The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant-Chapter 778: The Waiter’s Merit? A Convenient Catch

The Emperor Chu ordered someone to escort the young prince back to the mansion, and appointed two Imperial Physicians to follow him. Then, he looked at Prince Xin and said, "If you are still worried, feel free to return to the mansion to check on him."

How would Prince Xin dare to leave? His wife had just uttered some ambiguous remarks, who knows what kind of grudge the Emperor might hold now.

Now that his precious grandson was safe, it would be foolish to follow them back and stand guard there.

Prince Xin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this assassination attempt was a conspiracy. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate and restore peace to Great Qing."

Several members of the imperial family died in this assassination; even a fool would know who the target was.

The Emperor Chu helped him up and said, "Rest assured, I shall ensure that all demons and monsters are eliminated, leaving no place to escape."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prince Xin stood up and bowed to Song Ci, saying, "This old man thanks the Grand Madam for saving my grandson, and thanks Young Master Song."

Song Ci waved her hand, "We are all grandparents here; we can’t bear to see children suffer. Prince Xin, there’s no need for such gratitude, I just did what I could."

The tone, what excellent tea.

Prince Xin still bent down in a bow; regardless of anything, this favor must be remembered by the Prince Xin Mansion.

If Song Ci knew what he was thinking, she might jokingly say, human favors are not important, it would be better if that Iron Contract could be transferred to me.

After Prince Xin expressed his gratitude, naturally, the Emperor would not be stingy with his praise. Looking at Song Ci, he said, "Once again, I troubled you."

Song Ci humbly said she dared not accept the praise and then praised the Emperor for loving his people as his own children, saying they merely learned from him.

Everyone: Such a master of flattery.

The Emperor Chu chuckled softly, not offering a reward to Song Ci, but everyone knew this reward was going to make people envy.

He only looked at the big boy, Song Lingzhao, and said, "Are you the second son of the Song Family?"

"Huh?" Song Lingzhao awkwardly responded and pointed at himself, "You mean me?"

Song Zhicheng had already rushed up, just in time to see the young lad assisting Song Ci in rescuing people. He dared not say anything before, but now it was all clear and the skies had cleared.

Seeing Song Lingzhao looking foolish, he immediately kicked him in the back of his knee and reprimanded, "Rascal, how dare you! What are you waiting for, hurry and apologize to the Emperor?"

He knelt down before the Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty, forgive my son’s rudeness before the throne."

The Emperor Chu saw him and smiled, "Rise, Runping, what crime does he have? Not only is he not guilty, but he also has merit."

At the call of Runping, Song Zhicheng was a bit excited; the Emperor still remembered his courtesy name.

Everyone felt a little envious; the Emperor was familiar with the Song Family and engaged with them quite intimately, addressing them by their courtesy names.

Song Zhicheng bowed in gratitude and helped his son up.

Song Lingzhao: "..."

I didn’t want to kneel, you forced me to, and just when my knees were not even sore, you pull me up. Kneeling for fun?

The Emperor Chu looked at Song Lingzhao, his gaze warm, and said, "I said you have merit, merit ought to be rewarded. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Song Lingzhao once again awkawkwardly replied and scratched his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I don’t know what merit I have?"

"Saving a life is a merit in itself. Not to mention, you pulled the young prince of Prince Xin Mansion out of the water, that is a merit, and after reaching the shore, you saved him again, which is a second merit," the Emperor Chu smiled and said, "Moreover, you grabbed the flag for the dragon boat race."

"That’s a merit too, I just saved him along the way, seeing him floating in the water, so I pulled him out," Song Lingzhao responded naively.

Along the way, saved...

This information is quite overwhelming.

Prince Xin felt an inexplicable stab in his heart, but still, the old man was thankful for your incidental aid!
