CHAPTER 301 - AREN'T I HERE TO ACCOMPANY YOU

During the latter half of the night, Noble Consort Qi crawled out of the emperor's sleeping quarters. He Shibi did not understand and carefully went in to ask. Seeing Zhao Shiqian's messy clothes, he was shocked and his expression turned blank.

Just like the Noble Consort Qi, she crawled and rolled to get someone to get an imperial physician.

The young eunuch looked at him steadily, his eyes flustered and fearful, but no one dared to make a move.

He Shibi grabbed onto one of them and kicked, What are you all doing? Hurry up and get the imperial physician! Hurry up and go!"

The eunuch's legs gave way as he knelt down. Your servant pays his respects to the emperor!

He Shibi was startled, only then did he turn around to find that the emperor was standing right behind him, still with that look of shock and loss. He hurriedly bowed and said, Your Majesty, why have you come out? It's cold outside. This servant will help you go back.

Zhao Shiqian raised his hand and rejected her request. He looked into the distance, towards the side hall where Zhou Leping was staying, which was separated by a wall.

He Shibi followed the emperor's gaze and looked over, and understood, How about... This servant is going to invite Miss Zhou over?

No need.

His feet were bare, and his bright yellow robe was tied to his waist with a belt. His collar was open to his chest, and with every step he took, the cold wind blew in more.

He Shibi hurried to keep up with him, while urging him on with his mouth, but Zhao Shiqian acted as if he could not hear anything.

Just as he was about to close the window and go back to sleep, he suddenly saw that someone had come to visit him. The sky was so cold that they wore an open one-piece shirt, and a group of eunuchs were running behind them.

Her head was starting to hurt. Why was Zhao Shiqian here at this time?

He Shibi led a group of eunuchs and entered the room. When Zhao Shiqian reached the door, he turned his head and stared at them before waving his hand, All of you, leave!

Your Majesty …

Did you not hear what I said? All of you, stand down!

He Shibi worriedly looked around, and could only bring his people and leave in the end. As he walked, he looked back three times, and couldn't figure out why Zhao Shiqian was looking for him at this time.

Forget about him, even Zhao Shiqian himself wasn't very clear on what was going on.

Even if he was scared out of his wits just now and wanted to come over to see her after waking up, it wasn't necessarily because he had to, but from the moment the child thought of the little matter between a man and a woman to the moment when he thought of her and Zhu Guanliang, his heart was filled with unwillingness. He felt that there was something he had to do, and it wasn't good.

Zhou Leping was separated from him by a door, one inside while the other outside.

Zhao Shiqian raised his hand to knock on the door, but he thought that there was no need for it. The palace was his, and the people in the palace were also his.

However, after pushing the door a few times and realizing that she couldn't open it, she realised that she had locked the door from the inside. Her attitude instantly turned impatient, and she knocked twice. Open the door!

Zhou Leping sat in front of the table. Although she did not know what he wanted to do, but from his attitude, he did not come to have a good talk with her. She sipped on her cold tea without saying a word.

It should be a cloudy, rainy day tomorrow. It was as if thousands of ants had crawled all over her body and gnawed at her bone marrow, initially, she could still endure the pain, but as Zhao Shiqian's kicks on the door became louder and louder, the pain she felt became stronger and stronger.

The last time Zhu Guanliang was by her side that time, it wasn't really hard to bear, but this time it seemed to be even more severe than last time. She propped herself up on the table and wanted to go back to sleep, but her legs wouldn't listen to her, so she couldn't even stand while trembling.

Zhou Leping clenched her teeth, she did not expect that the pain would be so intense, in just a cup of tea's time, it had already changed from the pain of being corroded by ants to being cut open. With difficulty, she took a step, she did not manage to stand steadily, and her legs went soft, and she fell to the ground.

The moment she fell to the ground, Zhao Shiqian entered the room.

He was startled at the door, seeing her like that, he became calm, You can even knock me down when you open the door, is this still the Zhou Leping that I know?

