The wine from the academy had all been moved to the Regent's Mansion. When this news spread, it could be said that everyone was shocked! What exactly was he playing at? The little Emperor usually came here to cause trouble, and everyone knew that. Since the Emperor was young, he always let his temper take its course. But this time, how did Regent get involved?

Shi Zhonggu was already an old man, and had even ran up to the point where his Regent's Mansion was pointing at the tightly shut door while cursing loudly, "Dongfang Weiming, you bastard brat, I, Shi Zhonggu, have lived for a long time, and am even being scammed by you, a junior! Give me back my wine! Do you hear me! "

Zhou Zhiji rubbed his ears and quickly went back to the Warm Pavilion, "Master, Master Shi is outside!"

"Is the door closed?" Dongfang Weiming asked, looking at Zi Ziluo.

Zhao Jing sat opposite of him, but his gaze was fixated on the wine jug at the side. From time to time, the jug of wine would give off a wine fragrance that would make people's hearts race. The Liquor worm would not be able to control itself for a long time. However, Dongfang Weiming had said that it would be fine to drink, but he had to first use all of his strength to win this game.

"It's closed!" Zhou Zhiji quickly replied, "I can't come in!"

"Then that's it!" Dongfang Weiming ignored Zhou Zhiji, smiling at the absent-minded Zhao Jing in front of him.

Zhou Zhiji could only bow and leave, in case he disturbed Zhao Jing and Dongfang Weiming's mood. However, before he left, Zhou Zhiji paused in his steps at the entrance, as his eyebrows knitted together to give back a glance. He didn't know why, but Zhou Zhiji felt that this Warm Pavilion was different from how it used to be, and he couldn't tell where it was different.

Outside the door, stood Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan. The two of them stood further away from the door, and looked anxiously at the courtyard. When they saw Zhou Zhiji coming out, they hurriedly went to greet him, and their gazes fell on the door that was being closed.

"Lord Zhou?" Wei Shuge immediately asked, "Outside the door …."

"It's Lord Shi outside the door. He's here to settle the score!" Zhou Zhiji said in an indifferent manner, "But no matter how angry Shi Zhonggu is, no matter how angry he is, he would not dare to intrude into Regent's Mansion. At most, he would only shout a few words to calm the fire! Aunt Wei, don't worry, just don't go out! "

Wei Shuge nodded, "Then the emperor, she …"

"The emperor has a prince serving him inside, there's no need to worry!" Zhou Zhiji looked at the two of them, "Remember not to get too close, the Duke doesn't like people who spout nonsense! All these years, the people in the courtyard have been changing batch after batch, and all the people in the palace are no exception. "

Zhao Yuannan nodded his head, "We servants know!"

"It's good that you know this!" Zhou Zhiji turned around and waited in the corridor. With him watching over them, the people waiting outside would naturally not dare to go near the Warm Pavilion. However, Zhou Zhiji was gradually starting to worry, the emperor was not the real emperor after all. No one knew better than Zhou Zhiji how his master went through all these years. His master didn't have a woman of his own by his side, but the emperor was growing old. There were probably some things …

Although he was worried, Zhou Zhiji knew in his heart what kind of temper Dongfang Weiming had. I can't say! If he said too much, some things would be done intentionally out of caution, and he would often do it for real. At that time, Zhou Zhiji would really be the one to help!

However, Zhao Jing still drank the entire pot of wine, she stared at the wine, he stared at... Staring at the wine, it became a chain reaction. In the end, it was a draw. Whether it was a contest between chess and chess, or a contest between the hearts of men, neither of them had won.

Dongfang Weiming pushed the cup in front of her and after thinking about it, he unwillingly poured him a cup of wine. She whispered, "Since when does Uncle like to drink?"

"After knowing that the emperor likes to drink!" "No," he said. He picked up the cup with his bony hand and spoke with a frivolous indifference. He took a sip of the wine in the cup and tasted the flavor in her heart. He couldn't help but smile as a warm breeze blew past his heart.

Dongfang Weiming raised his head to look at her, but Zhao Jing ignored him even though he was deep within the aroma of wine. He naturally did not know what kind of wind and lightning was contained within those fog-like eyes of his. He looked at her for a moment, then put down his cup and sucked at the aftertaste of his lips. Wine was indeed good wine, but since ancient times, wine had always been a great tool to pick the time of the day. It was neither good nor bad for one's heart. If you meet the right person, you will drink like wine. If you meet the wrong person, you will brew a pot of bitter wine.

When one tasted the bitter wine, it broke one's intestines the most.

"How is it?" Zhao Jing asked.

Dongfang Weiming laughed, "Good wine!"

"The wine that Geezer Shi hid were all good wine. He didn't have any other abilities, and his skill in brewing wine and finding wine were first class." When it came to wine, it was as if the little girl had let off water, and could not finish her sentence, "Uncle probably doesn't know how many times I have secretly stolen to use the old geezer's wine. This old man is addicted to alcohol like his life. All day long, he carries a jug of wine and a mouthful of yellow soup is as if he's hanging his life from it! "

Realizing that he had said too much, Zhao Jing opened her mouth in embarrassment. In the end, she swallowed the words that were about to leave her mouth and didn't say anything more. The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly turned strange, and one could not tell what it felt like. Zhao Jing secretly glanced at Dongfang Weiming, and felt that there was a random jump below his left shoulder, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"It was my slip of the tongue." Zhao Jing said softly.

"The Emperor is not lying. Back in the Previous Emperor period, this Shi Zhonggu was a person who was addicted to alcohol, but does the Emperor know why he is so addicted to alcohol?" Dongfang Weiming gently asked with a profound smile on his face. As he looked at Zhao Jing with such a smile, Zhao Jing felt goosebumps all over his body.

