Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan bowed and quickly left. Only Zhao Jing and the nearby Dongfang Weiming stood and looked at each other. Everyone knew that the Regent and the Emperor did not like the presence of outsiders present. It would be a fatal disaster if someone were to listen to him!
Zhao Jing sighed, with his hands behind his back, he walked towards him. Seeing that he was right in front of Dongfang Weiming, Zhao Jing stopped in his tracks and slowly raised his head to look at him. Dongfang Weiming was much taller than her, so when she stood in front of him, she could only be caged in his shadow. Every time, she would raise her head and look up at him like this. Every time he bent his head to look, he would emit an imposing aura that was not angry, causing people to feel fear and trepidation as they stayed far away from him.
Dongfang Weiming leisurely bent over, closed her extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, and sniffed lightly next to her, "Did you drink?" His voice was as mellow as wine. When it entered her ears, it was as if a feather had brushed across her heart, bringing with it traces of numbness.
For some reason, Zhao Jing felt that Dongfang Weiming's voice today contained some unspeakable emotions. However, she couldn't quite put her finger on what she was feeling. It was as if she was very gentle, without the usual coldness. Just as Zhao Jing thought that something was strange, he suddenly turned his head.
Their eyes met for a split-second, and they were only inches away from each other.
He lowered his head and she turned her head, breathing into him. Because they were too close, Zhao Jing could almost feel the warmth coming from their bodies. It seeped into his body through the skin on his face and slowly fused into his bones and blood, fusing with his body and mind. She suddenly missed half a beat below her left shoulder. She could almost feel his lips moving so closely together … It was almost touching her lips.
Instantly, Zhao Jing regained his senses and quickly retreated two steps. She instinctively covered her lips, as if this was the only way to separate her from his warmth. It was just that she did not know that her current predicament, in Dongfang Weiming's eyes, was so mesmerizing and enticing.
"I just can't hold it in. I just had a taste!" Zhao Jing blinked his bright eyes, staring straight at him with a face full of innocence, "Uncle, why are you here? You specially came here to catch me in a crappy situation? "
Dongfang Weiming concentrated, it had to be said that in all these years, this was the first time he lost his spirit. For the first time, he lost himself in front of a woman. However, he was used to being frivolous, so even if he had any emotional fluctuations, it would not be easily noticed by others. He only straightened his body, lowered his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Jing who was puffing his cheeks, then smiled: "Your majesty, why are you drinking?"
"Didn't I already say it? I only tasted it twice! " Zhao Jing stood up on his tiptoes, "We are not greedy for food, we are just taking two bites! If Uncle does not believe me, then it is useless for me to say anything. "
"Shi Zhonggu's wine, is it really so delicious?" He looked down into her eyes.
When he said that, Zhao Jing's heart was as cold as snow, all the hairs on his body stood up. If even one mouthful of wine could tell that it came from Shi Zhonggu, then wouldn't Dongfang Weiming know about all the things she said to Shi Zhonggu? If Dongfang Weiming knew that Lu An Nian was in Ministry Of Rites, would he know that she was going to make a move during the Rites of Heavenly Worship? Thinking of all these, Zhao Jing felt goosebumps all over his body.
In Zhao Jing's eyes, Dongfang Weiming was an incarnation of the devil. One day, she would always be in a restless state of mind. If there was a day when she had the power, then the first person she wanted to kill, would be him, Dongfang Weiming. Because this person was too terrifying. His eyes seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. Zhao Jing did not allow such an existence to exist, so Dongfang Weiming had to die!
Dongfang Weiming sighed, looked at Zhao Jing who was avoiding her gaze, holding back his silence, he lowered his head and looked at her jade like wrist, reached out and pinched her wrist, then walked forward. Zhou Zhiji had already cleared the palace entrance for them, so naturally no one dared to appear, even if they were to bump into each other, no one dared to raise their head. He held her wrist and walked on the palace path one in front of the other.
Zhao Jing was almost dragged along by him. Since he was tall, his two long legs grew larger as well. Naturally, she was unable to catch up. Following behind Dongfang Weiming excitedly, Zhao Jing felt like he was a young wife who was being dragged home by her husband. She remembered that she had seen such a scene on the long street of the Yin Lin Manor long ago, but she hadn't thought that this scene would be like the replay of the past story.
It was probably because Zhao Jing was upset in his heart, or perhaps because she felt that she should have stayed a little further away from Dongfang Weiming, but Zhao Jing actually flung his hand away with such force. His actions had exhausted all the strength in his body, and he was filled with an unconcealable rage.
"What for?" Dongfang Weiming stood on the spot and looked at her. Was it because he mentioned Shi Zhonggu? Thinking back, that's right, it was not Shi Zhonggu's problem, but rather him touching her reverse scale, making her understand that he had sent people to watch over her, and knew that she had met with Shi Zhonggu, and even drank Shi Zhonggu's wine. That was why the little girl was unhappy. She felt that he had trapped her in this four-sided city and lost his freedom!
The man's eyebrows slightly raised as he sized up the angered little girl in front of him. Beneath the bright yellow dragon robe hid a frail body. The delicate air between his brows was forcefully raised into the heroic air of a man. Under her two sword-like brows, her heroic and threatening eyes seemed to be filled with a tender vigor, carrying a stubbornness and perseverance that did not belong to her age.