Zhou Leping did not have the time to care about what he said, and the pain made her unable to speak. Previously, this was the person she wanted to ask for help the most, but now, with him in front of her, all she felt was despair.

Zhao Shiqian lifted her chin and saw her frown and expression of pain, but she laughed: Did it hurt?

Then he picked her up and put her back on the bed.

Zhou Leping tried his best to hide his body inside the blanket, but he kept shivering. Zhao Shiqian grabbed her arm, his gaze sweeping over her face, Cold?

It should be cold, but didn't I come to accompany you?

Zhou Leping's face was pale, her lips were green and purple, as she reached out with trembling hands to push him away, Your Majesty … Please have some self-respect!

Zhao Shiqian's expression suddenly changed, Self-respect? It was as if he had heard a funny joke, Don't you like me? I remember that you liked being close to me. You are clearly a fake brat, but you are like a delicate daughter in front of me. Even though we have been separated for so long, but to me … I think it's still too early.

Zhou Leping's mind was buzzing, she did not have much time to think about it, the words that Zhao Shiqian just said sounded like they came from a mountain. She was the only one standing in her mind, only Zhu Guanliang could save her.

Zhao Shiqian talked for a long time, but when he saw that she did not seem to hear him, the pain on her face did not decrease at all. Finally, he realized that something was wrong, and lightly shook her, What's wrong?

Zhou Leping hugged himself tightly, his entire person looked like he was placed in an icehouse, as he knocked his teeth when he spoke. I'm a little … I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. If there's anything wrong, please enlighten me … Let's talk about it tomorrow. "

Zhao Shiqian held her hand, which was cold. He then reached into the blanket to touch her body, which was cold as well, and his face finally turned ugly, Are you sick? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"

He stopped thinking about it and quickly shouted, Where is he? Someone! Go get an imperial physician!

When the imperial physician arrived, Zhou Leping had already fainted from the pain. The imperial physician had explained that the damp cold qi in her body was too strong, and her injuries had not recovered for a long time.

He Shibi advised Zhao Shiqian again, Your Majesty, please have Palace Maid come over to watch. The night is already very late, you should go back and rest early.

Zhao Shiqian waved his hand, Go down.

Your Majesty …

Zhao Shiqian said with a sullen face, Do you need us to say it twice before you are willing to listen? All of you, scram!"

There was nothing He Shibi could do, he could only retreat, but he did not dare go too far, as he waited outside the door. From time to time, he turned his head to look, but he could not figure out what Zhao Shiqian was thinking.

CHAPTER 302 - YET YOU ARE THE MOST AFFECTIONATE PERSON HERE

For a moment, he wanted her to die, and for a moment, he was worried and worried. He personally served her and said that the divine will was unfathomable. It was indeed difficult to predict, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

Zhao Shiqian sat on the side of Zhou Leping's bed and watched her quietly. From time to time, he would stroke her hair or pinch her cheeks. If not, he would grab her hands and warm her hands.

In this world, there had never been a woman that he had spent so much effort to take care of. Zhou Leping was the first one, so from the looks of it, he should still have some lingering feelings for her.

He clearly understood in his heart that the relationship between Zhou Leping and the traitor was one, the relationship between the two of them was one and the same, so of course they couldn't be confused. After all, he still had some obsession with Zhou Leping, and perhaps after everything was over, only then would he truly be able to treat him ruthlessly.

But how could he let go of his obsession?

The Zhou Leping he was holding slowly moved his hand away from her body, reached into the quilt, and held her slender shoulder. Just as he was about to take the opportunity and descend, Zhou Leping suddenly called out in his dream, Zhu Guanliang.

He paused for a moment, then said, Save me.

He kept saying that he was the Zhao dwellers and that he was not a traitor. In the end, the person that she yelled out in her sickness turned out to be Zhu Guanliang.

Zhao Shiqian's expression suddenly changed. He turned his grip into a pinch and ruthlessly shook her shoulders, Get up!

It was not time for Zhou Leping to wake up yet, but he could not withstand the crazy shaking he did, and he finally opened his eyes slowly.

