Zhao Jing had seen this before. Although it was just a glance, she was certain that it was … Zhao Jing turned to look at Zhou Zhizhi, "Zhou Zhizhi. I've seen this before."
Zhou Zhisui looked up at the east, but did not dare to make a sound. He had indeed seen this before. When he was in Jiangbei, Zhou Zhijiu stole the wallet of the prince's heir, Zhong Fu, and these ornaments were on the wallet. Zhong Fu was the young master of Phoenix City, and the phoenix was the head of flying beasts. However, there was no phoenix like this in this world, so he used the feathers of the peacock to prove his identity.
"So now you think you can swallow this?" Dongfang Wenming asked coldly.
Zhao Jing was speechless. If this matter truly had something to do with Zhong Fu, then it had to do with the Duke's Mansion. Provoking Duke Ming's Mansion was not a small matter. After all, Duke Ming's Mansion only had a man like Zhong Fu. If anything were to go wrong … Even if Zhao Jing was the emperor, he probably wouldn't be able to afford it!
"This matter concerns Phoenix City, I'm afraid no one in the imperial court would be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility!" Dongfang Wenming turned around and walked out, "When the people from the Mansion arrived, either you commit suicide or you go and provoke this disaster!" His body trembled slightly as he looked back at Zhao Jing with a smile that was not a smile. His eyes were filled with ridicule. "Maybe that Zhong Fu will plead guilty on your behalf to avoid giving you any trouble!"
Zhao Jing straightened his body and looked at Dongfang Wenming's gloating expression as he watched his departing figure.
"Young Master?" Wei Shuge shouted in a low voice, "What do we do now?"
Zhao Jing glanced at the feather in her palm. "Put it away!"
Wei Shuge was slightly taken aback. "Young Master means …" She looked back at Yu Feng who was lying on the bed, and nodded her head in understanding. She then put the feather back into her sleeve, pretending that nothing had happened.
"If the people from the Jing Zhao residence are here, there is no need for them to say anything. Just let them go investigate!" Zhao Jing narrowed her eyes. "I'll go back first. When the time comes, I need your help with some matters!" After saying this, Zhao Jingwei whispered into Wei Shuge's ear, "Have you remembered everything?"
"I'll remember it!" Wei Shuge nodded.
Zhao Jing stepped out of the door. She had to return to the palace as soon as possible. On the way out, she put on her silver mask and glanced at Wen Rusheng, who was sitting upright on the main platform. With a slight frown on his forehead, Zhao Jing surveyed his surroundings. Why didn't he see Wen Rusheng following him around? What about that slave called Scene? However, at this moment, Zhao Jing didn't have the time to think about it. While everyone was still busy holding a poetry contest, he turned around and left from the back door, returning to the palace. She had just left when the people from the Jing Zhao manor arrived.
Because of Wen Rusheng, Zhao Jing's men had already made contact with the people of the Jing Zhao Estate. Therefore, the people of the Jing Zhao Estate didn't dare to slight them now. What followed next was the yamen's business. It had nothing to do with anyone else, so Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge naturally did not stay any longer and hurried back to the palace.
"Are you saying that this matter might …" Zhao YuanNan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "The House of Duke Ming is not to be trifled with. Who doesn't know that the King loves to kill as if it were his life? If the Crown Prince really arrived in the capital, no one would dare to try this case even if he really killed Prince Wen. "The best course of action these days is to settle this matter peacefully. We must not pursue this matter any further."
Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan walked side by side on the palace path. There was no way they could deny that Zhao Yuannan's words were reasonable. It was a pity that Wen Yufeng had died at the hands of the Emperor for no reason. She stopped and let out a long breath, "Although it's a pity for Wen Yufeng, fortunately he met Young Master! If it was anyone else, they would have just let it go. Unfortunately, this damn madman met his nemesis! "
Zhao Yuannan smiled, "That's true! You go reply to the Emperor, I'll go handle the matters first! "
The two of them nodded and bid their farewells.
After returning from the palace, Zhao Jing had been waiting in the imperial study for news. He watched as the sun slowly set and the glow of the sunset gradually faded. Standing by the window, she couldn't remember how many times she had silently looked out of the window of the imperial study in the past two years. It was unknown how many years it would take for the rose flowers to bloom and fall outside the window.
Wei Shuge had been waiting outside the door the entire time. From time to time, she would glance back at the pitch-black imperial study, aware of Zhao Jing's current dilemma. With regards to Phoenix City, no matter who it was, they would still have a headache.
It wasn't until nightfall that Zhao Yuannan came back. Wei Shuge followed him into the imperial study and carefully closed the door.
"Your majesty!" Zhao Yuannan bowed.
Zhao Jing finally returned to his senses. "How is it?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Your servant has explained everything to Lord Shi and has also spoken with the Jing Zhao Estate. At that time, this paper will pass through the Ministry of Justice and be handed to the Prime Minister at the Six Departments' yamen." As a result, the hot potato will fall into the hands of the prime minister. If the prime minister wants to accompany him, then he can make the matter less serious. If the prime minister … Then let the Qi Family bear the burden! " Zhao Yuannan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, "The Emperor's technique of 'One Stone, Two Birds' is indeed excellent!"
Zhao Jing's expression turned deep. "Uncle Ke is a smart person. He knows what to do!" Are you done with the inner palace? "
"Don't worry!" Zhao Yuannan saluted and said, "It's just that I'm afraid I can't serve in front of the emperor often during this period!"
As he heard these words, Zhao Jing continued to wipe the bronze bell in his hand. He didn't even bat an eyelid as he said, "If I can pass this trial, then my days in the future will be much easier!"
Zhao Yuannan covered his cold eyes and spoke with a deep voice, "This servant understands!"
