C116 Divergence of the Heart
Hearing the sound, Zhou Qu immediately turned around and left.
Prime Minister Wang was about to stop him when Wang Yanran's voice came, "Dad, forget it."
Prime Minister Wang turned his head to look at her, only to see a wry smile on Wang Yanran's face. He said, "Even if you leave his people here, you won't be able to keep his heart."
Hearing Wang Yanran's words, Prime Minister Wang's expression immediately changed. He then said, "You …"
Wang Yanran smiled and said, "We have walked the same path this entire time. Furthermore, she has been waiting for him for so many years. I always feel that she is worthy of his love."
Hearing that, Prime Minister Wang frowned and said, "Yanran …"
Wang Yanran turned her face to the side and said, "I want to rest now. All of you can leave."
Only after everyone had left did Wang Yanran open her eyes. She wanted to be alone and love herself so dearly.
When Zhou Qu arrived at Lee Wanning's tent, she was there eating something.
Hearing the sound, she raised her head and looked at Zhou Qu's body. Then, she slowly said, "You finally came."
"Sorry, I just met you on the road …"
"It's okay. I'll be fine as long as I come back alive." Lee Wanning said calmly.
Zhou Qu gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't mean it that way …"
"I don't want to know what you mean." Lee Wanning put down her chopsticks and said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. I need to rest."
"Aa Ning …"
"Get out!"
Lee Wanning couldn't hold it in any longer and finally said. She raised her head and her eyes were filled with anger.
Zhou Qu's footsteps slowly stopped just like that. Then, he turned around and left.
Lee Wanning lay on the bed, unable to hold back her tears. She bit her lips tightly, trying to control her voice.
At night, the last match that the Emperor had predicted would be held tonight.
As Xiao Xue was dressing herself, she explained to her. Her voice was filled with excitement, causing Lee Wanning to look at her and say, "Didn't you never come here before? "How do you know?"
Xiao Xue smiled embarrassedly, "I also heard it from those people, but I think what they said should be true."
Lee Wanning slowly stood up and said, "Isn't it getting late? Let's go over! "
Lee Wanning walked two steps before she suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Miss Wang still in the tent?"
Snowy said, "It should be. I heard she was severely injured, so the emperor granted her permission not to attend."
Lee Wanning then walked towards Wang Yanran's tent. Just as she entered, Jie Er stopped her and said, "Madam Li, what are you planning to do?"
"Look at Miss Wang." Lee Wanning said directly.
"Our young miss …"
Before Jie Er could finish her words, a voice came from inside. "Let her in."
Only then did Lee Wanning walk in. Wang Yanran's complexion had improved a lot, and when she saw her, she tried to get up from the bed. Lee Wanning said, "No need to get up, I just came to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine."
Lee Wanning felt much better as she looked at her vital energy and blood. She nodded and said, "Alright, that's good."
Wang Yanran looked at her and said, "Previously, I seemed to have done a lot of stupid things. I'm sorry."
Lee Wanning smiled and said, "I don't remember what you said, nor will I remember it."
With that, Lee Wanning slowly lowered her head and whispered a few sentences into Wang Yanran's ear. Wang Yanran's expression immediately changed.
Lee Wanning made a silencing gesture, and Wang Yanran nodded.
Only then did Lee Wanning stand up. When she walked past Jie Er, she said, "If you're a servant, then you should have the appearance of a servant. If there's a next time, I won't let you off."
Jie Er's eyes widened. Before she could reply, Lee Wanning had already walked past her.
By the time Lee Wanning arrived, a lot of people had already arrived. Zhou Qu was the first to arrive. Lee Wanning asked the people beside the Emperor. She knew that such a banquet didn't need a seating arrangement, so she chose a place to sit.
"Everyone wants the emperor to take a second look at himself for an occasion like this. This Madame Li is actually quite interesting."
Hearing the voice, Lee Wanning turned around and saw Ann Jin looking at her with a smile.
