The Boss Your Majesty Is Looking For Has Always Been Me. Chapter 25

The moment King Jiang heard the news, he stood up from the dragon throne and walked out with long strides. As he walked, he coldly ordered——

“Li Ci, Xu Yuanzheng of Chuan Tai Hospital, and Dai Cheng’an, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, are riding horses to take Xu Yuanzheng with them. They must arrive at the Ministry of Punishment within a quarter of an hour. In addition, prepare horses for Gu, who will go in person. Retreat from the court!”

The imperial army cleared the way in front, King Jiang was galloping all the way, followed closely by Dai Chengan and Imperial Physician Xu.

Before he reached the punishment department, he could smell the burning smell in the air, which was strong and assailed his nostrils. King Jiang tightened the horse’s rope and speeded up again.

When the group of people entered the Courtyard of the Ministry of Justice in a hurry, Qin Zhi happened to wake up slowly from the straw mat where he was placed, covered his head and propped himself up, and happened to meet the eyes of King Jiang, who was frowning and dusty.

Qin Zhi felt excited in his heart. He recalled King Jiang’s harsh words and what he had done, and his heart sank again.

He stood up stiffly, staggered and asked the servant next to him to hold him up. After steadying himself, he walked a step away from King Jiang, knelt down and said, “I see your Majesty.”

Everyone saw that General Yuen Long, who was in a deep coma in the report, not only “alive”, but was also conscious, walking very steadily, and his expression became subtle.

Everyone in the punishment department also reacted and knelt on the ground, trembling.

A quarter of an hour ago – they seemed to have sent someone to interview the saint, saying that General Yuen Long was dying…

King Jiang squatted down, put his hand on Qin Zhi’s shoulder, and pressed down hard, “Qin Zhi, are you okay?”

Qin Zhi also realized that he had to use half of his “turtle breath” in order to snatch Qiao Heng’s body from the fire.

If you use all the “Turtle Breath”, you will be in a state of suspended animation for one day. If you use half of the “Turtle Breath”, you can hold your breath for a while, and then fall into a severe coma. When he wakes up, it all depends on his physical condition. So far, it seems that he has been well cared for by King Jiang during this period.

It must be the imperial doctor who the Ministry of Punishment sent for when they saw that he looked like he was about to die. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and didn’t wake up at the right time. This would trap everyone in the Punishment Ministry into the quagmire of “deceiving the emperor”.

“Your Majesty, I held my breath for too long in the fire, so I look as if I’m on the verge of death. Your Majesty is worried about me. I must be responsible for my death. Please punish me.”

This was still outside. No matter how angry King Jiang was, he had to take care of the big game he was playing.

“Yes. Aiqing, there is no need to blame yourself.” King Jiang pinched Qin Zhi’s arm and picked him up. “Aiqing has a deep friendship with his subordinates. I can’t bear that my subordinates will be thwarted and ashes before the case is clear. How can I not understand. However, you are a high-ranking official and you want to help Gu rule the country and bring peace to the world. You can no longer risk your life.”

King Jiang’s words were sincere and sincere, and everyone else was moved and envious. Even the jealous ones felt contempt, and rolled their eyes secretly to the sky.

After yesterday, Qin Zhi gradually became clear about some things. Such sweet words could no longer make him as excited as before, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. At least, no one would be held accountable for this…

He handed over his hand and said, “Your Majesty taught you the right lesson. I will take good care of myself from now on, never take risks again, and save my body to open up territory for Your Majesty, so that I can live up to Your Majesty’s trust.”

“That’s very good.” King Jiang’s smile did not reach his eyes, “Then just follow me back to the palace.”

King Jiang walked a few steps but didn’t hear anyone following him. He turned around and saw Qin Zhi standing there blankly.

He smiled but said patiently: “Why is Qin Aiqing unwilling to leave? Don’t worry, Qiao Heng’s corpse will be properly taken care of by them.”

Qin Zhi’s heart ached from the fake smile, and he bit the bullet and said: “Your Majesty, I heard that the General’s Mansion has been completed. Can I start moving in today? I look so embarrassed that I can’t go back to the palace to disturb Your Majesty…”

Everyone’s hearts exploded. Judging from the rumors, His Majesty wants Qin Zhi to return to the palace. In addition to appeasement, he probably also wants to favor him. General Yuen Long openly resisted the order. Did he want to take off the hat of “Charming Lord”? I’m afraid it’s too late to wake up now…

King Jiang stared at Qin Zhi for a long time, and when he saw that Qin Zhi didn’t change his mind, he sneered in his heart, but his face continued to be warm, “Oh. Okay, Gu Yun.”

The king turned around and left without any regrets.

Everyone was sighing, silently predicting a future for Qin Zhi in which he would soon fall out of favor.

But strangely, the rumor that day was that General Yuen Long refused to favor him in public. King Jiang cherished his talent and could not bear to rebuke him, and even showed his kindness by allowing him to live in Yuci Mansion in advance.

Later, Qin Zhi also heard a little bit about it, silently remembered it in his heart, and connected some things he thought about together.

For many days in a row, Qin Zhi was not summoned by King Jiang, and he was known as “falling out of favor”. However, the imperial army admired Qin Zhi’s talent and trained as usual according to the plan he made.

