As soon as Cobb returned to his mansion, he was summoned to the palace. At the thought of entering the palace, Cobb's eyebrows shot up. When the emperor was not in court, the administration of the court fell into the hands of the six yamen and the Residence of Regent. Even if there were matters to attend to, there was no need for the Prime Minister to attend to them.

Fuzi was puzzled. "What's wrong with you, Master?" When the Emperor invited you to the palace, why weren't you happy? " Face to face was a good thing, but why did the master of his household seem to be in a difficult position?!

"The emperor has a hound by his side!" "It's not good to say that you don't feel good to talk about it. From time to time, you even have to come out and take a bite of me. The least you can do is howl. Whose heart will feel good?"

Fuzi froze for a moment. "Why are there such ferocious beasts in the palace?"

"You're right!" It's a ferocious beast! " Cobb sighed. "Well, you wouldn't understand!" Even though he said that, the annoyance on his face did not decrease. Every time he came out of the palace, he would meet Dongfang Mingming who was rushing into the palace. This fellow's words were always loaded with bullets and sticks, as if he, Cobb, had stolen Dongfang's heart and heart.

The news of Cobb's summons to the palace naturally did not escape the unidentified eyes of the East.

Early in the morning, Zhou Zhiqian felt that his master's face wasn't looking too good. His spirit was exploding, and it looked as if he didn't like anyone who looked at him. After reporting about the case history of the top scorer, Zhou Zhizhi cautiously asked, "Master, what should we do next?" There's no news from the crown prince that the top scholar has been killed. Who knows who will be next? "

Dongfang Buming slammed the cup in his hand onto the table. "A bunch of useless trash!"

Zhou Zhizhi hastily bowed, "Your humble servant is useless, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"Has there been any news from Han Dong?" Dongfang Wenming stood up and walked into the yard. He looked at the orchids that filled the yard and then looked up at the splendid day. It was clearly a warm and sunny day, but why was he feeling so depressed?

"Not yet!" Zhou Zhizhi lowered his head, "This trip to the Frontier Pass is a long one, I must have been delayed!"

Dongfang Wenming took two steps before he stopped and turned back to look at Zhou Zhiqiang, "Did Cobalt really enter the palace?"

Upon being asked this question, Zhou Zhiqian was stunned and nodded his head slowly, "Yes …" "But Master …"

"Humph!" Dongfang Wenming walked with his hands behind his back. He took a step forward and never looked back again. "How evil, how lawless!"

Zhou Zhiqian frowned and muttered to himself, "What happened to me?" The emperor had sent someone to greet him, saying that it was to … "Master!" Zhou Zhizi hurried to catch up. Seeing that his master's complexion wasn't good, he had to hurry up and follow. Otherwise, it would be terrible if something really happened! Looking at the direction in which his master was riding, it seemed like it was the Imperial Palace? The palace!

In the royal study room, Cobb respectfully bowed. "Long live our Emperor!"

Zhao Jing glanced at the crabapple pear on the table. "I presume you don't plan on letting the Ministry of Justice interfere in the new scholar's case. Those wineskin bags can't find anything, so you still have to intervene!" "I've heard that Nangong Zhe likes to drink wine. This jar of wine is my personal possession, and this is the only one!"

Cobb breathed a sigh of relief. However, he hesitated, "Why did the emperor send this subject to deliver wine to Lord Nangong? Since it's an Imperial Wine, we can't allow Eunuch He to send it.

"I am the emperor, how can I condescend to lower myself to the nobility?" Although Zhao Jing had said that, he was actually implying that even if she hadn't said it, Ke Er had a good idea of what he was doing. If the Emperor was too pleased with his subjects, it would be equivalent to placing him at the heart of the struggle, especially since Zhao Jing didn't have any real power. It could be seen that Zhao Jing wanted to use him to rope in Nangong Zhe. Or perhaps, it would be better to have another friend than an enemy!

"Isn't the emperor worried?" He reached out his hand to brush the wine jug on the table. "Perhaps this official will …"

"This is my darling bone. If you dare to take it all for yourself, I'll let you vomit it out just like that!" Zhao Jing smiled as he walked in front of Cobalt. He closed his eyes and sniffed, as if he could smell the fragrance of the wine in the jar.

"This humble subject really doesn't know that the emperor is so fond of wine!"

"Wine is good stuff, but from the tone of my beloved official, the Prime Minister doesn't usually drink much, right?" Zhao Jing smiled.

Kobold nodded, "This thing is not very enjoyable to drink. Drinking too much will easily cause you to be disappointed. It's easy to feel uncomfortable when you're not drunk, but it's easy to get into trouble when you're drunk. It's not a good thing after all, so we might as well just not drink it! "

"Later, when I have a good drink with you, you will know that it is not the wrong person to drink with you! You've found the right person. White water to store the wine's fragrance, a thousand cups of your best friend is too little! " Zhao Jing stared at the jar of wine with a bit of regret. "You can take this with you, but you don't have to tell him it's mine. It's my gift to you. Just give it to him!" I … I believe in you! "

The words "believe you" caused Ke Er to be startled. He silently stared at Zhao Jing.

After a long while, Ke Er said, "Your majesty has treated this subject well. This humble subject will do everything in his power to not disappoint Your majesty's trust!" As he said this, he withdrew the light in his eyes and no longer looked at Zhao Jing. "This official has entered the official's office to seek peace and harmony in this world for the welfare of the people and to allow the common people to live a peaceful life!" "Your majesty the Emperor, this subject will definitely support Your Majesty. Even if I die, I must protect my master, Jiang Shan. May Hai Yan and He Qing live forever!"

