Chapter 189: Ambiguous Mood
The King of Qin continued to use swift and resolute methods. In less than ten days, he had thoroughly investigated the corruption case involving the Shandong Road River Management Project.
More than a dozen corrupt officials were thrown into cages and escorted back to Bianjing City.
This time, Qin Wang Zhao Defang did not become critically ill due to the recurrence of residual toxins from overwork. Instead, he dragged his sick body, which was still sustaining the residual toxins from overwork, and personally went to court to report and hand over the case.
Today was just a small court meeting. The King of Qin dragged his tired steps into the imperial study. Although his body was still upright, his pale and gray face showed fatigue and illness that could not be concealed!
He was calm and composed, his tone as gentle and indifferent as always: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated the Shandong Road River Management Bank corruption case. The corrupt officials involved have been escorted to Beijing and detained in the Dali Temple jail. The details of the case and the evidence are all in the case files. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at the King of Qin with mixed feelings!
[My second prince died again, but you are still alive.]
The people who were monitoring you in Shandong Road reported that you have been investigating the case there and have not left Shandong Road. There is evidence that you were not in the capital for the deaths of the two princes. Does this matter have anything to do with you?
If you were the mastermind, then you, Yun Yi, the leader of the shadow guards with the highest martial arts skills, and your uncle Ghost Hand are not in the capital, so who did you order to do it?
If this matter has nothing to do with you, then who did it? 】
The emperor was making all sorts of guesses in his mind, his heart ached, and a hidden coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, nephew! Since you are the one who investigated the case, you should be the one to handle it! Go ahead and close the case immediately!" There was a domineering and tough tone in the emperor's tone.
The King of Qin did not bargain because of his illness, nor did he show any resentment or dissatisfaction. His voice was still gentle and calm: "Your nephew obeys your order!"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin dragged his exhausted body out of the imperial study.
A dozen important officials of the court murmured in their hearts that the emperor would not stop until the King of Qin was exhausted to death!
After leaving the palace, Prince Qin Zhao Defang returned to the palace. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to go straight to Ning Xinyuan.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who had a sickly look on his face and walked tiredly in the front yard, became full of energy after entering Ningxin Garden. He walked to the door of the house with swift and graceful steps.
Yingxue, who was standing guard at the door, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, are you back? You must have had a hard time on your journey."
The King of Qin smiled and nodded, then walked into the room. Seeing the princess sitting at the table eating melon seeds, his eyes immediately became gentle and embraced the figure he had been thinking about day and night. "Princess, I helped you get rid of Wu Meizhu, can you give me a few melon seeds as a reward?"
Luo Li's heart moved when she saw the figure of Qin Wang Zhao Defang!
At this moment, listening to that familiar warm and magnetic voice, looking at the tenderness in those deep eyes, my heart trembles like the strings of a plucked guitar!
[Alas! I am in love! The feeling of falling in love is so sweet and wonderful. All my sobriety and concentration cannot withstand this wonderful temptation.]
She rolled her beautiful eyes at him with a pouty look and said, "I still have a use for Wu Meizhu! I asked you to get rid of her, and you still want a reward?" There was a hint of coquettishness in Luo Li's unreasonableness.
The King of Qin lifted his robe and sat down, then picked up a handful of melon seeds and started peeling them.
"Then I will reward my Li'er for being so well behaved this time."
Luo Li rolled her eyes again and said angrily: "I thought you were not as quick as me if I was not obedient! You killed the Second Prince as soon as you returned to the capital overnight, leaving me no chance at all."
The King of Qin looked up at the princess' bright and lovely face when she was acting coquettishly, and his heart felt as soft as a pool of spring water.
"Li'er, I will protect you. Don't take any risks yourself in the future."
A sweet warmth surged in Luo Li's heart. She lowered her eyes and nodded gently: "Yeah!"
"Princess, try the melon seeds I peeled myself. Are they sweet?"
Seeing the melon seeds being handed to her mouth by the hand with slender and strong fingers, Luo Li opened her mouth and took a bite!
"Are there fragrant and sweet melon seeds? You are lying with your eyes open!"
Master, don't be fooled by this brat's sweet talk. Melon seeds are fragrant and not sweet!" The ghost-handed poison doctor walked into the room teasingly.
The ambiguous mood when young boys and girls fall in love is very beautiful, but it was discovered by the poison doctor with poor eyesight!
