Zhao Shiqian patted the small mountain of memorabilia on the table, ”We have been extremely anxious recently, and haven't had the time to look at it, is there any news about Yu Yu?”

She then told him the news about the recent border trials. When she said that, she immediately started talking nonstop, and although she could not see, it was not hard for Zhao Shiqian to imagine the serious and serious face she had under her mask.

”Zi Xi...” Zhao Shiqian interrupted her, ”Do you have nothing to say to us?”

She pretended that she didn't know anything. ”Didn't this subject keep on telling the emperor?”

”I'm not talking about military affairs.”

”Not this?” She pursed her lips in thought, thought for a moment, and shook her head. ”This subject is retarded, I don't know if the emperor is referring to …”

Zhao Shiqian bluntly said, ”We are talking about the night you were born.”

She was so desperate to change the topic that she kept on blabbering about how she did not want to mention what had happened that night, but in the end, it didn't matter as much as a single sentence from Zhao Shiqian. No matter how far the topic went, he could still pull it back with a single sentence.

Zhou Leping didn't know how to respond at first, so he clenched his fists, didn't know what to do.

”Do you blame me?”

”This subject doesn't have any, it's just …”

”Do you know why Zhen doesn't want you to marry?” He suddenly changed the subject.

Zhou Leping had a premonition, but he did not want to think about it, so he said, ”I don't know.”

”Because no man in this world is worthy of you.”

His gaze was burning as it stuck onto her, ”Of course there are also my own selfish thoughts. We have changed a lot in the past few years, but I have not forgotten about the things that happened in the past. I believe that you have not forgotten as well. I just can't let it go. ”

No matter when the Emperor spoke, he would always leave some leeway. He would never be too satisfied with his words. As long as his meaning was expressed, it was fine. He didn't care if his meaning was clear or not.

Anyone who could stay by the emperor's side was smart, and Zhou Leping understood him when he said it like that.

Zhou Leping was very glad that he still had his mask covering his face, so that his expression would not be leaked.

In fact, she often thought that if her father hadn't died and she hadn't joined the army, she might have already married Zhao Shiqian and become one of the many women in the harem.

But where did this world come from?

She understood Zhao Shiqian's meaning very clearly. She was very happy, pleased, but also sad at the same time.

Zhu Guanliang's words suddenly came to mind.

If it were your current face, would the Emperor still be able to kiss her without hesitation?

Although she did not want to admit it, she had to admit that Zhu Guanliang was right. She understood Zhao Shiqian, and naturally understood that if it was her current face, Zhao Shiqian would not be able to kiss her.

But all of these were not important now, Zhou Lean had entered the palace and became his benefactor, then she should no longer have any relationship with Zhao Shiqian other than that of a monarch.
