Evil King’s Medical Skilled Consort: Volume 4

By Wang XiaoFei

On the day of the wedding, not only did the bridal sedan chair of his beloved not arrive, it was instead carried into the palace to celebrate for the old emperor. The old emperor passed away, the one in love stepped on her to succeed the throne.

As the Conspiracy Consort, her limbs and veins were all cut off by aphrodisiac, and she was buried in the Tomb of the Underground Emperor! In exchange for her death, all the chickens and dogs in the world would be raised to the heavens!

When she woke up again, time had flowed back to three years ago. She was still a weak girl, her father was kind and her mother was kind, her sister was cute, and the person in her heart was still a modest gentleman. Huo Mingzhu sneered from the bottom of her heart. All of the peaceful love and camaraderie was just an illusion. She had already lost her life and would never believe their flowery words again.

CHAPTER 301 - TO BE ALONE WITH YOU

Baili Zonglv's words were extremely obvious, he had purposely said those words, leaving Baili Jingqi no choice but to leave.

For the emperor to eat, he was the one who hated being disturbed the most, and he shouldn't be left behind to accompany him. Only if the emperor decreed that they should stay, and it would be extremely disrespectful if Baili Jingqi went over to eat.

Huo Mingzhu sighed in his heart. Baili Jingqi's cultivation could not compare to Baili Zonglv's after all.

Baili Jingqi was out of everyone's expectations, not only did he not leave, he walked up to Huo Mingzhu and said: The teacher of the country should be the empress, although it has not been bestowed with the title, it is not proper to kneel here, if the teacher has offended royal uncle, I hope that royal uncle will show mercy and forgive the teacher.

Not only did Baili Zonglv not think of it, but even Huo Mingzhu did not expect that Baili Jingqi would actually take out her identity to speak.

He … He doesn't care?

Huo Mingzhu glanced at Baili Jingqi, but he knew that Baili Jingqi still minded his words. His body was stiff, his fists clenched tightly.

Baili Zonglv was so angry that he laughed instead, "Hehe, I had forgotten, the teacher of the nation was not long ago the empress, and he is now my sister-in-law. It is truly unreasonable for the empress of Crown Prince Jing Qi to kneel here with such an identity.

Hearing Baili Zonglv's words, Baili Jingqi gave a puzzled look to Huo Mingzhu: Then why is A Jin kneeling here?

Huo Mingzhu replied, In reply to the crown prince, this subject's daughter offended the empress dowager.

If the empress dowager told her to kneel there, that wouldn't be right. The empress dowager didn't say anything at all, just didn't ask her to get up. This was the only answer she could give.

Baili Jingqi frowned. If it's the empress dowager, I would ask for a favor to get you up.

I thank Your Highness the crown prince for his kindness, but this subject believes that kneeling like this is still a good idea. If Esteemed Empress Dowager hasn't calmed down by then, even Your Highness might be angered by his request. Besides, the scenery here is very good. Kneeling like this is also a good thing.

Only Huo Mingzhu himself knew that his words were akin to slapping a fat man's face. Her knees must have already turned pitch black, and if she continued to kneel like this, it might even be difficult for her to get up.

Hearing that, Baili Jingqi also knelt down beside Huo Mingzhu.

This action caused the two people present to look at him in surprise.

Baili Jingqi laughed: A Jin thinks that the scenery here is great, then that Gu also appreciates it.

Huo Mingzhu had all sorts of emotions, he couldn't really say what it felt like. If Baili Jingqi's actions were to spread to the ears of the empress dowager, the empress dowager could not help but care about it even if she didn't want to.

If the crown prince had not interfered, even if she were to kneel here, no one would have come to pity her. Even if they wanted to stand up, they would all have to obtain an order from the empress dowager.

Now, with Baili Jingqi intervening, unless the empress dowager didn't even care about Baili Jingqi, she would quickly let him go. It was just that in doing so, she owed him again.

Thinking about how Baili Jingqi had protected her so many times, it was hard for her not to remember it in her heart.

Therefore, Huo Mingzhu did not think that he would accept it so easily. He then said to Baili Jingqi: Your Highness, I am afraid that it is unreasonable for you to be kneeling here watching the scenery. If you think that the scenery here is good, you can just let the palace maids find a chair to sit on.

CHAPTER 302 - CALAMITY

A Jin, don't say too much. The moment I knelt down, I felt that what A Jin said was correct. The scenery here is indeed very captivating. Baili Jingqi smiled at Huo Mingzhu.

Looking at Baili Jingqi's candid smile, Huo Mingzhu really did not know what to do.

Baili Zonglv chuckled. Jing Qi, if the emperor were to see your actions, wouldn't it mean that you would go mad with rage? I think the empress dowager would be quite disappointed as well.