What entered his eyes was Zhao Shiqian's face, which looked like it was about to explode. He glared at her fiercely and gnashed his teeth, Whose name did you call out just now, repeat it again.

She looked confused. What did you say?

What did I say? Zhao Shiqian pulled her up from the bed, It should be me asking you, you just called out Zhu Guanliang's name, and even asked him to save you. Is he completely treating Qi Kingdom as his own home?

Zhou Leping was an unconscious cry in her dreams. She had indeed dreamt of Zhu Guanliang just now, but she didn't expect that she would blurt out his name. For a moment, she was somewhat alarmed and stumped, unable to speak.

Zhao Shiqian saw her silence and became even angrier, Why aren't you saying anything? You don't even care about explaining anymore, do you?

I haven't asked, why has the emperor come to my place in the middle of the night?

Zhao Shiqian didn't even have a breath of air left as he held his forehead and was about to lean back, Originally, we still had a sliver of hope in you, but now it seems that it was us who was wrong, even that sliver of hope shouldn't be placed on you.

Wasn't it already like this?

Didn't the emperor already give me no hope? When did the Emperor ever believe what I said? Don't even mention those of us who were not on the side, we have been friends for decades. Yet you always think that I wanted to harm you, and that my words were not as important as a sudden appearance of a State Advisor. Now you're saying that you have some hope for me, are you trying to make me feel guilty towards you?

Zhao Shiqian pointed at her, You...

Does the emperor want to say that I'm a traitor? Zhou Leping propped himself up from the bed, his expression was extremely serious, Then let me say this unscrupulous thing today. The Emperor trusted evil officials lightly, and even made a person who hasn't been to the battlefield, who doesn't know how to fight battles, become a hussar general. He even found a State Advisor, and this is just a small trick on the part of the Western Regions, where you, a dignified emperor, would actually believe this? And the Exorcism Sword, an ordinary sword, using living people as sacrifices to be invincible? Is this something an emperor can do?

Zhao Shiqian grabbed her by the neck, It's not your place to talk about me!

It's not my place to say that, but I can't just watch you pass out like that! The empress dowager was sent to Dragon Spring Temple by you, and Zhao Deng was also suspected by you. The rest of them, either because they were afraid of the power of the Minister of War and the Minister of War and did not dare to speak, or because they had no right to speak, because the current emperor of the palace is extremely angry because of your words. I know that your emperor wants face, but if you open your eyes and look, the country is almost gone, who else do you want to show your face to!

Zhao Shiqian's eyes were so red that it seemed as though he wanted to eat someone. His hidden thoughts of carefully concealing his shame were all ruined by Zhou Leping, as though he was being exposed to the world and was about to be beaten to pieces. Immediately, he flew into a rage and slapped Zhou Leping ruthlessly.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and indifferently licked her lips. Great fight, but even if the emperor were to kill me today, I still have to say, in the hundred years of history of the State Of Zhao, other than the emperor of construction, which one of them isn't a enlightened ruler? Yet it was destroyed by your hands! "

Others can't say that, but that's because they're afraid of death. But I'm not afraid, and I didn't plan to say that, but in the past few days, I've seen what the emperor has done. I can't hold back my words, so I have no choice but to not say it.

Zhao Shiqian increased his strength by a few points, Do you really think we won't dare to kill you?

Zhou Leping's face grew red, it was difficult to breathe, and her speech was also not smooth. Your Majesty, of course … He dared to kill … Kill me, didn't you already kill me … Killing intent?"

Are you not afraid of death? Have you never thought about Zhou Leqi and Zhou Lean? They've never experienced what you've experienced. You're not afraid, but what about them?

Zhou Lean was his Noble Consort. Even though the two couldn't be considered to be married, a day and a hundred days were fine. Zhou Leqi was a Minister of Rites, he had never done too much, but he had never done so before.

Now it was Zhou Lean's turn to stare at him with eyes that were about to crack, but the more she looked at him in this way, the more pleased Zhao Shiqian was in his heart, What? He finally remembered them? Don't be so reckless in the future. It's fine if you don't have any ties, but you're the one who values relationships the most."

