Chapter 38: She is useful to me
"Xie Chengyu, can you do it?!"

Sonorous!

With the exciting sound of swords colliding, the white space was suddenly cut by a sharp cold light in front of Shen Qingtang's eyes.

Before she had time to think about who 'Xie Chengyu' was, she saw a dashing woman in a red outfit, riding an extremely majestic divine horse, galloping towards her at the speed of thunder.

Ah!
She is dying!

Help!

Shen Qingtang's heart was in his throat.

The horse came with great force and its cry was like thunder. Fear spread in her heart and instantly submerged her like a surging tide.

She's gone!
"Uu——"

Just as Shen Qingtang lay down with her eyes closed, a crisp sound of a horse being reined in came briskly above her head.

She opened her eyes and met a pair of big brown eyes with long, watery eyelashes, but——

Where am I?
In this clear and bright eye, Shen Qingtang did not find his own shadow...

It was not until a piece of red clothing brushed past his eyes that Shen Qingtang slowly remembered that he was in a non-human state.

She thought that it must be because she had no brains now that she was so stupid.

But even so, the visual shock that the horse brought to her still lingers in her heart for a long time and is unforgettable.

——But who is Xie Chengyu?

It sounds strangely familiar.

As soon as Shen Qingtang withdrew her gaze from the horse's eye, she heard a familiar cold and arrogant voice, sounding unhappily behind her.

"Xie Chengyu, don't you know that swords have no eyes? Or do you want me to be drowned by the spit of the Censorate?"

...Is this the precious concubine?

Shen Qingtang turned around in surprise and saw Concubine Zhengui swiftly dismounting from her horse. She strode up to a man with a silver mask on his face. Without saying a word, she punched the man's solid and broad chest twice.

"Why did you get distracted for no reason?" Concubine Zhengui frowned. "Forget it. As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. No matter what your situation is, I won today. You can't go back on your promise to me!"

This is a martial arts training ground.

In the center of the field, in addition to two black and red horses, there is the dashing concubine Zhengui in red and the mysterious man with a silver mask on his face and a cold temperament.

Relying on his unique advantage, Shen Qingtang walked past Concubine Zhengui and carefully observed the mysterious man who was fighting with Concubine Zhengui.

The mask was half, covering the entire face above the nose, while the lower half of the face revealed outside the mask had clear lines as if carved by a knife, and the thin lips tightly pursed under the high nose bridge showed the coldness and ruthlessness that she was familiar with.

...Xie Chengyu?

In a flash, what Concubine Zhengui had just said was like a bolt of lightning that struck Shen Qingtang.

The spit of the Censorate?!
Who did Concubine Zhengui hurt to be scolded by the Censorate? It was naturally——

Just as the word "Emperor" jumped into Shen Qingtang's mind, a man's deep and mellow voice suddenly came coldly from his thin lips.

“Didn’t you notice that someone was watching you from behind?” Emperor Yu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze like an eagle slowly swept around.

That look was so blatant, like——

thump!
Shen Qingtang's heart skipped a beat. Those eyes, as deep as a cold pond, actually met her gaze without any obstacles!
Is his intuition so sharp? !

Shen Qingtang subconsciously waved in front of Emperor Yu Ji. He couldn't see it, but the aura and pressure from him became more dangerous and sharp.

"Spying?" Concubine Zhengui turned her head and looked around, then shook her head and said, "You are feeling wrong, right?" "This is the Dragon Shadow Guard's secret camp. My brother cleared it out when he came here. There will be no one hiding in it against orders."

"Someone!" Emperor Yu Ji's mouth was tightly pursed into a straight line.

Shen Qingtang expressed his absolute affirmation of his sharp intuition.

It's me! Your noble lady!

Shen Qingtang, who couldn't figure out whether he was a human or a ghost, was entertaining himself to relieve his uneasiness when a black shadow suddenly flashed quietly like a ghost.

Before Shen Qingtang could react, a secret guard, who was covered in black and only showed a pair of eyes, suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Yuji.

"A letter came from the palace, saying that Concubine Shu is critically ill."

Without waiting for Emperor Yuji to speak, Concubine Zhengui spoke first.

"When did this happen?"

The secret guard lowered his head slightly, "Si time."

"Please step back first."

Emperor Yu Ji waved his hand indifferently, and the secret guard jumped a few times and disappeared from Shen Qingtang's sight in the blink of an eye.

After a moment of silence, Concubine Zhengui looked at Emperor Yuji with a slightly complicated gaze. She couldn't see the expression under the mask, but she could tell from his tense jawline that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

"Everyone says that I, Jiang Mingyue, am a favorite concubine, but who knows that you are the one who truly treats her differently—" Concubine Zhengui paused, and suddenly leaned forward to look directly into the deep phoenix eyes of Emperor Yuji, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with her?"

As she spoke, Concubine Zhengui smacked her lips in an odd manner under the cold gaze of Emperor Yuji.

"Don't mention it. For a beauty like Concubine Shu, I would be very moved if it were me, not to mention you. If you really don't care, don't blame me for abducting you out of the palace in the future..."

Listening to her increasingly outrageous words, not to mention Shen Qingtang himself, even the cool guy Yu Jidi, who always had a stern face, felt a little helpless.

"No, she is useful to me!"

I don’t know what Concubine Zhengui was thinking about. She glanced at Emperor Yuji and showed an expression that showed she understood everything.

"The woman who has been useful to you is now in critical condition. May I ask Your Majesty if you will return to the palace to offer your warmth?"

……

When Shen Qingtang followed Emperor Yuji as a wandering soul, the Fanghua Palace in the Forbidden City was already in a panic.

Shi Liu, who had just finished cooking the medicine outside, entered Fanghua Palace with the thick medicine juice when she saw An Lan bringing out a small basin of blood from the bedroom. The sight of the bright red blood made her face turn pale.

She stumbled and said, "This, this basin of blood, could it be, could it be the young master's?"

"The young lady has a high fever and Doctor Zhang has used bloodletting to reduce the fever." An Lan nodded, glanced at the medicine in Shi Liu's hand, and urged: "Just now Doctor Zhang asked if the medicine was ready. Bring it in quickly, don't delay the treatment."

"Yeah, okay, I'll go in right away."

As Shi Liu said this, he quickly picked up the medicine bowl and walked quickly inside.

"Doctor Zhang, can you give this medicine to the young lady now?"

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Shi Liu saw Doctor Zhang wiping and putting away the silver needle after bloodletting. She leaned over to glance at Shen Qingtang, who was still unconscious, with a look of worry that was hard to conceal on her face.

"Doctor Zhang, is my young master feeling better now? When will she wake up?"

As Shi Liu kept asking questions, Doctor Zhang was about to repeat to Shi Liu what he had just said to the others when suddenly a sound of footsteps came from outside.

"Is your young master getting better?"
