Inside the Spring Wind Paradise, the screen was still there, the zither was still there, and the green smoke still lingered.

"Where is he?" Qi Yunshan asked coldly.

The old procuress hurriedly bowed. "I left the lady here, this time …" He just left! We don't know where that went, and we don't dare to ask for the whereabouts of the lady, please forgive us! "

Qi Yunshan did not utter a word, only glancing at the zither shadows behind the screen, and immediately started walking, leaving the Spring Wind Paradise without even turning his head back.

"How come Imperial Tutor is so fast today?" The guard was startled. Judging from his speed, he probably didn't even sit down?

"Go back as you came!" Qi Yunshan got on the carriage and left the area of Spring Wind Paradise without looking back.

When Qi Yunshan left, a thin figure appeared behind the screen screen of private room once again. The candle shadow swayed, and green smoke curled upwards. The zither music once again rang out, its sound lingering around the beam. His fingertips moved across the strings of the zither, and the sound of an empty valley slowly rang out. "You're already here, aren't you planning to enter? If that's the case, then go back! I don't believe that you have nothing to say after following them for so long. "

As the voice faded, a figure pushed open the door and entered.

The moment this person entered, the light in the room disappeared and everything became pitch black.

The zither music abruptly stopped as a fingertip pressed against the zither strings. The woman's voice sounded in the quiet room, but it was also exceptionally clear and spirited, "Your martial arts are extremely high, why do you need to depend on Taifu Mansion?"

"A high level of martial arts does not mean that one can do as he pleases." It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Even if he had the courage to be invincible, it was still difficult to fight against tens of thousands of people, wasn't it? "Against the imperial government, even those in the martial arts world would not have a good ending." The man's voice was heavy. "What about you? You are interested, but you are also interested. Why are you cooperating with Qi Yunshan? "

The woman laughed, "You've already told me the answer, what else do you want me to say? Actually, our goal is very simple. To put it bluntly, I want to ask for fame and benefits, but what you want is much simpler. Your life, as long as you are willing to stain your hands in blood, that is enough! "

At that moment, no one spoke. Everyone understood that they were all seen through. A wise man doesn't get tired when he talks to a wise man. Like now, you know what I want, and I know what you want.

"What's next?" the man asked.

"What do you think, Mister Jiang?" The sound of the zither rang out once more. In the darkness, the sound of the zither rose and fell one after another. It was like mountains and rivers flowing down to the tips of one's fingers.

It was none other than the mysterious guest in Qi Yunshan's residence — Jiang Chengbai. At this moment, Jiang Chengbai was safely seated in his room, it was just a screen away from the lady. However, he did not seem to plan to push open the screen and break the last layer of window paper. Sometimes, it was inappropriate to see it too clearly. People had to maintain a sense of mystery between themselves in order to threaten each other.

"Qi Yunshan is very respectful to you." Jiang Chengbai opened his mouth, "You know, what do you mean by 'respect'!?"

"So what if I know?" The woman asked coldly, "What can you change if you know? Jiang Chengbai, what position do you think you are in now? How far is it from your goal? The capital was not a borderland. Everyone was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to tell whether the person standing in front of them was a human or a ghost. Regent's Mansion, Prime Minister's Estate, no matter which side, can crush you to death! "

Jiang Chengbai smirked in the dark, "Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare." The woman continued, "You were specifically invited back by Taifu Mansion, how could I dare to threaten you? In the end, it was just a deal. Everyone was doing what they needed to do, so why bother too much? It doesn't matter as long as they achieve their goals. What's wrong with this? "It's better for one more person to work together than for one more person to get in the way!"

"You're right!" Jiang Chengbai laughed, "Since that's the case, then let's cooperate happily."

The woman scoffed, "You agreed just like that? Don't you want to think about it? Mister Jiang, are you not afraid of regret? "

"Don't think that I don't know who is standing behind you!" Jiang Chengbai's faint voice reverberated within the room, her expression revealing a clear sense of coldness. This sort of cold feeling caused everyone's hearts to tremble, as if someone had seen through their thoughts.

Within the room, the only sound was the girl's cold laughter, nothing else.

In the blink of an eye, the space behind the screen was emptied, leaving only the green smoke behind.

Everything that had happened in the capital had happened too quickly. With the swift and swift Regent's Mansion, the emperor had been found in time and the emperor had been sent back to the palace. The assassination of the emperor had naturally taken a turn for the better. As long as he was fine, everything was fine!

Zhao Jing was still recuperating, but he did not dare to be careless when it came to matters of the imperial court. The New Year's Eve was over, and some matters would soon be brought up, such as the matter of choosing a wife! Zhao Jing knew all of this, but the officials had already begun to operate it in private, waiting for Zhao Jing's last Jade Seal to fall, to send him to the palace, to fill it up for her!

"Your majesty, Prime Minister Ke is here!" Zhao Yuannan entered the door and saluted.

Zhao Jing frowned, her complexion turning slightly white as she glanced at him, "Why did you suddenly think of entering the palace? What's the news? "

"After Prime Minister made a trip to the Taifu Mansion area, he was unable to endure it any longer and was forced to change heaven and earth. It is likely that they have come for the sake of the Ministry of Justice. Since the Emperor was ambushed, the three provinces and the six tribes are all on tenterhooks, and all of them have overseer's unfavorable responsibilities, especially the Ministry of Justice. " Zhao Yuannan said in a low voice, "Your majesty, do you still want to see more?"

