The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 312: Practical combat creates talents

Just as Dong Mei'er was about to speak, Qin Hao interrupted her and said lightly, "Remember to dress up nicely tonight, don't let your cousin down."

Before he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only his unique hearty laughter in the air, as if it was a provocation to her.

It was not until the familiar footsteps disappeared completely and she was sure that Qin Hao would never come back that Dong Meir was able to vent her long-suppressed rage.

She was like an enraged tigress, overturning the objects in the room one by one. The crisp sound of shattering continued to be heard, as if it was revenge on Qin Hao.

In a moment, the originally tidy room became a mess.

Her beautiful eyes flashed with angry flames, and her graceful lotus feet kept walking on the carpet. She cursed hysterically: "Qin Hao, why do you dare to treat me like this? I will make you regret what you did today..."

The palace maids outside the room heard the noise coming from Dong Meir's room. They trembled like frightened birds and hid far away, fearing that they would be involved in the trouble.

However, among this group of panicked women, there was one who was not afraid at all. She came quietly to the door, with a firm and calm light flashing in her eyes. She listened to every word of Dong Meir and kept it in mind.

After a long wait, Dong Meir's voice finally rang out: "Someone come."

The woman who was eavesdropping outside the door felt nervous, and immediately lifted her skirt and walked in quickly. She lowered her head and responded in a humble and slightly trembling voice: "I am here, may I ask what the queen wants?"

The person who came was none other than Xiaodie, who had been instigated by Qin Hao not long ago.

Dong Meir frowned slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, she said in her usual dignified and calm tone: "I want to take a bath."

Xiaodie looked matter-of-fact and said softly, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and prepare it right away."

After a while, Dong Meir was immersed in the large carved wooden bathtub. The warm water was emitting a faint white smoke and bright flower petals were floating on the water.

There were a dozen palace maids standing beside her with their heads lowered and their backs bent. One of the closer palace maids, with hands as white, tender and smooth as scallions, was massaging Dong Meir's arms gently, as if she was holding a rare treasure, fearing the slightest negligence.

Dong Meir's mood gradually improved. She lay there lazily, looking very enjoyable.

She had temporarily forgotten all the troubles she had just experienced, as if they had never happened...

Qin Hao left Linglong Palace and went straight to the bedroom of Crown Princess Wang Yourong. He had no time to sit down or say hello to the women.

Elder Feng had hurried over and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the Jinyiwei reported that the Eighth Prince has arrived in the capital, but he did not enter the palace. Instead, he went directly to the Dong Mansion first."

Qin Hao raised his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "Oh, that's interesting. After the second and eighth brothers came to Beijing, they neither paid homage to the emperor and the queen mother, nor came to see my brother. Instead, they went to the Dong Mansion. What exactly do they want to do? It seems that in their eyes, this uncle is very important."

"Your Highness, should we keep the two princes under surveillance?" Old Feng suggested calmly.

Qin Hao nodded slightly and whispered, "We need to be cautious about this matter. Withdraw the Jinyiwei and send the Shadow Guards out. Remember, we must not be discovered, so as not to hurt our brotherly feelings, which will make it even more difficult to deal with in the future."

Qin Hao thought for a moment and whispered, "We need to be cautious in this matter. Remove the Jinyiwei and send out the Shadowwei instead. Remember, we must keep our actions secret. Once they notice us, it will hurt our brotherhood and the situation will be difficult to deal with."

Old Feng nodded and agreed.

"By the way, also keep Concubine Su and Concubine Dong under surveillance! Times are turbulent right now, and I can't care about etiquette. I have to put the overall situation first." Qin Hao's eyes flashed with helplessness, but he still said firmly.

After hearing this, Old Feng showed a helpless smile on his face: "Your Highness, the number of shadow guards is not large. If we assign them to monitor the two concubines, I am afraid we will have to draw a few from the guards around you. This old servant is really worried about your safety."

Qin Hao waved his hand lightly, with a faint smile on his face: "I'll transfer them, why not? With you by my side, what do I have to fear? Even if you're not here, Yue'er and Hongyu can protect me."

When Mr. Feng heard this, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes and he nodded slightly.

"But then again, the number of Shadow Guards is indeed a little small, only a dozen people, which makes people feel shabby. Elder Feng, do you have a good plan to help us expand our forces?"

Qin Hao said without hesitation: "No matter how much it costs, how much money is needed, or how high the official position is, I will support you unconditionally!"

After hearing this, Old Feng smiled helplessly and said frankly again: "Your Highness, to be honest, every member of the Shadow Guard was adopted by me since childhood and raised carefully. They have no relatives or friends, and they are only absolutely loyal to me and you."

"Moreover, the training of Shadow Guards is extremely difficult and requires a lot of effort and hard work. Without systematic martial arts manuals as guidance, it is difficult to train excellent Shadow Guards on a large scale."

"Therefore, this is not a problem that can be solved simply by money and official positions. I can only do my best."

Qin Hao frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling a little regretful.

If he had tens of thousands of shadow guards under his command, he would not have to fear any conspiracy. He would kill gods and Buddhas.

As his thoughts raced, a gleam of inspiration suddenly flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Master Feng, I do have a way that may be able to resolve this dilemma."

"Your Highness, what good ideas do you have?" Upon hearing this, Old Feng became excited and asked anxiously.

Qin Hao smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Aren't the twenty-five children that General Li gave me ready-made seeds? Perhaps they can be put to good use. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Feng Lao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he clapped his hands and smiled, "Your Highness is wise! I have secretly observed those 25 children. They are indeed talented, and most importantly, they are absolutely loyal. Although they have not yet reached the standard of Shadow Guards, with time and a little polish, they will surely become a sharp blade in your Highness's hands!"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Since they have already embarked on this path, they must be tempered. Let the shadow guards take these children to perform tasks. Only actual combat can create talents. Only after experiencing the baptism of life and death struggles can they transform and grow faster."
