I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 268 Promise
For the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, the life and death of Leng Yuanxun is nothing, but the large-scale casualties of the Northern Li horses are undoubtedly a god-sent opportunity. Fool.

Therefore, the key now is not how valuable Leng Yuanxun's life is, but the fighters he has created or is about to create.

There is no need for Leng Yuanxun to elaborate on the stakes in this, the Northern Li Emperor is well aware of it, so even if he is given ten more guts, he would not dare to kill Leng Yuanxun at this time, it is just a show.

Seeing that Leng Yuanxun had already seen through everything, although Emperor Beili was a little bit disappointed, he didn't want to bluff any more. He threw the sword aside casually and said coldly: "The matter of the racecourse is just talking to yourself. , how can I trust you?"

In fact, since Leng Yuanxun dared to make threats, he must have full confidence. It was unavoidable that the Emperor Beili's question was a little funny, but it was a matter of life and death, and he was inevitably a little too cautious. Under the drive, it is also expected to say some things that are against common sense.

Therefore, Leng Yuanxun didn't mind, and just said lightly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the racecourse to investigate, or wait for the news to come from the racecourse, but... if your hesitation delays the best Don't blame me for not notifying you in advance of the timing of the treatment."

At this time, Qu Lingxu, who was sitting by the side, felt at ease. If there hadn't been this snow, things would have been more or less twists and turns, but this timely heavy snow, like a god-sent opportunity, accelerated The pace of success in this round.

This is probably what is called: Providence.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Bei Li looked at her husband worriedly, and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start, so she just lowered her head again.

Just as Qu Lingxu was considering whether to speak, there was a rush of knocking on the door outside the hall.Before Emperor Beili discussed with Leng Yuanxun, he had issued an order not to be disturbed by anyone. The palace servants knew this and risked the risk of resisting the order to disturb him. It can be seen that the matter to report is no small matter.

"Come in." The Northern Li Emperor lowered his gaze for a moment, then raised his voice.

Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu did not evade, because he had already vaguely guessed that what the visitor wanted to report might have something to do with the racecourse.

Still the same sentence, good things may not come true, but bad things will definitely come true. Not long after the order of Emperor Northern Li was passed down, a man in dark brown clothes hurried in.

At first glance, the man was not a person with an important position. This was probably the first time he had entered the palace to meet the emperor. He looked very afraid, and after saluting, he lowered his head and said in a concentrated voice: "Weichen Xijiao Machang Steward Thoreau, send greetings to the emperor and empress."

"Get up!" The Northern Li emperor's heart was a little heavier than before. After the man got up, he frowned and said: "You came to see me late at night, but what happened to the racecourse?"

Hearing this, Thoreau, who had just stood up, knelt down again, bowed his head and said: "Reporting to the emperor... Since yesterday afternoon, many horses in the racecourse have started to have symptoms of fatigue, and they don't want to eat or drink. I am worried about this Going down will be...not very good, so I rushed to report to the emperor."

"Has any doctor seen it?" Emperor Beili raised his eyes and asked.

He always had a glimmer of hope, thinking that what the horses were suffering from was just a common disease.

However, Thoreau's next sentence completely dispelled the fluke mentality of the Northern Li emperor. He shook his head and said again: "As early as when this situation first happened, my minister had already asked the doctor to come for treatment, but ...doctor...can't tell why."

At the end, he bowed his head deeply, for fear that the emperor's next sentence would be punishment.

Fortunately, what Thoreau was afraid of did not happen. The Northern Li Emperor glanced at Leng Yuanxun coldly, and said lightly, "You go down first."

Thoreau was still waiting for the Northern Li emperor to make up his mind, so he didn't want to retreat in such a vague way, but he didn't dare to talk too much. After a little deliberation, he retreated out of the hall obediently.

After Thoreau retreated, the hall fell into silence again, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. This time, Leng Yuanxun did not speak first, but silently waited for the decision of Emperor Beili.

I don't know how long it took, until the tea cup in his hand was cold, and the voice of Emperor Beili came from Leng Yuanxun's ear, "What do you want me to do?"

When the Northern Li Emperor said this, he naturally agreed to cooperate. Leng Yuanxun quickly looked at Qu Lingxu and said, "Actually, there is nothing difficult. Soon, there will be a battle for the throne in the capital of the Xia Dynasty. This prince hopes that the northern border will be stable and there will be no more incidents."

"The one who seized the throne, couldn't it be you?" When it came to this point, even if the Emperor Beili was stupid, he could still hear the key points, and his cold eyes suddenly became a little more unwilling.

