The Prodigal Son

Upon hearing Qin Fumeng's words, Xiao Baoju was momentarily speechless.

Only now did he realize that they had already threatened Ningguo with war!

That's why the grandfather and grandson dared to come and threaten them without any restraint!

What a plan!

They were waiting here all along!

Empress Murong struggled to suppress her anger, her gaze turning cold as she looked at Qin Fumeng. "You are supposed to be a renowned figure throughout the land, yet you threaten me with tomb raiding. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"You're wrong!"

Qin Fumeng sneered, "It's others who want to plunder Murong Dapan's tomb, what does it have to do with me?"

Qin Fumeng was still somewhat ashamed when he said this.

Grave robbing is indeed shameful!

Even when Emperor Xiaowu was fighting so fiercely with the Northern Qi, he did not disturb Murong Dapan's mausoleum.

But in order to cure his grandson's congenital infertility, he had no choice but to bluff Bei Qi.

"I don't think you guys have a clear understanding of the situation yet!"

Qin Yu glanced at the two men and said righteously, "My Qin family would never stoop to tomb raiding! But we can choose to wipe them out, or we can choose to stand by and do nothing!"

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Empress Murong lowered her head and pondered again.

To be honest, she's a little unsure herself now.

She didn't know if there really was such a group of people.

If Qin Yu's words are true, and the Qin family chooses to stand idly by, the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu might really be looted.

This is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.

At that moment, Empress Murong suddenly realized that she had done something extremely stupid.

If she hadn't mentioned that they had a way to cure congenital heart defects, probably nothing would have happened.

She overestimated her own intelligence and underestimated Qin Yu's shamelessness!

After a moment, Empress Murong raised her eyes again: "So, your condition is that we help you cure your congenital meridian deficiency, and you help us wipe out that group of people, right?"

"clever!"

Qin Yu nodded and smiled.

"Can!"

Empress Murong readily agreed, "As long as you hand over those people to us, we will cure your congenital meridian deficiency!"

"That won't do!"

Qin Yu refused without hesitation, "I handed the person over to you, and you still haven't cured me, what are you going to do?"

Empress Murong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "As long as you hand over the person to us, I can heal you tonight!"

She needed to determine whether what Qin Yu said was true or false.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fumeng was immediately excited.

If what this person says is true, that would be wonderful!

"Um?"

Qin Yu looked at Empress Murong in surprise, "Are you from the Lian family?"

They had originally planned to have someone from the Lian family sent by Bei Qi to treat him.

Unexpectedly, Rong Jiu is actually a member of the Lian family?

This is truly an unexpected delight!

"right!"

Empress Murong nodded. "The Lian family changed their surname to Rong many years ago, which is why the Lian family has disappeared!"

Is that so?

Qin Yu was skeptical.

After a moment's thought, Qin Yu shook his head again, refusing: "That won't do either!"

A cold glint flashed in Empress Murong's eyes. "So, there wasn't such a group of people at all, right?"

"That's bullshit!"

Qin Yu glared at her. "You think those people are just sitting in the capital, waiting for us to catch them?"

Empress Murong was speechless.

That... makes sense.

However, she still didn't quite believe Qin Yu's words.

Qin Yu glanced at her expression and continued, "I can only guarantee that as long as you cure my congenital meridians, we will wipe out those people and ensure that Murong Dapan's tomb is not looted!"

"That's easy for you to say!"

Xiao Baoju sneered, "We cured you, and now you've gone back on your word. What are we going to do?"

"I guarantee it with my own reputation!"

Qin Fu chimed in, "Not only will I wipe those people out in one fell swoop, but I will also send troops to guard Murong Dapan's tomb for you!"

Hearing Qin Fumeng's words, Xiao Baoju couldn't help but secretly glance at Empress Murong.

He was unable to make a decision about the current situation.

He couldn't tell whether Qin Yu's words were true or false.

Whether or not to trust Qin Yu is a decision only the Empress can make.

Empress Murong did not respond, but kept weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Curing Qin Yu would not be a problem.

Even if Qin Yu is cured, what kind of trouble can he cause?

Qin Fumeng was once a grandmaster, but wasn't he also knocked down from the grandmaster realm?

However, she felt somewhat unwilling.

I was so easily manipulated by a good-for-nothing playboy!

This was an immense humiliation for her!

After a moment of contemplation, Empress Murong finally made up her mind.

"I can agree!"

Empress Murong stared sharply at Qin Fumeng, "Qin Fumeng, listen to me! If you break your promise, even if we chase you to the ends of the earth, my Northern Qi will ensure that your Qin family line is wiped out!"

In the end, she still didn't dare to gamble, nor was she willing to gamble.

What's wrong with making a compromise once, as long as the safety of the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu can be ensured?

In this lifetime, I will not only recover the lost territories of the Nine Provinces, but also completely annihilate the states of Ning and Yan!

To unify the world!

She refused to believe that one more Qin Yu could stop her!

"rest assured!"

Qin Fumeng automatically ignored Empress Murong's gaze and patted his chest to assure her, "You can ask around; outside the battlefield, when have I ever broken a promise?"

"Okay! I believe you!"

Empress Murong took a deep breath. "I also want to see what kind of trouble the Qin family can stir up even after Qin Yu is cured!"

"You're much more straightforward than that old dog Xiao!"

Qin Fumeng smiled with satisfaction, "But listen to me carefully, I will be here guarding! My grandson is in your care. If anything goes wrong, none of you will leave alive!"

He was still a little uneasy.

This is the only son of the Qin family!

It's fine if it doesn't cure the disease, but if it causes problems, the Qin family line will truly end.

Empress Murong didn't bother to reply, saying indifferently, "He'll be in some pain later, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone while I'm treating him!"

"good!"

Qin Fumeng said no more and left the room.

Xiao Baoju glanced at Empress Murong, then stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then you should treat him properly! I also want to see what Qin Yu will do after he's cured!"

With that, Xiao Baoju called Xiao Hu and they left the room together.

Xiao Hu was unwilling and wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Baoju glared at him fiercely.

Seeing this, Xiao Hu could only swallow back the words that were about to come out, cursing inwardly.

That bastard Qin Yu got off easy!

Soon, only Qin Yu and Empress Murong remained in the room.

I underestimated your shamelessness!

Empress Murong glared at Qin Yu with deep resentment.

"You should thank me!"

Qin Yu grinned, "You guys won't lose out on this deal! When you get back to Bei Qi, your Empress Murong will probably reward you!"

"I hope so!"

Empress Murong concealed the cold glint in her eyes and said calmly, "Take off your upper garment!"

Qin Yu didn't waste any time and started taking off his clothes.

Empress Murong also took out a packet of golden needles and roasted them by the oil lamp in the room.

Qin Yu observed this and secretly harbored suspicions.

Is acupuncture done with gold needles?

If I prick the wrong spot with this thing, won't it cause me some kind of problem?

Thinking this, Qin Yu reminded him again, "You absolutely mustn't tamper with the acupuncture, otherwise even if those people are all caught, my grandfather will still dig up Murong Dapan's tomb."

"I'm not as despicable as you!"

Empress Murong, her face contorted with disgust, tossed Qin Yu a handkerchief. "Cover your face! If I'm disgusted by your face and administer the wrong acupuncture, I won't be responsible!"

Qin Yu curled his lip, "If you're afraid I'll steal your skills, just say so. Why all the fuss!"

"Stealing knowledge?"

Empress Murong scoffed, "If you could endure the pain without crying out, I'd respect you more!"
