Chapter 468 The Third Day
Day 3.
Feng Aoqing was sick, and the whole family was very anxious, especially Yu Tingfeng. He even stopped going to court and focused on accompanying Feng Aoqing.
Feng Aoqing was already lying on the bed, unable to move or speak.
Yu Tingfeng was almost on the verge of collapse.
He refused all visitors to Feng Aoqing and stayed alone with her.
He drafted an edict, handing over all Yuanwu's political affairs to Zhu Mingbo.
This is undoubtedly not a good thing for Zhu Mingbo.
After all, he is just an official, not even a prime minister. How can he manage the country for the emperor!
Even if he worked day and night and devoted all his energy to it, it would not be against the rules!
He requested to see Yu Tingfeng, hoping that he would revoke his decision and hand over the state affairs to the Three Prime Ministers.
But Yu Tingfeng didn't meet him. Instead, he said to him through the door: "You make the decision. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Don't bother me anymore. If you can't do it, then let someone else do it."
Zhu Mingbo knew his own abilities! He had no choice but to withdraw, return to the court, and tell the ministers about Yu Tingfeng's decision.
Some people say: "The emperor was away for so long before, and the whole Yuanwu is still going on. It doesn't matter. We should just do what we need to do."
Some people say: Empress Fenghua is ill, and the Emperor is naturally anxious, but he can't let a...
Someone said: Yes! We are of the same quality, how can I feel bad about this?
......
Anyway, there are all kinds of comments, and the general meaning is that it doesn’t matter whether Yu Tingfeng is in charge of government affairs, what matters is how Zhu Mingbo can be allowed to be in charge of government affairs.
Zhu Mingbo smiled and stood in the middle of the hall.
"Are you questioning the Emperor's decision?"
Everyone fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
"I just want to remind you that it is Empress Fenghua who is ill, not the Emperor."
Everyone looked at each other and thought that it was true. The emperor was fine. Even if Empress Fenghua was dead, the emperor was still the emperor.
"No need to say more. Wait until the emperor returns, then you can impeach me. Now, bring all your unresolved problems to me, and I will solve them for you one by one."
At this time, Zhu Mingbo's expression was very serious. He stood in the middle of the hall as if he was the owner of the hall. Everyone was infected by his emotions and said "yes" one after another.
After the court officials left, Zhu Mingbo sat in the outer room of the study in the main hall.
The inner room was a place he could not trespass into.
Moreover, he originally had a desk here, and he had spent many days and nights here when they discussed matters together.
The door to the inner room was open, and he could see it as soon as he raised his eyes.
Just as he was lost in thought, the eunuch at the door came to announce, "Master Zhu, Princess Qinyi is here."
Zhu Mingbo then withdrew his gaze and stood up.
Princess Qinyi walked into the palace.
"It's raining!" Zhu Mingbo walked over and saw that Qinyi's skirt was a little wet and the soles of her shoes were also wet.
"Yeah, it's raining." Qin Yi still looked well-behaved.
"If that's the case, why not take a sedan chair? Why are you walking?"
Zhu Mingbo helped her sit down on the chair.
The palace door was closed by the young eunuch.
Zhu Mingbo squatted down, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the water off Qinyi's shoes.
"It's comfortable to take a walk even in the rain! Don't be afraid."
Although Qin Yi said this, she did not stop Zhu Mingbo from stopping.
Zhu Mingbo wiped it carefully, pressed it gently, and absorbed the water on the shoe surface before stopping.
"It's getting heavier. The princess will have to ride in a sedan chair when she returns."
"Yeah, okay." Qin Yi replied with a smile.
Qinyi was sitting and Zhu Mingbo was standing. They looked at each other and both seemed to be smiling.
After a while, Qinyi took the initiative to extend her hand towards Zhu Mingbo, and Zhu Mingbo shook it.
"Isn't today a good day?" Qin Yi asked gently.
Zhu Mingbo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I can take care of everything."
"Well, I'm worried that you'll be wronged, but you don't have to be afraid. Think about how your brother got through it. At that time, although I felt sorry for him, I also felt that iron-bloodedness has its advantages."
"Yes, Princess is right." Zhu Mingbo nodded in response.
"I'm not teaching you how to do things. I don't understand these things. I hope you're well." Qin Yi paused for a moment and said slowly.
"Yes, I understand the princess's intentions."
"I've brought you food. You must eat well and have a good rest at night. Don't damage your body. From now on, I will rely on you, and Yuanwu will also rely on you." Qin Yi gently squeezed Zhu Mingbo's hand.
Zhu Mingbo helped her up and had the palace door opened.
He ordered the eunuch at the door: "Go and prepare the sedan chair."
Then she turned to the maidservant following the princess and said, "When you return, you must change your clothes and shoes immediately. It's very cold in autumn, so don't catch a cold."
Zhu Mingbo helped Princess Qinyi onto the sedan chair and watched her leave the hall.
When they passed the main hall and turned to the garden between the front hall and the harem, Qinyi stopped the sedan chair.
She walked into the rain.
"Princess!" The little palace maids and eunuchs who followed her ran into the rain in panic.
"It's raining too hard, Princess! You'll get gonorrhea..."
Qin Yi didn't listen to their words at all and pushed away the palace maid holding the umbrella.
She also walked down the cobblestone path and onto the grass beside the road.
The rain had been falling for a while, and the mud under the grass was wet, so mud and water would squeeze out when you stepped on it.
The mud and water soaked Qin Yi's shoes and skirt, making her look disheveled.
However, she seemed very happy and even laughed out loud.
......
In a dilapidated house.
The man in gray said, "My master said you did an excellent job this time, and your method is also very good. Death is not the best outcome. Also, this is your thank you gift."
The man in gray threw a bag of gold at the feet of the man in black.
He was so disdainful that the cloth bag fell to the ground, and the gold scattered out of the bag and rolled all over the floor.
The man in black did not pick it up. Instead, he looked at the gold and smiled: "I don't want the gold. I just want my people to be safe."
The gray-clothed man still had that look of disdain on his face: "Your people will have their own masters to protect them from now on. If you obey them and do your job well, they will naturally live. If you have any second thoughts, not only will you die, but they will all be buried with you."
The man in black said coldly: "I have done what I should do. There is nothing else I can do. I am going back."
The man in gray did not answer, but instead let out a strange laugh.
"Go back? Can you go back? Where you go is not up to you."
The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "But I can't kill them. I'm not strong enough."
"You think too little of yourself. You can do a lot more. My master is the best at knowing how to appoint the right people to the right positions. People like you are the ones he loves the most. As long as you swear allegiance to the master, you will definitely have a share of wealth and glory."
"The thorn denies the Lord."
"The thorn is that the master is nothing but gold, and as it happens, we have many masters."
The man in gray took a step forward and fiddled with the gold ingot on the ground with his feet.
