Chapter 63 Can I Want Anything?

"The little prince is not even one year old yet. As an uncle, you are already thinking about how to be a relative who wields power."

Emperor Jianxi's voice was very gentle, as if he was saying that it is raining today, so it is so common to go out with an umbrella.

Qu Xiu tried his best to lower his head and beg for mercy, but the sound of "Your Majesty—" just got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak or move.

The rain outside was mixed with the wind, and it suddenly became heavier.

The windows on all sides roared, and the palace people hurried forward to lower the shutters.

The long wind poured into Emperor Jianxi's two-sleeved toga, which looked like a fairy, but the coldness in his voice was even more shocking than Yan Luo.

"In front of the sky, Qu Xiu." Emperor Jianxi whispered, "I ask you, which way do you Qu family want to go?"

Qu Xiu's face was already bloodless, but now it became even paler.

Qu Xiu: "I... I dare not have other hopes in my heart!"

"Master Qu, where is Mrs. Qu?" Emperor Jianxi asked.

Qu Xiu was speechless, so he kowtowed vigorously and cried, "Your Majesty! My father was cautious all his life, and my mother is such a staunch and loyal woman! If you ask them such words, don't you want them to show their will with death!"

This heart-piercing justification didn't even make Emperor Jianxi frown.

It is as if a stone is thrown into the abyss, and there is no echo for a long time.

The room fell silent until Emperor Jianxi called faintly, "Huang Chongde."

"The servant is here."

Emperor Jianxi looked at Qu Xiu who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered, "Take Qu Xiu back, and in front of Qu's family, pass on the words I asked just now to Qu's family, and let them give me a piece of paper in person. Answer."

The word "personally" is accented.

Huang Chongde lowered his eyes slightly, the emperor is going to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

"Yes." Huang Chongde replied as before, without the slightest turmoil in his tone.

Emperor Jianxi sneered, "Mrs. Qu is a person who has seen big scenes, and she will not show her ambition with death."

Qu Xiu's face turned red instantly.

Emperor Jianxi said again, "In the future, if it is not summoned, the Qu family will not have to come to Chengqian Palace again; all their family letters have been collected so far, and I will go through it myself."

"Yes." Huang Chongde nodded, "Do you want to stop the daily communication between the imperial concubine and her mother's family?"

"Stop what, continue to pass on." Emperor Jianxi said coldly, "From now on, every day from now on, a copy of the family letter will be sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Yes." Huang Chongde said.

"As for you," Emperor Jianxi looked at Qu Xiu coldly, "I don't feel at ease if someone like you manages the meals in the palace. Take off your official clothes and go home and reflect on yourself."

Qu Xiu trembled and closed his eyes, knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

After hearing this series of instructions, everyone present shuddered.

This Chengqian Palace seems to be about to change.

Not long after, the imperial physicians prescribe a prescription together, explain a few precautions for recuperation, and then leave first.

Huang Chongde also led Qu Xiu out. It was raining heavily outside, and Qu Xiu stumbled, not as steady as Huang Chongde who was beside him.

Bo Ling stood there watching Qu Xiu leave, but at this moment she had no energy to think about other things, only felt that her limbs were very tired, and she urgently needed to find a place to lie down.

But Emperor Jianxi obviously didn't finish his words.

"The imperial concubine wants her child to be with Concubine Ning, so she should put it with Concubine Ning." Emperor Jianxi said, "Her child will always be her child, and will not become a child just because she has been in Xianfu Palace for a year or a half. Concubine Ning's child."

The palace people in the room all responded timidly, "Yes."

Emperor Jianxi sighed very lightly, and his eyes fell on Bai Ling in the corner again.

He had already listened to Bao Yuan and Zheng Shu explain what happened on the palace wall today.

If it weren't for Bai Ling, the imperial concubine would have passed away today.

Even thinking about it now, Emperor Jianxi was slightly afraid of this incident.

Everyone looked at Bo Ling from the corner of their eyes, with both fear and envy in their hearts - in this palace, sometimes dangers and opportunities are just a matter of a second thought, and someone will be lost for it, and someone will be able to thrive because of it.

Now... Bo Ling is about to receive a heavy reward, everyone is thinking about it.

As expected, Emperor Jianxi walked up to Bo Ling again, leaning slightly, his voice still as calm as before.

"You really think I can't kill you?"

Everyone quickly retracted their sights and lay down lower than before.No one expected how Emperor Jianxi would ask such a question at this time.The wrath of the Son of Heaven, sometimes it is bleeding thousands of dead bodies for thousands of miles... Sometimes it is hearing thunder in a silent place.

People can't figure out the situation anymore, they can only close their eyes and ears, and don't listen or think about anything.

Then pray that things don't get messed up again.

Bai Ling seemed to have the same expression, she bent down and kowtowed, and replied in a low voice, "If you want to take my life, there are [-] ways to achieve your goal. Is there any king in the world, as long as I am still in this world, my life is at stake. In the hands of the Holy Master, the Emperor naturally knows this best."

"But I had to say that at the time, Your Majesty." Although Bo Ling's voice was tired, he was still calm. "After all, the time was too urgent, and I didn't have time to entangle with my mother about my motives for entering the palace. Besides, even if In this way, everything I said at that time was also true, and there was absolutely no deception in the slightest. If you don’t believe me, the emperor can send someone to look up the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.”

Emperor Jianxi snorted.

He looked down at Bai Ling, and after listening to this explanation, Emperor Jianxi realized that the set of threats he wanted to bring out just now might not be useful.

The stick, which originally wanted to fall down and beat it, suddenly appeared for no reason.

Emperor Jianxi smiled angrily.

Everyone looked at the laughing Emperor Jianxi, and felt more and more terrifying in their hearts.Otherwise, companions are like companions to tigers, no one really knows the pulse of Lord Long Live.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on everyone's back.

"You are meritorious, please receive the reward." Emperor Jianxi said suddenly, his voice was cold, "What do you want?"

At this moment, everyone's hearts really fell.Qu Xiu was punished just now, and now he wants to reward Bai Ling. After all, the emperor acted as if he punished and rewarded.

This more or less shows that the tone of this matter should be set, everything ends here, and there will be no other endless entanglements.

Otherwise, even if the new pharmacist could survive, they wouldn't be able to survive.

Just when the palace people in Chengqian Palace breathed a sigh of relief and thought that this test had passed, Bai Ling also raised his head.

"My lord, can I ask for anything?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their throats in one breath!
What kind of desperate medicine is this!

What can she want and what can't she don't know in her mind?
When is this a bargain at the vegetable market?

Emperor Jianxi also took one more look at Bai Ling. At this time, the words he was used to hearing should be "this is the duty of a servant", "the minister is terrified", or at least "thank you for your kindness".

What does it mean—"Can I ask for anything?"
