Zhao Jing's cry of alarm immediately caused Wei Shuge to panic. Wei Shuge raised her foot to kick at the door, but was stopped by Zhou Zhizhi.

Zhao YuanNan hurriedly pressed down on Wei Shuge's wrist. "Shuge, don't be impulsive. It's just daylight. Nothing will happen!"

Wei Shuge gritted her teeth as she glared at Zhou Zhiqian. In the end, she managed to hold back her temper and said, "If anything happens to the emperor, I won't let it go!"

"Don't worry, my master won't do anything to the emperor, but if you guys dare to act blindly without thinking, then maybe not!" With a cold expression, Zhou Zhizhi gripped the hilt of his sword, "Retreat immediately! Don't be rash, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zhao Yuannan hurriedly pulled Wei Shuge to the side. If Dongfang Wenming did something bad to the emperor, it wouldn't be at this time. Under the bright daylight, there were so many guards guarding outside the Imperial Study. The East did not know that Dongfang Wenming would not be stupid enough to openly seize the throne and kill his enemies.

Zhao Jing could hear the commotion outside, so she stayed in Dongfang Wenming's embrace and didn't dare to say another word. She let out a sigh of relief when all the sounds outside disappeared. If Wei Shuge and the others were to rush in and see her in the bosom of the East, it was unknown what they would think.

"Afraid?" Dongfang Wenming said.

Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "Father Zhong is always so shameless. He looks at others as if they were himself. Does he think that everyone has such thick skin?" Finished speaking, she looked away, and softly snorted as though she was pouting, "If someone had entered just now, those who don't know would think that the Regent really does treat you as a pervert! It's fine if Father Zhong has no shame, but if he doesn't even have face for me, then it's fine too! "

The next moment, Dongfang Wenming abruptly pinched her delicate lower jaw and raised it, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Does Your Majesty think it's shameful to let others see you together with Your Majesty?"

Zhao Jing was stupefied. He looked at his slightly angry face and naturally didn't dare to say anything. She blinked her bright eyes and a look of grievance appeared on her harmless face, as if she had been bullied to no end.

Dongfang Wenming let out a long breath, then let go of her hand and let her lower her head like a child who had made a mistake. He frowned slightly as he looked at her long eyelashes falling on her fair face. He gazed with a slightly despondent expression at her obedient appearance, at her curled up in his shadow, as if the thorny rabbit had become his sole possession.

For a moment, Dongfang Wenming's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. He didn't know what it was, and he had never truly felt it in all these years. He only felt that this feeling made him worry about his personal gains and losses. For someone like him, who was feeling his way up and down on the edge of a blade, this was not a good thing. Worrying about his personal gains and losses would only make him lose his cool judgment, leading to all his decisions being controlled by emotions.

"Does the Emperor not remember that this subject had warned the Emperor not to get too close to Cobb?" Dongfang Wenming sighed lightly, "It was Qi Yunshan who taught you how to call on Uncle Ke. He's no weaker than Qi Yunshan in terms of shrewdness. Right now, Qi Yunshan was out in the open, and with Uncle Ke summoning him to the capital, the two of them might be in cahoots with each other. "They are used to being cruel and merciless. If the emperor wants to have a showdown with a tiger, I'm afraid he's still a bit too inexperienced!"

Zhao Jing raised an eyebrow. "Father Zhong, are you worried about me?"

"The emperor is someone who helped the emperor hold onto the throne with one hand. In other words, the emperor's destiny is to be tied to this humble subject. We are the grasshoppers on a rope! Whether it's this humble subject's accident or the emperor's matter, no one should even think of staying out of it. Only this subject's heart is compatible with the emperor. The rest of us are only separated by the skin of the stomach! " His rough fingertips slowly brushed her delicate, beautiful face.

Zhao Jing was in a bit of pain. Every inch of this person's muscles and bones were as painful as iron. Every inch of skin on his palm was terrifyingly rough, but he liked to float on her body, especially her face! Every time he touched her cheek, she would feel as if she was carved into the edge of a blade. The feeling he gave her was like this, engraved little by little into her body, soaked into her bones and blood.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Zhao Jing nodded his head in honesty. He opened his hand, revealing his palm to his face. Her slightly cold fingertip carried the gentleness of a young girl as it brushed over the lines on his palm little by little. Finally, it slightly playfully rubbed the calluses on his palm. The palm of his hand was so rough, the hand that held the sword was full of calluses, and normally, life and death was at stake on the battlefield, so where would he have the time to take care of his hands? Although he was high and mighty, he was someone who had seen life and death through life and death. That was why the hardness and gentleness on his body was so different.

"This humble subject's hands, as long as it can kill, it is enough." "Smooth and delicate, not suitable for battle on the battlefield."

Zhao Jing was unable to refute his words. There was nothing wrong with his words! Her fingertips were still moving around the palm of his hand as she nonchalantly asked, "Father Zhong, did you come to the palace today just to say these words? I have long since remembered these words in my heart, and dare not forget them at all times; there is no need for Father Zhong to say anything more. "

"Didn't Uncle Ke tell you that after the top scholar was killed, a patrolling soldier found a black shadow near the Supreme Fu Mansion?" Dongfang Wenming slowly opened his mouth and abruptly pinched her hands, and then she took out her fingers and held them in her palm. The warm glue felt extremely comfortable.

Zhao Jing's brow suddenly tightened as he stared disbelievingly at Dongfang Wenming. "Are you serious?"