Qin Zhi went to the Ministry of Justice to see Qiao Heng’s body every day, and then asked around for clues about Jingzhu. He even met Zuo Songqing on the road, and Zuo Songqing politely offered to help find him.

After being busy for a while, he did not enter the palace or see several other subordinates.

However, misfortunes never come singly.

After Hu Guangbai and others heard that Qiao Heng’s body was almost burned, they were so angry that they wanted to leave the palace and lift the roof of the Criminal Department. Wu Yue finally persuaded them to come down, but for some unknown reason, they all sneaked out and robbed Han Hao on a dark and windy night.

The group of people originally planned to beat Han Hao up and put him back, but before they could do anything, they were found by the guards, who tied him up and sent him to the Criminal Department.

The Ministry of Punishment wasted no time this time, and sentenced several people to fifty canes and three years’ probation for “intentionally hurting others” and “robbing nobles.”

The punishment of spine cane is very particular.

The spine is a vital part of the human body. If you are not careful, you will either be permanently disabled or die on the spot.

The Ministry of Punishment was worried that Qin Zhi had not completely lost power, so he beat Xu Chi to death on the spot. Hu Guangbai, Wu Yue and others were beaten to a few breaths and sent to prison.

It was already late at night when Qin Zhi learned of the incident, and several letters from the Forbidden Army reported his arrival.

Expresslessly, he took out some pieces of silver to reward the imperial guards who reported the news, and then sent them away.

The Imperial Guards saw that his face was not very good, and before leaving, they cautiously advised him, “Xu Chi and the others broke the law in this matter first, and the Ministry of Punishments found that there was no wrongdoing. General, please don’t do stupid things on impulse. Hu Guangbai and the others are still waiting for the general to rescue them.”

“Yes, I understand.” Qin Zhi smiled softly, “Thanks for reminding me, you can go back and rest first.”

Several people turned back three times at a time to see Qin Zhi sitting in the dark without lighting a lamp. The gloomy feeling was like a ghost from hell. The smile just now was even more weird and made people’s necks go cold.

But several people also knew that it was normal for Qin Zhi to look like this when he was grieving.Thinking that General Yuen Long treated his subordinates so sincerely, while Dai Chengan put on a show of superiority towards them, they couldn’t help but envy Hu Guangbai and others.

Qin Zhiku sat there all night without moving.

These days flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

The estrangement in King Jiang’s favor, the relationship with the Han family, the senior brother hiding in the dark, the junior brother who has no trace, Jingzhu who strayed into their wing, Qiao Heng who suddenly committed suicide…everything is strange and unusual.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced his eyes, he finally stood up, went out to get a basin of water, washed his hands and face, combed his hair seriously, put on the official uniform sent a few days ago, and then went out to hire a carriage and went straight to the palace gate.

Li Ci seemed to have known that he was coming, and was waiting at the palace gate, “General, have you thought about what to say to His Majesty?”

“Think about it.” Qin Zhi’s voice was not as warm as usual, but cold.

Li Ci frowned, “General, His Majesty values you. You must cherish your feathers to live up to His Majesty’s trust.”

Qin Zhi held up his hand and said, “Thank you, Li Neiguan, for reminding me. I have received so much care from you along the way. I would like to express my gratitude.”

These words sounded ominous, but more like last words.

Li Ci felt something in his heart, but still persuaded him again, “Keep the green hills here, so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. General, you might as well wait a little longer.”

“Yes.” Qin Zhi didn’t say much and motioned to Li Ci to lead the way.

Li Ci sighed before turning around.

One day after King Jiang returned from court, he was sitting in the royal study, leaning on the dragon chair, tapping the table with his right hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound of Qin Zhi entering the palace, he immediately looked up and saw that he was specially waiting for him.

Qin Zhi’s eyes quickly glanced at the king’s cheek, and he lowered his head again to salute.

General Yuen Long was wearing a purple official uniform today, which made his back look even more prominent. His hair could be seen to have been carefully taken care of, and his slender neck was slightly drooping, like a crane emerging from the dust.

King Jiang’s heart moved, he suppressed his charming thoughts and shouted.

Qin Zhike still knelt still.

King Jiang thought that he was going to make a fuss because of the recent incident, and just as he was about to scold him, he saw Qin Zhi raise his head, raise the corners of his mouth, as if nothing bad had happened, and asked with a smile: “In this situation, is your majesty willing to give me your only favor?”

King Jiang raised his eyebrows. Qin Zhi’s question was straightforward, but it was also in line with this man’s unreasonable style.

The matter has now become too complicated and deviated from his original layout, but it is still controllable and his goal can still be achieved.

However, whether he helped Qin Zhi or not, it would not affect his original plan, so he hesitated before Qin Zhi came in.

Qin Zhi’s smile just now was still flattering, but it was a bit different from usual.As for what the difference was, King Jiang couldn’t tell.He always feels that if he doesn’t answer, he will lose something very important.

Having said that, when he saw the disgraced Qin Zhi lying on the ground in the Ministry of Justice, King Jiang felt scared for a moment, just like his current mood.

Is he afraid of losing Qin Zhi’s honesty to him?

What a joke, is a minister who is used as bait worthy of such trouble?

But Qin Zhi knew that he was indeed a rare person even as a king.

It seems that I also want to keep this person, even if this person will become an outcast one day.
