Dongfang Wenming was truly interested in Zhao Jing's Elder Brother Yue, but he was also interested. After all, he was a high and mighty regent. There were some things that he couldn't say, and he couldn't do them too clearly. Otherwise, it would be of no benefit to anyone. For a brief moment, Dongfang Wenming stared fixedly at Zhao Jing. He only felt a sense of exhaustion!

Zhao Jing was still in a coma, but after taking the medicine, her fever had died down. All these years, she had been suffering from a high fever, so she was already used to it.

Wei Shuge returned to Zhao Jing's side with a pale face. Dongfang Wenming didn't say anything, but rather stood up and left with Zhou Zhizhi. This master and servant both had ugly expressions, as though something had happened.

"Shuge?" Zhao Yuannan held his waist and staggered in, "Are you alright?"

Wei Shuge retracted her hand that was placed on Zhao Jing's forehead. She turned around and glanced at Zhao Yuannan. "The fever has subsided a bit. Are you alright?"

Nothing? Does Zhao Yuannan look fine? His face was extremely pale. If not for him gritting his teeth and dragging his legs, he would have already been lying down. He was neither Wei Shuge nor Li Yiheng. He did not have any Qi to protect himself with. The ten-sprung staff landed on his body and almost broke his spine. If he hadn't been bullied by an attendant all these years, he would have become a cripple by now! The servants of the Residence of Regent made their move. Unlike those from the palace who would act with snobbery and act leisurely, this was a real beating!

"He won't die!" Zhao Yuannan felt a sweet taste in his throat and swallowed it back. He heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at Zhao Jing lying on the bed. "As long as Your Majesty is fine!" The Emperor is safe and sound. As his servants, we are willing to die for him! "

Wei Shuge nodded. "The emperor has been used to it all these years. We're all used to it!" However, Wei Shuge still felt a faint worry in her heart. "It's just that this time, we left the city without informing the Regent's Estate. His Majesty even returned with an illness …" I wonder what the Regent will think, and how he will deal with the Emperor? "

"The Regent is used to being petty. If he were to know that the Emperor is in contact with an outsider, he would definitely be suspicious! The Plum Garden, Fanghua Temple and the Ten Li Plaza were all extremely unlucky. Even the poetry contest this time around … He might not be able to do it either! The Regent probably won't allow the Emperor to leave the palace so easily again! " Zhao Yuannan frowned, "That's not too good to do."

"Watch here, I'll go investigate!" Wei Shuge's eyes darkened. "Remember, no matter what happens, the first thing is …" She stared at Zhao Jing. "Protect the emperor first!"

"Alright!" Zhao Yuannan nodded. Probably because he was too nervous and his body was aching, cold sweat dripped down from Zhao Yuannan's forehead, "You have to be careful. This is the palace of the Regent, after all. I've heard that the Residence of Regent is filled with secret guards. You still have injuries, so you must try your best.

Wei Shuge gave a cold snort. "It's just a small injury like that, what's there to worry about!" Besides, can those trash catch me? I will be careful not to act recklessly. " It was also impossible for him to kill Dongfang Wenming for Zhao Jing at this critical juncture. At the moment, Zhao Jing still needed to remain in the East and calm the world.

Strangely, however, Wei Shuge searched for many places, but couldn't find any trace of the unknown's whereabouts. Just as she was feeling a little discouraged, she actually found this mysterious master and servant pair in the backyard of the Regent's Manor.

The reason why they were called mysterious was because Wei Shuge did not see a single dark guard here. Previously, when she had been circling around the Residence of Regent, she had paid attention to her every step of the way. She had indeed discovered quite a few hidden guards and secret guards. However, it seemed like the dark guards had been intentionally expelled here, and no one was allowed to be present. In his hands was a wooden box, and he didn't know what was inside, but the two of them were going to mysteriously run into the backyard.

In the next moment, Wei Shuge's eyes widened. What the hell are these two doing?!

He saw Zhou Zhizhi put down the wooden box in his hand and start digging a hole under the wutong tree in the backyard with the shovel. With this shovel and a shovel, Zhou Zhiqian dug out a square pit, clearly intending to bury the wooden box.

"Master, if you don't want this thing, then just throw it away. Why do you need to bury it in such a troublesome manner?" It's not like the branches are buried here. We won't be able to open up any branches or leaves in the coming spring, do we? " Zhou Zhizhi put down the shovel in his hand. His forehead was covered in sweat.

Dongfang Wenming stood with his hands behind his back. He gave him a cold look and then said in a cold voice, "Is it because the thing is too heavy or the shovel is too heavy? If you don't want to dig a hole and bury this thing, then bury yourself.

Zhou Zhiqian frowned, "This humble servant has spoken wrongly, this humble servant dares not!"

Wei Shuge had strong inner strength, so she naturally had good hearing. She could not help but curse in her heart: Even if you don't dare to say that much, Eastern Goblin Man will still be lucky if he doesn't pinch you to death!

"Bury it!" Dongfang Wenming sighed. "Burrow deeper. Don't be annoyed if you can't see!" After saying this, before Zhou Zhizhi could bury him, Dongfang Wenming had already left. It could be seen that he was truly angered by the contents of the box.

Wei Shuge was getting more and more curious. What on earth was this?! So much so that Dongfang Caiming, who was high above him and could control his own energy, was angered? After waiting for Zhou Zhizi to bury the wooden box and leave, Wei Shuge hid behind the beams of the veranda and waited for a long time. After making sure that the two of them would not return, she gracefully landed on the ground and quickly dug out the wooden box.

