"Well...that's not what you mean." Chun Ye blinked. He didn't know what to say, but the right thing to do was to protect her.
"Alright then... Didn't you say you'd protect me in secret? Why are you coming out?"
"I have to show up first to reassure you."
If it was like last time, he would work so hard to save her, but she would run away.
Where does he go to claim credit?
"Well, thank you."
…
As soon as the news of Shen Qing's illness spread, people from all walks of life in the court began to speculate.
Is it because she did too many bad things and this is her retribution?
Was he assassinated by Murong's remnants?
In short, there are all kinds of opinions.
"Lord Jiang, although His Majesty is ill, the court visit from all nations is imminent, and the position of Minister of Rites cannot remain vacant for too long. I wonder if His Majesty has given instructions on who should fill this position?"
"His Majesty is still waiting and watching. The affairs of the Ministry of Rites are under the charge of the Minister. You don't need to worry." Jiang Ling glanced at the official who spoke.
This man doesn't care about the emperor's health, but is more concerned about the candidate for the position of assistant minister. There must be something fishy. Let Jiang Zhuo arrest him.
Chu Ting turned his head and gave a look to the person beside him, who nodded.
"Ah? Wasn't it the Shangshu who killed him? Could it be that Your Majesty has forgiven him just like that?"
"Yeah, Bai Xian killed someone and he wasn't dismissed?"
"I heard that Bai Xian's daughter has a very good relationship with the emperor. Could it be..."
“This is abuse of power and perverting the law!”
Jiang Zhuo watched them quarreling coldly.
When Shen Qing usually sat on the dragon throne, they were all like quails, not daring to breathe.
Now that no one is around, I get excited again.
"Who said Minister Bai was the murderer?" Jiang Ling interrupted, "Bai Xian didn't kill the man."
"Then why did Master Xiao Jiang arrest him?"
"Yes, he's still in jail!"
"Does a person in prison become a murderer?" Jiang Zhuo asked, looking at everyone with a mocking look. "Does a dog wearing clothes become a human? Aren't there pigs who can stand here and speak in this Golden Palace?"
"Jiang Zhuo, what you said is too harsh, isn't it? Who are you calling a dog? Who are you saying is brainless?"
"Everyone knows who I'm scolding." Jiang Zhuo said with a slight smile, "How dare you bring up unverified news in the Golden Palace? Do you think this is your backyard?"
"You!" The man couldn't argue with Jiang Zhuo, so he could only stop and turn his head away without saying anything.
"Your Majesty may be ill, but she will know every word you say. When Your Majesty returns to court, those who deserve punishment will be punished, and those who deserve death will be killed!"
The officials lowered their heads and stopped making noise.
"Jiang Zhuo, how is His Majesty's health? When can he attend court?" Qin Canghai asked.
"Your Majesty is overly worried, and General Qin need not worry."
"That's good." Qin Canghai took out a memorial from the main building, "Prime Minister Jiang, this is a list of candidates for the position of Assistant Minister. Please show it to Your Majesty for review."
"Yes." Jiang Ling took it and tucked it into his sleeve. "Is there anything else you would like to report to His Majesty?"
No one spoke.
"Then let's go."
Officials left the Golden Palace in twos and threes. Jiang Zhuo followed Jiang Ling and walked towards the palace gate.
"Tell me honestly, is Qing girl okay?"
"It's okay." Jiang Zhuo shook his head. "She has important things to do and is not in the palace for the time being."
"What?!" Jiang Ling was shocked.
The emperor has left the palace!
"Prime Minister Jiang, why are you so surprised?" Qin Canghai walked over. "Is it about His Majesty?"
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes. "What does this have to do with you? My puppies gave birth to eight puppies in one litter. Can't I be surprised?"
Qin Canghai looked at Jiang Ling in silence. He didn't believe that the two of them had just come down and were secretly discussing whether the dog had given birth to puppies?
Is this reasonable?
"It just so happens that my son Chen wants to raise a puppy. Can I get one from Jiang Xiang's house?"
"Why? You want to give birth yourself." Jiang Ling turned and left.
He just doesn't like Qin Canghai, never in this life.
Jiang Zhuo blinked, looked at Jiang Ling's neat and tidy back, and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Captain. My father isn't very sensible. Please forgive me."
After hearing this, it was hard to tell who was the father.
"Hehehe," Qin Canghai laughed dryly, "Jiang Zhuo, how is His Majesty's health?"
"fine."
"I see... Once things are settled, Your Majesty should establish a harem and have more children."
???
Jiang Zhuo's face darkened.
"Hahaha, maybe General Qin won't be able to wait until then."
Old immortal.
Chen Qing disguised himself as a young master from a wealthy family and sat drinking tea in a snack teahouse at the foot of Beishan Mountain for three days, trying to find out some information.
"Hey, have you heard that Old Li at the village head has made a fortune!" A passerby whispered to the two people next to him.
"Old Li? How can a stinky fishmonger like him make such a fortune?" Passerby No. 2 asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. I just heard that he was doing business with someone and could make five hundred taels of silver with one deal!" The passerby raised five fingers with an exaggerated expression.
Passersby two and three looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Is this a fortune from evil? His family has always lived next to a mass grave. He thought he was oppressed by evil spirits in this life and would never be able to hold his head up high!"
A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Qing's figure disappeared by the bed.
She asked for Old Li along the way and came to a house at the end of the village.
The house backs onto a small hill and looks eerie.
I guess it’s the mass grave those people were talking about.
