Zhao Jing ground his teeth. "Father Zhong's way of speaking is really light. It's as if I have three heads and six arms." She glanced at him in disdain and snorted, "You just came to the palace and you've already lost her. What else can I do? The empress normally looked pitifully foolish, but at this crucial moment, she became an extremely intelligent monkey. Even her underlings had become elites! "I've always thought that the empress was a useless scum, but now I know that I've misjudged her. How could a woman from the Qi Family be a simple person?"

"That Hu Feng left the Grand Dominance Sect and got into a carriage. He is completely unaware of the rest. Since your father knows, why didn't you personally make a move? You're not here to make fun of me today! It is really infuriating to see that there is not even a single hair left on the duck that has been cooked! " As he spoke, Zhao Jing pouted in jealousy and displeasure, his face full of unquenchable anger.

Even though he said this, Zhao Jing was still extremely nervous. From the looks of it, Dongfang Wenming should have known about Qi Ruyu's connection with the outside of the palace. However, he had concealed it and only waited for Zhao Jing to be the vanguard. Since that was the case, then Dongfang Wenyi should know that Zhao Jing really didn't have any advantages this time.

The East did not know that he was asking because he already knew the answer. He must have some plan! Trying to see if she was deliberately betraying him? Or did he already know that he would use this opportunity to teach her a lesson?

Zhao Jing couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind. Qi Ruyu was not an intelligent person. Suddenly knowing how to hide one's strength, it was very difficult to not arouse suspicion. Someone was instigating her from behind. It was likely that Dongfang Mingyue had also suspected that it was either Ke Bo or Qi Yunshan's hidden guards that had left behind in the capital to pass down the order for Qi Yunshan to do something.

However, Qi Ruyu had involved the Qi family in the case of the top scorer, so she had rushed to the Qianyuan Palace to plead for mercy. This had puzzled Zhao Jing. Wasn't this just asking for a beating too stupid? Could it be that Qi Ruyu really did not know about this case? So much so that even Qi Ruyu did not know that she herself was only a chess piece on the board and did not even know about such an important piece of news?!

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry over such a small matter. Although the empress is an honorable empress, in the end, she's still just an embroidered pillow, and won't be able to create a climate for herself. This time, I was unable to find the person behind her. There's still the next time, she won't be able to do it no matter what! "

Zhao Jing only saw the faint smile on the corner of his lips. He was truly unable to see through the true feelings of the unfathomable Dongfang Jingming. This person is used to being so deep. If you really want to compete with him, you will only lose. To him, every step he took was a precaution, so how could he make any mistakes? Therefore, in front of the eastern region, Zhao Jing was just acting like a young girl who didn't know much about the affairs of the world. Occasionally, he would act smart, but that was only to prove the value of his existence.

Puppets couldn't just be puppets, they also had to have the character of a puppet. If it was just a lump of wood, then it would be better to place a wooden sculpture on the dragon throne! Puppets also needed flesh and blood! Zhao Jing was doing his best to become a qualified puppet.

"Father Zhong, why don't you just watch yourself? You're just picking up stuff off the ground. You really don't care about face!" Zhao Jing turned around and unhappily snorted twice. He stretched out his hand to pick up the copper coin and teased Candle's heart, "Father Zhong, did you really come to the palace today to eat with me? Or did you come here just to keep an eye on Crown Prince Jing? " She turned around, her eyes bright. "Are you really afraid that Zhen will do something dishonorable to the Crown Prince?"

Dongfang Wenming felt bored, so he walked up to her and grabbed the copper in her hand. "Your Majesty said …" "What is it?"

Zhao Jing stared blankly for a moment. The space between his eyebrows was slightly twisted. "I …" I'm just joking with you. How, how did you take Father Zhong seriously? "

He suddenly took a big step forward, causing Zhao Jing to immediately retreat. His back pressed heavily against the table, causing her to immediately suck in a breath of cold air from the pain. The next moment, Dongfang Wenming quickly pulled her into his arms, and then he saw the corner of the table behind her with a dark face. The man in his arms curled up slightly. He felt like he was in real pain.

Dongfang Wenming quickly carried her to the soft couch and laid her on her side. Then, he reached out his hand and slowly stroked her back. Zhao Jing's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. He was in so much pain that his face had turned slightly pale. His slightly sullen voice entered his ears, "As a Monarch, you are always so impatient. Didn't you see how sharp that table is?" His palm pressed down unerringly on her wound. "Don't move, you have to rub it open a bit. Otherwise, if you sink the blood, the lump won't dissipate!"

"Chi!" Zhao Jing was in excruciating pain. "Softer!" "It hurts!"

Dongfang Wenming's expression turned even more unsightly. "In the emperor's eyes, is this humble subject that frightening?"

"Caught off guard, I was just given a fright!" Zhao Jing grabbed the blanket beneath him. "Be gentle, be gentle!" Even though he couldn't personally see where she was hitting, he was still able to pinpoint the location of her wounds. Zhao Jing felt a chill run down his spine. With her mind and heart, this traitor knew them like the back of her hand. If this went on for too long, it would only make it harder for her to move a single step.

Zhao Jing thought to himself, in the future, he wouldn't dare to get too close to the eastern region. Otherwise, he would be seen through even more and die without a burial ground.

"If you know the pain, then remember!" He said meaningfully, "I forgot the pain after I healed. It will still be on this scar for the rest of my life!"

When Zhao Jing heard the meaning behind his words, he truly didn't understand for a moment. "Father Zhong also fell for it?" Isn't it because of the woman? "

"Is the Emperor so interested?" His hand paused.

