Even if he knew that there was a problem with the medicine, he still had to eat what he had to. It was like in a palace where humans ate humans, what one did was the work of Ox-Head and Horse-Face. Which one was human? Which one was the ghost? People and ghosts have long since become indistinguishable …

The candles exploded, and Zhao Jing muddle-headedly listened to Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan talking about the Dongfang Family.

needed to know more about Dongfang Weiming, even if it wasn't everything. She could not fight an unprepared battle! She was only ten years old, and was one round weaker than Dongfang Weiming.

The Dongfang Family Clan was the creator of Da Xia Empire, and had been the marshal for many generations. It had been in charge of the army for a long time, and when it came to Previous Emperor, its power was already monstrous. Even the Previous Emperor did not dare to do anything to it!

Fortunately, Dongfang Weiming's father — — Dong Fang Wu Zheng was still considered respectful, and Yu Previous Emperor did his duty as Courtier. Even though there had been an unpleasant conflict, Dongfang Wuzheng hadn't rebelled. Instead, he had left behind a family motto: Dongfang Family, loyal to the Zhao Family for all eternity. All generations of officials!

Although he did not dare to say it out loud, what he meant was that the Dongfang Family could never be reversed!

Dongfang Weiming followed his father to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. After becoming famous at the age of sixteen, he had already accepted his father's position at the age of eighteen, and completely became the leader of the Dongfang Family. It was precisely because of the Dongfang Family that there was this grand picture of Da Xia in its present state!

At that time, the Previous Emperor would not be able to help him even if he wanted to take back the military power. In the hands of Dongfang Weiming, the power of the Dongfang Family Clan became uncontrollable. In the end, even the Previous Emperor could do nothing and died of anger on the bed.

Zhao Jing thought that it was a good thing that he had also thought of a compromise before Royal Father died. Since he was unable to take back the military power from Dongfang Weiming, then he might as well support them with enough power before he dies.

With this, there would be the honored tutor's faction, the Prime Minister Ke Bozhao and the others! They could balance each other and allow the bloodline of the Zhao Family to survive!

Zhao Jing had been sick for the past few days, but things were calm in the imperial court.

The weather was good today. Wei Shuge supported Zhao Jing out the door, always staying in the house because the air was heavy with illness. Zhao Jing was sitting on a fake rock outside of the Qianyuan Hall, basking in the sunlight, when he saw Zhao Yuannan rushing over to pay his respects, "Your majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience!"

Zhao Jing frowned, his brain immediately reacted: Ke Bozhao is seeking an audience, there must be something big! Everyone knew that she was a puppet emperor with no real power at all. If she didn't have to use her Imperial Jade Seal to go through the motions, who would come looking for her?

"Pass on!" Zhao Jing did not stand up. Instead, he ate the Sweet 'n' Sour Hawk that Wei Shuge gave him like a child.

"This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Ke Bozhao bowed.

Zhao Jing smiled brilliantly, and then handed over a sweet hawthorn to Ke Bozhao, "Do you want to eat it? The Regent had specially ordered someone to use this medicine on me, it's delicious! Prime Minister, do you want to try? "

Ke Bozhao respectfully received it with both hands, "Thank you, your majesty!" He didn't eat it, but held the sweet hawthorn in his hands with a troubled expression on his face.

"Why aren't you eating?" Zhao Jing tilted his head with a face full of confusion, "It's really delicious, we've eaten a lot!"

Ke Bozhao sighed, "Your majesty, actually, this humble subject came here today to discuss some matters, Your Majesty …"

Zhao Jing stood up, chewing the sweet hawthorn in his mouth, with a slightly fearful look on his face, he deliberately and carefully said in a low voice, "There's no need to discuss things related to the Regent with us." She held the plate of sweet hawthorn in Wei Shuge's hand.

Wei Shuge tactfully and wisely bowed and retreated, standing guard at the bottom of the fake mountain with Zhao Yuannan.

Eating the sweet hawthorn food, Zhao Jing was like a child who had not seen the world, but now, he was filled with fear, as if he was talking about the tiger.

Ke Bozhao's face changed, "Your majesty, please listen!"

Listen?

Listen to what?

Zhao Jing was startled!

Ke Bozhao's face was filled with pain, "Last night, Regent was assassinated!"

Zhao Jing's hand trembled, and the carrot in the plate fell onto the ground.

Dongfang Weiming?!
