After easily dealing with Kai Erqi, Qi Ling and Prince Xue Xing arrived at the foot of the Gundam. Looking at the imposing Gundam, Prince Xue Xing exclaimed in astonishment, "What... what is this thing? Qi Ling, do you know?"
"This is a Gundam, a gift I gave to Xue Ke. It's a weapon she can use for self-defense," Qi Ling said. "After all, I've been away for so long, and I'm still a little worried about her. This will help her protect herself."
"Just how powerful must this behemoth be!" Prince Xue Xing exclaimed. "And where is Xue Ke? Did she summon this thing? Why is she nowhere to be seen?"
"To prevent any accidents from happening to Xue Ke, I designed a special program in this Gundam. When the Gundam determines that Xue Ke is in danger, it will automatically summon her!" Qi Ling said with a smile. "And at the same time as the summoning, Xue Ke will enter the cockpit and receive comprehensive protection!"
"With the defensive capabilities of this Gundam, ordinary Titled Douluo are completely helpless against it. Moreover, once it senses an attack, this Gundam will enter autopilot mode, making it easy to deal with one or two Titled Douluo."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Prince Xue Xing was secretly astonished. When did even Titled Douluo become a unit of measurement? Has this thing become so worthless now?
"But how can we confirm Xue Ke's safety now?" Prince Xue Xing couldn't help but ask. " Xue Ke is inside, and we can't get in."
"Don't worry, this was already set up when I designed it. Besides Xue Ke, I can enter freely as well," Qi Ling said with a smile. " Prince Xue Xing, please wait outside."
Then, Qi Ling leaped into the cockpit from the back of the Gundam. Prince Xue Xing, watching this, couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's incredibly advanced! I've never seen technology like this before!"
After entering the cockpit of the Gundam, Qi Ling quickly found Xue Ke and rushed forward to ask, " Xue Ke, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"I... I'm fine, teacher," Xue Ke said, looking puzzled. "It's just that... I feel so hot, and my body feels so uncomfortable!"
Qi Ling then noticed that Xue Ke's face was flushed and she was covered in sweat, which was obviously not right, as if she had been given some kind of drug.
Qi Ling immediately understood. It would have been easier for Kai Erqi to drug Xue Ke for such an act. Whether it was him or the maids who did it, it was a very elaborate scheme.
" Xue Ke, don't panic. You've just been drugged; you'll be fine," Qi Ling said. "Fortunately, this kind of drug has no side effects and is easy to counteract! I'll prepare the antidote for you right away."
But upon hearing this, Xue Ke suddenly grabbed Qi Ling and asked, "Teacher, what kind of poison is it that I've been given?"
"Well... what kind of drug could a man give a woman?" Qi Ling said helplessly. "Fortunately, this kind of drug is easy to counteract, and the antidote is also very common."
But just as Qi Ling was about to fetch the medicine, Xue Ke stopped him again. Her face seemed to turn even redder as she said to Qi Ling, "Teacher, I... I don't want to take the medicine..."
"Huh? You don't want to undo it? Why?" Qi Ling asked in surprise.
Xue Ke blushed and finally managed to say, "I... I... Teacher, I want you... to help me get rid of it!"
Upon hearing Xue Ke's words, Qi Ling immediately understood her meaning. The little girl clearly didn't want to miss this good opportunity and planned to establish a fait accompli between the two of them.
"This... Xue Ke, have you thought this through? Are you sure you won't regret it?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask.
Xue Ke angrily replied, "Teacher, how could you say that! I will absolutely not regret it! Or is it that you don't actually like me, teacher?"
"No, how could that be? Of course I like it," Qi Ling said. "Well, in that case, Xue Ke, the first time will hurt a lot, so you'll have to bear with it."
"I'm not afraid, teacher. In fact, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Xue Ke said shyly.
Outside Gao Da, Prince Xue Xing waited anxiously for Xue Ke to be rescued, but the two never appeared. He wondered, "What's going on? Why hasn't Qi Ling come out after going in?"
The surrounding soldiers also looked puzzled. They had never seen anything like it before, let alone knew how to operate it. So, since Prince Xue Xing didn't speak, they naturally didn't dare to leave or make any rash moves.
Two hours passed before the Gundam finally made a move! Qi Ling, holding Xue Ke in her Qi Ling, slowly emerged from the cockpit of the Gundam and landed on the ground. Xue Ke, covered with a thin blanket, was fast asleep in Qi Ling Qi Ling's arms.
"Ah, Prince Xue Xing, I'm so sorry, it took a while to treat Xue Ke. I hope you weren't waiting too long?" Qi Ling said to Prince Xue Xing while holding Xue Ke.
Prince Xue Xing was speechless. With his keen eyesight as a seasoned veteran of the pleasure quarters, he could naturally see what had happened to Xue Ke. In other words, while everyone was waiting here, Qi Ling and Xue Ke were inside the Gundam, doing that kind of thing.
Even so, Prince Xue Xing couldn't really say anything, because he could also see that Xue Ke did indeed have signs of being drugged, which meant that Qi Ling really was saving Xue Ke! No doubt about it!
" Qi Ling, you should take Xue Ke back to rest quickly, don't let her catch a cold," Prince Xue Xing said helplessly. "Leave the matter here to me."
"Haha, thank you very much then. I'm tired too." Qi Ling said, putting the Gaoda back into her ring, and then taking Xue Ke back to her palace.
The day after that, a major event occurred in the Heaven Dou Empire: the Changyun Chamber of Commerce, the third largest chamber of commerce in the empire, was suddenly dissolved in the shortest possible time under the combined attack of the imperial family, the Dragon's Glory Chamber of Commerce, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
This also shows that the people in the Changyun Chamber of Commerce were shrewd. They knew they had gotten themselves into trouble they couldn't handle, so dissolving the chamber was the wisest course of action. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unbearable.
Just a few days later, Qi Ling left Heaven Dou City and headed towards Dragon's Glory City. Although Xue Ke was reluctant to part with her, as the Empress, she had many responsibilities, and Qi Ling was even more burdened with heavy duties.
