Chapter 109 Why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself?
The second slap was given by Su Heting.
After beating her, he rubbed Qiao Xi's hand with heartache, "Why do you need to do such rough work? Just let your husband know."
His tone was very flattering, as if he was completely dazzled by beauty.
Marquis Changning was so angry that he fell backwards.
He had never suffered such a great humiliation before, and he angrily said, "King of Jiangbei, I am an official appointed by the court. You assault an official appointed by the court at will. This is simply too much."
Even if he wanted to welcome the King of Jiangbei back, he couldn't swallow this anger in vain.
Otherwise, how could he convince the people on his way back to Beijing, and how could he gain a foothold in the capital in the future?
"Please give me an explanation, or I will report this to your majesty. I beg you to help me seek justice."
Su Heting glanced at him and said, "Are you saying that the emperor is incompetent and hypocritical?"
Marquis Changning's eyelids twitched, "King of Jiangbei, stop making random accusations."
Su Heting was too lazy to talk to him and glanced at Chen Shan.
Chen Shan understood and acted as a substitute, "My prince is the emperor's son, and the princess is the emperor's daughter-in-law.
You are trying to sow discord between the prince and his wife, and frame the emperor's daughter-in-law, yet you still say that the emperor will uphold justice for you. Doesn't this mean that the emperor cannot distinguish right from wrong and is incompetent?
Everyone says that the Emperor values Princess Chaoyang, but you bullied our Princess and said that the Emperor would help you. Doesn't that mean that the Emperor's kindness to the Princess was fake and that he was being hypocritical? "
Marquis Changning felt that he was not a person who was not good at speaking, but he was so shocked that he didn't know how to refute.
Upon closer examination, it was indeed he who instigated the conflict first.
If he insisted that the emperor would uphold justice for him, he would only confirm the emperor's reputation as a hypocrite and incompetent.
Although he had learned from Cao Ying that the emperor was not sincere in his feelings for the couple, he could not say this openly.
If he changed his words, he would have received those two slaps in vain.
But how could he accept this? He glared and said, "You know very well that this is not what I meant at all. You were the ones who deceived me first."
Su Heting didn't even look at him, pulling Qiao Xi around and saying, "We haven't even been to the capital yet, and the princess has already suffered such a great injustice. It doesn't matter if we don't go to the capital. Chenshan, show us out!"
Marquis Changning was carried out of the Northern Prince's Palace by the guards.
He was seriously injured in Chunfeng Tower a few days ago, and today he pretended to be fine and went to the King of Jiangbei's Palace to ask for help.
He was very angry at first, and then was slapped in the face by Qiao Xi and his wife, leaving him physically and mentally hurt.
When he heard Su Heting directly refuse to return to Beijing, he felt a little more afraid.
Before leaving, the emperor instructed him to bring the person back without fail, saying that if he failed to complete this mission, he would definitely not have a good ending.
But how could he know that Qiao Xi, this vixen, could not stand Su Heting's protection.
He was even willing to give up on recognizing his ancestors. You know, if Su Heting went back to fight for it, he might really be able to inherit the throne.
Seeing that Su Heting was determined to leave, he couldn't let go of his pride for a moment, so he had to pretend to faint first and then think of a way.
On the other side, Changsheng followed behind Qiao Xi and asked, "Sister, are you really not going back to the capital?"
His sister is happier in northern Xinjiang than in Beijing, and he feels it’s good if she doesn’t go back.
Qiao Xi said, "I want it back."
My fourth brother is in the capital, and my enemies are also in the capital, so how could I not go back?
Su Heting said this simply because he knew the emperor's purpose in asking him to return to the capital, and he was fearless and deliberately trying to make things difficult for Marquis Changning.
He also wanted to let the emperor know how much he, Su Heting, valued Qiao Xi.
In this way, when she arrives in the capital, even if the emperor becomes suspicious of her, he will not easily touch her until he has used Su Heting enough because of his appreciation for her.
Su Heting was defending her.
Changsheng didn't know this, and he uttered a low "oh" sound, feeling a little disappointed.
Su Heting hadn't held Qiao Xi's hand for several days. Taking advantage of the opportunity just now, he hadn't let go yet, so he deliberately sent him away. "I got a new set of sword secrets, and asked Chen Shan to give it to you."
When Yongshou heard this, he knew that his brother-in-law found them an eyesore, so he took Changsheng and followed Chenshan away.
