Zhou Zhizhi swallowed his saliva. "After the Prime Minister left, the Emperor went to the imperial study and issued a decree. This time …" The entire capital is in an uproar! "
"Cobalt did not manage to catch Ben Wang's weakness from the navy, and it caused a flaw in the emperor's plan!" Dongfang Wenming rubbed his glabella, "Toss!"
"Since the Emperor is acting so recklessly, I'm afraid that the civil and military officials will have to place this debt on the head of our Regent's Mansion!" Zhou Zhizhi reminded, "Master, think of a way to remedy this!"
Dongfang Wenming seemed to have a headache. In his mind, he thought of that girl's clean face as he carefully studied the chess piece in his hand. His lips unconsciously formed a charming curve.
Instead of getting angry, he laughed in an abnormal way, which confused Zhou Zhiqian. Was this grandpa angered?
After throwing away the chess piece, Dongfang Wenming got up and walked out.
"Master, it's already night. Where are you going?" Zhou Zhiqian quickly caught up to him.
Without another word, Dongfang Wenming jumped onto his horse and headed in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The main door of the sleeping quarters was tightly shut. Zhao Jing had retreated from Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan, leaving them curled up on the imperial concubine's bed. No one could replace the pain in his chest. She knew why, but there was nothing she could do.
Wei Shuge had asked her friends in the martial arts world to investigate the secrets of the medicine. After so many years of failure, Zhao Jing knew that the medicine was not from the Central Plains. Master once said that there were many strange things happening in the Savage Land outside the borders, and there were many Witch Doctors …
As the pain came, he let out a soft groan.
Her master had taught her to hold her tightly when it hurt, so it wouldn't hurt so much. But she held herself so tightly, why did it hurt so much? It was as if countless little worms were continuously gnawing at her heart, or as if a thousand needles were piercing it. It was so painful that even her lips were bitten through. Blood seeped into her lips and teeth, filling her entire mouth. The salty taste caused her stomach to churn, making her want to vomit!
His ears buzzed, and his mind became increasingly blank. Due to the excruciating pain, she gradually lost her rationality, making it difficult for her to concentrate and think. The memories of old friends in his mind gradually faded away …
Abruptly, a pair of hands stretched out. It was still the arm that was so painful that it hurt, the iron like hard embrace.
Dongfang Wenming lowered his head and looked at her. The moment their eyes met, the girl's weakness and tears could clearly be seen. He sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged her, "If you feel pain, then hug me tight. No one will come in!"
She really did not think that he would enter the palace. These days, she had tried her best to hide her pain. She thought that he would not care about her, but unexpectedly, she was discovered by him.
The little girl was curled up in his broad embrace, only occupying that tiny bit of space. She seemed so weak and helpless. His arms were painfully hard and his chest was as hard as steel, but the faint aroma of the tea on his body gave her an inexplicable feeling of tranquility. At this moment, there were no heroic words or scheming, only the patient and the doctor.
One was wracked with heartache, while the other clung tightly to him, unwilling to let go.
"It hurts like hell," he said. That was what he said and what he did. Her warm fingers brushed the bruises on her lips, and she frowned at the swelling on her lips. Without any hesitation, he stuffed his hand into her mouth!
At first, Zhao Jing was startled, but then he ruthlessly bit down on it.
Compared to the other big and small wounds on his body, it was nothing. It was just that the little girl bit down so hard, which showed how much it hurt. It also let him know that there were some things he should not rush to do. In the end, she was still young. Just as Cui Nanshan had said, a woman should be cold and should not be in too much of a hurry!
"Does it hurt?" Her mouth was covered in blood as she raised her head to look at him. The seductive expression on her lips slightly stung his eyes.
Fortunately, her angina only broke out for two hours in the night. When he came, it was the worst part of her pain, but now the pain had been greatly reduced.
She became more and more unable to understand the emotions in his eyes, and blankly stared at his unchanging expression. The navy blue robe made his expression even more indifferent. His hand was still bleeding, but he acted as if he didn't hear it, as if he didn't feel the slightest bit of pain. He continued to hug her as he took out a handkerchief from his sleeves, neither fast nor slow, and earnestly wiped the dark red corner of her mouth.
"His Majesty is a ruler of the imperial palace. It wouldn't be a problem for the emperor to even take a bite out of him!" He frowned slightly. "Don't bite yourself next time!"
She bit too hard, and her lips swelled up! It was also because of this that her lips had become full. She raised her head and looked at him, her bright eyes overflowing with unconcealable tears. It was just like how, in the past three months, her peach blossoms had blossomed into pear-white flowers.
Zhao Jing slowly lowered his eyelids and weakly laid in his arms, no longer moving. Her clothes had long since been drenched in cold sweat. She was truly too tired.
His broad and thick palm slowly stroked her back, and Dong Fang Ming let out a sigh of relief, "If you let Gan Tang leave the palace when it hurts, this humble subject will immediately rush over! With someone accompanying you, loneliness and loneliness will not easily take advantage of it and will not hurt so much! "
He paused for a moment. No one knew who he was speaking to, but then he said, "The pain of being alone is the real pain!"
Zhao Jing blinked. Cold sweat slowly dripped down her long eyelashes, gradually blurring her vision. Her body was extremely cold, and she couldn't help but pull back her body and prop herself against his chest.
She knew very well that the only reason she had sent Gan Tang to find him when she had angina was to save her life for another use. Her life was still of value to Dongfang Wenming!
That was all!
Zhao Jing fell into a deep slumber, so much so that even when Gan Tang had put her in hot water and Dongfang Wenming had placed her in the bathtub, she had not been able to detect it. In his stupor, he felt something warm seep into his back and slowly enter his heart.
