"What's wrong?" Zhong Fu asked.
Wen Yuye said coldly, "Go the way, follow that person!"
As his voice fell, he shouted, "Please take good care of my family's young master, Noble Heir, I'll be back soon!" He jumped off the carriage and quickly left.
This turn of events happened too fast, causing Zhong Fu to not even have time to react, just what exactly happened? Zhong Fu sat on the ground with a stupefied expression, looking at Wen Yuye who had a completely cold expression, unable to make sense of the situation!
Ke Bozhao also roughly knew about the assassination attempt outside the palace. Right now, he was sitting in the study room, rubbing his forehead and looking at the fallen leaves outside the window. Autumn and winter came, and the weather became increasingly chilly. This incident was so brutal that it caused one's hair to stand on end. When did committing murder on the street become so unscrupulous? If the ruler is not the ruler and the subject is not the subject, could the mountains of Grand Xia still be saved?
Fuzi bowed, "Prime Minister, it's very cold outside, stand on the wind, and take care of your own body."
"I remember what my mother said to me when she was still alive." Ke Bozhao stood up with his hands behind his back, "She said, the world is rotten, and people's hearts are rotten too, they're hopeless long ago! She also said that there was no need to force anyone who could not live. A person's lifespan was the same as the lifespan of this country; there was a fixed number of lifespans. Once the will of the people is gone, the nation will be destroyed. There's no point in struggling! "
Saying that, Ke Bozhao lowered his head and laughed bitterly: "Fuzi, what do you think?"
"Fuzi has never read too many books, and does not know any great principles, so Fuzi only knows that Madam is right! But what Young Master has done is right, Fuzi believes in Young Master! " Fuzi laughed, "Has young master heard some rumors? Actually, there's no need to pay attention to it. The radish and vegetables each have their own feelings, and the human heart is complicated to begin with. How can it be the same everywhere? "
Ke Bozhao took a deep breath, "Enter the palace!"
"Yes sir!" Fuzi bowed, then turned and left to settle the matters.
When the Emperor was assassinated, he, as the Prime Minister, had to admit his wrongs. After all, such a huge affair had occurred in the capital. As the Prime Minister of a hundred officials, he couldn't avoid it, so he had to beg for forgiveness! Taking off his official hat, Ke Bozhao entered the palace dressed in cloth.
The palace.
Dongfang Weiming had long since entered the Qianyuan Hall, and was looking at Zhao Jing with a pitch black face. The little girl's face was pale. The glimmer in her eyes made her look like an unpolished jade doll. It was so white that it was almost transparent. She must have been scared.
Assassins and rebellion were different, the arrival of assassins was too sudden, especially when the arrow was shot over, Zhao Jing's heart jumped out of his throat. She had truly lost her soul at that time. Seeing the cold arrow shooting through her sight, she was at a loss for what to do. The feeling of helplessness and fear of death prevented her from coming out.
Zhao Jing hugged his blanket and curled up in a corner, his expression somewhat sluggish as he looked at Dongfang Weiming who was in front of his bed. He stood against the light, reflecting his long figure in her eyes, occupying all her light, hiding her in the shadow he gave her, looking up at his height. She subconsciously hugged the blanket tightly and finally lowered her gaze, still not saying a word.
"Your Highness!" Wei Shuge bowed, "It is this servant and the others who are unlucky in protecting the Emperor, causing him to be in shock! The imperial physician had come to see him before. The emperor had already taken the Soul-Sobering Soup and was now safe from the dragons' attacks. The next few days were spent in a good state of calm so there wouldn't be too much of a problem! "
"It's fortunate that I'm not injured!" Dongfang Weiming said.
Zhao Jing hugged his blanket tightly, he did not look at him, but thought in his heart, it was probably because of the thing in her body that he said! Heh, he had said too many things against his will. At first glance, it sounded like the truth, but then he suddenly had some distracting thoughts in his heart. He faintly thought about how great it would be if it was really true. It couldn't be fake. It couldn't be fake … Of course not!
Seeing Zhao Jing's expression, Dongfang Weiming did not say anything, and just sat quietly beside the bed, accompanying her. After a long time, he held her slightly cold hand and held it tightly in his. The soft, soft, small hand was as white as jade. Holding it in his palm was as if there was no bone within it. His fingers caressed the back of her hand, his movements gentle and slow. The way he looked at her was mixed with something that even he himself didn't care about.
When Zhao Jing raised her head to look at him, her face was still as pale as ever.
Dongfang Weiming suddenly recalled that she was only twelve or thirteen, and it seemed that she was truly a little young. His palm tensed, but he heard a shout from the outside, saying that Ke Bozhao was outside begging for forgiveness, please forgive me, your majesty.
"Ke Bozhao is here?" Zhao Jing's expression was somewhat panicked, "Uncle, what is he doing? Wasn't this matter Qi Yunshan's plan? "People outside the city can clear their way out, that's why …"
"Don't be nervous!" Dongfang Weiming took a deep breath, "Everything has to be done slowly, since people are already outside, shouldn't I listen to Ke Bozhao's explanation? Do you still remember what the emperor told this humble subject? Since the emperor wants to rope Ke Bozhao in, shouldn't he have some sincerity? Since there was no conclusive evidence to determine who had done it, it was impossible to draw a conclusion, right? Even if it was Qi Yunshan's doing, the emperor didn't want to know, what intentions did Ke Bozhao have? Is it on purpose to get closer to the emperor, or is the wind blowing on both sides, or is it Qi Yunshan's spies? "
Zhao Jing nodded his head, "Just as Uncle had said, we will meet once!" He then turned and nodded towards Wei Shuge, who was not far away, and immediately turned and walked out.