Zhao Jing sighed, "Even if you came, how could you not see me? "Even if it's the problem with Ministry of Justice, dodging is not a solution. Dongfang Weiming has to do it sooner or later, we need to prepare in advance, and we need to listen to what Ke Bozhao has to say."

"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan went out.

After a while, Ke Bozhao followed Zhao Yuannan in, respectfully standing in front of Zhao Jing and bowing, "Long live My Emperor."

Zhao Jing leaned on the soft couch as he brought in the medicine to help Zhao Jing take his medicine. Inside the Bedchamber, there was a light smell of medicine, the sweet fragrance was pleasing to the nose, and those who were disgusted with it would only feel that the stench was unbearable. However, Ke Bozhao felt that this faint medicinal fragrance made the Emperor have an aura of both hardness and gentleness. The emperor drank the medicine with a frown and elegantly stuffed the sweet hawthorn into his mouth. However, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he gave off a cute appearance.

When she was taking the medicine, Ke Bozhao had been standing quietly by the side the whole time. Her lips had a bit of an unintentional smile, and the light in her eyes was extremely gentle.

After consuming the medicine, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan bowed and left, leaving Ke Bozhao and Zhao Jing to face off against each other.

"Sit down!" Zhao Jing said, "There aren't many people here, we don't like to talk with our heads tilted." After saying that, she coughed a few times. She frowned as she looked at the table.

Ke Bozhao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, he turned around and brought the Sweet 'n' Sour Hawthorn 'on the table in front of Zhao Jing, along with a plate.

"My beloved one is deeply in my heart!" Zhao Jing poked the sweet hawthorn into his mouth, suppressing the bitter taste in his mouth.

"Does the Emperor feel better?" Since the confrontation with Dongfang Weiming, it had been a long time since Ke Bozhao had entered the palace. Since it was close to the new year, the Imperial Court was very busy. Secondly, Ke Bozhao did not have the ability to contend with Dongfang Weiming, so according to the situation, he should avoid it, so as to not create trouble for himself. A scalding sweet potato that cannot be swallowed, there was no need to try to be brave.

"Didn't you see it all?" Zhao Jing sighed, "Since the moment I ascended the throne, I have been taking medicine, and have not really adapted to this palace. I have suffered from a lot of diseases and have consumed a lot of medicine, but it has no effect on me." She gave him a helpless smile. "However, Zhen won't dare to lie down so easily. No matter what, we have to hold on. The sky in Grand Xia won't collapse!"

"Yes sir!" Ke Bozhao nodded, and continued to hold the plate with both hands, "Your majesty, this assassination attempt has truly scared this humble official, but fortunately, Your Majesty is safe and sound. It's just that this assassin has yet to be found. I wonder if Your Majesty has any doubts? "

Zhao Jing thought, was this Ke Bozhao here to trick him? She immediately let out a long sigh, revealing a look of shared worry on her face. It seemed like she was very worried as well, "Actually, even I wasn't sure. Back then, the streets were in chaos, and I didn't even see who was in front of me before I was struck by a sword. If it were not for the fact that I missed out on this sword thrust, I'm afraid that this country would have already passed away. "

Ke Bozhao's heart tightened, "Long live the My Emperor, God bless our Emperor, he will definitely turn the situation around."

"It's not that important to live forever. As long as peace reigns in this world and peace reigns in the country, we will be satisfied. We can also be considered to be worthy of the Dragon Robe that Previous Emperor is wearing." Zhao Jing leaned on the soft couch, chewing on a sweet hawthorn as he calculated in his heart. Ke Bozhao did not have any news of an assassin, so what would he say next?

Ke Bozhao nodded, and looked at the emperor's eyes with worry, "The emperor does not know, but things are not peaceful in the capital, so the Regent used this matter to change all the high positions in the Jing Ji Fu. In the future, when Regent's Jing Ji Fu, Military Department and the imperial guards were all present, all of the capital's defenses would land on Regent's Mansion's body. Does the Emperor know what this means? "

Zhao Jing did not speak, he only tensed up.

"In all the dynasties, these officials have been separated. I'm afraid that the Courtier has ulterior motives. Once they control all the defenses of the capital, the capital will become a lonely city." Ke Bozhao narrowed her eyes, "This subject does not know what His Majesty is planning, I am only worried that Regent has already grasped the military power. Your Majesty, there have been examples like this throughout the ages! "

"I understand what you mean." "But the Prime Minister should also know that for Dongfang Weiming, the only reason he kept us alive was because the world of Da Xia needed a descendant from the Zhao family to cover it up. "If you cannot give justice to the law and if you are unable to do so in the future, you will be the unruly criminal."

Ke Bozhao nodded his head, the emperor actually knew in his heart, but Dongfang Weiming's power had been increasing, to the point where he could not hold on to anyone. Now that even Qi Yunshan had started to maintain his silence, who could deal with him?

Zhao Jing said again, "Actually, it's not that I have never thought of crippling Dongfang Weiming, but our wings have yet to grow, so the only thing I can do now is to endure! A hundred tolerance can turn into gold, a small patience can turn into a big scheme. "The reason why I thought of him as a snake is that one day, I will be able to hit him with one blow. Otherwise, if I am unable to kill him, I will be the one to suffer the consequences. I cannot afford to lose!"

If she lost, it would be a change in dynasties!

"Your majesty the Emperor!" Ke Bozhao stood up and bowed, he was still holding the plate of sweet hawthorn fruits in his hands.

Zhao Jing looked at him, and laughed out loud, then picked up the plate and placed it in his hand: "Always holding it, and not afraid of getting tired."

Ke Bozhao was stunned for a moment, and then his face started to flush slightly.
