Zhao Jing carefully examined the letter that had been handed to him by Dongfang Wenming. The truth was that Zhong Fu had indeed transcribed it many times. It could be vaguely seen from the handwriting that both the letter in Kobold's hand and the letter in Dongfang Mingming's hand had been written by the same person. Whether it was the brush or the finishing touch, it was all done in one go! Zhao Jing couldn't help but furrow his brows. He stared at the pink mark on the corner of the letter with a slightly focused gaze.
Up until now, Zhao Jing had already seen three identical letters written by the same person. All of them had the same imprint of makeup on them. Was this a signal from Chung Fu? If so, what was Chopper trying to imply?
"Is the Emperor sure Cobb has the same letter in his hand?" Dongfang Wenming asked.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhao Jing raised his head and glanced at Dongfang Wenming before heavily nodding. "From the handwriting, it really does seem like it came from a person." It's just that I find it a little strange. Didn't Father Zhong notice the strangeness in the letter? From start to finish, the handwriting of this letter is rather sloppy.
"What does this mean?" Dongfang Wenming asked.
Zhao Jing fiddled with the letter in his hand. "This means that someone is copying something that was prepared a long time ago. When he was writing this letter, Zhong Fu hadn't even thought about it!" Even someone as wealthy as him would need more than five cars to think! Besides, does Zhong Fu think that he is a man of great talent or talent? "
"Those from Duke Ming Palace are disdainful of writing and ink!" Dongfang's words were not clear and concise.
"So!" Zhao Jing spread out his hands. "Zhong Fu is copying all these letters. I wonder how many more letters there are outside!"
"For what purpose?" Dongfang Wenming looked at her with a slight frown on his forehead. This little girl's mind was not small, she could even see this much. It could be seen that she hadn't been idle in the palace all these years. She did not have the ability to expand her influence, so she expanded herself. This little brat was more and more worthy of her status and position.
Dongfang Wenming was not annoyed. On the contrary, he was rather appreciative. The woman who went against the current had an unconcealable tenacity. This force was a sharp blade on the battlefield, a sword that had been sharpened over ten years by the blacksmith. How many fools are there in the world? How many are there who are truly wise and foolish?
Someone like Dongfang Wenming, who thought highly of himself, had an innate cold aloofness in his bones. The loneliness and loneliness in his heart made him especially eager to have a real opponent. The happiest thing in life was that he would meet his match and encounter a good talent! Only a real opponent would truly understand the loneliness of being at the top, and feel a sense of empathy for each other! That feeling was even more tempting to him than meeting true love!
Zhao Jing, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it. In front of the people from the East, any amount of thought would turn into a conspiracy. Thus, she had to pretend to be magnanimous in order to gain his trust and live longer. At this moment, Zhao Jing was still pondering over the letter in his hand. "From what I've seen, it should be a net streaking through the sky. The one who wishes for it will be caught!"
"The one who wants to take the bait?" Dongfang Wenming thoughtfully looked at her. "Interesting!"
"I feel that the person behind this is very smart. He knows that the Residence of the Regent and the Prime Minister are at odds, so he wanted to use this opportunity to kill someone. He wanted to use these letters to stir up conflict between the Residence of Regent and the Residence of Prime Minister. Zhao Jing explained in all seriousness, "In this way, they'll be able to effortlessly make you two kill each other!"
Dongfang Wenming looked at her with a strange gaze. "Your majesty is very clear on this. It's as if you're used to doing this kind of thing. Such experience is truly admirable! Your Majesty is wise and wise, this subject is truly far from being able to compare with you! "
Zhao Jing raised his brows. "Father Zhong, you must have tried to kill me. Aren't all of my gifts bestowed upon me by Father Zhong?" It was Father Zhong who told me to share my thoughts, but in the end, he said them in a bad way and Father Zhong was no longer willing to listen! " She curled her lips in displeasure. "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have said it!"
"Who else have you been talking to?" Dongfang Wenming suddenly asked.
The implication was, had she told Cobb?
Zhao Jing pursed his lips. "I said something, but I didn't say it in detail!" I only promised him that I would trust him, that's all. What did his father want to ask him? I will never lie to you. If Father Zhong has something to say, he can just ask directly. Why do you have to be so weird?
"What are two men jealous of?" Dongfang Wenming slightly raised the space between his eyebrows.
Zhao Jing smiled like a thief as she said, "Didn't Father Zhong say that there was an example made by the Emperor of Mourning?" Since mournful emperor has the name of Zhexiu, then I should also … What about being a man to his father? Besides, our Dragon Bed is completely collapsed. I guess there are some things that don't even need us to tell you, and others must have seen them for real. Don't you think so, Father? "
Dongfang Wenming sucked in a deep breath. "Everyone says that a girl's face is thin, why do I feel that the emperor has set a precedent?"
When Zhao Jing saw his current appearance, he had the intention of dodging, but in the end, his enthusiasm was piqued. "Father Zhong might not know this, but I am actually a thin-skinned person." "Not only is my skin thin, but my flesh tender. Didn't Father Zhong touch it already?"
Dongfang Wenming stared at her for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh, shook his head, and walked outside. "Just focus on your own skin and skin, don't interact too much with Cobb." He paused at the door. "Coburst is too clever, and you have been in his presence for too long. Be careful not to show your fox tail, and then the Emperor will have to pray for his own good fortune!" People who make fun of others will be made fun of sooner or later. If you don't believe it, just wait and see! "
Zhao Jing stood at the entrance of the imperial study, looking at Dongfang Wenming's departing back. His eyes were sinister, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Then …" "Let's wait and see!"
