Chapter 91: Shameless Part Three
After a long while, the crippled old man sighed and asked, “You are waiting for your friend?”
Qi Lin didn’t turn his head, but he nodded. “He said that he would come to Beckon of the Red Sleeve first to ask you guys where Fang Jie went. We said that we are going to gather here and leave the city.”
“He didn’t come here,” the crippled old man said, “Perhaps… he wouldn’t come here anymore.”
Qi Lin suddenly turned around and roared with his eyes all red, “He isn’t dead!”
The crippled old man slowly shook his head and fell silent.
At this moment, Da Quan and Mu Xiaoyao walked over from the other side of the street. Chen Qingshan was sitting in a wheelchair, and Da Quan and Mu Xiaoyao were pushing her.
Chen Qingshan’s face was terrifyingly pale. It was already a small miracle for her to escape after taking a strike from a level 9 master.
The three of them were locked inside a courtyard in the Royal Guard, and they were only released in the morning.
The three of them were happy at first; their release meant that Fang Jie was successful.
Although they were locked in the same courtyard as Fang Jie, Mr. Zhuo told them that Fang Jie was brought to Smooth Spring Garden to see the Emperor. If Fang Jie grasped this opportunity and used it well, their case would be temporarily closed.
However, before the three of them could smile, Mr. Zhuo who returned to the headquarters in the morning brought them a piece of bad news.
Heng Gun was dead.
Now seeing this big man whose body was shivering a little, Da Quan opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Qi Lin looked at Chen Qingshan and said with a hoarse voice while his eyes were all red, “He said that he owes you his life, and he must repay you. Now, he has repaid you.”
Chen Qingshan’s head lowered, and her fingers trembled.
…
-Smooth Spring Garden-
Fang Jie stood there and breathed carefully. Although the Emperor who was sitting on the heatable brick bed not far away didn’t have a big figure, the pressure that Fang Jie was sensing made him extremely nervous.
[TL Note: Heatable brick bed’s name has heat in it, but it is indeed cool in the summer. It is heatable since small fires could be lit under the bed to keep it warm in the winter.]
He was brought to Smooth Spring Garden last night, but the Emperor was handling business and didn’t meet him.
Last night, Fang Jie waited in a small room in a simple building. Even though there was a wooden bed, Fang Jie didn’t dare to sleep.
In the morning, a eunuch came to call him. On the way, this eunuch told him that Mu Xiaoyao and others were already released.
This was a good signal.
On the way, Fang Jie planned to give some silver certificates to this eunuch. He clenched his teeth and counted five silver certificates that were worth 100 taels of silver each in one of his sleeves before handing it to this eunuch.
However, this Eunuch Su smiled and waved his head while saying, “I don’t have the courage, and I have no place to spend it.”
Fang Jie blushed; he didn’t know if this eunuch thought that 500 taels of silver were too little, or this eunuch truly had no desire for money.
After entering the Royal Study, Fang Jie grew extremely anxious.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. I’m Fang Jie.” Fang Jie kowtowed according to the custom, and he tried to calm himself down while he lowered his head and breathed slowly.
Even though Fang Jie’s mind was from the 21st Century on Earth, he had to act according to the rules in this imperial world. All the emperors that Fang Jie saw on TV on Earth were actors, but the one in front of him right now was real. Fang Jie was curious but also felt the pressure. He wanted to look up and see what the Emperor looked like.
“Stand up.” The Emperor put down his inkbrush and looked at the scenery outside while saying calmly, “I need to have the morning meeting in a while, so you don’t have much time. I released your friends not because I’m pardoning all of you. Since you are here, they don’t need to be locked up. If all of you need to be executed, none of you could escape.”
Fang Jie suddenly felt like the Emperor was cunning and vicious.
“Before I finish this cup of tea, give me a reason not to kill you along with all your friends and relatives.” The Emperor drank a bit of tea, meaning that the countdown had begun.
“If I’m dead, my master will be heartbroken.” After about a minute, Fang Jie finally managed to say something.
“Shameless!” The Emperor almost spat the tea out of his mouth.
Qi Lin didn’t turn his head, but he nodded. “He said that he would come to Beckon of the Red Sleeve first to ask you guys where Fang Jie went. We said that we are going to gather here and leave the city.”
“He didn’t come here,” the crippled old man said, “Perhaps… he wouldn’t come here anymore.”
