Her Power and Favor Span the World

Chapter 117

"Wipe the sweat!" The Retired Emperor yelled.

Yuan Qingling hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "Take a break, have some water before continuing."

"Almost done, just need to carve a few more dragon patterns to make the hidden clasp." The Retired Emperor glanced at her, "Speaking of Marquis of Huiding, since you don't care about your own reputation and take risks, you shouldn't have disguised as a man but appeared directly in front of him as the Princess of Chu, and attracted his attention, best if you attracted his lust. "

Yuan Qingling asked, "What's the difference? He knows I'm the Princess of Chu."

The Retired Emperor said, "He will pretend not to know, and after taking care of things and killing someone, who knows you had fallen into his hands? Then wouldn't you have died for nothing? But if you interact with him in your identity as the princess, there will be more witnesses. Even if you die and no evidence can be found to prove it was him, charges can still be pressed against him with some effort, so your death will be worthwhile."

After hearing the Retired Emperor's words, Yuan Qingling had to admire that this was really an old fox.

"Before doing anything, you have to think of the most desperate step first, and do things with the mentality that even if you die, you will never let the other party get away with it, so things can often be effective."

"Listening to the Retired Emperor's words has been very enlightening." Yuan Qingling sincerely took in what he said. She thought about it and it really was too dangerous. If not for Duo Bao and his companions saving her, things would have happened as the Retired Emperor said, she would have died for nothing and made the enemy happy before death.

Eunuch Chang said, "The Princess must remember the Retired Emperor's words. He seldom says such things to others. You are the first."

After all, it was too sinister.

"I know," Yuan Qingling responded, subconsciously moving closer to the Retired Emperor, relying on the mountain!

But the Retired Emperor pushed her head away, "Go back to the palace, don't disturb me. Aren't you going to Prince Huai's mansion tomorrow? Go back and prepare first."

Yuan Qingling was shocked, "Your information is too accurate! I came straight from the study, no one reported anything on the way here."

The Retired Emperor said, "It's easy to guess this matter. Your fight and falling into the lake wasn't something that happened today. If the Emperor wanted to inquire, he would have done so earlier. Asking about it today when nothing happened for so long, he must be targeting you. The only use he has for you is your ridiculous medical skills, he didn't want you to take responsibility for the death of the prince, but now he has no choice. As a father, nothing is more painful than seeing your children die before you." The Retired Emperor sighed lightly at the end.

Yuan Qingling had to sincerely admire him, living so long really gave him great insight, no one could hide anything from him.

If this old man was still in power, the Chu family probably wouldn't dare to be so rampant.

What a cunning old fox!

"So when will you give me the royal staff?" Yuan Qingling asked as she stood up.

"It will be bestowed later, along with an edict, otherwise who would take the stick seriously?" The Retired Emperor turned around and started fiddling with many tools, taking out a long drill bit carving knife, which looked very strange.

Yuan Qingling grinned and said, "That makes sense!"

She wanted to reach out and grab the carving knife, but the Retired Emperor glared at her, "You dare touch my treasure? Get out immediately!"

She came in with her head down, but left with her head held high.

Having a powerful backer really gave an arrogant feeling.

Eunuch Mu Ru also went to Prince Huai's mansion to pass on the edict, saying that the Emperor had sent an imperial physician to treat Prince Huai's illness, and asked Prince Huai's mansion to prepare to welcome the imperial physician.

At the same time, Concubine Lu also learned that the Emperor had removed all the imperial physicians from Prince Huai's mansion and sent Yuan Qingling to treat Prince Huai's illness.

She was so angry that she smashed everything that could be smashed in the palace, and after smashing, she went to the study and cried, saying she wanted to go out of the palace herself to take care of her son. If the Emperor didn't allow it, she would take her own life.

Emperor Ming Yuan was most afraid of women's tears and tantrums. He waved his hand and said "Granted."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Lu immediately stopped crying and put on a tough look. After thanking him, she immediately went to pack up.

Eunuch Mu Ru said, "Your Majesty, wouldn't Concubine Lu hinder the Princess's treatment?"

"She will!" Emperor Ming Yuan emphasized loudly.

"Then...then why let Her Ladyship go?"

Emperor Ming Yuan looked deeply at Eunuch Mu Ru and shook his head, "You won't understand in your whole life."

"This servant is stupid. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Eunuch Mu Ru asked humbly.

Emperor Ming Yuan directly ignored him.

It was pointless to talk about women's affairs with an old eunuch.

In Prince Chu's mansion, Yuwen Hao was anxiously waiting. After he returned to the mansion, the mansion's servants told him that Elder Gu had suddenly taken Yuan Qingling into the palace, saying it was about Prince Huai's mansion's matters. He was hesitating whether or not to enter the palace, when he heard that the Princess had returned.

The first thing Yuan Qingling said when she saw him was, "Father ordered me to treat Prince Huai's illness."

Yuwen Hao was surprised. "Are you confident?"

Yuan Qingling shook her head. "No."

"Then don't go if you're not confident." Yuwen Hao said.

Yuan Qingling sat down and drank a cup of water. She said, "If I don't go, there's definitely no chance. You know your father's temper. If I dare to defy the decree, he will definitely have my head chopped off."

"It won't go that far!" Yuwen Hao said.

"It won't go that far," Yuan Qingling looked at his worried face and felt warmth in her heart. He had learned to care about others. "Don't worry too much. Even if I can't cure him, Father won't really punish me. At most I'll get a beating."

Yuwen Hao said indifferently, "This king is not worried about you, but worried that you will make trouble at Prince Huai's mansion, or carelessly stick needles to make my sixth brother suffer. If you are confident, I naturally hope that you will go, but if you are not confident, going will be useless."

Yuan Qingling put down her cup. "It doesn't hurt to say something nice."

Yuwen Hao looked at her and asked, "Do you really have no confidence at all?"

"It's too early to say I'm confident now. I have to see how far his illness has progressed."

"This king will accompany you there tomorrow."

Yuan Qingling shook her head. "No need. The Prince still has to go to work. I'll just bring Xi Mama."

"This king will accompany you!" Yuwen Hao emphasized unhappily. This was not asking for her opinion, it was his decision.

Yuan Qingling walked away with her hands behind her back. She suddenly turned back and looked at his slightly cold expression. "The Retired Emperor said he would bestow me something."

"What is it?" Yuwen Hao asked reflexively.

"It's called the royal staff," Yuan Qingling stood upright. "He said I can beat you with it without asking why, by imperial decree."

After saying that, she walked away victoriously.

Yuwen Hao was stunned. Grandfather, you went too far!

That night, the royal staff was delivered to Prince Chu's mansion.

It looked slightly different from what Yuan Qingling had seen during the day. It was a dark red color, polished very smoothly all over. A dragon coil was carved on the staff, like riding the clouds. Cloud and fire patterns were also carved on it. The head was slightly larger and bifurcated, polished round, and engraved with the words "Imperial Staff".

Yuan Qingling held it in her hands. She felt it was quite heavy, different from ordinary wood, and it looked very sturdy.

"What kind of wood is this?" Yuan Qingling asked curiously.

Xi Mama took a look and said, "This should be iron birch wood."

Yuan Qingling was surprised. "Iron birch wood?"