Zhao Jing curled his lips. "I was just randomly asking." She heard him exhale a long breath, then stood up and walked back and forth. "It is getting late, and His Majesty is resting well. "We don't need to go to the Crown Prince's place anymore. We should at least avoid trouble and avoid trouble. We didn't manage to get our hands on Sunset Man's words!"

While speaking, Dongfang Wenming had already left without even turning his head back.

Zhao Jing sat up, somewhat puzzled. As he thought about those unspoken words from the east, he felt a sense of helplessness and sadness that was difficult to put into words. However, would such a person who did not know whether to be soft or hard, who was used to killing others, be sad? 'Just now, she mentioned a woman. Could it be that this dog thief has really fallen head over heels on a woman?!

"Your majesty?" When Wei Shuge entered, Zhao Jing was still in a daze. "Your majesty, what happened to you?" The Regent left, but this servant saw that his expression didn't seem to be too good.

"The hero feels sad for the beauty test?" Zhao Jing mumbled to himself.

Wei Shuge was puzzled. "Your majesty, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Jing snapped out of his daze and grabbed Wei Shuge's arm. "The empress is trying her best to pull her back, but Dongfang Wenming didn't notice!" During this period of time, he'd told Fleeting Time not to act rashly, lest he exposed his identity. Tomorrow, ask Lord Shi to come visit us. We have something to ask him! "

"Yes sir!" Wei Shuge bowed as her face turned ashen. "Your majesty is saying that the Regent's Estate has discovered the matter of the Drunken Flower Red?"

Zhao Jing shook his head. "That's not true." She thought back on all the talk she had had with the East tonight, and it seemed to her that the traitor had been drunk from the start, not with Chung Fu, but with her. Back then, she hadn't been able to see it clearly, but now that she thought about it, Fang Jing broke out in a cold sweat. She really felt a lingering fear in her heart. Fortunately, she did not say too much between these words. It was unlikely that Dongfang Wenming would use this information!

So dangerous!

"Shuge, tell me, why don't you marry and have children? According to his current age, he should already have a large group of wives and grandchildren. "He is the only one left in the Dongfang family. It is only right that he should open up a branch and scatter the leaves. Only in this way can the Dongfang family grow stronger, and it will be beneficial for his struggle for power."

This question had really puzzled Wei Shuge. She was still alone in this world and had never experienced human love before. How could she not know why Dongfang Xi was not getting married? Wei Shuge frowned. "Perhaps she thinks that all the women in the world are unworthy of her and will only drag us down! After all, with his appearance and figure, could it be that he has some sort of secret disease? "

Zhao Jing had felt the unidentified "weapon" in the east, so the fact that he was hiding something was definitely wrong! Suddenly, she seemed to have understood something as if she had come to a sudden realization. "Could it be …"

"Could it be something else?" Wei Shuge asked hurriedly.

Zhao Jing lowered his voice. "Do you really think this is a hanky-panky? It's the best for Long Yang!" I'm afraid that the East has not taken a fancy to Zhong Fu. Otherwise, why would Zhong Fu feel so disgusted when he came into contact with me? "On the surface, you are trying to stop me, but in reality, I'm afraid you are doing it for Zhong Fu!"

Wei Shuge's eyes widened as she subconsciously touched her own arm. "Your majesty, don't say anymore. Your servant has goosebumps!"

Zhao Jing curled his lips. "Just a guess!" "What about the other side of the Chung Fu?"

"It's alright. I'll be fine. I'll be fine." Wei Shuge sighed. "It's just that the crown prince is disguised as a woman, so it's not a big deal! In the future, when the people of the palace ask, this humble woman will enter the palace without any reputation, and even live in the Dawn Hall. We can't say for sure! Moreover, once Tutor Qi returns to the capital, things might become even more troublesome. Even if the emperor wants to send his son out of the capital, he might not be able to do so! "

Zhao Jing nodded. "I also thought about it, so …" Tomorrow, when his injuries are better, I will find a reason to chase him out of the palace. You can let the Prime Minister's Palace and the Regent's Palace know that it was given away from the palace, but you must not let them know that it was your Demon Palace who did it! "

"This servant understands!" Wei Shuge nodded.

Only then would Zhao Jing be able to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Shi Zhonggu came to the imperial study early in the morning to wait for him. Under normal circumstances, if Zhao Jing didn't have something important to do, he definitely wouldn't come looking for him. The two of them had to keep a distance.

Shi Zhong Gu saluted and raised his head. He was slightly startled as he looked at Wu Qing and said, "Your majesty, what happened to you?" Seeing how pale you look, could it be that it's not the body of a saint that went against the rules? Should we ask for an imperial physician to come over and request for your safety vein? "

Zhao Jing shook his head and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "I called you here early in the morning because I wanted to ask you something. I hope that you can enlighten me!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Shi Zhonggu bowed.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jing's expression darkened as he asked, "I was just guessing when it came to the Regent. There's no need to take it seriously if it's wrong." She paused for a moment, and her words revealed an unexplainable anxiety, which even Zhao Jing himself could not detect. "In the East, there is no such thing as an unforgettable woman." "Such as your beloved girl?"

Shi Zhonggu's eyebrows rose in a barely visible fashion. He stroked his small mustache with some hesitation, and said with a thoughtful expression, "Your majesty …" Why did you suddenly ask about this? "

"There is? Or not? " Zhao Jing gripped his sleeves tightly, and his nails unconsciously dug into his palms.

Shi Zhonggu opened his mouth. "Your Majesty …"
