Zhao Jing woke up from his sleep and found himself lying alone on the soft couch. She glanced at the fire cage beside the pillow and reached out to feel the temperature. She knew that he had not been gone long. Letting out a long breath, Zhao Jing quietly sat up and looked around in silence.
It was unknown when the rain outside had stopped. When Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan came in, they were met with a cold breeze that blew into the hall. Zhao Jing subconsciously shrunk his body and hugged the fire cage tightly.
"This …" Zhao Yuannan looked aghast at the collapsed dragon bed. He rushed in front of Zhao Jing in disbelief and asked anxiously, "Your majesty, what is …" Are you all right? Are you hurt? "
Zhao Jing looked at the fire cage in his arms. "If he wanted to hurt me, why would you ask me these questions now?" You should all come in early in the morning to collect the corpses! " The implied meaning was that it was impossible for Dongfang Wenming to touch her.
Wei Shuge stepped forward. "Is the emperor better?"
With a sigh, Zhao Jing rubbed his forehead. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry!" "Since this bed is weak, let's change it!"
"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan saluted. Of course, this matter had to be minimized!
However, outside, the people from the palace would unavoidably guess at the clues. One had to know that the emperor's bed was made out of a top-quality purple sandalwood that was easily worth ten million gold. What on earth made the dragon bed collapse into such a state?
The news had reached Dongfang Wenming's ears in the afternoon. Zhou Zhiqian looked at his master in surprise, but didn't say anything.
"If it collapsed, then it's a different one!" Dongfang Wenming, on the other hand, was in a good mood. "It's just a bed. What's there to be surprised about?"
Zhou Zhizhi said, "Master, that is what you say, but the scout said it was spread around the palace. "There are all sorts of rumors about the collapse of the Emperor's bed. Do you want me to …"
Before Zhou Zhizhi could finish, Dongfang Wenming had already scattered the fish food into the pond, "Continue spreading! The more bizarre and interesting the story was, the more interesting it would be! The emperor's bed had collapsed. This was the first time this had happened since the start of the Grand Xia Dynasty. "Maybe someone else will report to him and say that it's a warning from the heavens, telling the Emperor to restrain himself so that he doesn't harm his own body!"
After saying that, Dongfang Wenming actually snorted and revealed a bit of evilness.
Zhou Zhiqian had never seen his master like this before. That kind of joyful expression on his face made people feel relaxed. When he spoke of the emperor, his tone carried an undisguised sense of playfulness. For a moment, Zhou Zhiqian experienced an illusion. Even when that person was still alive, he had never experienced such an illusion …
"Right, Master, the Emperor has really invited this great Buddha over at the Prime Minister's Estate!" Zhou Zhizhi changed the topic, "This morning, Prime Minister Ke went to the Six Departments. He hasn't come out yet!"
This morning?" Dongfang Wenming frowned. Her mind suddenly recalled what Zhao Jing had said. She had said that during the late emperor's era, he had often summoned Uncle Ke to the palace. If she … Heh, could it be that these two are really addicted to breaking their sleeves? That damned girl didn't know that she was a mother. Even if she was a radish, she still wouldn't be a man? He had really been an emperor for too long. Had he forgotten whether he was a man or a woman?! Heh …
Zhou Zhiqian was stunned. Why did his master's expression change so quickly? He glanced at the sky. Could it be because of the weather?
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhizi answered with extra care, "Master, there's still no news from Han Dong at the border. Our side has temporarily caused the Prime Minister's Estate to move, would it make a fool of itself?"
"It was that old bastard who made a fool of himself!" Dongfang Wenming seemed to have a headache. "Watch carefully for Master Ke. This kid probably has his eyes set on the Autumn Competition as soon as he comes out!" "Since the little emperor wants to run for the throne in the autumn, I shall use her to replace those stubborn old fogeys and exchange their blood for Qi Yunshan!"
Zhou Zhizhi asked in a low voice, "Has this lord never thought that the emperor might …"
"Will you make your own plans?" Dongfang Wenming looked at the free fish in the pond, "You can't help but be a mother, what thoughts will the tiger cub that you grew up with have? Do you think This King knows nothing? She was more intelligent than anyone else, and if she had not sat on the throne, with her intelligence, she would have been the best doctor in the world. To help the world's living, and bring it back to life! "
"Master, what are you talking about?" This lowly subordinate cannot understand! " Zhou Zhizhi was stunned for a moment.
Dongfang Wenming came back to himself, "It's nothing, just some nonsense! "Just stare at Cobb!" He raised his head and looked at the red silk cloth fluttering in the wind.
Octagon Tower, Octagon Aniseed.
Dummy bells rang and red silk flew everywhere.
The Autumn Competition will be held in the next few days.
Tomorrow would be a good day for the poetry meet. Dongfang Bu Fang thought, that girl definitely wouldn't want to show mercy and would definitely personally come out to preside over it! She liked and loathed the liveliness, so she was extremely conflicted and stubborn. It had to be her!
However, Zhao Jing had not expected something like this to happen to Fang Hua.
When Wei Shuge returned with the news, Zhao Jing was wiping the bronze bell in his hand. When he heard these words, his hand paused for a moment, not showing much emotion. After a long time, Zhao Jing slowly put down the copper bell in his hand and calmly asked, "How is it now?"
"Because the shop on the long street was smashed. This time, it has reached the yamen and the news has spread throughout the capital." Wei Shuge pursed her lips. "Your majesty, should we investigate and see who did this?"
"How about we find out? So what if I can't find it? This matter does not belong to me. Even if I wanted to manage it, I would have to make Wen Rusheng beg me. Oh right, Shuge, did you hurt anyone? " Zhao Jing asked.
