Zhang Enjie regarded the young Crown Prince Consort with an odd expression.
Minister Fang and the others outside the prison cell could no longer bear to witness this exchange. Strangely, they began to empathize with Zhang Enjie, despite his apparent obtuseness.
"The funerals for the eight members of the Zhang family," Minister Fang interjected hastily, "I've already reported the matter to His Majesty. His Majesty expressly wishes to ensure that the family receives a proper burial…"
"Very well, then the royal court will cover the funeral expenses." The stoic young lady continued in a casual tone, then turned to Zhang Enjie. "Upon completion, I'll grant you a ten-day leave. If you have nothing to do, feel free to return to work early."
"I'll provide Zhang Enjie with 500 spirit currency for these ten days of leave. The royal court will reimburse me for this expense."
Collective jaws dropped in disbelief…
Was she seriously this frugal?!
