"Half-day madness?!" Zhao suddenly froze, staring at Zhong Zhiheng with wide eyes, and suddenly. She quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and hurriedly smoothed the hair that fell on her forehead. She whispered, "Your Majesty, what are you saying? I really don't understand. I don't understand..."
In the autumn of the 32nd year of Jiasheng, there was a severe drought in the south, and many crops were about to die in the fields. Zhong Zhiheng was very worried, and specially sent Zhong Mingzheng with officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households to the south to control the drought, and also took this opportunity. Zhao asked Zhong Mingzheng to buy half-day epilepsy from Miaojiang. This poison, which is only produced in Miaojiang, is odorless and colorless. Once a person takes it, it will immediately attack. No matter how well-behaved and honest a person is on weekdays, he will appear crazy and unconscious. It's just that the effect of this medicine comes and goes quickly. Therefore, it is called half-day epilepsy, and once the effect of the medicine is over, the person will return to normal. So it is difficult to investigate. Zhao thought it was foolproof, but he didn't expect that two years later, Zhong Zhiheng would mention it so lightly.
"If you don't understand, then I will go ask Ming Zheng," Zhong Zhiheng said calmly, still looking at Zhao with a raised eyebrow, "Xin'er, do you think Ming Zheng can understand?"
"Your Majesty! This was done by me alone! It has nothing to do with Mingzheng! Please understand!" The next second, Zhao suddenly grabbed Zhong Zhiheng's hand. Her pale cheeks were full of tears, which dampened her delicate makeup and made her look very embarrassed. But she didn't care about anything else. With such an extremely embarrassed face, she begged Zhong Zhiheng with tears, "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment, which is why I had such a confused mind. This really has nothing to do with Mingzheng. It was all my fault! All the mistakes are my fault! If Your Majesty wants to punish me, please punish me alone! Don't involve innocent people!"
"Innocent person? Haha, is he really innocent?" Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, sighing silently, pausing, and then said, "What does it matter whether he is innocent or not? No matter what, he is my son. No matter what time it is, I will protect him." At this point, Zhong Zhiheng's eyes fell on Zhao's face again. He pinched Zhao's chin with one hand and took out a handkerchief with the other hand to gently wipe Zhao's tear-stained face. He said slowly, "Just like I will protect the little prince. Even though he was just born, he is my flesh and blood. Whoever dares to touch him will die."
"Long live the Lord..." Zhao twitched, feeling the hand pinching her chin. She didn't even dare to breathe, and just took small sips, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Although I am dissatisfied with the Zhao family, I still remember that the Zhao family has followed me closely and eliminated many annoying people and things for me. They are loyal to me, so I will not easily attack the Zhao family. As long as you are self-conscious and serve me as my lapdogs all your life, how can I bear to attack you?" Zhong Zhiheng said coldly, while suddenly shaking off his hand and watching Zhao's head hit the couch with a "gulp", and blood gushed out immediately. He did not change his expression, still with undisguised disgust and contempt, "It's just that, no matter how obedient a dog is, it is still a beast after all. If you are a little bit nice to it, it can't wait to show its teeth at you, and it can't wait to push you off the stage and take the position itself."
"Your Majesty! I dare not! I dare not have any ill will towards Your Majesty!" Zhao did not care that half of her head was covered with blood. She hurriedly crawled over and kowtowed like crazy. "Your Majesty, I have served you for many years. You are not only my husband but also my master. I am the most loyal to you. I have never thought of and would never dare to do anything against Your Majesty... Baring my teeth, please understand!"