Before long, clear footsteps could be heard as they entered the room. Zhao Jing felt that his hands had turned cold and he quickly loosened them. She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously put her hand back under the blanket, trying to maintain its initial warmth.
When Ke Bozhao came in, his face was filled with shock. He respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Jing, "Sinner Ke Bozhao kowtows to you, Sir! Long live My Emperor!"
Zhao Jing could hear the mixed sounds of his trembling, accompanied by a few inexplicable emotions. She didn't know if Ke Bozhao was pretending, or if he was pretending, but she had to act well herself in the end. She straightened her body, and slowly sat up straight. Looking coldly at Ke Bozhao who was kneeling on the ground, she spoke in a neutral tone: "We find it strange, there's no reason, where did the Prime Minister come in to apologize?"
Ke Bozhao said, "This subject has been busy with six matters, neglecting the matter of the capital city and its environs, to the point where the emperor and the long street were frightened by the assassination attempt. As the prime minister who heads a hundred officials, I have shunned the responsibility of being careless. As he spoke, he continued to kowtow, "This subject is guilty, please punish me, your majesty!"
"Jing Ji Fu is the heavy defense of the capital, and together with the Military and Horse Division, they are the barrier outside the imperial palace. They are an important barrier that is indispensable to the protection of the Emperor and even the imperial palace. Who would have thought that in the capital, right under the nose of the emperor, such a senseless act of murder would occur? It was a act that disregarded the lives of people! If you are just an ordinary person, then it would be fine, but who would have thought that it would turn into the evil of the king killing, it is simply unforgivable! " Dongfang Weiming unhurriedly said, and faintly stood up. "Prime Minister, this time, we've caused a huge mess!"
Killing a king, the other meaning was conspiring against him!
The crime of conspiring against others was punishable by death!
Ke Bozhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "This subject knows that his crimes are unforgivable and does not wish to justify himself in the slightest. I only hope that Your Majesty will give this subject a chance to thoroughly investigate this matter, uncover the culprit behind it and give Your Majesty a satisfactory explanation!"
"An explanation?" Dongfang Weiming snorted, "With a single sentence, you were able to make it seem like a small matter, a small matter? Ke Bozhao, do you think that since the Emperor is young, the child can bully him? You can cover this up with just a few words? Prime Minister's Estate, Three Provinces Six Division, Jing Ji Fu, Military and Horse Division, oh … It was all useless! Prime Minister Ke, do you feel that it's difficult to let go of the blame and that you can't bring out your true ability? How can the Emperor believe in you if he can't even put his finger on it? "
Of course Ke Bozhao knew that this was Dongfang Weiming deliberately making things difficult for him. He was even more clear that in front of Dongfang Weiming, the emperor Zhao Jing did not even have the authority to argue with him. But was Dongfang Weiming that easy to convince? Qi Family and Dongfang Weiming had been fighting together for their entire lives, yet no one was willing to take a step back, so this time …
Dongfang Weiming used the emperor as a pretense and called him Emperor by his name, Ke Bozhao was well aware of this. However, the little Emperor Zhao Jing did not speak, so Ke Bozhao had to bite the bullet and accept the attack. After all, Dongfang Weiming had already spoken, so Ke Bozhao could only say, "This subject will give my emperor an explanation within five days! If not, this official will plead for my death, and I will not shirk my responsibility! "
"These words were said by the Prime Minister himself. No one placed the knife against your neck!" Dongfang Weiming stood with his hands behind his back, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"Yes sir!" Ke Bozhao nodded his head, "Your majesty, I was willing to give you this military order, I am not worried about anyone else!" As he said that, he respectfully kowtowed, placing his official hat and uniform at the side, "Long live My Emperor!"
Zhao Jing had already got off the bed. Her actions were very light and gentle, and when she walked over to Ke Bozhao, she seemed to not have moved at all. Therefore, Ke Bozhao did not notice it, but when he did, Zhao Jing had already supported him for a while.
Ke Bozhao kneeled down and looked at her, only to see her squatting in front of him and bringing her small pale face closer. Fear still lingered on her face as her limpid eyes reflected his figure. Ke Bozhao did not utter a word, he only watched Zhao Jing's every move. He saw her lift up his official hat with her own eyes, like a child who knows nothing of the world. With a tender smile on her lips, she placed the official hat on his head.
"I'm used to seeing you in your official hat and taking it off all of a sudden, but I'm not used to it!" Zhao Jing straightened his official's hat, "This hat can only look good on your head!" She looked at his smile and felt her heart palpitating.
Ke Bozhao thought that maybe he was really scared during the day. After all, the little emperor was too young. With a heavy heart and an indescribable emotion, Ke Bozhao retracted his gaze. "Many thanks, your majesty!"
Zhao Jing stood up, and the feeling of warmth and coldness alternated behind him.
She understood that it was because Dongfang Weiming was standing behind her. From the beginning, he was never willing to let her touch Ke Bozhao, but who knew that right under his nose, he would be so unhappy? Didn't he see what she said and did? What's there to doubt? What's there to worry about?
Zhao Jing turned to look at Dongfang Weiming, and before he had time to speak, this stingy Eastern Bastard had already turned his back on him. Don't think that the tutor can delay you just because he's about to return. This King doesn't like people who go back on their words. Those who go back on their words are currently in the Underworld. "
Ke Bozhao stood up and narrowed his eyes, but in the end, his gaze fell upon Zhao Jing. "This is something I promised the emperor, there's no need for Regent to worry!"
Zhao Jing subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
