It was the first time that Zhou Leping visited the imperial court after his injury and met her in the main hall. Naturally, Lin Jing did not have a good impression of her, but at least it was alright.

She had originally wanted to ask Lin Shan how his leg was doing, but seeing how Lin Jing was looking at her with such hatred, she could not say more.

In the past few days, she was sick and the military newspapers that were placed around the border had all been handled by Qi Si. Last night, she had organized all the military newspapers that were delayed by her bar, so there was nothing urgent.

However, Qi Kingdom, which always had nothing to do with them, had been acting continuously recently. The two nations had always been in harmony with each other, and yet, they had moved during the selection process.

Zhao Shiqian was not worried about him, he felt that he did not need to care too much about it.

Today's court meeting had been going on for a long time, and she had just recovered from her long illness. The longer she stood there, the more uncomfortable she felt. The emperor frequently looked at her and saw that her face was pale. He raised his hand to stop the chattering crowd, ”Zhen is tired. Let's stop here for today, we'll discuss this another day.”

The officials had no choice but to give up and wait for the emperor to leave before gradually dispersing.

Zhao Deng set up a banquet at Tai Qing House to give Zhou Leping a bite on his shoulder. Zhou Leping happily agreed to attend the banquet, but before that, she had to go and thank the emperor first.

Zhao Shiqian had been waiting for her for a long time now, and seeing that she was thinner than a month ago, he could not help but sigh, ”You've suffered a lot this month.”

She patted his shoulder, ”This subject has already recovered. It's all thanks to the emperor's care. These past few days, he had someone send me tonics every day. Dr Zhu said that this subject is even healthier than before.”

”It's good that you're fine. I haven't been able to relax my mind for the past month.”

”I've let the emperor worry about me, I'm afraid.”

”Enough, don't be scared.” Zhao Shiqian stood up, flicking his sleeves, ”It's already noon, don't go. Stay here and eat with me.”

Zhou Leping hesitated for a moment, ”Your majesty's heart, this subject does not dare to disobey, it's just that … This subject has already accepted Prince Rui's invitation, it would really be hard to reject. ”

Zhao Shiqian squinted his eyes and didn't say anything for a while. Then he smiled and said, ”Ever since you came back, Seventh Brother's pace of walking with you has gotten closer and closer.”

”Your Highness cares for this official, this subject will be forever grateful.”

”Since we agreed to it before, let's go.” He waved his hand and generously let her go. ”In the future, if you have nothing better to do, come to the palace. Le An can't go out. As your elder sister, you can often come to the palace to see her.”

Zhou Leping did not ponder too deeply into the meaning behind his words.

Zhao Shiqian watched as she left in a daze, he was startled for a moment, then suddenly became restless. The tea that he had just brewed did not smell good anymore, he picked up the cup and put it down, then picked it up and put it down again, finally raising it down, an exquisite jade cup instantly breaking into pieces.

He Shibi quickly ordered some people to clean up, and gave him another handkerchief, ”Your majesty …”

”I'm fine.”

Zhao Deng's carriage was waiting for her at the entrance of the palace. When she came out, he waved at her from afar, ”Why are you taking so long?”

”To the emperor to express his gratitude. Your highness has been waiting for me here?”

”Of course not. The sun is about to scorch me to death. How about it?” Are you moved? ”

”This humble subject is so touched that I am about to cry.”

”Scram, don't disgust me. Let's go first, the Dr Zhu should be arriving soon.”

Zhou Leping frowned, ”Why is he also going?”
