95 Planning A Recreational Outing (1/2)

Ning Fu could hear the pain and worry in the monarch's voice but he didn't know what words to she to soothe that hurt.

Oh! How painful it must be for such a young person to first stay as a hostage and then come back to his home and realizing that many of his own blood brothers had an ounce of pity for what he had gone through and didn't even show him the respect he deserved.

He looked at his new brother, his actions and eyes clearing asking the other person to try and talk to the monarch but all he received in response was a minute shake of the head.

It was clear that the other person wanted to let the monarch to speak the difficulties in his heart and hence lighten his heavy heart. So, Ning Fu also wisely decided to keep quiet and simply listen.

Su Li walked back and forth on the paved ground and then whirled towards the other two people and said, ”Zhen doesn't want to fight with his own blood brothers. At least, not for this empty position. But Zhen will not let them harm the innocents in their bid to power.”

At those words, Ning Fu felt his blood boil and with a loud thump, he went on his knees to kowtow to the monarch and proclaimed, ”Your Majesty, this lowly one is at your service. This servant doesn't know much about the imperial court politics but from what this lowly one has seen, it's better for the dynasty and the commoners if these miscreants are dealt with before they spread mass hysteria in the public.”

Su Li hadn't even thought that before she could finish her words, she would be presented with such a scene where The Unit Commander would loudly proclaim his loyalty and send himself to her door to be a shield and a sword for her.

She gave a bittersweet smile at the scene in front of her, simply raised her hand and replied, ”Get off the cold floor, Unit Commander. Zhen knows about your loyalty and doesn't doubt you. If Zhen had, Zhen wouldn't have allowed Zhou Sheng to be entered into the genealogy books.”

Ning Fu felt happy when he heard the first few words of his liege but the next words completely put to rest the joy that had been bubbling up inside his heart.

He wondered to himself, why was it that earlier he had to contend with that fool Head Commander of the Shadow Guards and now he had to contend against Zhou Sheng for the monarch's praise.

It was truly difficult to get a word of praise from the dragon's mouth.

Irrespective of what he was thinking, Su Li turned towards Zhou Sheng.

Before Zhou Sheng could pay obeisance to her, she held him by his hands and warmly mentioned, ”I don't ever want to see you bowing to me. I can tolerate it in front of others because you insist on it but not when we are the only ones here.”

She gave him a deep look before adding, ”Moreover, I have much to thank you for. So, if you insist on doing this, it makes me feel even more awkward. More importantly, I can never repay you for all that you have done for me.”

Zhou Sheng simply smiled at her words and replied, ”I — I will help you do whatever you want. You can trust me on that, can't you?”

Su Li laughed at his words.

”If do. I trust you with all my heart.”

”Even after all that has already happened? You don't blame me?” He questioned.

”Why should I? It's not like you were the one who did everything. Rather you repeatedly insisted me to go back that day. If not for that person, you wouldn't have had to see such an ugly side of things.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
