C77 (1/2)

In the past, they had talked about everything, but now, what could they talk about? What was there to say? He had to be careful with every word he said as he was afraid that he would say something wrong that would arouse his suspicion.

She had only learned all of this after returning home. In the past, people would always change their ways. Even if he had fallen in love with her, it was impossible for them to be friends with each other.

She was clearly pretending to be confused. She clearly looked forward to it, and even loathed this moment, but she could only speak in circles. ”How about telling His Majesty about the interesting things that happened during the war.”

”I don't want to hear this.”

”Then what do you want to hear? If you don't want to say it, this subject doesn't know what to say to you. ”

Zhao Shiqian opened his mouth to say something, but just as he was about to speak, He Shibi came over and reported, ”Your majesty, someone has come from the Empress Palace, and said that the Empress is not feeling well, please come over to take a look.”

Zhao Shiqian was extremely agitated, ”If she's not feeling well, then go find the imperial physician. She's not feeling well every day, but the imperial physician won't do his best.

Over a month had passed since the empress had shared a room with him. During this period of time, the relationship between the emperor and empress had always been good, and the emperor seemed to be more patient towards the empress as well. Everyone loved the empress's love, and those who had underestimated the empress now carefully waited on them.

However, the Empress's position in the Emperor's heart was still not important enough for Zhou Leping.

He Shibi left the room and went to drive Zizi away. ”Your majesty can't leave right now, since Empress isn't feeling well, he should have sent someone to get the imperial physician. Go back first, when your majesty is free, I will remind your majesty to go take a look.”

Zhi Bai said anxiously, ”I'll have to trouble eunuch to go in and report again. Empress really wants to see the Emperor.”

”The Emperor has important matters to attend to, the Chief General is inside. The Emperor was discussing military matters with the Chief General, and had already scolded me earlier. If you go in now, do you want to see me lose my head?”

Zhi Bai muttered, ”Chief General …”

”That's enough, hurry back and serve the Empress. When the emperor is free, I will definitely remind the emperor.”

So it was Zhou Leping inside, no wonder the emperor didn't have the time to go over. Zhubai looked at the door deeply, and without saying anything further, he turned and left.

”Empress is sick, your majesty should hurry over to take a look. Your subject has already eaten his fill, there are still some official matters in the palace, so I'll take my leave first.”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shiqian suddenly asked her, ”Why do you think the Empress got sick at this very moment?”

It couldn't be because of her, could it?

”I merely found an excuse to call me over when I saw you enter the palace and eat with me.”

It really was because of her.

However, she didn't want to stay any longer anyway, so she just gave the empress a favor and said, ”What if Empress is really sick? Your Majesty should go over and take a look, this subject will take his leave now. ”

Zhao Shiqian gnashed his teeth and thought for a long time. Finally, he stood up and sighed, ”If you want to leave, we cannot keep you here, but Zi Xi, I promise you that you must remember my words today. I do not want to hear anything like that again.”

She immediately stood up and gave a respectful bow, ”This subject will definitely reflect upon himself when I return!”

Hearing the Emperor's words, he could forget about getting married. Even if he wanted to get married, he would have to ask for permission from the Emperor himself.

Zhou Leping thought about it while she was on her way back. With her current identity, the person she married couldn't be an ordinary person. If he had to match up to her status as a general, then he had to be at least a second or third rank official.

Zhou Family had already sent a daughter into the palace. If she were to marry someone, she would become the second Lin Family.

Right now, she and Lin Jing could still balance each other, but if one of them was too strong, it would not be good for the emperor.

However, this ridiculous selection was finally over. From then on, the prodigies no longer had to worry about going out. They were scared to death.
