Emperor Rules Family while I Rule the Country

The emperor suddenly felt a bit sad. He didn't know why, but he felt a bit regretful.

Seeing that, Qiu Rong's eyes became moist, "General's loyalty to the heaven and earth can be seen, the Emperor has seen it all."

Since when did the empress become the emperor's voice transmitter, and she even had to answer every single word of hers?

Everyone drank and ate. The relationship between the three of them could last three days and three nights on stage, but no matter how brave they were, they would not dare to say the words of the eighth emperor. In this situation, it was better for them not to interrupt.

The emperor pursed his lips and said, "Tomorrow, I'll send the imperial physician to General's Estate to treat the general."

Zhou Leping cupped his hands in gratitude, thanking the Emperor before the Empress. In the time it took for him to raise his eyes, the pity and sadness in the Empress's eyes disappeared, and was replaced with indifference and contempt.

She was still wearing the mask on her face, so she didn't have to ask the empress why her expression had changed so quickly.

People change, especially those who can hone their skills in the palace. It's not like they were young or insensible. A single glance would suffice if some relationships were to change.

Because she knew that Zhou Leping could drink, and since she was the host of the banquet and the celebratory one, Zhu Guanliang's advice was thrown to the back of her mind, she did not reject anyone who toasted her, but after three rounds, she found that there were five or six jugs of wine in front of her.

This wine didn't taste too good, and in just a few sentences, someone poked her in the face, asking all sorts of questions. The words they said were like knives, piercing into her heart.

She had already forgotten who was who. After drinking a glass of unknown wine, she stood up and said that she was going out to get some fresh air.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The chirping of insects and the chirping of birds sounded very familiar. Looking down from here, all one could see was the jade pavilion, a strange yet familiar scene.

She sighed as she looked out from the fence. The night was cold and she drank quite a lot of wine. When the wind blew, it actually made her wound ache.

Zhou Leping held onto his chest and gasped. Just as he was about to remove his mask to take a breath of air, someone from behind suddenly spoke out, "The wound's not fully healed yet?"

Hearing this, she turned around and immediately bowed with her hands cupped around her chest. "Your majesty."

"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so polite."

She took a step back and stood beside the Emperor. "Why has the Emperor come out?"

"This Emperor also came out to get some fresh air."

Zhou Leping unnaturally touched the mask on his face, "Then... "Then I'll go somewhere else."

"Do you resent me?"

The emperor suddenly said. Zhou Leping took a step forward and had no choice but to withdraw it.

"Your majesty is too serious. Why should this subject blame Your Majesty?"

"You didn't speak to me in such a manner in the past, but now that you've suddenly gotten used to speaking with such care and caution, I'm not used to it."

"In the past, I was young and ignorant, and did many offending things. Now that I am in the imperial court and you are the emperor, if you are still the same as before, even if I had a few heads, it would still be insufficient to chop them off."

Zhao Shiqian wore a jade thumb ring on his hand, rubbed it for a while, and then laughed and sighed, "That's right, it's been a long time, you and I are no longer who we were before, we have to change our identities no matter what."

Although Zhou Leping said that, his heart seemed to have been ripped open as blood poured out from it.

"On the same day." When you entered the palace to report your orders, when I saw you … I can't believe that's you, the former Zhou Leping is... " Zhao Shiqian did not finish his sentence, but halfway through, he let out a soft sigh, "We do not have any intentions of detesting you, we are only … For a moment, I was unable to accept your current appearance, this is really … "

Even the Emperor couldn't find a suitable description for her current appearance.

Zhou Leping pretended to be generous, "Your Majesty doesn't need to explain to this subject, this subject understands."

"The imperial physicians of the palace will definitely have a way to treat you. Don't worry too much, they'll definitely heal."

Actually, she didn't care as much about her appearance as the Emperor had imagined. On the contrary, she cared even more about the Emperor's appearance than she did.

Actually, she already had a premonition before returning to the capital. However, she no longer held too much hope like she did in the past. She only wanted him to not hate her. Now that she had achieved her goal, there was nothing left for her to ask for.

However, in front of him, she could not say a single word of what she was thinking in her heart. She could only clasp her hands together to express her gratitude. "This subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace."

Zhao Shiqian seemed to have something to say, but seeing her humble appearance, she did not seem to be in the mood to say it.

He Shibi, who was Zhao Shiqian's personal eunuch, took a step back. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Leping, then shook his head and sighed.

Since the emperor had already gone back, it was about time for her to go back as well. It was too impolite for the master to not be here for the feast that was prepared for her.

However, just as she turned to leave, she was suddenly hugged by someone from behind. She subconsciously made a move and grabbed onto the arm of the person behind her. With a shoulder throw, she pushed the person to the ground.

The man on the ground wailed, "It hurts, let go, it's me! It's me! Zhao Deng! "

"Zhao Deng?"

A eunuch appeared from the side and shouted, "Don't hit him, don't hit him. General is lenient, this is Prince Rui!"
