My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"Calm down!"
The Queen Mother pulled her son to sit down and said softly, "The court already knows about this. When the officials who are investigating come down, I will make sure Zhao Cheng is buried alive with them, even if it means giving up all my wealth."
Wang Yuluan took a deep breath and said, "And Donghua too! She has to go down and keep my brother company!"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yuluan added, "And Cai'e! This whole thing started because of her."
"And that Zhao Wu!"
"And... in short, they should all be buried with them!"
"To be buried with him!!!"
...
late at night.
Right Prime Minister's Residence.
Zhao Cheng carried the kettle to the round table and gulped down the entire kettle of water.
"Didn't you drink any water today? You're so thirsty."
Yang Taozhi sat to the side, looking at him with doting eyes and a faint smile on her lips.
Anyone familiar with Yang Taozhi would be astonished to see this. Neither the guards nor the enemies outside had ever seen Yang Taozhi smile, let alone give such a doting and tender look.
Zhao Cheng put down the kettle, sat down, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's not that I didn't drink water, it's that I cried from morning till night all day, and I've used up all the tears I've shed in the past ten years. I need to drink more water!"
Yang Taozhi poked Zhao Cheng's forehead with her finger and said with a laugh, "Don't do such despicable things again!"
"Do you think I want this? My father is still in Xidu, and he might have already been detained. I need to make sure the whole city knows about it, so that when it gets to the imperial court, my father will be under less pressure."
Zhao Cheng grabbed Yang Taozhi's hand, revealing a mischievous look, and said, "Alright, sis, let's get down to business. What's the situation with my dad? Why did you come back first?"
