Zhou Leping was startled, this was an excuse she made up anyway, to make her tell him jokes, wasn't that making things difficult for him?

”Your Majesty …” She looked embarrassed, as if telling a joke was taking her life.

There was no point in continuing to force the question. Zhao Shiqian flicked his sleeves and said that it was fine, but his expression was filled with unconcealable disappointment.

Seeing him at a loss, Zhou Leping also panicked in her heart. However, in her entire life, she had never heard of two jokes, so she had forgotten even if she had heard them. She didn't have that kind of ability either.

”You don't have to make things difficult for us, we were just casually asking, Lin Shan will also participate in the hunting tomorrow, and I intentionally allowed it, so you must give us some face tomorrow.”

Lin Shan was Lin Jing's son, he was one of the imperial guards. Originally, he was in charge of the security of the sentry outside the hunting grounds, but the Emperor had specially allowed him to participate in the scouting, it was probably just an excuse.

As for the real reason behind it, she guessed that it was to intimidate and kill the Lin Family. Since the Empress could not move for the time being, she could only make a move, Lin Shan.

Zhou Leping cupped his fists and said, ”This subject will not disappoint!”

”It's getting late. This Emperor has left. You should rest early.”

”This subject shall send it to the Emperor.”

Zhao Shiqian waved his hand, ”No need, I'm not a big girl, you can go back.”

She stopped and watched the emperor walk away before she turned around and left.

The second day's hunting grounds were bustling with noise and excitement. All of the young men were gathered together, and were ready to strike. They were all wearing all kinds of riding uniforms, and had longbows slung over their shoulders.

Zhou Leping was still trying to advise Qi Miao, but he didn't know if it was because he said something wrong, or because the more he explained, the more confused he became.

”It's just a doctor, who doesn't have their head burning with pain? Although Zhu Guanliang doesn't look bad on her face, Your Highness really likes women.”

Qi Miao had yet to recover from yesterday's shock, ”What kind of sickness do you need to take off your pants?”

”Mm …” Think about it, maybe you remembered wrong? Maybe the king hid the silver inside his pants, but in reality, he had to take out the money to give to Zhu Guanliang? ”

She didn't even believe in this excuse.

The more he described it, the darker it became!

”Chief General.”

Just as she was vexed over what kind of good excuse she should use, she was suddenly called by someone behind her. She turned her head to see that it was Lin Shan.

She had seen him a few times in the palace. He was a man with a high head, walking with his head in the air. She was surprised that he had come to talk to her of his own accord.

”Master Lin, I've heard a lot about you.”

Every time she saw him lift his head up, she felt that it was a long time since she had last seen him.

”I've always wanted to compete with the general, but I've never had the chance. Today, I've finally found a chance to compete with the general.”

”Today is an encirclement hunt, not a martial arts competition. What's so good about that?”

Ever since she came back, everyone who knew a little martial arts wanted to compete with her. It was as if once she was defeated, her military merits would be transferred to someone else.

Lin Shan did not think that Zhou Leping was that powerful. Although he was a dignified imperial guard, and had not been to the battlefield before, he was not any weaker than her. He did not like Zhou Leping's arrogant look and wanted to beat her in the hunting grounds.