"The reason why Cobb summoned the Emperor to deceive him was because he was from the Supreme Fu Mansion. If anything happened to Qi Yunshan, it would be impossible for him to separate them from each other, so he tried his best not to involve himself in the matter. Otherwise, he would become the target of public criticism." Dongfang Xi's eyes turned slightly cold. "If this news gets out, people will definitely suspect that this case has something to do with the Qi family. Even if Ke Bo Ling had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it!"

Zhao Jing nodded. "Qi Yunshan is not in the capital. If there is any problem with the Qi family, then it can only be an external aid from Ke Bo." He has a master-disciple relationship with Qi Yunshan, and is the head of a hundred officials. Even if this has nothing to do with him, no one will believe him! "

Dongfang Wenming finally released her. "There's still one more question. The emperor didn't hit the nail on the head!"

"I don't understand. Can I ask for your advice, Father?" Zhao Jing looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"The Emperor has never thought about why the black-clothed man could have disappeared without a trace after he murdered someone. Why did he still go to the Qi family?" If you were a soldier of the Qi family, would you bring disaster upon your family? "

Zhao Jing froze on the spot. "No way!" Father Zhong's meaning was, this black-clothed man was deliberately pretending to be him? Is it because the Lache family is under water? "

"Does Your Majesty know what a symbiotic relationship is?" Dongfang Wenming asked.

Zhao Jing frowned. "I know a bit!"

"On the other side of the pass there is an extremely beautiful flower. Around this flower there must be a poisonous spider, and they are interdependent. Flowers can attract prey, let the spider have a hearty meal, and spiders can contain deadly poison can also stop those coveting the flowers of the hunter. " Dongfang smiled at her. "But if this poisonous spider no longer gets food, it will treat this flower as food. There were always two sides. One side became a Buddha, the other became a Devil! Does Your Majesty understand what this humble subject means? "

Zhao Jing pondered over and over again. "Father Zhong means that from an outsider's point of view, this assassin might be someone from Qi Yunshan or be related to Uncle Ke. This is the most intuitive way of thinking." However, anyone with a brain would understand that this was an impossible matter. They could have obviously killed people without making a sound, but why did they miss out in the end? Who were Qi Yunshan and Ke Boyu? Two foxes wearing human skin, always meticulous when doing things, it's impossible for them to be so careless. "

Dongfang Mingming nodded, his eyes glimmering with a bright light, as if he was saying, "This kid can be taught."

"But if it's just that, then wouldn't it be unnecessary if the culprit had to walk in front of the Qi Family? "On the contrary, this place does not seem like it has three hundred taels of silver." Zhao Jing fell into deep thought. "I feel that there must be some other meaning behind this!" She frowned at him like a obedient student, waiting for his answer. "Can't Father Zhong explain it all to me?"

"Come here!" Dongfang Wenming lowered his eyes.

Zhao Jing pursed his lips. Although he was somewhat hesitant, he still slowly walked into his arms. She could feel the warmth of his body as he bent over her, and even through her clothes she could feel the heat of his body. When he leaned into her ear and spoke, his warm breath was on her temples, causing her to subconsciously tense up!

After a long time, Dongfang Wenming straightened up. "Does the emperor understand?"

Zhao Jing nodded. "I understand!"

"That's good!" Dongfang Wenming let out a sigh of relief. "Your majesty, prepare yourself!"

Zhao Jing lowered his eyes. "This move of retreating in order to advance is truly unimaginable. Only when Father Zhong fights with him to the point where he's used to it, will he be able to see through it." If it was anyone else, they would have simply followed the directions given by Zhang Xuan and disappeared without a trace! "If that is the case, I am afraid that in the future, I will still be unaware of its true depths. This kind of shrewdness is truly too frightening!"

Dongfang Bu's eyes sank a little when he heard these words. When talking about the terror of others, wasn't that also talking about him? He had been in the battlefield for a long time. If he could not deduce the enmity between them, he would have died many times over on the battlefield. The so-called "General Chang Sheng" was just leaving a bit more of a worry than others!

Dongfang Wenming looked at her. The little girl's face was a bit pale. She must be scared. Even if she was intelligent, she probably wouldn't know what it meant to be shrewd and astute. Dongfang Wenming respectfully saluted and said, "Your majesty, don't worry. This subject will definitely protect Your Majesty!"

Zhao Jing nodded. "Father Zhong, are we really unable to avoid this?"

"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm only afraid of thieves missing!" The East did not answer clearly.

Zhao Jing pursed his lips. "Then …" So be it! "

"This humble subject obeys the decree!" Dongfang Wenming turned around and left.

When Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan came in, Zhao Jing was standing by the window with his hands behind his back. It was unknown what he was looking at. He was actually so engrossed in it. The two of them looked at each other as they walked behind Zhao Jing. In the end, it was Wei Shuge who spoke first. "Is His Majesty alright?" The Regent, he... Did he bully you? "

Zhao Jing recovered and let out a long breath. "He didn't bully me. On the contrary, he taught me a principle."

"What kind of logic is that?" Zhao Yuannan did not understand.

Zhao Jing narrowed her eyes, her tone filled with an unconcealable coldness. "If you use your eyes to look at others, all you see is yourself." It is only from the point of view of others that you will understand the crux of the problem. I always thought that Dongfang Wenming was a self-righteous person, but now, I understand that the truly self-righteous person … It's me, not him! "

Zhao Yuannan was shocked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Zhao Jing's expression was cold and fierce as he said word by word, "That person …" It's coming back! "
