Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Hearing the sound, Rong Tang let go of his hand, and Zhao Qi took the opportunity to save his mouth, "No, no, the Prime Minister came at the right time! The Prime Minister is here to save me, I'm about to be crushed to death..."

Xiao Shiqing walked to the table, lifted the hem of his official uniform and sat down, with a leisurely demeanor.He poured himself a cup of tea, and said unhurriedly: "I don't understand what the emperor means. The emperor is now on the bed with the beauty, what do I need to save?"

Zhao Qi wanted to cry, "You're blind! Didn't you see that Rong Tang restrained me and wouldn't let me move? What kind of a fool is this!"

Xiao Shiqing glanced at Zhao Qi, then his eyes fell on Rong Tang again, looking like he was watching the excitement, "I didn't see it."

Rong Tang met Xiao Shiqing's gaze, frowned, and still pressed Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi gave up asking Xiao Shiqing for help, and shouted: "Come here!"

The guards guarding outside filed in, holding the handle of the knife, "Your Majesty?"

"Take Mr. Rong off me!"

"Yes!" The guards in front wanted to step forward, but Xiao Shiqing glanced at them vaguely from the corner of his eye, and the guards suddenly stopped, and stood obediently behind Xiao Shiqing, not daring to move any more.

Zhao Qi: "..." He is really a coward as an emperor. On the surface, the people in the palace are respectful and obedient to him, but in their hearts, the words of the prime minister are the imperial decree.

Xiao Shiqing took a sip of tea and said: "As far as I know, Rongtang has not recovered from a serious illness and has been bedridden for a long time. This is a good time for the emperor to love the beauty. I also ask the emperor to allow me to stay here to observe, so that I can practice Get the true biography of the emperor."

Zhao Qi blushed from holding back, "Xiao Shiqing, stop making trouble..."

Xiao Shiqing put down the cup, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "You can't push away a sick person, what a waste you are? Get out of bed!"

Being stimulated by him, Zhao Xi was so excited that he pushed Rong Tang with all his strength.Rong Tang spent so long with him, and was ill, already exhausted, caught off guard by him, fell to one side, coughing violently, coughing so that Yu Rong's face was slightly red from the smoke.

Zhao Qi jumped off the bed in a panic, one of them lost his footing, and threw himself straight at Xiao Shiqing who was sitting beside him, from one embrace with the fragrance of medicine to the other with the fragrance of ink, the scene was once very embarrassing.He raised his head to meet Xiao Shiqing's icy eyes, and said without thinking: "The prime minister was reviewing the playbook before he came."

Xiao Shiqing also looked at him, "No."

"Hey?"

"The emperor took away all the lampshades from the Hall of Qinzheng, how do you see the memorial?"

Zhao Qi: "..."

Xiao Shiqing looked down at Zhao Qi's hand on her shoulder, and asked, "Is the emperor enough?"

Zhao Qi quickly removed his paw, "Enough."

Xiao Shiqing patted his official uniform, as if there was something dirty on it, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will soon make a list of candidates for the Empress, and before that, please invite the Emperor..." He glanced at the clothes The disheveled Rong Tang said, "Restrain one or two."

"I'm not, I'm not, it's Rongtang..." Zhao Xi paused, swallowing the rest of his words.In front of the guards, he really didn't have the face to tell Xiao Shiqing that he would be suppressed instead of pretending to be molested.

Rong Tang managed to stop coughing, his eyes were as calm as water, without ripples, as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him, and he was completely different from when he was pressing down on the emperor just now.Zhao Qi looked at him, extremely distressed, not knowing what to do with him.

"Forget it," Zhao Qi said, "You take medicine and rest first, I'm leaving first."

Rong Tang didn't say anything, Xiao Shiqing said: "Your Majesty, go slowly."

"The prime minister is not leaving?"

Xiao Shiqing said: "Your Majesty thinks that the minister came to Zuizui Study to save the Emperor?"

Zhao Qi was a little confused, "Then what?"

Rong Tang said lightly: "Master Xiao means that he came to look for me."

Zhao Qi looked at Xiao Shiqing, then at Rong Tang, and sounded the alarm in his heart.In the original work of "Da Jing Wu Boundless", Xiao Shiqing and Rong Tang also had several separate conversations, and the content of the conversations revolved around one person—Huai Wang Zhao Tong.

Rong Tang devoted all his heart to Zhao Tong, he knew that Xiao Shiqing was the biggest obstacle for Zhao Tong to become emperor, he hinted several times that he would abandon the dark for the light, give up the dog emperor, and give Zhao Tong a helping hand.Due to the kindness of Empress Dowager Wen, Xiao Shiqing made false claims with him until Empress Dowager Wen passed away.