"Your majesty?" Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan stepped forward cautiously.
Zhao Jing let out a long breath. "Shuge, where's the letter?"
Wei Shuge hurriedly handed the letter over and closed the door to the royal study. When Wei Shuge saw Zhao Jing sniffing the letter, she stared at Zhao Yuannan with a stupefied expression. She subconsciously thought to herself, "What's going on?"
"Smell, smell?" Zhao Yuannan didn't know what was going on either. He only remembered that Zhao Jing had said that the letter had a smell. After Zhao Jing put down the letter, Zhao Yuannan hastily asked, "Does the emperor smell anything?"
"I'm not a dog!" Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "Shuge, are you sensitive to fragrance?"
Wei Shuge shook her head. "This servant is only sensitive to the smell of blood!"
Zhao Jing curled his lips. "Then what about Jinghong?"
"Of course, Jing Rong is different. She was exceptionally meticulous with the things in these girls' homes. Your majesty, don't forget where she came from." Wei Shuge smiled. "Whatever the emperor wants to do, just say it!"
"The letters in the hands of Cobb and Dongfang Buming are exactly the same as yours. The content is the same, even the smell in the corner is the same. " Zhao Jing looked meaningfully at Wei Shuge. "I feel that the smell is very pungent. You should ask Jing Hong to give it a try. Maybe there will be some special results!"
Hearing this, Wei Shuge brought the letter close to her nose and sniffed it, "Why can't this servant smell it?"
"If everyone could smell it, wouldn't they have been discovered long ago?" Zhao Jing narrowed his dangerous eyes. "Letters cannot be spread out!"
"Understood!" Wei Shuge nodded.
Zhao Yuannan was puzzled. "But Your Majesty, you've chosen all the questions. How can the prime minister and the regent not fight?" Furthermore, in this way, the Prime Minister and the Regent would have to view you as a formidable opponent. If an official wanted to control the imperial court, he or she would not be able to tolerate the wise emperor! If you do this, there will be danger!
"There is bound to be a danger of being exterminated if one were to act recklessly in front of the Qi Yun Mountain, but it is not so for Cobalt and Dongfang Wenming. Cobb needed wings, and if I was an extremely mischievous, sloppy-looking Monarch, I wouldn't be able to work with him, and I wouldn't be able to deal with that old fox Qi Yunshan. But Dongfang Wenming, he doesn't need a fool to drag him down. In a situation where there is a tiger behind a wolf in front of him, he needs support! " Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back. "I've chosen a few obvious questions. Even if I didn't tell them, they would still be able to see through me. Therefore, in their eyes, I'm just a little smart!"
Zhao Jing had never brought up the issue of the pink mark. It was necessary to leave something for him! And this time, Zhao Jing had done the right thing. The pink mark had indeed been a signal left behind by Zhong Fu.
At this moment, Jing Hong was in the "Drunken Flower Red" backyard. There was a corner of the letter inside the envelope. There was not a single word on it, but the fragrance of makeup was faintly mixed in. Being in the brothel, Lin Feng was naturally very familiar with these items. What was even more unexpected was that Jing Rong's ancestors were people who made incense. It was only after a family situation took a turn for the worse, that they found themselves in the Devil Palace.
The fragrance drifted past his nose, and Jing Hong closed his eyes as he carefully smacked on it. She stood there motionless, the space between her eyebrows twisted tightly. What was this smell? It was slightly pungent, and it could be seen how strong it was.
Suddenly, Jing Hong opened his eyes wide. "Stay here for the incense!" With her red lips slightly raised, she stared at the corner of the letter in her hand with a smile that was somewhat proud of herself, "I was wondering what kind of thing it was. So it's this kind of thing, it's really vulgar!" He turned around and wrote a letter and passed it to the messenger. Jing Hong specifically ordered, "You must deliver this letter to the palace master personally, and you are not allowed to pass it to anyone. If we miss a single detail, we would rather destroy them and not leave them behind! "
"Yes sir!" The messenger left immediately.
Guests' Aroma was something that was not common, but it was also a common sight. Although men couldn't distinguish the various scents, they could discern them very clearly. The so-called guest staying incense was naturally something that only those who stayed would need. Due to the bright color and strong smell, most people would not use it. Only those flowery streets and willow alleys could be used. After all, they were relatively cheap and had a large production volume.
Hearing Wei Shuge's words, Zhao Jing frowned slightly. "Flower streets and willow alleys?" Do you mean to say that Chung Fu might have been hidden in the brothel? " She suddenly laughed, "In that case, wouldn't we be letting Zhongfu get away with it? This was his first time coming to the capital, and he had already been treated like this. Wasn't this guy overjoyed? This time, we have truly taken advantage of his efforts and have allowed him to have a good time! "
Wei Shuge laughed lightly. "Jinghong also said that not only the brothels could use the guest staying incense, but there is also a place where they would be happy to use it."
Zhao Jing raised the center of his brows slightly. "Pear Garden?"
"Yes!" Wei Shuge nodded her head, "Shuge has already checked the source of the guest fragrance in the capital. If there are any traces, she will not be let off!"
Zhao Jing rubbed the tip of his nose. "You have to be fast. Both Dongfang Wenming and Ke Boya aren't idiots!"
Zhao Yuannan, who had been silent all this time, said thoughtfully, "This servant remembers that the largest Pear Garden in the capital is like a spring breeze park! When my father was still young, this servant often went to this garden to listen to plays. Those who were able to enter were all well-known people, and I've only heard that this garden has a lot of history! "
Zhao Jing frowned. "Who's the owner of this garden?"
Zhao Yuannan tried hard to recall, "It seems like his last name is..."
