His eyes became increasingly dark and unclear. Zhou Beichen glanced at Deshun, who immediately trotted over and helped him up.
"Doctor Zhong, the Emperor will definitely protect you in such a big matter. However, when you were at the Prime Minister's Mansion, did you feel that there was anything different about it?"
Doctor Zhong scratched his head and told the truth.
"Nothing else, but I just think that Prime Minister Li, lying on the bed, looks filled with hatred, as if everyone has offended him. And the Prime Minister's eldest son also has a gloomy face. However, I think that white flour not only has the effect of relieving pain, but also can enhance people's spirits and make them excited. The Prime Minister wants this thing so urgently, maybe he really has some hidden secret."
Doctor Zhong told Zhou Beichen all his opinions. Now, seeing that their emperor was very gentle, Doctor Zhong was not so afraid anymore. After all, he really needed the emperor's protection.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Beichen raised his hand.
"Okay, you get up first."
At this moment, Doctor Zhong did not refuse anymore and quickly got up from the ground. His speed was amazing.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
The hand he stretched out to help the person froze there. Just a moment ago, he was planning to put on a show to win people's hearts, but well, that was impossible this time.
After coughing twice awkwardly, Zhou Beichen looked at him indifferently.
"I can protect you and keep your family alive."
Doctor Zhong cried with joy and almost kowtowed again. Zhou Beichen bent down and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Don't be too happy. I can protect your entire family, but you have to do something for me."
Doctor Zhong: “…”
This bucket of cold water really caught me off guard. However, taking money from others and helping them to eliminate disasters is also a principle when working for the emperor. However, if he can really exchange his own life and risk his own life for the safety of his entire family, he would accept it.
So, under Zhou Beichen's puzzled gaze, he knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what you want me to do, even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of fire, I will not refuse."
"Alright, then I'll have my shadow guards send you back. Take all your flour and do everything you can to stay by Prime Minister Li's side. From now on, no matter what Prime Minister Li does, you must find a way to inform me immediately."
Doctor Zhong: “…”
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets with fright. What kind of job was this for a dead person? The emperor wanted him to hang his head in his hand and play with it.
Besides, isn’t this the job of a spy? He is not a spy, he is a doctor, a doctor.
Doctor Zhong felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, but he didn't dare to say it. Then he heard Zhou Beichen's neutral voice again.
"But don't worry. I will send people to protect you in secret. I won't let you disappear without knowing anything. Also, I've already sent people to take care of your family."
Now, Doctor Zhong was immediately filled with gratitude and kowtowed to Zhou Beichen with all his heart. Finally, he was smuggled out of the palace.
Seeing that it was not too late, Zhou Beichen planned to read the memorials for a while before going to the Pepper Room.
Little did they know that at this moment, outside the door of Xuan Zheng Hall, two little people were standing there, conflicted with each other.
"Brother...Brother, why don't we go in for now? Nuannuan is scared. Why can't Daddy be a little soft-hearted even though he's such a big, strong man? He always wants to kill people."
Zhou Zeyun rolled her eyes at her. Seeing that her sister was cowering in the crack of the door and didn't want to move forward at all, she had no choice but to turn back and forcibly pull her sister out.
"Nuannuan, please don't waste time. Didn't the emperor ask us to reflect on our mistakes? Let's go to him and admit our mistakes first, that would be honest. If we let him come to us, wouldn't it be bad? Besides, you were obviously quicker than me on the street, so why are you scared now?"
Zhou Zhaonuan said embarrassedly as he backed away.
"The reason I dare to do it on the street is because there are so many people on the street. Even if Daddy hits me, I have to endure it. He can't hit me in public. Daddy told me before that beating children should be done secretly and not in public."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
A frown crossed his face, but he still kept pulling his sister forward.
"My dear Nuan Nuan, if you can escape on the first day, you can't escape on the fifteenth. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. Once we both go in..."
Zhou Zeyun blinked cunningly, leaned over next to Nuannuan's ear, and said something. Zhou Zhaonuan's originally resistant eyes immediately became bright. The little guy boosted morale, and the two walked towards the hall together.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chang'an and Prince Yan are here."
Deshun walked in cautiously. Ever since his private treasury was emptied by Zhou Beichen, he had been complaining in his heart, but he dared not speak out.
Because he follows his heart.
"Let them in."
Putting down the brush and thinking about what happened during the day, Zhou Beichen planned to have a good talk with the two little guys. It was so dangerous outside the palace, and now there was unrest everywhere. The whole capital city seemed to be in the process of a storm. He wanted them to think twice before doing anything in the future and be more calm in everything.
Just as Deshun retreated, the door opened. Zhou Beichen was startled to see two people running towards him.
“What are you doing???”
However, before Zhou Beichen could react, the two little balls had already rushed over like happily fluttering butterflies, one on the left and one on the right, each hugging his left and right thighs.
Zhou Beichen lowered his head and looked at the two little guys with a puzzled expression. He frowned and was about to scold them when he heard a shivering sound.
"Daddy, little white cabbage~ yellow in the field~ three or four years old, with mom, after dad came, you snatched me away, three times a day, even got beaten. Now I am also very young, young and ignorant, I did something wrong, I just hope dad, please be kind and let me go~ so that we can have a happy family."
“Wow wow wow…”
After Zhou Zhaonuan finished her performance with great enthusiasm, she even wiped away the two tears she had just cried with her sleeves.
Seeing his daughter looking up at him, her big round eyes were fixed on him pitifully, with a tear hanging in the corner of her eye, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
There was also a boy next to him who hugged his thighs tightly, without saying a word, but with a pout and red eyes, like a son who had suffered a great injustice. Zhou Beichen felt dizzy, his eyes were blurred, and his heart was pounding. He held his forehead helplessly, and kept sighing that he had given birth to two strange things.
Especially Nuannuan, she doesn't learn good things, but she has a lot of clever tricks, which makes him dazzled.
