I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 706: Good King

Translator: Lordbluefire

After the old minister finished his statement, the other ministers also immediately knelt down. One by one, they looked at King Jing Zhen. “Your Majesty, please, for the sake of the nation, for the future, please agree to our request!”

Jing Zhen’s face fell. “My daughter is not dead yet!”

The old minister then exclaimed, “But it’s been a day and a night, and the search team only found some tattered clothes and broken guns where they landed… Isn’t this enough to prove it? There are many large beasts on Huyi Island, and we all know where the bodies have gone! Your Majesty, you must not deceive yourself!”

“Are you saying that if we can’t find the Princess’s body, Your Majesty will never appoint a crown prince? Then what about the future of the country?”

A country’s heir was to be nurtured from an early age. After Shen Ruojing was established as the Crown Princess, she should have stayed in the palace to learn how to handle national affairs.

However, Shen Ruojing had a special status, was rebellious, and was the only heir to the King, so everyone could only turn a blind eye. But now, since Shen Ruojing had an accident, the new heir should be determined and cultivated as soon as possible!

Jing Zhen was left speechless by the old minister.

He took a deep breath. “I said, my daughter is not in trouble!”

The old minister continued, “Your Majesty, you are so stubborn. It seems that only the old minister’s blood can wake you up!”

With that, he was about to pull the trigger!

But at this moment, Jing Zhen suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the old minister’s wrist, flicked it, so the bullet missed and hit the pillar next to it!

Ji Wuyou and the other guards immediately rushed up and grabbed the old minister’s arm. “Protect His Majesty!”

The old minister was immediately restrained and could no longer move.

Jing Zhen looked at him with a cold smile. “If you want to die, go home and die! I, as your King, am not someone you can manipulate at will. Also, I’ll say it again, my daughter is not dead!”

Jing Zhen was a martial artist, not a weak king.

The old minister, now restrained, burst into tears. “Your Majesty, I am devoted to the nation! If you continue not to believe the truth, I believe that apart from me, many people will not accept it!”

Jing Zhen looked at the other ministers.

Almost all the important ministers of the country were present.

Among them, some were scheming and had been bought by Prince Jing Yi, but many more were like this old minister, loyal to the king and the country.

Jing Zhen knew that he couldn’t be too cold-hearted and alienate them.

He said directly, “One week. I will give it another week. If the Princess is not found after one week, I will adopt a distant royal relative from the clan, okay?”

This was a concession from Jing Zhen.

However, the other ministers felt that a week was too long. After all, no one knew what would happen within this week, and the country without an heir would make people uneasy.

But the king had already made a concession, so they couldn’t push further.

The ministers could only obey and leave.

After sending them away, Jing Zhen looked at Shen Qianhui furiously. “Did you see that? My daughter is not dead yet, and they have already started to waver!”

Shen Qianhui sighed, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes. (That island is so big… Can they really find Jingjing in one week?)

Meanwhile.

Prince Jing Yi humbly saw off the ministers at the door, saying politely…

“His Majesty just lost his beloved daughter, and his mood must be bad. Dear uncles, please don’t take it to heart!”

“His Majesty appreciates everyone. His actions just now were only due to his impatience…”

“After all, His Majesty has lived in China for so many years. It’s natural that his thoughts are different from ours. After all, China does not have a feudal monarchy…”

Jing Yi was humble and polite, and his actions were measuredly polite.

The ministers nodded in approval.

At the same time, they began to reflect on the implications of Prince Jing Yi’s words.

Yes, His Majesty went to China when he was twenty and lived there for over twenty years. He spent more time in China than in Country A. So, did His Majesty truly consider Country A as his own country?

Did he not actually care about the future of Country A and only about whether his daughter could have everything in Country A?

Was such a king a good king?

Doubts began to emerge in the minds of the ministers.

Thinking about the Queen Dowager’s ruthless tactics, at this moment, they suddenly had doubts about Jing Zhen.

If Jing Zhen inherited the Queen Dowager’s ruthlessness, then their future days might not be easy!
