Chapter 115 Beating Cao Ying
Chapter 115 Beating Cao Ying
Qiao Xi's eyes flickered slightly.
Wu Tong and Lu Jiang were both sent by Cao Ying to monitor her, and Wu Tong was killed by her.
When she was in northern Xinjiang, she was able to get Lu Jiang to imitate Wu Tong's handwriting and deceive Cao Ying.
But now that she has returned to the capital, Wu Tong, who was monitoring her, should naturally return to the capital as well.
He didn't come back, and Cao Ying found out that Lin Yuanbo's death was related to her, so it was expected that Cao Ying would suspect her.
However, Qiao Xi did not think Cao Ying had any evidence.
Otherwise, Cao Ying would have presented the evidence directly to the emperor instead of testing her here.
Qiao Xi's expression was calm. "I don't quite understand what Manager Cao is trying to say."
She took a step closer to Cao Ying. "Butler Cao seems very hostile to me. When have I ever offended you?"
Cao Ying stared at Qiao Xi.
Of course Qiao Xi offended her.
Her Bixiang died, but this woman returned to the capital alive.
Because of Qiao Xi's instigation, she was no longer a confidant of the emperor. He killed her daughter and ruined her future, and they had an irreconcilable blood feud.
She told Marquis Changning the truth about what happened and wanted him to deal with Qiao Xi, but Marquis Changning died.
Ji Chuan also suffered a strange defeat.
And none of the spies she sent out came back to report.
She was certain that Qiao Xi was behind this and that Qiao Xi had defected to Su Heting.
But she had no evidence.
However, she has someone that Qiao Xi cares about in her hand, which is equivalent to holding Qiao Xi's lifeline.
Sooner or later, she will make Qiao Xi fall into irreparable destruction.
Cao Ying suddenly smiled. She moved closer to Qiao Xi, her eyes full of malice. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Princess. I was just joking with you."
So what if there is no evidence? Qiao Xi has now returned to the capital, right under her nose. Her death is only a matter of time.
Cao Ying was very sure that he had this ability.
"Although you are a eunuch, you are not a real woman after all. Talking to my princess like this is too frivolous and disrespectful. I do not like it."
Su Heting's lazy voice came from behind.
Cao Ying quickly turned around and saw a tall man with outstanding appearance slowly walking away. His face was indeed very similar to the portrait of Empress Dowager Su.
However, the scar on this man's face, illuminated by the palace lantern, showed its sharpness and murderous aura, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.
Cao Ying was not mistaken, the sharp blade would soon hit her.
Su Heting raised his hand and punched her in the face. Before Cao Ying could say anything, half of her face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye under Su Heting's iron fist.
And then another kick.
Su Heting did not hold back his strength, and Cao Ying was kicked onto the stone wall of the rockery, and then fell heavily.
She was lying on the ground with her face facing sideways, and the side of her face that fell to the ground was the intact side. When she raised her head with difficulty, her entire face was completely disfigured.
Blood oozed from the corner of Cao Ying's mouth. She pointed at Su Heting and said, "King of Jiangbei, you..."
You are too arrogant.
After all, she was the chief steward of the imperial court and a concubine in the harem, and even the other princes treated her with courtesy.
Su Heting actually dared to humiliate her like this in the palace.
she……
she……
she……
But before she could finish her words, Su Heting walked over and kicked her again, "I hate it most when other men get close to the princess, even eunuchs are not allowed. Stay away from the princess from now on."
The kick seemed to have no power, but only Cao Ying knew that Su Heting used hidden strength.
Her internal organs seemed to have moved because of this kick. Cao Ying could no longer hold on and fainted.
The noise here was soon heard by the emperor. When the emperor came out, he saw Cao Ying lying on the ground, unconscious. The palace maid next to him wanted to help him but did not dare to step forward.
Su Heting picked up Qiao Xi and said in a nearly roaring voice, "You bastard, I've told you so many times to tell me if you get bullied.
