Zhao Jing hastily turned around. A blue carriage quickly passed by her. Someone lifted the curtain of the carriage window to take a look outside, then lowered the curtain once more.

Within the imperial study.

Dongfang Wenming was already sitting there and waiting with a cup of tea in his hand. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the sound of footsteps entering the door, treating Zhao Jing as air. The door closed. Only Zhao Jing and Dongfang Wenming were left in the room.

Zhao Jing pursed her lips, a light flickering in her eyes. She subconsciously sniffed her body, but she couldn't hide the guilty conscience on her face that was still reeking of alcohol. Swallowing his saliva, Zhao Jing laughed dryly. "Father Zhong, why have you come to the palace?"

"Have you had enough fun?" Dongfang Wenming put down the cup in his hand. With a light tone, he said in a somewhat unclear tone, "Have you caused enough trouble?" How was the Prime Minister's manor? What kind of rare items could be found here? For example, the Prime Minister's bed! "

Zhao Jing giggled as he approached. "Father Zhong already knows?" This news spread very quickly! "

"Does the emperor feel that his Dragon Couch is restless? Does he want that oily and powdery scholar to warm your bed?" Dongfang Wenming narrowed his eyes at her, the faint light carrying a distinct chill. "Your Majesty, what great skill you have! How could this subject not know that the emperor's skin is as thick as a city wall? Is he planning to use the wine to get some act out of the show? "

With a slight frown on his forehead, Zhao Jing sat there with a frown on his face. He looked to the east with a puzzled expression. This person was usually cold, so he didn't say much. Why was he shooting out arrows today? The sun must have risen from the west, she thought.

"Why aren't you talking?" Dongfang Wenming snorted lightly, as if he was carrying some kind of unknown resentment.

Zhao Jing straightened his body and grabbed the tea leaves in front of Dongfang Wenming. Then, he took two gulps.

"That belongs to this official!" His face was even colder.

Zhao Jing took a sip of the remaining flavor in his mouth and then placed the cup in front of him. He looked at him with a provocative gaze. "After I drink it, it will be mine!"

Dongfang Wenming looked at her coldly without saying a word.

"Father Zhong knew that I had to leave the palace, so he hurriedly brought me back. He said that he had something important to discuss with me …" She smiled mischievously as she approached him, blinking her bright eyes, "Now that I'm back, why don't you tell me? Could it be that this is just a pretext for Father Zhong, but Father Zhong is actually worried about me … Are you worried that I might have overslept on the Prime Minister's bed? "

"You still have the face to say that?" Dongfang Wenming slightly straightened his back. "Does the emperor even know who he is? Do you know what you can and can't do? "

"This Emperor knew that Ke Er didn't dare to do it, so he dared to do it!" She stood up with a confident look. "Cobb has no woman by his side, so he knows very little about women. Even if I sleep in front of him, he won't be able to recognize me." "Besides, I'm not really sleeping. I'm just pretending to be drunk to see what he's up to!"

"There has been no movement from the Qi family. We can't just sit and wait for death." "No matter what happens outside, Father Zhong will only report it to me without reporting back. I can't let Father Zhong decide everything. I'll help you share your worries!" "It's clear that Cobb is just pretending to be sick, I can't let him off!"

Dongfang Wenming played with the cup in his hand. He seemed to want to drink a bit, but then he remembered that she had already drunk a bit, so he put it down, "Then, what did you discover?"

"Uncle Ke is feigning illness. Since I've exposed him, I'm sure that he won't be able to continue feigning sickness very long!" Zhao Jing sighed. "But …" "I didn't expose him in front of everyone, but as smart as he is, he'll surely understand!"

"So what if I understand?" Dongfang Wenming narrowed his eyes. "Qi Yunshan handed over the paper and resigned as the Imperial Tutor of the dynasty. I request that the late emperor guard the imperial mausoleum and make Qi Rufeng pay for his sins!"

Zhao Jing was dumbstruck. His eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say?!" Qi Yunshan handed in his resignation letter? He … Could he bear it? "How can he let go of the rivers and mountains of Grand Xia, the figurehead of the dynasty, and the world of the Qi Clan?"

At these words, Dongfang Wenming leisurely took out a paper from his sleeve. "Your Majesty, look for yourself!"

Zhao Jing hastily opened the book. It was indeed written by Qi Yunshan himself. His every word was filled with tears and blood, and his words were filled with patriotism. The words' the late emperor 'were everywhere. This truly stung Zhao Jing's eyes. What patriotism? In the name of being a loyal official, he was just doing things for the rights, fulfilling his own ambitions!

Qi Yunshan, was this using retreat to advance?!

"What does the emperor think?" Dongfang Wenming stood up. When he stood up, Zhao Jing had lost his advantage in height. At first, she could only glance at him arrogantly, but now, she could only look up at him. Even if she stood on tiptoe, it would only be enough for her to crash into his embrace.

Helplessly curling his lips, Zhao Jing let out a long breath. "Father Zhong's question is as if I can really make a decision?!"

Dongfang Wenming frowned as he looked at her. 'Why is this girl so angry after coming back from the Prime Minister's Estate?' Like a hedgehog with thorns! Dongfang Wenming stood with his hands behind his back. The two of them were standing face to face, staring at each other.