Although the wooden box had been personally buried by Dongfang Wenming, it was not locked. Clearly, it was not a valuable object. The moment she opened the wooden box, Wei Shuge felt an excruciating pain coming from her back. It was more accurate to say that her entire body was in pain. The pain made her suck in a breath of cold air. She quickly rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was mistaken.

"Why is it this?" Wei Shuge felt that if she wasn't seeing things, there was something wrong with her brain! There was something wrong with both master and servant's brains! He was still quite sick! After some thought, Wei Shuge grabbed a handful of the items inside the wooden box. She carefully placed the wooden box back into its original position and buried it in the ground again.

Returning to his room, Zhao Yuannan's eyes widened as he listened, "Peach blossom?" How could it be peach blossoms? "

Wei Shuge threw up her hands. "That's the truth!" They, master and servant, mysteriously carried a wooden box to the backyard and withdrew all of the hidden guards from the dark palace, all for the sake of burying … Burying a box of dried peach blossoms! "

Zhao Yuannan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down, "Something's wrong!"

"Who's sick?" Zhao Jing's weak voice came from the bed. She feebly opened her eyes and slowly turned her head to look at the two people standing by the bed. She struggled to get up a few times, "You two … "What are you talking about?"

"The emperor is awake?" Wei Shuge was overjoyed.

Zhao Yuannan immediately helped Zhao Jing up. Wei Shuge's hand froze in midair for a moment before she smiled and sat beside the bed. "How does the emperor feel?"

Zhao Jing leaned against the soft cushion, closing his eyes and calming his mind. "I feel better!" For some reason, he felt sleepy after leaving the Plaza. Who knew that he would lose consciousness after closing his eyes? Is it... Did it scare you? " She looked around, her sight seemed to be familiar, and her mind was a little muddled. She could not help but ask, "Where is this place?"

"Your majesty, it's the Regent's Manor!" Zhao Yuannan lowered his eyes and said, "Once we got back to the city, we were stopped by the Regent's Mansion and were brought directly into the Mansion."

"None of you look good!" Zhao Jing's sharp eyes were naturally like an eagle's. Nothing could be hidden from her. Since the two of them didn't say anything, Zhao Jing had already come to a conclusion. "Did Dongfang Ming punish you?"

"Lord Li was punished as well!" Wei Shuge sighed lightly. "Our punishment isn't that tight. The most important thing is for the emperor to be safe."

Zhao Jing had a faint smile on his face. "What were you talking about just now?" Who is sick? "

Zhao Yuannan knitted his brows slightly as he placed the dried peach blossoms in his palm in front of Zhao Jing. "Here, this is it!" Let Shuge say that she found out about this, she said it more clearly! "

Zhao Jing shifted his gaze to Wei Shuge when he heard this. He gently pinched the dried peach blossom with his fingertips. "What's wrong with this peach blossom?"

"We're not worried that the Regent won't be happy. What if he comes up with a crime to deal with our emperor? Isn't that spoiling his grand plans? So …" Wei Shuge glanced at the dried peach blossoms in Zhao Jing's hands. "This servant will follow the Regent. Who knows what sort of tricks he's playing? Two people sneakily carried a wooden box to the backyard, digging holes and burying things."

"This servant was curious, so I pulled the item out of the ground and opened the mysterious wooden box. In the end …" Wei Shuge gave a dry laugh. "The wooden box is filled with dried peach blossoms! This servant didn't understand what was going on, so she grabbed a handful of dried flowers and brought them back. Your Majesty, do you know what the meaning of being here is? "

"Peach Blossom?" Zhao Jing frowned as he looked at the dried peach blossoms in his palm. He couldn't help but lower his head with a bitter smile, and his voice was as light as a mosquito's. "Even if I plucked the peach blossoms, I wouldn't be able to return them to the capital unharmed. Drying with wind is the best choice. But after drying with wind …" He could no longer brew wine!

Peach blossom and autumn wine, after all, was just a dream of yellow sorghum, that's all!

"What is the Emperor saying?" Wei Shuge frowned. "This servant doesn't really understand!"

Zhao Jing took a deep breath. "Alright. It's most likely that the master and servant are playing around. You're not allowed to bring this up again. Otherwise, Dongfang Wenming might lose face and take revenge on you. When that happens, I won't be able to protect you!"

"Yes sir!" Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge said in unison.

"Clean up and head back to the palace!" Zhao Jing gazed out the window at the night sky.

"The Regent's side …" Zhao Yuannan was a little hesitant.

When he heard these words, Zhao Jing indifferently replied, "Leave him a message saying that Zhen is fine already. It will be hard to avoid guesses if the Li Palace has been here for too long!" "I will repay the favor of saving my life when my body gets better." With that, Zhao Jing walked out without hesitation.

Also?

How?

Zhao Yuannan and Wei Shuge looked at each other. The Emperor's words seemed a bit strange, but the Emperor was a person of unfathomable skills. It was normal for them to not understand him.

After exiting the room, Zhao Jing saw the octagonal tower and couldn't help but stop in his tracks. She straightened the shawl on her body and gloomily looked at the octagonal tower in the darkness. The star and moon had disappeared without a trace, and the octagonal tower had revealed a somewhat unconcealable expression. In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at her.

Zhao Jing felt an indescribable sense of panic in his heart. He immediately turned around and ran. It could even be described as him fleeing in a sorry state.

"Your majesty?" Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan cried out in alarm as they hurried to catch up.

The wind blew past the bronze bell, making it silent.

The red silk flapped in the air and whistled in the wind.

What was the secret of this octagonal tower?
