Zhao Deng, who just came out of Zhengqian hall, heard this. He knew how good Zhou Leping was to his sister. He grew up with them. However, even if they didn't believe Zhou Leping, it was unreasonable for her favorite sister to think so.

This made Zhao Deng feel uncomfortable. He strode over and squatted down to help Zhou Leqi. "Master Zhou, the secret order has been sent to Dingzhou. It's a foregone conclusion and can't be changed. But don't worry. After taking Dingzhou, our army will be able to move forward. As long as Zixi is alive, we will be able to save her."

Zhou Leqi arched his hand and said, "I don't dare to ask the emperor to change his mind. I just want to ask the emperor to believe her. If she was treason, the state of Qi would have gone into a deserted land for a long time. Why hasn't there been any movement so far?"

Zhao Deng nodded with approval, "Mr. Zhou is at ease. He... Also believes in Zixi, but now the situation does not allow Zixi to serve the public wholeheartedly. How can he not believe her?"

Zhou Le'an listened to him finish, a little doubt, "Your Highness, the emperor, he..."

Because of her remarks just now, Zhao Deng's favor for her plummeted, and he didn't want to talk to her. He stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation and said, "it's just that I want to go back, and Mr. Zhou will come with me."

Zhou Leqi thanks and turns to leave with Zhao Deng.

Zhou Le'an was left in the same place by himself. He felt sad and depressed. He stamped his feet and bit his teeth. Looking at the back of Zhou Leqi and Zhao Deng, the more he thought about it, the more angry he was!

The maid in waiting asked her, "madam, why don't we go back too?"

"Go back? Where are you going? " Zhou Le'an looked in the direction of Zhengqian hall and said, "let's go to see the emperor."

"But..." said the maid carefully, "didn't father-in-law he just say that? The emperor, he will not see anyone

"Is this palace an outsider? If the emperor does not see others, he will not see our palace. "

The emperor's heart must be suffering at this time. It's time to be relieved. How could she give up such a good opportunity? She left, and many people were waiting for her.

But it's not surprising that he was stopped at the door by Shi Bi before he could enter the hall. "Niang Niang, the emperor has orders. No one can see. Niang Niang, please go back."

Zhou Le'an choked up in his chest, "how do you know that the emperor doesn't see the palace before you go in?"

When Bi copied his hand, he looked embarrassed. "Niang Niang, don't embarrass the slave. The emperor said that no one can be seen. Naturally, Niang Niang is included."

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Le'an raised his hand and gave a slap to Shi Bi, "the Emperor didn't say that you decided for him. Do you still want to pass the imperial edict?"

When Bi said that he was also the red man in front of the emperor. When Qiurong was the queen, he didn't say much to him, but at least he didn't say a word or two. But he did it. The other concubines in the palace came to flatter him. It was the first time since he became the chief eunuch.

As the saying goes, a big dog depends on its owner. It's Zhou Le'an who beats him in the face, but it's the emperor who loses his face.

When Bi face smile does not reduce, also one step refused to give in, "how dare I fake imperial edict, slave just according to orders, the emperor's preference, the empress is the most clear, the emperor hate those who carry not clear woman, so the empress or please go back."

"How dare you curse my palace?"

Zhou Le'an was in a bad mood today. He couldn't bear to be satirized by others. He had to do it again. Before he slapped him, he was stopped by the maid in waiting. "Lady, you can't do it. Father he is the emperor's side. Isn't that... It's equivalent to beating the emperor's face?"

Zhou Le'an gritted his teeth and glared at the respectful Shi Bi in front of him. Then he looked at the gate of Zhengqian hall. He shook his hand and left angrily.

When Bi waited for her to leave, he just touched her face and spat, "after being spoiled for two days, I really think I'm a score. Unfortunately, it's not you that the emperor is thinking about. No matter how hard you try, you can't get into the emperor's heart. It's a waste of effort."

Bai Lei received Zhao Shiqian's Secret decree on the last day of Zhao Shiqian's ten day city breaking period, asking Qi state to cede Dingzhou City to change the order for peace.

This result is also expected by Bai Lei. Although Jiang Shi's words are irritating, there is no denying that his words are very reasonable.

So on the tenth day, Qi Huan led his troops to withdraw from Dingzhou City. The flag of the state of Zhao was planted on the tower of Dingzhou City. The people who could escape from the city had already fled. The rest were the old people who had lived here all their lives and didn't want to go. Shan Ning and Jiang Shi were put back. The huge Dingzhou City was like an empty city?

After Shan Ning returned to Qi State, the sage gave him a banquet to frighten him. Zhu GuanLiang came back from the palace to attend the banquet. He passed by Zhou Leping's courtyard and saw her sitting in the middle of the courtyard, lonely and bleak in the back. The people who saw her were heartbroken for no reason.

"What are you doing sitting here without sleeping?"

She pointed to a star in the sky and said, "thinking about life, people say that when they die, they will become stars in the sky. Then I will be the brightest one in the sky in the future."

"Death is dust to dust, dust to soil. You can believe the trick of coaxing children."“ Why don't you believe it? This person always has to have a thought to live. No matter whether it's true or not, who knows what's going on behind him. "“ If you are sad, you can cry for a while, and it's no shame for a woman to shed tears. " Zhou Leping tried to pretend to be very free and easy, lying back on the ground, one leg on the other leg, shaking, "I haven't shed tears for many years, besides, there's nothing worth crying." Zhu GuanLiang lay on her right hand side, leaned over and raised his head to look at her, "come on, I said that. I may have cried many times when there was no one. Now your reputation of treason is real. Qi State... Is the only place for you."“ What I despise most in my life is a traitor. What the world hates most should be a traitor. Zhao people think I'm a traitor. Qi people don't think I'm a traitor. That's because you can be clean for a moment. When you get out of this door, you drown me with a mouthful of saliva. " He was quite surprised that she said this, "do you understand? Finally know that I'm your safe haven? "“ I think so. " She also looked back at him. "Sometimes I just thought that I was born a woman, and I had to be a man. Now I don't have to live like a man. It's good to be a woman, and I don't have to worry about it. When someone hurts, I can stop and have a rest when I'm tired. I'm still young. Now that I've been forced to be a man, why don't I just let it go?"
