Gulp!
Ding Yi’s stomach grumbled in disappointment.” Want a drink?” he suggested.
“There are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with. Maybe next time!”
Zhang Ronghua asked Uncle Ding to send him to the Eastern Palace.
“How did the Ministry of Works handle it?” she asked.
Ding Yi said,” Punishing half a year’s salary. The merits and demerits offset each other. Logically speaking, the leak of the Flame Thunder Bead formula is such a huge matter. It’s impossible for the punishment to be this small!”
“He should have joined His Majesty.”
He understood! The doubts were solved.
“Did His Majesty obtain the greatest benefits?” Ding Yi asked.
“The matter has already happened. We can only maximize the benefits. There’s no other way! If he had a choice, His Majesty would never do this. What about the others?”
Ding Yi continued,” MO Shouli was demoted to a commoner due to his negligence. The related people of the Second Hall of the manufacturing division were handed over to the Supreme Court and interrogated by the Ministry of Justice. Only the technical staff are left. They are also under investigation. Because of Sun Jin, the Second Hall was almost abolished.”
“I hope there’s good news.” Zhang Ronghua sighed.
As they spoke, the carriage stopped outside the Eastern Palace.
He reminded her to be careful on the road.
He got out of the car and entered the Eastern Palace.
Shangwen Hall.
The lights were on, and the swaying lights reflected the Crown Prince’s figure for a long time. The golden phoenix stood guard outside, while Qing ‘er and Shuang er waited on him inside. It was getting late.
“Will Qing Lin be coming over tonight?” asked the Green Girl.
He’s always trustworthy!” The Crown Prince read through the government affairs without stopping. He did not even raise his head.
“Is it really alright to cause such a huge commotion today?”
“If we go there with a mission, we won’t be able to explain ourselves to the higher-ups if we don’t make some achievements! The Flame Thunder Pearl is of great importance. Let alone these few people, it doesn’t matter even if there are more. I’m satisfied that he dealt with the aftermath. These empty positions didn’t monopolize them. The distribution of benefits was just right. He had a big picture and was always clear-headed. Only such a person can go further in the imperial court.”
Footsteps sounded.
“He’s here.” The Crown Prince smiled.
Outside the hall.
“Is His Highness inside?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
Jin Feng looked at him with a complicated expression. No wonder the Crown
Prince thought so highly of him. She had to admire him. He was very capable!
“I’m handling official business.”
He opened the door of the hall and made an inviting gesture.
After he entered, he closed the door.
He entered.
“Greetings, Your Highness.” Zhang Ronghua bowed. “Sit!” The Crown Prince pointed at the chair opposite him.
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Shuang ‘er served tea and placed a cup of steaming hot tea on the side.
“What are your plans next?” the Crown Prince asked.
Zhang Ronghua said seriously,” After today’s meeting, the Imperial Censorate’s waters run deep. It’s more terrifying than I imagined. It’s internally united and xenophobic. The forces are complicated. It’s not too much to say that Du Chengming’s faction is able to cover the sky with one hand. Don’t think that I’ve managed to open a corner and Pang Youshan has broken the situation. It can only be said that I’ve barely established myself in the four divisions. If I want to open up the situation, I’ll have to wait and see.”
Don’t shoulder the burden alone when you encounter difficulties. You’re not fighting alone. No matter the situation, even if you cause trouble in the court, I will support you.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
“Did you just come out of the palace?” The Crown Prince smiled with concern.
“Yes.”
“I ordered someone to prepare dinner for you. You can go back after eating.” Zhang Ronghua did not refuse.
Shuang ‘er went out for a while and returned with two maids. They placed the dishes on the table one by one. It was relatively simple. There were six dishes, one soup, two desserts, and a pot of Heavenly Jade Brew.
She picked up her chopsticks and started eating very quickly.
After eating, he put down his chopsticks and took a sip of tea. He did not drink any alcohol and wiped the oil off the corner of his mouth with a soft tissue.
“The palace sent a batch of spiritual fruits this morning. Bring some back,” the Crown Prince said. “Thank you for your reward, Your Highness!”
He left the main hall.
Shuang ‘er clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
“What can’t I say?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
“Then I’ll say it!”
‘Yes.”
“Have you nurtured the twin sisters?”
His expression did not change.
Zhang Ronghua pondered. Was it the Crown Prince’s idea or hers? Some time ago, her rejection was very obvious and her attitude was firm. In addition, her status had become more and more important. Now, she even had the power to supervise the officials. Her power had increased further and her influence had begun to show. With the Crown Prince’s intelligence, he would not mention this matter. Otherwise, there would be a gap. He deduced that it should be her who wanted to ask.
“It’s almost done!” he said with a smile.
Shuang ‘er didn’t say anything else. A dim look flashed in the depths of her eyes. It was empty. Now, it seemed that she couldn’t even be a concubine.
They arrived at the storeroom.
Although she didn’t become a concubine, she still took care of Zhang Ronghua.
Zhang Ronghua wanted to empty this place out. He took a lot of every spiritual fruit and twenty flasks of Heavenly Jade Wine. His expression did not change, but his heart was heavy. He was not stupid. How could he not see Shuang ‘er’s love? However, she couldn’t. Her identity was destined to not work. If she had a different background, she would have accepted her.
They left the storeroom.
When they arrived at the front hall, they happened to meet Feng Jianxiu, who had just returned from his patrol. His injuries had already recovered, and from him, they learned that two more Flood Dragon Guards had gone missing today. The crown prince had increased his manpower to investigate, but there was still no news. He had already ordered that before this matter was resolved, the Flood Dragon Guards on duty should not return to the manor for the time being and stay in the dormitory.
left the eastern Palace
Zhang Ronghua didn’t understand. Who attacked the Flood Dragon Guards and what was their motive? He couldn’t figure it out, so he could only see if Zheng Yi could find out anything.
After a while.
After returning to the residence and entering the backyard, Uncle Shi had yet to rest. He sat on a stone bench and looked at the man-made lake. Two fish floated on the surface of the water, occasionally opening their mouths to spit bubbles..