Luo Li angrily scolded, "Ghost Hand, don't you know the difference between men and women? Don't hang around Ning Xin Garden if you have nothing to do in the future!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor argued with a sly smile on his face: "Master, I know there are differences between men and women, but I am a disciple who is a generation younger than you! Besides, I am already an old man.
This brat is a handsome and charming young man, Master, why don't you treat him differently from men and women? " After saying this, he gave his nephew a provocative look.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang smiled proudly and said: "We are husband and wife!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor curled his lips in disdain!
"Husbands and wives sleep together in the same bed. You little brat, you have the guts to sleep in Ning Xin Yuan tonight."
Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Luo Li got up in anger and walked towards the inner room.
: "Both of you get out of here! You won't get any dinner tonight!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor sat down, winked at his nephew and whispered, "Brat, try harder! It won't be long before you can stay at Ning Xinyuan."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang nodded vigorously! "I will continue to work hard."
Ruhua and Yingchun smiled secretly, they also hoped that this most suitable couple in the world would get married soon.
Tingting and Banxia put dinner on the table. Ruhua joked to the young lady lying on the bed, "Young lady, you can be shy too? Get up and eat."
Luo Li sat up with a thud and walked out of the room: "Who said I was shy? I was just angry!"
Luo Li looked at the two people sitting at the table, waiting for her to come out for dinner, and said angrily, "Don't they fight for food every day? Why are they like two wooden pegs today?"
The ghost-handed poison doctor fawned on the master and quickly handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Master, how dare we eat before you pick up your chopsticks!"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang also smiled and flattered, "Yes! The princess is the boss in Qin Wang's mansion."
Luo Li couldn't help but burst out laughing! Her embarrassment and anger also disappeared.
He sat down and picked up the chopsticks. Just as he picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor swung his chopsticks up and ate quickly.
The King of Qin glanced at his useless uncle with disdain, picked up the chopsticks gracefully, first picked up a piece of each dish for the princess and put it on the plate, then started to eat with his uncle.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor grabbed the food and gave his nephew a thumbs up with a wink.
Qin Wangchao glanced at him again with disdain!
"Princess, the foreign merchant from overseas arrived in the capital yesterday. He brought with him the snowflake iron he bought from overseas. What kind of sword do you want? Let's go to the Moyun Cavalry Camp outside the city tomorrow and ask the craftsmen to make it."
Luo Li was so excited that the shrimp on her chopsticks fell off.
He smiled with his eyebrows curved: "Okay! I have already asked Hong Gu and the others what kind of swords they want. I will bring the drawings tomorrow."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor gave his nephew a thumbs up in admiration!
After dinner, the King of Qin, who always had a mysophobia, did not bother to wash off the dust from the journey and hurried back to Ningxin Garden through the tunnel.
After waiting for a long time, Hong Gu finally filled the bathtub with water and came to the tunnel to stand guard.
"Miss, after the toilet paper workshop was expanded, we still couldn't keep up with the production even though we were working day and night. We open every three days and it's sold out in two hours.
Wu Neng and I are discussing expanding the workshop by two times." Ruhua discussed with the young lady.
"Yes! Everyday products like toilet paper are affordable to any small wealthy family, so let Wu Neng produce them vigorously. After the market in Beijing is saturated, we can sell them to other places!"
Ruhua continued to report: "Miss, the canned food business of the Second Young Master is in its peak season. There are five or six imitations in the capital, so the Second Young Master has taken a few boats to Jiangnan to find sales."
Luo Li said while playing with the water splashes: "My second brother is a dandy, he is smart and not afraid of hard work.
Tomorrow, Zhao Defang and I will go to the Moyun Cavalry Camp in the south of the city to finish the work of customizing the precious swords. Let's go to the village in the west of the city and tell your Luo Cong that the canned fruit production is finished, and the canned meat and instant noodles should also be prepared and produced."
Ruhua blushed, but she didn't say anything to the young lady out of embarrassment.
I felt so sweet in my heart thinking that I would be able to see Brother Luo Cong again tomorrow, as I had just dreamed about him last night.
The King of Qin thought to himself: I have seen and used toilet paper before. Canned meat is probably canned meat. What are instant noodles?
Anyway, the products made by my princess are all good things that are not available in this world. Tomorrow I must pester her and follow her to the workshop on her farm to take a look.
