Ruan Jiqing, standing nearby, wore a full smile. "Marquis Shen must take care of his health! His Majesty has said that if the bones are truly found in this valley as you claimed, then you will have rendered a great service, and His Majesty will reward you handsomely."
His tone carried more than a hint of envy. He knew exactly what rewards Qi Junmu had prepared—and they were treasures.
