Chapter 752: Chapter 751: A Critical Death Knot!_1

"Ugh..."

He did not have a chance to cry out before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed onto the ground.

Qin Yi withdrew his chopping hand and dashed into the Zen room. After examining the two people on the scene, he strode forward, grabbed Su Pan’er’s hand: "Pan’er, let’s go!"

Go?

She didn’t want to leave right now.

"Let’s go! More people are coming this way."

Qin Yi whispered sternly, dragging her forcibly along with him.

Su Pan’er reluctantly had to follow him. As she turned to leave, she couldn’t resist throwing a parting shot.

"Liao Jue, the so-called barefooted isn’t afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Between you and me, there’s bound to be a direct confrontation. I hope that day doesn’t come too late!"

Monk Liao Jue behind her raised his eyebrows slightly, not saying a word.

As soon as the two of them left Liao Jue, a group of monks rushed into the Bell and Drum Tower behind them.

Qin Yi kept looking back, "I don’t understand, Pan’er, why did you say that?"

No one was chasing them right now, presumably Monk Liao Jue didn’t have the heart to pursue their discourtesy.

"Just wanted to ask, that’s all."

Su Pan’er sighed, then looked up at the sky: "It’s getting late and Yan Yan is still waiting for us in the Zen room. She must be worried if she can’t see us. Let’s go!"

"Probably crying."

Seeing that Su Pan’er didn’t want to talk about it, Qin Yi swallowed his words and began to joke with her.

When they returned to the Zen room, Mrs. Hwa, wife of the State Duke and Mrs. Zhang were all gathered there, chatting and laughing. They turned their attention to the pair as they entered.

Both Su Pan’er and Qin Yi had to greet the elders.

"Yesterday, I saw you looking quite ill, I was worried that your condition was severe. But seeing you attending the morning meditation today, I was relieved."

Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke, looked fine.

"I just felt a bit off yesterday, but now I’m much better. Thank you for your concern."

"I’m not too worried. But yesterday you looked so uncomfortable, why don’t you stay and rest here with me for a few days? You could leave the mountain later."

Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke, suggested.

Su Pan’er gave a wry smile: "Thank you for your kind intentions, but Lord Marquis is quite busy with his official duties, and yesterday’s incident has startled His Majesty. Now that Pan’er is fine, it’s best to go home earlier, so as not to worry everyone."

Although Monk Liao Jue had no intention of pursuing the matter, they’d had a falling out with him, so it would be better to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Indeed, I’d forgotten about that."

Hearing Su Pan’er mention His Majesty, Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke, didn’t insist any further. She exchanged polite words with the pair and then left, surrounded by her company.

As soon as they left, Su Pan’er ordered the servants to serve the meal.

The servers brought the vegetarian dishes. After their meal, everyone retired to bed early.

The next day, before dawn, they mounted their carriage and left the mountain.

When they arrived, they climbed the stone steps one by one, but on their way back, they rode in a horse carriage and galloped down the other side of the mountain road.

As she watched the Wild Goose Pagoda fade into the distance, Su Pan’er frowned, her thoughts returning to the exchange with Monk Liao Jue.

"What are you thinking about?"

Qin Yi, who was sitting with her in the carriage, was teasing their daughter, Yan Yan.

"Nothing, just thinking."

Su Pan’er turned her head, changing the subject: "Mrs. Zhang said, some people, for the sake of trade advantages wanted to petition His Majesty collectively because you let Teacher Song go. What happened with that?"

"Indeed, they petitioned collectively, but it’s not up to them whether His Majesty listens or not."

Qin Yi was full of confidence: "The collective petition wasn’t just ignored by His Majesty, but was also torn up and discarded on the spot. This infuriated those courtiers to the point where they almost committed suicide right then and there. His Majesty was quite tough today, he even said that those old ministers always tried to force his hand due to their seniority. If anyone dares to commit suicide in the grand hall because of this, His Majesty declared that he would add the phrase ’small-minded’ to their tombstones. Those speech officials who value their reputation most, seeing that they couldn’t persuade His Majesty to change his mind, decided to let the matter drop."

Su Pan’er listened quietly.

"As long as there is no further trouble, I’m afraid His Majesty won’t be able to handle it every time. Why not think of a permanent solution to avoid people saying His Majesty is favoring his relatives?"

"Isn’t favoring relatives normal? Could it be that they expect His Majesty not to promote his own trusted associates, but those who oppose him instead? Their wishful thinking is indeed wonderful! They always want to play both sides, trying to benefit from every situation. They also take advantage of His Majesty’s youth, giving instructions at every turn. Right now, His Majesty can tolerate it, but if he gets a few years older, these old ministers will have to pay!"

Qin Yi’s lips curled up in a mocking smile.

Indeed!

Weren’t those old ministers the ones who always sold out because of their seniority?

Su Pan’er smiled: "Those Speech Officials have no compassion. I’m afraid one day they will lose their spoons without knowing why! However, those officials who have been used as pawns are not a concern. You should pay more attention to the people behind them. I don’t believe that without someone brainwashing them and promising them unimaginable wealth, these people would dare to defy His Majesty. They’re really asking for death..."

"I understand. Now, leave the court affairs to me and don’t worry too much. You’re just beginning to recover from your injuries. You need to rest properly to avoid any future complications."

Qin Yi rambled on.

"I know, grandma!"

Su Pan’er laughed and then leaned back on the carriage, closing her eyes to rest.

The carriage continued to move forward, reaching the foot of the mountain in a short while. It went straight to the city gates along the main road. Just as they were about to enter the city, the horse suddenly stopped, causing Su Pan’er, who had been resting with her eyes closed, to lean on the man next to her.

She immediately sat up but was held back by Qin Yi grabbing her shoulder.

"Why are you crying?"

He lowered his head, gently raising her face to examine her.

Su Pan’er twisted her head annoyingly, "Nothing."

"Is it because that... because that bald donkey upset you?" Qin Yi narrowed his eyes.

Su Pan’er laughed inexplicably: "I remember you always called him Immortal Teacher."

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow but still pulled her into his arms, patting her back to soothe her, "I did before, because I didn’t know you had a bone to pick with him."

"I don’t have a bone to pick with him."

Su Pan’er closed her eyes and nestled into his embrace, no longer speaking.

She had no issue with him; just a life-threatening knot, that’s all!

Though Qin Yi wanted to ask more, upon seeing her fatigue, he refrained from saying anything else.

Upon their return to the residence, two Imperial Physicians that His Majesty sent had already been waiting with a great variety of precious medicinal ingredients. After checking her pulse and inquiring about her condition, they instructed her to rest as much as possible in the bed. They then left a prescription and left to report back to the palace.

As soon as the Imperial Physicians left, Ye Han rushed into the room.
