Chapter 108: The Merit of Rescuing the Emperor
There are three life gates for a man: fame, face, and wallet.
The easiest thing to control is face.
Any man would have his veins popping up, his fists trembling, and would want to tear the adulterer to pieces on the spot just by seeing a woman cheating on him.
This was a trap set by Ji Hongde for Ji Changqing.
He never expected that when he woke up, he would see a scene on the bed that made him tear his eyes out.
A young man was lying side by side between him and He!
At that moment, it was as if thousands of firecrackers exploded in his mind, making him dizzy and smoke coming out of his seven orifices.
Without thinking, he pulled the man off the bed, grabbed the drum stool at the edge of the bed, and hit him once, twice, three times... making the man howl sharply.
"What are you doing?!"
He was awakened by the screams of pain and looked at Ji Hongde in amazement, who looked like a madman.
Ji Hongde turned his head, his eyes red.
"You still have the nerve to ask?" He roared, "You stole a man and put him in our bed, and you think I'm dead!"
He looked bewildered.
"What did you say? Stealing a man? Why would I steal a man at my age? And even stealing him into my bed? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ji Hongde pointed his drum stool at the man beside the bed, whose head was bleeding from the beating he had received, and roared, "This man was just lying between us!"
What? !
He was horrified.
There's an extra man in their bed?!
How could she not know!
"Calm down, I have no idea who this is! I laid down with you last night! Have you forgotten?!"
After saying that, she quickly stood up, rushed to the locker room, checked her body carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing wrong.
After changing, she returned to the dormitory and said to Ji Hongde, "I haven't been touched. Ask this person how he got into our bed."
Ji Hongde has calmed down a bit.
Even if He wanted to have an affair, she would not bring the person into bed with him while they were sleeping in the same bed, unless she was crazy.
If this man is not her lover, where did he come from?
He turned his gaze to the man and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Lu Wude spat out a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "A man in black brought me here in the middle of the night. He knocked me unconscious as soon as he entered the room. I didn't do anything..."
Ji Hongde questioned him a few more times and finally figured out this man's background.
It turned out that he was the scoundrel who had his followers find to seduce Feng!
This is simply outrageous!
It was clear who that man in black belonged to - who else could it be but his lawless, shameless, evil grandson!
Throwing a wild man onto your grandparents' bed, is this something a human being can do!
"brute!"
Veins popped out on his forehead.
"Why didn't that assassination attempt end him?"
"A-choo!"
Ji Changqing woke up in the morning and sneezed.
The wound that had just been sutured was almost broken by the shock.
"It must be Old Man Ji scolding me," he thought to himself, "He must have received the generous gift I gave to him and his wife."
Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated.
By asking this despicable person to harass Feng Qingsui, is he looking down on Feng Qingsui, or is he looking down on him?
Feng Qingsui came for a follow-up visit and noticed that he was in a good mood. Thinking of Wuhua's visit to Lu Wude's house last night but finding nothing, he asked with a smile, "Did Lu Wude get taken away by your people?"
Ji Changqing played dumb: "What Lü Wude?"
Feng Qingsui raised an eyebrow: "You don't know? He's the scoundrel who's been hanging around me these past few days. He looks clumsy and kind of cute."
Ji Changqing: “!!!”
cute? !
She actually thought that scoundrel Lu Wude was cute?!
What a taste!
He gritted his teeth and decided to let Zhuying go to that bastard's house again tonight and break both of his legs.
So that bastard won’t hang around her again.
Feng Qingsui knew it was him who did it just by looking at his expression. His secret guard followed her all day long, so it was impossible for him not to know about Lu Wude.
She originally wanted Wuhua to teach Lu Wude a lesson in secret, but she didn't expect this guy to get there first.
This man is indeed very pragmatic.
Before, he would ignore her unless she asked him for help, but now that she helped him get a bullet, he became attentive.
If I treat his injuries a few more times, it wouldn't be difficult to ask him to cook for me in the future, right?
Ji Changqing couldn't hear what she was thinking. When he saw a smile slowly appear on the corners of her lips, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that she really thinks Lu Wude is cute?
No, we need to add another leg.
Lu Wude, who had just been thrown out of Ji's house, felt a chill under his crotch.
Because of Lu Wude's incident, Ji Changqing was not happy at all during his injury leave.
After his wounds began to heal, he returned to attend the morning court.
His Majesty, upon seeing him, inquired after his injuries, and then said, "My dear minister, for your meritorious service in rescuing me, I grant you a favor. Ask for it, and I will grant it."
Ji Changqing's achievement of saving the emperor was actually a bit hollow.
The assassin missed his aim and the bullet that was meant for His Majesty landed on him.
He had already suffered, so it couldn't be in vain.
Therefore, at the moment he was shot, he stood in front of His Majesty and shouted "Your Majesty, be careful!", then he cried out in pain and pretended to be shot.
At that time, everyone's attention was on the female assassin, and his little action was not noticed by anyone.
No one can ever have too much of the Holy Favor.
This merit of saving the emperor is his golden ticket to immunity from death. Even if the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked in the future, Your Majesty must leave him a way out.
Otherwise, who would risk their life for him?
The reward for him had been thought of long ago.
After hearing the emperor's questions, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Saving the Emperor is the duty of a minister. I dare not take credit for it. If Your Majesty allows me to be so presumptuous, I have only one thing to ask for, and I beg for His Majesty's grace."
"When my mother remained faithful to my late father, she was still in her prime. Her relatives called her 'a curse on her husband,' but she never argued or argued. Instead, she diligently taught me and my elder brother to study diligently and to serve our country with loyalty."
"I only wish to ask for a set of imperial robes for my mother, to repay her kindness in raising me and educating me."
The emperor readily agreed: "I agree."
He conferred the title of First-Rank Lady of the State on Qi, and on the same day ordered the Hanlin Academy to draft the imperial edict and send it to Ji's mansion together with the imperial edict clothes.
The ladies of various noble families were worried that they could not find opportunities to interact with the Ji family, so upon hearing the news, they came to the house with gifts to congratulate.
For a while, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the Ji Mansion.
In sharp contrast to the bustling Dongji is naturally the deserted Xiji.
When He learned that Qi was awarded the first-rank imperial edict, she was so angry that she threw several pairs of chopsticks.
——I also wanted to smash the cup, but I couldn’t bear to do it.
"This imperial decree should have been mine!"
She was mad with rage.
Ji Hongde failed to win a first-rank imperial edict for her. She had hoped that her eldest son would win it for him, but he was killed by Qi.
Now that her grandson had accomplished the feat of saving the emperor, she should have asked for an imperial decree from her grandmother, but...
Thinking of Ji Changqing throwing a man onto her and Ji Hongde's bed, she became even more angry and fainted from anger.
Little did she know that there were people who were even angrier than her.
