"Many thanks for the emperor's concern. Chenqie has suffered a lot of cold in the past few days, so …"

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Jing had already waved his hands with an impatient expression on his face. "Then, even more so, you can't let the little princess stay here. Otherwise, you'll be infected by your illness!" "Make the arrangements and send Rui Yu and the little princess to Chu Yun Pavilion immediately!"

After speaking, Zhao Jing turned and left.

"Your majesty?" Qi Ruyu was filled with tears. "Your majesty?"

Zhao Jing didn't stop and left the Xi Wu Palace without looking back. Zhao Jing couldn't hear the mournful wails coming from behind him, but … Now he was so ruthless that it would make the harem more lively in the future. As long as the empress wasn't favoured, no matter what kind of woman was sent to the palace in the future, they could still cause a ruckus! Furthermore, it was not as if each person was the sole ruler of the group. They could be in a balance with each other!

"This servant thanks the empress!" Jane Xi hugged her child and tremblingly bowed.

"Scram!" Qi Ruyu's voice was stern and her eyes were scarlet. Because of that bandit chaos, she had lost everything despite being the Empress. Qi Ruyu looked at the child in Jian Xi's arms in disgust. Her body was trembling, and the hatred in her eyes was clearly visible on her face.

Jane Xi hugged her child and rolled out of the Xi Wu Palace without stopping. From today onwards, she would no longer be Qi Ruyu's servant, but the master of Chu Yun Pavilion. She gave birth to the first princess for the Emperor — Jane!

However, this princess had already landed on the ground eight months later. It was hard for others not to be suspicious of her …

It was a good thing that the palace had an extra child. Zhao Jing would ask Jane Xi to bring the child to the Qian Yuan Palace from time to time. When the sounds of laughter and cheers reached the palace, Qi Ruyu would fly into a rage. But what could she do? The Emperor didn't even want to touch her, so what else could she do? He had personally given Jane Xi away, but now he could only watch on helplessly as they loved each other, as if they were a family of three that were intimately close to each other.

When Princess Ling Yin was one year old, Jane Xi had been listed as a concubine.

Other than Qi Ruyu, the harem revered Jane Xi, which also allowed Jane Xi to get rid of the title of master and servant with Qi Ruyu.

The twelve-year-old Zhao Jing was much taller than he had been two years ago. His eyebrows and eyes had also grown longer.

Her mother, Liu Peiyu, was a foreign woman. Therefore, Zhao Jing's facial features had become increasingly profound. He was wearing a set of dragon robes with a hint of exotic charm. He also had the refined temperament of someone from the Central Plains. He was an exceptionally handsome young monarch!

In the past two years, she had read a lot. She had flipped through almost all the books in Han Lin's courtyard, and it was as if she had been reborn. The freedom that cannot be obtained, the imprisoned body, needs to fill the soul!

"Your majesty!" Zhao Yuannan entered the door with a smile on his face that was hard to conceal, "In the drought in North River, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Tutor are discussing with the officials on how to deal with it. This servant has already ordered people to keep an eye out for him. If there is any movement, we will immediately report it! "

Zhao Jing was expressionless. "Pay attention to what's happening in the Regent's Manor!"

"These days, the rumors outside have mostly spread. The emperor is nearing the age of a dance, and is no longer the young emperor of the past. Zhao Yuannan lowered his voice and said, "If the emperor can do some more meritorious deeds, it will be a big success!"

"Don't be happy too early!" Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "It's easy to be sad when you're happy …"

As the pain struck, Zhao Jing clenched his fists tightly. "You may leave first. I will think about the matters of Jiangbei carefully!"

"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan nodded and looked at her with a slightly worried expression. "Is His Majesty not feeling well?" Why has his face become even paler these two days? How about we invite the imperial physician over? "

Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "It doesn't matter if I come or not. I know my own body very well!"

Zhao Yuannan nodded, "This servant will take his leave!"