When I was a general, I had considered my future fate. If I was lucky, I might return home with honor. If I was unlucky, I might even die on the battlefield.

Forget it. She closed her eyes. I can't take back what I said. Anyways, the Emperor said that if he doesn't, then we'll kill him and his family. After that, I'll apologize to my brothers and sisters and make them pay for the cattle in my next life.

Even though the emperor had the authority to kill, but even so, the emperor still had to have a suitable reason to kill, a sufficient reason to kill Zhou Leping, but Zhou Leqi was not in the wrong, it was normal, and Zhou Lean did not even have enough to commit a capital crime, so he could not find an excuse.

CHAPTER 303 - SHAMELESS LITTLE HOOF

In the end, he was powerless to release his grip. I'm not going to kill you now, but I'm asking you, you and Zhu Guanliang, you've lived together for so long, have you even covered the same bed with your blankets?

Zhou Leping took two deep breaths, and coughed twice. He felt that there was no longer a need to hide it anymore, We're all eating and living together, what do you think, your majesty?

Zhu Guanliang is not picky with his words, he can eat anything, should we say that he has good taste, or that his luck is good? I couldn't stand that face of yours. He was actually able to stay by your side for so long and even fixed your face. He really isn't an ordinary person.

When she mentioned Zhou Leping, her face seemed to have been pierced by something, but she quickly regained her composure.

Zhao Shiqian was unhappy in his heart, he was unhappy, but the others could not be happy either, hence he lifted Zhou Leping's chin and gently pinched it, The current you is more feminine than before, if Zhu Guanliang can taste it, I can also taste it, after all, the relationship between us is dozens of years more than the one between you and him.

Zhou Leping removed his hand with a cold expression, Do you still remember the scores of years of friendship between us?

Of course I remember it when I see your face. He kept one hand on her hand, the other on her face again, moving closer and closer until he was almost at the tip of her nose.

Zhou Leping twisted his body a few times, but actually did not break away from her. The last of our friendship as monarchs has ended, we no longer have any relationship left.

What a ruthless heart.

Let go!

Don't move, the relapse just now must have felt pretty bad, tsk tsk … Zhao Shiqian stroked the scar on her wrist, You are now a cripple. In the past, I might not be able to beat you, but now, if you still struggle randomly, the one that's getting hurt is you.

What is crippled is inner strength, and there are still martial skills. Although it is no different from being a cripple, dealing with the emperor isn't too strenuous. She used all her strength to break free from Zhao Shiqian's restraints and kicked him in the chest.

The strength of this kick was not too strong, Zhao Shiqian only leaned his body slightly backwards, and then grabbed onto her ankle, using all his strength to pull her down, Yes, you can still see her elegant demeanor, but it's all useless, just pretending.

Is that so? Her body turned, and her other foot kicked at his face. The situation changed drastically, and she was able to easily escape from Zhao Shiqian's grasp.

The emperor has never properly practiced his martial arts. Although I'm equivalent to a cripple, I'm still more than enough compared to the emperor.

Zhao Shiqian felt that it was embarrassing for her to be able to escape like this, so she angrily called He Shibi over and pointed at him, Take her … Tie her up for me!

He Shibi stayed outside for a long time listening to the wall. Sometimes he would hear Zhou Leping scolding the emperor inside, sometimes he wouldn't be able to hear anything, and sometimes he would hear the sounds of fighting again, and sometimes Zhao Shiqian just called him in to tie the people up. He did not do anything himself, so it could be seen that the emperor had lost.

However, He Shibi alone was not enough to handle Zhou Leping, so two more guards came in and tied up Zhou Leping's hands and feet.

Zhou Leping had only been sick once, and didn't have much strength to begin with. It was already the limit to dealing with Zhao Shiqian, so dealing with these guards once again would be extremely taxing.

Zhao Shiqian waved his hand again, and everyone left him alone to retreat.

Zhou Leping was like a fish tied to the chopping board.

