When this matter was mentioned, Jing Li couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Qin Zhao had only told him his identity before, so Jing Li only knew that Qin Zhao and the current emperor had been teacher and student. Qin Zhao had not mentioned what kind of person the other party was.

After listening to Qin Zhao's story, Jing Li naturally believed that the mastermind behind the scenes was the emperor.

But judging from Qin Zhao's attitude, he seemed unwilling to suspect that the emperor was behind this.

Jing Li couldn't help but ask, "What on earth happened between you and that little emperor?"

"If you want to hear it, I can tell you, but don't let your imagination run wild." Qin Zhao seemed to be able to foresee Jing Li's reaction and said it in advance.

Jing Li nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I know."

"I watched His Majesty grow up." Qin Zhao took another sip of tea before slowly speaking, "He is the late emperor's youngest son, the son of a concubine. Before he was born, his mother had already fallen out of favor and was banished to the cold palace. He was born in the cold palace, which is why he was able to survive the initial struggle for the throne."

The late emperor had more than just this one son, but all the princes died in power struggles. Only this child survived because no one cared about him in the harem.

"The late emperor took him out of the cold palace and sent him directly to my residence, asking me to teach him and also to protect him."

"The child was very timid and burst into tears when he first saw me. I was just an adult at the time and didn't know how to take care of a child. I just let him stand in the yard and cry. I only gave him food when he was tired and cried enough."

Jing Li: “…”

Qin Zhao used to be so scary.

Seeing Jing Li's indescribable expression, Qin Zhao smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"No..." Jing Li shrank his neck and said, "I was just thinking, it's a good thing I didn't meet you ten years ago, otherwise you might really have boiled me in the pot."

Impatient and callous.

He is worthy of being the Regent.

Qin Zhao frowned, seeming to have some reservations about his words, but he didn't comment further. He continued, "In the first few years after His Majesty ascended the throne, I purged the court in his name, causing quite a stir. That child was timid and soft-hearted, and I scolded him and cried a lot because of this. But even so, whenever something happened, the first thing he thought of was to hide behind me."

"I spent nearly seven years teaching him how to be a good emperor. I told him more than once that once he had mastered the skills, I would let him take power back. I don't understand..."

He didn't understand how the child who used to just hide behind him and cry could become so scheming overnight?

"Let's go to the capital as soon as possible." Jing Li said, "We don't have to wait until November. Let's go back to the village to rest for a few days before setting off."

It is almost October now. If they rest for a few days and then set off by water, they can reach the capital in early November.

The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can find out the truth.

Qin Zhao shook his head: "Don't be so anxious, Gu Changzhou still needs some time to prepare."

"Let's wait for the new secret letter to arrive. Perhaps I'm just worrying too much."

Jing Li looked at him and said sourly, "I don't think you're worrying about nothing. You're worried that the emperor really has some strange disease, right?"

Qin Zhao: "..."

Didn’t you promise not to think too much?

Jing Li lowered his head, playing with the teacup in front of him, and said with gritted teeth: "You watched him grow up."

"He taught him for seven years."

"Whenever he encounters something, he hides behind you and cries."

"Even now, you still trust him so much and believe that he won't hurt you."

So sour.
