The emperor didn't want to listen to what the minister cried out at the beginning. The guards who came up seemed to have received someone's signal and covered the minister's mouth and took him away.

Zhao Ji was worried and anxious. At this moment, a perceptive eunuch rushed forward and helped Zhao Ji put on his outer robe.

Zhao Ji didn't need to say anything at this time, he just needed to stand there and watch the show quietly.

In fact, he was mainly observing which minister had a wrong expression.

Who is the mastermind behind this?

The prime minister closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression had returned to normal.

No one expected that at this time it would be the prime minister who stood up and agreed with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has been so dedicated to the country and the people, but now he has been framed by a hateful person. It is obvious that someone must be jealous of Lord Zhao!"

"I think Lord Zhao should be rewarded."

The Prime Minister's words touched the emperor's heart at this moment. The emperor now hoped that someone would speak up and give him a way out.

Since the prime minister offered this opportunity, the emperor immediately accepted it.

"Lord Zhao has been wronged so much. I will make this clear today. If any of what happened in the court today gets out, I will immediately send someone to dig out the tongue of the person who is gossiping and throw it to the market to feed the dogs..."

"Lord Zhao, you just built a house outside the palace. I'm afraid it's time to build a new mansion. Lord Zhao, listen to my orders!"

Zhao Ji stepped forward obediently to receive the order.

"I appreciate your contribution to the Hua'an County, so I'm giving you a thousand taels of gold, a bushel of pearls, and a hundred hectares of fertile land!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the court could not help but reveal envy in their eyes.

What is the difference between such a reward and a title of nobility?

Moreover, some kings, princes, generals and ministers did not even have hundreds of acres of fertile land.

Zhao Ji felt the jealous eyes of his colleagues behind him and a smile appeared on his lips.

Received the emperor's reward.

Today's wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk.

What happened in the court could not be spread outside the palace, but the Queen Mother still got the news.

This was mainly because the Empress Dowager had been paying close attention to news from the court and had spies in front of the emperor.

"How is this possible? How could he be... flat?"

The young eunuch who went out to gather information looked honest, but he was very eloquent. He described what happened in the hall vividly and even imitated different tones according to the voices of different ministers.

When he described the scene of Zhao Ji's innocence in the hall, the Queen Mother subconsciously shouted out this sentence.

Soon the queen realized that something was wrong and glanced at him. The eunuch immediately knelt on the ground and promised again and again: "I will never tell anyone. From now on, I will be a mute!"

The queen said nothing, but asked the eunuch to continue describing.

But I kept wondering in my heart, how could Zhao Ji be flat?

You have to know that when the two of them were doing things in this room, the Queen knew clearly about Zhao Ji's physical conditions.

If others were smaller, it would be fine, but Zhao Ji was clearly not like that.

But there were so many courtiers in the court, and they were all men, so it was impossible for them to be easily deceived.

"Zhao Ji has too many secrets... This matter is full of strange things!"

The queen muttered to herself by the window, and suddenly turned around to find that the eunuch was still kneeling on the ground trembling with fear.

There was a trace of regret in the Queen's eyes. She fiddled with the orchids by the window with her red-haired fingers and said casually, "Su Da, you have been with me for several years. I like your amazing memory and vivid descriptions."

"You did a good job today. Go ask Madam Zheng for your reward. If you do a good job in the future, you will definitely get some benefits..."

"It's just the same...Watch your mouth and your eyes..."

After the Queen finished speaking with such earnest words, the eunuch named Su Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the Queen.

There was a scar on Nanny Zheng's face, and her expression looked stiff and rigid, like that of an elderly person.

If it weren't for her head full of black hair, Su Da would probably have thought that Nanny Zheng was a hard-working old lady who lived and worked in the fields.

Su Da didn't dare to offend Nanny Zheng. It was said that Nanny Zheng was the nanny the Queen trusted the most. So when Nanny Zheng took Su Da to a remote place in the palace, Su Da didn't even have a doubt.

I just thought that for something like giving a reward, I needed to go to a slightly more secluded environment.

"Madame Zheng..."

Before Su Da could finish his words, he saw a black shadow passing before his eyes. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his head and a stream of warm water flowed down his head.

It seemed to flow into the eyes, and when I opened my eyes, everything in front of me was scarlet. It turned out that the warm water was actually blood.

The world in front of him became increasingly darker. Su Da smiled bitterly, "After all, the Queen never believed me..."

Nanny Zheng watched Su Da breathe his last and his body slowly cooled down before she straightened up.

She had been hunched over in the palace for too long, and now she was a little uncomfortable with her sudden return to normal.

"Su Da, don't blame me. You should only blame yourself for hearing things you shouldn't have heard and seeing things you shouldn't have seen. In this palace, only the dead have the most strict mouths..."

When Nanny Zheng returned to the Queen's palace, the Queen had already finished washing and was ready to go to bed.

"Are you done?" the queen asked softly.

Nanny Zheng returned to her hunched over appearance of hard work, nodded, and said nothing more.

The lights in the queen's bedroom went out, and the room fell into darkness.

But the queen was destined to remain sleepless tonight, because she could not figure out how Zhao Ji disguised himself.

How can such a thing be hidden?

Zhao Ji was practicing the innate skills in his palace at this time. After the big cycle was completed, he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"These days, my skills have become more and more sophisticated. I can even change my facial features at will, and I can even shrink that thing! I am really lucky to have this skill today, otherwise I don't know how I could have concealed the truth!"

Zhao Ji smiled and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. In the mirror, his waist was bulging.

Completely different from who he is in the court today.

I'm afraid those court officials are still wondering what went wrong in their plan.

Zhao Ji closed his eyes, and what appeared before his eyes was the Prime Minister asking the Emperor for a reward for him.

"They say a prime minister can hold a big heart. I think this prime minister should be able to hold a big heart as well. He adjusted his mood immediately and put on a show for me, his so-called enemy, and asked for a reward!"

Zhao Ji thought carefully about everything that happened today, and always felt that this matter was related to the Prime Minister!
