Chapter 172 Waiting for the Will

"I know it!"

"I know it!" The prince and the second prince looked at the ruler and could only reluctantly obey the order. Who let Guo Baokun, a person who is not afraid of the prince at all, hold the ruler given by the emperor? Generally speaking, , even if Emperor Qing gave him a ruler, the ministers as lecturers would not use the ruler to really punish the prince. After all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. It is more to punish the other party's followers. Only Guo Baokun was unscrupulous and used the ruler, a powerful weapon, to threaten and punish the prince without any scruples, and Emperor Qing actually didn't mind at all. The princes were unlucky to meet such an incompetent person.

Fan Xian felt a little confused when he saw Guo Baokun bullying the crown prince and the second prince. This Guo Baokun must be too courageous. Although he never thought that the crown prince and the second prince were superior to others, he still felt wary of them. Every day Every time we met, we dealt with them carefully. I never thought of treating them like Guo Baokun. It was really like treating them like students. If they were wrong, they would be punished at will.

"Since both Your Highnesses are here for Fan Xian, I won't beat around the bush. I know what you two are thinking. Isn't it because of the so-called inner treasury wealth?" Guo Baokun looked at the Crown Prince and the Second Prince who had just sat down. , directly clarifying the purpose of the two people.

"Fan Xian is about to take charge of the inner treasury. It is not up to him, and certainly not up to the two His Highnesses. It was appointed by His Majesty, so no matter how much you try to toss Fan Xian, it will be useless. It will only be self-defeating and make things worse. Your Majesty is even more determined. After all, the majesty of the emperor cannot be questioned." Guo Baokun revealed all of Emperor Qing's thoughts and the emperor's thoughts. He didn't care at all about the horrified eyes of everyone. He understood that he was prying into the emperor's thoughts, which in the eyes of the emperor It was offensive and could easily be disliked by the emperor.

"I believe that His Majesty should have already known about this farce in Kyoto Prefecture. After all, the Inspection and Examination Institute is very well-informed. I believe that His Majesty's decree will be sent soon, so there is no need for everyone to argue and interrogate. Let the ruling be based on the Holy Will, everyone just sit back and wait!" Guo Baokun said.

Everyone had different reactions after hearing Guo Baokun's words. Fan Xian's face was full of worry, not for himself, but for Teng Zijing. After all, it was true that Teng Zijing faked his death, and it could be regarded as cheating and defecting, whether in accordance with the law or According to the rules, it's a dead end.

Si Lili was immersed in the tenderness of Guo Baokun just now and had not yet come out. Although his face was pale, he could still see a trace of shyness. Si Lili had gone through many hardships and had a rough life since he fled to the mainland after the Qing Dynasty coup. Too many people have evil hearts, and everyone covets and uses her. There is no one who is not selfish or ambiguous at all, but cares about her simply because they can't bear it. This makes her have a heart that has been frozen for many years. There is a slight crack, and I feel that there is still a trace of warmth in the world, not hell.

The prince and the second prince looked thoughtful and worried. They had always thought about fighting for the financial rights of the inner treasury before, but they had never considered that the one who could make the decision was not them or Fan Xian, but their father. So That's why there was such a commotion. They were worried because they didn't know what kind of punishment they would face from Emperor Qing for this fight.

As for the person who is most worried and frightened among them, Mei Zhili, as the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, in this incident, he was so confused that he was just like a grass on the wall. He had no responsibility at all as the governor of Kyoto Prefecture. Because he was afraid of the prince and the second prince, he wavered left and right, completely forgetting that he was a minister of Emperor Qing and only needed to be loyal to Emperor Qing. Mei Zhili is already old and has experienced the rise and coup of the Qing Kingdom. He knows what kind of person Emperor Qing is. He is talented and strategic, domineering and courageous, ruthless, wise and wise. Therefore, Mei Zhili admires Emperor Qing very much. fear.

Of course, it is Guo Baokun who feels most at ease here and is not worried at all. After all, the matter has nothing to do with him. As for the issue of Teng Zijing's life, he believes that Emperor Qing will not deny him this face. Emperor Qing asked his father-in-law to inform him about Teng Zijing's matter, so Emperor Qing knows the cause and effect. Naturally, Emperor Qing will He understood that Guo Baokun would save Teng Zijing's life. After more than two years of getting along with him, Emperor Qing knew Guo Baokun's character quite well and knew that he was a person with clear grudges. Likewise, Guo Baokun also understood Emperor Qing's character and could make Guo Baokun owe him a favor. How rare was it after all? How could Emperor Qing waste this opportunity? Maybe Emperor Qing was very grateful to Fan Xian and Teng Zijing for this fake death incident.

"How are you? Do you feel better? Has the pain in your fingers eased?" Guo Baokun came to Si Lili's side and asked softly.

"I feel much better. Your ointment is very effective. The pain in my fingers is much less now!" Si Lili nodded and told Guo Baokun how he felt.

"It's good if it works. If nothing goes wrong, your injury will be healed in less than a month. After all, no bones are injured. You just need to pay attention to the maintenance of your fingers during this period, otherwise it will be easy to leave scars." Guo Baokun He knew the extent of Si Lili's injury very well, and made sure that the phalanges were not seriously injured at the beginning. This was due to Guo Baokun's timely arrival, otherwise Si Lili's finger might have become the root cause of the disease.

"You can keep this box of ointment. Change the ointment once a day. As long as there are no accidents, it will basically leave no scars!" Guo Baokun took out the previous golden sore ointment from his arms, handed it to Si Lili, and looked at it Looking at Si Lili's injured hands, he had to take off the purse from his waist and put the ointment in. Then Guo Baokun bent down and tied the purse around Si Lili's waist.

Si Lili looked at the man in front of him and felt the hot breath exhaled from his mouth and nose. His face seemed to be steamed and turned red. He did not dare to look directly at Guo Baokun with his big eyes, so he had to look around, hoping to relieve his inner tension. and shy.

Guo Baokun tied his purse and looked at Si Lili's red face. His expression changed involuntarily. He quickly stretched out his right hand and put it on Si Lili's forehead. Then he took his hand back and put it on his own forehead, comparing it. After checking their body temperatures, they found that there was not much difference, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, Guo Baokun thought that the injury to Si Lili's finger caused an infection, which caused him to develop a fever. Only then did Guo Baokun's face turn red. You must know that in this world lacking antibiotics, bacterial infections can cause death. Basically, survival depends on luck. Although Guo Baokun is very confident in his medical skills and even more proud of his Xuanming Qi, after all, this is his first time coming into contact with Qi. There is no standard for judging the therapeutic effect of Qi, so he is very worried. , fortunately it was not an infection.
