Chapter 254 Ditang
After Qin Zhi returned to the palace, he first sent Shen Ningyue back to the Pepper Palace and ordered the imperial physician to check her pulse. Only after hearing that she was not seriously ill did he return to the Zhaozheng Palace.
After stepping into the gate, Zhang Deli was about to open his mouth, but Qin Zhi ignored him and gave him a look, which made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his lips.
After washing up and changing his clothes at a leisurely pace, he sat in front of the imperial desk and flipped through a few memorials. After the golden crow had completely set and he had dinner, Qin Zhi sat lazily in the hall, looking at the breeze outside the door swaying the bamboo leaves, and drinking tea leisurely.
Zhang Deli fanned the cypress incense in the corner of the palace, watched the smoke curl up, sniffed the smell, and then tentatively spoke again, jokingly:
"Your Majesty did not bring me with him this time. Are the other servants around you as attentive and careful as I am?"
Qin Zhi sneered, "You are good at flattering yourself. Tell me about the Third Prince's reaction."
"I will obey your majesty's order."
Zhang Deli knelt on the ground like a joke, bowed deeply, and tried to pave the way for his next words of praise.
Qin Zhi raised his chin slightly and looked at Zhang Deli's rather solemn actions with a half-smile in his eyes.
"Am I too kind to you? Since you have so many little tricks waiting to happen before we get down to business, then - just kneel down and talk."
Zhang Deli pressed his forehead to the ground and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, can I raise my head?"
Qin Zhi stood up, kicked Zhang Deli lightly, and then walked out with big strides.
"Go out and talk."
After having a full meal, Qin Zhi wanted to take a walk and enjoy the evening breeze.
After being kicked, Zhang Deli immediately got up from the ground and followed at the fastest pace.
A group of palace servants and eunuchs were holding palace lanterns on both sides of the road, illuminating the road beneath their feet very clearly.
Zhang Deli followed closely behind Qin Zhi on the right side.
“Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is a calm and steady person.
When I received the complaint from the palace maids in Yueshi Palace and some physical evidence and led people to search the palace, Concubine Li was unwilling to cooperate and made a lot of noise the whole time.
The Third Prince was very calm despite his young age. He asked the servant the reason in a leisurely manner and considerately made way for the servant. He did not lose his composure at all until the servant left and ordered the eunuchs to guard the gate of the Moon Chamber Palace.
The corners of Qin Zhi's lips were slightly raised, and under the soft moonlight, there was a barely perceptible glow of joy in his eyes.
"Go on." Qin Zhi slowed down his pace and said leisurely.
"Yesterday, I heard from the eunuch guarding the Moon Chamber Palace that not long after I left, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince happened to go to the Moon Chamber Palace to look for His Royal Highness the Third Prince.
Only then did the Third Prince reveal his fear and anxiety as the Fourth Prince comforted him, and he burst into tears, complaining to the Fourth Prince about his grievances.
His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince did not rashly try to break into the Moon Room Palace. Instead, he turned around and went directly to the Zhaozheng Palace to ask the servant the reason for the blockade of the Moon Room Palace.
Because Your Majesty was not in the palace, and I privately thought that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was still a little young, I took it upon myself to conceal the specific reason and dared not tell His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.
His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince came to angrily rebuke me for my presumptuous behavior, which was quite courageous.
At a young age, the Third Prince is calm and steady, while the Fourth Prince is quite courageous. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince are brothers and sisters, and their friendship is deep. I congratulate Your Majesty."
"That's great. It's a pity that I don't have a brother who grew up with me." Qin Zhi shook his head and sighed half-seriously.