Now that Xiao Shiqing actually took the initiative to look for Rong Tang, could it be that he already has the intention of betraying?He hasn't done anything to die recently, is it really because he took away the lampshade from Qinzheng Hall, and Xiao Shiqing has a grudge against him, that's why he decided to betray their mother and son?

...I can't.

Xiao Shiqing saw Zhao Qi staying where he was, and asked, "The emperor is still leaving?"

Zhao Qi hesitated for a while and said, "Let's go now."

As soon as Zhao Qi walked out of the drunk study, he stopped and looked back inside.

Jiang Dehai said: "Your Majesty?"

Zhao Qi said: "No, I have to go back and have a look, you don't have to follow, just wait here for me." He couldn't let Xiao Shiqing be snatched away by Zhao Tong so quickly.Empress Dowager Wen was right, the present Dajing cannot do without Xiao Shiqing, and if he wants to sit securely on the throne, he cannot do without Xiao Shiqing.

Zhao Qi walked back to Zui Study from the back door, and happened to have a window open, he hid behind, and could see Rong Tang and Xiao Shiqing sitting face to face.

The corners of Xiao Shiqing's mouth raised with a half-smile, "Should we say that Zhao Qi has deep affection for you, or that he is as stupid as a pig. He almost died on your bed last time, and today he can repeat the same mistakes. The truth is also a good insight. gone."

Rong Tang's face was pale, but his lips were redder than ordinary people, "If it's possible, Rong Tang would like to let the prime minister taste the emperor's 'deep love'."

Xiao Shiqing wrote lightly: "You tried to poison Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi never told the truth and the Queen Mother, if not, do you think you can still sit here alive and talk to the truth?"

Rong Tang didn't respond much, "Then how did the prime minister know?"

Xiao Shiqing chuckled, "What the truth wants to know, you can naturally know."

Rong Tang nodded, "That's right. Everyone in the palace doesn't know that the imperial chair that Prime Minister Xiao sat on when he went to court is Da Jing's real dragon chair."

Xiao Shiqing smiled slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said casually: "Young Master Rong said such words, because he was afraid that the truth would be too comfortable? It's a pity that this word could not reach the Queen Mother's ears. Even if it did, Ben Phase doesn't care."

Rong Tang's eyes darkened, "Xiao Shiqing, you are also a well-educated person, you know very well in your heart that as long as Zhao Qi sits on the throne for a day, Dajing will never have a peaceful day."

Zhao Xi's heart skipped a beat.Sure enough, as he thought, Rong Tang wanted to poach Zhao Tong's corner for him.

Xiao Shiqing lazily said: "Who sits on the throne has nothing to do with Truth, as long as he doesn't interfere with Truth's affairs, why should Truth be against him?"

"Zhao Qi only asks about the government, but what about Empress Dowager Wen? Empress Dowager Wen indulges Zhao Qi excessively and turns a blind eye to Zhao Qi's evil deeds. Even if Zhao Qi wants to fight the princes, Empress Dowager Wen will light the fire for him."

"Enough." Xiao Shiqing said coolly, "It's your business that you hate Zhao Qi, it has nothing to do with the truth."

Rong Tang sighed softly, "Ahem... It seems that Duke Huai misjudged the prime minister."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyes slightly, "Speaking of which, before Duke Huai went north, he came here specifically to find the truth, and asked the truth to take care of you in the palace for a while. This will win people's hearts, so it's no wonder you are so desperate for him. If Zhao Qi had him One or two, Mr. Rong may have fallen long ago."

Rong Tang said in a deep voice, "Oh, if there is such a day, please ask the prime minister to give me a glass of poisoned wine, so that I can die more thoroughly."

Xiao Shiqing was noncommittal, "For Duke Huai's sake, I will not pursue the matter of your intention to kill the king for the time being, let's not make an example."

"Do you care about Zhao Qi's life?"

"If he dies, the truth will cause a lot of trouble, and..." Xiao Shiqing narrowed his eyes, "Since he was almost poisoned last time, he seems to be different from before."

"So what." Rong Tang disagreed, "Zhao Qi, always Zhao Qi."

Zhao Qi listened to the corner, feeling a little heavy.On the way back to the dormitory, he encountered Zhongmei in the harem running around.The beauties were kept in the deep palace, and they almost didn't go out of the gate. When they ran suddenly, they were staggered and out of breath.Zhao Qi felt sorry for them and gave them another five laps.

In the evening, Zhao Qi went to Ci'an Palace to accompany Empress Dowager Wen for dinner.Empress Dowager Wen said: "Xi'er, the Prime Minister gave the Ai family a list today, and all of them are famous ladies with both talents and looks. The Ai family looks pretty good."

Zhao Qi: "Oh."

"Aijia is thinking of finding an excuse to enjoy the flowers in a few days and call these girls into the palace for you to see, so that you can choose the one you like."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"..." Empress Dowager Wen put down the chopsticks in her hand, and asked, "Xi'er, what's wrong with you? The Prime Minister has made you angry again?"

