The Group’s Favorite Cute Baby is One and a Half Years Old

Chapter 538: The emperor favors one over the other

Qi Yuanming said angrily, "The credit for the jade mine we sold was taken away by Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen again."

“Now everyone in the capital is praising them for their ability and that they are important officials in the imperial court.”

　　　Pooh, you are just a credit-stealer.

 The hard work was not done at all, but all the credit fell on them, which was really unpleasant.

Qi Yuanming was extremely angry, but what Sister Ying thought of was not about grabbing credit.

She asked, "Didn't the Emperor know this? Why do you still give the credit to them?"

Is it possible that the emperor did it on purpose?

Qi Yuanming sighed and explained to her, "Before, A Jing and I were working for His Majesty in secret. It was not convenient for us to behead our heads and reveal our identities. We both needed to keep a low profile."

 Therefore, the emperor did not praise them on the stage for many of their meritorious deeds, but rewarded them privately.

This method of compensation is okay. After all, we are acting in secret and cannot be high-profile.

  But it will be different later.

Since the emperor supported Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen, almost all the credit has fallen on them.

 Because these two people are not from the capital, they are not here at all, and they were born into poor families. It is not easy to make achievements in the capital.

So the emperor would always transfer the credit for Jing Shirong and Qi Yuanming to Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen, causing Qi Yuanming to be very resentful.

 When he gets angry, he will definitely quarrel with Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen.

Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen are also scheming. When Qi Yuanming was caught scolding them, they did not reply, but spread bad words about them behind their backs.

Qi Yuanming has a straightforward personality and doesn't like to stab people in the dark. Whenever he hears any rumors, he rushes directly to quarrel with them.

 Sometimes in front of everyone, Qi Yuanming would question them without giving any face, which made Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen feel that they had been humiliated and held a grudge.

 They were already jealous that Jing Shirong and Qi Yuanming had good backgrounds.

 In addition, the emperor clearly used them, but actually assigned many important tasks to Qi Yuanming and Jing Shirong, so they also had a grudge against Qi Yuanming and Jing Shirong.

Especially because the emperor intended to keep the distance between these four people, it would be better if there was a gap between them.

 So the emperor made the four of them become enemies every time, intentionally or unintentionally.

 Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen were both promoted from the bottom. They were particularly afraid of losing their current glory and wealth, so they openly and secretly competed with Qi Yuanming and others for favor.

 They were very good at reading the emperor's face, and they would also give him eye drops and tell him how he was doing.

 The emperor was very shrewd and felt happy when he saw that they were at odds.

 He was always paying attention to the movements of the four of them in the dark.

 Won't let them go too far, and won't let them resolve their misunderstanding. I wish the four of them would hate each other.

 Among the four, only Jing Shirong was awake.

He knew that these were the emperor's ulterior motives, so he didn't really care if his credit was taken away from him. He was just dissatisfied with the emperor's scheming.

But he was still working under the emperor, and his parents and brothers were also in the capital, so he could tolerate it as long as he could. He didn't care about his merits or anything else, as long as the emperor didn't go too far.

 Only Qi Yuanming was angry.

  After all, they were the ones doing the hard work and suffering. Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen just went to finish the work and took away all the credit. No one would be happy if it were otherwise.

Especially since mining was so dangerous this time, the group almost lost their lives.

They managed such a big errand, but the credit fell on Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen. Not to mention Qi Yuanming, Sister Yang and the others were also very angry.

"Is the Emperor too old and confused? Isn't this partiality too much?"

The finishing work this time was basically done by the Third Princess and Young Master Zhong. How could the credit fall to Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen?

Qi Yuanming was very angry, "That's right. Your Majesty has really gone too far!"

 This time he was really unhappy.

 Such a big matter was handed over directly to Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen without even discussing it with them. Who would be willing to do it for him next time?

“Furthermore, His Majesty didn’t even care about A Jing’s poisoning. He only asked them to return to Beijing quickly. It’s really too cold.”

 They have been running errands for the emperor for so many years, and there is always a risk.

The emperor showed no concern at all and just asked them to return to Beijing quickly without delaying their trip. Qi Yuanming was unhappy to hear this. Sister Ying was not happy either and snorted, "He asked us to go back quickly, but we didn't!"

Then don’t Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen like to grab credit? Then go back slowly and let them take care of anything.

Qi Yuanming also thought the same, "Yes. Let's do it."

Since they haven’t had a vacation for a long time, they can go back slowly and do as they like.

Jing Shirong understood what was going on at the side and remained silent. Apparently he didn't like the emperor's behavior either.

 You can let them do things secretly, or you can not let them come forward.

 But he was not happy about giving the credit to two villains so lightly.

Qi Yuanming saw that his face was not good, so he went to give him eye drops.

“I asked the spy to check, and it’s likely that the ones who poisoned you are Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen. Let them look good when you get back! Don’t be soft-hearted this time.”

In the past, Jing Shirong didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't want to fight with Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen.

The poisoning this time is so serious, we must give them some color.

 They in the province thought they were soft persimmons.

Jing Shirong asked him, "Is the matter confirmed? Is it the two of them who did it?"

Qi Yuanming shook his head, "Not sure yet. But it's Zhao Jie and Zhou Chuwen who don't like us. Who are they?"

Jing Shirong's black eyes narrowed slightly, and his breath was dangerous, "That's not necessarily true."

 “Let’s talk about it when we go back.”

Qi Yuanming sighed, "Okay, let's go back first. But do I need to reply to His Majesty first?"

Jing Shirong raised his eyes and looked at him, "Aren't you angry with the emperor? Then why should you reply?"

Qi Yuanming muttered, "There is no way, who calls him our boss?"

 Besides, my parents and relatives are all in the capital.

Jing Shirong said, "No need to reply. Just pretend that we can't contact Fei Ying."

Since the emperor treats them so favorably, why should he be too loyal?

Qi Yuanming's eyes lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"

 Before, he was worried about his parents being in the capital and under the eyes of the emperor, so he would be a little worried to give the emperor face.

 But now.

 Since the emperor is so partial, he should not be so loyal.

 Let's play outside for a while and then go back slowly.

Jing Shirong looked into the distance and said coldly, "Don't tell anyone about your return. Then quietly enter Beijing."

 Since someone is harming him, there must be a plan secretly.

 At that time, they secretly return to Beijing and conduct a secret investigation, but they can find some clues.

Qi Yuanming exclaimed, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? A Jing, you are so smart."

 It seems that intelligence is engraved in the bones, even if one loses his memory.

Jing Shirong ignored his compliment and asked him, "Did you send a message back to Beijing about my poisoning?"

Qi Yuanming nodded, "It was sent back. The emperor must have seen it, but others don't know."

Jing Shirong asked, "How long has it been since the eagle flew back?"

If it takes too long, someone might have intercepted you.

Qi Yuanming nodded, "It did take a long time. Maybe the news of your poisoning was leaked."
