"Could it be what?" Nangong Zhe tightly gripped the cup in his hand and stared at Ye Qing, who was deep in thought.

Ye Qing's eyebrows knitted together as she stared at Nangong Zhe, "Among all the people I know in the Demon Palace, there is no such person as Yanxue. Secondly, to be able to tie with you, and even be slightly stronger than you in terms of martial arts, the upper echelons must be the envoys or protectors, or perhaps the palace masters. However, the Demon Palace's Palace Master had already disappeared two or three years ago, so he definitely wasn't the Palace Master. "Protector, you have to guard the Demon Palace. You can't come to the capital."

Saying this, Ye Qing let out a sigh and stood with his hands behind his back, "If you are an emissary, then unless you are a new recruit, it is impossible for me to not know of this person, Zuxue!" He looked at Nangong Zhe, "Probably an alias! Probably, it's not his real name! "

Other than this explanation, Nangong Zhe could not think of any other reason, "The people from the Demon Palace are currently in the capital, aren't you going to meet them?"

"What's so interesting about these petty people?" Ye Qing walked out with a heavy heart, "Wasting my time!"

"Are you that confident that the person you're looking for won't appear in the capital? This girl could be an envoy from the Demon Palace. Then why couldn't the protector or palace master be in the capital? Ye Qing, you gave up? " Nangong Zhe asked.

Ye Qing stopped in his tracks, "I gave up long ago. Why else would I come to your Nan Gong Family? Now, I no longer want to care about the past, I just want to live in peace. You should know that the survival of a dead heart is more terrifying and more torturous than death! Lord Nangong, didn't you already understand this? "My relationship with the Demon Palace, heh …"

Before he could finish his words, he had already disappeared from Nangong Zhe's sight.

Nangong Zhe squinted his eyes as he reached out his hand to brush away the wound on his arm. He slowly stood up and walked out of the room. His sharp eyes quickly scanned his surroundings. It was likely that, at that very instant, there would be a lot of eyes on the walls of the Nangong Imperial Clan. If it wasn't the Residence of Regent, then it should be one of Cobb's men. Regardless of which side it was, it wasn't that he couldn't afford to offend them, but that he didn't want any trouble. These two were both difficult characters!

"Lord?" A man in brocade clothes walked quickly over, with Atrei leading the way. Before long, the man stood in front of Nangong Zhe, "My lord, something doesn't seem right outside! Tsui came to see me this morning and said it was... Master, how did you get injured? " Finished speaking, the man looked at Ah Cui in panic.

Ah Cui quickly shook her head, "I didn't say anything! I don't know anything! Xunfeng, you can ask the lord, I … I am just a servant, I don't know anything! " After saying that, A-Cui ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Xunfeng pursed his lips, "Sir?"

"Nothing!" Nangong Zhe rolled his eyes, "Tell the people at the four doors that I am injured and that I need to recuperate at home. "Secondly, help me grab the medicine. Remember to let people see you grabbing the medicine, the Golden Sore Medicine!"

Xunfeng was stunned for a moment. "This lowly one …" "As you command!"

"Right, if you meet someone from the Residence of Regent, or the Prime Minister's Estate, you must deliberately avoid them!" Nangong Jiu said.

This time, Xunfeng was a little confused. "My lord just said that you want people to see me grabbing the medicine, why do you have to avoid me now?"

"There are more than two forces in the capital, there must be more experts hiding in seclusion!" Nangong Zhe stood with his hands behind his back, "These people are hiding in the shadows. If we are in the open, it is easy to dodge an arrow in the dark! Moreover, the Residence of Regent and the Prime Minister were suspicious places. Dongfang Wenming and Cobalt are both people who are standing at the edge of the blade. They never easily believe any clues or evidence that suddenly appeared in front of their door! "

Xunfeng was enlightened, "I understand!" Then, he quickly turned around and left.

The four-sided gate was currently being targeted by everyone. Any movement in the wind or grass would be heard by others. Dongfang Wenming was the first to look at the four doors. When he heard the news of Nangong Zhe's injury, he frowned slightly. Then, he looked at the door that was wide open behind him before walking into the corridor. The girl in the room was probably drunk and was still sobbing. She hadn't been able to sleep soundly last night!

"Are you sure?" Dongfang Wenming asked.

Zhou Zhizi nodded, "I'm sure!" He changed the topic and asked, "Master, did you have a conflict with the crown prince?"

"Do you think that Zhong Fu, that idiot, can make a move against Nangong Zhe? Even if it's you, you may not be able to easily injure Nangong Zhe's martial arts! " Dongfang Wenming humphed lightly, "The left and right hand move on its own, that's all!"

"Did he do it himself?" Zhou Zhizhi was stunned.

Dongfang Wenming laughed lightly, "The disaster will be decided by the East, and in the end, it will all come to naught." He slowly sat down, "What a pity that this is a good chess game. In the end, there are still people beyond the mountains! "Go and bring me my chess piece. When the Emperor wakes up, tell her to go to the study and find me!"

"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhizi nodded and watched Dongfang Wenming leave. Why did he suddenly think of playing chess? However, since it was the lord's orders, he would just follow them as a servant.

When Zhou Zhiqian entered, Gan Tang was waiting on the side. Even without Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan, the invisible Gan Tang was still there. She was not a member of the palace. She was only under the command of the Regent's Estate.

Zhao Jing rubbed his forehead. "Tell me what?"

