Chapter 37: Smooth out the injustice when you see it [Seeking follow-up reading]

"Be bold!"

Shui Mei was so angry that she raised her slender hand and tried to slap him on the face, but Wei Mingqi grabbed her hand in the middle and said jokingly:
"You can't stand the same words being said to the Holy Queen? I don't know if it's because you are more noble or you are used to talking nonsense."

"you--"

"Wei Mingqi, if you want to do something good for the Regent, then let the Queen go!"

As the noise came out, an old woman suddenly floated in from outside the hall and tried to stop them. She was dressed in black, with arms that were almost knee-length, and her footwork was superb, moving as silently as a ghost.

Wei Mingqi looked at her, but his words remained fierce and rebellious: "An old man is an old man, what does it have to do with you?"

"Aren't you eating government food now?"

"Not a single grain of food I eat is earned for free. If you don't like me, you can go and tell that old man to strip me of my official title."

"..."

Wei Mingqi had never felt the slightest bit of gratitude towards this so-called 'Holy Queen'. If it weren't for the old eunuch and his own hidden value, just with the words 'the Queen Mother is worried', he would have added the imperial court to his list of enemies five years ago.

"Good, good, good! This is the good grandson that Wanrenshan has trained for the country—"

The woman he caught gnashed her teeth, staring at him with her fox eyes: "If I had known this day would come, I would have killed you and your master together--"

Snapped!
A crisp sound was heard.

Not to mention the two people in front of him, even Shi Fengque next to him was stunned, staring at the red mark on the fat skin with his watery eyes without blinking.

"you you,,"

The fox looked at him with dazed eyes.

Wei Mingqi raised his chin towards her with a cold face: "Say something else, I'm listening."

"..."

It was unknown whether this slap on the face of the Holy Queen would have ended the situation for Wei Mingqi, but as a martial artist, he would have to be beaten to make him feel angry. At worst, blood would splatter within five steps and the whole world would be in mourning.

The hall was silent for a while; even the old woman remained silent and dared not utter a word.

"I was wrong."

Suddenly, the red and swollen but still bright face in front of me blossomed like a peony:

"It is true that I did something unkind, no wonder you are angry. Forget it, if you don't want to marry me, then don't marry me. Anyway, the title you get is just a little higher. Lord Wan also thinks so, but after all, I am a woman, and I am a little petty after all."

Looking at the charming and attractive beauty in palace dress, Wei Mingqi looked deep in the eyes and slowly let go of her wrist.

"I'll watch you do it."

"Well, young man, please teach me a lesson."

As she spoke, she rubbed her red wrist, turned around and signaled to the old woman not far away: "Go back, I will go back and reflect on myself."

"..."

Wei Mingqi watched her quietly walk to the door, then stopped as expected, turned back suddenly with a pair of fox eyes:

"Kill him for me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman with her hands behind her back beside her suddenly "floated" towards Wei Mingqi like the wind, raising a pair of skinny and unusually long arms, revealing inch-long jade-like nails.

Suddenly,

There was a long sigh outside the palace.

"Queen, please go back."

"..."

The old woman's figure, which was like flying catkins, suddenly stopped as if frozen in time. Then she put her hands down and returned to the side of the stiff beauty, bowing her head towards the door:

"Wang Gong."

But no one came in from outside the door.

Seeing this, the fox eyes suddenly became misty, and the stiff smile could no longer be held back.
"Wangong, have you been here all this time?"

"You watched with your own eyes that disrespectful kid humiliating me like this?" "..."

There was silence again, and the beauty sat there for a moment to digest the news, then suddenly wiped the back of her hand and forced a smile:

"Go back."

When she and the old woman left, no one came in from the door. Wei Mingqi knew that the old eunuch was waiting for him, so he didn't want to make things difficult for him. He turned around and said goodbye to Shi Fengque:

"gone."

After saying that, he left.

Shi Fengque held the word "thank you" in his mouth and watched his back disappear into the distance. Although he had luckily escaped a disaster, he didn't feel too happy in his heart.

This little thief even dared to contradict the Queen Mother for her.

With such lawlessness, can she still escape from the other party?
Moreover, she had offended the other party so much that she didn't know if this little thief would be in trouble in the future. Although it was not her responsibility to worry about it...

But today he stood up for himself.

"Meow~"

The black cat came back from foraging and rubbed against her feet. Shi Fengque picked it up in confusion: "You, you are really——"

After a pause, she bit her red lips and said:
"What's going on?"

"Meow."

Wei Mingqi and Wan Renshan walked side by side on the long, desolate palace road. The latter looked at the roof tiles of the palace covered with dead grass and sighed:

"When Fengque was first built, it was so luxurious and magnificent. In just over ten years, it has fallen into decline so quickly. It's a pity that Jingzong was also a brave and talented young man."

"..."

Wei Mingqi had no interest in the deceased old man, and he was also full of doubts at this moment: "Since you were here just now, why didn't you come out and let that woman go crazy in front of me."

"This is what I envy you for."

Wan Renshan said with a hint of old age for the first time: "There are some things you can do but I can't. I can't even say too much, otherwise I will become more than just a slave."

"..."

Wei Mingqi understood, so he couldn't help but feel a little pity for the old eunuch: "Fortunately I didn't listen to your nonsense. If it really came to this, I probably wouldn't live to your age."

After that, he raised his chin and said proudly:
"When everything is settled, I will take my master and live far away from the martial arts world. I will fight against injustice when I encounter it, and I will draw my sword only to speak for the people. Then you can watch me take revenge."

"……hehe"

The old eunuch smiled softly, as if he couldn't bear to see him do well: "Didn't you promise His Majesty that you would help her achieve something?"

"how do you know?"

"Her Majesty boasted to me personally. I haven't seen her so happy in years."

"..."

While thinking about what a happy little kid looks like, Wei Mingqi put his hands behind his back and said casually, "If I want to enjoy the world, I have to make it what I like. So before I leave, I have to sweep the world with my sword."

Hearing this, even Wanrenshan was stunned for a moment.

"He does have some heroic spirit."

"I thought you were just being angry for your beloved."

Wei Mingqi twitched the corner of his mouth.

What a joke, that's his 'Aunt Shi', why does everyone around him have a stereotype about him?
"I just couldn't bear to watch it, and I did it for the sake of investigating the case."

Wei Mingqi said in a tone that sounded like he was doing it for the country and the people: "I have already made some progress on the case in the southwest, but I need the cooperation of the palace. In two days, I will let Shi Fengque leave the palace to visit his relatives as the Queen Mother said. Is that okay?"

"You are the one investigating the case."

Wan Renshan did not ask about the details, but instead talked about another matter:

"This morning, the spy in the southwest sent back a message. I'm telling you this. Please keep it secret and don't tell anyone else."
