Dongfang Wenming and Zhong Fu were talking inside the hall, so Zhao Jing naturally didn't enter. He was only waiting for Dongfang Wenming to come out before they met.

Dongfang Wenming looked at Zhao Jing and felt a strange awkwardness. The way the little girl looked at him was as if he had done something shameful behind her back. After taking a deep breath, Dongfang Wenming looked coldly at Zhao Jing. "This subject has already made clear what should be said. I hope that Your Majesty can act with dignity!" With that, he bowed, "This humble official will take his leave!"

Zhao Jing stood on the spot. He didn't even say a single word before leaving without even turning his head back. It was as if he was holding back his anger.

"Your Majesty, it seems like the Regent is angry?" Wei Shuge frowned.

Zhao Yuannan nodded again and again. "If we anger the Regent, will we vent our anger on the Emperor?"

Zhao Jing massaged the space between her eyebrows. If the anger they were referring to was the bad habit of Dongfang Wenming's' tiny hands and feet ', then she feared that she might not be able to handle it. Since their return from the north of the river, Dongfang hadn't seen Cobalt and Zhong Fu, just like how a dog would when it saw a cat. He wanted to tear them apart. As Zhao Jing looked at Dongfang Wenming's fearful expression towards Zhong Fu, he felt that something was amiss that had fallen into Zhong Zhangtian's hands.

"Why are you up?" Zhao Jing had already raised his head, just in time to see Zhong Fu run to the entrance of the hall to look around. He only felt that Zhong Fu's appearance was extremely comical and laughable. Zhao Jing looked Zhong Fu up and down. "What? You can't bear to part with the Regent. Do you want me to invite your father back?"

Hearing this, Zhong Fu grabbed Zhao Jing's hand and pulled her into the hall without a word.

Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan were both startled. If they hadn't known about what had happened in Jiangbei and that Zhong Fu wouldn't have hurt Zhao Jing, Wei Shuge wouldn't have tolerated the stranger to be alone with Zhao Jing. The others didn't know Zhao Jing's true identity, but Wei Shuge was well aware of it. As Zhao Jing grew older, something that he shouldn't have touched gradually corroded a person's heart. It made Zhao Jing's female characteristics all the more obvious, and thus … Anyone who came into contact with this person would definitely put Zhao Jing in danger.

This time, Zhao Jing was truly unable to see through Zhong Fu's thoughts. He could only hear the door behind him slam shut as Zhong Fu dragged her to the rear window. Zhao Jing looked at Zhong Fu with a puzzled expression. Zhong Fu's complexion was a little pale, and his eyes burned with a fiery light. Even his breathing was a bit ragged. If you don't know, you might think that you're an assassin, but luckily, Shuge withdrew her hand in time.

After saying this, Zhao Jing pushed him away and let out a breath. He then stood up with his hands behind his back, "In this period of time, you should continue to raise me in the palace. I, the nominal emperor, have no other abilities. When you get better, we will send you out of the palace and return to Phoenix City! "

"Didn't you say that you were unhappy about being the emperor? Didn't you say that you just wanted to be a good doctor? " Zhong Fu took a step forward. "Are those words lying to me?"

"From the bottom of my heart, but... "I can't help it!" Zhao Jing looked at him with a slightly gloomy expression. "It's just like how you were born famous as the Crown Prince's son. From the moment you were born, you didn't have any other choice."

Zhong Fu was silent, not saying a word.

"I'm afraid that I won't have any sincere friends. You and I can be considered as friends in times of trouble, so I don't want anything to happen to you!" Even if the Regent or the Prime Minister were to put pressure on you, I hope that you would be sent back by me. Zhao Jing's voice turned hoarse. "Zhong Fu, you shouldn't have come to the capital. This place doesn't care about food and bones. Every inch of your life is filled with bones. In Phoenix City, you are the young master of a high and mighty family, but here, you are nothing more than a fish on a chopping block! "

"At the moment, Cobalt still doesn't know you're in the palace, so of course the Qi family didn't make a move." Dongfang Wenming is standing behind me. He won't do anything to you for the sake of my throne! "However, Qi Yunshan will be back in two days. If he finds out that you are in the palace, all the circumstances will change and he will be out of my control. When that day comes, I won't be able to protect you anymore!"

Zhong Fu looked at her and said in an exceptionally serious tone, "Then let me protect you!"

Zhao Jing chuckled. "This isn't Phoenix City!" She let out a long breath. "I will have Shuge leave the closest Hall of Dawn open for you, you can stay there temporarily! As long as the east is not clear, he will not let anyone find out where you are for the time being.

"Why can't I be with you? Just because Dongfang didn't say anything out loud to threaten me, you don't dare to stay with me anymore? " Zhong Fu said with a stern face, "You are the Emperor, why are you afraid of those ministers? So what if it was a puppet? Right now, the one who resides in the world is you, and the one that the people approve of is also you. As long as you issue an order, then wouldn't those who offend their superiors be killed as soon as they deserve to die? "

Zhao Jing's eyes were clear as he scrutinized them. "It seems like the crown prince has never experienced the feeling of seeing his loved ones being killed one by one." I saw with my own eyes that my mother was killed by those disloyal officials you spoke of! At that time, I was only ten years old and had just ascended to the throne. Before the throne had even warmed up, my mother had already become the bones beneath my feet. My mountains and rivers were exchanged with my mother's life. Even if I were to die on this throne, I cannot let go of the Da Xia mountains and rivers my mother gave me! "

"I think I see what you mean!"