Anyone wants to get the great rivers and mountains in the Central Plains, so why should he give in and make others cheaper?
When this happened, there was no point in concealing it anymore. Leng Yuanxun simply nodded, but he didn't say much, he just said briefly: "Other things, the emperor doesn't need to know, you just want to decide whether to agree or not?"

"Aren't you afraid that if I falsely agree, I'll regret it later?"

"This son believes that the emperor is not the kind of villain who contradicts what he says, let alone..." Leng Yuanxun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile: "So what?"

All he needs to win is the golden time of those few days. After the situation in the capital is stabilized, if Bei Li dares to move around again, he doesn't mind using iron fists to deal with them.

There is a saying that goes: Violence is not enough to solve everything, but it is enough to solve you.

Of course, Leng Yuanxun didn't know the anxious battle between Murong Li and the Red Lotus Sect. If he knew that Chen Xiucheng used such despicable means to defend the city, he might even have the heart to cut the other party into pieces.

Yeah, so what?
The Northern Li Emperor looked at the calm and unhurried Leng Yuanxun in front of him, and suddenly felt a little jealous. This young man is by no means as stupid as the current Emperor of the Central Plains and greedy for pleasure, nor as useless as Murong Jing and Murong Li. If he is in charge of the country , they are afraid that for a long time, they will never have the chance to enter the Central Plains.

But Leng Yuanxun grabbed his lifeline first, leaving him no room to refute.

The best choice is to agree to his request and solve the crisis in the racecourse first.

Thinking like this, the Northern Li Emperor was about to agree, but seeing the Northern Li Empress who had been looking at Leng Yuanxun, she seemed to have just recovered, and whispered: "You are very similar to your father."

Forehead?
The abnormal expression of Empress Beili when she saw Leng Yuanxun for the first time already made Emperor Beili feel a little strange, but his mind was on the racecourse, and he didn't have time to think about it. Now that he heard such words again, he couldn't help blurting out: " Queen, what are you talking about?"

Could it be that there is some relationship between the Queen and Marquis of Huaiyang?
As soon as this idea flashed through the mind of the Northern Li emperor, he rejected it. He had never heard the empress mention it for so many years, so it should be impossible.

Empress Beili didn't answer her husband's question, but just calmed down a little, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to talk to them alone, and I will explain the whole story to you later, is that okay?"

The Northern Li Emperor loves the Empress deeply, and has always responded to every request, but he was a little worried, "They..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, they won't hurt your concubines." Empress Bei Li gave Qu Lingxu a gentle look, and there was a kind of trust in her eyes.

"Then... alright." Seeing his wife's affirmation, the Northern Li Emperor didn't insist anymore, he just got up and left the hall.

As for whether he really left at ease or stayed outside the hall, it is unknown.

"Girl, tell me the truth, Chen'er is not in danger of her life, is she?" For some reason, since Qu Lingxu saved her life last time, Empress Beili has always treated her with an extraordinary feeling. Trust, and because of this, she did not believe that Qu Lingxu would really kill Baili Haochen.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince's life will be fine, and he will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"En." Empress Beili nodded, and then she showed her face and looked at Leng Yuanxun, sighing with both admiration and pity: "My child, after all these years, I have suffered for you after all."

Bearing such a heavy shackle at such a young age, this is really not an easy task for a young man who is only weak.

Hearing the queen's words, Qu Lingxu explained to Leng Yuanxun: "The queen's aunt, the former prince and mother were close friends when they were young. Over the years, the empress has been investigating the truth of the past, in order to vindicate the former prince. "

This time, Qu Lingxu did not directly address the empress, but deliberately emphasized the word "aunt". Leng Yuanxun obviously knew the identity of the queen of Beili, but he didn't expect her relationship with the first prince, so he was a little confused After a while, he slowed down his tone, "Until now, in the eyes of the world, he is just a traitor and traitor who forced his dying father to death, that's all."

"He's not!" Empress Beili interrupted Leng Yuanxun excitedly. She has always been a gentle woman with a kind face, but at this moment, she felt a little more ferocious for no reason, "You are the blood of the prince's brother. , is his closest and dearest person, you must trust him, and not fight for the throne for your own ambition!"

The sincere brother-sister friendship when she was young is the eternal warmth in Empress Beili's heart. She believes that that gentle and jade-like man is the best person in the world, and no one can tarnish his reputation in front of her.

Even if that person is his son.

Even if he said this, he was just a little angry.

"Isn't it?" Leng Yuanxun stared fixedly at Empress Beili, as if he wanted to see her heart, and after a while he whispered: "With your trust, father...he will be very happy under the Nine Springs .”
