Hearing this, everyone behind him changed their expressions in an instant.

Qin Kui suddenly felt funny in his heart. He had been calling him spineless, evil, and power-hungry before. Ha!

Qin Kui knew exactly what these people were thinking and what they wanted him to say, but he pretended not to understand anything. He turned around and said expressionlessly, "I came here to report to Your Majesty on the Ministry of Works and to listen to His Majesty's will. I naturally know what to say."

Obviously, this is totally irrelevant.

After saying that, he went straight into the hall with Ma Sanbao, leaving behind the resentful gazes that were as sharp as knives.

After a moment, the scolding started again:

"A villain! A villain who abuses his power!"

"How could our Great Ming Dynasty have such an inability to distinguish right from wrong? This is truly a great misfortune for the Great Ming!"

"When the Taizu Hongwu Emperor was still around, who would have dared to jump like this? He's just taking advantage of Your Majesty's youth and soft-heartedness! This traitor's intentions are now exposed!"

"This bastard! He's currying favor with His Majesty and getting some benefits and prestige now, but does he think he can always have these benefits and prestige? He's so short-sighted!"

"Cunning, stupid... no one can match him!"

"..."

Everyone tried to persuade Qin Kui but to no avail. Instead, Qin Kui ignored them and his temper, which had been filled with resentment for a long time, instantly flared up again, and each curse became more fierce and violent than the last.

And at the same time.

Qin Kui walked inside the Qianqing Palace, listening to the cursing fading behind him. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and shook his head indifferently: "Cunning? Stupid? We'll know who's stupid when the time comes."

"Sir Qin, there is a noise outside. His Majesty is in the back hall right now." Seeing that Qin Kui was confused when he saw that there was no one behind the dragon desk, Ma Sanbao reminded him.

"Okay, thank you for leading the way."

Qin Kui said to Ma Sanbao politely, but in his heart he found it even more amusing: "What about kneeling and remonstrating... His Majesty didn't even bother to look at it, and just went to hide away, haha!"

Ma Sanbao took Qin Kui through the front hall and the middle hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Walk all the way to the back hall.

The noise in the square outside was getting smaller and smaller... until it disappeared. His ears suddenly became very quiet. Even the air was filled with a bit of loneliness at the end of winter, which made Qin Kui feel uncomfortable.

In the courtyard of the rear hall, there is an area of ​​medium size, surrounded by translucent silk cloth. Through the silk cloth, you can vaguely see the charcoal basin inside and the green vines crawling all over the ground, which looks full of vitality.

"They're the same vines as those in the Imperial Garden. I wonder what secrets are hidden here?"

Qin Kui pondered with some curiosity.

Everyone said that Zhu Yunhuan destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's vegetable garden and planted these useless vines, which was a great act of treason, but Qin Kui did not think so.

But this was something he had never seen before, so naturally he couldn't think of anything.

Qin Kui was secretly curious in his heart.

He always maintained a humble look on his face and followed Ma Sanbao across the fields and into the rear hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan was sitting on a soft couch in the back hall, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea in his hand. Even though many ministers were kneeling outside to make desperate appeals, his young and handsome face still showed a calm and composed look.

"Your Majesty, I am Qin Kui, your humble servant, here to pay my respects to you!" Qin Kui bowed and saluted.

"You must have been scolded badly." Zhu Yunhuan raised his hand slightly, looking quite relaxed, and even teased Qin Kui in vain.

Qin Kui immediately said solemnly: "I know nothing else but to be loyal to Your Majesty."

"Okay, I won't say any more of this."

"What brings you to me?" Zhu Yunhuan asked directly.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Kui reached into his sleeve pocket and took out a small wooden box.

Zhu Yunhuan became interested as soon as he saw it.

Although Qin Kui always liked to guess his thoughts wrongly and flatter the wrong people at the beginning, after suffering a few losses, he became more clever and sensible, and knew what Zhu Yunhuan wanted better.
