Nangong Zhe was not an idiot. He disdained interacting with the people in the court, but that did not mean that he could not move his mind. Thus, Nangong Zhe was able to grasp the meaning behind Dongfang Wenming's words.
They said, Where is he?
Nangong Zhe had met everyone in this room before. What Dongfang Wenming was looking for was definitely not Zhao Jing's subordinates because these people were currently standing at the entrance. It was also impossible for it to be Cai Wei. She would definitely not do anything and would definitely not leave the Emerald Cloud Restaurant. Dongfang Wenming definitely wouldn't ask him for a girl from a brothel right here!
The only possibility was that the young man dressed as a woman had mentioned by Cai Wei. Dongfang Wenming was looking for the youth that the young emperor had hidden away. Judging from how Dongfang Wenming spoke so harshly, this young man's identity must not be simple! It was a pity that Nangong Zhe had never seen the young man before. Otherwise, he could have made a guess that there was no clue at all. However, he was unable to figure out what was going on.
"Who is it?" Nangong Zhe remained calm and collected.
Dongfang Wenming looked around, "Search!" Zhao Jing had left the palace with Zhong Fu. Zhong Fu's whereabouts were unknown, but Nangong Zhe was still waiting in his room. Zhao Jing had already fallen asleep. Naturally, he wouldn't wake her up, lest she get a headache from being drunk. But Nangong Zhe … He was merely the Sect Leader of the Four Directions Sect. In the end, he was still just a servant. To act so recklessly just because of a Gold Medallion, that was simply preposterous!
Zhou Zhiqian searched the entire pavilion but there was nothing he could find. The crown prince had obviously entered the Emerald Cloud Restaurant, yet he had disappeared into thin air. This was simply unbelievable! How could a living person disappear? Someone must have hidden it. Currently, the biggest suspect was naturally Nangong Zhe. After all, by the time they entered, the emperor was already drunk, but Nangong Zhe was still conscious!
Those who were drunk would not hide; only those who were sober would scheme!
"Master, I can't find it!" Zhou Zhizhi bowed.
"Nangong Zhe, you're in big trouble!" Dongfang Wenming carried Zhao Jing as they left.
"Wait!" Nangong Zhe asked coldly, "May I ask the Regent, what mistake has this official committed?"
"Think about it carefully!" Dongfang Cunming stepped out of the door.
The great hall had long since quietened down. Everyone had been blocked by the soldiers of the Regent's Manor, leaving a wide path in the middle. Seeing Dongfang Wenming carrying a young man, everyone quickly kneeled down and didn't dare to make a sound. They did not recognize Zhao Jing, but they did recognize the face of Dongfang Wenming. The master of the Residence of Regent, the regent of the dynasty, the emperor's father, which one of them didn't recognize? Who would dare act rashly in front of him?
After Dongfang Wenming carried Zhao Jing onto the carriage and left, everyone realized that something wasn't quite right. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. The two men embraced each other. No wonder the Regent was so old and didn't even have a woman by his side. He only had his own domineering side all day long.
So it turned out that the Prince didn't like women, but the Prince liked delicate and tender youths?
This was an incredible discovery. Those who had come to the Cloud Jadeite Restaurant to visit the brothels were common folk. With so many pairs of eyes watching Dongfang Wenming carry Zhao Jing out, it didn't take long before the news spread throughout the entire capital! Everyone was watching the lively scene, and the story would be brilliant.
However, Nangong Zhe's expression was also very wonderful. After Dongfang Caiming led his people away from the Emerald Cloud Restaurant, Nangong Zhe calmed down and thought of something. It was like what the little emperor had said before … The little Emperor said that the young lady went to the Nangong family?! His body stiffened, and Nangong Zhe was overwhelmed with shock. Could it be that what that suicidal ancestor had said was true?!
In the next moment, Nangong Zhe rushed out of the door.
Caiwei stopped him outside. "Brother, what's going on?" Why would the people from the Residence of Regent come searching for him with such fanfare? Who were they searching for? "Could it be that the aunt …"
"Shh!" Nangong Zhe interrupted her words in time, "Hold these words in your stomach. Do not mention them to anyone. Otherwise, the Regent's Mansion will not let this matter rest. Wei'er, pay attention to the movements of the Yun Cui Curie. If there is any news of that girl, inform me immediately! I have to go back and take a look. I feel that this matter is not that simple, as if I've walked into a trap! "
Caiwei's expression suddenly changed. "Brother, you mean …"
"Literally!" Nangong Zhe's face darkened, "I'll head back first."
"Be careful. If you need anything, just come find me!"
Nangong did not answer and rushed back home in a hurry. Who knew that the moment he stepped out of the front door of the Emerald Cloud Residence, he would see a familiar face flashing across the crowd. Nangong Zhe was startled, "It's him?!" However, when he looked more carefully, there was nothing left. Was it an illusion? This person ran too fast. All the suspicious people that had appeared near the Emerald Cloud Residence had a reason to doubt them.
Forget it, let's not think about this for now. He had to hurry home. That little emperor who was messing around, it was best not to use 'golden words'. Otherwise, the Regent's Estate would definitely place this sum of money on his, Nangong Zhe's, head. He was just having fun, yet he was being coquettish. The weight of this shit was not light at all!
If this person was truly in his own home, Nangong Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The little Emperor must be smiling, he thought.
Indeed, Zhao Jing was smiling as he lay on the soft couch in his room. He hugged his pillow as he lay there with his eyes closed.