"I have never heard of it." Zhao Jing indeed did not know.

Dongfang Weiming let out a long sigh, but it did not carry on, as it was truly suspending the appetite of others.

Zhao Jing saw him chuckle, his fingertips stroking the exquisite black jade chess pieces, as if he was deep in thought. "The empress leaked the liquid and left the palace, and the emperor followed quietly, did you manage to find any clues? "Who is she doing this with?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Jing quickly thought about how he could stop the damage in time. However, on this question, Zhao Jing suddenly remembered that since Dongfang Weiming already knew about the empress leaving the palace, he probably knew that she had sent Wei Shuge to chase after him. If Dongfang Weiming knew the whole story, he would definitely hide it, and would not deliberately mystify things here.

It seemed like Dongfang Weiming did not manage to find out what happened either!

Zhao Jing laughed dryly, "Uncle is so capable, why don't you investigate it yourself? I am only holding onto your fur, I am afraid that I cannot enter your Uncle's eyes or ears, at that time, your Uncle will not be happy! "

"Speak!" Her thin lips slowly stuck out this word, yet it seemed to carry a coldness and ruthlessness that seemed to have the might of someone who wasn't angry, causing Zhao Jing's body to uncontrollably shake slightly.

Zhao Jing curled his lips, "Just say it out, why are you acting so fiercely?" She took a breath and said, "The empress left the palace to meet a woman and met her at a pavilion by the moat. It was just that at that time, it was too dark and the other party was extremely tightly guarded, so Shuge was unable to see the appearance of the person inside the pavilion. Moreover, this person was very cautious. Even after leaving for a long time, he didn't forget to send someone back to check the surroundings of the pavilion to see if there were any traces of being followed. "After checking, the servants scattered like plum blossoms, not giving anyone the chance to follow them."

"In the end, you still don't know who the person who secretly taught the empress was?" Dongfang Weiming concluded his speech.

Hearing this, Zhao Jing rolled his eyes, "If you can, why didn't you go and investigate it yourself? She stood up as if she was angered and didn't forget to hold her wine pot as she stood up.

In the next moment, Dongfang Weiming quickly pressed on the back of her hand.

Zhao Jing looked up in shock, their eyes met, and they each had their own stomachs. The warmth of his palm covered the back of her hand. In that instant, their skin made contact, giving off an indescribable feeling of confrontation. She did not speak, and he did not speak.

"What does Uncle mean by this?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Aren't you afraid that Shi Zhonggu will still be waiting outside? If you were to know about this, and participated in it as well, what did you think he would do to you? " He opened his mouth coldly.

Zhao Jing was startled. He reckoned that Geezer Shi would probably scold her until blood dripped from the top.

Dongfang Weiming retracted his hand, and looked down at her condescendingly, "Regarding the Queen, don't interfere in the future!"

"Why?" Zhao Jing blurted out.

She saw him bend his body slightly. Her figure was reflected in those deep black eyes, and her handsome face was without any ripples. He stared straight at her. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to pinch her chin. He lifted his hand, and she subconsciously grabbed his wrist.

"If you want to live, you have to live well. It's best if you don't overestimate yourself." This was a warning. The next moment, he smiled, his smile was so warm, "Don't ask about that, it doesn't make sense, do you understand? This subject will help the emperor take care of the aftermath, but if the emperor doesn't know what's good for him, this subject's patience is limited! " He ran his fingers through her loose hair and gently stroked her hair behind her ears.

Zhao Jing did not speak, he only tensed up.

"Good girl!" He straightened his body and snorted. "Stay here. I'll take you back to the palace when it gets dark!" He pointed outside, "If you don't want to be scolded, then listen!"

Saying that, Dongfang Weiming pushed the door open and went out.

Zhao Jing remained in the room and subconsciously reached out to brush his ears, rubbing them hard with a little disgust. Fake things, she really didn't care!

It was just that Zhao Jing really did not understand why Dongfang Weiming did not let her interfere with the Empress's business. Had Dongfang Weiming discovered something that prevented her from intervening?

Who exactly was that woman?

The ruckus finally ended with the cover of the night.

In Taifu Mansion's garden, the candlelight was just right at night, but the night breeze was a bit cold.

Qi Yunshan walked in front while Ke Bozhao followed behind.

"Snatch wine?" Qi Yunshan raised his eyebrows, and used his fingertips to brush away the leaves by his side, "This Dongfang Weiming has a child's personality now, why is he snatching wine from Shi Zhonggu? "It's quite strange!"

Ke Bozhao laughed and said, "Master might not know, but when Shi Zhonggu heard of this matter, he immediately ran to the Regent's Mansion door and scolded for a few hours. Regent's Mansion had always been shut and unable to come out, so this matter can only be left unsettled. "

"That wine maniac will at most curse and curse people. If they really fight, I'll have a pile of old bones …" Qi Yunshan sighed, "Back then, Shi Zhonggu could also be considered to have some ambitions, but who would have thought that he would fall to such a state. I don't know if I should say that his feelings are too great, or if he is too foolish and short-sighted? "

Ke Bozhao laughed, and stood in the courtyard smelling the extremely good plum blossom fragrance. The night was as cool as water, and the fragrance of flowers was faint. The scenery of this Taifu Mansion was most likely concentrated here. As far as the eye could see, there was a lantern burning beneath the plum blossom tree. Within the pitch-black area, there was a resplendent light, as if stars were twinkling. He had never thought that this Plum Blossom could be so dazzling. It made him think of a person he had never met before … Woman!