"The emperor has orders, please move to his study." Zhou Zhiqian bowed, "Master has already prepared the chess board. He said that he is waiting for the Emperor to go kill a few rounds, so he will personally send you back to the palace!"

Zhao Jing looked out at the bright sky and let out a long breath. Dongfang Wenming had chased away Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan, leaving Zhao Jing in a completely sealed off state. Thus, she had to carefully analyze Dongfang Xi's intentions in case she was caught unawares and revealed the truth to him.

Within the study.

Dongfang Bu Fang had already set up the chess board early in the morning. He was currently fighting to the left and right. He seemed to be in high spirits, but his entire person seemed to be very calm. Hearing the commotion, he did not raise his head. It was as if he could tell who it was by the sound of his breath and footsteps. The black and white chess pieces were set, and there was no end to the fighting on the chessboard. It was a battlefield without smoke. It was a game of life and death.

Zhao Jing didn't say anything. After entering the room, he only stood quietly beside Dongfang Wenming. His eyes didn't even blink as he observed the situation within the chessboard. It was clear that the black and white did not give in to each other, and they were evenly matched. This kind of chess game was the most worrisome, but when it was close to a draw, one could not panic. Otherwise, the opponent would make a mistake and take advantage of the situation.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but begin to pant as she watched the unceasing slaughter between the two of them. Even her heart became nervous. This situation … how was the East going to resolve it?

"Your majesty, did you see it clearly?" He suddenly spoke.

Zhao Jing was startled and realized that he was lost in thought. "Zhen …"

"Could it be that I haven't awakened from my hangover?" Dongfang Wenming looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Does Your Majesty want to continue this mess?"

Zhao Jing didn't say anything and just slowly sat down in front of him. "This game of chess has already reached a climax. Although I have been watching from the side, I really don't know why Father Zhong is backing off, so …" I'm afraid it's inconvenient to accept. "Why don't we just watch from the side and wait for Father Zhong's end? We can be considered to have been taught by Father Zhong, and I am extremely happy in my heart!"

Dongfang Wenming pushed the white chess piece in front of her. "You even dare to visit brothels and get drunk. How come you don't dare to play this game again? Where is the courage and bravery of the Emperor? Or could it be, previously, my courage was multiplied because I was facing Nangong Zhe, but now, facing this humble official, I feel like my strength is lacking? " Listen, what he said...

When Zhao Jing heard this, he felt a sense of awkwardness. An inexplicable sour smell that made people feel uncomfortable all over. Zhao Jing glanced at the chessboard on the table. He pinched the chess pieces with his fingertips for a long time as his mind spun around in circles. Just what was the meaning of this? He couldn't win the match, so he couldn't even resolve it himself, so he wanted her to go up on stage? Dongfang Wenming was the victorious general, so he didn't know what it meant to change a general in the face of battle.

"Father Zhong, aren't you afraid that I will mess up your chess game?" Zhao Jing asked.

Dongfang Xi didn't even lift his head as he said, "If it's a mess, then it's a good thing. Sun Ziyi's martial art says that if you take it randomly, isn't that what you want?" He paused, the corner of his lips curving upwards. He didn't know what this meant. "The Emperor has read so many books. I presume he has also read this military strategy before, right?"

Zhao Jing nodded. "I did glance at him a few times, but he didn't seem to have an appetite, so I didn't take it to heart!" She put down the chess piece and suddenly caught a glimpse of the cold and ruthless look in Dongfang Wenming's eyes. Her heart immediately tightened. Could it be that she had done something wrong? With a heavy heart, Zhao Jing tried his best to remain calm. "Does Father Zhong have some sort of teachings?"

"Does Your Majesty think this humble subject wants to reprimand Your Majesty?" Dongfang Wenming chuckled. "Your subjects are different. Your subject is still a subject of the emperor. How dare you treat the emperor like this?! Only, does the Emperor know what it means to think twice before acting? "

Zhao Jing pinched the chess piece in his hand. He could feel sweat seeping out from his fingertips. However, on the surface, she was usually pale and did not show any clear emotions. "I would like to hear the details. Please enlighten me, Father Zhong!"

"Your Majesty is so smart, do you still need this humble subject to teach you?" Dongfang Wenming said lightly, "Earlier this morning, the Nangong Residence sent a message that Nangong Zhe had been injured. At this moment, they have even delayed the new top scorer's case. Does the Emperor know what that means? "

Zhao Jing fell. "I don't know!"

"How about the crime of bullying the sovereign?" Dongfang Wenming asked.

Zhao Jing stiffened his body, but didn't say anything.

"Do you know why you would rather shoulder the crime of deceiving the monarch than explain it?" Dongfang Wenming asked again.

Zhao Jing's complexion turned even paler, but he still didn't say a word.

The next moment, Dongfang Wenming's face suddenly leaned over. His hand was so fast that it struck her hand. His hot palm pressed the cold back of her hand. In an instant, an indescribable feeling spread through his entire body. Zhao Jing was caught unprepared. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do. He could only raise his head and stare blankly at him.

Their four eyes met, that pair of sinister eyes were suffused with a dark coldness, a coldness that seeped into one's bones.

She could only feel the temperature plummeting as the glimmer of light outside the window was engulfed. For a moment, she thought that she was standing at the gates of hell. If she took one wrong step, the knife in her forehead would slam down and she would be drenched in blood.

What in the world was the East trying to do?
