Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Get Out, All of You!

"Ouch, ouch..."

As these few people flew in, they kept screaming miserably because they were truly in pain from being kicked.

Everyone: "..."

Who is this? So bold, daring to cause trouble in Qianlong Palace?

Li Qingmu had a speechless expression; his little wife seemed quite angry?

Worried about any issues, he quickly walked out, only to see Long Yue storming in aggressively.

"Princess Consort Mu, you..."

"I came in to see my Imperial Brother, and these insolent servants insisted on stopping me, so I taught them a lesson to remind them!"

Princess Consort Qin was about to reprimand Long Yue, but he quickly retorted, interrupting her before she could finish speaking.

Princess Consort Qin was momentarily blocked, feeling quite uncomfortable.

"Even if these insolent servants were disrespectful, Princess Consort Mu, you could have just sent word that Prince Mu is here. How could they not let you in?"

Empress Dowager Li squinted her eyes, looked at Long Yue, then glanced at Li Qingmu.

She deliberately did not mention "Regent King," instead addressing him with his former title "Prince Mu," intending to downplay his regency role.

Li Qingmu was expressionless, indifferent about it.

What does it matter if she downplays it? He is the Regent King; that’s an undeniable fact, as the Emperor is still present!

Long Yue smiled politely at Empress Dowager Li, then casually said, "Is that so? Well, I wasn’t aware of it! Do not blame me, Imperial Concubine, I have lived in the countryside for too long and inevitably adopted some bad habits. Please forgive me."

Her words were utterly nonchalant, which deeply annoyed Empress Dowager Li.

This was blatantly dismissing her authority!

"Princess Consort Mu!" she rebuked sharply, but Long Yue just looked surprised. "Hmm? Does the Imperial Concubine have something to say?"

"You..."

Empress Dowager Li was infuriated by Long Yue’s feigned ignorance, almost wanting to swallow her whole; her gaze on Long Yue was nearly burning with rage.

"Empress Dowager Li, I brought my consort here to check on His Majesty’s condition."

Li Qingmu already sensed something amiss, speaking in a cold voice.

Empress Dowager Li detected the hostility in Li Qingmu’s tone, turned her gaze to him.

This person actually brought Long Yue over to examine Qi Junlian’s health? Only then did she remember that Long Yue’s master was Duanmu Nan, an exceptional physician. If they allowed her to examine, she might discover something.

Upon realizing this, Empress Dowager Li’s expression turned increasingly unpleasant.

Li Qingmu ignored her, pulling Long Yue along to check on Qi Junlian’s health.

"Uh..."

Qi Junlian was severely ill. His eyes were slightly red, and Long Yue even discovered that his eyeballs couldn’t move.

He just stared directly at them, wanting to reach out and speak, but his throat seemed blocked, preventing him from speaking.

"His Majesty seems... to be suffering due to extreme physical weakness, but... something seems off..."

Long Yue narrowed her eyes, pondering.

Empress Dowager Li saw that she couldn’t articulate anything, so she said coldly, "If Princess Consort Mu can’t figure it out, you’d better hurry home! Remember, you still have two children there. As a woman, it’s better to focus on managing your household."

Long Yue squinted, was this a jab at her for meddling?

Implying she should go home and mind the children? Haha!

This Empress Dowager Li, utterly treacherous, had previously been helped by her and her husband to ascend the throne, but then she turned ungrateful, feeling threatened by their presence.

Later, she even tried to use the Southern Territory flooding to frame her husband, utterly despicable!

So she no longer bothered giving face, responding coldly, "Empress Dowager Li is right, women should indeed manage their households. How can they be involved in affairs of state?"

This was a taunt as well, mocking her for a woman intervening in state matters!

Indeed, upon hearing Long Yue say this, Empress Dowager Li’s expression instantly turned quite nasty, even wishing she could order someone to expel this obnoxious woman immediately!

But with Li Qingmu present, she couldn’t.

This man was highly skilled in martial arts, unmatched by ordinary people, even those around her with special abilities seemed unable to subdue him.

This actually put her in a somewhat awkward position.

Long Yue watched Empress Dowager Li’s face alternately pale and flush, smiled lightly, "Empress Dowager Li, is what the Princess Consort Mu said correct or not, hmm?"

"You, you..."

Empress Dowager Li was temporarily unable to retort Long Yue’s query, becoming intensely frustrated, glaring at her and about to speak when suddenly, Qi Junlian let out a yell from that side.

Then his previously immobile body suddenly twitched, rolling off the bed.

"Father!"

Qi Jingyu rushed over to support him.

Qi Jinglin also wanted to approach, but Li Qingmu directly blocked him, "Imperial Brother? Yue’er?"

"Let me see!"

Long Yue stepped forward to check the pulse, and her fingers discreetly pressed several acupoints because Li Qingmu shielded her, making it unseen to Empress Dowager Li and others.

Then, Qi Junlian surprisingly could speak.

"Get out... all of you... get out..."

He struggled to raise his hand, pointing at Minister Li, Princess Consort Qin, and others, telling them to leave altogether.

Empress Dowager Li’s expression slightly trembled, what about her? She as the mother, should she also leave?

"His Majesty, they are here to see you; how can you tell them to leave? You are becoming increasingly unkind, Your Majesty."

She intended to say "no manners," but to an Emperor, he embodies manners, hence why she changed it to "unkind."

Qi Junlian glanced at her, a trace of reluctance in his eyes, lightly shaking his head, "Out, all... out, I have words... with my Imperial Brother."

When he said this, the expressions of Empress Dowager Li and the others became even more sour.

Luckily, a few ministers were clever enough to leave directly.

As they left, Empress Dowager Li and others had no choice but to follow suit.

Li Qingmu and Qi Jingyu hurriedly helped Qi Junlian back to the bed, Qi Junlian struggled to look at them, grief visible on his face, "I never thought they... they would be like this..."

Initially, Long Yue was a bit puzzled hearing him say this, but quickly grasped the situation.

Qi Junlian turned to Qi Jingyu, sighing softly, "Actually... your father knows, marrying a woman you don’t love is painful... but if otherwise... they’d remove your Crown Prince status, supporting... Lin’er instead.

He’s still young, if he ascends, how could this kingdom... remain Qi Imperial Family’s territory? Cough cough..."

As he spoke, his emotions got stirred, resulting in a cough.

"Father!"

Qi Jingyu quickly went over to assist his breathing, eyes holding a tinge of apology and sorrow, "Father, I wronged you!"

"It doesn’t matter... Your mother... was too absorbed in power, ever since you resisted the marriage proposal... she’s been hinting for me to replace the Crown Prince... Yu’er, promise your father, after you ascend... don’t harm her..."

"Father, I understand; she is my grandmother, after all... but Father, what on earth is wrong with you?"

Qi Jingyu observed his father’s deteriorating complexion, worriedly like an ant on a hot pan, he looked at Long Yue, "Imperial Aunt, what is wrong with my father?"
