended by a quack doctor from outside, but now she even arranged for him to stay in the Qi Mansion.
Even she couldn't swallow this breath. She didn't expect that the imperial concubine didn't get angry. Instead, she emphasized so many times that the so-called master of Her Royal Highness the Princess should be taken good care of. Her behavior was really incredible.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Cui Xin couldn't help but look towards Doctor Qi. She wanted to see what kind of sacred person was able to make the Imperial Concubine look at him with her eyes.
But she couldn't see the difference between Doctor Qi and thought Qi Min'er was just trying to please Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Seeing Doctor Qi leaving with Cui Xin, Qi Min'er could not help but clench her fists tightly to suppress her uncontrollable heart. Her relatives were right in front of her, but she could not recognize them. This feeling really made her very depressed.
However, even though her desire to recognize him had reached its peak, she did not show any eagerness. The palace was crowded with people and it was not a good place for them to recognize each other. Now that they had arranged for him to stay in their house, there was no need to worry about them not having the opportunity to recognize each other.
Cui Wei looked at Qi Min's worried expression and could not help but step forward to support her. She looked at her and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is seriously injured. Would Your Majesty like to go and visit him?"
Listening to Cui Wei's words, Qi Min'er's eyes darkened. She glanced in the direction of Nangong Junze's palace, and then said with a gloomy look:
"No, he won't die for a while anyway, so why would I bother to bring bad luck to him? After he dies, it won't be too late for me to see him off!"
After Qi Min'er finished speaking, she led everyone directly towards the bedroom. Too many things had happened today, and she needed to think carefully so that she could make the most accurate decision. She had worked so hard to plan until now, and it was absolutely impossible for her to fail because of a small matter.
At this time, Doctor Qi followed Cui Xin to the residence of the Great Protector of the Nation. Seeing that the gate of the former residence had become dim and deserted, it no longer matched the glory of the past. Doctor Qi stood in front of it and hesitated to go in.
Cui Xin looked at Doctor Qi who was so stubborn, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. However, thinking of Qi Min'er's instructions, Cui Xin still looked at Doctor Qi patiently and said, "Doctor Qi, we are here, please come in quickly!"
After listening to Cui Xin's words, Doctor Qi turned around and looked at her. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Doctor Qi walked over.
Seeing the strange man in front of her, Cui Xin immediately became alert. She wanted to take him to the guest room, but she didn't expect that Doctor Qi had already come to the Third Young Master's courtyard. Cui Xin's heart tightened immediately. She hurriedly stood in front of Doctor Qi, blocking his way. She looked at him seriously and said:
"Please move to the guest room, Doctor Qi. This is not a place where you can look around casually."
Doctor Qi looked down at Cui Xin, who was full of anger, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. However, he did not continue to pester her, but turned around and went to the guest room.
Cui Xin looked at him so familiar with the place, and her eyes were full of doubts. Why did she feel that Doctor Qi in front of her was more familiar with this place than she was? Doctor Qi was so unusual, it seemed that she had to report it to the Imperial Concubine.
After settling Doctor Qi, Cui Xin rushed to the palace without stopping. As soon as she left, she didn't know that Doctor Qi had directly entered the courtyard where he used to live. After making sure that there was no one around, Doctor Qi walked straight towards his secret base.
What happened in Nanmo Kingdom naturally did not alarm anyone, and the news that Nangong Junze had safely arrived in Nanmo Kingdom was also delivered to Emperor Shunqing in a timely manner.
Looking at the letter sent by Nangong Mo, Emperor Shunqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked Eunuch An to open the letter.
Eunuch An looked at the letter handed over by Emperor Shunqing, took it with both hands, and then carefully opened the letter and handed it to Emperor Shunqing respectfully.
Although Emperor Shunqing did not mention the matter of Prince Nangong during this period, he had been with the emperor for so long that he could guess a little about the emperor's thoughts. Although the emperor did not say it, he still hoped that Nangong Mo could be better, but he would not mention it to Nangong Mo.
Regardless of whether he would believe it or not, even if a civil war broke out in Nanmo Kingdom, no matter who would vie for the throne, it would be a hundred benefits for them and no harm at all. However, if this happened, who knows how many innocent people would be killed. Naturally, he couldn't bear it. He had been serving the emperor for so long, so he naturally knew his thoughts well. The emperor could be said to have contributed his entire life to the country, except that he owed something to Queen Xie.
