The emperor is hard to chase

Walking on the path where the crowd gradually thinned out, Zhao Jinqing walked in front, while Gao Shun and Zang Feng whispered behind.

"I never thought His Majesty would have such gambling skills..." Gao Shun sighed.

Zang Feng smiled, "Before your majesty ascended the throne, he was the least favored among the princes. But he liked the most, so he had no choice but to find ways to make money. The monthly money in the palace is limited, so your majesty relied on his good listening skills My ears play around in various gambling houses..." At this point, Zang Feng sighed: "Your Majesty spent at least 1 taels of silver when saving me. Not to mention ordinary princes, they were the prince and King Ning at that time. This money is not something that can be taken out casually.”

Gao Shun's eyes widened, "Just relying on the casino?"

Before getting a definite answer, Zhao Jinqing interjected in a timely manner, "What are you two talking about?"

Gao Shun flattered him, and smiled apologetically: "Zang Feng said that His Majesty's gambling skills are the best in the world, and there are not many people in the world. This old slave also thinks so, I didn't expect His Majesty to know so many things..."

Zhao Jinqing blushed: "It's just a trivial skill."

"No, no, Your Majesty, this is a trivial skill, and everyone in the world should feel ashamed that day."

Zhao Jinqing smiled, but didn't answer.Under the pure moonlight, on the streets shaded by lanterns, his eyes showed a hint of pride.

"Eunuch Gao, you don't understand this. His Majesty once said that gambling skills are the foundation of one's life."

Hearing the two chatting together, Zhao Jinqing was in a good mood.He walked slowly on the way back, trying to delay the return time.

At this moment, his eyes are so clear and clean, like clear running water, and like the bright moon in the sky.There was a smile on Junya's face, no one would be able to say that he was not a beauty after seeing him.

What's more, with that gentle demeanor, he is already rare in the world.

——"Why, do you like the lantern that this king gave you?"

——"My lord, why do you treat Yuning like this!? Yuning, I don't have any money, but it's just auspicious, Lou, you little one!"

Along the bank of the moat, dense evergreen trees are planted on both sides, and bright red lanterns are hung every few trees.

Zhao Jinqing paced slowly, however, in the dark bushes, only a deep voice was heard, telling some love words.

Zang Feng obviously heard it too, he laughed and said, "Master, someone is flirting here. Eunuch Gao, why are you blushing!"

Zhao Jinqing hummed and followed the sound.

In the shadow not far away, a man in brocade clothes was hugging a young man in front of him. Under the bright lanterns, he showed a heroic face.

That face was so familiar, Zhao Jinqing felt his heart beating violently: he never expected that he could see this person in a quiet corner of the capital!

With a bang, the lantern in the boy's hand fell to the ground.Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jinqing saw the two hugging each other, and the young man said, "My lord, don't, don't, people will see it here."

The boy's face could not be seen clearly, that face was buried in the man's chest, and the postures of the two were extremely ambiguous.

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of!" The man smiled wildly, "It's just right when I saw it, and it's just right for everyone in the capital to know that you are my Rong Xiao's person!"

Zhao Jinqing stood far away not far away, looked through the bushes, and then saw two dim figures entangled together, and could occasionally hear a slightly hurried groan=_=groan.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

——"What if I say, I'm in love with Your Majesty?"

Zhao Jinqing laughed at himself, sure enough, Rong Xiao's love was just talk.

He clearly didn't believe it, but why was he tempted?

Since when did he actually have expectations for Rong Xiao?He should obviously pretend not to see it and try his best to escape, shouldn't he?

Why did he feel pain in his heart when he saw such a scene?Like a knife, it cut Zhao Jinqing's heart.

It turned out that when I said I didn't love her, I was the one who fell in love first...

"I hate you..." Over and over again, he heard that deep voice echoing in his ears, just like countless nights before.

For countless nights, Rong Xiao has made him understand: this love is destined to be just his wishful thinking.

"Master." Zang Feng walked to his side and said silently, "It's time to go."

Zhao Jinqing nodded and said in a low voice, "Go back to the palace."

He suddenly felt that it was time to leave.

"Zang Feng, you should go back."

Zhao Jinqing turned his head, and on his pale face was a pair of warm eyes like jade: "You from Southern Xinjiang, go do what you should do."

Gao Shun didn't notice the whispering between the two, Zang Feng nodded lightly.

His worried eyes fell on Zhao Jinqing's face. He had been following Rong Xiao for a whole month, even if he didn't realize it at first, but listening to those detailed love words and whispers, he should know who that person was.

This person made His Majesty make the final decision.

Zang Feng thought this way, since just now, Zhao Jinqing has not shown any smile, just walked casually, his eyes lost focus.

However, this absent-minded journey seems destined to happen.When there was still some distance away from the palace gate, a shining knife flashed across the night sky.Quickly throw it at Zhao Jinqing!

"His Majesty!"

Gao Shun was obviously frightened by the sudden knife, and hurried forward.

Zang Feng was also a little surprised, a dark shadow flashed in his eyes, but it was too late for him to make a move.

The flying knife was extremely accurate, and thanks to Zhao Jinqing's dodging, he only injured his arm.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Zhao Jinqing grabbed the man in brown clothes who was about to chase, and frowned, "I'm fine, don't chase me."

Gao Shun said: "No, Your Majesty, we cannot let that assassin escape!"

Zhao Jinqing shook his head, "I have the final say." With a trace of calm on his pale face, he said lightly: "It's not far from the palace gate, go back to the palace."

"..."

Zang Feng understood immediately, but looked around with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.How did the assassin get the news about this secret departure from the palace?And who are those people?Looking around, but there was no sound, the assassin seemed to have escaped.

Zhao Jinqing had no time to think. He was a pain-sensitive person since he was a child, and his arm was in intense pain like being scalded. As soon as he closed his eyes, he completely lost consciousness.