His cold body finally started to warm up! Her ears were buzzing. She could hear the vague sounds of the East and his soft sigh …
He opened his eyes and saw that it was the next morning.
Wei Shuge stood in front of the bed, her eyes fixed on Zhao Jing.
"The Regent left before dawn, and told everyone not to wake you up!" Wei Shuge carefully helped Zhao Jing sit up. "Why didn't you say that the emperor's body was unwell?" If something happens, what can you do? "
Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "Without avenging the great vengeance, the world will be peaceful. How would I dare to die?!"
Wei Shuge's nose was sour. "Your Majesty, don't say that. I don't feel good about it!"
Zhao Jing let out a long breath and stood in front of the mirror. His lip still had the marks of last night's teeth, but fortunately, the swelling had already disappeared.
Zhao Jing furrowed his brows and extended his finger in a mysterious manner. He imitated the unfathomable appearance of the East as he slowly wiped the bite marks on his lips. The feeling of her fingers gently caressing her lips was indescribably magical. Her fingers were slightly cold, unlike his warmth. Her fingers were soft and delicate to the touch, but his fingers were rough.
Zhao Jing withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes as he looked at himself in the mirror. A faint, cold smile slowly seeped out of his lips. All disguises were just a part of the contest. Whoever acknowledged the truth would lose!
"Your majesty?" Zhao Yuannan came in, "There's been a commotion outside!"
Zhao Jing returned to his senses. "Because of yesterday's imperial edict?"
"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan said, "The Prime Minister and Imperial Tutor are busy comforting the civil and military officials, but on the streets of the capital …"
"Are the clothes I asked you to prepare ready?" Zhao Jin dared to ask.
Wei Shuge grew anxious. "It's a mess outside the palace. If someone wants to harm you after you leave the palace …"
"I still have you, didn't I?" Zhao Jing's smile was like a flower. "After being locked up in this square place for so many years, it's time to go out and get some fresh air!" She stood with her hands behind her back and turned around to look at the two of them, "Still not leaving?"
The wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful. On the street with a distance of ten miles, it was filled with people.
A golden hairpin, black hair at the temples." He was wearing a navy blue robe and a thin, plain white shirt. With his thin lips curled up slightly, he had a very playful and disrespectful attitude. With the fan in his hand, he was indeed a young man who was at the mercy of the wind!
Standing on this crowded street, Zhao Jing couldn't tell what he felt. Ever since Dongfang Wenming brought him back to the capital, he directly entered the palace and became a free man. The puppet emperor in everyone's eyes must have never come to the streets of the capital before! Raising his head to look at the blue sky, he breathed in the free air, as if only at this moment would he feel alive!
Zhao Jing let out a long breath. He wasn't in a hurry to go to the Regent's Manor. In fact, she was not sneaking out of the palace this time. For safety reasons, she was being followed by a team of palace maids in plain clothes!
"Why didn't you sneak out of the palace?" Zhao Yuannan was a little worried, his face filled with fear. "The Regent and the Imperial Tutor will soon find out. This matter will definitely blow up. At that time, the Emperor will inevitably be punished!"
Zhao Jing took a sip of tea and cast a cold glance at Zhao Yuannan. "You've sneaked out of the palace. Then, who will clean up my mess?" If they wanted to cause a ruckus, they had to make it known to everyone! Next... For an emperor to be able to leave the palace soundlessly, his brain must be really capable! "
She touched her neck, fiddling with the blue and white porcelain cup in her hand, "I quite like this head. I don't like taking it off so early!"
Only retainers would be able to make good use of the emperor's stupidity.
He had also taught the world that the little emperor didn't know many things. If something had happened that caused the common people to complain and complain, then it must have been the actions of those greedy and treacherous officials. It had nothing to do with the stupid and mischievous emperor!
Wei Shuge came back from outside. "Young master, check him out carefully. He's not in the mansion."
"Then let's go!" Zhao Jing looked at the pastries on the table. "Bring this as well!"
Zhao Yuannan picked up the plate and respectfully followed behind Zhao Jing. These two years of living in the palace had made the young master of the palace become a slave. He served Zhao Jing more and more with ease!
Zhao Jing stood outside the manor of the Minister of Rites, Du Heming. He glanced at the towering walls and asked, "Are you sure that person isn't here?"
"They are both in the palace arguing with the Prime Minister and the Imperial Tutor about the emperor's decree." Zhao Yuannan said.
Zhao Jing gently tapped her palm with the folding fan, before climbing up the stairs with a wide smile on her face.
The gatekeeper naturally didn't recognize Zhao Jing, the little emperor of the palace, so he immediately stopped her. "Who is it?" What are you doing here? "
"I heard that Du He Ming's family is magnificent, but now that I have personally seen this red lacquer door, I do believe it a little!" Saying that, she pretended to frown deeply, "I also heard that Lord Du was very resistant to my royal decree yesterday! I don't know if it's because Lord Du hid so many good things that he's reluctant to give them to us? "
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. For a moment, they were all frightened, and no one dared to step forward.
The guard looked at the teenager in front of him. His clothes were luxurious and his movements were extraordinary. He thought to himself that this youth was definitely not a simple person. However, due to her duty, she still had to stop her. "If anything happens to you, Sir, please wait for us to inform you."
"Reporting in?" Zhao Jing's folding fan slammed onto the man's head. "No one dares to stop me from entering or leaving the palace, and yet I have to report back to the official's house?" "Do you want to die or is Du He Ming tired of living?"
Zhao Jing pushed the person in front of him away and stepped through the doorway.
