Tang Yiqian had been paying attention to her. Seeing her expression, he put his hand on her waist faster than his brain could react. "Are you okay?"

Qin Ruchu wanted to say it was okay, but her waist wouldn't allow it, so she could only pinch Tang Yiqian, "Isn't it because of you?"

If he hadn't moved too violently last night, she wouldn't have been like this.

Tang Yiqian also knew that he was reckless, so he apologized in a low voice, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

Actually, you can't blame him, she is just too delicious and he really can't control himself.

Qin Ruchu: “…” He admitted his mistake so quickly that it seemed like she was being unreasonable.

"Would you like me to take you home to rest?"

There was no need for minor officials like Qin Ruchu to sit in the duty room all day. To put it bluntly, it had nothing to do with them.

It's not that Qin Ruchu is special, she can't hold this position. The emperor put her in the Ministry of Justice because he wanted her to help solve old cases that could not be solved. The results are also very gratifying. Qin Ruchu has solved many unsolved cases and can't find new ones for the time being, so she can take a rest.

Qin Ruchu pinched him again, "Are you afraid that others don't know what bad things we did?"

Officials are all shrewd people. If she asks for leave, someone will definitely guess the reason. How will she show it in public then?

"How can this be a bad thing?"

They are husband and wife, isn't it normal for husband and wife to be intimate?

"Okay, help me get to the hospital."

After taking some medicine, she went back immediately. It was much better to say that she had accidentally sprained her waist than to take a leave because of hanging out with friends last night.

"Aren't you sleepy?"

Seeing that she couldn't even close her eyes, he was also thinking about her.

"I'm sleepy. Please help me go quickly. I can also go to the duty room and take a nap."

On the contrary, she closed the door and no one knew what she was doing inside.

Logically, she didn't have a duty room, but the Ministry of Justice had renovated it before, so they built a duty room for her.

Well, the treasury has money, and the salaries of these small officials have also increased, which is very good, very good.

"The clinic is quite far from here. I have some medicine for treating bruises and injuries. Would you mind putting up with me?"

There were too many unexpected events in his life, so he always carried medicine with him.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

She also knew that there were no clinics nearby because the rent was expensive and most people couldn't afford it. In addition, the area was where nobles lived and they usually had doctors in their houses, so few people paid attention to it. Another reason was that if someone accidentally found out the secrets of a noble's house, they would be silenced, so no one was stupid enough to open a clinic nearby. But there was no other way. Her waist was really sprained and she had to see a doctor.

"It's my fault." Tang Yiqian apologized and helped her walk towards the carriage.

After taking the medicine, Qin Ruchu returned to the Ministry of Justice and found that everyone was gathered in the lobby.

"What's going on?" Qin Ruchu stepped forward.

Is there another melon to eat?

Tang Yiqian looked at her excited expression, the corners of his mouth twitched. She really just went wherever there was excitement.

"Master Qin is here?"

Everyone made way for you.

There were a few chickens, a few ducks, a basket of vegetables and a basket of fruit on the table.

"Where did this come from?" Qin Ruchu was curious.

Could it be that someone went to restock the goods?

Everyone answered at once, and from their words, Qin Ruchu pieced together their meaning. It turned out that many women were grateful to them for changing that criminal law, so they gave them these things.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles. At this moment, they finally understood the meaning of being an official.

Finally, everyone decided to report the matter to the emperor, and let him decide where the things should go.

The emperor naturally looked down upon these things, but he was also jealous because, without his permission, no law could be enacted. Why did those people only know how to thank the officials but not thank him as the emperor?

His thoughts were captured by the system, and the system told Qin Ruchu like a joke.

Qin Ruchu was speechless: "He sits high up in the temple, and others cannot send him gifts even if they want to."

System: "That's right. That's right."

The emperor: "..." Enough, he didn't want to listen to her.

At this time, a young eunuch came in from outside, knelt on the throne and said, "Your Majesty, Taoist Yang Bao wants to see you."

"Hurry up and announce it."

A Taoist priest with white hair and beard came in from outside, knelt in front of the emperor, raised his head, and a box lay in his heart, "Your Majesty, your elixir is here."

"Present it quickly." said the emperor anxiously.

The chief eunuch came down and handed over the box. The box was opened and a red pill appeared in front of him.

Taoist Priest Yang Bao said: "Your Majesty, this is the first elixir refined by the poor. Eating it can make people strong and healthy."

"Good, good, good." The emperor clapped his hands and laughed: "Appreciation."

He didn't say what the reward was, but judging by his happy expression, there must be a lot of good things.

Taoist Priest Yang Bao kowtowed happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Ruchu watched the emperor pick up the fiery red pill and asked the system: "If I go up and kill it now, will the old emperor punish me?"

The emperor paused while taking the pill. No, Qin Aiqing, I didn't offend you, why did you knock away my pill?

System: "Need I say that? Of course I will."

The emperor nodded in his heart. Yes, he was the emperor after all. How could he allow her to bully him?

Qin Ruchu: "But the pill is poisonous. He's so old, what if he gets poisoned to death by accident?"

What? The pill is poisonous? The chief eunuch quickly snatched the pill from the emperor's mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I see that this pill is very red. I'm afraid it's not good. Why don't you check it first?"

Qin Ruchu: "It contains women's menstrual blood, how can it not be red? Look at the color, it must have been a lot."

What? The pill is so red because it contains women's menstrual blood?

The emperor's stomach churned. He stood up from his chair and walked to the garbage disposal. "Ugh."

Dry up.

"emperor."

Everyone immediately ran to the emperor to show their courtesy, including the Taoist priest, who said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Just take a pill and you'll be fine."

Qin Ruchu: "Hmmmm, I accidentally ate it to death. Now I don't feel anything, isn't that good?"

The emperor wiped his mouth, stood up, pointed at Taoist Yang Bao and said, "Come here, take him to me and chop him off."

To dare to feed him such disgusting food must be because he is tired of living. Unless I chop off his head, I will never be able to relieve his hatred.

Taoist Priest Yang Bao didn't know what happened. One second he was in the palace, and the next second he was in hell. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, spare my life."

Qin Ruchu: "What happened? Why did you suddenly kill him? Shouldn't I beg for mercy for him? He is a talent in gunpowder research."

Emperor: "..." Can't you just say it all at once? And what is gunpowder? Can you explain it clearly?

The emperor sat back in his chair and looked at Taoist Yang Bao below him: "Tell me a reason why I should spare you."