"Let's go down and rest!" Zhao Jing was lying on the table, staring unblinkingly at the copper bell.
Zhao Yuannan bowed, "Your servant will take his leave!"
This copper bell came from Dongfang Mingming and came from the octagonal tower of the Regent's Mansion. Every time Zhao Jing stared at the copper bell, he would think of the unfathomable scene in the east. If a person didn't have a weak point, then dealing with them would be extremely difficult. Therefore, Zhao Jing had been trying to find a weak point in the East for the past two years. But in reality, Zhao Jing hadn't found anything.
Dongfang Wenming seemed to pop out from a stone crack. His body was made of iron, his heart was made of stone, and even his blood was cold … It looked gentle and gentle, but in reality, it was a knife used to gouge out flesh. If one was not careful, they would be skinned alive and torn apart bones. Therefore, Zhao Jing didn't dare to relax in the slightest during the past two years. Her heart was filled with hatred, her shoulders with mountains and rivers. She was the pillar that propped up Mount Zhou, the last ray of light in Grand Xia.
If light didn't extinguish, Grand Xia wouldn't perish!
When Zhao Yuannan left, he took a glance at Chong Yu who was waiting outside and his expression immediately turned cold, "Let's go!"
Chong Yu respectfully followed behind Zhao Yuannan, walking all the way to the warden. Who knew that before they even reached the inner court disciple, Chong Yu suddenly opened his mouth, "Eunuch!" After she shouted, she stood still on the spot and nervously grabbed Zhao Yuannan's sleeve.
"What for?" Zhao YuanNan was also stunned for a moment. He never expected Chong Yu to do this, "What's going on? What do you want? " Chong Yu was sent to him by Fu Shengquan, so from the very beginning, Zhao Yuannan had been on guard against her. He did not dare to bring Chong Yu with him when he left the palace, but when he returned to the palace, he had to bring Chong Yu with him, otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself.
In the dim light, Chong Yu held the lantern tightly in his hand, "Eunuch, please don't go in! Eunuch Fu, he … "He …" Her small face was especially pale in the dim light. "This servant doesn't wish for eunuch to …"
Seeing that she wanted to say something but was still holding on to her sleeve, Zhao YuanNan felt irritated for no reason. He did not understand what Chong Yu was thinking at the moment. Chong Yu was Fu Shengquan's man, and looking at his current appearance, was he being probed by Fu Shengquan's life? Or was there some other purpose?
Zhao Yuannan's heart was filled with hatred when he thought of how Fu Shengquan would look when he served him at night, and how much Fu Shengquan hated him. But now he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and emotionlessly brushed off Chong Yu's hand that was tightly gripping his sleeve, "What happened to you? What was it that made him uncomfortable? If you are not feeling well, you can go back and rest.
"Eunuch!" Chong Yu fell to his knees with a thump as he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "This servant knows that this official knows that you have to bear all the humiliation for the sake of the greater picture, but this servant isn't willing to see this official in such a state! "Your servant …" She bit her lip. "The crown prince was once so proud, why did he become like this now?" "Although the Crown Prince has lost his Royal Mansion, in the heart of this servant, you are still the high-spirited Crown Prince of Su Palace!"
Zhao Yuannan raised his hand and slapped Chong Yu's face. Zhao Yuannan almost used all of his strength on this slap, to the point that his palm felt numb. When it landed on Chong Yu's fair face, a bright red five-finger mark immediately appeared on it.
His hands were trembling in his sleeves and Zhao YuanNan's breathing became rapid, "Chong Yu, how dare you. Do you know that these words are outrageous? Don't think that I will cover for you just because you mentioned the Palace of Su! Let me tell you, if it wasn't for Eunuch Fu, I could have made you suffer the same fate as Prince Su's mansion with just your nonsense! "
Then, Zhao Yuannan turned around and left.
Chong Yu knelt on the ground and cried, "That year, I was bullied when I entered the palace. It was the crown prince who passed by to help me. This servant will forever remember the benevolence of the crown prince, but this servant did not expect the Palace of Su Wang to become like this, the crown prince would become like this! "
Zhao Yuannan did not stop. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the door of the prison and disappeared from Chong Yu's sight. No matter what Chong Yu said, Zhao YuanNan would never be soft-hearted, much less believe it. So what if what Chong Yu said was true? Zhao Yuannan had long forgotten that there was such an incident, so he didn't dare to gamble his life on it. Otherwise, the slightest mistake would implicate Zhao Jing and destroy the lands of Grand Xia.
When Zhao Yuannan pushed open the door, the young eunuch was waiting on Fu Shengquan to wash his feet.
Seeing that Zhao Yuannan had arrived, Fu Shengquan brushed his sleeves and backed away from the crowd. "Everyone, get down!" Then his gaze coldly fell on Zhao Yuannan, "Come here!"
Zhao Yuannan looked at the retreating servants and carefully closed the door. He took a deep breath and returned to the bed with a smile on his face. He smoothed his sleeves and gently washed Fu Shengming's feet, "Eunuch has worked hard!" He acted skillfully and without affectation, as if he often did so.
A satisfied smile hung on his lips. "As long as you serve this commoner well and satisfy this commoner, this commoner will definitely not mistreat you when this commander-in-chief sits down!"
Zhao YuanNan gently pinched Fu Shengquan's feet, looking extremely docile, "Thank you for your guidance, your servant will definitely serve your father-in-law well!"
Hearing this, Fu Shengyi's face was filled with wrinkles. His fierce gaze seemed to have already stripped Zhao Yuannan clean, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable desire.
At the end of the corridor, Chong Yu silently wiped the tears off her face. Behind her, a person stopped and asked in a hushed tone, "Did you tell him everything?"
