C149 It Is Difficult to Predict People's Reencounter
Fresh blood slowly flowed out, but there was still no change on Zhou Qu's face.
No one had expected that such a joyous event could turn out to be like this.
The cause of this matter was a proposal the emperor made this morning to point out a marriage to Zhou Qu, but Zhou Qu was unwilling to do so. For some reason, the emperor was determined to assign the marriage to Zhou Qu, but Zhou Qu was determined not to do so.
Ann Tan put his hands on the table. He looked down at the people kneeling on the floor and his face was filled with anger.
He said, "Very good! Very good! All of you are trying to revolt, aren't you!? "
Zhou Qu didn't dare to say a word, but Ann Tan had already left with a flick of his sleeve.
He had just arrived in the chamber when he heard that the Empress Dowager had arrived.
The reason he had given her the title of empress dowager was because Ann Tan wanted to block the world's drawn-out mouth, he didn't want others to feel that he was a heartless and unloyal person.
When he heard that she had come, his expression didn't change at all. He said directly, "What is she doing here?"
No one answered.
Ann Tan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let her in!"
It was only after Ann Tan had said those words that someone invited the empress dowager in. When she saw the mess on the ground, the empress dowager's expression changed a little. Then she said, "What's going on that made the emperor so angry?"
Ann Tan glanced at her and said, "The empress dowager was overthinking things. It was just a small matter."
The empress dowager looked at the coldness in his eyes and chuckled. "The emperor really has a big heart. Now that Zhou Qu dares to do this to you, aren't you going to do something?"
Ann Tan's eyes slowly looked at the empress dowager in front of him.
He knew what she wanted to say.
However, he knew that Zhou Qu did not have any ambitions. The only person he was determined to deal with was just Lee Wanning.
Ann Tan also knew that Zhou Qu had been looking for Lee Wanning for the past few days. He had also sent people to look for her, but there was no news from them.
Ann Tan was only casually mentioning it today, but he didn't expect him to be so persistent. Furthermore, his attitude was very hard, which really annoyed Ann Tan.
That was why the situation had turned into this.
Hearing the empress dowager's words, Ann Tan's expression didn't change much. He said, "The empress dowager doesn't need to think about it too much. I'll take care of this matter. Besides, since ancient times, the imperial harem has been forbidden from doing anything."
Hearing Ann Tan's last sentence, the empress dowager's eyes immediately sunk. She continued, "And your majesty. There's one thing I think I should remind you of. Is your majesty worried about someone?"
When the empress dowager finished speaking, Ann Tan's eyes immediately turned around. He looked at the person in front of him, and the light in his eyes made the empress dowager's heart tremble.
Ann Tan said, "What does the empress dowager want to say?"
The empress dowager spoke up slowly. "Your majesty, the harem is always empty this way isn't a solution. If you have a woman you'd love to have …"
"This emperor will take care of this matter himself. There's no need for the empress dowager to worry!"
With that, Ann Tan turned to leave, which made the empress dowager say, "It's not good for the emperor to do this. How are you going to face the emperor if you let This Dowager live for a hundred years?"
Hearing the empress dowager's words, Ann Tan suddenly laughed and said, "Your mother can't face Royal Father's matters, is it considered little?"
Just as she was about to shout out a reprimand, Ann Tan had already walked up to her and said, "Zhen is warning you, Zhen can make you empress dowager, but at the same time, Zhen can also make you useless. So, you better shut your mouth!"
Her whole body was trembling.
She had never expected that the Emperor, who looked as warm as jade, would actually …
Just as the empress dowager was thinking of this, Ann Tan had already left. "Someone, escort the empress dowager back to the palace!"
Her Majesty could only brush her sleeves and leave.
Ann Tan was sitting on the dragon throne with his hands on top of it. He looked extremely tired.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone report from outside. "Your majesty, there's news!"
Ann Tan opened his eyes and the eunuch beside him came forward to welcome him.
When Ann Tan saw the person, he directly stood up from his seat.
He was the one who had been sent after Lee Wanning.
When Ann Tan saw him, he said without any hesitation, "How is it?"
"Fortunately, I didn't fail my mission. After two months of searching, we finally found someone who looked exactly like Miss Lee. Furthermore, Consort Dowager Hua from the palace was also with her!"
"What about her?" Ann Tan said without thinking.
The person's eyes glanced at the person beside him, and then he slowly said, "This subject has yet to reveal their identities, but this Consort Dowager Hua, is actually Wusun Nation's Princess Changle, and this Lee Wanning …"
"You just said that the two of them are together …"
"The Emperor is wise! This Lee Wanning is the Princess Liuli that Wusun had just announced to return to the dynasty. This is Princess Liuli's portrait. "
That person had passed the portrait in his hand over to Ann Tan after finishing his sentence. That way, Ann Tan would definitely recognize that it was none other than Lee Wanning!