Zhao Shiqian was satisfied, her heart was comfortable, she took the rope in her hand and pulled him into her embrace, then gently hugged him, I didn't even get one, why is Zhu Guanliang in front of me, since he is ahead of me, then I will have more than him.

Saying that, he turned his head and kissed her cheek.

Zhou Leping was uncomfortable inside, he nudged her with his shoulder and struggled like a loach, but this tiny resistance was insignificant in Zhao Shiqian's eyes. He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her lips.

Noble Consort Qi was still worried even after she scuttled out of the emperor's chambers. She went back to rest and decided to come back to see Zhao Shiqian again.

But when they reached the entrance of the palace, they were informed by a eunuch that Zhao Shiqian was at the side.

She was startled, and then turned and went to the entrance of the side hall, and coincidentally saw He Shibi. He Shibi, afraid that he would disturb the Emperor, so she quickly went to welcome him.

Noble Consort Qi's nose is not nose, face is not face, I haven't asked, why are you here? Is the Emperor also inside?

He Shibi laughed bitterly, You are pregnant, adding on to the fact that it is already late, please go back and rest.

Stop changing the topic. I'm asking you a question. Is the emperor in there?

This master had a dragon embryo in his stomach, so He Shibi could not afford to offend him, so he could only nod and reply, Yes.

Noble Consort Qi covered his stomach and sneered, What a traitor. A man who's about to die doesn't forget to seduce the emperor. I don't know what kind of method he used to actually hook the emperor away from my side. Shameless little b * tch!

He Shibi immediately raised his hand and made a silent gesture, "Aiyo, my Empress, you definitely can't say such things.

What is it? You don't know what to say?

No, the emperor is inside. If we disturb the emperor, then if the emperor blames the servant, then the servant won't be able to bear the responsibility. I'm afraid that the Empress will also be implicated.

The Noble Consort Qi's face was full of indifference. I have a dragon embryo in my stomach, would the emperor blame me for a Zhou Leping? What kind of joke is that? Go in now and report that I've cooked some soup for the emperor to see him."

He Shibi rubbed his hands together in difficulty, This...

Noble Consort Qi frowned, What? Don't dare to? If you dare not to do so, then I, your master, dare not to do so. Get out of my way, I will personally say so!"

He Shibi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Empress, your servant is begging you, please calm down. To be honest, just now the Emperor had this servant go in and tie up Zhou Leping. Now ….

He did not know how to continue, but he knew that the Noble Consort Qi would understand.

It was just that she did not expect that it was the emperor who took the initiative, so the other party sent people to tie her up instead. Noble Consort Qi's heart trembled, and was stunned on the spot, becoming more and more indignant, I don't care, if you don't go in and report, then I'll personally go, you can decide for yourself.

When the Noble Consort Qi wanted to force his way in, He Shibi didn't dare to stop him. Just like that, the whole way to the door, He Shibi blocked the door and hurriedly said, Your majesty, the Noble Consort Qi requests an audience!

Zhao Shiqian's hands stopped moving and he turned to look at the door, All of you, scram! I won't see anyone! Scram!"

CHAPTER 304 - WHY DID YOU SUDDENLY ASK

Noble Consort Qi looked hurt as she stood outside the door and said loudly, Your Majesty, chenqie is very worried about you. Please let chenqie go in to see you.

There was a slight pause before the emperor's voice rang out, I'm doing well. There's nothing to worry about. You can go back first, I'll come visit you tomorrow.

It seems like this plan will not work. Noble Consort Qi glared at He Shibi, and in that moment, a thought popped up in his mind. He clutched his stomach and slowly sat on the ground, wailing in pain.

He Shibi was a clever man, he immediately understood, and shouted: Men, men! Quickly go and get an imperial physician!

Just now, Zhou Leping had struggled for a long time without strength. At this moment, he was panting heavily as he looked at Yun Che, his heart fiercely relieved. Noble Consort Qi's stomach hurts, does the emperor not want to take a look? He's still the Emperor's child.

Zhao Shiqian was annoyed, he could not bear to let go of one side, the Noble Consort Qi outside shouted louder and louder, the hand holding her shoulder tightened little by little, until he was unable to release her. He threw her down, and walked out the door with large strides.

