Although Zhao Jing's health was the price, she was still alive, so Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge were not affected.
Zhao Jing was on the verge of death, but at least Imperial Physician Xiao Yuan was capable.
"Fortunately, Regent protected the emperor's heart veins in time and used his internal energy to expel some of the poison from the emperor's body. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Xiao Yuan kept his syringe, "This humble subject will prescribe a prescription for His Majesty to suppress the poison. After I return to my Imperial Hospital to discuss it with the imperial physicians, I'll think of a way to resolve the poison thoroughly."
Zhao Jing blinked his eyes and looked at Dongfang Weiming who appeared at the door. Suddenly, she could not understand the man in front of her. Everyone could see that he had risked his life to save her.
Xiao Yuan withdrew, and the Bedchamber became empty again. Only the two of them looked at each other.
She did not take the antidote pill. When he forced the poison out of her, he could feel that the poison in her body was as fierce as a wolf or a tiger. Therefore, Dongfang Weiming felt that this matter should not have any direct relation to Zhao Jing.
Dongfang Weiming sat on the edge of the bed and gently hugged her in his embrace, allowing her to lean against his body. His fingertips dug into her bun. The rough fingertips caressed her scalp, and the comfort and gentleness of it made her entire body relax.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This humble subject is more familiar with the matters of the palace than Your Majesty, so this humble subject will definitely not allow a second time." He lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. Due to the poison, her previously fair skin had now turned even paler. However, there was also a benefit to being pale. One could vaguely sense that it had been carved from unpolished jade.
Zhao Jing laid on his lap. Her soft and weak appearance made others feel pity for her. Her eyes were closed and her long eyelashes were half-lidded, as if she were asleep, or as if she couldn't sleep at all. In fact, her mind was very clear, and she had heard it clearly, when facing Dongfang Weiming, how could she dare to relax her guard? However, Dongfang Weiming was indeed a good servant, his touching felt really good. Even Wei Shuge had never done something like this!
"This subject knows that His Majesty is not feeling well, but the poison has been found. It was administered by the young eunuch in the royal kitchen. Even though she is gone, fortunately the medicine is still there. The Imperial Hospital side will definitely take out the antidote as soon as possible. " Dongfang Weiming's hands moved a little slower. "Your Majesty, who does this to your Majesty? If one move doesn't work, then another will. Each and every move is fatal! "
Zhao Jing's long eyelashes slightly raised, and drew mottled shadows on her lower eyelids. Wasn't the person who wanted her life himself? This Bastard was really thick-skinned to the point that he was invincible.
"I can't guess, my mind is muddled." Zhao Jing sounded weak, "Why not let Uncle guess, who exactly has such great ability to dare to make a move under Uncle's nose?"
"Although I say that my body is weak, it is rare to see someone with a clear mind looking at their mouth like this." Dongfang Weiming said in a mocking tone. Even at this time, he did not forget to ridicule her, "Things that the Emperor cannot guess. The palace is the emperor's residence, how can it be counted as right under this humble subject's nose? If people were to hear it, they would think that I have some ulterior motives. Even if I had ten heads, it would not be enough to kill you! "
Zhao Jing laughed, and laughed until he was weak, "Uncle's head is full of thorns, who in the world would dare to have it? However, this life of mine is rather frivolous. There was even someone who was injured twice in front of our house. This joke will probably make the people in the capital laugh for the better part of half a year! "
"Who dares to laugh at your majesty the Emperor? Your subject just broke his neck, is your majesty satisfied with this? " He smiled warmly and looked at her as if he was looking at a tiger cub that he had raised himself. There was a hint of sharpness in his gentleness. However, she could not understand him, so how could he really guess what was on his daughter's mind?
"Then why not break Uncle's neck first. After all, in the past, the only person who would laugh at us would be you, Uncle!" Zhao Jing coughed softly. His throat was boiling, accompanied by a strong stench of blood. Fortunately, this feeling disappeared very quickly. She didn't know why, but she felt as if something had washed away the poison in her body. At that moment, it was running wild in her body, but it didn't feel too uncomfortable. Only cold sweat flowed down her forehead from time to time.
Dongfang Weiming naturally noticed her abnormality at first glance, and immediately helped her up and sat her down. He held her skinny shoulders tightly with both of his hands, and stared at her pale face, "It's hard to bear?"
Zhao Jing looked at him, and forcefully swallowed down the sweet taste in his throat, but was unable to say a word.
"Someone, summon the imperial physician!" As he said this, she had already reached out and pressed the back of his hand, probably to stop him. His voice suddenly stopped as he stared at the abnormally weak her. Suddenly, a strange emotion appeared in his heart, as if he would disappear with the wind at any time. It was like holding sand. The tighter he held it, the faster it flowed. In the end, he couldn't hold on to it anymore.
"I'm fine." "I am just tired, I just want to sleep with Uncle for a while."
Dongfang Weiming withdrew his gaze and obeyed, putting her down. Zhao Jing laid on his lap, her long eyelashes drooped down, and her pale lips trembled a little, "If there comes a day when Uncle wants to kill me, will you remember to warm up each other's heart at this very moment?"
"This humble subject is not cold!" "No," he said.
