The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Fang Xing'an didn't want to admit it, but he was powerless to refute it.

Upon seeing this, Old Master Fang couldn't help but curse, "Useless thing! You can't even handle a little girl! The imperial decree has already been issued. When the Emperor summons that girl to the palace, she'll definitely be rewarded. How can you let such a great honor slip by?"

Fang Xing'an was well aware of all this, but neither Fang Qingyou nor Madam Ren wanted to come back with him. He hadn't seen Fang Runting, but thinking about it, his attitude towards him was probably just as cold as that of the mother and daughter. Did he really intend to snatch them back?

If he could rob someone, Fang Xing'an would be willing to do so, but with those Tianhua Pavilion people there, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on them.

He had heard that those people from Tianhua Pavilion were extremely arrogant. They even dared to provoke the Minister of Rites for Fang Qingyou's sake. He was afraid that he, the Minister of Works, didn't carry much weight in their eyes.

Seeing Fang Xing'an's furrowed brows, Old Master Fang couldn't help but scold, "Don't always have such a long face, it's really bad luck! You're such a grown man, do you think this matter can still make you feel bad? Think it over carefully, see how to persuade that girl, and let her return to her ancestral home as soon as possible!"

"I understand, I'll think of another way," Fang Xing'an replied.

After returning from Old Master Fang's place, Fang Xing'an walked along, trying to find a solution, his face full of distress.

In fact, he had already thought of two solutions before returning home.

Firstly, he appealed to her emotions; if he could move Fang Qingyou, that girl would definitely be willing to return to the Fang family mansion.

Even if he could persuade the Ren family, he could achieve the same result.

Secondly, he forced them to do so. You should know that the place where Fang Qingyou and the other two lived was bought by him, and he still holds the land deed.

If they were unwilling to return to the Fang residence, he would have his men force them with the land deeds. If they had nowhere to live, wouldn't they obediently return?

Of the two methods, Fang Xing'an felt that the first one would be somewhat difficult to implement.

First, let's talk about Madam Ren. After so many years apart, she probably hates me to death, so she won't be so easily moved.

As for Fang Qingyou, this girl had never met him since she was a child and didn't have much affection for him. In addition, Ren Shi always spoke ill of him in front of her, so this girl looked at him as if he were a stranger.

Fang Xing'an's idea was purely petty. In fact, over the years, no matter how Ren Shi viewed him, she never said a bad word about him in front of Fang Qingyou, and the same was true for Fang Runting.

The more Fang Xing'an thought about it, the more unreliable the emotional appeal method seemed, so he decided to choose the second method.

However, he needs to think carefully about this method and see how best to implement it.

On this day, some were happy while others were sad.

Among those who were worried, Empress Qin was one of them.

Empress Qin lost so many assassins yesterday because of Fang Qingyou, and today the Emperor is going to issue an imperial edict to invite her to the palace. In that case, she will not be able to take any action against her for the next few days.

The thought that if she couldn't touch Fang Qingyou, the time to seize Luo Qianmo's weakness would have to be postponed made Empress Qin furious.

Thinking back on the events of the past two weeks, each one was a source of worry and none of them brought her any comfort. Empress Qin felt her head was throbbing from all the scheming.

However, Empress Qin was genuinely curious about Fang Qingyou. She wondered what kind of girl she was that made Luo Qianmo treat her so differently, and that she had also happened to save She Ruifeng's wife. Now, even the Emperor wanted to see her.

Also, what is her connection with that Fang Shiyu?

Among those who were angry, Shi Wantong should also be included.

Ever since she suffered a great loss and her reputation was ruined by Fang Qingyou that day, Shi Zhengchu had confined her to her room and she hadn't left for several days.

She hated it, hated it to death.

Her fate was so tragic, but Fang Qingyou enjoyed boundless glory.

She Ruifeng owed her a favor, and even the Emperor treated her differently.

Why, why is Fang Qingyou so lucky?

Fang Qingyou has been very busy these past two days, preparing gifts for everyone in the palace.

The emperor summoned her to the palace; she couldn't possibly go empty-handed.

If there were no gifts, those discerning palace servants would let it go, but those without discernment, who only care about the benefits, might make things difficult for her.

In such a vast palace, if a palace servant were to misbehave and lead her to a place she shouldn't go, then she would be doomed.

When preparing gifts, Fang Qingyou didn't have much savings. The money she had saved up was all earmarked for building a house and opening a clinic, so she couldn't use it casually. Therefore, the only thing she could offer was the medicine she had prepared.

However, having learned from Eunuch Luo's experience, this time Fang Qingyou plans to purchase some beautifully designed medicine boxes. Although the cost will be higher, they will be more appealing, since most people in this world are attracted to appearances.

Ahem, well, does this count as insulting myself?

Over the past two days, Fang Qingyou prepared gifts for the eunuchs, maids, and guards she might encounter in the palace. Of course, she also prepared some medicine for the emperor and the concubines in the harem, just in case.

Who knows if the Emperor or the concubines might suddenly ask her for some medicine? If she can't produce it, wouldn't that be troublesome?

There were too many gifts to prepare for Fang Qingyou to handle alone, so she mobilized everyone in her family, including Fang Runting and Elder Xing.

Despite being busy, Fang Qingyou didn't forget any of the things she needed to do. Every day, she would go over to treat that mysterious lady and also take care of the health of her family members.

In the past two days, Fang Qingyou received a letter.

The letter was written by Gu Yuxin. It mentioned some things about the palace and told her not to be nervous or afraid, just do what she was supposed to do, and nothing would happen.

Fang Qingyou knew that Gu Yuxin was saying that even if something happened, she would find a way to help her.

Of the two, Fang Qingyou welcomed a guest, Hongping, She Yuyan's personal maid.

Hongping said that She Yuyan originally wanted to come by herself, but She Ruifeng was afraid that Madam She would have another relapse, so he wouldn't let her leave the She residence. Therefore, she had no choice but to send Hongping.

She Yuyan asked Hongping to tell her that the Emperor was very open-minded and kind, and that the scenery in the palace was beautiful, etc., in order to make her feel less pressured.

In addition, She Yuyan also gave Fang Qingyou some things, including medicinal herbs and a lot of fine fabrics.

Fang Qingyou accepted She Yuyan's kindness and asked Hongping to convey her thanks, saying she would visit the She residence another day.

In the past two days, Fang Qingyou also encountered an uninvited guest.

Yes, this uninvited guest was Fang Xing'an.