Zhao Qi said seriously: "Queen, do you really believe in Xiao Shiqing wholeheartedly?"

Empress Dowager Wen's complexion changed slightly, and she raised her hand to pull the broken hair from her forehead behind her ears, "Why did Xi'er suddenly ask this?"

"I... I just don't like seeing him," Zhao Qi found a reason that fits the personality of the dog emperor, "It's all because the queen mother is too protective of him, and he doesn't see me as an emperor at all."

Empress Dowager Wen said: "Shiqing was raised by his mother, and the Ai family knows him well."

"The queen mother thinks he is a good man?"

"No, he is not." Empress Dowager Wen said meaningfully, "Because he is not, the queen mother will use him. What's more, besides him, who else can the queen mother use?"

Zhao Qi was speechless.

Empress Dowager Wen continued: "The Xiao family is a centuries-old family in Beijing, and its history is even longer than that of Dajing. Duke Xiao has 20 troops in his hands, and his wife is a close friend of the mother and queen. If their son and mother are not used, what will they think? Xi'er, you have to know that the reason we orphans and widows have come to this point is not the will left by the late emperor, but the Xiao family."

"Mother..."

"Now that there is no one else here, the queen mother will tell you the truth. As long as the Xiao family is still on our side, your throne will be safe, otherwise..." Empress Dowager Wen smiled sadly, "Xi'er, since you ascended the throne From the beginning until now, the choice has always been in the hands of the Xiao family."

Empress Dowager Wen's truth made Zhao Xi feel even more heavy.Fortunately, Xiao Shiqing in the original book rebelled after the death of Empress Dowager Wen, so she didn't let her see her son's miserable end.

"I know," Zhao Qi said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I won't fight against the prime minister again."

Empress Dowager Wen stared at Zhao Qi for a long time, with a somewhat moved expression, "The empress only hopes that someone will protect you after the empress dies."

Coming out of Ci'an Palace, Zhao Qi made up his mind that Huai Wang Zhao Tong must not be able to poach a corner successfully.He thought for a while and ordered, "Lao Jiang, let the imperial dining room prepare some delicious snacks."

Jiang Dehai: "The emperor just finished his dinner, but he's hungry again?"

"No, I'm going to feed the prime minister."

Jiang Dehai: "???"

"Also, bring the lampshade I brought from Qinzheng Palace last time."

Inside the Palace of Qinzheng, Xiao Shiqing was discussing with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials about the transfer of officials, when he suddenly heard a message from the eunuch outside: "The emperor has arrived——"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was stunned, "Why did the emperor come to Qinzheng Hall?"

Xiao Shiqing casually tossed the playbook aside, and said calmly, "Go ahead."

Zhao Qi walked into the hall, "Prime Minister, I'm here to return the lamp..." Seeing a minister standing beside Xiao Shiqing, Zhao Qi changed his words decisively, "I'm here to see if you're working hard."

Xiao Shiqing chuckled, and saluted Zhao Qi together with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Excuse me," Zhao Qi said with a sullen face, "Did I bother you?"

"No, Master Shang Shu is leaving now."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials claimed that it was true, "The humble minister resigned."

After Shangshu left, Xiao Shiqing said: "Your Majesty, look at it as you like."

"Ah?" Zhao Qi was puzzled, "What are you looking at?"

"Isn't it to see if the minister has worked hard?"

Zhao Qi said in embarrassment: "That's... nonsense."

"Huh?" Xiao Shiqing looked at Zhao Qi, waiting for him to continue.

Under his scrutinizing gaze, Zhao Qi said awkwardly, "I'm here to return the lampshade."

Xiao Shiqing glanced at the lampshade in Jiang Dehai's hand, "Leave it alone."

"Also," Zhao Qi lowered his eyes, "I have some snacks here, eat some when you are hungry." After eating my snacks, I will be my prime minister in peace and order, and don't think about rebellion anymore. ,good.

Xiao Shiqing looked at him, and slowly laughed, "The emperor is still different from day to day, and those who don't know think that the emperor has changed inside."

Zhao Qi clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves slightly, "It was my mother who scolded me, so I..."

Xiao Shiqing understood, "So the emperor was forced."

Zhao Qi scratched his head, "The queen mother said that she and your mother are good sisters, so I should treat you as a brother."

Xiao Shiqing said with great interest: "Then is the emperor willing?"

Zhao Qi said with difficulty: "For the sake of my mother, I am willing to try."

Xiao Shiqing nodded, "Speaking of which, the subject is five years older than the emperor, if you call him a brother, what should the emperor call the subject?"

Zhao Qi thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Brother...brother?"

The author has something to say: Tangtang: I would rather die than be on the dragon bed of the dog emperor.
