"What does Uncle mean by this?" Zhao Jing slowly loosened his fist, "Could it be that this Uncle wants to commit suicide in front of me? "If that is the case, then I shall be a sinner for all eternity."

Dongfang Weiming suddenly laughed, with such a profound meaning, he reached out and caressed her tender cheeks, but the look in his eyes was extremely cold, "It seems like the Emperor doesn't want to kill this subject for a day or two, but it's a pity that even if I were to put my life in front of the Emperor, would you dare take it?"

Zhao Jing leaned in close to him, the corners of her eyes raised slightly, as she imitated his usual posture. With a cold smile, she said, "If Uncle dares to give it to us, we dare to take it. "However, whether or not I can afford it will still depend on whether or not my life is tough enough."

"Then is Your Majesty's life tough enough?" Dongfang Weiming asked with a smile.

In the midst of his heavy exhalation, Zhao Jing grabbed his clothes. The two of them faced each other, nose to nose, and their warm breath lingered between each other, dying the corners of their eyes red. She inhaled and exhaled the breath that belonged to him. How could he not want to give her a taste? However, people were always greedy. Once they tasted the flavor, they would never be willing to let it go. Their shadows were reflected in each other's pupils as they were dyed in ink. Only they had never seen anyone else.

"What do you think, Uncle?" Zhao Jing released her hand, and her palm landed on his chest, just as she was about to push him away. Being too close, he felt weak in his heart, as if he had been seen through. She really didn't like this feeling at all. It was as if he had thoroughly observed everything in the depths of her heart.

The moment she let go, he took the opportunity to grab her waist and quickly pushed her into his embrace. The lips touched, a cold and a hot rubbing caused one's heart to itch unbearably. However, he did not take any further action. He just hugged her, using his own warm lips to rub against her ice-cold lips.

"Uncle …" Zhao Jing felt his heartbeat quicken, "It's already dawn, how long do you think Uncle can keep us hidden for? The world outside is in chaos. If this continues, the skies of the Grand Xia will probably change. "

"It can't be changed!" His voice was heavy, and he looked at her lazily.

Dongfang Weiming slowly got up. After seeing him leave the bedside, she finally let out a sigh of relief. It was too dangerous to try to get close to him. She shouldn't have gotten too close to him anyway. If everything was done too quickly, fate would definitely end it early. This was a well-established rule.

Zhao Jing leaned on the bedpost, "When does Uncle plan to send us back to the palace?"

"The Emperor was in such a hurry to go back, did he commit a love affair?" Dongfang Weiming stared at her coldly.

Zhao Jing shuddered, he was actually covered in goosebumps, "The peach blossoms are about to bloom, Uncle has suddenly gotten excited, and is looking at everyone else who is as dirty as you, even thinking about those things in your pants when you have nothing to do, you're not afraid of being laughed at. Uncle has yet to forget about love, and has not thought of me as the same as you. We might as well clearly tell Uncle as well, for those affairs of a young girl, I do not think much of them, so Uncle need not waste this thought, so as to not cause trouble for ourselves. "

Dongfang Weiming's body stiffened slightly, and he was unable to say a single word for a long while. After a long while, he finally let out a slightly disdainful snort, "Didn't you say you were going back to the palace? Why are you still refusing to leave? Am I supposed to personally carry the emperor back? If that's the case, as long as the Emperor requests for it, this subject will definitely submit to him. "

"Forget it!" Zhao Jing stood up, but his body was still extremely cold. It was a good thing that it wasn't frozen like before, and it eased up a lot under the covers. Zhao Jing held onto his injury, and before he left, he took a look at himself in the mirror, his face was as white as paper, "I am afraid this injury cannot be hidden."

"If I can't hide it, then there's no need to hide it." Dongfang Weiming stepped out of the door.

Zhao Jing's eyes darkened, "Aren't you afraid that the consequences will be too great? "If we pursue this matter any further, I will not only die …"

"There is no need for Your Majesty to remind me. This subject knows very well." Dongfang Weiming walked in front while Zhao Jing followed behind. He walked away quickly, and did not hesitate at all. He wanted to stop and wait for her meaning so that Zhao Jing was unable to see the changes in his expression.

"Dongfang Weiming." Zhao Jing growled, "You are moving too fast, we can't keep up."

"If you can't keep up, then just don't follow." He had already put some distance between himself and her. "Your majesty should return to the palace by himself. This subject still has matters to attend to, so this subject will not escort the emperor back to the palace. This subject will take his leave!" Although her words were perfect, she did not behave with the respect that a Courtier should have. He walked so freely that he turned a corner without looking back and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Zhao Jing held onto the railing, looking at the direction that Dongfang Weiming disappeared in, he couldn't help but hold onto his own wound. Initially, he did not feel such pain, but today, it was extremely painful and itchy. But Zhao Jing did not dare to extend his hand to scratch it, in case his wound reopened. After all, she was such a lifesaver!

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jing groaned.

Zhou Zhiji appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared behind Zhao Jing, shocking him to the point that he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Walking without any sound, he really is the reincarnation of cats and dogs." Zhao Jing scolded lightly.

"Long live the Emperor!" Zhou Zhiji bowed, "This lowly subordinate shall escort the Emperor back to the palace in the name of the Duke."

