Chapter 36: Love and Hate
"People with a heart will find everything dirty and filthy."
In Xie Yaoqing's opinion, it was nonsense to make random guesses just because of a line of poetry. She really could not understand Xiao Chengxu's thoughts.
Xiao Chengxu seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out words from between his teeth, "My heart, is his heart clean and pure?"
Without asking, Xie Yaoqing knew who the "he" Xiao Chengxu was referring to, and it could not be anyone else except Gu Qingjian.
She could never understand why Xiao Chengxu always held on to Gu Qingjian so tightly, as if all the problems between them were caused by Gu Qingjian.
In their previous lives, they had had countless heated arguments, either because of the selection of concubines or because of the concubines' competition for favor...
Now that she is reborn, she still quarrels with Xiao Chengxu, but this time it is for a man.
Looking at Xiao Chengxu's furious look, it was as if she had cheated on him.
"Whatever you want to think, once you've thought it through, just give me a letter of divorce."
Xie Yaoqing didn't want to waste any more words with Xiao Chengxu, because no matter what she said, Xiao Chengxu simply wouldn't listen. In this case, what else is there to say?
The two words that Xiao Chengxu couldn't bear to hear the most now were "divorce letter". These two words meant that Xie Yaoqing wanted to separate from him and leave him. He had spent so much effort to marry Yaoyao, how could he let her leave so easily? Absolutely not, he would not allow it.
Just as Xie Yaoqing turned around and prepared to leave, Xiao Chengxu suddenly stretched out his long arms, hugged her tightly in his arms, then picked her up sideways and walked straight towards the bed.
He would never give the queen any chance to escape his control.
Xie Yaoqing saw through Xiao Chengxu's intention at a glance, sneered a few times, and began to struggle desperately.
"Let me go, Xiao Chengxu. If you're in heat, go find the concubines in your harem to sleep with you. Don't bother me again. I won't serve you." Xie Yaoqing said angrily.
Xie Yaoqing had practiced martial arts since she was young, so she naturally had some skills. However, Xiao Chengxu was not a weak man. Regardless of whether he was a skilled martial artist, the inherent strength difference between men and women put Xie Yaoqing at a disadvantage. Even if she used all her strength, such as punching and kicking, or cursing, she could not get rid of Xiao Chengxu's restraints. Not only that, she was firmly imprisoned by him and could not move at all.
After a while, his body touched the soft bed. Xie Yaoqing's clothes were half taken off, and he became more and more anxious and angry.
She was filled with shame and anger, and felt a wave of nausea rising in her heart. She quickly glanced around, and finally fixed her eyes on the candlestick not far away. She immediately pounced on it without hesitation, grabbed the candlestick, and threw it at Xiao Chengxu with all her strength.
Xiao Chengxu didn't let her have an easy life, and she didn't let Xiao Chengxu have an easy life either.
How could Xie Yaoqing not know that disrespecting the king was a serious crime? As long as Xiao Chengxu was determined to pursue her, she would not be able to escape. However, Xie Yaoqing still took the risk.
So what if it was regicide? It was all Xiao Chengxu who forced him to do it.
As the ruler of a country, Xiao Chengxu's behavior at this time was just like that of a bandit. He was so shameless and vulgar, even if he had no shame, Xie Yaoqing could not stand this humiliation.
Xie Yaoqing really didn't understand. Xiao Chengxu kept saying that he had her in his heart and cared about her. Was this how much he cared about her?
Obviously not. In his eyes, I might just be a plaything for him to vent his selfish desires.
With a crisp "clang" sound, the candlestick hit Xiao Chengxu's forehead accurately.
Xiao Chengxu's eyes suddenly widened, revealing dark red bloodshot in his eyes, as if they were about to burst, and his eyes were filled with an intense disbelief.
Perhaps he could never have imagined that the person who was willing to sacrifice his life for him and live and die with him would one day attack him and regard him as a scourge. Not only would he avoid him, but when forced into a corner, he would turn his fangs and sharp teeth against him and bite his flesh and blood, as if they were not a couple who shared the same bed and were close to each other, but a pair of enemies who hated each other.
