Chapter 0062 Rescue Again
Li Chengkong still saw her off respectfully.
This made her even more angry. She always felt that there was mockery hidden under his respectful demeanor, laughing at her stupidity.
Li Chengkong felt as refreshed as if he had eaten ice cream. He crossed out another entry on his little notebook, thinking it was revenge.
In his little notebook, he doubled his hatred for Princess Qingming, and after precise calculation, he broke it down into ninety-nine small hatreds.
After avenging these ninety-nine small revenges, the great revenge will be completed.
Small amounts add up to a lot, which can not only protect yourself, but also relieve the grievances in your heart.
This is the wisest and most satisfying way of revenge.
The next morning, he returned to the Xiaoling Mausoleum under the escort of the Tianfeng Guards.
When we arrived at the Xiaoling Mausoleum, it was already noon. Everyone had finished lunch and there was laughter and joy in the yard.
Li Chengkong's arrival startled them, but they immediately came up to him with great joy, asking him all kinds of questions, showing great curiosity.
They all wanted to know why Li Chengkong was taken away by the Tianfeng Guards, and what was going on with such a big fuss.
Li Chengkong just said that it should be kept secret and no more information could be said, which made everyone even more anxious.

Sunset
Mingyu Palace
Dugu Shuming and Yu Fei, both wearing snow-white clothes, were playing chess in a small pavilion on the lake, concentrating and looking serious.
Pei Jing and Su Ru stood behind them and watched the game.
Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue are not here.
"Mom, you are going to lose!" Dugu Shuming put down a black piece and smiled brightly.
"It's not that easy." Yu Fei put down a white piece.
Dugu Shuming's smile faded and he fell into deep thought again.
Wang Xiyuan, with a simple and honest face, walked on the lake and floated down to the pavilion. He flicked his whisk, bowed, and reported in a pleasant and magnetic voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Mei is here."
Concubine Yu was surprised: "Sister Mei Fei? Please ask her to come over!"
"Yes." Wang Xiyuan replied respectfully, walked across the lake, and soon led a beautiful woman in colorful clothes to come.
Concubine Yu came out of the pavilion and came to the corridor on the lake: "Sister Mei!"
A proud woman who was not as beautiful as Dugu Shuming came hurriedly and held Yu Fei's hand: "Sister Yu!"
Yu Fei felt that her hands were like ice cubes and asked softly, "But what's the matter?"
Concubine Mei looked haggard, her bright eyes were bloodshot.
"Sister Yu, save me!" Concubine Mei's eyes suddenly became moist and she was about to kneel down.
Yu Fei supported her and asked, "What happened?"
"Xu'er he...he..." Mei Fei cried softly with red eyes: "He is dying!"
"Didn't Xu'er get better a while ago?" Concubine Yu frowned, "Could it be that his illness has relapsed again?"
"It suddenly got worse yesterday, and the doctors were helpless. Now it looks like he's dying!" Mei Fei shook her head: "Sister Yu, I heard you invited a master!"
"This..." Yu Fei hesitated: "He cured my obsession, but he is not proficient in medicine."
"The imperial doctors could only stare blankly, begging him to come and take a look..."
Concubine Yu hesitated.
Concubine Mei said now that she wanted to call someone to take a look, but if Dugu Xuyang really cannot be saved, I am afraid she will not say that at that time.
Once anything happens to Dugu Xuyang, the imperial physicians are watching over him, so Concubine Mei's anger won't be directed at them, but at Li Chengkong.
This is muddy water, best not to wade in it.
But Dugu Xuyang was also a good boy, and it was really hard to bear to watch him die like that.
"Sister Yu, if anything happens to Xu'er, I will go with him!" Concubine Mei sobbed.
"Alas..." Concubine Yu sighed.
Dugu Shuming winked at Concubine Yu, indicating her not to agree.
Li Chengkong is hateful and deserves to be punished, but he has to be punished himself and cannot be punished by others.
After all, he saved my mother, and I can't bear to see him jump into the fire.
It’s not for Li Chengkong, but because of my own principles as a human being. I can’t get over the hurdle in my heart.
As for Dugu Xuyang, he brought his own death upon himself and he cannot blame others. Since he is tired of living, it is better to help him achieve his wish.
"This..." Concubine Yu hesitated.
Concubine Mei lowered her head and wept softly.
Dugu Shuming coughed lightly and said, "He doesn't know any medical skills. He is just a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
Mei Fei said: "Then maybe we can run into another dead rat! Ming'er, Aunt Mei has been kind to you since you were a child, and you and Xu'er have a good relationship. Are you going to watch him die?!"
"Aunt Mei, I know the situation of my fifteenth brother. He can't be saved. Summoning that person here will harm him." Dugu Shuming could only point it out.
"I will never vent my anger on him!" Mei Fei said hurriedly.
"I'm afraid that by then you'll be controlled by pain, sadness, and anger, and won't be able to control yourself and want to deal with him."
"I can swear!"
"Well, Aunt Mei, let's swear an oath!"
"Ming'er, stop messing around!" Concubine Yu said angrily.
