Wu Zhi was as thick-skinned as the city wall. He stood up from the team and saluted Zhao Ji with his hands raised: "I will do my best to die!"
After leaving the morning court, Wu Zhi, who had been walking alone, was surrounded by a group of people.
While Wu Zhi was chatting with this group of people, King Yun Zhao Kai stood not far away with a smile, waiting for Wu Zhi to approach.
"Shilang Wu, congratulations! Shilang Wu is already in an important position at a young age. If things go on like this, his future will be limitless, and I will have to rely on Shilang Wu in the future!"
"Oh! Your Majesty, these are serious words! I am a lowly official, but I am nothing more than a rootless duckweed above this court."
With King Yun present, there were even more people surrounding Wu Zhi.
In the distance, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing stood together.
Looking at the retreating figures of Wu Zhi and others, Gao Qiu gritted his teeth slightly and said bitterly: "What kind of trick did Wu Zhi play to fool the officials?"
Cai Jing coughed twice: "Captain Gao, watch your words."
Cai Jing was also unhappy, and then he realized that he had mentioned the emperor and quickly stopped talking.
However, the ferocious light in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"Grand Master, this Wu Zhi cannot stay for a long time. If this continues, there is no guarantee that he will threaten you, Grand Master!"
Cai Jing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Gao. Tomorrow is the deadline given by the government to Wu Zhi. Let's go see a good show. The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin have already sharpened their knives and are waiting for this fat sheep.
They're here to kill you."
Just as Wu Zhi followed Zhao Kai out of the gate, a pretty palace maid walked over.
"Shilang Wu, the Queen Mother invites you."
When Wu Zhi heard the name of the Queen Mother, his back suddenly felt like a cramp, and his body position froze.
He quickly turned around with a smile and said to the palace maid: "Sister, I wonder what the old man Taihe wants to do with calling me?"
"The Queen Mother's thoughts can actually be guessed by ordinary people? Stop being so nagging and come with me!"
Wu Zhi cursed in his mind.
Amid the envious looks of everyone around him, he followed the palace maid with a look of helplessness.
Looking at Wu Zhiyuan's back, King Yun Zhao Kai became even more determined to win over Wu Zhi.
There was an official nearby who whispered to Zhao Kai: "If His Highness wants to seize the throne of the crown prince, I am afraid he will have to pay attention to Wu Zhi."
Zhao Kai thought for a while and asked, "What can you do?"
"I have heard that Wu Zhi has always been a lecherous man. How about your Highness sending one or two beauties to his home?"
Zhao Kai shook his head: "It's not like I haven't thought of your method before."
"But the two lovely wives and concubines in Wu Zhi's family are already top-notch beauties. Even King Ding is coveting them. I don't have such peerless beauties to give away."
The official then smiled and said: "Your Highness, how about our most talented woman in the capital, Li Qingzhao?"
"I heard that the relationship between Wu Zhi and Li Qingzhao is not weak. If His Highness can bridge the gap between them and achieve good things for them, he will definitely be able to bring Wu Zhi to our side."
Mentioning Li Qingzhao, Zhao Kai couldn't help but think of that graceful figure.
He had also admired Li Qingzhao for a long time and had always wanted to find an opportunity to marry her into the palace.
Now, Zhao Kai felt a little reluctant to send such a beauty to Wu Zhi's bed.
The official comforted him in a low voice: "Your Highness, I don't want to let go of the child to trap the wolf. If Your Highness becomes the prince, Wu Zhi will be dispensable."
These last words made Zhao Kai's eyes shine: "Okay! In that case, I will take advantage of Wu Zhi first!"