"You still haven't told me why you've come to the capital." Zhao Jing sat down. "Of course. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you!" Disregarding your status and mine, our friendship still exists! But I still have to say the ugly words first, Zhong Fu … I only hope that one day, you and I will not become the greatest enemies! I don't have any friends, so I don't want to lose you. "

"I, Zhong Fu, am a man of my words. No matter what happens, I will protect you!" Zhong Fu suddenly took a step forward and hugged Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing froze on the spot, dumbstruck. The aura of a man suddenly assaulted his nose. Other than Dongfang Wenming, no one else had ever dared to touch her like this! At that moment, Zhao Jing's mind went blank. His body reacted instinctively, pushing Zhong Fu away.

Zhong Fu was already wounded. After being pushed by Zhao Jing, he immediately fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

"Chung Fu?" Zhao Jing snapped out of his daze and hurriedly helped him up, allowing him to lean against the soft couch. I'm used to being on guard in this palace. No matter who touches me, I'll … I'm sorry! "Where are you hurt?"

Zhong Fu was in so much pain that his facial features were twisted, but he still waved his hand, "N-no problem, manly man, a little injury is nothing!"

"It's really fine?" Zhao Jing stared at him, his brows twisting slightly. "I'll have the imperial physician come and take a look!"

"No need, no need!" Zhong Fu became anxious.

It just so happened that there was a knock on the door. Zhao Yuannan's voice came from the outside, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Emissaries of the four sides are all requesting an audience!"

Zhao Jing's body trembled. "Lord Nangong?" Leaving Zhong Fu behind, Zhao Jing quickly left the chamber. "This Nangong …" "But Nangong Zhe?"

"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan saluted, "Senior Nangong came with the Prime Minister. The two of them do not look too good, probably because they are here for the case of the top scorer! Your Majesty, do you want to see him? "

"I would actually like to see what kind of person Nangong Zhe is!" "I've heard many legends about him before. The rumors were so vivid and vivid that they almost made him look like a man with three heads and six arms!" Zhao Jing smiled coldly. "Let's go. I'll take you guys to join in the fun!"

"Your majesty, be careful!" Wei Shuge lowered her voice.

Zhao Jing, on the other hand, didn't think so. A man's heart is separated from his stomach. Three people playing alone would definitely be easier to deal with than two people playing together. Zhao Jing left very quickly, so much so that he had forgotten about Zhong Fu.

Zhong Fu stood at the entrance of the palace hall, gazing at the direction where Zhao Jing had disappeared. The light in his eyes dimmed slightly. "Didn't you ask me why I've come to the capital?" "Zhao Jing, you idiot!" He sighed lightly, but his heart felt warm. He thought to himself, this capital wasn't as scary as Zhao Jing said it was. At the very least, he still had a warm enough reason, didn't he?

At the entrance of the Imperial study, Zhao Jing violently sneezed.

"Your majesty?" Wei Shuge was taken aback. "Did you catch a cold?"

Zhao Jing shook his head. "Let them in!" I would like to hear what they have to say. "

"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan saluted and immediately went to summon them.

Within the imperial study, the fragrance of tea wafted in the air.

This was the first time Zhao Jing had seen the head of the Four Great Sects, Nangong Zhe! He was just like his name suggested, filled with the aura of drunkenness. He had just stepped into the royal study when Zhao Jing's sensitive nose caught a whiff of his scent. She couldn't help but smack her lips and mutter under her breath, "Crabapple and pear are drunk!"

Even though Nangong was over 30 years old, he was still alone. If it wasn't for the fact that he was wearing the clothes of a four-sided door, people would probably treat him like a beggar if they met each other on the street. His disheveled hair and his face was covered in stubble. When he walked, he was also shaking, making him look like a complete drunkard. After entering, he didn't even greet Zhao Jing. Instead, he gave a loud and clear burp, and then woodenly raised his eyes to size up Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing looked at the scarlet red in his eyes. This was the sign that the alcohol had not passed! Was the sect leader of the four great gates behaving like this? What about the legendary figure? Even if he didn't have three heads and six arms, he should at least have some sense of propriety, right? Even if he was thrown into a crowd of beggars, no one would doubt his appearance.

Public constables, is that it?

Zhao Jing felt a headache coming on as he rubbed his glabella in displeasure.

However, it was Cobb who bowed gracefully and said, "This humble subject wishes to kowtow to you. Long live the Emperor! Long live and long live the Emperor!"

Nangong Zhe staggered and as he saluted, he suddenly fell to the ground. His forehead heavily knocked against the stairs, producing a "dong" sound. Damn it! Long live the Emperor! "

"Lord Nangong?" Cobalt frowned, and his face gradually darkened.

However, Zhao Jing couldn't help but laugh at Nangong Zhe's teasing. He squatted down and looked at Nangong Zhe who was just sitting on the ground, "What wine did you drink? He smells so good! Can you tell me about it? "

Nangong Zhe made a sound of acknowledgement, and his brows furrowed into the shape of a river. He raised his head and laughed dryly at Zhao Jing, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink wine?" Do you know which teahouse's wine is the best to drink in this capital? "

"I would like to hear more about it!" Zhao Jing simply sat beside him. When he lifted the wine cup, Zhao Jing's eyes lit up.

Nangong Zhe laughed maniacally, "The Residence of Yun!"

Cobalt's expression changed abruptly as he snapped, "Nangong Zhe, you're too presumptuous!"
