The gatekeeper stood there and watched Zhou Zhiqian and the guard whisper in each other's ears. Then, Zhou Zhizhi fiercely glared at Defender Gui, before leaving with an unwilling expression. Seeing that he was in a hurry, it seemed as if something had really happened.

Seeing this, the guard returned to his senses, "Let's go!" They quickly led the group out of the Sky Prison.

So what if he was caught in the Celestial Prison? There were some things that could not be helped even if there was real evidence. Dongfang Wenming was arrogant, but Qi Yunshan was still holding onto something important, so he didn't dare to act rashly!

Zhou Zhiqian left in a hurry, "For no reason at all, why would the Regal Pill Palace be in such a mess? "Your Highness is still here …" Suddenly, he stopped and unsheathed his cold sword.

The guard's reaction was exceptionally fast. He instantly jumped and landed on the wall. Before Zhou Zicheng could give chase, he had already disappeared into the dark night, his speed as fast as lightning. So much so that no one could react in time. By the time they could react, the other end of the wall was long gone.

Zhou Zhijie flew up onto the roof. In the empty darkness, he could clearly see the palace walls under his feet, the dazzling glazed roof tiles, and the carved jade palace. The imperial guards shuttled back and forth along the palace path, their bright lanterns illuminating the various palaces. There was no sign of any disturbance. It was just so quiet, just so quiet … It made people suspect that the guard from before was just an illusion!

Most of the imperial guards had been left behind by the late emperor, and it was hard to avoid them being mixed with the Qi Clan's party members. Now that Dongfang Xi had made use of this opportunity, he was able to thoroughly eliminate the Qi Clan's party members in the palace. That was why Zhou Zhizhi had been caught unprepared by the guard just now. After all, it was normal to have new faces everywhere.

"So fast?" Zhou ZhiSuo's forehead was twisted. In all honesty, that person's martial arts must be above his own! He took a deep breath and returned to the ground.

The guard hurried up. "Sir, I found this in the imperial garden!"

Zhou Zhizhi took a closer look and saw that it was a set of guard clothes. The clothes were still warm in his hands and he had probably just taken them off. In such a short period of time, he had already run to the imperial garden and changed his clothes.

"This matter cannot be spread out." Zhou Zhizhi ordered, "Whoever dares to gossip shall be punished by martial law!"

"Yes sir!" The guards saluted.

Zhou Zhiqian felt that something was wrong with the palace. From the looks of it, it didn't seem like the people from Qiyun Mountain, but that person was trying to lure him away so that the people from Qiyun Mountain could escape. With that mysterious man's martial arts skills, he definitely had the ability to kill Zhou Zhiqiang. However, the man did not do so. He just ran away?! Was he an enemy or a friend?

"Not friends, not enemies!" Dongfang Wenming stood under the palace lamp and listened to the noisy footsteps coming from outside the wall. His eyes were as heavy as mist. Perhaps even Qi Yunshan and Ke Er might not know the reason behind this, but this time … If it were not for the fact that we have to help the Qi Family to escape, they would definitely not appear so easily. "

Zhou Zhizhi did not understand, "This person should be well versed in the palace's environment. Otherwise, no matter how high his martial arts are, he would not be able to slip away from me so easily!"

Dongfang Wenming did believe this. Zhou Zhisui had followed him for so many years that the East did not know what he was capable of. No matter how high one's martial arts was, it was impossible for it to be without a trace. Unless they were familiar with the environment, they would not make a sound.

"This person should still be in the palace!" Dongfang Wenming narrowed his eyes. "Investigate!" I would rather kill a thousand wrongly than to let a single person off! "

If the palace was not a eunuch or a palace maid, then what was left was the imperial guards. As long as they were still in the palace, they would not be able to escape!

In the east, the sky had turned white. A night of slaughter and horror had finally come to an end.

Zhao Jing slept for a while and woke up for a while. Afterwards, he sat at the window of his chamber and watched the light seep in bit by bit. She opened the window and put her hand in the sunlight. The early morning in winter was bone-chilling cold. Even with the warm sun, she would not be able to warm her body for a while. She ridiculed with a smile, "As expected, it's still cold!"

Wei Shuge, who had been standing guard behind her, frowned slightly. "Warm it up with blood, it won't be cold." These words were true.

"The emperor has been tired all night. Why is he up so early?" Zhao Yuannan brought the water into the restaurant. His gaze fell on Zhao Jing's frail back, and he unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled. Ever since Zhao Jing had left, he had always felt that something was missing. Now that he saw the faint light of dawn on his back, he could finally relax.

"His Majesty only slept for a short while, and then he refused to sleep again!" Wei Shuge sighed as she took the handkerchief from Zhao Yuannan and carefully presented it to Zhao Jing. "Your Majesty, why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Now that the dust has settled, what should we do in the future? "

"There's no movement from the Prime Minister's side?" Zhao Jing asked.

Zhao Yuannan was stunned. "He said that the Prime Minister needs rest, so he has to thank the guest in private!" Your Majesty, Ke Er was really cunning. He knew that the Qi family would make a move, but he couldn't just ignore it. Why not just stab him?! In this way, the Qi family will think that it was the work of the Regent's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion can completely disregard the matter of conspiring against them! "

"Regardless of conspiracy, the victor is the king and the loser is the thief." Zhao Jing's face paled as he held his stomach, as if he was feeling uncomfortable. "Is Qi Rufeng completely dead?"

Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge looked at each other and did not dare to say anything.

After the breakfast was finished, Dongfang Wenming came again. Wei Shuge took her leave.

Zhao Jing was curled up on the soft couch. He looked so thin and small, like a hedgehog. She only raised her head a little when he came in, then drooped her head again, her little face white and bloodless.