For a moment he wanted to give her a hug, but then he realized that he had made it, and he lost the courage to hug her. The eerie white bones that separated her from him were not something that could be canceled out by a single hug, turning into bones that did not exist!
"Uncle only knows that I want to be an emperor, but he didn't know that I am also made of flesh and blood. Just like how Uncle likes power, and Zhen likes to drink, this is the same principle. Why is it that when the Uncle comes to me, you can't let anyone else have access to it? " Zhao Jing made two noises, "I really did agree with what you said, only the officials of the Regional Palace are allowed to set fire, you are not allowed to light the lanterns!"
"This humble subject has only asked about Shi Zhonggu's wine, why is the emperor so angry?" Dongfang Weiming said softly, "Is the emperor unhappy because he didn't enjoy his drink enough?"
Zhao Jing did not say a word, but looked like a little girl who had lost her temper, unwilling to answer.
"Let's go!" He led her on. "Go change your clothes."
Zhao Jing was startled, "What is Uncle trying to do?"
"If I tell you to do it, then do it. If you don't want to do it yourself, then I can help!" He glanced at her.
Zhao Jing curled his lips, and paid his respects to all eighteen generations of ancestors of Dongfang Family in his heart. Weren't they loyal for generations? How did such a monster appear? It was unknown what kind of demon this Bastard was currently trying to be, but he was actually planning to bring her away from the palace.
The moment he got on the carriage, Zhao Jing stared at Dongfang Weiming in a daze. He wondered if Bastard had decided to kill him just because he wanted to kill her? Fortunately, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan were behind them, causing Zhao Jing to become braver. Shuge's martial arts were high, she would not let her be so easily killed. Thinking about that, Zhao Jing loosened his clenched fists inside his sleeves.
But Zhao Jing did not expect that the carriage would stop in front of the Scholar's Manor.
The moment he got off the car, Zhao Jing stared with his eyes wide, his mind was in a mess, "What is Uncle doing?"
"Save you all the time thinking about it!" Dongfang Weiming waved his hand, and Zhou Zhiji led his people and rushed into the Scholar's Manor.
Zhao Jing's heart jumped, she looked at Dongfang Weiming who was in panic, and subconsciously, her gaze landed on Wei Shuge. This scene made everyone panic. Zhao Jing felt his palm turn cold, but there was nothing he could do. What Dongfang Weiming wanted to do, no one could stop her. So what if she was the emperor?
The academy was in an uproar as many people were shouting and crying. There were even quite a few people who were frightened by the scene. They were crying in the manor, but it was hard to tell what they were crying for.
Outside the Scholar's Manor, Zhao Jing's face was green and white. Dongfang Weiming stood right beside her. Even if he killed Shi Zhonggu today, Zhao Jing could only watch on helplessly.
But after the ruckus, when the soldiers carried the jars of wine that had just been taken out of the wine cellar, Zhao Jing was shocked to the point that his eyes were glazed over. Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that his eyes were shining brightly! Closing her eyes, her eyes, ears, and nose that had been fed by the wine, had long since noticed the wine aroma that dripped outside the wine jar. Vaguely, it captivated a person's soul. It was extremely good!
"Pear Blossom …" Zhao Jing laughed, "It's the good wine that that old thing hid!"
Dongfang Weiming turned his head to look at her. Look, his eyes were rolling, staring at the wine jar, he couldn't see anything else. In the little girl's mind, the world, and even the people around her, they were all not as enticing as this yellow soup.
"Want some?" he asked with a smile.
Zhao Jing nodded his head, "I can reluctantly let you have a try!"
"It's not difficult to drink it!" Dongfang Weiming waved his hand, "Bring all of your Regent's Mansion back to this king!" He smirked at her, "If Your Majesty is greedy, come to the Regent's Mansion or send someone to inform me. This subject will definitely bring wine to the palace without stopping to serve Your Majesty well!"
Zhao Jing's heart trembled, "What for?"
"Does the emperor know that his wine is bad?" Dongfang Weiming asked in a low voice.
Zhao Jing blinked her eyes. She was used to drinking a lot, even if she had a record of "getting drunk", it would just be pretending to be drunk! How could the "liquor" he put on be counted? But in front of Dongfang Weiming, Zhao Jing did not dare say anything. Forget it, he thought her wine wasn't good. That wasn't good! However, this wine … Since he had already dug it out from the wine cellar, he couldn't afford to waste it. Otherwise, he would have to waste so much manpower and resources.
"Then is Uncle's wine good enough?" Zhao Jing asked.
Dongfang Weiming bent his body to look at her, smiling coldly, "Your majesty, do you want to try?"
Zhao Jing held his hands behind his back and walked back to the carriage.
Wei Shuge hurried forward, "Your majesty, this …"
"Send someone to inform him that mister's family has been robbed. He should come back and jump about!" After all these years of being carefree and unrestrained, it's about time to add to the chaos! " Zhao Jing pursed his lips, and gave a meaningful smile.
Wei Shuge glanced at Zhao Yuannan, if Master Shi knew that the wine cellar in his house had been emptied, it would not just be a simple stomp of his feet. Based on the old man's fearlessness, he must have made a ruckus at the Regent's Mansion. If the Regent's Mansion were to go overboard, the entire capital would probably go into an uproar!
Thinking of this, the faces of Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan immediately darkened. Since when did Regent start messing around with the little emperor?!
He was just like two thieves who stole wine!
