People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 81, The Summoning of Beauty Hu, Xu Qing Becomes the Thief Xu (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)

After a storm, the sun was already high in the sky.

Xu Qing leaned against the bed, entering a phase of rest and recuperation, but in the end, he couldn't escape Madam Mingzhu's whip.

Fortunately, the Fairy Queen controlled her strength and didn't even break her skin.

Madam Mingzhu's pretty face was flushed with a charming blush. Her small mouth opened and closed slightly as she looked at the marks left by the leather whip on Xu Qing's shoulder with heartache in her eyes.

"Does it hurt?"

The succubus wanted to touch the red mark, but the ordeal had left her with little strength, and she was too lazy to even move a finger.

Xu Qing frowned slightly, her expression indifferent, even showing a hint of annoyance, as she spoke.
"What pain? What man doesn't have scars?"

When Xu Qing was in his upright and saintly state, he spoke with extraordinary firmness.

Faced with Xu Qing's unyielding stance, the trendy girl did not refute him at all, but instead obediently nestled in his arms.

Looking at the succubus in his arms, Xu Qing wrapped his arms around her waist, caressing her delicate skin and letting her soft hair slide through his fingertips.

The trendy girl looked like a little wildcat, with a very enjoyable expression on her face.

How did you break free from the silk?

The succubus drew circles on Xu Qing's chest. She knew very well that even if the imperial guards were bound by their limbs, they would not be able to break free easily without any leverage.

“I am naturally strong, didn’t you feel it just now?” Xu Qing patted Madam Mingzhu’s shapely buttocks.

Chang Wei was born with superhuman strength, capable of killing eighteen members of the Qi family. It's quite normal for him to break free of some silk ribbons.

Thinking of Xu Qing's slap just now, Chao Nu Yao's face flushed slightly, and her plump peaches felt a little itchy. She gently punched Xu Qing twice.

"Okay, whatever you say," the Tide Fairy said softly.
"You just need to offer up your incriminating evidence. Going to Zilan Pavilion is fine, but don't have too much contact with the proprietress."

“You are the Imperial Physician, a person of great status. To be flirting with a brothel owner is to lower your status and will only invite ridicule.”

When a woman makes a kind offer to you, you only need to nod and agree. Whether you need it and whether you follow through is your own business.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Xu Qing nodded and said.

"Things at court aren't something you can simply resolve by offering incriminating evidence. That old bastard, Han Wang An, wants to use you as a pawn, and thus..."

The succubus nestled in Xu Qing's arms, patiently explaining the political situation in the Korean court to him. Relying on her years of experience controlling the government in the Nightfall, she offered Xu Qing advice and strategies.

Xu Qing nodded repeatedly. Although he had guessed Han Wang'an's purpose, he still had no idea what to do next.

"What you need to do now is to navigate between the three of them, but don't get too close to them. You can get to know Zhang Kaidi more, but remember not to get too close to the Crown Prince and Han Yu."

"As for what you've done, as long as it doesn't shake the tripartite balance of power in the court, no one will bother with you."

"As for Liu Yi, the Left Sima, you don't need to worry about him. If he really wants the position of Right Sima, just ask him if he dares to go to the front line."

"If he dares to go, you should agree to it, and someone will handle it afterwards."

The fairy maiden looked at Xu Qing's handsome face and gently stroked it.

"Okay, I've written it down."

Xu Qing hugged the Tide Demon tightly again, then patted her round, perky buttocks before getting up to straighten her clothes.

After tidying his clothes, Xu Qing returned to his previous humble, polite, and respectful demeanor.

"Madam, the Imperial Hospital has urgent matters to attend to. If you are still feeling unwell, please send someone to find me again."

Looking at Xu Qing bowing and greeting her, Chao Nu Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You hypocrite, get out of here!"

"I am resigning."

Xu Qing picked up his medicine box and walked outside. His undershirt accidentally brushed against the whip marks on his shoulder, causing him to frown slightly and subconsciously move his shoulder.

Watching Xu Qing's actions, Chao Nu Yao felt a mix of emotions.

I felt a mix of heartache, pleasure, and even a little anticipation.

