Qin Zheng knew that Jia Fu was not good at comforting others. It was a rare family affection for him to be able to say these words to him so patiently.
So she smiled gratefully at him and picked up the ink pen again, "Yes, I should forget those unnecessary distractions and selfishness, and can't let Yan'er be disappointed in me. Okay, sir, I will handle the rest these days."
For my sake, you stay here all the time to deal with political affairs without taking off your clothes, sleeping restlessly, and worrying about my health. It’s really hard on you! Sir, please go to the small side hall to rest for a while. I should just be lazy these days.
I’ll make up for all the missed official duties one by one!”
After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Come here! Help the Prime Minister to go to the side hall to rest, and also send ten maids to serve the Prime Minister."
"Your Majesty, I have accepted your kindness. I am about to go to rest, but the maid does not need to reward you."
"Hey! Sir, don't be polite. It's appropriate to give these ten women to you." Qin Zheng thought he was being polite, so he insisted on giving him a palace maid.
"No, Your Majesty, you don't understand what I mean."
Jia Fu stood up unceremoniously and knelt down to him and said, "I have been tired enough these days. If you give me ten more women, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it anymore, so I will let you rest alone for a night!"
"You sir!"
Seeing that he really didn't want it, Qin Zheng had no choice but to smile and shake his head and said, "That's all, I owe you the debt to your husband, so I can only pay it back to you later. You go and have a rest. If you are tired of my Prime Minister, I will
Where can I find a wise minister like you?"
"Your Majesty, it is my duty to share your Majesty's worries. Please don't talk about such things as owed favor."
Jia Fu suppressed his slightly fluctuating emotions in his tone, and Qin Zheng could hear it. Jia Fu, a man with a cold face and a warm heart, was very touched by his attitude towards him, but he couldn't express it due to human feelings.
So he smiled and nodded to Jia Fu, and said frankly: "Sir, go and have a rest... Also, I feel that you are like my big brother."
"Your Majesty, why don't you act like my brother..."
Jia Fu knew very well what his monarch's mischievous smile meant. After leaving the palace gate, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Your Majesty, you are such a frank man!
He thought with emotion, but he didn't say these words out loud
He walked down the high stone steps in front of the palace gate and was about to walk to the small side hall where the prime minister stayed for the night. Suddenly he saw Zhao Xuan hurriedly running through the vermilion gate outside.
"Eunuch Zhao, it's so late, what makes you in such a hurry?"
Jia Fu couldn't help but stop him and ask
"Ah! Mr. Xiangguo, it's great that you are alone outside! Our family thought you were with His Majesty, and we were in trouble after receiving something..."
Zhao Xuan was very excited when he saw him. He looked around to make sure there were no outsiders. Then he handed something he was holding to Jia Fu and said mysteriously: "Just now, the Qing capital ordered at the Meridian Gate."
Asking for a meeting outside, this is his trick."
"What kind of discount? Are you handing it in so late?"
Jia Fu took the book with doubts, opened it and looked at it through the stone lantern on the side. He couldn't help being surprised, and asked hurriedly: "Is the Qing capital waiting for orders outside the Meridian Gate now?"
"Yes, but our family feels that it is best not to let His Majesty know about this kind of thing."
Zhao Xuan said seriously: "No matter whether he caught Princess Chaoyan or not, our Majesty finally came to his senses. Our family believes that His Majesty must not be allowed to meet that Chaoyan again. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that Your Majesty will not fall into another trap again."
Get in!"
"What Eunuch Zhao said is absolutely true."
Jia Fu carefully put the Qing Du Ling's book into his sleeve and said to him: "Eunuch Zhao, please hide this matter from Your Majesty first. I will go and check it out in person. No matter what, I will also
We will not let Princess Chaoyan see our Majesty again."
…
However, when Chaoyan was brought to the Yamen of Qingdu, the Qingdu Ling immediately recognized her as Princess Chaoyan, the most beloved princess of the current emperor. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect her, but as a suspect in a major case, he could not let her go just like that.
He left her; and he also doubted that everyone in the world said that Princess Chaoyan flew into the sky and could not be captured by him so easily. Therefore, when he was doubtful, he still imprisoned her in prison and wrote a note explaining the matter clearly.
After passing by, I personally went to report the news to the palace overnight.
After seeing the fold, Jia Fu didn't bother to rest, so he went straight out of the palace and found the Qing capital magistrate kneeling outside the Meridian Gate.
"Ah, Lord Xiangguo!"
Qingdu Ling, who was kneeling in the moon field, saw that Eunuch Zhao had not come out, but the Prime Minister had come out, so he knelt down to greet him and asked, "What did your Majesty say?"
"Master Qi, please get up."
Jia Fu helped him up with both hands and asked: "I want to ask you, are all the things you wrote in the book true?"
"Your Excellency, it is absolutely true! There is not a single lie in the book."