"Are you not feeling well?" Dongfang Wenming sat down, "It's an arm …"

"No!" She couldn't even speak.

Dongfang Wenming was stunned for a moment before he asked, "It's frozen?"

She shook her head and buried her head in her arms, "I just feel weak all over and... It was so cold that he felt drowsy and exhausted. I can't say where it feels uncomfortable, but it just doesn't feel comfortable! "

As the voice faded, Dongfang Wenming immediately grabbed her wrist. His eyes darkened slightly, and he frowned, "Her pulse is considered stable." Was it because he was worried about what was happening outside? "You just need to put your heart at ease. The matters outside have been settled, the Qi family will not be implicated, and the Prime Minister's Palace will no longer be held responsible, not to mention causing chaos in the palace!"

After a pause, he added, "The imperial guards have already settled the accounts and reorganized the arrangements. Anything related to Qi Rufeng was dealt with properly. The ones killed would be killed, the ones exiled would be exiled, and the ones left would not be a threat! "Your humble servant is worried that Qi Yunshan might have some tricks up his sleeve, since he hasn't moved an inch!"

Zhao Jing drooped his head, as if he wasn't very interested in these things. His entire body was listless. If it was before, when he mentioned the matter of the imperial court, her eyes would definitely shine, as she was afraid that she would miss out on even half a word.

Dongfang Wenming felt that there was something different about Zhao Jing today. Her body was curled up into a ball, and her little face was as white as paper? Was there a problem with the medicine again? However, Cui Nanshan was not in the palace. If there really was a problem with the medicine, Dongfang Wenming wouldn't have dared to easily seek an imperial physician to treat Zhao Jing.

This... What should he do?

"I'm afraid Jiangbei is tired from the journey. Carrying you to bed and lying down like this isn't a good idea!" I won't be able to hold it in any longer. I'll get the imperial physician to take a look for you! " Dongfang Cunming picked her up.

Zhao Jing snorted lowly and shrank back into his embrace. "Father Zhong, I'm cold!"

After thinking for a while, Dongfang Wenming sat on the edge of the bed and asked her to sit on his lap. He wrapped his arm around her waist to hold her tightly in his embrace and then wrapped her tightly with a quilt, "Is this better?"

"Much better!" Her voice was weak, and she looked especially pitiful.

Dongfang Bu Fang was puzzled, what was going on? Wasn't he still full of energy last night? When dealing with Qi Rufeng, this little girl had been quite domineering. Why was he so listless now? Could it be that this little girl wanted to play some tricks?

"This humble subject should find an imperial physician for the emperor to see!" Seeing that she really didn't seem to be feeling well, Dongfang Wenming felt that it would be better to look for an imperial physician. If something really happened, then even if he wasn't a doctor, he still wouldn't be able to cure her.

Zhao Jing grabbed his sleeve, his brows tightly knitted together. "It hurts …"

Dongfang Cunming panicked a little. "Is it because of the pain in my heart?"

Zhao Jing shook his head, the frown on his forehead growing even tighter. He was tightly holding onto his unidentified clothing in the east. Her body trembled a little, and she arched her chin in his embrace, feeling uncomfortable. She gripped the front of his shirt even more tightly, the veins on the back of her pure white hands bulging slightly, as if she was exerting all her strength.

"I'll go find the imperial physician!" "Don't move while you're lying down. The imperial physician will be here soon!"

In the next moment, however, just as he stood up, he felt his legs go cold, as if … Wet? Lowering his head to take a look, his thigh was covered in blood? Dongfang Wenming was very clear that he wasn't injured, so the blood on his body definitely wasn't his!

Could it be …

In the next moment, Dongfang Cunming lifted up Zhao Jing's blanket and stared at him with wide eyes. He saw that Zhao Jing was curled up into a ball, with blood covering his bedding, clothes, and pants. This crimson red was as if she was soaking in blood. No wonder her face was so pale. Was it because she had lost so much blood?

"Where are you hurt? "Where is the injury?" Dongfang Wenming didn't dare to touch her easily.

Zhao Jing lay motionless on the bed. His face was deathly pale and his lips quivered slightly. She seemed to be unable to speak. She could only hold her stomach and moan in pain.

Seeing this, Dongfang Cunming couldn't care about the blood on his body. He hurriedly untied her belt. The wound on his arm was still perfectly fixed, so it was impossible for him to bleed. To be able to bleed so much, the wound must be huge! However, he had lifted up Zhao Jing's clothes. On his stomach, there was not a single wound.

Blood was still flowing out.

His eyes widened: It seems like his butt is bleeding?!

Dongfang Wenming swallowed his saliva. "About that …" Your butt is injured?! "

Cold sweat seeped out of Zhao Jing's forehead as he helplessly glared at him. "You … you're the one that's injured in the butt. My butt's fine, but my stomach is hurting …" Do you understand the pain in your stomach? " Saying that, she started to cry and rolled over on the bed, "My stomach hurts! "So painful …"

Angina Pectoris was not as bad as the stomachache. It was so painful that it caused people to feel a chill all over their body. It was unbearable. It was as if something was stirring in her stomach, more like an invisible hand grabbing her stomach and pulling at her tendons.

At this time, Dongfang Wenming naturally couldn't care about the difference between a man and a woman. He didn't take her to be a girl and immediately ripped off her pants. Fortunately, his leg was uninjured.

Just as he reached out to take her underpants, while his mind was still hesitating, a warm current suddenly rushed into his hands.

Dongfang Wenming stood up in shock, and his face instantly turned red to the point that his ears could no longer hear what Dongfang Wenming was saying …
