Chapter 705: Forcing

However, those people didn’t leave.
They remained standing in front of King Jing Zhen’s palace gate.
Some elderly ministers even knelt there. “Your Majesty, a day and a night have passed and there is still no good news. Please don’t hold any more hope! You should face reality!”
Jing Zhou had them all driven out.
But the expelled ministers didn’t leave. They stood at the gate and continued to shout, “Your Majesty, we are doing this for the future of Country A. You can’t treat us like this… If you do not confirm an heir today, we will kneel here and not stand!”
Country A was located in a tropical region, and the sun outside was very harsh.
Hence, as these ministers dressed rather conservatively, standing outside like this was extremely hot for them.
Soon, they were all sweating profusely.
Jing Zhen paced back and forth in the palace, his dark peach blossom eyes showing a serious look for the first time.
(Jingjing… could something really happen to her?)
He had heard of Huyi Island, and although it was dangerous when the ministers mentioned it, he thought that if Jingjing could win the championship under such dangerous circumstances, then those old guys could no longer question her because she was a girl.
After all, Jingjing is 518, the person with the highest combat power in the world.
So he also had the mentality of taking a gamble at the time.
But now, had he lost?
As Jing Zhen paced back and forth, Shen Qianhui rushed over. And when she entered the door, Jing Zhen instinctively wanted to comfort her. “Don’t worry, Jingjing and the others… just can t be found for now. It’s not certain yet, so…”
Before he could finish, Shen Qianhui already interrupted him, “What’s not certain? Our daughter will definitely be fine.”
Jing Zhen was slightly stunned.
Shen Qianhui laughed. “Husband, you have to believe in our daughter. She’s not an ordinary person! She is Shen Ruojing! The former Anonymous, Qingdai, the divine doctor, Prof. Z, and that 518, so how could something happen to her?”
Jing Zhen opened and closed his mouth.
Actually, he knew some of the things that Shen Ruojing had learned since childhood.
Although he might not know everything, he had helped her find many teachers in secret.
He naturally would care about his daughter.
But even so, he didn’t have such blind confidence in her.
Hence, as he didn’t expect his wife to worship their daughter like a goddess, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
His wife probably hadn’t seen very impressive people, but he had heard of them.
Just twenty years ago, there were two extraordinary individuals. One of them was Su Nanqing, who was as versatile as their daughter. It was said at that time that her genes might have been modified.,,
Even so, this miraculous existence ended up with a health problem, and she had to sleep for a long time to replenish her energy.
Being too intelligent could harm the body.
It was really hard to find someone like their daughter who was both strong and intelligent.
In ancient times, there was a saying to describe such geniuses. They often died young.„
He had always been afraid that his daughter was too outstanding, so now when something happened, he became even more flustered.
On the other hand, his wife, who hadn’t heard of these extraordinary people, thought their daughter was the best in the world…
Jing Zhen was silent for a moment, but he didn’t argue. He just pursed his lips and then nodded. “Okay, let’s wait together for our daughter to come home.”
The two held hands and sat directly on the chairs.
The moment Jing Zhen held Shen Qianhui’s hand, he noticed the sweat in his wife’s palm. He immediately understood that his wife was not really calm; she was just pretending to be…
The heart of a parent was truly pitiful…
As Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui sat quietly, the ministers outside were suffering.
Some of the older ministers sweated profusely. Their sweat rolled down, wetting their clothes, their cheeks flushed. After a while, one of the oldest ministers couldn’t stand the high temperature and passed out.
This caused a great commotion.
Jing Zhen couldn’t just watch this old minister die, so he called a doctor to treat him.
When the old minister woke up, he grabbed Jing Zhen’s arm. ‘Your Majesty, I am not a follower of any faction. My heart belongs entirely to Country A. I don’t like Jing Yi either, he’s too petty. But since all the other royal family members have been killed by the Queen Dowager, he is the only one left. If not him, there’s no one else!”
The old minister took a deep breath. “Your Majesty, do you know? Before the old king’s death, the Queen Dowager had already taken control of the palace, but there were still many royal relatives trying to vie for the position, causing constant rebellion. At that time, the military was in disarray, and many people died! Do you want to see Country A go through such a chaotic era again?
“In our Country A, women have low status, and technology has been stagnant for many years, partly due to the chaos of war. I am doing this for Country A! Your Majesty, you can’t be confused!1’
After the old minister finished speaking, he began to cry.
Jing Zhen sighed.
The reason he took care of this old minister was because he knew that his heart was for the country…
Just as he was about to say something, the old minister suddenly drew a pistol from a bodyguard next to him and pointed it at his own temple.. “Your Majesty, if you don’t make up your mind, I will die in front of you!”
