By the time Cobalt had arrived at the palace, Zhao Jing had already received the news.

"Shuge, make a trip to the royal kitchen." Zhao Jing looked at Wei Shuge. "Get me a duck!"

Wei Shuge nodded. "Yes, your servant will go right away!" However, when she turned around, she felt that something wasn't quite right. Wei Shuge turned around and looked at Zhao Jing with a puzzled expression. She asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty said …" Duck? "

"Those with feathers and those who are alive, will run and yell!" Zhao Jing was still chewing on the melon seeds in his plate as he looked at Wei Shuge with a smile.

Wei Shuge was stunned for a moment before she gave a low grunt of assent and walked out.

Zhao Yuannan was also baffled. "Your Majesty, do you want to eat ducks?" But this hairy animal, how will you eat it? Peel him alive? Eat them raw? "Otherwise, this servant will go to the imperial study and serve you something that is already hot …"

"Bake and eat!" Zhao Jing stuffed the plate into Zhao Yuannan's hands and walked out of the Imperial Study to look at the empty courtyard. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jing commanded the guards in the courtyard to set up an earth stove under the large maple tree in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to …" Zhao Yuannan was a bit flustered. Although he had been doing rough work in the palace for two years, Zhao Yuannan was after all, Prince Su's son, so how could he roast ducks? Looking at the live ducks that were teased by the singer Wei Susu, Zhao Yuannan felt goosebumps all over his body as he heard the ducks squawking, "Oh my god, I can't roast..."

Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like you're really going to act," Zhao Jing said, sitting on a rock with his legs crossed. These are things that Shuge Song knows better than you do, and... Who said that I really want to roast ducks? Isn't this playing on a grill? " After all, in the eyes of the world, a willful emperor had to think of one thing and one thing after another. As long as he could achieve his goal, no matter what methods he used, they were all worth it!

The sun wasn't too bad today. There was only the ear-piercing sound of a duck in and out of the study, one after another, which made one's cochlea hurt.

The guard hurriedly came to report with a bitter expression. "Your majesty, the Prime Minister wishes to seek an audience!"

"Perfect timing! "Let him in." Zhao Jing spat out the melon seeds in his mouth and took the cup from Zhao Yuannan. He then took a sip of his Lotus Heart Tea with a smile on his face as he watched Ke Boya walk in from the outside with a slightly unwell expression.

Coburst frowned, and the sharp cry of a duck made his facial nerves twitch and twitch. After entering the courtyard, he looked at the situation before him with wide eyes. He could not believe what he was seeing as he stood there in a daze for quite a while before regaining his senses. "This humble official kowtows to you with respect. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Zhao Jingzhi laughed. "Ke Aiqing is here. You came at the right time. Your nose is really sharp." Zhao Jing patted the ground beside him as he spoke. "Come, come. Watch how I handle that featherless beast!"

Hearing this, Cobb stood next to Zhao Jing and raised his eyebrows at the duck that was standing on the branch.

The duck was really unlucky. It stood on the tree branch and screamed as hard as it could. There was an earth stove under its feet with firewood in it. If it did not stand still, it would be burned to death if it fell, turning into a roasted duck. Anyone who passed by the Imperial study room today had to cover their ears and run for their lives.

The more the ducks screamed, the more agitated Cobb's heart became. Damn featherless beast, the more they shrieked! "Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?"

"Didn't you see?" Zhao Jing pursed his lips and handed a handful of melon seeds to Cobb. "Roast ducks!"

"Who roasted ducks like that?" "Your majesty, if you want to eat ducks, why don't you let the imperial kitchens …"

"I was brought back from outside the palace." Zhao Jing got up and walked over to the duck while chewing on a melon seed. "When I was outside the palace, I had always been the one to do it. I didn't do anything for a long time, and my cooking skills had also become unfamiliar!" "I think that I will have to retrieve this skill someday, in case I don't become the emperor by then, I won't starve to death outside!" She looked meaningfully at Cobalt and asked, "Does the Prime Minister think that this is my way of preparing for a rainy day?"

"Your Majesty is overthinking things. Your Majesty will always be the emperor of Da Xia and the ruler of this world. How can he possibly starve to death if he doesn't become the emperor? Long live the Emperor! "

Zhao Jing smiled coldly. "The Prime Minister's words are so pleasant to hear!" She was chewing on a melon seed. "Did you get the file on the Full Moon Restaurant? Wen Yufeng is a friend I met on the way to Jiangbei and I arranged for him to stay at Full Moon Restaurant. Therefore, I can't help but blame him for what happened to him! "

"Your Majesty's … "Friend!" Cobb wanted to nod. "This humble subject understands!"

"I don't believe that he will commit suicide, even though he looks like he is committing suicide." Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back. "A person who has gone through life and death situations in the north and is about to see the light of dawn cannot commit suicide in front of the Autumn Competition!" I don't mind telling you, I've already sent this case to you, the prime minister has to take it even if he doesn't want to! "It is rather heavy and may involve some people with high authority. I think that only the Prime Minister can take on such a heavy responsibility."

Cobb glanced at the ducks on the branch and smiled wryly with a lowered head, "As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the emperor's act of chasing the ducks was directed at your humble servant! "Your subject …"

Zhao Jing smiled at him. "How is it?"

