C242 I Just Want to Protect You for the Rest of My Life
Lee Wanning was sitting inside the prison with her arms wrapped around her legs, looking out the window at the moonlight.
She didn't hate anyone. The only thing she resented was herself.
At that time, the fake Zhou Qu should have been dealt with directly, but the matters of Wen Chenghao, Su Ann and Ann Yang had left him completely exhausted. When Lee Wanning wanted to deal with this matter, it was already too late.
However, Lee Wanning suddenly recalled someone.
Soong Yun, who wasn't in the imperial court today.
In this game, what exactly was his role?
Or was he also a chess player?
Lee Wanning closed her eyes for a moment.
She knew that King Lingsu would definitely not let her off. The only thing she could beg for was Zhou Qu's safety, as well as Zhou Heng and the others.
"Empress, don't worry. If elder brother hears the news now, he'll definitely come to save you. Don't worry!"
Lee Wanning only smiled when she heard Zhou Heng's words.
Now, it was unknown whether Zhou Qu was alive or dead.
When Lee Wanning found out that someone was impersonating Zhou Qu, she sent someone to find out where Zhou Qu was. Before she could reap any rewards from him, something like this happened.
Lee Wanning could only shake her head.
In the end, her skills were inferior.
However, if it was possible, she would rather never appear in this imperial court. She didn't care about any power or influence at all.
She only cared about him and Zhou Qu.
At this moment, Soong Yun was on the way to Yanguang County.
The sky inside the Capital City had changed. King Lingsu and Grand Consort Lan quickly took control of the entire imperial court. As for whether that King Lingsu was real or fake, no one really cared.
What they were concerned about was who was the person currently in power.
Soong Yun kept patting the horse's back, staring ahead. Inside, it was silent.
He knew that Zhou Qu must have met with an accident on the way, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to remain indifferent after so many days have passed.
After all, the person in that position was the person he loved the most!
Thinking about that, Soong Yun's expression became even more solemn.
At this time, Zhou Qu was also on the way to the Capital City.
He was alone. Because of his last encounter, he had learned to be smart. It was convenient for him to move on his own and no one would know that he had taken that path. Therefore, it was very safe.
On the way, Zhou Qu saw the dust in front of him at a glance. His eyes slightly squinted as he stopped the horse.
The surroundings were completely silent.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
That person seemed to be hurrying on his way as well. Just as he was about to pass by him, Zhou Qu said, "Soong Yun!"
Hearing the sound, that person immediately stopped. When he saw Zhou Qu, his eyes immediately lit up, and said, "General Zhou! "You're finally back!"
Zhou Qu felt that something was wrong when he saw Ye Zichen's look, "What happened to you?"
Soong Yun rubbed his eyes and said, "The emperor has already passed away. Now there's suddenly King Lingsu, and along with you, the whole court is under your control. Empress Dowager Lee is also arrested!"
Hearing that, Zhou Qu's face immediately changed. He said, "Then what are you standing there for? "Hurry up and go back!"
"It's not General Zhou. We don't have any troops now. Even if we go back like this, it would be useless!"
Soong Yun's words made sense.
Zhou Qu thought for a moment and said, "This matter cannot be hesitated. Don't you have a personal guard? Is it still there? "
"Yes, but it's not even ten thousand yet. The entire Capital City is now filled with people …"
"It doesn't matter. As long as you have it, it's fine. Let's hurry up and go!"
Zhou Qu's unease had been proven, so he was right to come back without stopping.
He must save Lee Wanning! He must save her!
At this moment, Princess Changle had also heard about the matters concerning Yingjia.
At that time, Princess Changle had originally been thinking about whether the envoy incident had made the people from Yingjia unhappy, but after hearing this news, the expression on her face instantly changed.
"Where did this King Lingsu come from?"
"I don't know. Back then, this person had never existed in the history of Yingjia, but right now, the entire country is just a pile of loose sand. What do you want to say? Isn't it all those people's fault?"
What Xuan Er said was not unreasonable. Princess Changle's brows slightly rose as she said, "So what's the situation inside the Yingjia?"
"Empress Dowager Lee has already been arrested. General Zhou has brought less than 10,000 men to confront them."
