Feng Jing said he would come to see her in the evening, but when Shen Dingzhu waited, he had not come yet.
Seeing that she was not sleeping, Mu Xia saw that she was waiting for Feng Jing, so she took the initiative to inquire about it and came back with a pale face: "Miss, don't wait any longer. I heard that the emperor was drinking and having fun with Miss Huang again. I'm afraid tonight He won’t come over.”
Shen Dingzhu put the modified sachet on the table. She rubbed her sore wrist: "Okay, you can go down. If nothing happens tonight, you don't need to wait on me. Let me have a good night's rest."
Mu Xia hesitated at first, but then thought about it and agreed to leave.
Shen Dingzhu didn't let her stay, naturally because he was afraid that she would find out about the fire and come to help. If Feng Jing couldn't come, she would still take action and burn off a layer of skin even if the regent didn't die.
However, Shen Dingzhu didn't sleep well for several days in a row. As soon as midnight passed, his eyelids became sleepy and clenched.
She leaned on the table, planning to take a nap. Even if the regent was coming, he would probably have to wait until Feng Jing and the others finished their banquet before he dared to come.
Shen Dingzhu fell asleep lying on the table. After an unknown amount of time, someone shook him gently.
"Wake up, don't sleep here."
It was Feng Jing's voice.
Shen Dingzhu opened a pair of moist and beautiful eyes in confusion: "Your Majesty? Why are you here? Aren't you drinking?"
Feng Jing had extinguished the candles in the room at some point. Shen Dingzhu could not see his expression, but only heard him snort coldly: "If I don't do this, how can I help you vent your anger? Stop asking questions and follow I’m leaving.”
He grabbed Shen Dingzhu's wrist, pulled her and left the house.
However, neither Feng Jing nor her walked far away. Instead, they hid in a side room opposite Shuixie Huawu. He pressed her shoulders and asked her to squat under the window with him.
The moonlight is as cool as water, shining on the eaves of the Huawu tiles on the water. The surroundings are silent and only the chirping of insects can be heard.
Shen Dingzhu's legs and feet were almost numb from squatting. At this moment, she saw a tiptoeing figure walking out of the hanging flower door. The man looked around, then walked towards the bridge. Then, she quietly pulled the flowers aside. He opened the door of the dock and got in.
"It's Huang Yunmeng." Shen Dingzhu was startled, then frowned.
What did she want to do when she entered her house sneakily like that?
Feng Jing made a shushing gesture, and the young man's eyebrows showed a surly smile: "Don't be anxious, take your time and watch the show."
I saw a secret guard suddenly fall from the eaves of Huawu, stuffed a short stick outside, and after doing all this, he quietly left without saying a word.
Shen Dingzhu saw that under the moonlight, the door was pulled hard twice from the inside. Huang Yunmeng must have wanted to do something, but found that Shen Dingzhu was not in the house, so he wanted to leave. Who could have imagined that the door was pulled hard from the outside? It's locked.
But soon, the sound of the door being pulled gradually became smaller. After a while, Shen Dingzhu saw the figure of the regent coming from the hanging flower door.
He looked around and walked to the door of Huawu. When he saw the wooden bolt inserted in the door, he seemed to shake his head and laugh.
When he comes today, he is sure to win Shen Dingzhu!
This is the wife of Emperor Jin, and she has served the young emperor. Such a woman must be very satisfied.
When Shen Dingzhu saw the regent eagerly opening the door, he quickly walked in.
The secret guard appeared again at this time, came down from the roof, and stuffed the wooden bolt into the handle of the door again.
This time, the regent and Huang Yunmeng were completely locked in the same room.
Shen Dingzhu turned his head to look at Feng Jing beside him, and saw a sneer on the young man's thin lips, and the cold moonlight lit up his brown-black phoenix eyes.
At this moment, Shen Dingzhu understood that he was venting his anger not only against the regent, but also against Huang Yunmeng.
