C181 I dare Not Speak of the Sufferings of Lovesick
Wen Chenghao's eyes were also looking at him and said, "General Zhou is actually not very peaceful in the imperial court, is he?"
Zhou Qu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wen Chenghao smiled and said, "I think General Zhou and I should be the same person."
Zhou Qu didn't know how to answer, because he wasn't sure about Wen Chenghao's attitude.
Perhaps, what he wanted to do might not be true.
Zhou Qu said, "No matter what, the people of Dawn are very important."
Wen Chenghao only smiled, "Of course."
On the same night, Wen Chenghao sent a letter to the palace requesting to return to court.
The emperor's dictation hadn't arrived yet, but Wen Chenghao heard something first and said, "I don't know if General Zhou knows or not?"
Zhou Qu looked at Ye Zichen with a look of confusion.
Wen Chenghao smiled and said, "It's about the palace. Do you know that the emperor is about to have a son?"
When he heard this news, Zhou Qu almost dropped the cup in his hands. Wen Chenghao saw his reaction and couldn't help but slightly narrow his eyes.
Zhou Qu said, "Yes …" Empress's? "
Wen Chenghao looked at him and shook his head. "That's not it. I heard that the Emperor has conferred a concubine to her."
Hearing this, Liu Tie's heart immediately relaxed. It looked like this in Wen Chenghao's eyes, making the smile on Wen Chenghao's face become even more obvious. He said, "General Zhou, you and the empress …"
"Master Wen, you're overthinking it. There's nothing between Empress and me."
Zhou Qu's eagerness to deny it caused Wen Chenghao's eyes to deepen.
But he said nothing.
The emperor's dictation quickly came and allowed them to return to court. As for the Zhang Zhu case, since Zhang Zhu was someone who committed many evil deeds, he could just casually deal with the surrounding crowd.
The senior messenger and the general of the imperial court were here, so it could be said that they valued Zhang Zhu's identity.
On the way back, Wen Chenghao asked Zhou Qu, "By the way, didn't General Zhou say he wanted to go back to his hometown and have a look? Thinking about it, since General Zhoujin became an official, he probably hasn't gone to his hometown yet, right? "
Zhou Qu's eyes glanced at him and said, "Yes, that's good. But my hometown no longer has relatives, so there's no need to go back."
After Zhou Qu finished speaking, Wen Chenghao didn't say anything for a long time. Zhou Qu's eyes looked at him, but Wen Chenghao had already turned his eyes away, and said with a smile, "General Zhou is really open-minded, but at this moment …" "No need to turn back."
Wen Chenghao's words didn't seem to be praising him at all.
However, Zhou Qu was already used to Ye Zichen's tone, so he didn't think too much into it.
The two of them continued on like this all the way to the Capital City. Coincidentally, that month was the Emperor's birthday, and since it was the first birthday of the Emperor, it naturally had to be arranged without restraint.
I heard that the crown prince and princess consort of Xiliang are coming personally.
When she heard the news, Lee Wanning was feeding fish in a pond in the imperial garden.
Hearing the palace maid mention this matter, her hands immediately trembled, almost shaking off the things in her hands.
Then, she looked at the person beside her.
The palace maid looked at him strangely.
Lee Wanning clapped her hands and said, "It's nothing. This Princess Changle is my aunt. I haven't seen her for a long time. She's just a little excited."
Lee Wanning initially thought that this war wouldn't happen that quickly, but she never thought that things would develop so quickly.
Fast enough to make himself... He was caught off guard.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, she heard a voice call out from the front, "Empress."
Lee Wanning's eyes turned around when she heard the sound, but she saw Chiang Yifeng slowly walking over.
After what happened last time, Lee Wanning hadn't seen her for a long time. Chiang Yifeng's stomach wasn't particularly obvious, but she still appeared to be very careful.
Lady Consort Yi was already pregnant, and the emperor valued her very much. In comparison, although Lee Wanning was the empress, Ann Tan rarely came to his own palace, so many people in the palace said that the Emperor actually liked Lady Consort Yi. Their relationship with the empress was just a facade.
Hearing these words, Lee Wanning's expression didn't change at all. She told the people inside her own palace, "No matter what, do your own thing."
No matter how indignant Lee Wanning was, she could only shut her mouth and remain silent after she said that.
When she saw Chiang Yifeng, there was no change in Lee Wanning's expression. She only said, "Sofia, long time no see."
When Lee Wanning had already stood up, Chiang Yifeng suddenly stopped ten meters away from Lee Wanning.