Ann Tan's eyes looked at the image of him, both of his hands were practically trembling, and then, he said, "Prepare it for me now, I want to personally go to Wusun Country!"
"Your majesty, don't worry. It just so happens that next month will be the birthday banquet for the Emperor of Wusun. In the past, we have always sent envoys over, so it won't be strange if we wait until it's time for your majesty to arrive." The eunuch at the side said.
Ann Tan thought about it and slowly suppressed the joy on his face. After thinking for a while, he said, "You are not allowed to tell this to Zhou Qu. If there is a leak, I will definitely exterminate nine generations!"
"Your servant obeys the decree!"
At this moment, Zhou Qu was inside the General Mansion.
Soong Yun was now the butler of this place. Because the Yingjia had been peaceful for the past two months, there was no need for war, but the entire place was deathly still.
Soong Yun looked at Zhou Qu's expression, came forward and said, "General, how about I bring you to a place tonight?"
"Where?" Zhou Qu looked up.
Soong Yun smiled and said, "Of course it's a good place. I know the general is worried about the madam, but there is still no news after so long. No matter how anxious the general is, it's useless."
Zhou Qu's eyes looked at him and said, "And then? Where do you want me to go? "
"General, you don't need to be so excited. It's like this, I saw a person in the pavilion these two days. How about you guess who that person is?"
Zhou Qu didn't want to guess. When he wanted to ignore Soong Yun's words, Soong Yun said, "It's Miss Wang."
Hearing this sentence, Zhou Qu's footsteps suddenly stopped. Soong Yun had already finished speaking and said, "It's Wang Yanran, Miss Wang who was previously here on General Mansion."
Zhou Qu suddenly turned around, "Where do you think she is?"
At that time, Prime Minister Wang was directly escorted back into the Capital City by Ann Tan's men. He was originally locked in the prison, but the emperor had never said how to punish him.
Prime Minister Wang was already sick when he was in the prison. Not long after, he directly drove the crane west, and the servants had all dispersed. Wang Yanran arrived at such a place after a few rounds.
She had been raised in the palm of others' hands, but she had never imagined that one day, she would be left behind in a brothel.
Thinking of this, Wang Yanran laid her head on the table and cried. Her shoulders trembled continuously, but at that moment, she heard someone from outside say, "Yan'er, what are you doing inside?" Someone is looking for you. "
Wang Yanran wiped the tears off her face and said, "Alright."
In the beginning, Wang Yanran had also resisted, she was unwilling to accept the guests, but what she got in return was a series of beatings. In the beginning, Wang Yanran had also resisted, but in the end, she was also unwilling to receive the guests, but in exchange, she
Just as Wang Yanran was thinking this, she had already opened the door.
When she saw the person in front of her, her expression immediately changed. She looked at the person in front of her for a long time before immediately closing the door.
When the old procuress saw Zhou Qu enter, her face was full of smiles. When Zhou Qu said he wanted to find Wang Yanran, she brought him along without a word. However, she didn't expect Wang Yanran to have such a reaction.
The smile on her face stiffened for a moment before she immediately smiled apologetically, "General, please don't take offense to it. This little girl just arrived and doesn't understand the rules."
Actually, Zhou Qu didn't want to believe Soong Yun's words, but now that Wang Yanran was really in this room, even if he didn't want to believe, he had no other choice.
Although she and him didn't owe each other anything, they could still be considered husband and wife before this. She didn't expect Wang Yanran, who had been so arrogant back then, to actually …
Thinking this way, Zhou Qu said to the old procuress, "I'll help her redeem herself!"
The old procuress didn't expect Zhou Qu to say that. Her smile froze for a moment before she continued, "General Zhou, I can't make things difficult for you, but this girl just came. I just told her to start receiving customers …"
"How much do you need? Just say it out loud!" Zhou Qu said impatiently. The old procuress rolled her eyes and said, "1000 taels of silver!"
Zhou Qu immediately took out the banknotes that he had on him. The old procuress immediately took the money happily. Soong Yun looked at Zhou Qu and said, "It seems a little inappropriate for a general to do this."
Zhou Qu looked at him.
Soong Yun said, "Today, when the emperor assigned the marriage to you in the imperial court, the general said that there was only the madam in his heart, but he would spend a lot of money in this brothel tonight. If that's the case, then the emperor would …"
Hearing Soong Yun's words, Zhou Qu immediately frowned. He said, "Wang Yanran, after you take her out, just find a place for her to settle down. I never said that …"
Before Zhou Qu could finish his words, the closed door in front of him was suddenly opened. Wang Yanran knelt on the ground and said, "General! "Yanran's life is already ruined. Since you don't want me, then let's just end it here!"
Then, Wang Yanran pulled out the dagger she prepared beforehand and was about to wipe it on her neck, but Zhou Qu was faster than her. He stopped her and said, "What are you doing?"
Before Zhou Qu could finish his words, Wang Yanran had already hugged him.
