Whose cub am I pregnant with?

He Changzhou's face turned blue for a while, then he seemed to think about it, and said: "The emperor really loves the people like a son."

"I'm the emperor, I should."

"I am also a subject of the emperor, so," He Changzhou paused, "does the emperor love me?"

Zhao Qi said perfunctorily: "I love love love, I can't stop loving you."

"Hahahaha——" He Changzhou laughed for a long time before he recovered.Zhao Qi looked at him like a fool, wondering if he should find an imperial physician to show He Changzhou his mind.

He Changzhou laughed enough, his eyes brightened, "Well, I love the emperor too."

Zhao Xidao: "Even if you say that, I can't increase your salary or your official position—the prime minister is fine, you might as well go to him and tell him what you just said."

He Changzhou was angry and funny: "Your Majesty, you really—"

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Dehai's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"

Zhao Qi sat up with a swish, "No, come in and say."

Jiang Dehai walked in, Zhao Qi asked him: "How is Rongtang?"

Jiang Dehai said: "Go back to the emperor, the judge has already suppressed the medicinal properties of Young Master Rong." Before Zhao Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say again: "But because of the cold treatment, Young Master Rong developed cold symptoms, She has a high fever and is now in a coma."

Zhao Qi's heart sank, "I'm going to see him."

On the dragon bed, Rong Tang fell into a deep sleep, his chest heaved slightly, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, which made people feel very uneasy.According to the imperial physician, although Rong Tang's life was safe, his vitality was seriously injured, his bones were broken, and he probably had to stay in bed for a long time.

Zhao Qi sat on the side of the bed, feeling terribly sad and guilty.The Dog Emperor owed Rong Tang so much, he really didn't know what to pay back.

Zhao Xi touched Rongtang's forehead with the back of his hand, and said in surprise: "Hot hot hot hot—"

Jiang Dehai held a kerchief soaked in cold water in his hand, "Your Majesty..."

"Come on." Zhao Qi took the veil and gently placed it on Rong Tang's forehead.Rong Tang seemed to feel something, and frowned slightly.

Zhao Qi was worried, and couldn't help saying a classic line of a domineering emperor: "Rong Tang, what should I do with you..." He said a domineering sentence, "Why don't I ask you for a Buddha? Above, as evidenced by Houtu, I would like to exchange Zhao Qiao's single life for Rongtang's speedy recovery."

Jiang Dehai said: "Your Majesty, Young Master Rong doesn't seem to be able to wake up for a while, so the servant sent him back to the Drunken Study?"

"Everyone is so sick, why bother?" Zhao Xi said, "Go and bring the little maid who usually waits on Rong Tang, and let her take care of Rong Tang. I'll just continue to sleep in the side hall for the next few days."

"Your servant obeys the order. Your Majesty, the Fourth Young Master is still kneeling outside." Jiang Dehai reminded.

Zhao Xi didn't get angry when he thought of this pit brother, "Let him go back to the mansion and confine him, and then release him on the Longevity Day. Also, if I want to punish him for copying sentences, I will copy 'I am a two-legged beast, It’s not a four-legged beast that goes into heat all the time.” Five hundred times a day, ten days of copying.”

Jiang Dehai suppressed a smile, "Yes, this servant will talk to the fourth young master."

Zhao Qi hummed: "It's better that he didn't lie. If I find out that he forced Rongtang to take medicine, it won't be as simple as grounding and copying sentences."

Zhao Qi almost didn't sleep all night, and could only face up with dark circles under his eyes the next day.Also staying up late, he was sluggish, but He Changzhou was as energetic as ever, this is probably the difference between people.

When Zhao Qi wanted to yawn again, Xiao Shiqing glanced at him coldly. He suppressed the half-yawned yawn and smiled slightly at Xiao Shiqing.

After going to court, Zhao Qi couldn't rest. There were a lot of people waiting in line for him to summon—envoys from various countries, ministers who returned to Beijing to report on their duties, as well as the newly promoted No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua.

Zhao Qi thought that Dajing's official uniform was pretty good-looking, with a sense of uniform temptation.It's a pity that no matter how good-looking the official uniform is, it can't save the appearance of the newly promoted Tanhualang.

Xu Qiu knew that his position as Tanhua was not easy to come by, it was given to him by the emperor against all odds.When facing the saint, he kept staring at Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi knew that he was grateful to him, but he still felt hairy all over his body, so he could only go to see Xiao Shiqing to wash his eyes from time to time.