The door opened, and Zhao Shiqian walked out from the hall. Everyone's face was filled with fear, as if they wanted to peek inside, but none of them had the guts to, so they could only retract their gaze and obediently stand there.

There were tears in Noble Consort Qi's eyes as he looked pitifully at Zhao Shiqian, Your Majesty, save me …

Zhao Shiqian turned and looked at Noble Consort Qi unwillingly, bent down and picked him up, then left the room.

Zhou Leping heard the noise from outside and gradually stopped, thinking that the person was probably gone, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. With great difficulty, he used both hands to untie the rope, and seeing that his wrist was tied up, his heart was full of mixed feelings.

In the past, Zhao Shiqian was not like this, he was refined, humble, kind-hearted, and would definitely not do such a thing. Although the Noble Consort Qi had come here to cause a commotion, she was saved, but this could not continue, because the first time would be the second, so she could not allow the situation to continue on like this.

But very quickly, this matter spread, and Zhou Lean had been paying attention to the situation over here.

After Xiao Yu finished narrating, he looked at Zhou Lean's face and said, I heard that the Emperor called for someone to tie her up. It should be the emperor's one-sided wish.

Zhou Lean slowly put down the tea cup and sneered, Your Majesty's actions are not simple, this kind of beauty would get into trouble sooner or later. Although this is your emperor's one-sided wish, I can't stand it, she is still the main culprit.

Xiao Yu understood her meaning, but he was a little hesitant, Empress, Zhou Leping is your own sister, do you really want to do this?

I didn't want to. However, no one understands my sister better than me. If she's going to live like this, then it's better for her to die, I'm just helping her.

Before doing things, he had to find a proper excuse. Perhaps, when he thought about it in the future, he wouldn't feel so bad.

Only, Xiao Yu's heart was not as relaxed as she thought. Zhou Leping was Zhou Lean's blood related sister, and was so good to her, but the person he was concerned about right now was still his sister. She did not dare say it, but in her heart, she disagreed with Zhou Lean's actions.

Zhou Lean also saw her hesitation, so he beckoned for her to come over. He used his hand to rub her face, which was always painted red. Scared? "

No … No, I just feel that …

Do you think that I'm so ruthless that I won't even let my own sister go?

Xiao Yu knelt on the ground with a thump, This servant doesn't have any, this servant doesn't dare to think like that. This servant knows that Empress is forced to this extent because she has no other choice, life in the palace isn't easy, and … And you even have a biological sister who wants to woo you. It would at least make you uncomfortable.

Zhou Lean helped Xiao Yu up, It's good that you know this, I'm just afraid that no one will understand. In fact, how could I want my own sister to die? You said that I helped her get out of this predicament, so she won't hate me in the future, right?

Saying all this was just a lie but Xiao Yu was very afraid of her, so even if he knew that she was seeking comfort he could only nod his head and agree.

At noon, Zhou Lean went to see Zhou Leping. He held her hand and looked at her with teary eyes, I heard about what happened last night. How could he do that? Sister, are you hurt?"

Zhou Leping hid his hands inside his sleeves, shaking his head as he said, Didn't I tell you not to come see me whenever you have nothing to do? Why don't you listen?"

I was worried about you, but I only heard about you this morning. If I knew yesterday that you'd come yesterday, even if I had to sacrifice my life, I still wouldn't let the Emperor harm my sister!

Zhou Leping lovingly rubbed her head, Silly girl, my sister is fine.

Zhou Lean got up from Zhou Leping's embrace, and waved Xiao Yu over. Xiao Yu held a food box in his hand, and when the box opened, he took out a bowl of soup, I made this specially for my sister to recuperate her body. My sister seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and my heart ached whenever I thought about it.

My food is good, so you don't have to worry about it. Although she said that, she was still very happy. There were people who were concerned about her, as if their days were not that tough anymore.

She took the soup and smelled it first. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly stopped and frowned as she asked Zhou Lean, You made this soup yourself?