Dugu Shuming stared at Concubine Mei with his bright eyes.
Concubine Mei took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears, raised her left hand, put her little finger, thumb, index, middle and ring fingers in the air, and swore solemnly: no matter whether the visitor could save Dugu Xuyang or not, she would never punish him and would never vent her anger on him.
"I'll go find my father right away!" Dugu Shuming turned and left.
"Alas..." Concubine Yu shook her head and said, "Sister Mei, we are all people with miserable lives!"
"This bastard, how much did I owe him in my previous life!" Concubine Mei sat down softly at the stone table, tears streaming down her face again.
"Xu'er is a good boy with a pure nature. God will not treat him like this."
"He's just a bastard, he never has a day of peace!"
…
Li Chengkong was sitting on the green grass beside Shenxiu Lake with the other Xiaoling guards, eating breakfast and enjoying .
Amidst the rumbling sound, the ground shook, and a loud shout came from afar: "Tianfeng Guard!"
Everyone turned their eyes from looking at the entrance to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in the south to Li Chengkong.
"Li Chengkong received the order!"
"Here!" Li Chengkong stood up.
"Go to the capital upon command, and set off immediately!"
"Yes." Li Chengkong clasped his fists calmly.
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, watching Li Chengkong fly onto the snow-white Tianfeng divine horse and disappear in the blink of an eye.
Curiosity was like a cat scratching. They asked around and tried every possible means to find out what was going on with Li Chengkong.
All the guards of Xiaoling Mausoleum came from extraordinary backgrounds and had their own connections, but only a few knew about this and none of them dared to reveal it.
Early in the morning, Li Chengkong arrived at the Forbidden Palace and came to Meixiang Palace with a handsome young eunuch.
…
There are many plum blossoms planted in Meixiang Palace, clusters in the east, west, south and north.
It is early autumn now, and the plum branches are sparse, which makes it look a bit desolate.
Inside the bedroom, a group of palace maids in colorful clothes huddled in a corner in silence, and Pei Jing was among them.
Several white-haired imperial physicians were frowning and discussing in low voices from time to time, but soon fell silent again, frowning even tighter and shaking their heads continuously.
Concubine Mei held the hand of the young man on the couch and stared at his pale and bluish face with tearful eyes.
Concubine Yu and Dugu Shuming stood behind her and shook their heads secretly.
A bluish face is a sign of dying.
A beautiful middle-aged woman broke into the inner room amid the greetings of "Empress Chen" from the palace maids outside.
"Xu'er!" Chen Fei came to the bedside and cried out, "Why are you so sick?"
"The doctors can't do anything?"
"No." Yu Fei sighed.
"Sister Yu is here too, but where are the golden-robed feathered warriors?"
"They said that if the Wanxiang Banshan Gong of the Yongli Palace of the Great Yong Dynasty backfires, no one can cure it, but Xu'er's training is incomplete!"
“This…this…” Concubine Chen’s face was filled with worry: “Could it be Tian Juexu’er?”
Mei Fei suddenly screamed: "Xu'er! Xu'er!"
Dugu Shuming hurriedly got on the bed, roughly helped Dugu Xuyang straighten up, sat behind him, and put his palms on his back to transfer his internal energy.
Concubine Mei held Dugu Xuyang's hand tightly.
Dugu Shuming's heart sank.
She could clearly feel that Dugu Xuyang was like a candle that was quickly going out.
It went out in the blink of an eye.
"Pei Jing, go outside and check. Eunuch Li has arrived. Bring him here quickly!" Concubine Yu raised her voice.
"Yes, madam."
Pei Jing said to a beautiful woman, "Sister Zhou, come with me."
"Okay." The beautiful woman followed her out.
Dugu Shuming continued to transfer his inner energy even though he knew Dugu Xuyang was dead.
Concubine Mei stared at Dugu Xuyang with a pleading look.
He cried to the sky and the earth, but no one answered. He felt helpless and in pain. He wished he could take his own life instead, or even die.
Both Yu Fei and Chen Fei saw what was going on.
Dugu Shuming had been practicing his internal energy, with white steam rising from his head, but Dugu Xuyang showed no movement at all, so he was probably dead.
Concubine Chen asked, "Where is the emperor? Doesn't he care about Xu'er's life or death at all?!"
Yu Fei quickly waved her hand to signal her not to say anything.
Everyone knows the emperor's temper. The country is the most important thing, and the affairs of the harem cannot disturb his mind, even if the prince and princess die.
Concubine Mei stared straight at Dugu Xuyang, holding his hand tightly, feeling his hand getting colder and losing its temperature bit by bit.
Li Chengkong followed the handsome young eunuch to the outside of Meixiang Palace, where Pei Jing and Zhou Mei were waiting anxiously.
Seeing him appear, Pei Jing hurriedly said, "Eunuch Li, hurry up!"
Li Chengkong clasped his fists towards the eunuch Junya and said, "Eunuch Jia, I will take my leave first. Thank you very much."
"Eunuch Li, please go quickly." Jia Fang clasped his fists.
