Before Wu Fang and Su Cheng could speak, Ji Xingzhi asked, "How's Qucheng?"

Wu Fang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the epidemic has been resolved. Qucheng is currently being rebuilt. Zhou Zheng and Xiaotong are staying there to help."

Ji Xingzhi nodded, stretched out his hand to rub his swollen and painful temples, and said, "If there is nothing else, please leave."

"Your Majesty, we met Xie Jingnian in Qucheng. He has already... married and had children." Wu Fang paused, as if worried that Ji Xingzhi would hold Xie Jingnian accountable. He subconsciously spoke up for Xie Jingnian, "He helped a lot with the Qucheng incident this time."

Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Marry a wife and have children...biological children?"

Wu Fang nodded and said, "Yes."

Ji Xingzhi reached out and touched his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing Ji Xingzhi remained silent for a long time with an unfathomable expression, Su Cheng, who had been silent the entire time, couldn't help but chime in: "Your Majesty, Xie Jingnian has indeed helped a lot in Qucheng. Please forgive him for his crime of deceiving the emperor."

Yes, being a eunuch but not undergoing castration is indeed a serious crime worthy of death.

After hearing Su Cheng's words and seeing Su Cheng's nervous expression, Ji Xingzhi suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't say I would punish him. Why are you so nervous?"

Ji Xingzhi suddenly felt that she had always underestimated Xie Jingnian. In order to seek revenge, she sneaked into the palace and lay low for many years without revealing her identity.

Xie Jingnian was also a talented person, and Su Cheng was kind-hearted, so it was understandable that she would speak up for Xie Jingnian. Wu Fang surprised Ji Xingzhi a little. When Xie Jingnian hurt her, Wu Fang was so angry that she wanted to have him executed by slicing, but now she was speaking up for Xie Jingnian.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Xie Jingnian is really a good person..." Hearing Ji Xingzhi's cheerful tone and no intention of pursuing the matter, Su Cheng seemed to be relieved. He walked forward, took Ji Xingzhi's arm and began to chatter.

From Su Cheng, Ji Xingzhi basically learned about Xie Jingnian's situation in recent years.

After being driven out of the palace, Xie Jingnian went to Qucheng. With his talent, he was appreciated by Lord He of Qucheng and started a jewelry business. Su Cheng took off an emerald green hairpin from his head and showed it to Ji Xingzhi. The hairpin was indeed good.

Xie Jingnian's business was doing very well. He was also handsome and polite. The apple of Lord He's eye fell in love with him. Later, with Lord He's intentional or unintentional help, Xie Jingnian's jewelry business almost monopolized the entire Qucheng.

Xie Jingnian married Miss He naturally and they lived a happy life after marriage. Miss He also gave birth to a big fat boy for him.

The peaceful and happy life was broken on the day when the epidemic hit. Miss He was infected with the epidemic. Xie Jingnian never left her side and took care of Miss He personally even at the risk of contracting the disease.

He donated all his property to Lord He, and Lord He lived up to everyone's expectations and used the money on the patients. Before the news reached Lizhou City, Qucheng was isolated and helpless without any help, and his money played a big role.

In addition, Xie Jingnian also helped and encouraged patients, running around everywhere. Even the method of burning the city was his idea.

After Su Cheng finished speaking, Ji Xingzhi just nodded slightly. It seems that Xie Jingnian is indeed a good person. I guess everyone in Qucheng regards him as a great benefactor.
