Sang Qingxiao noticed that Qin Mu Hui seemed somewhat concerned about Qi Hao's situation, so she spoke up for Qi Xiaomian. "Currently, the reputation of the first family still rests with the Qi Family. Perhaps Qi Xiaomian thinks that keeping Qi Hao in the capital would be beneficial for controlling the provinces."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu Hui finally relaxed a bit. "Did he tell you all this?"
"He didn't say it directly, but that's the general idea. His priority is to protect the country, and what he values most is this nation."
Qin Mu Hui smiled. "He seems to share everything with you."
Uh...
Before Sang Qingxiao could clarify, Qin Mu Hui expressed concern again. "Miss Sang, are you sure there is no Evil Object left in Qi Hao?"
"I'm sure. The Evil Object was removed in front of everyone."
"That's good to hear. Do you know why the Empress Dowager wants to see Qi Hao?"
Sang Qingxiao knew but couldn't say; the royal family was too complicated, and she didn't want to get involved. Shaking her head, Qin Mu Hui continued to show concern and even gifted her a pile of items before letting her leave the palace.
She intended to wait for Huo Qi at the palace gate but saw that he had already exited ahead of her and had received a reward from the Empress Dowager.
A luxurious carriage had been sent specifically for him, which certainly made him look impressive.
Huo Qi proudly raised his eyebrows at Sang Qingxiao. "Was the Empress Dowager so eager to summon you because something went wrong with the medicine?"
"I ate too much; my face is a bit stiff, but it's nothing serious." However, for her, it felt as if the sky had fallen. She ended up closing herself off from everyone for several days.
Sang Qingxiao chuckled. "You don't have a handsome face to flaunt now; how did the Empress Dowager let you off so easily?"
Huo Qi snorted. "What does it matter how high one's status is? Spending a lifetime trapped within palace walls without seeing much of the world means she can be easily deceived by a few lies. No wonder she dares to consume any medicine; with that little cunning, it's a waste of time to fool her further."
Sang Qingxiao replied, "In essence, it's just too much desire."
"To put it bluntly, it's selfishness," Huo Qi thought about how he had painstakingly taught his older child Xiao Xiao Ji to protect their home and country, only to be undermined by a woman at every turn. It made him feel quite upset. "Old Vine's medicine was already generous enough for her!"
Time was too short; Old Vine hadn't had enough time to research something better. The few pills you sent were merely a temporary fix.
Huo Qi huffed angrily. "In my opinion, let's leave it as it is and not let Old Vine waste time researching any further. That woman is nothing but a disaster; the sooner she dies, the better, to spare innocent people from being dragged into this mess."
This matter still requires Qi Xiaomian to make a decision, so let's not worry about it.
Sang Qingxiao directly brought Qi Hao into the Small Tavern. Before Qi Xiaomian returned, he let him stay here temporarily, next door to Misha. Suddenly, there were three more men in the Small Tavern, but with a little squeeze, they could all fit in this house in the backyard.
Huo Qi was particularly happy, saying he loved the lively atmosphere.
When Misha returned, he didn't stop working. The Underground Trade had been suspended for several months, and as soon as it resumed, supplies began to pour into the Small Tavern continuously.
With his encouragement, others joined in willingly. As they worked, miraculously, they didn’t feel tired or sleepy at all. Everyone chatted and laughed while the Two Little Treasures clamored for roasted whole lamb.
It had to be arranged; seeing that more and more livestock were coming in, everyone simply tossed aside the dead materials and focused on handling these animals.
With the help of the Mountain Demons, things moved quickly. In no time, the bones could fill several small rooms. Although the bones were delicious, there was simply too much to chew through, and they were unwilling to let these things take up space.
