Chapter 358 A Child's Promise Is Still a Promise
Qin Jinzhi has been kept in the palace for the past two days, but the Empress is not there.
They didn't tell her what they were going to do.
You can see those bald monks as soon as you step out of the yard.
Qin Jinzhi took Feiyan to the imperial kitchen.
The fat man was lying in a rocking chair, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Qin Jinzhi. "What's wrong, you little rascal, getting hungry again?"
Qin Jinzhi squatted down beside him. "Fatty, do you take on apprentices?"
Fatty looked at Qin Jinzhi, "You want to learn kung fu from me?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "I'll let it go, but if my master finds out, he'll definitely kill me."
The fat man raised an eyebrow. "Who wants to learn?"
He glanced at Feiyan, who was looking around nervously, and asked, "Does this little girl want to learn?"
After hearing this, Fei Yan looked at Qin Jinzhi and shook her head vigorously.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's not Feiyan."
The fat man sat up, raised one eyebrow, and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan. "What's in it for me?"
Qin Jinzhi leaned closer to Fatty, "You didn't drink the Xiaoyao Zui I brought you back to Beijing, did you?"
The fat man raised an eyebrow. "They're back?"
Qin Jinzhi shook her head. "This capital city is a place of heartbreak for her. I can't force her to come back, but I brought the wine back to you."
After hearing this, Fatty lay back down and said, "No way."
Qin Jinzhi stood up. "Oh, then the secret of a certain war god's crush on the legendary female general can't be kept. Come on, Feiyan, let's go have a chat with our imperial grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Fatty immediately sat up. "Come back!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at him with a grin, "I didn't leave."
The fat man glared at her. "Being my apprentice isn't so easy."
Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "After my birthday celebration, I will take you to meet people."
Fatty waved his hand hurriedly, "Let's go! I don't know who this bastard took after!"
Qin Jinzhi left with Feiyan, satisfied, saying as she walked, "Don't forget to prepare a birthday gift for me."
Fatty quickly closed his eyes; he had really forgotten!
After leaving the imperial kitchen, Qin Jinzhi felt rather bored.
The Empress Dowager has disappeared, and there are still bald monks in the palace.
My grandfather hasn't allowed her to leave the palace these past few days.
Qin Jinzhi lay on the pavilion in the Imperial Garden with her hands behind her head, and Feiyan ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the pavilion.
Qin Jinzhi did not open her eyes; the person was sitting not far from her.
After a while, Qin Jinzhi finally opened her eyes.
Tilting her head, she looked up and asked, "Xiao, Linglong?"
Xiao Linglong's expression was calm, but her words were direct and to the point.
"You killed Sixth Brother."
Qin Jinzhi closed her eyes again. "My brother is dead, but my aunt doesn't seem sad at all."
Xiao Linglong's expression remained unchanged upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's words.
"My maternal grandfather made a deal with my father, and the Yang family was willing to hand over some of their military power. My mother then pinned all the evidence on my sixth brother."
Father Emperor originally wanted to protect Sixth Brother, but you killed him instead.
If I tell Father about this, do you think he will become estranged from you?
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "Are you here today to threaten me?"
Xiao Linglong, however, remained expressionless as she looked at Qin Jinzhi. "No, I'm here to cooperate with you."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly upon hearing this, then opened her eyes. "Why should I cooperate with you?"
Xiao Linglong said with great confidence in her eyes, "Because I am smart enough. If you can cooperate with me, the things you want to do will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."
Qin Jinzhi looked at her, "What do you want?"
Xiao Linglong handed over a letter from her sleeve, saying, "Spare my mother's life."
Qin Jinzhi stood up and chuckled softly, then burst into laughter.
She looked at Xiao Linglong, "What should I do? I just want her dead."
Xiao Linglong was taken aback, then frowned, "Why! My mother has done nothing to antagonize you! Why can't you let her go!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Xiao Linglong, "Why would you come to me for help when we have no grudge against each other?"
Xiao Linglong's expression gradually turned cold. "You insist on doing this?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at Xiao Linglong, "You should still worry about your good sister. I heard that she gave many things to the Lu family in order to please her husband. It's hard to say whether there are any things among them that could kill your mother."
Xiao Linglong's expression changed, and she stood up to look at Qin Jinzhi, "In that case, we shall wait and see who comes out on top."
Feiyan returned with pastries just as Xiao Linglong was leaving the pavilion.
"Princess, what is the Tenth Princess doing here?"
Qin Jinzhi shrugged. "Maybe she's bored too."
Feiyan smiled, "Princess, look who I've brought?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinzhi looked behind her.
A small head peeked out from behind the flower bushes.
Consort Fang's wet nurse followed behind, smiling as she looked at Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi chuckled and waved to the two of them.
The two little dumplings immediately ran towards her on their short legs.
As Feiyan placed the pastries on the table, she said, "On the way back, we happened to run into the nanny leading the little prince and princess to catch butterflies. Hearing that you were here, the two princes wanted to come and find you."
Qin Jinzhi gave each of them a piece of pastry, and Jingyao looked at it before handing the pastry in her hand to Feiyan.
Feiyan immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing this, Qin Jinzhi gave her a new one.
The two people stood close to Qin Jinzhi on either side.
Jingyao looked up at Qin Jinzhi, "Sister, you're lying."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"
Jingyao swallowed the pastry in her mouth. "You said you'd come back to see us when you had time. We've been waiting for you. Xinxin is completely captivated by you."
Qin Jinzhi was taken aback, and the nanny quickly stepped forward to explain, "The little princess means that she feels a little down."
Jingyao looked at Qin Jinzhi, "Mother said this is called being sad. Sister, Mother said that you must keep your promises. I promised you that I would never get separated from the nanny again, but you have never come to see me."
After hearing this, Qin Jinzhi looked at Jing Yao and smiled, "Okay, I will definitely do what I said I would do next time."
Upon hearing this, Jingyao immediately smiled and moved closer to Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi scratched her head. A child's promise is still a promise.
The two men felt an excitement, as if they had finally caught up with Qin Jinzhi.
He would recite two poems to Qin Jinzhi one minute and sing a song to Qin Jinzhi the next.
When Consort Fang came to pick them up, the two were so tired that they leaned against Qin Jinzhi and fell fast asleep.
"Hurry up and take the little princess and the little prince away."
Consort Fang immediately stepped forward, saying, "Princess, please forgive me."
Qin Jinzhi waved her hand, and Feiyan quickly massaged Qin Jinzhi's slightly numb legs.
Jingyao was picked up and looked at Consort Fang in a daze.
"Mother, my legs are a bit messy."
Qin Jinzhi smiled after hearing this; she understood what he meant.
My legs are numb.
Consort Fang smiled and asked the nanny to massage Jingyao's legs.
Then, looking around and seeing no one, he walked up to Qin Jinzhi and whispered, "Princess, I've discovered something."
Qin Jinzhi asked while stretching her body, "What?"
Consort Fang frowned and said, "I've discovered that the person who orchestrated the switch between my sister and me doesn't seem to be Consort Shu!"
