Chapter 539: Chapter 538: The Unexpected Reward!_1

Qin Yi had personally investigated these matters, and naturally understood them deeply, presenting them with dignity and orderliness in front of His Majesty, the words were round, the logic was clear.

This swiftly changed His Majesty’s initial impression of him!

Until everything was made clear, His Majesty remained immersed in what he was saying.

It took a long while for him to come to his senses, stroking his long beard as he pointed at him: "Your name is Qin Yi? From Yongze County in Chengdu Prefecture?"

Qin Yi kept kneeling on one knee and hurriedly answered when he heard the words.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble official is indeed Qin Yi."

"Hmm..."

A satisfied expression flashed in His Majesty’s eyes: "You may lift your head!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Yi thanked once again before raising his head. As he slightly lifted his gaze, making a brief contact with the Emperor’s face before sliding down to his chest area.

"Your Majesty!"

"Eh! You, come here and let me take another look."

His Majesty’s face showed an expression of surprise as he summoned Qin Yi.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

However, he followed the order and moved forward half-kneeling until he reached about five steps away from His Majesty.

His Majesty’s eyes were fixed on him, his face full of uncertain shock. He didn’t say anything for a long time, scrutinizing him from head to foot so thoroughly that Qin Yi felt his whole body hair stand on end.

He was somewhat at a loss and looked towards Ye Han for help.

Ye Han was still kneeling in his original position, focusing intently without moving at all, let alone giving him any hint.

Qin Yi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, seeing His Majesty seems to be lost in some sort of thoughts, he reluctantly called to him.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders..."

With this call, he finally brought His Majesty back to his senses.

"Oh, you may rise and stand aside!"

His Majesty read the memorial again twice, and then put the memorial aside: "As for the matter of Prefect Jiang, I am already aware of it. I will arrange for a thorough investigation. You may leave for now!"

Does this mean that he won’t pursue his dereliction of duty?

A hint of joy inevitably appeared on Qin Yi’s face.

However, Ye Han was a bit dissatisfied, he had assumed that His Majesty’s usual decisive and domineering style would at least lead to an immediate probe into the matter even if there wasn’t an immediate reprimand for Prefect Jiang.

But today, His Majesty handled the issue in such a Tai Chi-like manner, which was way beyond his expectations. However, since His Majesty had made up his mind, and every decree was like golden words, he naturally couldn’t interfere any longer.

Helplessly, he had no choice but to change the subject and probed.

"Your Majesty, this humble servant had once asked on Lord Qin’s behalf for the role of Military Commissioner, now, how should we handle this matter..."

His Majesty pondered for a moment, before making a decision.

"Although the case has yielded some leads, it still hasn’t been fully revealed to the world. Qin Yi, you will retain your position as Military Commissioner until this case is completely resolved. You have done a good job in handling the case, conducted yourself reliably, and shown great loyalty. I will grant you a mansion in the South City as your residence, and increase your food allowance by ten stones. In addition... you are granted special permission to freely enter and exit the Imperial Court, temporarily under the name of Ye Han. After this case is resolved, I will make other arrangements."

Ye Han suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise!

He could never have imagined that His Majesty would see Qin Yi in such a different light!

Immediately, he gladly bowed down to express his gratitude: "This humble servant thanks Your Majesty for his immense grace!"

Qin Yi, on the other hand, was still confused on the side, completely oblivious to what His Majesty had said, and was just instinctively following Ye Han to express his thanks!

"This humble servant thanks Your Majesty for his great grace!"

After they left the Hall of Golden Chariots, Ye Han still hadn’t come back to his senses from this abrupt change of events.

Qin Yi kept looking back: "Great General Ye, didn’t His Majesty just reward us with a mansion? Where is it? When can I get it?"

With a mansion, he and Pan’er would no longer need to depend on others, and they could have their own home in the Capital City!

Ye Han stumbled upon hearing his words, and couldn’t help but grumble!

"I say, you..."

Concerned about being within the Imperial Palace, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Why are you putting the cart before the horse? When a regular person hears about these rewards from His Majesty, the first thing they should notice is the special permission to freely enter and exit the Imperial Court!"

The number of people who have been granted the permission to freely enter and exit the Imperial Court in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can be counted on one hand.

Unexpectedly, this boy got it just by meeting His Majesty once!

What’s even more unbelievable is his complete lack of interest in this honor, instead, he can’t get over the thought of the mansion!

This indeed left Ye Han speechless!

"Oh, I heard it, I can freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace, and temporarily announce my appearance under the name of Great General Ye, and also I was given additional food allowance."

Qin Yi repeated the words spoken earlier by His Majesty, and raised his head with a great big smile: "But Great General Ye, do you have any idea where the mansion is? When can we go and take a look? Is everything fully furnished? Do we need to buy anything else? Also..."

He chatted endlessly about all the things to do after moving to the mansion.

Ye Han felt a headache coming as he listened and simply decided out of sight, out of mind, quickly walking out of the palace gate to avoid further annoyance.

But Qin Yi wasn’t having it!

"Great General Ye, my Pan’er is still in the palace. You see..."

"There, isn’t that Doctor Su? She has already come out!" Ye Han pointed ahead.

Following the direction pointed by Ye Han, Qin Yi indeed saw a small sedan was coming out from another lane, quickly approaching them.

The door of the sedan opened, and indeed, it was Su Pan’er sitting inside.

Upon seeing the two of them, Su Pan’er breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly, greeting them while getting out of the sedan!

"Great General Ye, Qin Yi."

"Pan’er, are you okay? Did you see Imperial Consort Hua, she..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Ye Han covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his eyes carrying a profound meaning: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier! Let’s hurry up and leave, we can discuss the details after we leave the palace."

Having said that, he glanced at Qin Yi, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, he turned around and left, and Qin Yi quickly helped Su Pan’er to catch up.

Outside the palace, there were already two carriages waiting. Ye Han got into one by himself and the carriage then moved forward.

Qin Yi helped Su Pan’er into the other carriage, and it followed quickly behind the first carriage.

Su Pan’er was shivering from the cold.

Fortunately, there were two hot-water bottles in the carriage, which were given to Su Pan’er to warm herself up. Qin Yi was worried she would get cold, so he quickly held her in his arms and used his long robe to block the wind for her.

"How is it? Are you still very cold? It’s quite sudden how the weather turned cold."

On a snowy day like this, how could it not be cold?

"It’s fine, I’ve warmed up now."

Su Pan’er gave a faint smile, burying her head into Qin Yi’s chest, and the two started to recount the events that had taken place after they separated.

"Indeed, the palace is not a place for human beings, home is much more comfortable!"

"Hehe! Now we have our own mansion in the Capital City, so we don’t need to rely on others anymore."

Upon mentioning this, they both felt very happy.
