The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: What Are You Guys Doing?

Back then, a powerful strategy advisor had been living with the Xie family on the mountain stronghold.

Ever since the strategy advisor had been recruited, he had been promoted.

The emperor made him a Grand Preceptor. He was also made a Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, a second-grade official. On the one hand, he mainly took care of the feng shui matters. On the other hand, he was an official close to the emperor. Since the emperor was fond of him, even other officials in the imperial court had to respect him.

Meanwhile, this Grand Preceptor… had a close relationship with Xie Pinggang!

How would Xie Qiao know what others were thinking about?

She was wondering whether the 5,000 silver notes that the Xie family had given were sufficient to buy a store at a good location.

At the same time, some people in the Imperial City were looking for her.

“Brother Qin, don’t rush it. No matter what, even if I have to beg on my knees, I’ll definitely beg Half-Immortal Xie to save you!” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou looked terrible as he watched his good friend.

Qin Zhi was lying on the bed at the moment.

He was weak and looked horrible.

He looked like he was drowning in water. He had a hard time breathing and felt terrible.

Qin Zhi secretly felt pity for himself.

He was so unfortunate!

He thought his bad luck would be gotten rid of after he found Half-Immortal Xie’s master. However, when he had met Mo Lingzi, the latter had asked him to wait for death after taking a glance at him!

Mo Lingzi had even said that his case was severe, and there was nothing that he could do about it!

Mo Lingzi was helpless about something that his disciple could handle!

He had paid quite some valuables in return for some amulets and Dharma instruments to be able to live until now!

“Didn’t you hear that Half-Immortal Xie i-is the daughter of an official? How is it possible that she would h-help me? Also, the way I treated her…” Qin Zhi shed tears of regret as he spoke to this point.

If he knew this would happen to him, he definitely would not have bullied Half-Immortal Xie back then!

“Young Master said we should prepare some silver notes. It might work. However, we’re out of luck today. I heard Ms. Xie has gone to the academy. I thought I would look for her there, but she left early.” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou sighed.

The light in Qin Zhi’s eyes dimmed even more now.

“Don’t worry. I got people to watch. Young Lady Xie still isn’t home. As soon as she gets home, I’ll go to the Xie Residence right away,” said Imperial Bodyguard Zhou.

“I’m afraid Half-Immortal Xie will be pissed if you show up out of the blue,” Qin Zhi said pitifully.

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou was helpless!

Qin Zhi was finally sensible now. Why was he not like this before!?

They had visited a few Taoist masters along the way to the Imperial City, but It had been futile.

They could not even tell what was wrong with him.

Half-Immortal Xie was the most accurate when it came to fortune-telling!

It would be fine if Xie Qiao was just a female Taoist master. Most of the imperial bodyguards were from powerful families. Only a minority of them, like Qin Zhi, were selected from the military camp. No matter what, he was an official after all. Moreover, his future was bright. People would usually respect him.

However, Xie Qiao was a regular lady.

Nobody should spread the word that this lady was accurate in fortune-telling to ruin her reputation, nor could Qin Zhi go to her house to get her to save him. He would offend her for nothing.

Especially His Highness had found a lot of evidence of criminal conduct lately. It would be a mess at the imperial court. Many despised His Highness, and as the subordinate, he should not stir more troubles for him!

Xie Qiao took a stroll and memorized the rough conditions of the few streets.

She then returned home.

Qin Zhi’s subordinates were secretly guarding outside the Xie Residence’s door. When they saw Xie Qiao home, they almost threw themselves at her as if they had seen their mother.

Although they did not throw themselves at her, they were walking fast.

However, they were stopped.

Xie Pinggang had appeared out of nowhere. He stood before the few of them.

“What are you guys doing?! I suppose you guys have been hiding outside my house for a while!?” Xie Pinggang’s bear-like body was majestic as he looked at the few of them condescendingly.