Closing the door to his sleeping quarters, Zhao Jing coughed softly. The pain from his lower left shoulder began to worsen again. With regards to her own illness, she only dared to tell Wei Shuge and tried her best to keep it a secret from Zhao Yuannan.

Why didn't he dare find an imperial physician?

Two years ago, she had brought the imperial physician to the Residence of Regent. Dongfang Wenming had not resisted Cui Nanshan's treatment, and Cui Nanshan had also helped him to lie. Zhao Jing knew that Cui Nanshan was a person who did not know. As long as there was anything wrong with his body, the grand hospital would immediately relay the news to the Regent's Mansion. She did not know what medicine Dongfang Wenming had been giving her all these years, but she knew very well that she could not give up on that medicine.

Tired from the pain, Zhao Jing sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the bedpost with his eyelids lowered! He was covered in cold sweat, and his hands and feet were ice-cold. She curled up into a ball and wrapped herself in the blanket.

The room was warm as spring, but she was shivering with cold.

When Dongfang Wenming came in, he walked over to the bed as usual, "Does it hurt so much?"

Zhao Jingben wanted to pretend as if nothing had happened, but this time was different. Pain, a heart-wrenching pain. She didn't even have the strength to speak. Her lips were trembling as she tightly held onto her heart that was in pain. She was shaking so hard that she was as stiff as a statue.

He quickly hugged her in his arms and forcefully opened up her tightly clenched fists so that she wouldn't pinch him. Her hands had always been cold like this. It was like she was in an icehouse; she was so cold that there was not even the slightest bit of warmth.

"It's fine!" Dongfang Wenming hugged her tightly. He used the blanket to tightly wrap her in his embrace, "Just hug me tightly when the cold comes!"

"Zhong, Zhongda …" Her teeth were chattering loudly, "I … I'm cold …" It was as if the blood in her entire body was about to freeze over. It was cold to the point that her face turned pale white and her lips turned purple.

Dongfang Wenming coldly shouted, "Someone, bring Cui Nanshan over! "Faster!"

Outside, Zhou Zhizi was running away. Wei Shuge quickly opened the door. Seeing that Dongfang Wenming was still holding onto Zhao Jing tightly, Zhao Jing's face paled. He inwardly shouted, "Not good!" Then, he strode over to Zhao Jing. "Your majesty?"

"Get out!" Dongfang did not say anything. Inexplicably, he took a deep breath and the powerful force in his sleeve pounced towards Wei Shuge.

Wei Shuge was caught off guard and was flipped over in the blink of an eye, crashing into a pillar at the side. The blood in his throat was sweet, and the blood in his body was churning violently. She had only been paying attention to Zhao Jing and hadn't expected that his rage would be so great that he would suddenly attack.

"Scram!" Dongfang Wenming gritted his teeth.

It was rare for him to be angry, but Zhao Jing was getting colder and colder. When he hugged Zhao Jing, he could clearly feel that he was trembling.

Zhao Jing held on tightly to his chest. He was in so much pain that the veins on his neck bulged. It seemed that he was about to lose his breath. She stared at him, her eyes red and brimming with tears. The unwillingness and struggle were like needles that stabbed into his face, making him not dare to look straight at them.

At that moment, Dongfang Wenming's mind was filled with nothing but death!

"Cui Nanshan, get your ass in here right now!" Dongfang Wenming roared.

The people outside practically scrambled in. When he entered, Cui Nanshan nearly tripped on the doorstep and fell down like a dog eating mud. Luckily, Wei Shuge and Zhou Zhiqian reached out to help him!

"All of you, get out!" Dongfang Wenming's eyes widened in anger.

Zhou Zhizi hurriedly dragged Wei Shuge out of the hall and quickly closed the doors.

Zhao Jing's vision gradually turned pitch black, and the unheard voice from the east completely disappeared from her world. In the darkness, she floated and sank, still feeling cold. Mom, I don't want to die …

Dongfang Wenming grabbed Cui Nanshan's sleeve, "If anything happens to her, you know the consequences!"

