Chapter 313 - 313 Making New Friends
313 Making New Friends
When the new emperor, Yi Chi’s son, heard this news, Yi Xuan almost smashed the table. His young face was filled with anger, but he was helpless. After all, this was the truth. How would the people view him? He was Yi Chi’s son. Would the world think that he was just as much of a coward…
Of course, there were also people who took the opportunity to mention the Regent. They said that Yi Chulin should have gone to Qiao Yanhui to seek justice. After all, other than Yi Chulin, no one else could handle the matter. However, this made Yi Xuan’s expression even uglier. He was the king. But even so, he understood that he couldn’t let this matter rest. Otherwise, what would the world think of him? Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and send a message to Yi Chulin.
Unexpectedly, he couldn’t find Yi Chulin at all!
Yi Xuan was a little flustered. Could it be that Yi Chulin didn’t want to be in charge anymore? Although he felt that this was good in the long-term, it wasn’t beneficial in this current situation…
Despite Yi Xuan’s qualms, Yi Chulin had disappeared completely.
…
Xu Qing also received the news and looked at the limping Xun Fen, who nodded.
Xu Qing scolded Qiao Yanhui for being so foolish and impulsive. He was determined to risk his life to resolve the obstacles for her and the children. Xu Qing believed that after Qiao Yanhui finished dealing with this side’s matters, he would definitely rush back to the Ancient Kingdom to deal with the remaining obstacles.
Although his poison didn’t affect the increase in his internal energy and was temporarily controlled, this time was different from previous ones. It was very likely that his poison would suddenly erupt at some point and make Qiao Yanhui suffer immense pain. At that time, he would be at the mercy of others.
“Xun Fen, you should go recuperate too,” Xu Qing said in a low voice as she looked at Xun Fen, who was walking with difficulty.
Xun Fen froze, but then she smiled bitterly. They had not protected Xu Qing well. However, Xu Qing didn’t blame them and even treated them as soon as she woke up.
This time, they had suffered heavy losses. More than half of Xu Qing’s people and Qiao Yanhui’s subordinates had died, and the rest were seriously injured. They wouldn’t be able to recover in the short term. Even Yuan’er and the others were still unconscious. It was obvious how many powerhouses the Lin family had sent this time.
As Xun Fen limped out, Qiao Yi stared at her with heartache and supported Xun Fen with his heavily injured body.
Xun Fen stiffened a little. Just as she was about to shake him off, she heard Qiao Yi say indifferently, “Do you want to be bedridden again?” In their current state, it was difficult for them to even walk, let alone push people.
Xun Fen retracted her hand awkwardly and let Qiao Yi hold her.
Among the girls, only she could stand up now. The others were still bedridden. Teng Nian looked at the two of them who were supporting each other with joy in her eyes. Actually, she and Qiao Er had liked each other for a long time. However, she was worried that Xun Fen would be dissatisfied. Now that Xun Fen had accepted Qiao Yi, she felt at ease.
When Xun Fen saw that her gals were all looking at her, she blushed. This might be the first time she, a dignified assassin, had ever felt shy. She didn’t regain her composure even until Qiao Yi left.
Teng Nian couldn’t help but say, “Sis, no one knows our identities. Just like Madam said, we have to live a carpe diem life. Besides, enjoying our lives doesn’t mean we have to separate from Madam.”
Xun Fen bit her lip. When she thought of Qiao Yi’s expression, she made a decision.
Seeing this, Teng Nian didn’t say anything else.
…
Xu Qing went to check on the three children. After ensuring that they were fine, she felt a little relieved. This was their dereliction as parents. The children were still so young, but what they had experienced was something that many people would never experience in their lives.
After Xu Qing checked on them, she tiptoed away, but she didn’t expect to see Yi Chuxiang and Qi Shizhong in the courtyard.
“You guys are injured, but instead of lying at home, you guys are out here in the cold wind?” If not for Yi Chuxiang and her husband’s protection, the children definitely wouldn’t just be injured.
Yi Chuxiang waved her hand. “These injuries are nothing serious to us.”
Without replying, Xu Qing took their pulses. After confirming that there were no major problems, she was relieved.
“Your medical skills are better than Ying Zhiyao’s, so we recovered very quickly,” Yi Chuxiang praised.
“In terms of poison techniques, I’m inferior to her.” Xu Qing smiled calmly. She felt that her only gain from the trip to New Heavenly Kingdom was befriending Yi Chuxiang.
Yi Chuxiang said with a smile, “My brother seems to have completely relinquished all his power. He actually didn’t come after such a big thing happened. In the past, he would have strangled the emperor and asked him how he dared to do this…”
“Don’t worry, he won’t abandon New Heavenly Kingdom. He still has to give Ying Zhiyao a stable home,” Xu Qing said. After all, if the country was unstable, how could there be a home?
