Chapter Index

    The emperor is merciless

    Imperial Physician Xu rested his fingers on Qin Zhimai for a long time.

    “Mr. Xu, what’s up?” Jiang Wang looked anxious.

    Xu Xuan let go of Qin Zhi’s wrist, stood up and bowed, saying helplessly: “Your Majesty, Qin Zhi knows how he is doing. He knows best. Just ask him.”

    Jiang Wang frowned: “What do you mean by this?”

    “Mr. Xu.” Qin Zhi cut off the conversation, “I’ll tell your Majesty myself. Thank you.”

    Xu Xuan received the king’s tacit consent, left two bottles of elixirs, and said to Qin Zhi: “One pill for the red pill every night, and half a pill for the black pill during the special period.”

    After explaining, he packed up the medicine box and left.

    “What is an ‘extraordinary period’?” When Jiang Wang was anxious, he spoke with the habit of a superior, as if questioning.

    Qin Zhi paused, put the red bottle into his sleeve, and silently put the black bottle back in its place, “The medicine inside is extremely precious and can save lives in emergency situations. The sinner has a low status and is not qualified to use it. Return it to Your Majesty.”

    Jiang Wang choked, looking embarrassed, and pushed the black bottle towards Qin Zhi: “Sanque, you know you don’t mean that…”

    Qin Zhi didn’t answer, and he didn’t want to delve into such details. He didn’t need to think about what King Jiang thought.

    “Your Majesty, the sinner… something went wrong in his practice.”

    He slowly told the lie he had been making up for several days: “If you can confront senior brother Xuan Mou, there may be a turning point. Therefore, your majesty does not have to use the sinner out of guilt. Going to the battlefield is the sinner’s last wish in this life.”

    Jiang Wang understood every word Qin Zhi said, but he didn’t dare to understand it when they were connected.

    “Turnaround” and “finally”…it’s self-evident what these point to.

    Jiang Wang was suspicious and said harsh words without realizing it: “Even if the border is bitterly cold and Han Zhong is harsh, it will not hurt his life. Qin Zhi, Gu said, I don’t have to use you, so don’t deceive me.”

    After being exiled for three years and surviving under the general who regarded him as his enemy, the king actually said it so easily. Qin Zhi’s temper, which had been almost worn away, showed signs of resurgence.

    He was so angry that he coughed twice, then quickly suppressed it, raised his eyelids and stood up, without caring about the angle from which he was looking down at the king, he said coldly: “It seems that the sinner has misunderstood. Since Your Majesty does not need the sinner, the sinner will not be an eyesore in front of His Majesty. The sinner still has work to do, so please leave first.”

    Without waiting for Jiang Wang to agree, Qin Zhi turned around and left without any hesitation. He was not as respectful and cautious as he was at the beginning. Jiang Wang almost thought that Qin Zhi just now was just putting on a show to impress the king.Until, by mistake, he “followed” Qin Zhi and saw the residence of the exiled prisoners.

    There were two rows of large bunks in the cramped tent, each with ten thin quilts, all with holes, exposing the dirty cotton wool inside.

    At this moment, all the prisoners had gone out to work. Qin Zhi was originally supposed to help in the kitchen, but thanks to Jiang Wangyujia’s personal visit, he was able to save a day’s work and come back to have half a day’s free time.

    Dealing with Jiang Wang cost him a lot of energy, and he was a little overwhelmed.Jiang Wang’s “bullying” words reminded him of the past, causing his blood to boil.

    He broke the pot and threw it to the ground to leave, because he was afraid that his body would not be able to hold on.After returning to the tent, he fell asleep, pulled the ragged quilt to the top and covered his head. He dreamed that Duke Zhou was going to relieve the liver stagnation caused by the king’s anger.

    Soon there was no sound in the camp, and it was as quiet as if no one was inside.

    Jiang Wang quietly walked to Qin Zhi and tried the quilt with his hands.Cold as iron, as cold as ice.

    He gently pulled the quilt to Qin Zhi’s chin, tucked him in, and covered the quilt with the fur cloak he brought with him.

    After doing this, Qin Zhi was not disturbed at all.

    Jiang Wang didn’t think it was because he was being careful.He reached under the quilt and touched Qin Zhi’s hand. Unexpectedly, it was as cold as the quilt.

    He gently tucked the man’s hand back into the quilt and pursed his lips into a straight line.

    After half a cup of tea, Gu Xunzhu welcomed King Jiang in his tent.

    “Your Majesty, sit down.” He poured the king a cup of tea by himself, without inviting others to drink, and went straight to the point, “Do you want to ask how Sanque is doing now?”

    “Yeah.”

    Jiang Wang rarely touched anything he had never tested before. The year Qin Zhi stayed with him completely changed his habits.

    He picked up the tea and took a sip, then glanced at Gu Xunzhu with a sharp gaze.

    Gu Xunzhu smiled clearly and said, “Your Majesty, please drink it. This is the reward you carefully selected for Sanque.”

    “So?”

    “That’s why his current broken body can’t even drink decent tea, so this reward is with me.”

    Jiang Wang’s heart suddenly shook, the hand holding the cup shook, and the spilled tea splashed on his legs.The tea was a little hot, but he didn’t even notice it.

    He absentmindedly put the tea back on the table and asked, “Why…”

    These words were meaningless, but Gu Xunzhu still understood.

    “Your Majesty has been with him for half a year, but you haven’t noticed anything special about his five senses. He really is so ruthless…”