Feng Jing felt her gaze and glanced sideways and said, "He is going to be ridiculous for a while. If you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while. I will take you to grab the ready-made ones later."
"Catch what?"
"Catch the adulterer." These two words came out of Feng Jing's mouth, and paired with his handsome, boyish face, it really made Shen Dingzhu a little uncomfortable.
She pursed her red lips and said, "Is this what the emperor said about venting his anger? Why does it seem like he is taking advantage of the regent?"
Huang Yunmeng fell into his hands and his innocence was ruined. But since the regent enjoyed it and was not threatened, Shen Dingzhu felt that it was not enough.
Feng Jing crossed his arms and tutted: "You are stupid, are you really stupid? The interest I have expressed in Huang Yunmeng these days is enough for him to drink a pot. I will go in and catch them two later. How do you want to torment Wei? That old guy from Mao’an is fine.”
As he spoke, he began to think to himself: "How about making him kneel down? Or crawl from the east to the west of this mansion like a bug? It's up to you."
"I want his life." Shen Dingzhu said calmly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly darkened.
Her legs and feet were sore just now, but now, she was sitting sideways on the ground. The moonlight bathed from above and shone on the beauty's gorgeous face, like flawless white jade, with a touch of coldness.
Feng Jing stared at her, his long eyebrows slowly frowning: "Not now."
He understood Shen Dingzhu's thoughts. If he did not want the regent to threaten his throne with the secret recipe of gunpowder, killing Wei Mao'an directly would be the easiest way.
but--
"I want to know who are the people who are in contact with him, so I can follow the clues and investigate them, and then eliminate all the followers he left in the court."
The Wei family tree has deep roots. Feng Jing has worked hard for so many years but has not uprooted it because he is not yet completely sure.
If the power of the regent cannot be completely dismantled and abolished, his throne will never be secure, and these people will inevitably come back.
This is why he was initially willing to agree to cooperate with Shen Dingzhu.
He needed to know what kind of force was behind the person who pretended to be a wealthy businessman to contact the regent.
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes flashed with tiny light, and she looked at Feng Jing quietly. The young man's expression no longer looked relaxed and leisurely, but instead added to the pressure of countless superiors.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally, Shen Dingzhu compromised.
"Then I will reluctantly wait a few more days, as a way of repaying you for protecting me these days."
Feng Jing sat next to her, leaning against the wall under the window. He raised his eyebrows, and his cold expression just now disappeared, and now he looked like an unruly young man again.
"Shen Dingzhu, I suddenly feel that you are not so boring and annoying."
"Really? The Emperor is not as naive as I thought."
"I'm childish?!" Feng Jing's uncontrollable tone suddenly rose, his brown and black phoenix eyes filled with anger, "When I quelled the thieves and accepted the sycophants, you would only hide in the arms of Emperor Jin and act coquettishly" , Am I naive? You are not much better!"
When Shen Dingzhu saw him retorting like a hair, the smile on her red lips couldn't help but deepen. The corners of her beautifully contoured eyes were slightly raised. Under the moonlight, she smiled like a swaggering and charming fox.
"I'm not talking about your character, but your age. Isn't the emperor not yet crowned?"
"It's just one month away. I'm no different from Jiguan now." Feng Jing was angry.
Shen Dingzhu chuckled: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is. I'm older than you, so I'll naturally let you go."
Feng Jing stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, but his handsome face was full of dissatisfaction and anger: "Don't laugh, you are only three or four years older than me!"
Shen Dingzhu pushed him twice, but did not dare to laugh too loudly and be discovered by others.
At this moment, Mu Xia's voice came from outside.
"Miss? Miss? It's strange, why is this door bolted from the outside?"
Shen Dingzhu and Feng Jing paused at the same time.
"No," Shen Dingzhu looked at him and whispered worriedly, "My maid is here. If she sees the regent's scandal first, I'm afraid she won't survive."
