Chapter 404 Inheritance
The next day at court, Qin Jinzhi asked for leave.
Qin Jinzhi, who is usually as busy as a spinning top, has taken leave.
The Empress looked worried and glared at the Emperor.
That brat didn't tell him!
The prince's eyes grew increasingly gloomy as he noticed the missing figure above.
The people in the palace were full of speculation, while the protagonist was enjoying a leisurely life at home.
Qin Jinzhi lay on the swing covered with a small floral quilt.
Feiyan sat to the side and helped Yunjin remove the pits from the fruit.
The Empress forbade Qin Jinzhi from entering the Jiaofang Palace, and even sent Feiyan out with her.
Fatty came out of the small kitchen carrying the Dragon and Phoenix Dumplings.
He placed the pastries on the table, but his eyes were fixed on the doorway.
Qin Jinzhi opened one eye and looked at Fatty, then laughed out loud, "Hey Fatty, how old are you? Still playing the 'young love' game?"
Fatty glared at her. "What love? Nonsense."
Qin Jinzhi closed her eyes again. "Fine, I'm talking nonsense. Feiyan, quickly bring me the Dragon and Phoenix Dumplings that Fatty has just researched so I can try them."
Feiyan eagerly brought over the Dragon and Phoenix Dumplings.
Qin Jinzhi took one and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, this Fatty's cooking is really good. I'm so lucky to be able to eat Fatty's pastries every day."
Feiyan and Yunjin each took one, and while eating, they glanced at Fatty and chuckled.
Fatty tossed his apron aside and said, "I'm craving some wine, so I've come to ask for some."
Feiyan, being very perceptive, went back into the house and brought out two jars of wine, placing them in Fatty's hands.
Fatty looked at the grinning Feiyan and immediately said, "You little fat swallow, I won't cook anything delicious for you anymore."
Feiyan quickly ran to Qin Jinzhi's side.
Qin Jinzhi stood up. "How have you been, Ajiao and Aman?"
Fatty's expression softened considerably after hearing this. "This body-forging technique is inherently difficult for women to cultivate. Although Ajiao and Aman may not be the most talented, they are willing to endure hardship and have perseverance. Heaven rewards diligence, and their utmost effort is also a kind of talent. I am very satisfied with these two disciples. Find a time when you can be my witness, and I will formally drink the apprenticeship tea."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "To receive such high praise from Fatty, I thank Fatty on their behalf for his guidance."
At this moment, Fatty stood up and said, "But kid, it's been years since we sparred. I have to see how your martial arts have improved these past few years."
Since Qin Jinzhi started learning martial arts, Fatty has always been the one to teach her the moves.
This is why Qin Jinzhi exudes such a strong killing intent when she uses her martial arts.
Feiyan and Yunjin quickly grabbed their things and sat down to one side.
The name of this Bloodthirsty Buddha is quite prestigious, Yun Jin looked on with excitement.
Qin Jinzhi got up and walked to the middle of the courtyard.
He stretched out a hand, "Fatty, please enlighten me."
The fat man smiled and touched his bald head.
With a light touch of his toes, he darted away.
With strength that could uproot mountains and an aura that could overwhelm the world, Fatty's fist seemed to shatter even the wind.
Qin Jinzhi did not dodge, but instead faced the wind head-on.
She raised her arms to block, but was knocked back dozens of steps by the fat man's punch.
Qin Jinzhi shook her arms, which were still numb from the shock, and excitement appeared in her eyes.
Fatty's fist came again with the wind, and Qin Jinzhi met it head-on. However, this time she did not block it directly. Instead, she wrapped her arm around Fatty's fist, moved her body behind Fatty, and pushed Fatty's back with a palm. Fatty was actually thrown several meters away!
Fatty's face lit up with a smile. "Good lad, using someone's strength against them, let's do it again!"
The two fought fiercely.
Although Fatty was just a sparring partner, he didn't hold back.
If they encounter an enemy, they will only be cruel.
Therefore, Qin Jinzhi must either be so agile that she can dodge any attack, or be strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Fatty.
Yun Jin was utterly astonished; the move was incredibly ruthless.
It felt like the two of them owed each other a lot of lives.
An hour later, Qin Jinzhi collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Feiyan and Yunjin rushed over, one wiping away sweat and the other feeding her tea.
Fatty sat down at the table, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
“Your martial arts skills have improved a lot in the past three years, which is why you can fight me for so long.”
Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "Faced with the threat of life and death, how can one survive without striving for excellence?"
Just as Fatty was about to speak, he heard an anxious voice from the doorway.
"Golden Branch!"
Xiao Saijin rushed in from the doorway.
She had just arrived at the door when she saw Qin Jinzhi lying on the ground.
Yun Jin and Fei Yan were still squatting nearby.
She rushed over, "What's wrong, Jinzhi!"
The fact that Qin Jinzhi had been poisoned had been a constant source of anxiety for her.
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi collapse, Xiao Saijin immediately assumed that Qin Jinzhi had been poisoned.
When Fatty saw Xiao Saijin, he quickly stood up and said, "Kid, you're fine. You just ran out of energy after exchanging a few moves with me."
Xiao Saijin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Jinzhi smiled mischievously as she looked at Fatty's nervous expression.
Fatty's eyelids twitched when he saw Qin Jinzhi's wicked smile.
Oh no, that brat is up to no good again.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Qin Jinzhi say, "Grandma, my arm hurts."
The fat man was breathing heavily.
Xiao Saijin immediately glared at the fat man, "Just wait, I'll deal with you later!"
She turned around and said, "Come on, let's go inside and rest."
The group walked towards the room, and Qin Jinzhi made a face at Fatty.
To spar with Fatty requires giving it your all; every nerve in your body must be on edge.
I actually fell asleep when I got back to my room.
When I woke up, it was already evening.
Fatty and Xiao Saijin are not at the mansion.
After having dinner, Qin Jinzhi went to Uncle Qin's courtyard.
Two servants were helping Uncle Qin walk in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi and the other two, she immediately exclaimed, "Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Qin Bo's leg and said, "It looks like it's recovering well."
Qin Bo smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess, for inviting Doctor Liu to come to this old servant. Doctor Liu said that my leg needs to be trained every day, and in less than two months, I will be able to walk normally again."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "This leg injury was inflicted by Uncle Qin for my grandfather, so it is only right that I treat it for you."
The servant helped Uncle Qin to sit down to the side.
Qin Jinzhi sat down to the side and said, "Grandfather often talks about your legs. Once you recover, Uncle Qin, Grandfather and I will finally be able to put our minds at ease."
Qin Bo said, "I am truly grateful that the princess cares so much about this old servant."
Qin Jinzhi poured a cup of tea. “If Grandfather hears this, he’ll start nagging you again. You and Grandfather are like brothers. I heard that when Grandfather was on campaign, he only felt at ease when he entrusted you with the management of supplies and provisions. On the battlefield, we only entrust our backs to the people closest to us. You know, my grandfather has always considered you family.”
The importance of supplies and provisions during military campaigns is self-evident.
Qin Bo respectfully said, "I am grateful that Your Highness has entrusted me with such an important task. If it weren't for my useless leg, this old servant would still want to fight alongside Your Highness."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "I heard that your son later followed in your footsteps and helped my father manage the supplies. It can be considered a kind of inheritance. It's just a pity that the battlefield is ruthless."