With that, Cobb bowed respectfully.

Zhao Jing patted his shoulder. "I believe you!"

"This subject... "The emperor can be so trusting …" Cobb hesitated.

Zhao Jing laughed. "Truly a despicable person. Don't be a hypocrite!" Truly, a vile person is much better than a hypocrite. I believe that everyone has their own methods at times, not only you, but also me. "My beloved one and I can be considered the same kind of person, so I must have come to an understanding regarding what my beloved one is thinking in her heart!"

Cobalt slightly raised his lips, his handsome face brimming with a young smile. When their gazes met, his gaze became gentle. He actually felt a sense of empathy towards the little Emperor. Zhao Jing made him feel like he was being valued and understood. He was friends, close friends. Life is hard to be a confidant, a good foal jubilee.

When Dongfang Wenming came in, he happened to see the two of them standing face to face. Neither of them said anything, but there was definitely something wrong with their eyes! Dongfang Wenming coughed, and the two of them immediately withdrew their eyebrows and stared at each other. This time, Dongfang Wenming felt that there was a big problem! The two of them were mesmerized by what they saw?

"This official will take his leave!" Cobb saluted.

Zhao Jing nodded. "You may leave!" She knew that Dongfang was very suspicious, and that if he knew that Cobb had been summoned to the palace, he would come to see what was going on. The timing of the arrival of Dongfang Wenming was also perfect. He just so happened to see Zhao Jing and Ke Boya conversing with each other. The misgivings he had in his heart towards Ke Er Cong must be even greater! Zhao Jing was fully confident. If this happened, then the meeting in the East would be even more intense and the fight between the two of them would be even more intense!

Cobb took the jug and left, and the study door closed behind him.

Zhao Jing looked innocently at Dongfang Wenming. This bastard's expression was simply too ugly. Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jing was the first to open his mouth and smile. "Father Zhong, what's going on?" You've come in such a hurry, is there something urgent? "

"What did Cobb call for?" Dongfang Wenming asked coldly.

Zhao Jing thought to himself, if a traitor didn't even have to bow, could it be that he was truly angered? But she had done nothing but order a jar of wine for Cobb, and he had seen it all. Then what was there to be angry about? Zhao Jing coughed lightly, "I was just giving him a jar of wine to get him to investigate the case of the top scorer. What's wrong with that?"

Dongfang Wenming's face was cold as he stared at the little girl in front of him, who was smiling mischievously. There was nothing wrong with that, but when she closed the door with Cobb, the smile in their eyes was wrong.

"Father Zhong, what's going on?" Zhao Jing pursed her lips and stared at him blankly. Then, she suddenly became wild with joy. "Father Zhong entered the palace in such a hurry. Could it be that he discovered the whereabouts of Zhong Fu?"

The little girl had a really big heart. She was pretending to be Cobb, while she was also pretending to be Zhong Fu. In the future, who knew how many pretty boys she would have in the stronghold. Sometimes Dongfang Mingming really wanted to cut open her heart and see how many pineapples there were.

Dongfang Wenming took a deep breath. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that the Emperor is still the sovereign of the country after all. As for the matter of the four-sided door, even if Cobb didn't want to, he would still show some face. Is the Emperor deliberately summoning Cobb down the steps? " Who didn't know that Cobb had a feud with the Four Directions Gate!

"Since you want to pull Uncle Ke over from Qiyun Mountain, I must spend more effort to please him. Aren't you doing this for your father's sake?" But from the look on his face, he does not seem happy at all! " Zhao Jing pouted. "If Father Zhong isn't happy, then wouldn't it be a waste of my time?" "He even gave up on our favorite plum blossoms!"

Dongfang Wenming opened his mouth and looked at her drooping face. He then swallowed the harsh words that were about to reach his mouth. The little girl had grown up. If her pride was hurt, she would probably be angry for a long time. After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Wenming changed the topic. "Speaking of plum and pear, this humble subject still remembers that the emperor once promised this subject something. I don't know if the emperor still cares about it?"

With a thump in his heart, Zhao Jing raised his head and stared at him. After running through her memories and even her words, she suddenly thought back to that day when her peach blossoms were dazzling, and a dark red color covered the entire field.

"I naturally remember that when the peach blossoms bloom next year, I will make full use of that promise!" Zhao Jing looked at him with slanted eyes.

So she still remembered! Dongfang Wenming felt much more comfortable. It was evident that the little girl wasn't lying to him.

Zhao Jing broke out in a cold sweat. The East didn't know what this meant. Was he trying to trick her? Or test her? And now? Did she pass? He didn't know if Dongfang Ming was satisfied with this answer.

"If this humble subject remembers correctly, this crabapple and pear wine should belong to Master Shi, right?" The East did not sit down in a hurry.

Zhao Jing was startled. "That's right, I shamelessly asked him for it!" It was just two pots, yet he was willing to part with one now. It felt like his heart was being cut by a knife. What a nuisance it was to have Cobb summon them to do it, and save Father Zhong the trouble. It was fortunate that I had sacrificed my beloved item, but in the end, Father Zhong did not appreciate it! In the future, I will no longer care about Father Zhong's matters. No matter what Father Zhong wants to do … "Ah …

Zhao Jing's waist suddenly tightened as his body floated in the air. He couldn't help but shriek.
