He didn't know why, but when Zhou Zizai saw his master like this, he felt that something was off. She kept feeling that her master, especially her brain and reaction speed, was not as straightforward as before, but her master seemed to … Right, there seemed to be a bond in his heart! His master had once said that when a person had constraints, they would be timid when doing things. In fact, many things were no longer as decisive as they were in the past.

Zhou Zhizhi felt that his master was just like this, no longer as decisive as before. All of his decisiveness was wasted on the little emperor. His every move and gesture was like he was facing a great enemy. The calmness and elegance of the past seemed to have become part of the past … If this went on, Master would fall deeper and deeper into the abyss. Zhou Zhizhong felt that Master would not be able to continue like this. He had to think of a way!

This was probably what they meant by "the onlooker is a fan".

By the time Dongfang Wenming returned to his room, that girl had already climbed onto the soft couch. It was probably because she didn't feel comfortable lying flat, so she was lying on the back of the soft couch. The young miss of a Venerable family wouldn't be able to find another person with such an ugly sleeping appearance! Fortunately, Dongfang Wenming was used to her sleeping posture. He walked over and pulled the Eight-Clawed Crab off the soft bed and carried it to the bed.

Just as he placed her on the bed, the man turned around and hummed twice. He then grabbed the pillow beside him and hugged it, his legs sticking out and his head tilted to the side as he slept soundly.

Dongfang Wenming frowned, "Aren't you afraid of the typhoid fever?" He carefully tucked her in. "With such a big person around, I still can't sleep soundly, and I can't stay by your side all the time. With your identity, you can't even let outsiders guard by your side.

He paused for some unknown reason and bitterly smiled as he mumbled to himself, "If I knew it would turn out like this, I might as well have killed you earlier, lest it becomes someone else's food!"

Zhao Jing's heart sank as the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

However, at this very moment, Nangong Zhe could not laugh. He knew that the wolf cub raised by Dongfang Wenming was restless. He was definitely restless! The Nangong Family did not have many people, but this was mostly because the Nangong Family was very poor!

Why was he so poor? Nangong Zu's ancestors were all from the four-sided martial arts school. There was not much oil in the four-sided martial arts world, and all of them were bachelors. There was no power or influence in their families, and that was all because of their passion for the justice of the world. The Nangong Clan was a clean and honest clan. They would never ally themselves with any officials of the imperial government. Therefore, the Nangong Clan had been poor for many years!

Other than the Nangong Residence that was bestowed by the royal family and the few servants who were kept by the officials, Nangong Zhe relied on his salary to support himself. However, he was loyal to his friends, and his friends were everywhere. When no friends came to visit, all of his money was left in the Emerald Cloud Restaurant, in place of the yellow soup in his mouth, and the wine fragrance in his dreams!

The butler stepped forward: "Master, you are back!"

The Nangong Residence was not big to begin with. After walking two steps through the corridor, they would arrive at Nangong Zhe's main courtyard. Before the person arrived, Nangong Zhe froze on the spot, "Why is the light in the bedroom on?"

The butler was surprised, "My lord doesn't know?" "Your friend said that he came to find you for help. It seems like something important has happened!"

"Then why didn't you go to the parlour and come to my room?" Even though there was nothing in his room, it was after all his personal property. It was hard to avoid the feeling of having his taboo broken just like that. After some thought, Nangong Zhe looked at the butler with a puzzled expression. "Butler, you …"

"Your excellency, you're very handsome. Although you can only see a pair of eyes while covering your face, we are thinking that if this young lady was with your excellency, she would definitely look good when she picks up the child that was born!"

"Bah!" Nangong Zhe spat. This bunch of old bastards had such thoughts in their minds every day. Was he, Nangong Zhe, such a person? He could not even finish worrying about the affairs of the country, how could he have the leisure to think about the matters of his children?

"Lord, you are no longer young. There are only us old servants in the Nangong family. We have been with the Nangong family for a lifetime, hoping that you would be able to open some new leaves for us!" The butler spoke earnestly.

Nangong Zhe glared at the two of them. I'm talking business, how come I go around a hundred thousand miles every time?

The granny's eyes reddened. "When Madam was still alive, you reminded me repeatedly that I must look after Young Noble and make Young Noble open up a branch for the Nangong Family. Our demands are not high. Young Master is only seventeen or eighteen! Besides, we old people are getting older and older. I'm afraid that we won't be able to see the day that young master dies! Young master … "Please do your best, and don't let us never see you again until we die. If that's the case, when the time comes, we old bones will not have the face to see old madam!"

With that, he changed the topic and rolled his eyes, "You don't have the face to meet the ancestors of the Nangong family, right?"

"I'm not dead yet!" Nangong Zhe gritted his teeth, "There's no end to it. Isn't it just that we're not engaged? Where's the woman? "

"There are so many girls in the Cloud Cui Residence. If you go there so many times, you can at least bring back a female!" The butler nodded again and again.

The butler quickly added, "Our Nan Gong Family does not have many rules, what brothel girl is a hindrance to our door, we do not care, in any case, the Nan Gong Family only has one root, as long as you can open up some roots, who cares what kind of woman she is! As long as it can live! "

"I still have something to take care of. All of you, get out of the way!" Nangong Zhe rushed into the room, fuming with rage. Was he about to face a great calamity? A bunch of old arms and legs, thinking about stuffing women into his room every day! Was he, Nangong Zhe, such a person? It was better not to mess with him. Didn't he understand that?