"Alright!" In the end, it was Zhao Jing who lost and unconsciously muttered, "To say that I have thick skin, I can't help but look at your thick skin." "You're already this old, and yet you're still glaring at a little girl like me. Don't you even know how to be a little more secretive? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"

"Chi …" Dongfang Wenming sucked in a breath of cold air. This was truly strange. This girl's courage was really great today. Could it be that she was infected by the bed's bed gas and had a bad feeling about it?

Zhao Jing tilted his head, and the smell of alcohol wafted into his nose, piercing his sensitive nerves. In the next moment, Zhao Jing cried out in shock as he was lifted up by Dongfang Wenming. He was so shocked that Zhao Jing immediately grabbed his neck. "Dongfang Mingming, you're scaring me to death?"

Dongfang Cunming hugged her and sat on the soft couch. He placed her on his knees and held her in his arms, "As the ruler of the imperial court, how is it proper for you to smell alcohol all over? Didn't the Emperor think carefully about the consequences before acting? You said you were intelligent, but you didn't know it was a wolf under the old fox's tutelage? "He didn't take your skin off because you were lucky!

Hearing this, Zhao Jing tilted his head, a puzzled expression appearing on his young face. "Father Zhong, aren't your words too serious? That Uncle Ke is just a weakling, not like a wolf at all!" "At most, he's just a blade belonging to Qi Yunshan. He can't afford to raise such a big wave of trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have neglected his own life when Qi Rufeng tried to rebel against him!

"After what happened with Qi Rufeng, this master and disciple must have had a grudge. Now that we've visited the Prime Minister's Residence, Qi Yunshan's trust in Cobalt will be greatly reduced. From now on, it will be of no harm to us." The reason why Father Zhong scolded me and told me this is for the sake of Da Xia's future, for the sake of helping him to eliminate the Qi family. "

Dongfang Wenming narrowed his eyes. "Is there anything else?"

Zhao Jing blinked. "No more!"

"Comfortable?" he asked.

"Hmm?" Zhao Jing was stunned. "What?"

"How is the Prime Minister's bed compared to the Qian Yuan Palace's?" Dongfang Wenming asked.

Zhao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She could clearly feel someone's hand pinching her slender waist. It was as if they were pinching her fiercely. Zhao Jing immediately smiled. "The Prime Minister's Palace's bed is as hard as a coffin. It feels uncomfortable lying on it!" If I am to leave the palace next time, I would rather lie down by Father Zhong's side and have a good night's rest than go to the Prime Minister's Estate and suffer any more! "

The hand he placed on her waist slowly relaxed.

Zhao Jing chuckled. He felt a chill run down his spine. Her life was his, why wasn't her body her own now?

"Father?" Zhao Jing called out in a low voice, then looked at him with a mischievous smile. "How do you plan to deal with this Qi Yunshan affair?" The moment the Imperial Jade Seal falls, all the civil and military officials and officials in the palace would be forced to scold me for being heartless and heartless! After all, Qi Rufeng rebelled, and Qi Yunshan did not participate in it at all.

"Qi Rufeng has already been dealt with. Qi Yunshan did not plead for mercy and even sent a letter asking the six departments to handle this matter impartially." Everyone in the world knows that the Qi family only has one son. I have personally severed the bloodline of the Qi family and severed the root of Qi Yunshan's existence. "Qi Yunshan is an old official who founded the country. I've already done my best. If we continue to hunt him down, everyone in the world will think that I …"

"Yes!" The East did not say so.

Zhao Jing was startled. "What?!" Were they really going to let Qi Yunshan go? Qi Yunshan had given his resignation slip, which made it clear that retreat was the only way forward. How could Dongfang Mingming not understand? Right now, Dongfang Wenming wanted her to grant him this debt. Wasn't this pushing her into a fiery pit?

"What if Qi Yunshan goes back as well?" Zhao Jing was anxious.

"Isn't that perfect?" Dongfang Wenming expressionlessly looked at her, "My son was killed for plotting against me, and I followed closely behind, just in time to clean everything up. Your Majesty is relieved, and this humble subject is relieved as well. I will settle the score with you! "

Zhao Jing was unable to guess what Dongfang Wenming was thinking. He had fought with Qi Yunshan for so many years, so how could he not understand Qi Yunshan's thoughts? The Taifu Residence had such a large estate, and the imperial power that Qi Yunshan had accumulated throughout his lifetime. How could they possibly let it go just like that? There must be a bigger conspiracy behind letting go! As long as Zhao Jing's Imperial Jade Seal fell, the entire Grand Xia would surely tremble!

"But Father Zhong …" Zhao Jing's breathing quickened. "If Qi Yunshan …"

"Qi Yunshan, you don't dare to rebel!" Dongfang Wenming was still calm. "If he wanted to rebel, then Qi Yunshan would have done it in one fell swoop the day Qi Rufeng started the fight. How could he have given the emperor the chance to retaliate?"

"That's because Qi Yunshan is worried about Father Zhong!" Zhao Jing hastily replied.

"There are things that are not as simple as what His Majesty saw. Qi Yunshan has Qi Yunshan's plan, but since he gave the emperor this chance, why didn't the emperor make good use of it?" "Let's announce this to the world tomorrow!" After saying this, Dongfang Wenming released her and slowly stood up. "Go wash yourself. Your body smells like alcohol and is very ashamed!"

Zhao Jing froze on the spot. He held the paper in his hand, but it was as if he was holding a hot potato. His expression immediately changed. Qi Yunshan wanted to resign, and Zhao Jing couldn't make up his mind to play the song before it was announced to the East. Once the matter was announced to the world, there would be no way to go back on his words.

She should... Will they play?
