    Chapter 61 The evil cat concubine who confuses the country 22

    “How are you?”

    Xie Rong pushed Gu Qiansi away, wiped the blood from his lips, raised his hand to hold the long sword hanging on his waist, and unsheathed the sword.

    “What are you doing standing still? Hold him down!” he said coldly.

    Gu Qiansi followed his gaze and saw that the butcher was so stimulated that he broke free of the chains with his bare hands.

    No matter how evil he is, he has been under the emperor’s feet and spent these years in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, which is the most evil place, and his vitality has long been severely damaged.

    Gu Qiansi took the new chain from the jailer’s hand and kicked the butcher down. The muscles of the arm holding the chain bulged out, and he tied the butcher tightly.

    He turned his head and said, “Thank you——”

    Xie Rong lowered his brows, his eyes were cold, and anger leaked from the end of his eyes. He walked straight to the butcher and stabbed the butcher in the heart with a sword.

    Then draw the sword, and thrust it in again, draw the sword, and thrust it in again.

    Blood splashed on his beautiful brows and flowed down his white and thin chin.

    Everyone inside and outside the cell was silent.

    They didn’t even have time to think about how the cat that had just entered was clearly a cat, and why it came out as the secretive Queen Mother.

    The murderous look and cruelty in the eyes of this excessively young Queen Mother was no less than that of the late Emperor, and everyone was frightened to the spot for a moment.

    After a cup of tea, the butcher’s heart was shattered to pieces by the sword.

    Xie Rong lost his sword, and the depression accumulated in his heart was relieved.

    “What just happened?”

    Everyone was even more stunned. The regent, who had always hated the Demon Queen, actually took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on the Demon Queen’s face.

    Xie Rong lifted up his cuffs, and there was a bite mark with blood visible on his snow-white arm.

    If you dare to make him unhappy, don’t blame him for returning it a hundred times a thousand times.

    “Chop his body into pieces, throw it into a mass grave, and feed it to the dogs.” Xie Rong said and turned around, and everyone in the prison lowered their heads to avoid it.

    Gu Qiansi stalked after him and grabbed his wrist.

    “Your wound——”

    Xie Rong slapped him.

    Gu Qiansi was caught off guard and was hit by him. She covered her face and stared at him blankly.

    “Did you deliberately take revenge on me for what happened today?” Xie Rong half-squinted his eyes, “Why, my position as Queen Mother is an eyesore to you?”

    Gu Qiansi laughed angrily, “Empress Dowager, these days, I have been serving you every day, and this is how you miss me?”

    Xie Rong looked at him with a slightly mean look on his face, “If you were really a good person, you wouldn’t have accepted the Tiger Talisman from me in the first place. Why are you pretending to be a good person now?”

    There are no good things in this capital city.

    Lu Wenjing is like that, Jiang Yebai is like that, and of course Gu Qiansi is like that.

    All of them are worthless bitches.

    Have you done something bad and are you still afraid of being slandered?It’s ridiculous to talk about trusting him.

    Xie Rong glanced at the golden python pattern unique to the Regent on Gu Qiansi’s chest, raised his hand and slowly wiped his hands on it.

    “I would also like to remind the regent that next time you see me, remember your identity, otherwise it will not be as simple as a slap.”

    Xie Rong patted Gu Qiansi’s face, turned around and left.

    At first Xie Rong didn’t take the wound seriously.

    When he returned to the palace, Eunuch Liu hurriedly came to greet him, wiping his tears and saying, “Queen Mother, where have you been? I haven’t found you for several days!”

    Xie Rong kicked off his shoes and socks and leaned on the imperial concubine’s couch, “Send someone to the general’s mansion to bring my orange tree back.”

    He didn’t say which one was his, but Eunuch Liu led his men into Gu’s house aggressively, and saw the paw prints on the orange tree in front of the courtyard at a glance.

    Such paw prints are unique to their Queen Mother and no one else has them.