Blood soon gushed out from Xiao Chengxu's forehead, flowing down like a flood, instantly dyeing his entire face red. Under the dim light in the room, the scene looked extremely strange and creepy.
Xie Yaoqing's body was covered with goose bumps. Although she was filled with fear, she still tried to keep herself calm. She said with a trembling voice, "Yes...you were the first to do it. I didn't want to. Why did you force me?"
At this moment, Xie Yaoqing was already in a panic, his heart was beating like a drum.
There are very few queens who dare to attack the emperor. How could Xiao Chengxu not be angry? His rage is understandable.
Just when Xie Yaoqing was ready to bear the emperor's wrath, he saw Xiao Chengxu's body shaking a few times, and his eyes, which were originally open, suddenly closed. Then with a "thump", he fell straight onto the bed and fell into a coma in an instant.
Xie Yaoqing couldn't just watch Xiao Chengxu do nothing like this, so she quickly ordered the palace servants to call the imperial physician over.
Although at one point, the thought flashed through her mind that she might as well just leave Xiao Chengxu alone and let him fend for himself, and that being a widow seemed like a good idea as well.
However, it is always easy to imagine, but difficult to implement in practice.
How could the empress, who was in her prime and full of vigor, suddenly die in Kunning Palace? It was obviously impossible to get away with it by simply explaining it as an "accident". If the empress dowager or someone else caught hold of her and made a big fuss about it, she would not only be in danger, but her entire family would also be implicated.
In the end, reason overcame her inner impulsive emotions. Xie Yaoqing knew very well that at this moment, whether for her own considerations or for the interests of the entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion, she could not stand idly by and watch someone die.
It’s not that Xiao Chengxu can’t die, but he can’t die at this time, and his death can’t have anything to do with himself.
When they heard that an imperial decree had been issued from Kunning Palace to summon imperial physicians to treat the emperor, all the imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau, without exception, rushed to Kunning Palace as many as they could.
Xie Yaoqing appointed Doctor Qi to treat Xiao Chengxu's injuries and sent away all the other doctors.
Doctor Qi is worthy of being a palace servant. He has been in the palace for a long time and is a smart man. He knows when to play deaf and dumb. Although he can see at a glance that Xiao Chengxu's face is covered in blood and something is wrong, when Xie Yaoqing explained that it was because "the emperor accidentally hit his head when he stood up", he didn't even move his eyelids, as if he didn't hear anything, and continued to perform his duties without even saying a word.
As an insignificant imperial physician, what qualifications did he have to comment on the affairs between these big shots? The most urgent priority was to cure the emperor. Otherwise, losing his official position would be the least of his worries, and he would even lose his own life.
Even though Xiao Chengxu was injured and now unconscious, after Doctor Qi bandaged his wounds, Xie Yaoqing still asked the palace servants to send him back to the Qianqing Palace.
Let her serve Xiao Chengxu?
How can it be?
It would be good enough if you don't take advantage of someone's misfortune or illness to kill him.
It would be fine if Xiao Chengxu was not under her nose. If he stayed in Kunning Palace all the time, she really couldn't guarantee that she would be able to restrain the urge to kill Xiao Chengxu every time.
Deep love, deep hatred.
Love desires its life, evil desires its death.
Xie Yaoqing knew that he had always been different from most people and would occasionally have some extreme and radical thoughts.
Feng An said with an embarrassed look: "The Emperor has always valued the Empress. If the Empress is not here, I'm afraid..."
Xie Yaoqing waved her hands, then covered the corners of her lips with her hands, pretending to be weak and powerless, and deliberately coughed twice, "This palace naturally wants to serve the emperor in person, but unfortunately I am unable to do so. After all, the emperor is injured now, and his body is weak. If the emperor is accidentally infected with the disease, then this palace will be guilty. It would be better for this palace to arrange for other concubines to serve the emperor. Now the emperor can't do without someone to serve him."
Although Xie Yaoqing and Xiao Chengxu quarreled very fiercely and even came to blows, there was no third person present in the hall at the time. Therefore, almost no one would doubt Xie Yaoqing, and no one dared to question her.
Feng An knew very well his master's attitude towards the concubines in the harem. After hearing this, he dared not say a word more and could only obey the arrangements of Queen Xie Yaoqing.