Wei Shuge thought about it and said, "Probably not. The scouts didn't say if there were any casualties."
Zhao Yuannan respectfully took the soft cloth from Zhao Jing's hand. "Your majesty, tomorrow is the day of the poetry contest. In that case …"
"Wen Jianxuan couldn't find any trace of me, and I guess he couldn't find anything from those old men, so he found trouble with Fang Hua Zhai!" Zhao Jing slowly stood up. "People die for money, birds die for food. There's nothing strange about that!" After hearing that Brushstroke Xuan had lost control of the poetry contest, it was inevitable that he would become angry out of embarrassment. The palace has been filled with reverends for many years, and now that the sky is about to change, anyone would probably go crazy! "
Zhao Yuannan said, "I've already ordered some people to begin preparing for the day at the warden's office!"
Zhao Jing nodded. "Let's continue as planned!"
"But the Fanhua Temple has been destroyed!" Wei Shuge hurriedly said.
Zhao Jing smiled. "As long as the signboard is still there, isn't that enough?" I'd like to see how many of these beautiful houses they can torture. "Clean it up, I'm going out to take a look, in addition …" She hesitated for a moment and swallowed some words back, "Forget it, so what if This Emperor doesn't return for an entire night? How can a headstrong monarch be too obedient? "
"The Emperor is staying outside tonight?" Wei Shuge lowered her voice. "I'm afraid it's not safe!"
"Sky No. 1 Room. It's quite comfortable to stay here!" Zhao Jing flicked his sleeves. "Change your clothes!"
"Your servant will prepare!" Zhao Yuannan saluted and quickly left the room.
Every time he took off his dragon robe, Zhao Jing would feel even more relaxed. When this bright yellow robe was worn, it was as if it weighed a thousand jin, and it was so heavy that it caused people to be unable to breathe. He stood with his hands behind his back in the mirror. His face was like jade, and his eyes sparkled like the stars.
"Your majesty, this is indeed Cold Fragrance Powder. The Imperial Physician said that this powder is good stuff, and it doesn't have any effect on your majesty's dragon body!" Therefore, the Emperor can carry it with him, especially during the blooming season in spring. Normally, he might not necessarily be able to obtain it. "
"Got it!" Zhao Jing walked out.
"The Regent's side …" Zhao Yuannan helped Zhao Jing into the carriage. "Your majesty, is it inappropriate to stay outside the palace?"
"If he wants to find it, it's something that can be found even at the ends of the earth. So whether I am in the palace or outside it, to him, it's just a wall! " Zhao Jing boarded the carriage. "Let's go!"
The carriage quickly left through the side door.
In front of the Fanghua Temple, there was still a lot of people watching the commotion. Occasionally, a passerby would stop and look at the scene. Fang Hua Zhai's signboard was hanging on the lintel of the door, looking like it was about to fall at any moment. The waiters in the shop were busy cleaning, cleaning with a flurry of hands and feet. Their eyes were red and there were traces of being beaten on their faces.
Wei Shuge and Li Yiheng accompanied Zhao Jing out of the carriage, while Zhao Yuannan drove the carriage to the side.
Zhao Jing stepped through the door and looked at the papers on the ground. His eyebrows were slightly raised.
Seeing that someone had come to the door, the attendant hurriedly put down his broom and stepped forward, "Sir, we are not doing business here today." He looked around, "It's a little messy here. Let's pack up a little more, our boss won't be able to entertain you if there's anything else to do!" If you are happy, can you come back another day? "
"Boss, is there something you need?" Where did your boss go? " Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back as he surveyed his surroundings.
FangHua Zhai's shop was really well-prepared. Whether it was the tables, chairs, stools or couplets on the pillars, it was not ambiguous at all. The bonsai decorations, the flowers and trees that were placed, all emphasized the five elements. His Master had been used to fighting in the army back then. Even though his Master no longer held the reins of this profession, Zhao Jing had still managed to obtain all of these skills. Although Zhao Jing wasn't proficient in martial arts, he could still see that this Wen Rusheng had some ability.
"Customer, you should go back first! It's really not convenient for us to entertain guests today! " The servant picked up the broom again. "Look at this mess …" It's not enough for us to clean up, how can we have the time to greet you? "
"It's like someone smashed it!" Zhao Jing spoke without hurry as he paced back and forth in the shop.
The attendant was naturally unhappy when he saw Zhao Jing's unfazed expression. Their family had just caused a ruckus, and now everyone who looked at the situation felt that their hearts ached. Yet a descendant who didn't know what was good for himself was still wandering around. If this person was not his sworn enemy and came to enjoy the results of the battle, he would definitely not be a gentleman!
"Why aren't you leaving? Do you think we don't have enough work here? Why do you want to look at her when you don't care about the pain in your waist? "Let me tell you, since we're not opening the door today, if you want to buy the Four Treasures in the study, go to another store and don't hang around in front of us!" The manservant roared at Zhao Jing with his hands on his waist.
"How dare you!" Wei Shuge reprimanded him coldly. "Who the hell are you to make fun of my young master!?" "Do you not see who my young master is for being so impudent? My young master …"
"I don't care who he is. If he's with those people, then get out of here as soon as possible." Before the attendant could finish his words, Wei Shuge had already made her move. She grabbed the manservant and pressed him onto the table.
"To be rude, it's time to fight!" Wei Shuge harrumphed coldly.
"Your young master is born with seven exquisite orifices, how did he find such a useless thing?" Zhao Jing sighed and finally raised his hand. "Look carefully. What is this?"