"This subject is one of the subjects of Da Xia. The emperor has ordered it, so how could he disobey the imperial decree?" "Although this official does not feel hungry after eating alone with his family, this official really likes this head on his neck!"

"Then I am relieved!" Zhao Jing smiled. "It's hard to keep a promise. If the Prime Minister goes back on his word, I'll definitely make you understand that you have to eat this thing no matter what you say!"

Cobalt frowned and smiled, "Your subject... "Yes, master!" In his heart, he felt the two words that Zhao Jing had said — Promise?! Was there still any value in his promise to Cobb? He could not even remember what kind of promise he had made, and to whom!

The cries of the ducks continued, causing the entire palace to be in chaos.

Upon hearing the story of "The Duck Cry in the Imperial Study", Dongfang Buming choked on a mouthful of water, and his face immediately turned purple. In the end, he couldn't help but cough lightly. He silently put down his cup of tea and slowly got up to leave.

"Master?" Zhou Zhizi hurriedly followed her. "The sky is already dark, I'm afraid the palace door is about to open. Maybe I'll …"

"Nonsense!" Dongfang Wenming's face was dark.

However, he was still waiting for Dongfang Wenming to rush to the royal study. His originally dark and gloomy face could only be described as a living being that could not be described with words. From far away, they could hear the annoying sound of a duck. Upon entering the door, they saw quite a few ducks flapping their wings in the air. On the other hand, Princess Ling Yin happily chased the ducks everywhere. The imperial study, which was originally dignified and solemn, had now become a place of chaos! What a thick miasma!

"What's going on?" Dongfang Wenming roared. Ling Yin was so scared that she trembled, and quickly jumped into the embrace of her wet nurse.

Zhao Jing's smile froze on his face as he stared at the duck feathers and melon seeds on the ground. She was standing with her hands on her hips. Zhao Jing rubbed the tip of his nose as he looked at the bedraggled scene in front of him. There were quite a few feathers on the guards' bodies. Under the dim light of the palace lamp, the guards' faces all contorted in extreme pain, as if they had had enough of the poison of these ducks!

"Scram!" Dongfang Wenming's voice was heavy, and his body was emitting a dense and ruthless aura, making people shudder in fear.

Zhou ZhiSuo had already led everyone away, and even Princess Ling Yin was quickly carried away by her wet nurse.

Wei Shuge was a little worried. In the end, she was dragged away by Zhao YuanNan. Didn't she see that Dongfang Wenming was angry? If he stayed, he was afraid that the trouble he would cause would be even bigger, so it was better for him to leave first! Zhao Jing was extremely intelligent. For him to be able to put up such a big show, he most likely had the ability to clean up the situation!

Everyone left the imperial study room, bringing the ducks with them. The entire study room suddenly quieted down. The silence after the ruckus was the most terrifying. Zhao Jing had originally been standing up straight, but now he was as weak as a pustule! She subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to meet that pair of cold eyes from Dongfang Wenming.

For a moment, Zhao Jing felt as if the East had not seen the light before, as if it wanted to devour him!

"Is it fun?" Dongfang asked. He stood there staring at her.

Zhao Jing squeezed out an awkward smile. "Alright …" Isn't this very lively? "

"It's an Autumn Trial outside the palace, and the emperor within is chasing the ducks? Does the emperor still think it's good to be lively? " Dongfang Wenming took a step forward. "Leaving aside what's in front of us, in the long run, the emperor is that confident about Qiyun Mountain in the Royal Tomb? The people of Qiyun Mountain were in the Royal Tomb, but their hearts were in the capital. His hands were still covering the sky! How could the Emperor be so careless when he had merely taken a step back to show weakness? "The Emperor is really too disappointing!"

As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of Zhao Jing.

Behind Zhao Jing was a wall. At this moment, there was no room for him to retreat. His body tightly pressed against the wall. An icy feeling suddenly came from her back, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably. "I …" I just thought it was fun, so I didn't think too much about it! "

In the next moment, Dongfang Wenming suddenly raised his hand, shocking Zhao Jing so much that he immediately shrank back and closed his eyes. However, she didn't wait for his slap. In a moment of desperation, she slightly opened her eyes.

Dongfang Cunming pressed both hands against her sides, wrapping her in his arms. His mesmerizing phoenix eyes cut across her body like cold blades, and his warm breath gushed all over her face.

However, in Zhao Jing's eyes, this was no different from a mere 'Ling Chi'. It was extremely easy for him to be exposed when he was in close proximity to them. If he let Dongfang Wenming see …

"Did you see Coburg today?" Dongfang Wenming said.

Zhao Jing was startled. Why was his question different from what she had expected? Wasn't he supposed to ask about the Full Moon Restaurant? Or something else... She thought about it for a moment. She always felt that the two of them were in such an intimate position. Thus, Zhao Jing took a deep breath, planning on slipping out from under his armpit.

Dongfang Wenming had seen through her as soon as she bent down. He suddenly bent down and carried her in his arms, then started walking towards the imperial study.

Zhao Jing was still in a state of shock, and all sounds were stuck in his throat. She tightly held onto Dongfang Wenming's shirt, her heart nearly jumped out of her throat.

What was Dongfang Ming trying to do?
