The next morning court session.
Shen Qing sat on the dragon chair in a daze. She didn't sleep well last night.
Qin Canghai hesitated for a long time. He had originally planned to plead for Qin Wanming, but seeing that Shen Qing was in a bad mood, he hesitated.
If you know there is a tiger in the mountain, would you still go there?
But for the Qin family, he fought hard.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Qin Canghai had finally prepared himself mentally, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by someone else. He frowned and looked at the person with dissatisfaction, and the person glared back at him with the same dissatisfaction.
Hey, you're still glaring at me? I'll find a reason to impeach you tomorrow!
"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded.
"I want to impeach the Qin Taiwei Mansion. The wailing sounds of pigs being slaughtered can be heard all day long, which keeps me awake at night." The man complained with dark circles under his eyes.
Shen Qing looked up at Qin Canghai, his eyes full of impatience.
"Qin Canghai, what do you want to do? You can't be a general anymore, so you want to kill pigs?"
"This, this, this is a false accusation!" Qin Canghai began to explain, "My family has never bought a live pig, so how could there be a pig slaughtering cry?"
"Humph, that's the person you sent to impersonate them. They're deliberately disturbing the people, and their behavior is even worse!"
Isn't he sick? Qin Canghai was speechless.
Why would he send someone to pretend to squeal like a pig for no reason?
But think about it, that man's mansion is behind the Qin family, close to Qin Wanming's yard. Could it be that Qin Wanming can't sleep and is howling?
"General Qin, aren't you going a bit too far?" Shen Qing smiled faintly at Qin Canghai. "Well, although Qin Wanming was clearly negligent in catching the puppet, he didn't commit a serious offense. I will release him from his house arrest. In the future, you still need to discipline him more and tell him not to disturb the people like this again."
"I thank you Lord for your kindness."
Qin Canghai was still confused, and Qin Wanming was released just like that.
"Your Majesty, the Qin family is disturbing the people. Why don't you punish them but instead..."
"Are you the emperor, or am I the emperor? If you don't let him go, do you still want to hear him howl?"
The man was silent.
Qin Canghai was sure that Shen Qing was just in a bad mood, so he simply let Qin Wanming go and was too lazy to deal with it.
After Shen Qing returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he began to catch up on his sleep. He slept for an hour before waking up.
Jiang Zhuo was sitting at the desk reading a book. When he saw she woke up, he came over with a bowl of porridge.
"How was your sleep?"
"Finally, I had a good sleep." Shen Qing yawned, but smelled a little fragrance, "What fragrance?"
"I went to the temple to ask the master for some calming incense. It can relieve anxiety, soothe the mind and help you sleep." Jiang Zhuo pointed to the incense burner next to him. "You always complained about not sleeping well. I went there a few days ago. I just needed it prepared immediately, so I sent it today."
"Jiang Zhuo, you're so kind." Shen Qing patted his shoulder touchedly, "I will never beat you up in the middle of the night again."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Zhuo smiled helplessly, his eyes full of indulgence. He raised his hand and fed the porridge to Shen Qing, "Eat something."
"Then I'll force myself to drink a little."
When Qin Wanming was released from house arrest, he was completely dazed. The continuous stream of good news almost made him dizzy.
First, He Shu agreed to cooperate with him, and then Qin Canghai pleaded for him to be released from house arrest.
As expected, everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme. Good times will come after bad times. Qin Wanming has finally rebounded from the bottom!
But when he calmed down and thought about it, he felt something was wrong. Shen Qing must have known about Qingzhou's frequent letters to him, so there was no reason for him to let him go.
Are you trying to play the long game and catch a big fish?
You want to plot against him again, right?
Qin Wanming snorted coldly. He learned from his mistakes and he would not fall into her trap again this time!
The first thing Qin Wanming did when he left the house was to go to a restaurant to drink, and then wander around like a mad dog.
"Second Young Master, He Shu is already impatient." Qiu Mo handed the letter to Qin Wanming, frowning slightly. "There's no unusual movement in Qingzhou. The Emperor may really have thought that the punishment he gave you was too severe."
"Stupid!" Qin Wanming growled, "How could someone like Shen Qing have a change of heart?"
Conscience only exists or does not exist, it cannot be discovered.
Qiu Mo pursed his lips.
“However, after relaxing for so long, shouldn’t Shen Qing let down his guard?”
Qin Wanming picked up the teacup and drank it all, then gritted his teeth.
"Wait a little longer."
Three days later, Qin Wanming noticed that there were fewer surveillance eyes around him, so he began to prepare for his trip to Qingzhou.
In the palace, Shen Qing was playing chess with Jiang Zhuo.
She made a tentative move, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Zhuo's half-smile, she took it back.
"Your Majesty, there is no regret in making this move."
"The previous move was because you laughed, so I made the wrong move."
Jiang Zhuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. She had found a new excuse.
Either my hand was cramping, or I choked on my tea, or the chess piece was too slippery, or I didn't sleep well and my eyes were blurry.
Now, I have started to look for the reasons from him.
"I'll go this way, please go ahead." Shen Qing smiled and raised his hand to signal.
Jiang Zhuo looked down, was silent for two seconds, and reached out to Shen Qing.
She blinked. "What?"
"Return the black piece hidden in your arms to me."
"I don't have it. Who took it? Qingge, is that you?" Shen Qing turned his head and looked at Qingge, who shook her head. Shen Qing spread his hands and said, "No."
If Jiang Zhuo didn't come back, he could only pick up another one and make a move, and the outcome would be decided.
Shen Qing's smile froze, he curled his lips, took out the four black pieces in his arms and put them back.
Why can't she improve her skills?
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your submission."
"Hmph, it's because I'm letting you win, otherwise how could you win?" Shen Qing raised his hand to collect the chess pieces. "I'm busy with all sorts of things every day, and I have to play chess with you. I'm very busy, okay..."
"It's my fault, but I'm also your Majesty's subject. Is there anything wrong with your Majesty taking the time to look after me occasionally?"
"If that's what you say, I really need to talk to you. Look, I'll let you handle the memorials, give you the position of Dali Temple Minister, and even play chess with you. Jiang Zhuo, you should be content!"
Listen to yourself, who is content?
However, watching her hide his chess piece cunningly and then regret it with a clear conscience was vivid and lively.
He knew she was mysterious, even had some bizarre past, but he didn't care.
Sooner or later, he will know everything about her.
He enjoyed everything.
The newly opened chess game was just halfway through when Hua Qiufeng came in.
"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang, as expected, after half of the guards withdrew, Qin Wanming began to move."
"Well, how are Chunye's preparations going?" Chen Qing looked at the chessboard and casually put down a piece.
"Everything is ready. The Chamber of Commerce has contacted the Cheng family for help, and all the official roads and docks have been defended."
Just wait for Qin Wanming to fall into the trap.