When Wei Shuge came in with the soup, Dong Fuming reached out to take it, "All of you, go down. No one is needed here!" With that, he acted as if he was going to add something, and continued, "You and Vixen should return to the palace to make the arrangements. Otherwise, the palace will be in chaos! When the emperor wakes up, this king will personally send him back! "
"Yes sir!" Wei Shuge nodded.
Wei Shuge knew better than anyone that Zhao Jing wasn't drunk. However, why did Zhao Jing pretend to be drunk? Wei Shuge thought to herself, probably because of Zhong Fu. It would be difficult for Zhong Fu to leave the city, because the soldiers outside the city were either from the Jing'an Estates or the Residence of Regent. If he wanted to escape the city gate inspection, he would need to find a safe person. As for this reliable person, he was of course the leader of the Four Great Sects, Nangong Zhe!
There had always been only four doors to investigate others. When would it ever be someone else's turn to check the four doors? After all, the people from all four sides were all important cases, and some of them even involved royalty, so it was possible that they would lose their heads.
Zhao Jing pouted. "Can I drink some water?" You don't drink the sobering soup? "
"No way!" Dongfang Wenming rubbed her little head, "After drinking the sobering soup, you'll only wake up with a headache when you wake up." He felt an inexplicable sense of regret. "You're not allowed to go to that kind of place in the future!"
"What kind of place?" Zhao Jing curled his lips and spat out the smell of alcohol on his face. The smell of alcohol made him frown. His expression amused her, making her giggle like a child. That foolish appearance was just like a fool in the countryside.
Dongfang Wenming massaged his forehead with a headache. This girl … He took a deep breath and then looked coldly at Zhao Jing. "You're really drunk?"
Zhao Jing shook his head. "I'm not drunk! Bring me a few more jars of wine, I promise that I'll finish them all for you! " She grinned at him. "Do you want to try?" Normally, one would only say that they were not drunk when they were drunk!
"Remember, you are not allowed to go to brothels in the future." Dongfang Wenming tucked her in. "And what about the famous Crown Prince? Where did you get the crown prince? He gave it to Nangong Zhe? Or did he run away by himself? "
"Who is the renowned Crown Prince?" Zhao Jing rubbed his face and asked foolishly, "Can I eat persimmon?" The persimmon of the famed king is very delicious? "
Dongfang Wenming was very agitated, but he had to endure it as much as he could when facing this stupid thing. It was said that he spouted truths after drinking wine, maybe this little thing would tell the truth, "Crown Prince! It's not a persimmon to eat, but the prince of the famed Phoenix City's Duke Palace, Zhong Fu! " He deliberately bit the word 'Zhong Fu' too hard.
"Oh, that kid Zhongfu?" Zhao Jing took a sip. It was fortunate that Dongfang Xi had reacted quickly, otherwise, he would have vomited saliva all over his body. He was so shocked that Dongfang Buming quickly stood up and quickly stood to the side. He didn't dare to sit by the side of the bed. He felt that it was too dirty …
"Right, where did Zhongfu go?" Dongfang asked.
Zhao Jing blinked. His eyeballs were about to pop out from their sockets, but he still couldn't think of anything. She stared at Dongfang Wenming with a stupefied expression. "Zhongfu is a good person. He said that he's going to take me away to Phoenix City to live a new life and be free and unfettered …" She scratched her head. "Later on, when Nangong drunk came, Zhong Fu didn't know …"
As she spoke, all that was left of her was the sound of her breathing.
Dongfang Wenming opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He stood for a moment, then walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. Closing the door, Zhou Zhiqian waited outside and immediately saluted.
After a long sigh, Dongfang Wenming indicated for him to walk far away so as to not disturb Zhao Jing's rest.
In the corridor, the master and the servant stood facing each other.
"Master, after searching all over the Cloud Emerald Residence, I couldn't find any trace of the crown prince." However, we don't dare to go looking for him in such a grand manner. If the Prime Minister finds out, he will definitely cause a huge disturbance. "Right now, there are so many unknown forces in the capital. If we act recklessly, we will only give them the chance to make a move!" Zhou Zhizhi said.
The East did not know of this interest, but the matter was urgent, and it was impossible not to look for it. Zhao Jing had given him a difficult problem, a huge one! It was not easy to solve this problem. After all, Qi Yun Mountain was on the way back. The mastermind who had helped Qi Yun Mountain design such a trap was still lying in wait in the capital. He had to be on guard!
"Keep an eye on Nangong Zhe, but don't touch him for now!" Dongfang Wenming gave the order. "I'm afraid he was set up by someone else, but it's hard to guarantee that those people won't play the trick. They will use Nangong Zhe's identity and the Gold Medallion to prevent his death."
"This lowly subordinate understands!" Zhou Zhiqian bowed. "Then the emperor …"
"He should be drunk!" Dongfang didn't know that he had never been drunk before, so he didn't know what it was like to be drunk. Of course, he didn't know how awkward it was to be drunk. However, looking at Zhao Jing's current appearance, Dongfang Buming felt that he didn't want to get drunk for the rest of his life. That sort of appearance was truly unacceptable. What happened to the warm as jade that they talked about? As if he was a wine maniac, he was just like a fool!
Zhou Zhizhi nodded, "This lord is causing a ruckus at the Emerald Martial Palace. I'm afraid we can't hide it from the prime minister. Should we do something about it?"
"Countermeasures?" Dongfang Wenming glanced at the tightly shut door, "If Cobb dares to move, then the one inside will make him unable to bear the consequences!" This little girl's fighting strength was too extreme. If he made her panic, then other people would be too desperate. She would be a lazy ass rolling around on the floor, but who would be the one to be unlucky! Therefore, do not reason with a woman, regardless if she is the emperor or not, she is only twelve years old!
