Zhao Jing was the emperor after all, he would not be rude to her to such an extent.

"Oh right, did something happen when Qi Yunshan returned from the Royal Tomb?" Zhao Jing asked.

Ke Bozhao thought for a bit. Could it be that the emperor had noticed something amiss? After returning from the Royal Tomb, Qi Yunshan did not look too right. He seemed to have let go of everything, and was sizing up the power that was about to be released.

"Why, is it inconvenient to answer?" Zhao Jing did not understand.

Ke Bozhao shook his head, "Reporting to the emperor, it's not that it's inconvenient to answer, it's just that this subject doesn't know how to reply."

"Long story short then." Zhao Jing looked at him, sat up slightly, and listened attentively.

Seeing this, Ke Bozhao sighed, and spoke slowly, "The Emperor has no idea, but ever since the Grand Tutor came back from the Royal Tomb, he lived in seclusion, and only grew flowers and grass in his backyard, looking very comfortable. Right now, the entire imperial court is guessing, that Imperial Tutor is about to be disarmed and return to the field, and is not going through with the world anymore! "

Zhao Jing was not anxious, and only chuckled, "Don't bother with worldly affairs? It seemed like he wanted to train his body and mind, but in this world, it was easy to enter, but hard to jump out. He had already experienced the taste of power, so how could he be willing to let go? What does the Prime Minister think? "

Ke Bozhao seemed to have thought of something, "Your subject believes that this matter is not that simple! A storm was brewing, and the quieter it was, the more it explained the problem. The Emperor also knows that the Imperial Tutor is this subject's teacher, and that there is also a debt of gratitude to the Emperor. However, in this world, being an official of the Courtier is a matter of being loyal to the Emperor, loyal to the Emperor! Thus, the emperor felt that this subject had no conscience, but …

"I like being a formidable person." Zhao Jing sighed, "We don't like tough bones, but we need tough bones. I don't like people who are ambitious, but I like to talk to smart people. Ke Bozhao, we like you a lot because we feel that you are in a hurry and you know how to change your ways. More importantly, you are good-looking! "

Ke Bozhao was startled. Was this also a reason?

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!" Ke Bozhao bowed in gratitude.

Zhao Jing laughed, "Don't even bother bowing, there aren't many people here!" He should know what she was doing. Some words were indeed unsuitable for an outsider to be present, as some people would feel awkward. Acting was something important, and there was no room for mistakes.

"Sit down!" Zhao Jing said, "We will have a good talk with you."

Ke Bozhao then sat on the bedside stool, looked at the pale-faced Zhao Jing who had a smile on his lips, "The Emperor has treated this official well, this subject will definitely swear loyalty to him."

"You know that I'm like a puppet in this palace, so I don't need to be reminded of my promise." Zhao Jing was a little disappointed, "Those empty words, I can't hold back. Ke Bozhao, we need you to prove your loyalty to us by using your information or your answer. If I want to live forever, I can only do it like this! Do you understand? "

Ke Bozhao nodded, "This subject understands! On the other side of the border, this official has already made some movements, but needs concrete evidence, so I hope that Your Majesty can wait. "

"I'm not afraid of waiting. I have plenty of time to do so if I can afford it!" But we are afraid that Qi Yunshan will not be able to wait any longer. As he gets older, the swelling in the depths of his heart will only become more and more anxious. " Zhao Jing let out a long breath, "We have a feeling that Qi Yunshan still has a trump card, and that just because of Qi Rufeng's death, he did not shift the focus of his power onto you!"

Ke Bozhao's gaze darkened. "Your majesty wants to know, is there a way out for Qi Yunshan? Qi Rufeng was the only son that Qi Yunshan revealed himself to, and it was absolutely impossible to hope for the empress. The empress had always been a woman, so she couldn't place bets on Taifu Mansion! If Qi Yunshan really has a trump card, it might be related to a rumor! "

"What rumor?" Zhao Jing asked.

"The Taifu Mansion is a secretive secret." Ke Bozhao thought for a while, "Qi Yunshan has a concubine, but very few people have seen it. Furthermore, I heard that this concubine gave him a child. Of course, if it really is a son, then Qi Yunshan's authority will not be transferred to this official! "

Zhao Jing immediately sat up, because it was too sudden, he could not help but cough, "You said, you said that Qi Yunshan might have a son that has yet to appear? Son? the son of Qi Family?! "

"Yes sir!" Ke Bozhao nodded, "No one knows the specifics. Even in the Taifu Mansion, there were very few people who knew about this matter. After Qi Rufeng died, I had also sent people to keep an eye on him, but strangely, there was no news! There was no news at all! Within the Taifu Mansion, not even a shadow of a ghost appeared. From this, it can be seen how deep Qi Yunshan has hidden his mysterious successor! "

No news?" Zhao Jing felt that this was a huge problem! Qi Yunshan was hiding a child? In other words, a hidden heir? What's that Qi Rufeng? Throwing a brick to a piece of jade? If it was really like that, then Qi Rufeng's death at that time … Zhao Jing felt a chill in his heart. In Qi Yunshan's eyes, Qi Rufeng, as his son, was only a chess piece.

Hehe …

Zhao Jing felt that it was very, very sarcastic.

"If Qi Yunshan loves the son born from his concubine, then what does Qi Rufeng count as?" Zhao Jing's eyes suddenly reddened, "Isn't Qi Rufeng his son? They are all their own kind, shouldn't they be connected by blood? "

Ke Bozhao frowned as he looked at Zhao Jing. Why was the emperor so excited?