According to the rules, the newly-promoted top three must first take a job.The champion and the second place went to the Imperial Academy, while Xu Qiu went to Yushitai.Zhao Qi said a few words of encouragement, telling them to work hard and not to take it lightly just because they are idle jobs.

The number one scholar and the second place only said "yes", Xu Qiu said impassionedly: "Don't worry, your majesty, this minister will devote himself to his death and die, in order to repay your majesty's kindness of rebuilding."

Zhao Xi thought to himself that you should not do your best as a speaker, the busier you are, the more chaotic the court is, but he said with a smile on his face, "I am optimistic about you."

Xiao Shiqing put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "You all step back."

Hearing this, Xu Qiu's face darkened, and he seemed to want to say something, but he was pulled by the corner of his clothes by the second place at the side, and he said with restraint: "I will take my leave."

After leaving the Hall of Qinzheng, Xu Qiu held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back, "Brother Chang, why did you drag me just now?"

"If I don't hold you, what do you want to do?"

"I want to fulfill the responsibility of the censor, and play the role of the prime minister face to face!" Xu Qiu said angrily, "With the emperor here, what right does Prime Minister Xiao have to order us to step down? Also, the emperor didn't even drink tea, so he is fine. The Palace of Qinzheng is the same as in your own home, where is the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers?"

No. [-] shook his head, "You, scholarly anger! Don't blame me for not reminding you, even if you offend the emperor, you can't offend Prime Minister Xiao. Otherwise, let alone your black hat, you won't even be able to save your life!"

Xu Qiu was fearless: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I will only be loyal to the emperor in this life! No matter how powerful Xiao Xiang is, he is also the emperor's subject, I don't believe that I can't join him!"

At this moment, Zhao Qi, who had just gained a loyal fan, was being interrogated by Xiao Shiqing.

"I heard that Yonghua Palace was very lively last night?"

Xiao Shiqing had many eyeliners in the palace, and he couldn't hide anything from him.In front of him, Zhao Qi didn't even bother to struggle, "Just... let's have a little fun."

Xiao Shiqing laughed, "It's rare that Rong Tang took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, the emperor might be overjoyed."

"No, I'm exhausted."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

Zhao Qi realized that what he said was ambiguous, and hurriedly said: "I don't mean what the prime minister thinks!"

"What does that mean?"

Zhao Xi countered: "You still have the nerve to ask me! Since you know everything, why didn't you come to save me? The innocence I worked so hard to maintain for 19 years almost disappeared, do you know that!"

Xiao Shiqing was silent for a while, "I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and I only heard about it this morning. It seems that I can't leave the emperor alone in the palace in the future."

Zhao Qi had a bad feeling, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Shiqing half-truthfully said: "If I go back to the residence in the future, the emperor will go back with me."

Zhao Qi almost fell off the dragon chair, "Is Brother Prime Minister serious?"

Xiao Shiqing smiled, "The emperor thinks so."

"But it's not my fault! Why should the Prime Minister punish me!" Zhao Qi was suffocated, "I'm wronged, I'm too miserable, I'm going to use blood to write the word 'miserable' on the Prime Minister's leg... "

"Don't make noise," Xiao Shiqing said, "Come here."

Zhao Qi reluctantly walked up to Xiao Shiqing, "What?"

Xiao Shiqing looked at him, "What did Rongtang do to you last night?"

"I didn't do anything," Zhao Xi said, "I pushed him away."

Xiao Shiqing's eyes were heavy, "Is there really nothing? Don't lie to me."

Zhao Qi recalled the scene at that time and scratched his head: "Maybe I hugged her and then kissed her face?"

Xiao Shiqing: "...is this called 'did nothing'?"

"Hey, I'm not a little girl, it's just a kiss. Besides, Rong Tang lost his mind because of taking medicine, so I don't blame him..."

"How did you kiss?"

Zhao Qi was a little confused, "Huh? Just kissed on the face, how would you describe it..."

Xiao Shiqing said casually: "If you can't describe it, how about acting it out?"

Zhao Qi was stunned, "Well, how do you play this?"

Xiao Shiqing tapped the table with her fingertips, "Think for yourself."

Zhao Qi looked at Jiang Dehai blankly, Jiang Dehai was so frightened that he couldn't speak, "Emperor, Your Majesty, what do you think the servant is doing..."

Zhao Qi was chilled for a while, picked up a notebook, "If this is my face, then I would be Rong Tang." Zhao Qi babbled on the notebook, "That's how close I am."

Jiang Dehai: "The emperor's acting is great!"

Xiao Shiqing sneered, and asked again: "How long are you going to hide in the golden house?"