Imperial Uncle's words are wrong, Jing Qi kneeled down just like that, just for the sake of the scenery. If the empress dowager and royal father were to ask about it, Jing Qi would answer them the same way. The empress dowager and royal father are very kind, how would they care about Jing Qi's view of the scenery? Baili Jingqi laughed.

Baili Zonglv laughed: State Grandmaster, you truly have a good method.

Ming Zhu does not know what Ninth Prince is referring to. Huo Mingzhu said that, but how could she not know what he meant?

After Baili Zonglv heard these words, he did not make things difficult for her, but left with an unreadable smile. The place he was heading to was not the imperial study, but the empress dowager's longevity palace.

My lord, this is not the way to the royal study. He Fang asked in confusion.

Go to the Venerable Life Palace. The crown prince and Imperial Advisor are kneeling there. If I don't help them, how could I be worthy of the crown prince calling me 'Imperial Uncle'?

Speaking of Baili Jingqi, Baili Zonglv was also extremely angry.

Baili Zonglv had to admit that this was good luck, as even a few of his schemes were destroyed by Huo Mingzhu. However, Baili Zonglv didn't think that it was a big problem, Baili Jingqi would definitely die sooner or later so he could keep him alive for a few more years.

Halfway there, Baili Zonglv saw Little De Zi, who was standing beside the empress dowager, hurriedly walk over to the two of them. When he saw Baili Zonglv, he said, This servant pays his respects to the prince.

Little De, where are you going in such a hurry?

This servant carried Esteemed Empress Dowager's orders and asked the crown prince to accompany Esteemed Empress Dowager for a meal. Little De Zi smiled and said to Baili Zonglv.

Why is the Crown Prince over there? Baili Zonglv intentionally asked.

Little De Zi said, Oh, that's right. His Highness the Crown Prince is currently kneeling at the entrance of the imperial study. If the Emperor were to see him, it would be terrible. Your servant still hurried over, and your servant took his leave.

Since something like this happened, then go quickly, little De. Baili Zonglv didn't find it strange.

The empress dowager wanted to teach Huo Mingzhu a lesson, so of course she wouldn't be allowed to kneel like this. Now that Baili Jingqi was blocking her, the empress dowager's heart ached for her grandson, so she hurried over to invite him over.

It's just that Baili Zonglv did not expect the emperor to be so indifferent to him.

In truth, Baili Zonglv was mistaken, the emperor did not know about Huo Mingzhu's situation, he thought that Huo Mingzhu had already left the palace. After the empress dowager left from his place, he returned to his room and rested after lunch, he naturally did not know anything about the situation outside.

Otherwise, even if Baili Jingqi was not needed, the Emperor would have come over to interfere. After all, the current Huo Mingzhu was someone that the Emperor desired.

Only, before this little De Zi could rush over, Huo Mingzhu had already fallen.

She really didn't do it on purpose, but because of the recovery of her body and the fact that she had knelt for four hours, even if she was made of iron, she would still fall down.

With this fall, Baili Jingqi was completely terrified, he immediately carried her and ran, while telling Cao An to quickly ask for a royal doctor, please go to the crown prince's palace.

Little De Zi didn't invite Baili Jingqi, but instead brought this news to the empress dowager, who was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand.

Is this woman going to harm Jing Qi, or this mountain? Empress Dowager, it seems that you already have a hateful heart towards Huo Mingzhu, it's just that Huo Mingzhu doesn't know about it.

CHAPTER 303 - HIS MAJESTY'S PERSONAL VISIT

The news of Huo Mingzhu's fall quickly spread throughout the entire imperial palace. The emperor obviously knew of it as well.

Your son pays his respects to Esteemed Empress Dowager.

Esteemed Empress Dowager wasn't surprised at all. The emperor had come to her at a time like this, but he still had to put on airs. Your Majesty's coming to This Dowager's place at a time like this isn't just to pay respects, is it?

The empress dowager understands that I have come for the matter of the Imperial Advisor, as she thinks. the Emperor said.

Yes, This Dowager has also heard of the Imperial Advisor's matter. However, This Dowager doesn't understand why the Imperial Advisor would kneel in front of my imperial study until he fainted. If I were to say that This Dowager was the one who passed by, then it is likely someone with ulterior motives splashed dirty water on This Dowager's body. Her Majesty spoke with great indignation.

The Emperor couldn't say anything else.

Originally, Huo Mingzhu only made the empress dowager kneel in punishment, causing her to faint. It was just that the empress dowager didn't admit it, so the emperor didn't say anything.

