In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1135 How Does His Majesty Intend to Deal With This?

On one hand, extending good relations with Su Pan’er, and on the other hand, also indirectly reminding not to forget the matter of Jun Ruochen.

Qin Yi was silent for a long while before he turned his back, hands behind him, and gazed at the willows not far away, "Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hua, and Old Mrs. Xue used a jade token to exchange for the opportunity to have Jun Ruochen’s case reviewed again. Naturally, I remember that. However, afterwards, during our encounter with danger in the Imperial City, we nearly did not make it back to the Imperial Palace alive. Following that was the Lantern Festival uprising, in which Qin Feimo’s shadow was hardly absent."

Su Pan’er nodded in understanding, "I am aware of this matter. I also know that you summoned Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hua, and Old Mrs. Xue. Although I am not aware of what you discussed, I presume it must be related to whose life the jade token is used to save, right?"

Qin Yi smiled.

"My dear Pan’er is indeed clever."

He wore a look of appreciation as he turned around to support Su Pan’er, continuing to walk forward, "Both the Hwa and Xue families possess jade tokens, which serve as Gold Medals that grant immunity from death. Since the founding of Our Great Zhou, more than ten of such tokens have been issued. Over the centuries, some of them have been gradually reclaimed. Of the remaining four, the Hwa family holds one, and the Xue family holds one. The whereabouts of the remaining two have become unknown over the passage of time."

"What happened then?"

"What happened then? Well then... obviously I analyzed for them, whether it was worth it or not to use such a precious jade token to save the lives of those two persons."

Qin Yi smirked coldly.

"Oh!—You’re so cunning!"

Su Pan’er came to a realization!

The ancestors of the Xue and Hwa families had preserved the jade tokens for centuries, surely there must have been countless opportunities to use them, yet they were reserved until now. The difficulties could only be imagined!

And now His Majesty gave the two families a choice, though it’s called a choice, calling it an interrogation wouldn’t be false either!

If the Hwa and Xue families insisted on saving Jun Ruochen and Qin Feimo, they would certainly entangle each other’s interests. The importance of Jun Ruochen compared to Qin Feimo would be immediately judged.

However, even if they used the jade token to save Qin Feimo, with the crime of "treason" on his back, he could escape death but not punishment!

What would become of the saved Qin Feimo?

Would the two families resolutely present the jade token, simultaneously saving Qin Feimo and Jun Ruochen?

If only one was to be saved, which family would offer up the jade token?

...

Thinking about it this way, a seemingly simple matter became complicated when entangled with a sufficient number of interests!

Su Pan’er soon understood!

No wonder everyone was so anxious at the start, with Speech Officials submitting petitions daily. But suddenly, overnight, everything calmed down, for there were all these inner workings.

"How have I become cunning? Directly rewarding meritorious subjects with the jade token, strictly speaking, am I not diligently cleaning up after the ancestors? If we talk about grievances, to whom shall I recount our wrongs? Come, let’s go this way."

He casually pointed towards a cluster of hibiscus flowers nearby.

A large grove of hibiscus trees was planted here, with several flowers blooming on the trees. The hibiscus, known as Morning Glory, blooms and withers in a single day.

The best time to pick hibiscus flowers is in the morning, when the flowers are not yet fully open, and harvesting them at this moment is ideal.

There were few flowers on the trees at this moment, but it was sufficient to pick some to taste the freshness.

Qin Yi bent the branches, picking hibiscus flower blossoms and placing them onto the plate brought by a palace maid.

Due to the weather, the flowers were sparse, and after continuously picking from several hibiscus bushes, he finally gathered a large plateful, then he stopped.

Su Pan’er watched him pick flowers in silence until enough blossoms were gathered and sent to the Imperial Kitchen, and then she accompanied him as they slowly walked back.

Hand in hand, wrapped in love, Su Pan’er and Qin Yi walked together, while the palace maids and eunuchs respectfully trailed behind, careful not to disturb their peaceful mood.

"Your Majesty, is there really no other way?"

Su Pan’er’s voice was very soft.

While speaking, she did not look at him but instead gently stroked her round belly. "I do not wish to speak for Fei’er, nor am I pleading on his behalf. I only hope to minimize the killing. Fei’er has been kind to me, saving me from danger time and time again. I am also aware that he once stabbed you in the back; I should not be considering sparing him..."

"So you still wish to plead for him?"

Qin Yi chuckled coldly.

"I want to accumulate blessings for the child in my womb; I want to give them every possible chance. I wish to give birth to Your Majesty’s son and continue the legacy of Great Zhou! I know I should not be softhearted, but I’m betting on that slim chance. Perhaps Heaven possesses kindness and will grant me a prince for my devotion..."

Su Pan’er bit her lip in frustration.

She wasn’t sure if her words would sway Qin Yi.

When Qin Yi had been brought before her with a knife in his back, she wished she could kill Qin Feimo to avenge Qin Yi’s life.

Since then, Qin Feimo had deceived her again and again, leading her to profound disappointment. Nonetheless, deep down, she still did not wish for Qin Feimo to die.

"Rest assured! I have already promised Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hwa, and Old Mrs. Xue that I will spare his life."

Qin Yi spoke evenly, then stopped, turning to gaze at her.

His look held something she couldn’t quite understand.

Su Pan’er gaped at him in surprise!

After a long pause, she found her voice again, "They actually agreed..."

The ’they’ she referred to was shock that the Hwa Family and the Xue Family were willing to trade such a precious jade token for Qin Feimo’s life!

"Why wouldn’t they?"

Qin Yi found it quite natural. "Former Imperial Consort Hua’s mother is the legitimate daughter of State Duke Hwa and Mrs. Hwa. And strictly speaking, Qin Feimo should call Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hwa, his great-great-grandmother. Who else would he save if not his own descendants?"

The court’s powers are intricately entangled and complicated beyond measure.

It is for this reason that once something happens, it sets off a chain reaction that affects almost everyone in the court to some degree.

"So there’s that connection, no wonder..."

Su Pan’er sighed!

She then remembered that she and Qin Feimo were cousins, which helped her feel resigned.

She let go of her worries and couldn’t help but show a trace of a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with Qin Feimo?"

But Qin Yi did not answer; instead, he took her hand and slowly began to climb the stairs, "Such matters of state are not for you to worry about. Focus on your pregnancy health, that’s all."

Speaking of state affairs again at a time like this?

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes at this arrogant, self-important man!

After thinking a bit, she suddenly remembered a story. "Let me tell you a story."

"Once upon a time, a carpenter cut down a tree and made three buckets. One bucket was used for carrying dung and was called the dung bucket, which everyone avoided; another was used for carrying water and was called the water bucket, which everyone used; and the last was used for wine, known as the wine bucket, enjoyed by all. The buckets were all the same, but because their uses were different, their fates naturally differed as well, and so it is with life."
