A scholar dies for a confidant.

Ma Sanbao's words obviously touched Zhuo Jing's heart.

Zhuo Jing's heart skipped a beat, and his face flushed slightly with excitement. He took a deep breath and said confidently, "I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for trusting me and serving as the Director of the Audit Bureau!"

"Your Majesty has devoted all his energy to this cause for the people of the world. Although what I can do is far less strenuous than your Majesty's, I will nevertheless devote myself to your Majesty and the people of the world! I will not allow your painstaking efforts to be stolen by others!"

"I understand what to do and how to do it."

Having said this, Zhuo Jing bent down again and kowtowed. When he stood up, his forehead was slightly red.

One is that the people of the world have received the emperor's grace, and the other is that he himself is deeply trusted.

He couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Ma Sanbao was also quite moved by Zhuo Jing's sincerity, and he felt more favorable and respectful towards this director of the Audit Bureau who was inexplicably promoted and entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Yunhuan.

He reached out and leaned over to help him up.

He said, "Master Zhuo, please stand up. The Ming Dynasty is fortunate to have a loyal minister like Master Zhuo. As long as Master Zhuo can keep this gate safe, it will be the greatest loyalty."

But even though he said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Your Majesty's gaze is so accurate, even in judging people. He truly has a supernatural ability!"

Supported by Ma Sanbao, Zhuo Jing stood up and said, "Eunuch Sanbao is too polite. Your Majesty's intention is my duty, and I will do my best to do it." He was still excited and his chest was heaving violently.

Ma Sanbao nodded slightly. Now that the matter was settled, he said slowly, "It's a good thing that your Excellency has this in mind. I'll take my leave now."

Zhuo Jing also sensed Ma Sanbao's implicit respect for him and became much more polite. He immediately extended his hand respectfully, "Eunuch, you still have to report to His Majesty. I can't keep you here. If you can spare some time from your busy schedule to sit down, I will serve you the best tea. Please."

"Your Excellency is kind." Ma Sanbao greeted with a smile, nodded, and left in a hurry.

……

After the two imperial edicts were delivered, Ma Sanbao naturally returned to the Qianqing Palace to report.

When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he didn't see Zhu Yunhuan in the front hall. Ma Sanbao was slightly startled, then smiled in relief and walked towards the backyard of the Qianqing Palace, thinking to himself, "His Majesty is not in the front hall, so this is the only place he can go."

However... when he reached the backyard of the Qianqing Palace, he was confused again: "Your Majesty... what are you doing??"

For nothing else.

Because this time, his master did not stand beside the vines and stare at them as he did in the past. Instead, he rolled up his long sleeves and trouser legs and held a hoe in his hand.

Of course, Ma Sanbao was only briefly stunned. He immediately reacted, his heart beating wildly: "That's right! His Majesty said that when the leaves turn yellow, it's time to harvest!"

Although he didn't know what was hidden under the vines, he had some guesses based on the occasional words his master revealed.

Not only that, over the past three months, he and his master had watched as this seedling, planted from a few rotten fruits and a few inconspicuous vines, grew leaf by leaf...

Now it is finally time to harvest.

Of course, Ma Sanbao was no less excited than Zhu Yunhuan.

Not to mention...those few ordinary vines and those broken fruits were what he found after going to the morning market day after day for nearly ten years.

Of course, he was extremely curious - what could he get out of this thing that he had spent so much effort on?

"Come and dig. I don't trust anyone else, I've already called them out."