Thus, she said, The empress dowager said that someone must have been plotting something behind her back and must be investigated thoroughly. In order to pay her respects to the heavens, the Imperial Adviser had already injured her body. The Imperial Advisor is the meritorious general of the Great Yong. We cannot allow anyone to plot against him. If word spreads out, wouldn't the people of this world say that I am an ungrateful bastard?"

The empress dowager was infuriated by the emperor's words, and wanted to kill Huo Mingzhu, the main culprit. Didn't the emperor mean her, the ungrateful person, meant her?

He didn't expect that such a small Imperial Advisor, a woman, would make the Emperor not hesitate to say these words to him, implying that he was not to touch her.

This was something that had never happened before, so how could the empress dowager not feel angry?

The more the emperor spoke, the gloomier the empress dowager's expression became. Afterwards, the empress dowager said unhappily, "Your Majesty, aren't you making too much of a fuss, not to mention it's a misunderstanding, it's really not a misunderstanding. A small teacher like that actually caused the emperor to treat you so differently.

When the emperor heard this, he said, That's great. I still have a report to review. I'll take my leave first.

With that, he left.

Only, the Emperor was not going to the imperial study, but the crown prince's palace. At this moment, Huo Mingzhu was resting in the crown prince's palace.

Huo Mingzhu was eating the medicine brought up by Fu Tou, which was still very hot. She held it in her hand, wanting to use it when it was cold, she originally wanted Fu Tou to put the medicine on the table, but seeing Fu Tou's cold expression, she gave up.

Previously, when she was reading, these palace maids were actually very willing to get close to her. Presumably, it was because she was going to be the Crown Prince's consort. Now that she was the quasi Queen, these palace maids and eunuchs didn't want to bother with her anymore.

It was just that due to Baili Jingqi's orders, he had to take good care of Huo Mingzhu, which was why he gave the medicine and sent the soup to him.

Baili Jingqi still had to go to the south study room to study, so before he returned, Huo Mingzhu could not leave, so he could only lie down and rest.

Just a moment ago, after resting for a long time, she had drank some hot soup inside, and had recovered most of her strength, thinking that once Baili Jingqi returned from school, she would be able to leave the palace.

As he was thinking, he heard the greetings from the entrance. It was just that the target of the greetings was not Baili Jingqi, but the Emperor.

How is the Imperial Advisor? the Emperor asked.

Reporting to the Emperor, the Imperial Advisor is fine. He is currently awake and resting. The eunuch at the door replied.

Huo Mingzhu thought it would be impolite to lie on the bed to receive the carriage, and was about to get up, but the moment he lifted the blanket, the Emperor came in.

CHAPTER 304 - I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was about to get up, he quickly walked over and pressed Huo Mingzhu's body down, State Grandmaster does not need to be overly courteous, you can just lie down.

This subject's daughter pays her respects to the Emperor.

These are all fake. Your body is the most important. the Emperor said.

This subject thanks Your Majesty.

Immediately after, it was a one-sided show by the emperor, in which he continuously asked Huo Mingzhu to rest well, gave him a large amount of tonics, and promised to leave. Huo Mingzhu was only concerned with thanking him wholeheartedly.

When Baili Jingqi returned, he knew that the emperor was talking to Huo Mingzhu inside the house, and his face immediately sank a lot. As Cao An looked at him, he felt his heart ache, but he could do nothing about it.

Baili Jingqi was silent for a moment, then said, Cao An, mother's birthday will be in a few days, right?

To reply to the crown prince, yes, on the third of November.

Oh, so fast. Baili Jingqi's tone was very dejected.

Cao An knew that Baili Jingqi's disappointment came from the situation inside the house, but he had no way to comfort Baili Jingqi. He only had to lower his head and say: I deserve to die.

What do you mean 'deserve to die' or 'not deserve to die'? I remember that mother's birthday was not long ago when she was born. Baili Jingqi smiled faintly.

That smile was filled with sorrow.

Cao An replied: This servant remembers.

Say, if Royal Father Gu Xiang took A Jin, would Royal Father allow you to be alone? Baili Jingqi asked.

Cao An jumped in shock and quickly knelt down: Crown Prince, don't do it too. Your majesty, your majesty really loves you, but, just that ….

Is that so? Even you know that you can't get A Jin to come even if you were alone, but you still say that you love him. If Mother didn't die, I'm afraid that it would be fine. Let's go, and enter alone to pay our respects to the Emperor." Baili Jingqi said a few words, but in the end, he forgave them. If it wasn't for Cao An who was listening beside him, no one would really be able to understand what he was saying.

The moment Baili Jingqi entered, he saw the emperor grabbing onto Huo Mingzhu's hand. His expression immediately became extremely unsightly, but he was still patient enough to greet the emperor.

