Wei Shuge lowered her voice and said, "I overheard someone from Jiangbei say that the imperial government had dispatched troops a few days ago to train the navy. I don't know if that's true or not!"

"Water master?" Zhao Jing frowned and turned to look at Zhao Yuannan. "I don't remember this edict!" "If there's really a need to train a water master, Cobb and the rest of the troops will definitely go through the motions. Even if the East is still unclear, they will still ask us to put an Imperial Jade Seal on and ensure that this is the case."

If there was no imperial edict, it would be a crime to train the navy!

Wei Shuge was also a little puzzled. "This matter concerns Jiangbei, so I remembered this line. "Because I was in a hurry to get back to the palace, so I didn't investigate closely. Now that I think about it, shouldn't I scout it out?"

Zhao Jing stood up with his hands behind his back. "The military doesn't have that much guts. Even Ke Bo Ling doesn't know how to march and fight, let alone train a water master!" The only weak point of the strong soldiers of the Grand Xia is that there are no powerful navy masters attacking us from the east! "

"If it's true, could it be that Dongfang Wenming is the real culprit?" Zhao Yuannan asked.

Zhao Jing sneered. "If it's really him, then it's the heavens helping me!"

Zhao Jing both hoped that the one behind the navy was not Dongfang Wenming, but also hoped that it wasn't him. As for why she didn't want to, she felt that it was because she was afraid! If he forced Dongfang Cunming into a corner, who knew what he would do.

She didn't think too much about it.

In the imperial garden.

Ling Yin was amused by Wei Shuge as she laughed heartily. Zhao Jing stood on the fake mountain and watched the laughing scene below. However, he was unable to laugh at all. She really did love this child. She immediately turned around to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. However, when she raised her head, Dongfang Wenming was standing behind her, causing her to retreat half a step in fright.

"Be careful!" Dongfang Wenming quickly pulled her back.

With a sudden tug, she was completely unable to react, forcefully falling into his embrace. The man's chest was so hard that it hurt when he put his arm around her. A thought suddenly popped into her mind. This man was as hard as iron, yet he didn't have the slightest bit of gentleness in his heart. It was likely that no woman would like him!

He was waiting for Zhao Jing to realize his current status and position. Suddenly, his face turned completely red!

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Wenming quickly asked, "Did your subject injure the emperor?"

Zhao Jing hurriedly shook his head. For a moment, he didn't know where to look. "No. It was all thanks to Father Zhong's help. Otherwise, I would have fallen." He was too busy talking that he forgot to come out from his arms.

The two of them embraced each other as they spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

In the end, Dongfang Wenming slowly stepped back, bowed, and said, "This humble subject has offended you, your majesty, please forgive me!"

"No worries!" She had also returned to her previous calm demeanor, only wringing her sleeves with her fingertips in her sleeve. Zhao Jing turned around and slowly walked towards the pavilion. "It has been a long time since Father Zhong has come to the palace to see me. I thought that Father Zhong had already left the capital!"

A glimmer flashed in Dongfang Wenyi's eyes, and he calmly followed her. "It is this humble official's fortune to have gotten the emperor's concern. However, in the past few days, this humble subject had suffered from an illness in the palace and was unable to report to the emperor.

Zhao Jing sat down and looked at him with a smile. "Since it's an old ailment, then Father Zhong should have informed me earlier. I can also have the imperial physician head to the Prince's estate to treat Father Zhong's illness." Father Zhong was a vassal of a country, so he mustn't let anything happen to him! My Da Xia Empire still relies on Father Zhong! "

"Sit!" Zhao Jing smiled.

"This subject thanks the lord for his grace!" Dongfang Wenming sat down. "Has the emperor been well?"

"I don't mind, but …" She looked at the foot of the fake mountain with a worried expression.

"This humble one has already heard about the princess. Today, the commoners in the capital are all discussing this matter. The commoners have their own complaints about the empress injuring the little princess. " Dongfang Wenming sighed. "The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, but …"

Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes, a look of displeasure on his face. "Zhen knows that she's the empress, so what if I punish her by imprisoning her?" Behind her is the Qi Family, the Imperial Tutor, and the Prime Minister. However, Father Zhong will not go against the Qi Family for Ling Yin. This debt, I can only bear in mind by myself! "

Dongfang Wenming sighed. "It's just that the harem often involves the previous dynasty, so you can't do as you please!" Since the empress's matter has already affected the Taifu Residence, it can be considered as the biggest punishment! "

Zhao Jing nodded and unhappily curled his lips. "What a pity, Ling Yin. Such a pair of beautiful eyes." The imperial physician had said that she had to cover her eyes when she went out in the future. She couldn't bear the light nor the wind! "If it was me who was blind, I would rather die!"

Dongfang Wenming sternly said, "Bastard!"

Perhaps it was because he realized that he had been too anxious, but the moment they looked at each other, Dong Fang didn't restrain his tone, and his brows relaxed, regaining their initial slowness, "This subject has offended the emperor, I beg your forgiveness, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Jing suddenly smiled, a glimmer of light dancing in his eyes. "Father Zhong …" "Are you afraid that I'll die?"

"The Emperor is the ruler of a dynasty, he is the ruler of the world. How can he talk about life and death? You can never say that again. " Dongfang Wenming stood up, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"I do not need to live long. As long as I am able to be the same age as Father Zhong!" She smiled charmingly, her eyes curved like the moon, brimming with youth.

He looked at her, and she laughed very happily. It was as warm as the sun in the third month, and her eyes were filled with the morning glow. It was like a spring breeze blowing across a ten mile stretch of land. Dongfang Wenming smirked, he didn't know what that meant.

She didn't know what he was laughing at, whether he was laughing at her stupidity or her purity, but as long as he didn't know what she was thinking, she felt that she had won.

