Exile Queen is Beloved
Chapter 28 - Wizard rumors

After conversing with the queen mother about what had happened in Beiming, the queen mother was immediately furious and immediately entered the cold palace of Queen Qing with Wu Zetian following. They ordered all the servants to no longer serve Qing Er otherwise they would be severely punished. Out of the dozens of servants there were only three left and willingly got whipped twenty times by the queen mother. The queen mother did that to avenge Qing' Er for her treatment of Concubine's servant Wu Zetian.

After punishing the servants and venting it on them. The queen mother and Wu Zetian instantly spread rumors about the emperor who had been bewitched by the outcast queen, Qing'Er. They even slipped a magic spell purchased from the black market into the emperor's bedroom. Also, regarding Qing'Er's affair with Yun Shan who started to be spread by their mercenaries, as if intentionally skinning Qing'Er to the very end.

The punishment of witchcraft users in the Xia Dynasty was severe, namely hanging and rarely received leniency even though they belonged to the royal family.

On the other hand, Liu Qing and Yuan Shi were resting in a tavern and drinking wine with low alcohol levels. Yuan Shi seemed to be enjoying the taste so he repeatedly downed the drink. The more daytime the weather there is getting hotter, due to infertile soil, the intensity of rare rain and also trees that are no longer in that place make the heat even more pronounced, it is very different from the Beiming conditions even though they are close together.

Yuan Shi looked at Qing Er who noticed a hairpick glittering from afar. "Qing' Er, want it?"

Liu Qing shook his head reluctantly. "No need, I still have a couple of jewelry crates that haven't been worn."

"As long as you want even this jewelry around the world I will give you," Yuan Shi said with a smile. Gradually the two got better and no longer bothered the commotion in the horse carriage before.

Qing Er glanced at Yuan Shi while chuckling, laughing at the deathly seduction of this ancient man made her very intrigued but to be honest, she had felt special earlier. In fact, Yuan Shi was a man who had more than thirty concubines in the palace, he was indeed rarely seen with the concubines but according to Qing's 'Er there's no way he'd never spend the night with some of them.

"What else does the queen think? I can read the look on your face that must be thinking about how nonsense I said before, right?" asked Yuan Shi who then downed his glass of wine again.

"Truely, the emperor did have a keen intuition. If I ask for anything other than that jewelry will the emperor still grant it?" qing Er asked with a faint smile.

"What the queen wants I will definitely fulfill, I have even promised you to move to the pavilion after we return to the palace, then remove Liu Bai's punishment and also let the queen take care of the imperial matters." Emperor Yuan Shi elaborated on it with detail.

"The emperor is right, one by one it has been quickly granted. Then, I'll keep it next time but promise you'll grant it one day!" said Qing Er.

"It all depends on what you ask, if you ask for freedom I will definitely not give it if need be I will lock you up so as not to leave my side." in his words implied a stern warning to Qing 'Er.

"Any meeting will have a farewell, when it happens no one knows. You can't forever hold me back from leaving however, I can promise as long as I'm here I will definitely faithfully accompany and help you." Qing Er lowered her head then grabbed her glass of drink which she had only noticed since then and did not dare to drink considering that alcohol could make her drunk even just a little.

Yuan Shi looked at Qing Er and then downed the woman's drink and pulled her chin, she poured the drink from her mouth into the queen's mouth. Making Qing'Er turn her head but their lips still fused well, Yuan Shi let go of her kiss then smiled. "I've already represented the queen to drink it," he said seductively.

"This body cannot withstand alcohol, Yuan Shi!" qing Er growled while pressing her head firmly.

Qing Er furrowed her brows. "You sure? Looks like the inn here doesn't look safe."

"Qing 'Er need not worry, I will protect you" Yuan Shi said.

"We can't waste time here, so it's better to just go home soon because I want to quickly move to the pavilion!" replied Qing Er who was now standing ready to continue the journey.

Before their return, of course, do not forget that Qing Er said goodbye to Liu Bai and promised to convey greetings from the man to her parents. As well as some of the hands Liu Bai had provided for Prime Minister Liu and his wife had been tidy to be immediately taken home by Qing'Er. The Emperor waited for Liu Qing to enter the carriage then the woman opened the window-covering cloth and waved at the Big Brother who was still watching him.

"Be careful, Oldest Brother!" qing Er said with a feeling of sadness.

"See you later, sister!" replied Liu Bai who had come to feel the pain of their farewell.

Qing Er continued to stare at Liu Bai from a distance, as she felt for too long Yuan Shi finally pulled Qing' Er's waist and carried her into her lap. Qing Er furrowed her brows and widened while protesting Yuan Shi's actions.

"Gee! Really looking for a chance in the narrowness!" lui Liu Qing.

"Calm down if you don't want me to act impulsively, I just want you to sit here for a while without even protesting!" Yuan Shi tightly hugged Qing' Er's waist staring at her charming curves.

Liu Qing clasped tightly onto his hidden fist and was ready to wave his two fingers to pierce Yuan Shi's eyes. When it almost hit Yuan Shi's eyes, the hand was immediately restrained by Yuan Shi's large hand grip.

"The queen has always been disrespectful to me, I forgot to tell you. General Ji came home with Wu Zetian's entourage this morning," Yuan Shi said.

"Then, what's the deal with me?" qing Er asked staring at Yuan Shi so closely.

Outside of the carriage, Xiao Yan and Servant Chun could only shake their heads not understanding. Just a few days ago the two masters were making out with each other in the horse-drawn carriage, but now the two are back fighting like cats and dogs. Their rant during the journey could only make the two maids caress the chests.

After six hours of travel, finally the emperor's horse carriage had arrived at the palace. Arriving there, people began gossiping about the queen who had just gotten off the train.

"The emperor must immediately move away from this witch!" said one of the residents seen protesting in front of Qianqing palace.