This son greets royal father.

Mn, Jing Qi is back. The emperor released Huo Mingzhu's hand, but the expression on his face didn't contain the slightest bit of guilt, as if the person he held in his hands was not the love of his son.

Huo Mingzhu felt that the bed was extremely hot.

To report to royal father, right now, since his teacher is recuperating in the Jing Qi Palace, he left school two hours earlier on his own. He wanted to send his teacher back to his residence as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be too late in the morning. Baili Jingqi did not even glance at Huo Mingzhu, as if he was not in the room.

The Emperor nodded. The Crown Prince is becoming more and more meticulous. He also understands etiquette and knows what to do and what not to do.

Because of the Emperor's words, Huo Mingzhu turned to look at Baili Jingqi, only to see Baili Jingqi's face gradually turning white, and suddenly, Huo Mingzhu was extremely reluctant, this silly crown prince, had always been raised under the protection of the Emperor, and now that the Emperor had said such heavy words, he could not take it anymore.

Baili Jingqi indeed felt unwell, his hands secretly clenching his fists tightly, but he had no choice but to endure.

In an instant, he regained his calm and changed the topic, Imperial Father, it will be Imperial Mother's birthday soon. Your son wishes to leave the palace and go to the Thousand Buddha Temple to pray for Imperial Mother's blessings.

CHAPTER 305 - COVERT POWER

Agreed. The Emperor nodded without any objection.

Thank you, Imperial Father, for your grace. Baili Jingqi said.

The Emperor said, Add in some extra money.

Yes. As Baili Jingqi replied, the relationship between father and son became as cold as ice.

Baili Jingqi had something to say, but he couldn't say it out loud. The emperor also wanted to teach the crown prince a lesson as well, and bring the future empress to the East Palace to rest.

However, the Emperor still did not say anything, he just sent his men to prepare the palanquin carriage and ordered Huo Mingzhu to be sent back to the Imperial Advisor's estate.

Even if Baili Jingqi had thousands of things he wanted to say, he could only endure it and watch as Huo Mingzhu was taken away. Cao An and Feng Yi, who was by his side, felt their hearts ache.

[What a blow to the Crown Prince?]

If resting could be considered as a blessing from misfortune, then Huo Mingzhu would receive his blessing in a few days. However, these few days were not only for resting, but also to wait for the day when he would be officially sealed.

Su Lv asked Huo Mingzhu several times, was she really going to become the Empress?

Huo Mingzhu nodded her head every time, she could only nod her head. She had no other choice, right? So what if it was the crown prince? She was someone who the emperor had to win in his eyes.

However, even if Huo Mingzhu was resting, he couldn't help but want to see the hidden guard that Fang Tieyi had secretly groomed.

They were all the same as him, and had stayed on the drill grounds before. It could be said that they were all very skilled, because they were all willing to not serve the Emperor. However, this didn't stop them from being loyal to Fang Tieyi, which also meant they were loyal to Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu did not care whether these people's loyalty was to her or to Fang Tieyi, as long as she had someone by her side that she could use.

Furthermore, the people she had prepared were not there for her to use, but as a precaution.

However, Fang Tieyi's capabilities were not to be underestimated. The people he was looking for, were not only those who had skill and skills, they were also those who were first-rate in management and knew how to conduct business, all had been brought over for him. This time, Huo Mingzhu's silver was given to them to handle, it was very suitable.

Those people all suggested to Huo Mingzhu something, such as how to make money out of money.

Huo Mingzhu did not understand, but he could see that these people were truly capable, so he let them go and let them work, mainly because these people were brought here by Fang Tieyi. According to Fang Tieyi, these people were all capable people, just that they could not find a suitable place, thus, they were all down.

Huo Mingzhu did not care about all these, if Fang Tieyi truly had the ability to make her have more and more silver, she would not mind letting Fang Tieyi have her way.

Furthermore, she had to enter the palace. After entering the palace, if she wanted to look at these things from time to time, it would probably be impossible, and even though she could use the pill concocting reason to leave the palace to handle these things, it would be extremely inconvenient. Su Lv was not that kind of person, furthermore, she had to follow by her side.

After entering the palace, it was no longer as easy as being a teacher of state. Other than dealing with the emperor, there were also the imperial concubines and even the empress dowager. Her final goal was to deal with those people.

When he thought about the people in the general's residence, he thought about the Pingyang Mansion, and Lin Yunchu's appearance once again appeared in Huo Mingzhu's mind. On that day, Lin Yunchu drunkenly appeared at the State Grandmaster's Estate. Although the news about that incident did not spread, it had left a trace in Huo Mingzhu's heart.

She could tell that
