When the imperial guards didn't find Zhou Leping in the palace, Zhao Deng guessed that she must have left, but when she left, why did she come back? She just wanted to die?

Zhao Shiqian looked at Zhao Deng, from the expression on his face is not difficult to see, he should have no knowledge of Zhou Leping's arrival.

"Bring people in."

When Bi Daoshi withdrew from the palace, and soon the imperial guards escorted a woman in, wearing a long scarlet dress. Her skirt swayed like a red plum blooming in winter, and a cotton jacket with a collar lined with a face the size of a palm. This face was familiar and strange. It had appeared in his dream more than once. He was sad for it and hated her.

She wore a simple bun, and there was no pearl hairpin on her head. Although she was so simple, at a glance, she was still bright, like the only blooming flower in the grass.

When Bi in a side way, "crime Minister Zhou Leping, see the emperor still don't kneel down!"

Zhao Shiqian couldn't open his eyes and waved impatiently, "you all go down. You are not allowed to come in without my command!"

When Bi wanted to talk, he stopped, but when he saw the emperor's eyes, he could not speak any more. He took the palace maids, eunuchs and bodyguards to step down.

If put in the past, Zhou Leping is definitely a threat, but now she is not afraid at all, so there is no need to worry that the safety of the emperor will be threatened.

Zhou Leping has always wanted to see Zhao Shiqian, especially when he just picked up his life and woke up to find himself in the state of Qi. He thought about it every day, but now he sees it, but his heart is calm and there are no waves, on the contrary, there are no waves.

Because there is no hope for him, there is nothing to look forward to.

She knelt down on the ground, the line of ordinary folk ceremony, address has changed, "Zhou Leping see the emperor."

It's not a minister, it's not a crime minister.

Zhao Shiqian's eyes are crazy, "stand up."

Zhou Leping stood up obediently and turned his eyes around before he fell on Zhao Deng with a concerned face. "Your Highness, King Rui, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right?"

"Zixi..."

"I haven't heard this name for a long time. It's kind of cordial that I haven't seen you for a long time."

"What are you doing?" Zhao Deng shook his head, "why do you want to do this?"

Zhou Leping looked at him perplexed, a pair of what also don't understand appearance, "Your Highness why say this?"

Then he said to Zhao Shiqian, "on the day when the emperor rescued me from Qingzhou, I happened to meet a group of road robbers. Maybe there was no woman for a long time, so I was taken captive. Later, I found a chance to escape. I heard that the emperor came back to the capital, so he kept coming back. Fortunately, it was still in time."

"Villain?" Zhao Shiqian looked at Zhao Deng and said, "are you sure you are abducted by gangsters, not acquaintances?"

"Sometimes my eyes don't work well, but I can tell the difference between villains and acquaintances."

Zhao Shiqian sneered and said, "I heard that you and Zhu GuanLiang are about to get married. They are about to be five imperial concubines. Why are you willing to leave Qingzhou?"

"I used to be a minister of the emperor. Even if I'm not now, I'm from the state of Zhao. Whether I live or die depends on the land of the state of Zhao."

Zhao Shiqian said well and approached her, "before I remove you from office, you are still my minister. As a minister, how can you not call yourself a minister? One by one, but my heart is no longer here? Since the heart is not here, what's the difference between the state of Zhao and the state of Qi? "

Zhou Leping couldn't take up any anger. He calmly looked at Zhao Shiqian, pursed his lips and said to Zhao Deng, "when Qi guogang woke up, I was told that my martial arts were exhausted and there was no internal power. In the future, when I was a useless man who couldn't even hold the bowl, I thought that I might as well die. As a general, I couldn't even hold the bowl. What's the meaning of living?"

Her face was relaxed, and she didn't feel like telling herself, "I did try to die. I cut off the bed curtain and wanted to throw it on the beam. But I didn't have enough strength to throw it. It's just like the bedroom in Meiyuan. I can't even throw such a short beam. Are you ridiculous?"

"I also thought about hitting a wall, biting my tongue and committing suicide. I thought of everything I could think of, but I didn't die. Finally, Zhu GuanLiang showed me a picture of the landscape of Zhao state and the map of the capital city. Then I figured out why I wanted to die here. I had to die in my own home, let alone suicide, You have to do something useful before you die. "

Zhao Deng felt that she said this to herself.

Isn't Meiyuan's bedroom where he lived when he brought her back? roof beam? Anything else useful? Is it a hint that there is something on the beam of Meiyuan's bedroom?

Finally, Zhou Leping turned to Zhao Shiqian and said sincerely, "I said that as long as the emperor needs me, I can die for the emperor. This sentence is always valid, and so is my heart. No matter when, no matter why, as long as the emperor needs me, my life is the Emperor's

Zhao Shiqian looked at her, "you..."

"I'm not treason. The Zhou family has been loyal to the state of Zhao from generation to generation." Her eyes were dim, she was clearly laughing, and her words were full of sincerity, but she felt hopeless and indifferent.

Zhao Shiqian was at a loss when she said that, "you are loyal or unfaithful, just listen to your one-sided words, how can I believe it?" Zhao Deng gnashed his teeth and looked at Zhao Shiqian, "the Emperor..." Zhou Leping said, "what does the emperor say?" Zhao Shiqian irritably sat back on the Dragon seat, "come on! Go and ask the national teacher to come here! " He didn't believe what he said. Whether she was loyal or not, he finally asked a Taoist in the name of national teacher to judge. It's ironic. The national master kept coming. When he saw Zhou Leping, his eyes couldn't help straightening. He had heard about the general's beauty before he was disfigured. Today, I was lucky to see him. It really deserved his reputation. I couldn't help but sigh that I wish him good medical skills. In front of the emperor, he didn't dare to look too presumptuous. He took back his eyes and knelt down on the ground. "Can the emperor have something to tell me?"“ I ask you, is there any way to verify whether a person is lying? " The National Teacher's eyes turned and said, "there are ways to return to the emperor."“ OK, then ask the national master to perform a Dharma and see if she has lied“ When you return to the emperor, the magic that tests people's sincerity is a kind of advanced magic of our school. It doesn't work freely. You have to ask Miss Zhou and her ministers to go to Tianxing pavilion with the help of array to cast successfully. " Zhao Shiqian is more impatient, "there is no simple way?" The national master worried with a face, "as the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable. If you want to know a person's heart accurately, you can only do so."