As Xu Qing stepped out of the bedroom, she noticed that a maid was secretly watching her.

"Cough cough cough, what are you looking at me for? Go inside and serve the lady!" Xu Qing scolded.

The maid glanced at the well-dressed Xu Qing, and considering that he was now the mistress's man, she could only obsequiously agree.

"The imperial physician requests your safe departure." The maid watched Xu Qing walk away with measured steps, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and curiosity.

"Did her wife go easy on her? It seems like nothing happened to her."

"That's not something I need to worry about."

The maid turned and went into the bedchamber to clean up the mess.

On the other side, just as Xu Qing was about to return to the Imperial Hospital, a familiar, anxious voice called out to him.

"Imperial Physician, you're here! Come with me!"

Xu Qing turned around and saw Ruo Tao running towards him anxiously.

"Miss Ruotao, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Qing asked, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Imperial Physician, the beauty suddenly experienced chest pain this morning, so she sent me to invite you to take her pulse. Please come with me quickly!"

Ruotao took Xu Qing's hand and headed towards Hu Meiren's Palace.

"Heartache?"

Xu Qing thought of Hu Meiren's previous experience of climbing mountains to collect pearls; it was quite soft and hard. Ugh, it really needed some treatment.

"That's right, please come with me."

"Okay, lead the way."

Xu Qing didn't waste any more words and followed Ruo Tao towards Hu Meiren's palace. This was definitely not him being nostalgic for Hu Meiren.

Chest pain is a good thing; it should be taken seriously and treated immediately.

Before long, the two arrived outside Consort Hu's bedchamber.

Xu Qing walked into the bedchamber alone. The curtains on the doors and windows of the bedchamber were slightly open, making the room somewhat dark.

"Beauty?" Xu Qing called out tentatively.

Seeing no response, Xu Qing picked up his medicine box and headed toward Hu Meiren's boudoir. A gentle breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, and the thin curtains fluttered in the wind.

Upon entering the inner room, Xu Qing saw Hu Meiren lying on the bed.

Hu Meiren leaned against the bedside, her head resting on her pale arm. A white gauze draped over her body, and her delicate and charming face was somewhat pale.

Beneath the gauze, her fair skin glowed with an alluring blush. A pink bodice concealed a large expanse of her cleavage, and beneath her pink short skirt, her beautiful legs were crossed and rested on the ground, her delicate little feet encased in white stockings, treading on the smooth floor.

"beauty!?"

Seeing that Hu Meiren didn't react, Xu Qing gently patted her shoulder and whispered...
"beauty!?"

Hu Meiren shrank back in alarm, as if waking from a dream, like a frightened little rabbit.

Turning her head, she saw that it was Xu Qing who had arrived. A hint of surprise flashed in Hu Meiren's beautiful eyes, and a hint of resentment appeared on her pale face. Her red lips moved slightly, as if she were scolding the unfaithful man.

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. Hu Meiren was naturally delicate and charming, and in such a sickly state, she was even more pitiful.

"My beauty, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

Xu Qing helped Hu Meiren up, and Hu Meiren placed one hand on Xu Qing's hand, swaying as she stood up.

"Ah~"

Hu Meiren held her head with one hand, her face pale and weak, her small mouth opening and closing slightly, emitting weak moans.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing suddenly understood why Cao Cao's eyes changed when he met Empress Dowager He in the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and he could also understand why Prime Minister Cao became an adjective from then on.

A glint of light flashed in Hu Meiren's eyes, and she cried out in surprise as she fell into Xu Qing's arms.

In his panic, Xu Qing grabbed Hu Meiren with one arm and sat down on the bed.

Hu Meiren tilted her head slightly to the left and rested it on Xu Qing's neck. Her small mouth opened and closed, exhaling fragrant breaths towards Xu Qing's neck.

She took the opportunity to drape her long, beautiful legs over Xu Qing's thighs, placed one hand on his shoulder, and gently pressed the other hand against her chest.

"Imperial Physician, why are you taking so long to arrive?"

Hu Meiren's voice was plaintive, and her beautiful eyes were full of sorrow, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