Hearing that, Zhao Jing brushed his sleeves and left, but he did not dare to leave in a hurry, in order to avoid tearing his wound. The carriage was parked in the backyard, and there were even many carefully selected Regent's Mansion elites. It could be seen that Dongfang Weiming had long prepared everything.

"Your majesty, please!" Zhou Zhiji made a gesture.

When Zhao Jing got on the carriage, he subconsciously looked around.

"Your Majesty, the Regent has left the manor." Zhou Zhiji explained.

"Who said I was looking for him?" Zhao Jing's face became sullen and quickly entered the carriage. The moment he sat down, he felt like he was a thief. He felt guilty. It was a good thing that she quickly stopped thinking about what she was doing, and returned to the palace. Only when she returned to the palace and met Wei Shuge and the others would she have the chance to take care of the things that would happen next.

Dongfang Weiming's absence was clearly meant to accomplish something big, and this big matter was definitely related to her. With the emperor's injuries, who knows how many officials he could pull into the water, to purge Qi Yunshan's power in the empire to the extent of changing the imperial government's blood. To Dongfang Weiming, this was definitely the best chance.

The horse carriage slowly headed back to the palace. A shadow flashed outside the palace, and it was unknown whose eyes it was.

When Zhao Jing returned to the palace, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan had already heard the news and were waiting outside the Qianyuan Hall. When Zhao Jing entered the Bedchamber, Wei Shuge, Zhao Yuannan and Lee Yiheng all fell to their knees with a thud, and the ones outside the hall knelt with a black mass on the ground. No matter who it was, they couldn't afford the crime of losing the Emperor. They had to obey the law and execute him!

"Your majesty, please forgive us for our incompetence, but we have frightened the emperor. We, as servants, deserve to die!" Everyone said in unison.

"I'm tired. Whatever it is, I'll tell you after I wake up." Zhao Jing was not in a hurry to punish them, "Shuge and Hui Sheng will stay, everyone else will leave." However, she was tired and tired, and her wounds were itching badly, so she could not bear it any longer. She wholeheartedly wanted to be seen first so that no one would see what she should not.

The Bedchamber gate closed as Lee Yiheng stood guard outside. Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge looked worriedly at Zhao Jing. Wei Shuge still had some lingering fear in his heart, he quickly looked around Zhao Jing, "The emperor's complexion is very bad, are you injured?"

At that time, Zhao Jing was injured, and she was further away from him. Furthermore, they were separated by the crowd, so Wei Shuge did not pay close attention to her. It was just that later on, when Wei Shuge continued to search for Zhao Jing and saw the traces of blood on the ground that Zhao Jing had stood on, his heart burned fiercely, and he vaguely felt that Zhao Jing was injured. Seeing Zhao Jing's pale white face and the change in his expression as he walked, Wei Shuge was even more certain of his thoughts, because Zhao Jing was most likely injured.

Zhao Jing did not hide it from them, and slowly nodded, "I took a sword strike, but I didn't manage to see clearly who did it, so I was unable to answer any of your questions." She held onto her chest that was in pain, "The wound has already been treated with medicine. As long as it doesn't split open again, there won't be much of a problem. Don't worry, I can still hold on. It's just that I've troubled you all and looked for me for an entire night. Actually, I went to seek refuge in Regent's Mansion after my accident, only … "

Zhao Yuannan was startled, "However, the Regent did not want to make it public, so they hid the Emperor from the public. As a result, the Military Department and Jing Ji Fu searched the entire capital, and dispatched all of the imperial guards outside the palace. But everyone has thought of all sorts of things, and never would have thought that the Emperor's Regent's Mansion is right here and now. "

"Because no one would dare search the Regent's Mansion." Wei Shuge sighed lightly, "It's fortunate that Your Majesty is fine."

Zhao Yuannan expressed his agreement and nodded, "It's just that there was a lingering fear, the scene was so chaotic, the assassins suddenly appearing from the procession, it was really scary. "Who actually sent these people here?"

"Furthermore, no matter who sent them, their target was extremely clear. They were here for the emperor." Wei Shuge said coldly, "Before the emperor returned to the palace, Xia Hong sent a message, saying that Nangong Zui had come looking for her!"

Zhao Jing squinted his eyes, and asked puzzledly: "Why?" Why was he looking for Jing Hong? What did this assassination have to do with Jing Hong? What was Nangong Zui planning?

Wei Shuge said, "Your majesty might not know, but Nangong Zui went to find Jinghong because of the assassination attempt on Your Majesty. He wanted Jinghong to use the power of the devil palace and ask about some things in the martial arts world, including some people who were ready to make a move. See if any Jianghu people have been in close contact with the court recently? Your Majesty, do you think this means … "

"Nangong Zui suspects that this matter was not done directly by the people in the imperial court. Maybe he invited some people from the martial arts world? This matter will be related to the martial arts people? " Zhao Jing was also a little confused.

"Jing Hong said, Nangong Zui felt that the wounds on the corpses of the dead soldiers were extremely strange, like they were caused by the martial arts of the martial artists in the martial arts world." Wei Shuge explained, "But when he said that, this servant did remember something."

Zhao Jing looked at her with a frown, "What did you remember?"

"Not long ago. About two or three years ago." Wei Shuge carefully recalled, "After this group of people appeared, they formed a very evil sect."

"What sect?" Zhao Yuannan asked.