Zhou Lean's heart tensed up, That's right, what's the matter, sister?

Xiao Yu stood at the side and looked extremely unnatural, probably because he was nervous. His hands were also shaking, he looked at her, then put down the bowl, It's nothing, I smell that there are some medicinal ingredients inside, it doesn't seem to be your work.

I specifically asked the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Physician Courtyard for a prescription. The Imperial Physician said drinking it often can replenish his energy. My elder sister, before it gets cold, hurry up and drink it.

Zhou Leping said that he was not in a hurry, Just leave it for now, the Palace Maid has already brought me food at noon, I can't finish it right now. He then looked at Xiao Yu and said to her, Go out first, I want to have a few words with your master.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Lean, and Zhou Lean then looked at Zhou Leping. Both of their faces were a little stiff, My sister, Xiao Yu is my personal Palace Maid, if there's anything to say, you don't have to avoid her.

We sisters have not seen each other for so long. I have some things I want to say to you.

Zhou Lean was perturbed in his heart, but looking at Zhou Leping's expression, it didn't seem like there was anything special, so he let Xiao Yu go out first.

After Xiao Yu left, he asked her, On the way here, did you meet anyone?

Nope. Zhou Lean was confused, Why did my sister suddenly ask that?

Zhou Leping asked again, How does this Xiao Yu treat you?

CHAPTER 305 - THE WAY OF THE FOX

Zhou Leping continued to ask two questions in a row, causing Zhou Lean to be at a loss, then he laughed and said, Xiao Yu does things seriously everyday, so she treated me meticulously and meticulously. I really believe in her.

It is just too easy for you to trust others. I know that you are kind, but in this palace, you must not let your guard down. Especially the people around you, do you understand?

Zhou Leping suddenly pulled her and said a bunch of nonsense. Zhou Lean felt that it was funny, but it was funny and at the same time, he became vigilant. He stared at the bowl of soup and asked, My sister is … What did you find?

She put the bowl down after smelling it, and then let Xiao Yu talk to her for so long. It would not let her think too much about it, could it be that she discovered that there was a problem with the soup?

In Zhou Leping's eyes, her little sister was weak and easily bullied. There was a problem with the soup, and it was most likely caused by the Noble Consort Qi, which may have bribed Xiao Yu, but if she were to just say it out loud, it would be easy for Xiao Yu to scare her. After thinking about it, she decided to suppress it and shook her head, saying that it was nothing.

I just felt it. Wasn't I tricked by the people around me when I was down to this level, so I warned you to be more careful.

Zhou Lean heaved a sigh of relief, It's good that you're alright, my sister is overthinking it, Xiao Yu is one of us, she is different from the Zhu Guanliang from back then.

When she mentioned Zhu Guanliang, Zhou Leping's face immediately changed. It was not because he loathed or hated her, but rather it was due to his emotions, as if he could make people feel that the relationship between the two was extremely deep with just a glance.

I was wrong, my elder sister, don't take it to heart … Zhou Lean comforted her and pulled her hand to stand up, You must remember to drink the soup, it's not convenient for me to stay for too long either, so I'll be leaving first.

Zhou Leping saw her to the door, watched her walk off into the distance before returning to the hall. He picked up the bowl of soup, poured the soup into the corner of the wall, hesitated for a moment, then threw the bowl away as well.

Previously, in order to help Yun Qing cure his poison, she had pestered Zhu Guanliang to learn how to become a doctor. Although it was still not considered as starting point, she remembered a lot of the medicinal ingredients.

That bowl of soup had contained quite a few medicinal herbs. None of them were fatal, but she could smell two of them together. If she ate them together, it would be no different from poison.

Zhou Lean would not harm her, so the only thing that could be done was for the Palace Maid beside her to collude with others and change the formula.

The people in the palace who wanted to harm her so badly, other than Noble Consort Qi who rushed over last night, had not thought of anyone else.

Now, she only hoped that she would remind Zhou Lean of what he had said and that she wouldn't take it to heart when she returned.

The more Zhou Lean thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Could it be that Zhou Leping must have found out something when he said those things to her for no reason at all?