Lee Wanning frowned.
Chiang Yifeng said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please forgive us. The emperor told chenqie not to get within ten steps of her."
Lee Wanning's brows creased when she heard that. She then walked straight towards Chiang Yifeng.
Chiang Yifeng wanted to retreat, but Lee Wanning had already grabbed her hand.
She said, "It's not important what the emperor is thinking. The important thing is Yifeng. You have to treat yourself well."
Chiang Yifeng's body shuddered. Then, she slowly raised her head.
Lee Wanning was looking at herself seriously.
Actually, it was impossible for Chiang Yifeng to not resent Lee Wanning in her heart.
No wonder, when Ann Tan took over her body, even though Chiang Yifeng was unwilling, she still put Ann Tan aside in her heart.
Moreover, this man was the sovereign of the world. No matter which woman he was, he wanted to marry.
Chiang Yifeng knew how Ann Tan felt about Lee Wanning. She had also seen Ann Tan treat Lee Wanning with such care before.
The only difference was that Chiang Yifeng previously felt that Lee Wanning was very good, so it was worth it for Ann Tan to treat her like this.
But today, she was already in the same position as Lee Wanning. Even though she was the empress's own concubine, in Chiang Yifeng's head, they were both Ann Tan's women.
In fact, she even gave more to Ann Tan than to Lee Wanning.
But even so, Ann Tan wasn't willing to take another look at her. Everyone said that Consort Yi was the best woman in the harem right now. As long as they could give birth to a little prince, they might be able to get close to Empress.
But who would have known that such a life wasn't good at all?
The Emperor might seem to care for his body and was unwilling to touch him, but in truth, it was because he didn't want to see him.
He even wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Lee Wanning.
He was the one who thought that he might harm Lee Wanning.
Just how did he... Thinking?
Chiang Yifeng felt wronged, but no one could say anything. On the contrary, what about Lee Wanning?
She didn't need to pay anything to accept the most respected status in the world. She could enjoy the best, enjoy the most … Ann Tan's love and protection... Why?
Chiang Yifeng's eyes were fixated on Lee Wanning.
After Lee Wanning finished her sentence, she finally let go of Chiang Yifeng's hand.
If it was before, Chiang Yifeng would have understood that it was because Lee Wanning didn't want to make it difficult for her. But now, Chiang Yifeng thought, she might also think that she will be harmed.
After saying that, Lee Wanning turned around and left.
Chiang Yifeng gazed at Lee Wanning's back as she left. The palace maid by her side had already said, "Empress, Empress, you seem to be very understanding."
Hearing this, Chiang Yifeng chuckled softly and said, "It might be so."
Possible...
When they returned to their chambers, Lee Wanning heard the palace maid below say, "Empress, the emperor's birthday feast is coming soon. What kind of gift do you want to prepare for the emperor?"
Lee Wanning's expression changed. "Do we still need to prepare gifts?"
Hearing this, it was the palace maid's turn to change her expression. "Could it be that the Empress doesn't plan on …" Prepare a gift? "
Lee Wanning nodded and said, "Think about it. The entire world is his. What else could he want?"
The palace maid was unable to reply. Lee Wanning glanced around the room and said, "Take a look. You can take whatever is suitable."
The palace maid could do nothing but wave at Lee Wanning, who was already tired.
Zhou Huai, on the other hand, didn't move. After the palace maid left, he said slowly, "Empress, will General Zhou come for the emperor's birthday banquet?"
Hearing those words, her expression changed for you, but she … Never thought of it.
Since the crown prince of Xiliang was coming, Zhou Qu should be coming.
But that didn't seem to be the case, because Lee Wanning had heard that he seemed to be on a case.
Lee Wanning and Zhou Huai said so, but Zhou Huai only nodded.
Lee Wanning rubbed her brow and said, "I don't know. Anyway, even if he's here, he might …" and I can't say anything. "
Zhou Huai looked at Lee Wanning and said, "Empress, you are..." "How did you get here?"
Lee Wanning was stunned for a good while after hearing Zhou Huai's words.
She knew what Zhou Huai meant.
Zhou Huai knew the relationship between Lee Wanning and Zhou Qu from before.
In Lee Wanning's heart, it was as though these two people were in the same position as she was today … What was it like?
Just as Zhou Huai was thinking this, Lee Wanning already said, "It's nothing. Sometimes life is like this. If you want to get something, you have to pay a price."
Zhou Huai didn't understand.

Later, he understood, but it was too late.
Soon, Ann Tan's birthday feast arrived.