Cui Nan Shan roared, "Let go!"

Dongfang Wenming gritted his teeth, "How is it?"

"I've already said this before. The medicinal properties of the second stage are much stronger, so the amount of medicinal effects must be reduced. However, you're in a hurry to complete it." Now that she can't take it anymore, you're here to blame me? " Cui Nanshan groaned twice, stroking his own shirt, "Let me tell you, if you can't wait, then think of something else!"

Feeling that something was wrong with his mood, Dongfang Wenming didn't say anything else for a long time. He just looked at Zhao Jing, who was lying on the bed with a serious expression. She had long since lost consciousness. In her world, all that was left should be darkness and cold.

"You know how important she is to me!"

Cui Nanshan let out a long sigh, "Because I know, I let you relax a little. Those medicines are naturally poisonous, after passing the first stage, you might not be able to pass the second stage. "A woman's heart is cold. Feeding one place will never be able to separate it again."

After a pause, Cui Nanshan took out a silver needle, "I can only seal her eight extraordinary meridians so that she can catch her breath first. As for everything else … It all depended on whether or not her will to survive was strong enough, and it all depended on the luck of the heavens. The East doesn't understand. I know you have your reasons, but she is still a human life. She doesn't owe you anything! The only thing I owe you is this, three years … "Three years is too short, it's not enough …"

He looked up to the east and said, "I will do my best to let her live. One more day is one more day! "

Dongfang Wenming opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it.

Zhao Jing closed her eyes, her face as pale as paper. She was only a step away from death. And all of these were bestowed by him!

Regret?

No!

He didn't feel that he was wrong to have repaid his father's debt to his daughter. She was used to life and death on the battlefield, so how could she be moved by the sight of her own death? However, why would the thing in his chest still feel uncomfortable?

Zhao Jing …

In this dark world, Zhao Jing was like duckweed that didn't know where to land or where to go! Suddenly, she seemed to see light in front of her, as if …

Zhao Jing was wild with joy as he shouted, "Brother Yue?!"

When she woke up, she was on her own bed.

There was no Brother Yue, only the unidentified east, which was guarding the bed!

He watched as Zhao Jing woke up, brimming with joy. A brilliant light that he had never seen before blossomed in her enchanting eyes. She called out "Big Brother Yue" so excitedly that her words were clear and her emotions were burning. The emotions contained in the shout were clear and sincere, as if they belonged to a young man.

Dongfang Wenming's face was cold.

The light in Zhao Jing's eyes gradually faded, leaving behind only a faint sense of disappointment and loneliness. She looked around. Cui Nanshan was packing the medicine box. She reckoned that he had saved her! She remembered that before she fell asleep, Dongfang Wenming had screamed angrily, but she could clearly feel that it wasn't because she was worried, it was because she was afraid that she would die!

Her value had not yet been fully utilized, and he was naturally reluctant to see her die.

Thinking up to this point, Zhao Jing tried his best to prop himself up. "Father Zhong, just now, I …" "What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice, trying to find some clues on his face, but it failed.

He was always so remote that no one could tell what he was thinking.

"I'm fine!" Dongfang Wenming watched as Cui Nanshan left before shifting his gaze back to Zhao Jing. "Sleep well, I'm here!"

Zhao Jing obediently nodded her head. As long as there was an unknown area in the east, she would do her best to comply. The instant she took his hand, he jerked back to look at her.

She was smiling, her lips curving up into a beautiful arc. Her beautiful eyes slowly closed. "With Father Zhong here, I can always sleep in peace. It's great!"

Is it really okay?

It was almost as if he was doing it out of habit. He held her ice-cold hand and wrapped it around his own palm, looking at her sleeping face without restraint. Something rose from its original height and gradually fell back to its original position.

He did not know what this feeling was, but he knew very well what he was doing!

All the gentleness and gentleness was only used for one round!