    “Move away!” Eunuch Liu was even more proud than when he served the late emperor.

    The orange tree was planted in front of Qifeng Terrace, and Xie Rong watered it every day. As soon as spring began, the tree was full of green leaves.

    The orange trees were covered with leaves, but the injury on his arm was not healed yet.

    Eunuch Liu couldn’t help but feel worried every time he looked at it, “I’ll go and ask the imperial doctor to come.”

    “What’s the use of those losers from Tai Hospital coming here every day?” Xie Rong kicked away the basin at his feet irritably.

    “If even the Imperial Hospital is useless, the Queen Mother’s injury may be mysterious, why not let the Imperial Preceptor come and take a look?” Eunuch Liu tentatively asked, “I heard that when Emperor Wen was still there, there was a ghost in Yangxin Hall, and the Imperial Preceptor cured it.”

    This is the second time Xie Rong heard the word “Guoshi”.

    Xie Rong held his chin and thought for a while, “Let him do it.”

    Mr. Liu was about to get up, but Xie Rong called him again.

    “Wait, I’ll go by myself.”

    He wanted to see how capable this national master was.

    An hour later.

    Xie Rong stopped in front of Xuanqing Palace.

    The strange thing is that the power that oppressed his demonic body a few years ago is gone.

    He kicked open the door of Xuanqing Palace and stepped straight in.

    Compared with Qifengtai, the rumored mysterious Xuanqing Palace can only be described as shabby.

    Outside, the grass and trees are sprouting, the spring is endless, and everything is revived, but inside the Xuanqing Palace, dead leaves are falling, and a fallen leaf is blown up by the wind, gently brushing the edge of Xie Rong’s clothes.

    Xie Rong crushed the fallen leaves on the ground, walked through the courtyard, and pushed open the innermost room.

    The rotten moisture rushed towards him, and he kicked the door viciously.

    “What the hell is this place! If you keep pretending, I will demolish this Xuanqing Palace!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure walked out of the hall.

    “The Queen Mother, please calm down.”

    The deep and hoarse voice almost blended into this decaying palace.

    It is clear that he is about to die, but he still manages to survive until now.

    Xie Rong looked up.

    The man was wearing a black robe and a black tung mask on his face. He had a thin chin and pale lips. When he walked out, his tall and straight figure cast a heavy shadow on Xie Rong.

    Xie Rong withdrew his gaze, walked around the man into the hall, looked around, and sat down on a low couch.

    He propped his chin up and reached out to lift up his sleeves, “I’ll give you a stick of incense to heal my injury.”

    The Imperial Master followed him in and squatted beside him. When his eyes fell on the scars on his arms, his brows suddenly knitted together, “Who did it?”

    “That’s the prisoner you sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice five years ago,” Xie Rong smiled, “but now he’s just a pile of minced meat on a mass grave. Why, isn’t the Imperial Master good at divination? You still want to ask me?”

    Before the man could speak, he approached the other man’s face and stared directly into the eyes behind the national master’s mask, “You’re not faking it, are you?”

    The Imperial Master did not answer his words, but got up and went to the inner hall. After a while, he came out with a glass of wine and said, “Drink this and you will be well.”

    Xie Rong was on guard, but when he smelled the sweetness in the cup, he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue, licked the wine in the cup with the man’s hand, and narrowed his eyes in pleasure.

    “This is a heart attack.”

    “Yes,” the national master looked at him, “the cat demon can heal itself with its demonic power. You are just like this because someone has made you hungry and you have been hungry for too long.”

    “Whose brainchild is this?” Xie Rong licked the last drop of wine in the glass.

    “This is the heart of the late emperor.”

    Xie Rong paused and stared at him with a strange expression.

    The Imperial Master’s tone was calm: “Without him, you don’t seem to be satisfied with the blood of Jiang Yebai and Gu Qiansi.”

    “Do you ever regret letting him die?”
