Zhou Beichen walked forward with his hands behind his back, a smile etched in his eyes. "That's right. Nuannuan has been with me since she was four years old. Later, she attended government affairs directly in the Xuanzheng Hall. She has been influenced by me, so of course she is different from other women."
"Of course, of course!"
Deshun was so happy that someone praised Zhou Zhaonuan that when he smiled, the fat on his face was squeezed together and his eyes were almost invisible.
When he was almost at Xuan Zheng Hall, he saw a pink figure in the distance. Zhou Beichen narrowed his eyes and his expression instantly turned cold.
"What is she doing there? I remember that I didn't seem to ask her to come over."
Over the years, Deshun has never liked Concubine Liang, and the same goes for Concubine Liang's younger sister, Concubine Liang.
Plus, the border defense map was “lost” some time ago?
"I don't know, but seeing that she is holding a food box, I think she is bringing food to the emperor."
Zhou Beichen didn't say anything and quickened his pace. There were still five days before the expedition, and he could leave after the troops were counted.
"Send me something to eat. I'm afraid she'll give me a big one."
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
When Liangdi saw the visitor, she knelt down with joy. Thinking of her sister's instructions, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
Seeing the bright yellow dragon boots stop in front of her, Liangdi deliberately lowered her body even more.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you will be leading the army in person in the next few days, so I specially made a white fungus and lotus seed soup for you. Please try it."
Glancing at the food box, Zhou Beichen said in a tone that didn't convey any emotion, "Bring it in."
"Yes, I'll be right there."
Liangdi was delighted and her face was also full of joy.
After Zhou Beichen sat in the main seat, Liang Di placed the food box on the table, took out the food, and personally brought it to Zhou Beichen, "Your Majesty, please try it."
Zhou Beichen just waved his hand. Liang Di was stunned and her face stiffened a little. She knelt down and spoke miserably.
"The Emperor is angry with me."
"No."
"The Emperor is angry about what happened at the morning court."
"No."
Liangdi pursed her lips, then gritted her teeth and asked with a wavering mind.
"Your Majesty is worried about border issues. I know it's my father, the Emperor, and my mother, the Empress, who sent troops to attack the imperial court, forcing you to lead the army in person. Your Majesty, if you are angry, please punish me."
After Liang Di finished speaking, she did not look up at Zhou Beichen immediately. She reached out and wiped her eyes, trying hard to suppress her tears.
"I never thought that my father and mother said such good things when they sent me here. They said that they sent me and my sister here just to improve the relationship between our two countries. But I didn't expect..."
Zhou Beichen felt annoyed after hearing this. Mu Ran raised his hand and placed his cold fingers on his chin, which made Liang Di's heart shudder. She looked up, her small face was white and rosy, with a string of tears on each cheek, which made her look even more pitiful.
Zhou Beichen swung his hand violently, and Liangdi fell to the ground. She stood up on her own and knelt in front of Zhou Beichen again, but this time, she was almost ready to die.
"Your Majesty, since I have married you in this life, I will never betray you. I only hope that Your Majesty will return victorious, even if it means taking the bodies of my father and mother with you. They will bear the consequences of their own sins, and I do not blame you."
Liang Di stretched out her watch to show her determination. Zhou Beichen nodded lightly, without any expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"emperor......"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liangdi called out again.
"Okay, leave the food there. I'll try it later. You can go back now."
Liang Di walked out, looking back every few steps, and De Shun kept complaining in his heart.
"Who are you pretending to be so shy for?"
She wanted to say that even if he was a eunuch, he would not want a woman like Liangdi, even though her figure was graceful and very attractive.
When Liang Di walked out of Xuan Zheng Hall, her eyes became solemn and gloomy. Some time ago, she finally saw your country's border control map in Xuan Zheng Hall secretly. With her extraordinary memory from childhood to adulthood, she drew the thing and secretly sent it out of the palace. This led to the situation today where Zhou Beichen had to lead the army in person.
Before Zhou Beichen leads the army in person, she and her sister will join forces to bring down Zhou Zhaonuan. However, Zhou Zeyun will be alone and will inevitably be isolated and helpless. In that way, when Zhou Zeyun is the only one in the capital, she and her sister will find a way to let the remaining troops of the Yuan Kingdom in, and the great cause that her father has worked hard for more than ten years can finally be realized.
Thinking of this, Liangdi felt a little happier and walked towards the imperial garden with light steps like a bird returning to its nest.
Until Liangdi saw a man in black, she suddenly became alert, looked at the palace maid beside her, and both of them kept shouting.
"There's an assassin! Come on, catch the assassin!"
Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, the guards hidden in the palace who were responsible for the palace's security became agitated when they heard the noise and ran out from all directions. A man who looked like the leader of the guards ran up to Liangdi with a serious expression on his face.
There seemed to be a subtle anxiety. The appearance of an assassin in the palace was a sign of their incompetence. If they didn't catch the assassin, they would probably not be able to be the commander anymore.
"Excuse me, sir, where did the assassin go?"
Liang Di looked panicked and frightened. She stretched out her hand and pointed forward, "I think it's in the direction ahead. I don't know the exact direction."
"Thank you for your visit, sir."
The guard waved his hand, and in an instant, countless guards followed. The guards were looking for him, but a sharp-eyed guard looked up and their eyes met. The faces on his faces were definitely not friendly.
"Here, everyone, come quickly and surround him."
The guards rushed forward again, but the assassin was so skilled in martial arts that he could easily climb walls and jump over rooftops. With a few quick moves, he left the guards behind. After chasing him left and right, they finally saw him enter Yingyue Pavilion in a grand manner.
"Tangtang, when do you think that person will..."
"Princess, be careful!"
Normally, Zhou Zhaonuan didn't like having too many people around her, especially in the palace. So today, there were no one in the courtyard of Yingyue Pavilion at all, and she had gone there to rest.
Before he could finish his sentence, the assassin had already started fighting with Zhou Zhaonuan. Although he had learned martial arts for several years, Zhou Zhaonuan still had a hard time dealing with the assassin.
After a cycle, the two stood on opposite sides, neither of them willing to let the other go, fearing that the other would give them a fatal blow.
Zhou Zhaonuan was already out of breath, but the assassin was still breathing steadily, with a deathly pale look on his face, which made Zhou Zhaonuan associate the assassin with a rag doll.
"Who are you? Don't you know that trespassing into the palace is a capital offense?"