"Butler, do you think it will work? With my old woman's eyesight, that young lady must be really pretty. Why don't we think of a way? " The granny sweeping the floor smirked evilly.

A girl with buck teeth inserted into the back, A-Cui rolled her eyes, "Elder, don't worry about me. Last time that girl came to find an adult, you gave them medicine and sent them to an adult's bed. The lord wanted you to be grounded for a month, but you forgot?" When she spoke, her saliva splattered everywhere.

The granny sweeping the ground wiped the saliva off her face, "Mind your own business!" With that face of yours, it's already good enough that they don't mind you. Hurry up and marry someone while you're still young. In case you cry and beg me to be your matchmaker, I'll tell you, I don't have the time to care about you! "

Ah Cui harrumphed, "I have Xunfeng!"

The butler held onto his clothes, "Are you going to listen?"

"Butler, last time you heard it from the corner, you let the adults block their ears. You've been 'deaf' for a month!" Ah Cui looked at them with disdain, "Both of you, stop fooling around. Maybe the lord already has a girlfriend, and because of your enthusiasm, the lord didn't dare to bring you to the mansion! I was just afraid that you would scare the new wife! "

The granny sweeper was suddenly enlightened. "Really?"

"Really?" the butler asked.

A-Cui pouted, "It was just a guess!" After saying that, she rolled her eyes and walked away.

"Work, work!" The steward walked away with a helpless expression, his gaze still on the bedroom in the main courtyard from time to time. The granny sweeping the floor grunted. She couldn't let the deceased Madam down. The Nangong Family must have a descendant!

Nangong Zhe pushed open the door gloomily. There was indeed a woman sitting inside. He had never seen the youth that Cai Wei had mentioned before, but the clothes on this woman seemed to belong to that person. There was a dry stain on her chest. Nangong Zhe was a good drinker, and his tongue was naturally sharper than a dog's. The moment he opened the door, he could smell the alcohol on her body. It was indeed a special wine from the Emerald Cloud Residence.

Only important guests would be able to serve this wine and enjoy it. As for the so-called esteemed guests, they were not considered below Grade Three. The new benefactor had a chance to taste this wine as well. Caiwei had been to a room before, so this wine should be the wine of the Emerald Cloud Restaurant!

Dress up as a girl?

Nangong Zhe was certain that the person in front of him was not a man pretending to be a woman. In other words, the young emperor, Zhao Jing, had randomly shot and sent a woman over. What about the youths from before? Dongfang Wenming was looking for that person. Zhao Jing had hidden that person somewhere, but the woman in that person's clothes had appeared in the Nangong family. Nangong Zhe felt that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash himself clean.

"Who are you?" Nan Gong Zhe turned around and closed the door, "You are not the young man whom the Emperor brought to the Emerald Cloud Residence previously, who are you? What do you want? What does the Emperor want to do? "

The young girl sat by Nangong Zhe's bedside and lightly caressed the edge of the bed with her fingers. Her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with an innate charm. It was a pair of eyes that could speak and had a charming look to it. However, when she smiled, the sky seemed to dim.

"Who I am is actually not important. The important thing is that as long as I leave the Nan Gong Family now or disappear from the Nan Gong Family, the spies from the Regent's Manor outside will be able to spread the news to the uninformed ears of the east. Might as well guess how Dongfang Wenming will deal with you. " Her smile was like a flower, "Perhaps, how should the Prime Minister's Estate punish you? The grudge between you and the Prime Minister's Estate isn't just a day or two, right? "

"To be able to grasp the situation so accurately, one's words and words are laced with weakness. It can be seen that the emperor isn't really out of control, he's just concealing his strength!" Aren't you afraid that I'll tell these things to Dongfang Buming or Cobb? In this way, the emperor's entire game of chess will come to an end! The two of them will not leave any trouble for themselves, and will raise an ingrate to stay by their side. " Nangong Zhe sat down.

The woman suddenly laughed. "You don't know how to!"

"How do you know?" Nangong Jiu poured himself a cup of water.

"I drugged the water!" The woman's voice was clear. "You still dare to drink it?"

Nangong Zhe's hand that was holding the cup trembled slightly as he lowered his head to look at the water in the cup and took a sniff. He took a sip and spat on the ground. There was indeed medicine in the water, but … It wasn't her.

Feeling a little irritated, Nangong Zhe put down the cup in his hand and asked, "What does the emperor want?"

The woman stood up slowly, "The Nangong family is loyal and kind for generations. Otherwise, Lord Nangong would not be in this situation. The Nangong family was still able to rely on the government's supplies to sustain them up until now. It was because of the Nangong family's teachings that they could not allow their descendants to do anything that went against the rules. It will not be difficult to get rid of this threat, but we will still have to see if Lord Nangong is willing to cooperate! "

"Cooperate?" With just you? " Nangong Zhe harrumphed coldly, "When have I, Nangong Zhe, been through such a ruse? I'm just doing my best. How can I be threatened like this?" In the next moment, with a sudden flash of his body, he suddenly appeared in front of the woman and extended his hand to take off her veil.

At that moment, the girl's gaze turned ruthless …