Xuan Er said.
Princess Changle frowned and said, "How could General Zhou not even have 10,000 soldiers left?"
"It's because an interesting thing happened in the Capital City. The appearance of two General Zhou."
"Two General Zhou?"
"Yes, one is on King Lingsu's side and the other is trying to save Empress Dowager Lee."
"Just think for a moment and you'll know which one is real."
Princess Changle said with a smile.
Xuan Er nodded her head and said, "But the people from Yingjia Country don't seem to understand. Those people were even brought up by General Zhou himself!"
Princess Changle looked ahead and said, "How is the situation at the border now?"
"The Xiliang can't hold on any longer, but even if the Yingjia Nation is in a mess, they still want to give their troops a lot, so there won't be any losses."
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "What I want to say is that the situation over at Xiliang is about right now. Tell me, do I have to go and help Lee Wanning?"
Hearing Princess Changle's words, Xuan Er's expression changed slightly. "Princess, your words mean …"
"After all, she saved me before, didn't she?"
Xuan Er frowned and said, "Although what you say is correct, but if we help her like this and she doesn't want to accept it, what if she bites us instead?"
Princess Changle rubbed her brow and said, "I was thinking the same thing. Although I don't believe Aa Ning would do such a thing, no matter what happened to Aa Ning, it's not something that can be predicted."
Princess Changle naturally knew about this unfathomable matter.
Xuan Er looked at her and said, "So Princess, I think we should just wait and see."
Princess Changle frowned and thought for a while before saying, "That's true, then let's do it this way for now. Anyway, how about this King Lingsu? He won't just kill Lee Wanning."
As long as Lee Wanning didn't die, that was good enough.
Princess Changle looked to the front and said, "Alright, you can leave now. I'm going to sleep."
Xuan Er nodded. She then helped Princess Changle to tidy up her clothes before turning around to leave.
Princess Changle was lying on the bed with her hands on her stomach. By now, she could already feel the slight power that was being transmitted to her from above.
This was her and Shangguan Jinghua's child.
However, Princess Changle could clearly see what happened last time. Shangguan Jinghua didn't want this child at all.
But that didn't matter. Princess Changle had said from the beginning that this was her child alone.
Now, she had returned to the Imperial Palace.
Everyone was staring at her face, but Princess Changle acted as if she didn't see anything.
She was still the same as before. Royal Father and his mother were very dissatisfied with what they had done. When they saw how the crown prince was turned into like by her, they were so angry that they wanted to beat her up.
However, Princess Changle was no longer the little girl from back then. Even if they were angry inside, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
All they could do was to obey their own arrangements.
Everything had nothing to do with it.
Princess Changle only wanted to give birth to her child now, so she didn't care about other matters.
Just as Princess Changle was thinking this, she heard a soft voice coming from outside.
Her expression changed slightly, and when she turned around, she saw a figure jumping in.
Princess Changle closed her eyes, a dagger in her hand.
It was unknown when it was that she had started to sleep, but she always had to bring something like this along with her.
And now, that person was slowly approaching. Those familiar footsteps caused Princess Changle's expression to change slightly. Just as she wanted to open her eyes, he had already sat down beside her.
"Princess, I've come to see you."
Aa Tia!
Princess Changle frowned but did not open her eyes.
She knew what Aa Tia thought about her and knew that he had no interest in Xuan Er. However, in order to keep this relationship balanced, Princess Changle could only pretend to be deaf and mute.
Aa Tia sat down beside her, looked at the person on the bed and said, "Princess, I know I can't do this. I also know that at this time, I should be on the battlefield and not here, but today … It's my birthday. I think I can be willful for once.
I never had a home, my parents were killed by bandits, and even if you didn't appear that day, I wouldn't have let a group of people off easily. But the strange thing is, when I saw you just now, I felt that I should protect you, maybe it was just like they said, you're too beautiful, making people want to protect you.
But I know that you like this, you have never been someone I can have. I can only choose to stand by your side and look up to you. Princess, I … I just want to be by your side, so don't chase me away, okay? "
Princess Changle was unable to answer.
After Aa Tia looked at her, he suddenly possessed her.
A light kiss landed on her forehead.
