"Master, are you still crawling?" Qiu Mo looked nervous and glanced at Qin Wanming cautiously.
Qin Wanming stood in the corner, his face changing from gloomy to bright. He prepared himself mentally for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't make up his mind.
He sighed deeply, turned around angrily, walked back to the yard with heavy steps, and slammed the door shut.
At this moment, he was full of resentment and needed to have a little rage.
After a while, Qin Wanming changed into inconspicuous clothes, covered his face tightly with a veil, and sneaked to the corner again.
He closed his eyes deeply, encouraged himself in his heart, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and drilled out of the hole in one go.
The pungent smell from the dry toilet next to him made it impossible for him to open his eyes, let alone breathe deeply. He wanted to hold his breath and quickly crawl over, but ended up getting stuck in the middle of the climb.
"Give me a push!" Qin Wanming shouted in shame and annoyance.
Hearing this, Qiu Mo hurried forward and pushed his butt hard with both hands.
At this moment, an armored soldier and two other men suddenly appeared before Qin Wanming. They crossed their arms and looked at Qin Wanming's miserable appearance calmly.
Qin Wanming paused, his body instantly frozen. But Qiu Mo behind him kept pushing him, and the force was getting stronger and stronger, and finally he really pushed him out!
"Second Master Qin, disobeying the imperial order is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan!" The soldier's voice was serious and cold.
"Haha, I just crawled out accidentally." Qin Wanming was embarrassed and ashamed. He stood up with forced composure, turned around and walked quickly towards the door. "I'll go back now."
The soldier stopped him with his hand and said slowly, "Your Majesty has ordered that Qin Wanming disobey the imperial decree and be placed under house arrest for an additional month."
"When was the oral order given?" Qin Wanming frowned, feeling dissatisfied.
The soldier smiled and said jokingly, "His Majesty said that the moment we catch you escaping, it will take effect immediately."
"...I understand. I'll go back now." Qin Wanming's face was dark and he walked towards the gate of the mansion reluctantly.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, you'd better go back to where you came from. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives sees you and makes a fuss about you, it will be difficult for His Majesty." The soldier kindly reminded.
Qin Wanming looked at the dog hole hatefully, then looked up at the soldier. The latter raised his eyebrows at the dog hole with an unquestionable look on his face.
This is too much! This is too much!
Qin Wanming had no choice but to crawl back with great effort and stayed in the room for several days without going out.
…
Imperial Palace.
Hua Qiufeng hurried to Shen Qing.
"Master, I followed the man in black that day for several days and finally saw Li Xin coming out of a thatched hut."
The man did look a lot like Murong Sheng, but he also had a rough and unruly air.
"Okay, you go and keep an eye on it in person for the next few days, and report to me immediately if there is any movement." Shen Qing yawned, finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, and threw it aside.
Jiang Zhuo was half lying on her couch, reading a book. After he got better, Shen Qing took him to the palace, which was at least safer than the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"This Li Xin can brazenly use people from the north to assassinate people repeatedly, but he dares not live in the capital." Jiang Zhuo put down the book in his hand and sneered.
You say he is brave, but he hides in the thatched hut like a mouse.
You might say he's timid, but he's carried out assassinations time and again.
"I'm afraid he's sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, waiting to sit on the throne."
Knowing Li Xin's whereabouts was a relief. Shen Qing took a rare break and wandered around the palace with Jiang Zhuo.
The weather is getting warmer and the sun is shining.
"I haven't felt such good sunshine for a long time."
It was all her father's fault. He had to force her to be the emperor. She was so busy every day, and she had to deal with all these messy things.
"Qingqing is a wise ruler, so you will naturally be a little tired." Jiang Zhuo looked at her profile and smiled lightly.
Shen Qing turned her head and looked at him, "Aren't you tired, stupid emperor?"
"I don't know."
Shen Qing took a deep breath and looked at the sky in the distance. She was in a good mood. It seemed that all her wishes had come true, whether it was wealth and glory, or family and friends, they were all around her.
She turned to look at Jiang Zhuo with a complicated look in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhuo raised his hand and pinched her face.
"It seems like everything is moving in a good direction." Shen Qing took his hand.
"certainly."
Every day she is around, he feels that the future is promising.
It is a rare opportunity to have half a day of leisure. That brief moment of tranquility and leisure seems like a moment of peace before a storm.
The next day began a new round of busyness as usual, as if the never-stopping gears were turning rapidly again.
The pilgrimage of various nations is imminent, a matter of national pride and diplomacy. Envoys will arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow at the latest, and all preparations must be made with utmost vigour.
"For the position of reception envoy, do you have any candidates to recommend?" Shen Qing supported his head with his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly swept his gaze over the court officials standing below.
Her expression was a little tired, yet still dignified, and she was looking forward to hearing about a suitable candidate from among these ministers.
The official said nothing, as there was no point in bringing it up anyway.
"Why are you all silent?"
"Your Majesty is wise. He must have a suitable candidate in mind. We dare not speculate on our own." Qin Canghai spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Well, then what do I need you guys for?" Shen Qing spread his hands and asked doubtfully. "Do I keep a bunch of useless people just to cause trouble for me when I have nothing to do?"