"Huh?" Zhao Qi came to his senses, "Rong Tang is still in a coma, let's talk about it when he wakes up."

Xiao Shiqing nodded, "Since the emperor's dragon bed has been occupied, let's move to Haiyan Palace from today on."

Zhao Qi:? ? ?

Xiao Shiqing often stays in the palace, where he lives in the Haiyan Palace.Haiyan Hall is very close to the Taihua Hall of the previous dynasty and the Qinzheng Hall where the government is discussed, and far away from the harem. It is most suitable for a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people.

Therefore, Zhao Qi readily agreed to Xiao Shiqing's proposal - no wonder.

"No, no, I live very comfortably in the side hall of Yonghua Palace, so I won't bother Brother Prime Minister!"

Xiao Shiqing said: "With what happened last night, do you think I will let you go?"

Zhao Xi was about to cry, "I am willing to be under the care of the prime minister, but live together..."

Xiao Shiqing's gaze was like a knife: "The emperor is not willing?"

"I will recognize the bed."

"That's right, I think the emperor slept quite well when he was in the prime minister's residence."

Zhao Qi endured the humiliation and said in a low voice, "Then... okay."

Zhao Qi thinks that he can still have some majesty of an emperor in front of others, especially in front of Zhao Qiao, he is a proper ferocious beast.However, no matter how fierce he is, he still has to obediently put away his paws in front of Xiao Shiqing, and be a docile and lovely kitten.Normally, the two of them spent enough time together, if they still lived in the same palace, then he would have to suffocate to death.

It was night, Xiao Shiqing got away from a pile of notes and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

Jiang Dehai said: "The emperor has already fallen asleep, sleeping soundly."

Xiao Shiqing chuckled lightly, "Didn't you accept the bed?"

Jiang Dehai tried his best to help his master speak, "The emperor didn't sleep all night last night, and he has been busy for another day today, so he must be exhausted."

"He didn't ask for it," Xiao Shiqing said indifferently, "He thinks that Rong Tang can wake up if he guards it? You idiot."

Jiang Dehai was in a cold sweat.Prime Minister Xiao is the only person in the world who dares to blatantly call the king of a country a "fool". "I want to come to the emperor just to try my best."

Xiao Shiqing was noncommittal, "Go, go and see how soundly he slept."

As soon as Xiao Shiqing got up, he heard: "Prime Minister."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Xiao Shiqing knew that it was the secret guards from Tianji Camp, and said: "Come out."

Zhao Qi woke up inexplicably in the middle of the night, and was about to continue to sleep, when he suddenly saw a black shadow passing by outside the window - it really was the kind that flew by without touching the ground.Zhao Qi suddenly woke up, this time it was absolutely right, it must be an assassin!

Zhao Qigang was about to shout "there are assassins escorting him" and suddenly realized that the place he was in now was not the Yonghua Palace where he always lived.Surely the assassins who could sneak into the palace to assassinate him would not be so stupid that they didn't even know which palace he lived in, so these people came to assassinate Xiao Shiqing?It's not impossible, he and Xiao Shiqing are a foolish ruler and a treacherous minister, there must be many people who want to kill them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi resisted the urge to call for help, so as not to startle the snake.He got out of bed carefully, walked out of the dormitory in the dark, and saw that the study room was still lit, and the slender silhouette of the man fell on the window.

Zhao Qi's little heart was beating wildly, he pushed open the door, and said in a low voice, "Brother Prime Minister——"

Xiao Shiqing was listening to the secret guard report on every move of the feudal lords in Beijing, when he vaguely heard the little emperor's voice, he raised his hand to signal the secret guard to be quiet.

Zhao Qi walked a few steps in and was relieved to see Xiao Shiqing who was safe and sound, "It's good that brother is fine."

Xiao Shiqing frowned lightly, "What's wrong? His face is so ugly."

"There are assassins!"

Xiao Shiqing: "This is in the palace."

"Really!" Zhao Qi said seriously, "I saw it with my own eyes..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qi suddenly saw a man in black standing behind Xiao Shiqing—this is a standard assassin costume!

Zhao Qi's eyes were wide open, and he pointed at the man in black tremblingly, "Assassin, assassin—come, escort!" As he spoke, he ran away and tripped over the threshold.

The dark guard looked innocent: "Prime Minister, the emperor seems to have misunderstood something."

Xiao Shiqing: "...Stupid."

Zhao Qi ran halfway, then turned back abruptly, rushed to Xiao Shiqing, took the other's hand, "Are you stupid? Run!"

Xiao Shiqing was startled.The boy's hands were warm and soft, like the most precious thing in the world.
