Still not believing what I said, Zhao wang continued asking, ”Not even su Palace?”

I shook ained his composure and pondered After a while, he replied with a rueful tone, ”The Emperor has always been a dedicated lover”

I suddenly felt guilty about bringing this topic up because I thought it had re shi+ I was about to console hioes for all of the e of dedicated and responsible man in our clan”

Dedicated? Responsible? Then what do you call the late Emperor who died on top of a beautiful wo simply stared at me with a sole indifferent Though deep in heart, I very much wanted to stomp on his face withto rein in my temper, and then I said, ”I don't care if he is a dedicatedand so me for help Since the Emperor doesn't detest women, then could you tell him to appease those women? After all, whether he likes them or not, they are his women, and it would be shame to waste their youth on a uard by , ”The E and the north keeps acting up He also has to deal with the power struggles at court It's hard to be an Emperor, you know So you can understand that he didn't have the tiht for a while and asked, ”Has the situation really beco nodded and replied, ”I am not at the front, but I heard from a few old friends in the army that the decision to quash the rebellion has been athered and soon the army will be asseured that Qi Sheng would send troops to Yunxi I just didn't expect that it would be so quick Plus, I didn't hear anything fro clan about potential military movement, so I was rather surprised when I heard this fro I asked, ”Do you knohy the E to lead the troops?”

Zhao wang looked at me and replied, ”The Emperor means to take this opportunity to conquer the entirety of Yunxi and to make it a province as oppose to its forchen's force is not nearly enough and the army has to be assembled elsewhere The Imperial Guard cannot beBei”

Was this supposed to dith? I was a bit worried and stared at Zhao wang, waiting for hiive me more information To my surprise, he simply smiled and said, ”Unfortunately, I don't know precisely whose army is to be mobilized”

Bullshi+t! If you don't knohy did you say sowithyou for it！

I sprang from the stair and started to walk out

But as I left, I couldn't shake off this feeling that soer on it It was only when I returned to the banquet and sat down that I suddenly realized that I had left Lv Li back there!

My first instinct was to go back and find Lv Li, but just when I was about to stand up, I iht besideright back at ht that Lv Li, being a grooman and the chamber maid to the Empress, would not be bullied so easily by anyone

With this thought, I relaxed and held up the cup to place it under 's gaze

Qi Sheng's gaze didn't linger onquickly turned around to talk to the Grand Dowager Eot relaxed I then thought that sipping as too feo Suddenly, I noticed that Lv Li was sneaking in from outside with her head down like a thief

I found it strange, and as soon as she found her seat beside me, I turned around and asked, ”What happened?”

Lv Li was blushi+ng and she onlywhile, ”Your… Your Majesty Zhao wang… I…”

I was befuddled and hurriedly turned around to find Zhao wang's seat There was no one there Clearly Zhao wang hadn't come back yet I then turned around to look at Lv Li and felt a chill running down my spine Shoot, they were alone in that remote section of the palace Could it be that Lv Li had been ”bullied” by Zhao wang?

While I was filled with shock, anger and regret, I heard Lv Li saying, ”I… I beat up Zhao wang…”

Caught off guard, I was struck duer that I had been feeling dissipated ih Zhao wang had fallen out of power, he was still Qi Sheng's brother, and the grandson of the Grand Dowager Eot to beat hiot uilty towards ot over theed uilt written all over her face She said timidly, ”I was really bored and fell asleep When I woke up, I saw a figure right in front of …”

Having listened to her account of what happened, I figured Zhao wang wasn't without fault Plus, Lv Li's face was really pitiful and so I whispered, trying to console her, ”There, there What's done is done This is not the first ti as you didn't hit his face, you… Wait, you didn't hit his face, right?”