Seeing that there was no one around, Qiao Xi tried to break free from his hand, but Su Heting held it tightly.
Knowing that she couldn't break free, she decided not to waste her energy. In front of Su Heting, she couldn't make any waves.
Unexpectedly, when she went to bed at night, Su Heting's quilt disappeared, and he shamelessly crawled into her bed.
The beautiful excuse is, "It's cold, I'll warm your bed."
Qiao Xi hit him, "I'm not cold."
As a martial artist, she can circulate her internal energy to dispel the cold.
But he didn't kick the person out of the bed.
In fact, after a few days, the shame and anger dissipated.
She knew very well that Su Heting had been giving in to her in the past few days, otherwise even if her bed was locked, he would have found a way.
Seeing that she had finally relaxed, Su Heting hugged her waist tightly, letting her press against him, entwining their limbs. "You are so good, my Xibaoer."
Days like this are great.
Even when she had a little quarrel with him, he felt that such a life was real and solid.
Qiao Xi had previously sacrificed herself to appease him, so now she didn't dare to talk about life with him again.
She just pinched his face mischievously, making his pretty face into all kinds of funny shapes.
"You are a bandit bastard who doesn't keep his word. It's best if you continue your banditry even in the capital and don't let anyone know you are the crown prince."
He clearly promised her that he wouldn't mess around.
Su Heting closed his eyes, enjoying her manipulation, and kissed her lightly on the lips, "Listen to my wife, I won't let anyone see any clues."
As for the accusations in Qiao Xi's words, he felt that his silly girl would understand one day.
Su Heting was content to sleep with Qiao Xi in his arms. "Xi'er, before you leave, come with me to the military camp and the border checkpoints so that the soldiers can recognize you. From now on, your orders will be like mine."
He was used to taking care of everything for Qiao Xi. Although he was confident about going to the capital this time, he was always prepared for the worst.
If something goes wrong in the capital, he will try to send Qiao Xi back to northern Xinjiang and let the northern Xinjiang army protect her for the rest of her life.
Qiao Xi instantly understood his thoughts and bit his lip, "Wherever you are, I am there."
Su Heting smiled, "Of course, but we must also let the soldiers meet their mistress. What's mine is yours."
Afterwards, he told Qiao Xi in detail about his plans on the road and returning to Beijing.
The couple talked about serious matters for half the night and then fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Marquis Changning did not come to visit.
Su Heting took Qiao Xi to the Xinjiang North Camp, let the entire Xinjiang North Army know their princess, and then took her to patrol the entire border line.
When Marquis Changning heard the news, he was so angry that he felt a bittersweet taste in his throat.
It would take at least two or three days to patrol the entire border.
In order to make things difficult for him, Su Heting and the others even deliberately did not come back, but continued to travel to other places.
But in order to show his fatherly kindness, the emperor only sent him to pick up the person, but did not issue an imperial decree requiring Su Heting to go to the capital.
"They did it on purpose. They must have done it on purpose."
Marquis Changning slammed the table angrily.
Cui Li, the palace steward who came with him and was the emperor's man, saw this and advised, "Even if they did it on purpose, His Majesty is waiting in the palace, so the Marquis still needs to think of a solution."
Cui Li just wanted to take the person back to the palace smoothly, but he didn't expect that Marquis Changning offended the person as soon as he arrived, and he was a little annoyed.
"I am not wrong. Qiao Xi had been deliberately harassing my son in the palace before.
As soon as she left the palace, she hooked up with the King of Jiangbei, and she also kept several young men around her. How could she be a decent girl? "
Marquis Changning said harshly, "It must have been him who instigated the King of Jiangbei to leave the palace."
She had to find a way to ruin Qiao Xi's reputation and make Su Heting dislike her.
Cui Li had been in the palace for many years and immediately guessed that he was planning to mess up again, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know what grudges there are between Marquis Changning and Princess Zhaoyang, but I advise Marquis Changning not to ruin His Majesty's business.
If His Majesty blames us later, I'm afraid the Marquisate won't be able to bear it. My Lord, please think about whether personal grudges are more important or the future of the Marquisate."
He had developed a smooth character in the palace and was unwilling to offend anyone easily, but he really looked down on Marquis Changning for his confused look.
This is the territory of the King of Xinjiang North. If he could really do something, he wouldn't be in this dilemma today.
It would be better to coax the person back first, finish the task, and then discuss other things after gaining the favor of His Majesty.
