Chapter 144 Asking for Reward
Yun Zhao walked back like a zombie.
The sun is glaring.
There were more and more people around.
People kept passing by her, and she raised her eyes, looking at the people around her blankly.
None of them she knew.
She has no family left.
In this big world, no one will hold her in his arms anymore, treat her as a child who will never grow up, and gently call her: Zhao Zhao.
But strangely, she couldn't shed a single tear.
She only felt her eyes were dry, and her soul could not keep up with her rapid pace.
She can still fall down now, she still has things to deal with!
She couldn't let her parents die and their bodies be left exposed in the wilderness.
She hurried back to the palace with messy steps, pushed open the door and rushed into the emperor's study.
There are ministers inside.
When they saw Yun Zhao falling to the ground in the Commercial Affairs Bureau, everyone was stunned and stopped talking.
The emperor was also shocked when he saw the dried blood on Yun Zhao's body. "Doctor Yun? What are you doing? You haven't changed your clothes since you delivered Concubine Yi, have you?"
Yun Zhao knelt on the ground, one of her hands swinging uncontrollably, and she realized that one of her hands was dislocated.
She supported it with her hand, and with a click, the bone was connected.
But the adults present all stared in astonishment! How cruel!
What kind of imperial physician is this?!
Yun Zhao knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse, "Your Majesty, I saved two princes so that they wouldn't be replaced by a cat instead of a prince. I beg Your Majesty to reward me!"
As soon as these words fell.
Even the eunuchs who had been standing at the door couldn't help but look sideways at Yun Zhao.
Since ancient times, virtue has not sought credit.
No one dared to ask for credit from the emperor. Besides, the substitution of a cat for a prince was a secret in the harem. How could Yun Zhao reveal it in front of the ministers?
The emperor's face suddenly became interesting.
He felt that he must have owed Yun Zhao and Xie Jingmo in his previous life, otherwise why would these two always embarrass him!
The emperor waved his hand and the ministers left.
The emperor took a deep breath and asked, "What reward are you asking for? Even if you want a reward, you shouldn't come to the Imperial Study at this time? Besides, taking care of Concubine Yi is your job, and you actually have the nerve to ask me for a reward."
Yun Zhao stood up straight and looked at the emperor, "Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor sighed and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Yun Zhao spoke word for word, "I want an elite soldier to keep me company for half a month. Also, I'm taking care of Concubine Yi during her pregnancy, so I'm bound to make enemies in the palace. I beg the Emperor to have mercy on me and allow me to be directly under His Majesty's supervision. The rest of the people can be disobeyed if ordered. I also want a golden staff so I can punish corrupt officials and punish treacherous ministers."
The emperor frowned, "You are a little girl, but you have a big appetite. Isn't this the same as asking me for Shangguan's sword?!"
Yun Zhao lowered herself to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am just a little girl with no ambitions. I just want to save my life. I beg Your Majesty to help me."
The emperor also felt that Yun Zhao could not do anything unorthodox, as he was just holding a one-meter golden staff and could not do anything unorthodox.
The little girl just took it out to show off.
"Okay, it's approved." The emperor's attention was not on the so-called elite. Besides, there were thousands of people in the palace, and one elite was nothing. "I will have someone reward you later. Don't let me down by doing whatever you want with the golden staff."
Yun Zhao bowed deeply again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Xie Jingmo returned from the military camp and was about to step into the imperial study when Yun Zhao came out.
He turned to look at her.
But she didn't even glance at herself.
He reached out to hold her, but when he reached out, he found nothing.
Xie Jingmo frowned and called out, "Yun Zhao."
The latter seemed to be in a trance and did not hear. Xie Jingmo's gaze followed Yun Zhao forward, and Yun Zhao was staring at Yun Zhao's back.
I feel like there's something wrong with her back.
He was about to chase after her, but his father-in-law, seeing this, was startled and immediately went over to stop him.
"Hey, General, the Emperor is waiting inside."
Xie Jingmo glared at his father-in-law fiercely, and when he looked outside, Yun Zhao had already walked far away.
I don't know why.
He suddenly felt a little nervous.
Where is the imperial study?
"Your Majesty, what did Yun Zhao come to see you for just now?" Xie Jingmo asked as soon as he entered the room.
The emperor repeated Yun Zhao’s request.
Xie Jingmo looked puzzled, "She's not the type to seek credit."
After seven years at the frontier, if she wanted to take credit, her position could be above Lieutenant General Lin and others.
She is extremely talented, and many people feel sorry for her. If Yun Zhao were a man, he would definitely have the talent to be a general or a prime minister.
But Xie Jingmo thought that it would be better if Yun Zhao was a girl.
He alone can see all the spring scenery.
It’s enough for him to know how good she is.
"Really?" The emperor sneered, "Then you underestimate this girl. I think she has great ambitions."
The rest are trivial matters. The golden staff is enough to intimidate people in the palace.
and--
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
He always felt that Yun Zhao's eyes were unusual today, different from his previous gentle and nonchalant look.
"Oh, by the way, the night before last, someone tried to replace the prince with a cat. I don't trust anyone else with this matter. Jing Mo, go investigate."
Xie Jingmo frowned deeply, "A cat replacing a prince?"
The emperor looked at Xie Jingmo in confusion, "Don't you know? The entire Imperial Hospital was taking care of Concubine Yi and her son. I thought you would take care of Yun Zhao. She seems to have broken three ribs!"
It was precisely because of this that he made an exception and rewarded the golden staff.
"You..." The emperor was stunned, remembering the blood on Yun Zhao's body just now. "You didn't take care of her? I was thinking, aren't you concerned about Yun Zhao? So I sent someone to the general's mansion to tell you that Yun Zhao was injured. You took good care of her. Yun Zhao pledged her love to me, which is quite a good thing. What? You didn't know?!"
The emperor frowned and was furious!
He shouted, "Li Dehai!"
Eunuch Li came in from outside with his head lowered, pursed his lips and glanced at Xie Jingmo, then whispered, "In reply to the emperor, I went to the general's mansion in person, but the people there said..."
"explain……"
Xie Jingmo's face turned pale instantly!
The emperor was unaware of this and asked, "What did you say?!"
Eunuch Li: "The people in the General's Mansion said... The General instructed that no matter what Miss Yun wants to see me these past few days, I don't need to tell her. I clearly told her it was an emergency, but she kept replying with the same sentence. So I had no choice but to return to the palace."
The emperor was astonished. "So, Yun Zhao broke three ribs! And no one has healed them yet?! And she managed to survive until now? But she didn't say anything in the palace just now."
Eunuch Li sighed, "It's hard for me to say that. Besides, all the imperial doctors are with Concubine Yi right now, and Miss Yun Zhao is not a delicate person."
The Emperor frowned again upon hearing this, "Then why did she ask me for an elite soldier?"
Xie Jingmo frowned deeply, "She... also asked you for elite troops?"
