At the door of the study, stood two peak-level guards with sharp eyes. Even though they knew Ning Qi's identity, they still checked Ning Qi routinely to see if he was carrying a murder weapon before letting Ning Qi in. In the study room, Qin Zheng was sitting on the dragon chair, writing something with his head down. When he saw Ning Qi coming in, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Ning Qi?"

Ning Qi half-knelt and said: "Chen Ningqi, I have seen the emperor."

He is also a county baron, and he has not surpassed the emperor's appointment as a minister.
