Jing Mo held Yu Ziming in his arms all the way. After arriving at Deyi Winery, he glanced at the Zhao Mansion, which was only an alley away from Deyi Winery, and handed Yu Ziming to the guards.
A steward hurried to Jing Mo and whispered, "Master, the order has been given and it will be done today."
Jing Mo nodded slightly.
The manager retreated behind Jing Mo and followed.
After Jing Mo walked up the twenty-nine steps in front of the gate of Deyi Winery, he suddenly turned around, took Yu Ziming from the guard's arms, pointed at the Zhuri people following him, and said to Yu Ziming: "I have something to go out tonight. If you have anything, just tell them."
Yu Ziming nodded. His royal sister told him to listen to this person, so he obeyed.
Jing Mo carried Yu Ziming into Deyi Winery and said, "Sixth Prince, you are the master and they are the slaves, so you don't have to be afraid of these adults. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yu Ziming looked at the adults around Jing Mo.
When Jing Mo's guards and followers were seen by Yu Ziming, they all lowered their heads. Even though this was a hostage, as long as Jing Mo was willing to support this child, they had to treat this child as a distinguished guest.
"Don't understand?" Jing Mo asked.
"I understand," Yu Ziming said to Jing Mo, "Then when can you come back in the evening?"
Yu Ziming pulled Jing Mo's hand hard on his clothes. Jing Mo knew that the child was now dependent on him, which made Jing Mo feel very novel. He also had a little brother who was three and a half years old this year, but Jing Mo had only heard of this half-brother, not to mention holding him, he had never even seen him. "Don't worry," Jing Mo gently patted Yu Ziming on the back and said, "I promised your sister that I will take good care of you."
Yu Ziming looked at Jing Mo and smiled.
The smile on Jing Mo's face did not reach his eyes. If Zhao Yingshan was a smart person, then this woman would definitely abandon this son. But how could he let this smart woman's wish come true? Give birth to another son? Jing Mo held Yu Ziming and walked to his resting place. After this life without a child, Jing Mo wanted to see what Zhao Yingshan, this woman, would do.
After taking the medicine, Concubine Zhao rinsed her mouth with clean water. The palace maid who brought the medicine walked out with the empty medicine bowl.
The nanny used a wet towel to carefully clean Concubine Zhao's face. After all, she was no longer a young girl. After removing her makeup, fine lines could be seen on Concubine Zhao's face. The nanny knew Concubine Zhao's temper very well. When she looked at the fine lines on Concubine Zhao's face, her expression did not change at all.
Concubine Zhao felt a warm feeling in her abdomen, which was more comfortable than before after taking medicine, so she asked, "Did you change the prescription this time?"
The nanny asked, "Do you want to ask the imperial physician?"
There were many Zhao family spies in the Imperial Hospital, so Concubine Zhao was not worried about someone plotting against herbal medicine. She shook her head at Nanny Gong and said, "I don't feel unwell. My father should be arriving soon. Go and have a look."
The nanny quickly retreated.
Zhao Qiu Ming had already arrived at the gate of Chuqing Palace at this time. Because he kowtowed so hard in front of Emperor Xianzong, the gauze on Prime Minister Zhao's head, which was already wrapped due to the injury, was soaked with blood, and he looked in a disheveled state.
After the nanny met Zhao Qiu Ming in front of the palace gate, she didn't dare to say much. She bowed her head and asked Zhao Qiu Ming to go and see Concubine Zhao as soon as possible.
When Concubine Zhao saw her father's condition, she asked Zhao Qiu Ming with concern, "Is your father's injury serious?"
Zhao Qiu Ming shook his head, sat on the round stool next to Concubine Zhao's bed, and said, "Jing Mo and Yu Linglong have joined forces."
Concubine Zhao asked, "The Sixth Prince was brought out of the palace by Yu Linglong, right?"
Zhao Qiu Ming sighed, "I thought so too, but now that the Sixth Prince has been taken away by Jing Mo, it is almost impossible for us to find an opportunity to talk to the Sixth Prince alone, Madam."
Concubine Zhao said, "Father, we have no choice but to accept this plot, but you cannot be ordered by Jing Mozhi to harm Jing Qian."
Zhao Qiuming said, "What if he threatens the Sixth Prince's life?"
Concubine Zhao said coldly: "At this time, father is still thinking about the Sixth Prince?"
Zhao Qiu Ming said: "Your eldest brother is also in prison now."
"Your Majesty will definitely not treat me as well as before in the future," said Concubine Zhao.
Zhao Qiu Ming couldn't say what Yu Xiao Xiao told Emperor Xianzong about sleeping with the girl, so he just said to Concubine Zhao: "Yu Linglong told His Majesty that he wanted to treat everyone equally."
"She is truly a good daughter raised by the Queen," Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "With her elder sister's planning, His Highness the Seventh Prince will have a bright future."
"My lady," Zhao Qiu Ming said, "there must be a way to deal with it."
"How to deal with it?" Concubine Zhao said, "Didn't they say that Queen Jiang's two younger brothers will be coming to the capital soon? When they arrive, what arrangements do you think Yu Linglong will make?"
"What does the lady mean?"
"If the Seventh Prince goes to Wuzhou," Concubine Zhao looked at her father and said, "not only can he grow up safely, but he can also use all the troops of the Jiang family. In addition, the Gu family can also be added. Father, do you think Yu Linglong will do everything she can to get Yu Ziyi to Wuzhou?"
Zhao Qiu Ming sat on the round stool for a long time. Prime Minister Zhao felt that it was difficult to deal with Princess Yu Linglong.
Concubine Zhao waited for Zhao Qiuming for a while, and seeing that Zhao Qiuming still didn't speak, she whispered, "Father knows it in his heart, right?"
Zhao Qiuming said: "What do I know?"
"We can't prove our innocence to His Majesty," Princess Zhao said, "If you want His Majesty to change his mind, I can't keep you."
Zhao Qiu Ming stood up from the stool all of a sudden.
"If my eldest brother is attacked in prison," Princess Zhao said, "even if the murderer is the Japanese, His Majesty will feel guilty because your father angered the Japanese for the sake of the country."
Zhao Qiu Ming sat down again slowly.
Concubine Zhao said, "Father, let's make a decision now."
Zhao Qiuming spoke with some difficulty: "Sending someone to hurt your eldest brother?"
"Father, do you think the assassin sent by Zhuri will fail?" Concubine Zhao said coldly, "If my eldest brother is only injured, Yingnianyun and his gang will definitely say that we are using a self-torture tactic. The emperor is very angry with our Zhao family now, and there is no guarantee that he will not believe what Yingnianyun and his gang say."
"You," Zhao Qiu Ming said in a trembling voice, "Do you want Bei Cheng to die?"
"If you don't die, you'll be seriously injured," Princess Zhao said, "This is not only for me, but also for the Zhao family."
Zhao Qiu Ming was silent for a long time.
Princess Zhao did not urge her father to make a decision, but just lay on the bed and waited.
Finally, Zhao Qiu Ming sighed and said, "Will His Majesty the Seventh Prince definitely grow up?"
"Father, don't you understand?" Concubine Zhao said, "If His Majesty's favor is gone, what will our Zhao family do in the future? Let His Majesty calm down first, and then we can think about the Seventh Prince's matter."
"Your Highness, you can think of another way."
"I have served His Majesty for so many years, I know his temper well," Concubine Zhao whispered, "A single flower can blind him. If I don't see him for a few days, he won't have me in his heart anymore."
