Chapter 135 Wind Prison Pass
Qin Jinzhi looked at the envoy and asked, "What is your name?"
The envoy was taken aback. "Your humble servant is Qi Tianxing."
Qin Jinzhi smiled at him, "Then wait until everyone has reached a conclusion with the Court of State Ceremonial, and I will let you see the person."
Huangfu Nanying's face turned deathly pale. This crazy woman really dared to kill him!
At this moment, the emperor said with a smile, "Since the Chu Kingdom wants to renegotiate, I will give you some time. After the negotiations with the Court of State Ceremonial are completed, I will host a banquet for you in the palace. Jinzhi, quickly put away your sword, don't hurt the Fourteenth Prince."
Huangfu Nanying really wanted to yell at him, "Can't you see my neck is already bleeding?"
Qin Jinzhi sheathed her sword and returned to the emperor's side.
The ministers below reacted with varying expressions in an instant.
Having an overbearing princess isn't so bad!
This is such a blatant display of national power!
However, many people have also noticed that Qin Jinzhi, this spoiled young princess, seems to be more than she appears.
Even they didn't know about the ninth prince of the enemy country, yet this person actually knew.
Is this His Majesty's will, or a scheme by the Qin family?
The Chu delegation, accompanied by Huangfu Nanying, took their leave.
Huangfu Nanying covered her neck and turned back to give Qin Jinzhi a gloomy look.
This crazy woman looks familiar!
He must have seen her before!
When the court session ended, Wei Lin, who had taken office that day, waited for Qin Jinzhi to come out.
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi, he walked over and said, "Princess."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Wei Cha, who was frequently looking back in the distance, and asked, "What wrong has your father done?"
Wei Lin smiled and said, "Princess, please don't make fun of my father. I came to ask you what outcome you want in the negotiations with the State of Chu."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you ask His Majesty about this?"
Wei Lin smiled slightly, "It's a promise, I will work for you."
Qin Jinzhi smiled, "If your father heard this, he'd beat you to death."
Wei Lin laughed even harder, "Then I beg the princess for protection."
Qin Jinzhi's smile vanished. "I want Fenglao Pass."
Fenglao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it an important pass at the border between the two countries.
The reason why the State of Jin could not conquer the State of Chu for a long time was because Chu occupied Fenglao Pass.
Wei Lin nodded, "Your subject understands."
After saying that, he left.
Wei Cha saw Wei Lin approaching, glanced at Qin Jinzhi, and finally walked up to him and asked, "What did that little rascal say to you?"
Wei Lin said with a smile, "The princess asked me to ask the Chu Kingdom for more things."
Wei Cha looked as if he had just expected it. "She's just a little money-grubber. Even so, don't disappoint her. The Chu Kingdom has been at war with our country for so long, wasting resources and manpower. It's only right that she bleeds a little."
Wei Lin expressed his agreement.
Qin Jinzhi did not go to the inner palace, but returned to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
She changed into an extremely luxurious outfit.
The gold hairpins and hair ornaments on her head further accentuated her wealth and status.
Qin Jinzhi turned around and asked, "Is it flashy enough?"
Yun Jin circled around Qin Jinzhi and said, "Not only is it ostentatious, it's also extravagant. If it weren't for your face, Princess, I would have thought that nouveau riche had come out."
The other three also unusually expressed their agreement.
Not only Qin Jinzhi, but also Yun Jin and the other three were dressed in a very elegant manner.
If you didn't know she was Qin Jinzhi's maid, you could easily mistake her for a young lady from a wealthy family.
Qin Jinzhi put on several more gold bracelets.
"Prepare a carriage for me, and bring the guards from the Prince's residence. We're going to the Zheng residence."
Since Zheng Qi was willing to beg her to collect the body, he must not have wanted to die silently.
Qin Jinzhi's identity and reputation in the capital will surely cause a stir with her death.
Although I don't know what she's doing, she'll do as she wishes.
When Liu Yiyi saw Qin Jinzhi, her eyes practically lit up.
Isn't she a walking money tree? Especially those gold bracelets on her wrists, their weight is obviously questionable.
Liu Yiyi said with a grin, "It's settled then, if we do an autopsy today, you'll give me this gold bracelet."
Qin Jinzhi laughed at her greedy look and picked two from her hand, throwing them into her arms.
Liu Yiyi was overjoyed and bit the bracelet.
I'm rich! Seriously rich!
When I got on the bus, I noticed there was a rather thin girl on board.
Bai Juanjuan felt very uneasy while waiting in such a luxurious carriage, as it was her first time riding in one.
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi introduced Liu Yiyi, "This is a coroner from my Qianniao Division."
Liu Yiyi's eyes immediately lit up, "A female coroner! This is my first time seeing one, please give me your guidance!"
Bai Juanjuan looked at her fair and delicate hands and felt a little embarrassed.
His hands, worn from years of working with corpses, always had a bluish-gray, deathly color.
Liu Yiyi grabbed her hand, "This is probably caused by prolonged contact with corpses. I'll make you a kind of ointment, and you'll recover completely after applying it for a month."
Qin Jinzhi gently leaned her head against the car; it did feel quite heavy.
She looked at Liu Yiyi and said with a smile, "Liu Yiyi, the future number one divine doctor in the world."
Liu Yiyi said in a affected manner, "Oh dear, what are you saying? I'm so shy."
Yun Jin hissed, "I'm getting goosebumps."
Liu Yiyi snorted at her.
We arrived at the Zheng residence.
As expected, the Zheng residence remained closed to visitors.
Outside the carriage, a servant stood in front of the Zheng residence holding an enormous bronze gong.
"when!!!"
"Princess Jinzhi has arrived!!! Everyone in the Zheng family, hurry up and greet her."
The scale of the operation was outrageously large.
After calling out three times, the servant calmly took a step back.
"Break down the door."
Just as the guards of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion were about to smash the gate with the battering ram,
The gates of the Zheng residence were opened.
Zheng Hongwen and his family hurriedly came out of the mansion.
"Your subject, Zheng Hongwen, pays respects to the Princess."
Zheng Hongwen, as the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, had countless students.
People in the court all respected him to some extent.
That Princess Jinzhi is such a scoundrel! I don't know what kind of evil wind blew her here today. Luckily she came out, or the gate would have been in grave danger.
Qin Jinzhi pushed open the carriage, stepped out, and stood in front of everyone.
"Chancellor Zheng, there's no need for such formalities. I am friends with your daughter, Zheng Qi. I heard she is seriously ill, so I came to visit her today."
Zheng Hongwen was taken aback. When did Xiao Qi become friends with this ancestor? Why had he never told the family about it?
Madam Zheng's face was also very pale, but she still said with a worried expression, "Thank you for your concern, Princess, but today Xiao Qi suddenly fell ill and has passed away."
Qin Jinzhi's face immediately turned angry. "What happened? How could someone so young suddenly fall ill!"
Zheng Hongwen immediately said, "It's true. My daughter had been bedridden for many days. I thought she would get better after some rest, but who would have thought that she would pass away."
His face seemed sad, but there was no trace of sorrow in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinzhi said, "In that case, I, the princess, will see her off. Where is the mourning hall? I will go and offer incense for her."
The Zheng couple shouted in unison:
"No!"