"For the sake of my throne, my mother is willing to sacrifice her life. These are blood relatives! " Zhao Jing stared at Ke Bozhao, "We have always believed that even if the people of this world were to betray you, the people who gave birth to and raised you, how can they bear to deprive you of your life like this? I believe that Mother loves me, so she is willing to die for me! Could it be that the feelings a father has for his son will never be the same as the feelings a mother has for her? "

Ke Bozhao took a deep breath and laughed dryly, a bitter taste in his voice, "Your Majesty only knows that the empress dowager is willing to be Your Majesty's mother to the sons of officials. But does the Emperor know what preference is? His parents' beloved son was willing to do something profound! However, the love that my parents have for me is enough to make my flesh and blood relatives into sworn enemies! "

Zhao Jing stared fixedly at Ke Bozhao, her eyes staring straight at him, as though she did not dare believe it, but at the same time seemed to be deep in thought. It was hard to say whether he was fond of such matters! There was no reason for some preferences. It was probably just a glance, as long as it was fated, this was the only explanation! Even among parents and relatives, there was only one destiny. Those who were not fated to be together, even if they were of the same bloodline, were to be fated to be even worse than strangers!

"The pure heart of the Emperor carries within him the kindness of nature from the very beginning. However, the Emperor had forgotten that being naturally kind-hearted was only the beginning. After soaking in this mortal world for so long, there was no such thing as kindness. Even if there is, can you guarantee that kindness comes from nothing? Desire was not pure kindness! "Desire!" Ke Bozhao sighed, "This subject will continue to watch over this matter, if there is any news, report it to the Emperor!"

Zhao Jing finally regained his senses and woodenly nodded his head.

Ke Bozhao thought that the last bit of warmth in the little Emperor's heart should be the life that the empress dowager had given him! [If the love of a parent is determined in this world, then the little emperor must have lost all his emotional support!]

The interior of the Bedchamber was extremely quiet.

Wei Shuge stood guard outside. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was not at ease. She took a glance at the direction of the Imperial Palace Services Office, Zhao Yuannan should have already taken over the internal affairs of the Imperial Palace Services Office by now, right?

In two years of time, he went from Noble Heir of Prince Su Palace to an Inner Palace eunuch of the Qianyuan Hall, and finally became an Inner Palace Chief Eunuch of the Qianyuan Hall. Now that he had even sat on a Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace Services Office, it wasn't easy to say it was easy. To be a good servant, he had to first disregard himself as a human being. Only in this way would he be able to serve the emperor and preserve his life! After all, he, Zhao Yuannan, was a sinful slave who was struggling at death's door, and all of this was thanks to Dongfang Weiming!

At this moment, Zhao Yuannan was standing in the main hall. His fingertips caressed the exquisite sandalwood chairs, from the armrest to the back of the chair. He looked at the chair, and at the many people in the palace staring at it, wishing that they could gamble their lives on it. But how easy was this position? Jiang Qingfeng had gotten sick for no reason at all, and Fu Shengquan's unexplained death was just a sudden death in the eyes of outsiders.

Now, this position had fallen into Zhao Yuannan's hands.

Chong Yuu stepped forward and bowed, "Eunuch!"

"Are you sure you did it all?" Zhao Yuannan's voice was heavy as he stood with his back facing her. His slender fingers slowly gripped the armrest of the chair, the veins on the back of his hand bulging slightly.

"Don't worry, eunuch!" Chong Yuu retracted his gaze.

Behind her, there was a guard kneeling down. This guard was called — Sang Zhong! He was her childhood sweetheart, and the person she trusted the most. Even if all the people in the world would betray her, Sang Zhong would not either, because for her, Sang Zhong would not hesitate to risk his life.

But Chong Yuu...

Chong Yuu raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuannan who remained silent, a look of happiness in his eyes: "Congratulations, Eunuch.

Zhao Yuannan sat down, his palm still rubbing the armrest of the chair. The corner of his mouth curled up into a slight smile. Gradually, the smile became increasingly wider and more insolent. In the end, it turned into a crazed laughter. This laughter was truly ear-piercing! However, only he himself knew whether it was the laughter of the victors or the release of extreme pain.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped. Zhao Yuannan raised his head and exhaled a long breath. His eyes were closed and his brow was slightly furrowed, as if he was lost in some sort of train of thought.

"Eunuch?" Chong Yuu shouted again.

In the next moment, Zhao Yuannan suddenly opened his eyes, and stared straight at Chong Yuu, who was in front of him.

Chong Yuu's heart thumped loudly. Zhao Yuannan's sudden change of mood made him nervous. She didn't know what Zhao Yuannan wanted to do, she only knew that Zhao Yuannan had succeeded.

However, she didn't know that Sang Zhong behind her had tightened his body as he stared at her back without blinking. If Zhao Yuannan dared to silence him, Sang Zhong would definitely not stand by the side and watch.

At this moment, Chong Yuu had already walked to the front of Zhao Yuannan, and was slowly squatting down, quietly kneeling at Zhao Yuannan's feet. "Eunuch?"

Zhao Yuannan's eyes had actually become especially gentle. He bent down to look at Chong Yuu, and reached out his hand to caress her face, "You know so many secrets of this humble house, so you're not afraid of this humble house … Kill you? " As he spoke, his hand had already reached her neck, and in the next moment, he tightened his grip.

A suffocating feeling engulfed Chong Yuu's entire body.