Instead, she tightly wrapped the blanket around her and curled the corner of her lips into a desolate arc. "But Zhen has never warmed up before …"
The surroundings suddenly quieted down. Her smile disappeared from his sight as she fell into a deep slumber.
Hearing Zhao Jing's even breathing, Dongfang Weiming faintly sighed as her palm slowly held onto the hand that was resting on his leg. It was as cold as if she had been soaked in cold water. No wonder she said that she had never felt warm at all. This body no longer belonged to her after she had entered the palace. No matter who it was, they would only feel a chill in their hearts.
He seemed to want to say something but opened his mouth, unable to speak. Forget it! There were some words that had no meaning now, so it was fine to not say them! Fortunately, her body was covered in cold sweat, and there was nothing abnormal about her sleep.
In the end, Dongfang Weiming suppressed the sound of his footsteps and walked out. When he arrived at the Bedchamber entrance, he turned his head to look at the direction of the bed and left the Qianyuan Hall with large strides.
Zhou Zhiji followed closely behind, "Master, do you really want a sinful slave to take over the position of Chief Eunuch in charge of Imperial Palace Services Office?"
"The Emperor doesn't believe any of them, and only the two beside him are willing to come close." Dongfang Weiming paused in his steps, his eyebrows slightly knitted. "The Emperor doesn't have any trusted people in the palace, so he is easily controlled by others. Furthermore, even if he meets with danger, he will not be able to save himself. The surrounding kingdoms are ready to make a move. This duke cannot let anything go wrong with the emperor, so there must be someone to guard the palace! The only one who can weigh Qi Yunshan against Ke Bozhao, is the Emperor! "
Zhou Zhiji nodded his head. His master was a man of foresight, and what he said was reasonable, it was just that … He still had some concerns. "But Master, in another year, it will be the year of the emperor's dance. You must know that the emperor will be personally governing soon!" "Once you are old enough, the desires of the people will be infinitely inflated. If you continue to give the emperor great authority, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it back by giving it to him in the end!"
It wasn't as if Dongfang Weiming hadn't thought about it, if Zhao Jing was going to take matters into his own hands, they would definitely be eradicated. After all, in the path of the imperial power, whether it was Regent's Mansion, or even Prime Minister's Estate, they were all obstacles to the emperor.
"So what if she has power one day? Some things are not things that she can afford to play with. " Zhou Zhiji naturally understood what he meant. Chicken Si Chen, that is absolutely impossible. No matter how powerful the Emperor was, could a woman ascend the throne to become emperor? If her identity was exposed, not only would she, Zhao Jing, not be able to protect her throne, her life would also be in danger.
Furthermore, Zhao Jing's body had the parasite, so from the beginning to end, her life was in Dongfang Weiming's hands. Even if Dongfang Weiming was willing to give her the authority, she would not be able to cause a ruckus.
Dongfang Weiming glanced back, then turned and left without even turning his head back.
When he left, he coincidentally saw Ke Bozhao entering the palace.
The moment they met on the palace path, Zhou Zhiji's heart thumped, he suddenly felt that something was amiss! What was wrong? Something was wrong with his eyes! What's wrong with your eyes? He looked like a love rival! One is cold, one is dark, you are looking at me, I am looking at you, just about to burst into sparks.
In the end, it was Ke Bozhao who came back to his senses and opened his mouth first, "Your Highness!"
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the Prime Minister to enter the palace." Dongfang Weiming slowly stepped forward, "Your majesty has rested. You won't be summoned for a moment or two."
"Then this official will wait!" Ke Bozhao was not inferior to her in any way, "Wait until the emperor wakes up and summons this official."
"He's really unwilling to give up!" Dongfang Weiming smiled sinisterly, "I'm not even done with the matters in the Sky Prison, how can I have the mood to take a stroll in the palace? Could it be that Imperial Tutor's pain has healed? This stab into the heart is a bit too fierce, even the gold, silver and white have all been chopped in half, what a pity! "
Ke Bozhao laughed, "Isn't the Regent also not that great? The one in the Celestial Prison was still hanging by a thread. Those from the palace, on the other hand, had put up their pigtails and gone to open a path for them at Yama Minamiya's place! This official is not willing to take care of this matter, and is only willing to let Ministry of Justice go through with it! What does Your Highness think? "
"Do you think that This King is the kind of person who would pretend to be a public servant?" Dongfang Weiming raised his eyebrows, and dragged out his last words, "Prime Minister, this is your mistake! Why are the eyes of the head of the officials crooked? "
"Yes, yes, yes. This official's eyes have grown crooked, so I can see that everyone's shadow is slanted!" Ke Bozhao laughed, "This official is guilty, please forgive me!" "This official will go to the Qianyuan Hall to guard it. When the emperor wakes up, Your Highness, please leave!"
With that, Ke Bozhao left with a brush of his sleeves.
Dongfang Weiming stood in place with his hands on his hips, and had a stiff and cold expression. Why is it that the more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel? What he said just now even made him feel sour?! It was truly disgraceful!
"Master, then are we still going to return to the Prince's Mansion?" Zhou Zhiji asked softly, looking at his master with a puzzled expression.
Dongfang Weiming cast a sidelong glance at him, "Does this grandpa have the word left behind on my face?"