Impossible! She didn't know much about medicine, so it was unlikely that she would know that there was a problem just by smelling it. Could it really be that she was affected by it?

It didn't seem like it. If she did, why didn't she say so the first time she went?

She thought about it, but she still couldn't understand. She could only give up, whether she was right or wrong. She would know the answer tomorrow.

State Advisor had always been holding a grudge against Zhou Leping last time, and had always been thinking of how to take revenge on her. When he heard that Zhao Shiqian almost favored Zhou Leping last night, he became even more furious and did not let him touch her, but almost let Zhao Shiqian get her hands on him.

But he didn't dare to find Zhou Leping again. After thinking about it, he decided to make his move from the emperor's side.

Zhao Shiqian got someone to write a letter to Zhu Guanliang, to the effect that he had Zhou Leping in his hands. It was a pity that he could not compete with him in the last time, and it would be a pity if he agreed to meet him again after meeting him again. As long as he was willing to present the blueprint of the Mechanical Technique, he could bring Zhou Leping back to reunite with him.

Of course Zhu Guanliang did not receive this letter, by the time Zhao Shiqian had finished writing this letter, he and Yun Qing had already arrived at the capital.

There were a lot of people who had seen him before in the State Of Zhao, so he needed to disguise himself, change his appearance easily and reveal his identity. However, it wasn't that easy to sneak into the imperial city.

The best way to enter the Imperial City was to enter the Heavenly Star Pavilion, which was easy to achieve. However, all he needed was a young man around the age of eleven or twelve, so even if Zhu Guanliang could disguise himself as a young man, he had no way to hide his figure.

Yun Qing had actually entered the Imperial City before, the two of them sat on the second floor of the teahouse and gazed towards the direction of the Imperial City. Zhu Guanliang pondered on the way to enter the city, and said: The Imperial City is extremely heavily guarded, and only people from the State Advisor can freely enter and leave the city.

You know the Bone Shrinking Art?

Yun Qing shook his head.

Zhu Guanliang drank his tea, Then, don't waste your breath.

Yun Qing crossed his arms in silence. After being quiet for a while, he extended his hand out and pointed downwards, The etiquette of the State Advisor.

Behind him were two rows of white robed children. Everywhere they passed, the pedestrians would retreat to the sides with their heads lowered, unable to look at them with their eyes and their mouths lowered, almost comparable to the arrogance of an emperor.

Chu He sat cross-legged on the carriage, the white curtains on both sides fluttering in the wind. There were guards protecting him from the front and back, it was really impressive.

The last time he was provoked by Zhou Leping, he had nowhere to vent his anger on. Since he was looking for happiness in the capital, he was afraid of being discovered by others, so he walked far away, but the flames of anger could not be quelled. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became, because today, he planned to go back and settle his scores with Zhou Leping.

Zhu Guanliang looked down, and when the curtain was blown by the wind, Chu He's face was clearly reflected in his eyes.

It was precisely this thing that he used Zhou Leping's Sacrificial Sword that gave birth to a face that would make people believe in him, but sadly, his fate was destined to be that of a short-lived ghost.

Yun Qing stared at the two guards at the end of the hall.

Zhu Guanliang placed a silver ingot on the table and jumped out the window. Yun Qing followed closely behind, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them landed on the ground.

The ceremony lasted all the way to the Heavenly Star Pavilion entrance. The two rows of dozens of children entered the Heavenly Star Pavilion and the guards split up.

He was afraid that the two would be found out, so he escaped halfway through, then stared at the two eunuchs, knocked them out and changed into the clothes of eunuchs, afraid that the two of them would wake up and cause trouble. At night, Zhu Guanliang and Yun Qing tied up their people, found a dilapidated palace and threw them into the dried up well in the courtyard.

Unknowingly, he had walked to Zhao Shiqian's quarters. From afar, he could hear the sound of voices, he slowly approached, and heard a woman's voice, Who knows what the emperor is thinking, but this woman still managed to learn some fox like methods after escaping from the clutches of death!
