That day, Qi Huan left with his men in a daze.
Zhao Jun's words quickly spread throughout the palace.
No matter what the women behind her think, it is certain that they dare not provoke her rashly.
This incident caused quite a stir, and Sun Cheng, who had connections in the palace, of course got the news.
He hesitated whether to tell the king about this.
The result is of course affirmative.
If he doesn't tell the king, and the king finds out himself, he will be in trouble.
It’s just that the king has been in a bad mood recently, and Sun Cheng doesn’t know how angry the king will be when he finds out.
He took a peek outside the hall and walked in hesitantly.
"I heard you lingering outside the palace for quite some time. What's the matter?"
Ying Zheng held the memorial in his hand without looking up.
If he hadn't noticed the gazes of the people outside, he would have died hundreds of times.
"Uh, my king, I have something to report."
Because the atmosphere in the hall had been low these days, Sun Cheng spoke cautiously with his head down.
"explain."
Ying Zheng responded with a sullen face.
Sun Cheng recounted everything that happened in the palace yesterday without missing a word.
Including Qi Huan's siege of Zhao Jun and what Zhao Jun said afterwards.
Sun Cheng described it in great detail, without any exaggeration.
When his voice stopped, the hall was still silent.
The scene that Sun Cheng had expected of Ying Zheng getting angry and roaring did not occur.
Ying Zheng just put down what he was holding without saying a word.
He felt as if he should be angry, but at whom?
He strongly agreed with what Zhao Jun said.
He was even happy that Zhao Jun understood him so well.
Indeed, as long as Zhao Jun is useful to Qin, I will never give up on him.
She is different from the women in the harem.
Ying Zheng knew it very early on.
He felt a sense of mutual understanding towards Zhao Jun because she understood his ambitions and she felt the same way.
"My lord, do you need me to send someone to take care of this?"
Sun Cheng stood beside and asked cautiously.
"Deal with what."
"No need, she has handled it well on her own."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and let Sun Cheng go out.
He really liked one of the sentences Zhao Jun said.
She and those women were never really on the same page.
He has many women.
But there was only one female official, Zhao Jun.
He was very satisfied with Zhao Jun's answer and was in a good mood, so he decided to go and express his condolences in person.
After Zhao Jun dealt with Qi Huan, he went to the Mo family workshop to find Ju Zi.
I gave the restoration drawing to Juzi and asked him to think about it first. It shouldn't be very difficult anyway.
When Zhao Jun returned later, she clearly felt that the palace maids were no longer peeking at her.
Everyone who passed by her lowered their heads and walked very fast with their tails between their legs.
Zhao Jun didn't know that what he said was so effective.
In fact, that's not entirely true, because someone from Qi Huan said that Zhao Jun knows witchcraft and can knock down three people in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was afraid of her, so seeing her was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Qingliu, who had just returned from the office, also heard about what happened in the afternoon.
When she returned to the palace, she immediately gave Zhao Jun a thumbs up.
"Well done, sir. Now let them gossip about it again."
Qingliu had long known that the atmosphere in the palace was not good, and this was really gratifying.
"Okay, you've been tired all day, don't be so excited, go and rest."
Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly and wanted to send Qingliu away.
"Okay, I'll go right away, but what you said later was really powerful, sir."
"You are so amazing, I even feel that the king is not worthy of you."
Qingliu spoke quietly, and then looked around vigilantly.
Zhao Jun found her expression somewhat funny. She was now much more cheerful than before and no longer had a stern face every day.
"Do you dare to say this louder?" Zhao Jun joked with a smile.
"I still don't dare."
Qingliu secretly stuck out her tongue. If outsiders heard this, she would definitely be torn into pieces by five horses. She didn't dare to do that.
Qingliu didn't say much and soon went back to the house to rest.
Zhao Jun glanced at her departing figure, then returned to his room with a smile.
She was not wrong. I also felt that Ying Zheng was not very worthy of me.
The next day, Qingliu went out as usual.
Zhao Jun stayed in bed for a while and decided to get up and go see Juzi.
She had just finished cleaning up and was about to go to the kitchen for breakfast when Ying Zheng came over with his men.
In an instant, Zhiyang Palace was filled with people.
This was Ying Zheng's third visit to Zhiyang Palace.
It seems the place is a bit small.
Zhao Jun put on a standard smile the moment he saw him.
"My king, how come you come here so early?"
Could it be that he is here to blame me for what happened yesterday?
She secretly complained.
"You haven't been to the front hall for almost a month. I thought you were busy with work and was planning to come and check on you, but you still have time to fight. I guess you have plenty of energy."
Ying Zheng walked to the pavilion in the yard and sat down. This was where he had eaten hot pot when he came for the second time.
The attendants who followed him were tactfully dismissed aside by Sun Cheng.
Only he himself was still standing not far away.
He also wanted to hear what happened to Lord Zhao, as he hadn't been seen for a month.
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the King of Zhao began to howl in his heart.
It’s over, it’s over. This guy must be here to call for punishment.
"Your Majesty, I have been resting behind closed doors for a while now, gathering my strength to deal with the upcoming affairs."
"As for the beating, that wasn't something I initiated."
Zhao Jun said this with confidence.
You can blame me if you want, it's not my fault anyway.
"Alright, I already know about your affairs."
"I have no intention of punishing you. It is indeed not your fault."
"You are right. As long as you continue to contribute to the Qin State, I will not punish you."
Ying Zheng said lightly, he had never said that it was impossible to punish anyone.
"Your Majesty, that is certain. I will do my utmost to contribute to the Qin State."
Zhao Jun bowed and nodded affirmatively.
Ying Zheng frowned unconsciously and looked up at Zhao Jun next to him for a while.
Why does it feel like she seems a little different today?
Seems to have become more respectful.
Ying Zheng stared at her carefully for a while, and Zhao Jun smiled with his expression unchanged.
"Ahem, then you go ahead and do your work. I have something to do so I'll go back first."
Ying Zheng tried hard to shake off that unnatural feeling.
The King of Zhao will continue to work for him and for the State of Qin. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
It would be nice to just keep building the empire like we are doing now.
He nodded in his heart and walked out with a relaxed feeling.
Sun Cheng also lowered his head and followed behind him.
He didn't understand one thing.
Why doesn’t the king ask Lord Zhao why he hasn’t been going to the front hall?
Isn’t the king unhappy because he hasn’t seen Lord Zhao for a long time?