Dongfang Wenming said, "During the drought in Jiangbei, the Imperial Tutor and the Prime Minister took part in the disaster relief. Does the emperor not want to say anything?"

"I have long known about this!" Zhao Jing said, "But the commoners don't have enough to eat. Isn't it normal to open a treasury? The Imperial Tutor and the Prime Minister have already been decided, and I naturally have no reason to interfere! "

"However, everyone in the world will know that the Emperor ignored the imperial government and allowed the Imperial Tutor and the Prime Minister to rule as they pleased. Relief for the victims would make the citizens praise the Qi family even more. As a result … It's all thanks to the Lord! " Dongfang Mingming stared at her.

Zhao Jing's heart tightened. He subconsciously tightened his sleeve. "Then …" So what? They are my subjects, and they have followed my orders to go to the rescue. Could it be that the common people are blind and deaf? Don't they know that I am the true lord of the world? To be grateful to an official, where should he place me? If it wasn't for my decree, who would dare to open the national treasury? Who has the ability to help the people? Could it be that all the good things that I have done have finally turned into the credit of the Qi family? "I don't agree!"

Dongfang Wenming smiled with an unknown meaning. "So what if the emperor doesn't agree? The envoy of the Imperial Court is from the Imperial Tutor. The convoy escorting the food has already set off and will arrive in Jiangbei soon. "

Zhao Jing suddenly stood up. "We've already set off?" I don't know. "

"The fleet is already on the way." Dongfang Wenming sighed. "Does the emperor want to block it?"

"Can you stop it?" Zhao Jing blinked his bright eyes and asked timidly.

Dongfang Wenming stared at her without blinking, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Jing was also staring at him with a face full of bewilderment and bewilderment.

Two people with two different thoughts.

One was to test her true intentions and see if she had secretly spent time with the Qi family.

One of them knew that it was a test, yet he was intentionally putting on an act to counter the other's moves!

No one could tell what was on their mind!

Dongfang Wenming sighed, "Since the fleet has already set out, we can't stop them, nor can we! This blockade is equivalent to giving an excuse to the people of this world and to bringing a scolding upon yourself. "

Zhao Jing nodded, as if he understood something. He looked to the east, as if he were a child who had made a mistake. He said dejectedly, "I've been engrossed in chess these past few days. It was all thanks to Qi Yunshan that I made this trip to the Xi Wu Palace. I … I had a playful thought and made a bet with the empress. If she can defeat us, we will stay at the Perched Parasol Palace. If she loses, we will ignore her. Who would have known … We still lost! "

Dongfang Wenming smiled helplessly. "Your majesty is going to use chess to gamble in bed?"

Zhao Jing pursed his lips. "Yes!"

"No wonder chess has become so popular in the capital recently. The old and the young, men and women, they're all playing chess here and there." Dongfang Wenyi scoffed. "Your majesty really has great ability. A game of chess will serve you in one night. Next time, we should play chess and build a city!"

"No, no, no, I don't dare!" Zhao Jing hastily shook his head. "I was just having fun. I was too much fun!"

"A little?" Dongfang Wenming raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Jing's head drooped. "This Emperor knows his wrongs …"

"This subject has long told His Majesty that there are some things that the emperor cannot touch. If others were to know, …" I'm afraid even this official will not be able to protect you! " Dongfang Wenyi spoke with a profound tone, "This subject will not take Your Majesty's life as a joke, but the descendants of tigers and wolves might not be so!"

"I know." Zhao Jing pursed his lips. "Next time, I won't dare."

"Since Your Majesty likes to play chess, you can always have someone come out of the palace to look for this humble subject. This humble subject is willing to play chess with Your Majesty!"

"Really?" Zhao Jing was overjoyed.

"Seriously!" He nodded.

Zhao Jing had not expected that Dongfang Wenming was a martial general, but he was also a profound chess master. He was even better than the honored tutor, Qi Yunshan. His chess skills could almost be described as superb.

In the past, grand-teacher's chess skills were very high, so he might not have been able to win against Dongfang Wenming!

"Does the emperor know why he lost?" Dongfang Wenming asked.

Zhao Jing shook his head, pinching the pawn as he looked at him.

He raised his eyelids and said lightly, "I think too much!"

As his voice fell, Zhao Jing gripped the chess piece in his hand tightly. He lowered his eyes in shame. "I was overthinking things and overthinking things!" I will remember Father Zhong's words and play chess properly! "

"Chess is like life, the Emperor's chess …" He paused.

Zhao Jing's heart thumped wildly. "How is it?"

A chess piece had appeared in the east, "It seems to have no rules, but …" He smiled a little apathetically. "How did the emperor do it? He clearly spied on the other party's methods, so it's not like he lost too painstakingly."

"Is that so?" Zhao Jingtao was hesitant. "I wish I could do as Father Zhong says, but unfortunately …" We lost again! "

"Sometimes losing isn't necessarily a bad thing!" Dongfang Wenming stood up, "It's getting late, this humble subject should go back!"

"Now?" Zhao Jing asked.

Dongfang Wenming smiled. Without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and turned around.

Waiting for Dongfang Wenming to leave, Zhao YuanNan and Wei Shuge quickly entered the restaurant.

"Your majesty?" Wei Shuge paused for a moment. "The Regent entered the palace to accompany you this time. He's been there for quite some time. Is he plotting something?"

"The imperial government has opened a treasury for disaster relief. He came to investigate if I had colluded with the Imperial Tutor in private? Is he working with Prime Minister Kobayashi? " Zhao Jing slowly withdrew the chess piece.

Zhao Yuannan was shocked, "He poked it out?"

"I know he's probing. How could I let him discover any clues? It's just …" Zhao Jing gripped the chess piece in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"But what?" Wei Shuge asked hurriedly.