In northern Xinjiang, I never let you suffer any injustice. Now that you have returned to Beijing and recognized me as your father, you have become successful. How can you be bullied by a eunuch slave in your own home?
You've completely disgraced me. If I'd known you were such a glutton, I should have hung you by the waistband."
The emperor saw Qiao Xi's feet lifted off the ground, she was having difficulty breathing, and was scolded in public. She didn't know if it was because she was holding it in or because she was ashamed, but her face turned red and tears came out.
Su Heting seemed to be reluctant, and finally put the man back to the ground, holding him tightly in his arms, but he said dissatisfiedly, "You little bastard, sooner or later you will torture me to death."
He was tall and Qiao Xi had a petite figure, and he seemed to be trapped in her arms.
It was probably because he behaved rudely and hugged her too tightly. Qiao Xi's mouth and nose were blocked by his chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. She was struggling with all her might.
But Su Heting, the reckless man, was completely unaware and said, "Be good and don't act like a spoiled brat."
The emperor suddenly felt a little pity for Qiao Xi.
He was also afraid that the commander of the secret factory, whom he had painstakingly trained, would be suffocated to death in the arms of the careless Su Heting.
He hurriedly said, "If you don't let her go, she will suffocate to death."
Su Heting finally reacted and quickly let go of her. He cupped Qiao Xi's face with both hands and said, "Let me see if you're okay."
Qiao Xi's eyes were blurred with tears, and her face was filled with anger, annoyance, and shame. She pushed Su Heting away, covered her face and ran away.
Su Heting didn't understand what he meant. "You little thing, you only dare to confront me. Sooner or later, I will peel off your skin."
After saying this, he said to the emperor, "Father, I will go and see what this woman is doing. I will definitely give her a good lesson."
The emperor was speechless.
Although the Qiao family is a family of military generals, they are also a prominent family and have always been strict in educating their children.
Later, Qiao Xi was raised by the old-fashioned prince. Not only was she a role model for women, but she was also well-educated, respectable and decent person.
Su Heting hugged her and said those words in front of so many people. How thick-skinned must Qiao Xi be to continue staying here and making a fool of herself.
This rough man had no idea what a girl was thinking and just thought Qiao Xi was being upset.
It's really... vulgar.
The emperor really looked down on his son, but before Su Heting could leave, he stopped him and said, "Come back and tell me what happened."
Su Heting had no choice but to stop and pointed at Cao Ying on the ground and said, "That eunuch, how dare he tease Xier."
The emperor's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Cao Ying is a woman, how could she tease Qiao Xi? I'm afraid there must be something behind it.
"How did she tease you?"
Su Heting snorted, "I don't know what she said to Xier just now, Xier seemed very unhappy.
When I arrived, I only heard this damn eunuch say that she and Xier were joking.
He is just a servant, why is he joking with his master?
He was so close that I saw his face was almost touching Xier's, and he looked extremely obscene.
I am a man, how can I allow another man to treat my woman so frivolously?
So, I couldn't help myself and hit him."
The emperor's face darkened slightly.
It was naturally impossible for Cao Ying to tease Qiao Xi, but she would not approach Qiao Xi for no reason.
The emperor thought of Lin Yuanbo.
Marquis Changning was not a smart man, and he did not have the power to find out the truth in the palace. It was very likely that Cao Ying told him the truth.
The purpose was naturally to let Marquis Changning target Qiao Xi. Cao Ying had a grudge against Qiao Xi, and the emperor had already seen it.
But this was also a kind of check and balance, so he didn't pay much attention to it and only restricted Cao Ying from interfering with Qiao Xi's actions.
It seems that Cao Ying is not only interfering, but he is also doing a lot of things.
Since she hopes that Marquis Changning will kill Qiao Xi, it is impossible for her to not provide any help. Hong Ling and even Chunfeng Tower are probably related to her, and she also concealed the matter of Yu Chan.
The emperor glanced at Cao Ying lying on the ground with dark eyes.
If she really kept assassins in the capital without his knowledge, she deserved to die.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Heting looked a little uneasy, "Father, did this son do something wrong?"
