Chapter 9 I don't know what it feels like
Outside the accounting office, Qi Feng held a silver ingot as a reward and walked briskly towards the main courtyard.
These ten taels of silver were equivalent to his two months' salary.
Not long after walking, he ran into Xue Nian.
Xue Nian saw Qi Feng's overjoyed look at a glance, and couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked:
"Qi Feng, what are you so happy about?"
Qi Feng couldn't hide his pride, and couldn't wait to wave the silver in front of him again and again:
"See? It's a reward from the prince!"
Xue Nian: "What did you do to make the prince so happy?"
Qi Feng said lightly:
"Nothing much, I just bought a few plates of cakes for the prince."
When Xue Nian heard this, he opened his mouth wide and screamed:
"I just ran errands to buy some cakes, and the prince gave me so much?"
Qi Feng thought about it and realized that this was not just buying cakes, but he couldn't explain it clearly to Xue Nian, a young man, so he waved his hand and said:
"You don't understand this, and I can't explain it to you."
"Okay, okay, I don't understand. But Qi Feng, since you got such a large reward, you should at least treat us to a good meal at the restaurant, right?"
When Qi Feng heard this, he quickly put the silver in his pocket and said unhappily:
"You wish! I need to save this money for marrying a wife!"
After saying this, Qi Feng felt a burning sensation on his face and didn't dare to look up at Xue Nian.
Xue Nian looked at Qi Feng's shy yet determined look and couldn't help but joked:
"Oh, I didn't realize that our Qi Feng has already started planning to get married!"
Qi Feng: "Why? Have you never planned to get married?"
Xue Nian puffed out his chest and answered without hesitation:
"Marry her, of course I have to! It's only a matter of time!"
Qi Feng's eyes widened: "Are you really going to get married?"
Xue Nian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, frowned, and said in a more serious tone:
"Yeah, it must be true! When have I ever lied to you?"
After hearing this, Qi Feng, for some reason, suddenly raised his foot and stomped hard on Xue Nian's foot, saying unhappily:
"Get out of the way. Go and marry your wife, don't block my way."
Xue Nian jumped up in pain, holding his foot and yelling, saying with a look of grievance:
"You're the one who should ask, why did you suddenly step on me?"

Zhu Wenqin walked outside the study, touching his bulging belly. To be honest, he had not yet had a good look around the main courtyard.
The palace is very large, with several scattered courtyards, and the main courtyard is in the most central location.
There are corridors on both sides, and three steps up the front are the prince's bedroom and study. There is a flower bed and a stone table in the middle of the courtyard, as well as two weapon racks. Jing Siye would practice here every morning when he wakes up.
When Zhu Wenqin first arrived, he was doing odd jobs in the side yard. After venturing into the main yard that night, he spent the past few days lying on the bed.
His injuries had finally healed a little today, so he thought he should hurry up and look for clues.
In Zhu Wenqin's opinion, her uncle's case was tried by the big devil, and those so-called "evidence" must still be in the big devil's hands. As long as he secretly took those things away and destroyed them, her uncle would not have to be beheaded.
In the main courtyard, the study is a restricted area, and some important official documents must be kept there. However, the door to the study was guarded, and no one could enter without the prince's permission.
Normally, when the prince is around, I would serve tea or water.
But the prince was inside, and as a subordinate, I was not allowed to look around, let alone look for documents.
Alas, this is a bit difficult for Mr. Zhu.
Zhu Wenqin was just feeling worried when an anxious voice came from far away: "Second brother! Second brother!"
Zhu Wenqin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes and a jade crown on his head hurriedly running towards Jing Siye's study.
Second brother?
The person coming should be the third prince Jing Sirui.
The young man rushed into the study room sweating profusely. Without even taking a breath, he grabbed Jing Siye's arms, his eyes red:
"Second brother, I heard from my brother the Crown Prince that the Emperor wants you..."
Hearing this, Jing Siye made a gesture to keep quiet.
Jing Sirui glanced outside the door, then stamped his foot on the ground, choked with sobs and asked in a low voice:
"Second brother, didn't you say you were trying to find a way to redress General Li? How's the progress?"
Jing Siye let out a heavy sigh and slowly shook his head.
Jing Sirui was anxious: "Second brother, in my heart, you are omnipotent. You must have a way this time, right?"
Jing Siye: "Third brother, I know your feelings for Li Xiao. This matter is too complicated and dangerous. I really don't want you to get involved. You must go to my house less often during this period."
Jing Sirui became even more anxious: "No, second brother, you don't have someone you like, so you don't know what it feels like. Can you still sit still while watching him being beheaded?"
Jing Siye: ...
Someone you like?
Why did I suddenly think of that little guy?
"Second brother, are you listening to me?" Jing Sirui shook Jing Siye's sleeve.
Jing Siye came back to his senses and said, "Third brother, Second Brother will do his best. We found the letter of treason in Li Xiao's bedroom. It's not a coincidence that they searched him. There must be someone inside the General's Mansion."
Jing Sirui: "Then why didn't Second Brother interrogate the servants in General Li's mansion?"
Jing Siye: "Second brother, I figured it out. A servant named Erniu disappeared in General Li's mansion. He was probably silenced."
Jing Sirui: "What should we do? Second brother, please save General Li."
Seeing his third brother so sad, Jing Siye reached out and gently patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Third brother, second brother promised you that he would do his best. Also, you just said that it was the eldest brother who told you the news?"
Jing Sirui sobbed and nodded: "Well, what's wrong?"
Jing Siye: "Nothing? Second brother knows, you should be more careful in the palace and don't run around everywhere."
Jing Sirui: “Okay, third brother understands.” After that, he left the study, looking back every few steps.