These three brothers were all the same type of brothers who hid daggers behind their smiles. Lee Wanning had experienced this before, and she had only seen this Ann Jin once at Zhou Qu's wedding.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, Ann Jin had already walked in front of her and said, "Why aren't you talking?"
Lee Wanning said, "I'm thinking how to answer Fifth Prince's question."
Ann Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Does Fifth Prince want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Then tell me the truth and lies once!"
Lee Wanning glanced at the people beside her and said, "If it's a lie, then it's because I like quietness and don't like liveliness. Lee Wanning glanced at the people beside them and said," If it's a lie, it's because I like quietness and don't like liveliness.
What Lee Wanning said made Ann Jin slightly squint. He was about to say something when he heard a voice calling him. He then looked at Lee Wanning and turned to leave.
Lee Wanning looked down at the table in front of her.
The emperor arrived very soon. Beside him was Ann Yu's Mother Consort and Consort Lan, as well as the empress. The other concubines were all seated at the side.
Lee Wanning was sitting far away from him, but her eyesight was not bad. With a glance, she could tell that Consort Hui was the woman she met today!
Actually, from her clothes at that time, she should have been someone of status. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to directly make him fall off the cliff to cover up her crimes.
Thinking of this, Lee Wanning immediately wanted to see who that man was. However, she was caught off guard and met another gaze.
Zhou Qu was frowning as he looked at himself.
Lee Wanning looked away.
She still didn't want to talk to him. Lee Wanning didn't think so before, but now, she felt that she and Zhou Qu looked at things from a different perspective and understood things differently.
He was more inclined towards Fifth Prince because, like many people said, Fifth Prince was kind to him. If it wasn't for Fifth Prince, he probably wouldn't have reached Zhou Qu today.
He was a loyal person, so even if he knew that he would lose without a doubt, he would still use his life to fight for what Ann Jin wanted.
But Lee Wanning couldn't. She couldn't let him jump down just like that, even though she clearly saw that he was at the edge of the 100,000 feet cliff.
What she wanted was to live on.
Even if he lost everything, even if he had to bear the brunt of everyone's insults, it didn't matter.
Now... It was when the two of them were at their most divergent.
Lee Wanning's brows creased when she thought of this.
At this moment, the emperor's voice traveled in. "For the three princes to each have their own spring and autumn for tonight's matches, I'm truly conflicted. So tonight, I want to set another test here and have the three princes compete with me!"
The Emperor had already spoken of this matter today, but no one knew what the test question was.
The emperor's eyes swept over the crowd. Then, he slowly said, "Someone, bring the item over!"
Very soon, someone brought up three tables with the four treasures of the study.
Just like what Lee Wanning said today, what the Emperor wanted to compete against tonight was Wen …
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, the three princes had already slowly walked to the front of the tables. Since the tables were separated from each other, it was impossible for them to pry any further.
The emperor looked at them, then looked at Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei began, "Tonight, the emperor asked the three princes to make a painting. The meaning of the painting was... Nation, the time of the competition was … An incense stick's worth of time. "
Hearing these words, many people in the crowd frowned. Although painting seemed simple, it was extremely difficult to embody the meaning behind it.
This was an army of three hundred thousand …
Who knew what the emperor was thinking in his heart? As a result, the emperor had already understood his intentions, and maybe in his heart, there was already a candidate for the Commander Seal. Who was the one who drew the correct answer, and it was still just a sentence from the emperor?
In that case, who would be the Emperor's candidate?
The three princes seemed to have already thought of what they wanted to say and started writing.
Lee Wanning stood where she was, watching the incense stick's worth of time pass by. The entire place was silent except for the soft sounds and the fragrance of the burning torches and the roasted prey.
As Lee Wanning was watching, she heard Eunuch Wei's voice, "Time's up!"
Hearing the sound, Lee Wanning raised her head and saw the three princes slowly put down their pens, starting from Fifth Prince.
What he drew was a magnificent sight. In a short period of time, many people started to applaud him for finishing such a work.
However, Lee Wanning's eyes were fixated on the other two people.
