The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Emperor Ning Cheng sat in the imperial study, his expression was cold and he was reviewing the memorials at a very fast speed. His handsome face was not as gentle as before, but rather a chilly one, which made the maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial study all silent and afraid to say anything.

Several eunuchs and maids who had been serving in the imperial study and were also used by Emperor Ning Cheng kept winking at Li Dezhong, signaling him to think of a solution quickly, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the coldness of His Majesty.

Li Dezhong's eyelids were tightly closed, not lifting a bit, as if he didn't see the eyes of these people. What could he do? His Majesty was so angry that he didn't dare to go up and provoke the tiger's whiskers!

To him, His Majesty's mind has become more and more difficult to predict recently. Although he is still calm and solemn in handling government affairs on weekdays, as if it is no different from before, but in private, he is colder and more ruthless day by day, making them all silent.

In fact, Li Dezhong still had some doubts in his heart that His Majesty was like this because of Xu Gengyi's matter, but he dared only think about it in his heart, but did not dare to speak it out, because it was obvious that His Majesty was not in a good mood and was still angry, and he was not in a hurry to ask for trouble.

However, Li Dezhong could not help but sigh in his heart. Before, His Majesty demoted Xu Gengyi, and he thought Xu Gengyi had fallen? But she did not look like she had fallen. His Majesty was so emotional because of her, and the harem had been ignoring her.

Although Xu Gengyi was angry now, if one day he was no longer angry, this Xu Gengyi was also a great figure in the harem. Li Dezhong was silently relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he did not add insult to injury!

After putting down the last memorial, Emperor Ning Cheng sat back on the dragon chair, with a trace of fatigue between his brows. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, and ordered in a light tone: "Li Dezhong, go and summon the left and right court officials of the Imperial Hospital."

Li Dezhong bowed and whispered: "Yes, Your Majesty." As he reported, he quietly left the Imperial Study, found two clever eunuchs to run errands, and then quietly returned to the Imperial Study to stand in his original position, ready to be called at any time.

Emperor Ning Cheng seemed very tired, and he kept leaning on the dragon chair and resting his mind. The entire Imperial Study was very quiet. There was no other sound except for the slight breathing sound. The silence was so frightening.

It was not until the arrival of the two imperial doctors with the best medical skills in the Imperial Hospital that the silence in the Imperial Study was broken. The two imperial doctors were obviously in a hurry, with fine sweat on their foreheads, carrying suitcases on their backs, and walking in hurriedly with their heads buried.

"Your Majesty, the two imperial doctors have arrived." Seeing the imperial doctors arrive, Emperor Ning Cheng was still resting his eyes, and Li Dezhong could not help but step forward and remind him softly.

As if awakened, Emperor Ning Cheng trembled all over, and then opened his eyes, with a few strands of confusion in his eyes. Slowly sitting up, Emperor Ning Cheng glanced at the imperial doctors, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Come and feel my pulse."

The two imperial doctors were both confused. The health of your majesty is a big deal. The Imperial Hospital also takes the pulse every two days. They just took the pulse yesterday afternoon. Why did your majesty summon them again today? Could it be... your majesty feels unwell?

Thinking of this, they were all shocked, and then immediately stepped forward to take the pulse. No matter what, if there is a problem with your majesty's health, the imperial doctors of their Imperial Hospital can't escape! It's about the dragon's body, so they have to be more vigilant.

With his white beard trembling, Zuo Yuanzheng placed his fingers on the wrist of Emperor Ning Cheng, which was exposed by his sleeves rolled up. He squinted his eyes and carefully distinguished the pulse. He carefully felt the pulse for a while and finally had a general idea of ​​Emperor Ning Cheng's health. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he was puzzled by Emperor Ning Cheng's attitude.

Zuo Yuanzheng hesitated and looked up at Emperor Ning Cheng's slightly gloomy face, then whispered: "Your Majesty is in good health, there is no problem." Checking the pulse twice a day, as long as there is no accident, what can be wrong with your Majesty's health?

Emperor Ning Cheng had a noncommittal expression on his face, just hummed casually, and then said: "You Yuanzheng, come forward to check my pulse." Although he did not comment on his face, Emperor Ning Cheng had his own thoughts in his heart, but he never showed it.

However, after the Right Court Director had carefully examined Emperor Ning Cheng's pulse, he hesitated. After looking at the Left Court Director, the tacit understanding of their long-term colleagues allowed them to understand each other's expressions.

The Right Court Director coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, after a careful pulse examination, I have confirmed that you are in good health." With a look of emotion and gratitude, he bowed his hands and said, "It seems that God has blessed our Great Ning, and has given you such a healthy body. Your Majesty, your dragon is healthy, so that you can protect the people of Great Ning."

Emperor Ning Cheng did not care about the flattering words of the Right Court Director. He just frowned, glanced at the two doctors, and said in a deep voice, "Is my body really fine? Can't find even a little problem? Then... How was your pulse a month ago? "

The two directors looked at each other, and then the left director, who had better medical skills, reported: "That's true. After your Majesty's reminder, we did find that your pulse was much healthier than it was more than a month ago. I think you have taken good care of yourself in this month."