Qingdu Ling nodded seriously and replied, "I was lucky enough to see the face of Princess Chaoyan when His Majesty consecrated her to Princess Chaoyan that day. I should not be wrong. However, my lord, now the Princess has been implicated in a murder case. I'm sorry."
I don’t dare to act on my own, but I don’t know what His Majesty’s will is?”
"Master Qi, take me to see so-and-so and interrogate her personally. Maybe this woman is not the princess, but just a monster pretending to be the princess."
Jia Fu said calmly
"This is easy to handle. Sir Xiangguo, please follow me."
The Qing capital official thought that he was following the emperor's order, so he led the way without thinking.
Jia Fu said, "Master Qi, please wait for a while."
After he finished speaking, he walked aside and clapped his hands three times. The crisp voice sounded particularly clear in the silent night.
"Lord Xiangguo, what are your orders?"
Wu Cheng suddenly jumped down from an unknown corner, knelt in front of him and asked
"Wucheng, do you still have that immortal sword in your hand?"
"Sir, it's in the hands of the little one"
Wu Cheng quickly took off the sword from his waist, raised it high and said
"Okay, I want to use it now, but this time, you don't need to take action, you can just go back and guard the door."
Jia Fu took the jet black sword, nodded and said
"Sir, is there another monster causing trouble?"
Wu Cheng asked worriedly
"You don't need to ask any more questions, step back."
Jia Fu did not answer him, but just ordered:
"Here!"
Although Wu Cheng didn't understand, he never wanted to go against his benefactor's wishes, so he simply agreed, stood up, jumped up, and disappeared.
"I never expected that Mr. Xiangguo has such skilled warriors under his command! A strong general has no weak soldiers. I really admire him!"
Qingdu Ling said with envy
"Master Qi, let's go"
Jia Fu held the sword with a gloomy face and said that the Qing capital vaguely seemed to smell that something was wrong, but many years of experience in officialdom told him not to ask questions that should not be asked, just wait and see what happens.
Along the way, Jia Fu was in a depressed mood. He carefully recalled all the times when Chaoyan spoke to him. Her sincere and frank attitude at that time made him feel deeply ashamed, and he felt that he was a little too much for such an innocent little girl.
, I thought she would really disappear forever and never bother Qin Zheng again, as she said.
But it has only been less than two days and this kind of entanglement has happened. What happened? Could it be that I had misjudged her? In fact, she was a bluffing woman who liked to play tricks and played hard to get. Otherwise, why was it such a coincidence?
He clearly said that he was going to fly back to heaven, but within a day of recovery, your majesty did something like this. He was obviously going to fly to heaven, but how could he be caught by the government officials?
It seems that she must be a duplicitous and scheming woman. If so, we really cannot be soft-hearted and leave room for her!
Thinking of this, Jia Fu's grip on the Immortal Killing Sword became even tighter. He felt a sense of shame that he had been fooled. Regardless of whether this Chaoyan was a demon or not, he was unwilling to trust her anymore.
When I arrived at the prison in Qingdu Yamen, I saw that it was filthy. The torches on the wall barely illuminated the dark prison.
A strong rancid and moldy smell mixed with the smell of burning pine trees came to your nostrils, which was nauseating.
Qingdu Ling led the way, and finally stopped in front of a separate small cell, opened the key and said: "Master Xiangguo, she is in here."
"I know, you go down"
Jia Fu walked in with a gloomy face.
In the dim torchlight, I saw a girl with her hands and feet chained up sitting on the ground.
When she heard the sound of the key opening the door, she stood up quickly, like a frightened deer.
That girl is indeed Chaoyan
"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, Princess."
Jia Fu said sarcastically
"Sir, are you here to save me?"
Chao Yan looked at him pitifully, his expression was quite pitiful and lovable.
"Princess Princess, why did you kill the wealthy family?"
Jia Fu ignored her look for help and asked coldly
"Sir, I was wronged!"
Seeing what he said, Chaoyan felt even more miserable that she couldn't tell. Originally, she thought that as long as Jia Fu knew about it, she could explain her grievances clearly, and then leave here to continue looking for the white spirit bead. But now, she didn't expect that,
Jia Fu didn’t believe himself either! This is so true that even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to wash it away!
"Princess Princess, since you said you were wronged, please tell me the reason why you suddenly appeared at the door of Qian's house twice."
Jia Fu looked at Chao Yan coldly. The firelight on his side made his face dim and bright, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. There was no emotion or anger in his tone.
Chaoyan looked at Jia Fu's indifferent face and thought to himself: When Jia Fu was a star official in the sky, he was a rigorous and meticulous official. There was no room for sand in his eyes.
I ran away into something else, I'm afraid he will be even more convinced that I am a murderer. Although the Queen Mother ordered me to go down to earth to look for the spiritual beads, she did not ask me not to tell others. Now even those who intercept the religion in Shangguande know it.
Once they know what I do, it will be more dangerous than telling mortals. There is no need for me to hide it from Jia Fu anymore.