Speaking of this, the left director was actually very confused. The two directors of the Imperial Hospital were responsible for diagnosing Emperor Ning Cheng's pulse, but they all knew that they had not prescribed any medicinal diet prescriptions for the emperor recently. His Majesty's improvement in health was probably not related to them.

"I understand. You can go down." Emperor Ning Cheng's frowning brows relaxed slightly. He had no intention of listening to the two doctors talking about medical skills and reporting to him. He dismissed them directly.

After the two doctors left, Emperor Ning Cheng sighed with a complicated look in his eyes: "It seems that he did not lie." Emperor Ning Cheng's mood was very complicated and confused. He almost didn't know how to face Xu Qingning. This confusion made him very irritable and he couldn't calm down until now.

In fact, at this point, Emperor Ning Cheng was not angry about Xu Qingtian's escape from home. He was more entangled because his beloved concubine, who had been pampered for more than a month, suddenly turned into a man, and was told that the harmony of the past month was actually a dream.

This emotion was the source of his anger and entanglement. As for the anger at the Xu family's crime of deceiving the emperor, and the fear and shock of being drugged, they were actually not related to these emotions. Because the former was what Emperor Ning Cheng disliked and disliked, and the latter, the words of the two imperial doctors just now had confirmed that what Xu Qingning reported to him was true.

This made Emperor Ning Cheng even more entangled, not knowing whether to punish severely or forgive. Although he had no love for Xu Qingning after knowing the truth, the strange trust that he himself did not even notice was silently playing a role, making it impossible for him to really do anything to Xu Qingning.

In fact, Xuanyuan took the initiative to tell the truth instead of finding it out himself, and this behavior has slightly reduced Emperor Ning Cheng's anger. As for whether Xuanyuan's actions violated the original owner's wish to conceal his identity from being discovered -

Sorry, Xuanyuan took the initiative to expose and consciously admitted it, and was not "discovered" by "someone", so it is not a violation in the strict sense. Besides, as long as the Xu family can be saved and the entire Xu family is not executed, I think Xu Qingning will not have any objections.

Xuanyuan took the initiative to confess, and the report from the imperial physician confirmed that what he said was true. In this case, Emperor Ning Cheng focused his attention on another thing he said before. The Xiongnu envoys came with bad intentions? Is this true or false? Where did Xu Qingning get the news from?

Emperor Ning Cheng frowned slightly, and he tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, and ordered in a calm voice: "Announce the Minister of Rites and the leader of the Imperial Guard." The Ministry of Rites is responsible for entertaining foreign envoys entering the capital, and the Imperial Guard is in charge of the government offices in the capital and protects the safety of the capital. This is related to the safety of foreign envoys entering the capital, so naturally they will go to him.

In his heart, Emperor Ning Cheng actually believed this news a little. Although he ascended the throne according to the will of the previous emperor, it can be said that he was legitimate, but he has been on the throne for only one year. It is not surprising that foreigners despise him because of this, or even secretly have some thoughts.

Most importantly, he knew that last winter there were heavy snowstorms, and several tribes on the grassland were probably affected by the snowstorm, and their lives were not good. Life on the grassland was not easy, so they naturally planned to rely on their old skills to rob, and the rich and powerful Daning was their goal.

However, Emperor Ning Cheng did not really believe that the Huns would assassinate him. Not to mention how strict the guards of the palace were, even if they really succeeded by chance, what would it be? The Huns killed him, and Daning's successor, no matter which son of his, would not let the Huns go.

Although his current sons were still young, they would not be able to control power even if they ascended the throne.

It was afternoon, and the Minister of Rites and the commander of the Imperial Guards quickly followed the eunuch who announced the decree to the palace, and went straight into the imperial study to meet Emperor Ning Cheng.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." After the Minister of Rites and the commander of the Imperial Guards paid their respects, they slowly stood up when Emperor Ning Cheng called them, and then stood in front of the imperial table with their hands behind their backs, waiting for Emperor Ning Cheng's orders. Although they didn't know why he was so anxious to call them into the palace, they didn't dare to ask, let alone look around.

Although Emperor Ning Cheng had not been on the throne for long, he was already the crown prince that everyone expected before he ascended the throne. How could ordinary officials ignore his power? Being able to suppress the officials of the previous dynasty, it was obvious that Emperor Ning Cheng was not a good-tempered person.

"Li Qingjia, are the Xiongnu envoys still well-behaved in the courtyard where they are placed?" Emperor Ning Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the Minister of Rites, and asked in a calm tone.

Minister of Rites Li Yunli was slightly startled. Why did His Majesty suddenly care about the envoys to the Xiongnu? However, although he was surprised, he quickly replied: "To reply to Your Majesty, the Xiongnu envoys are very well-behaved and have not caused anything."
