Zhu Guanliang really wanted to remind her, have you thought that the Emperor actually did this because he hoped that you could sneak out and do something? Otherwise, if he really needed to be placed under house arrest, why wouldn't he be placed under house arrest in the palace?
However, he did not want to say it. As long as she did not die, it would not affect him in the slightest. He had mentioned to her so many times that there was no need to waste words on her.
"What if the Madam Wang confesses to Zhou Zheng that you and Fresh Witch colluded with each other?"
She shook her head with certainty, "I don't know about Madam Wang, but Zhou Zheng is a man of steel. He would never do that, I believe in him."
Zhu Guanliang drank a mouthful of the wine that he had just released, his hand supporting on the stairs as his body fell backwards, "I and the general have already considered our friendship, although I have always been the one saving the general, if anything happens to the general in the future, I will not sit idly by. I have no other choice, I will forever welcome the general here."
"You?" Zhou Leping immediately laid back on the ground, rested his arm on top of it, and sneered, "No matter how downcast I am, I will not fall to the point that I need to rely on you. Look at yourself, you are so poor, you can't even bear to look at your proud bones.
Zhu Guanliang lay down on his side, leaned on his elbows, and looked at her, "Am I that useless? It's just raising a woman. Others might also want rouge, water, silk, silk, silk, silk, and gold, but for a general like him, as long as he can fill his stomach, it's extremely easy to raise. "
She rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Are you looking down on me? "If someone can take it, then I can't?"
Zhu Guanliang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I can, of course I can."
The content of the conversation suddenly became strange, Zhou Leping was startled, and sat up abruptly.
If he drank too much, he must have drunk too much.
"It's getting late, I .." She stood up and turned around to see a figure in the corridor. It was buried in the shadows. She couldn't see his face. His hands were clasped behind his back as he looked in her direction.
She frowned and instantly became alert. Her hand subconsciously touched her waist. "Who is it?"
The figure moved and walked over.
Zhou Leping's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts. Normally, no one would barge their way in despite the tight security of General's Estate, but right now, everyone had been replaced by the imperial guards, so there shouldn't be anyone who should barge in.
He didn't know what kind of person it was that would be so silent.
Zhu Guanliang also dusted off his robes and stood up to look at the figure. He was tall, a man, and the way he walked looked familiar.
The figure finally walked out from the corridor, the two red lanterns above his head shone brightly, Zhou Leping squinted to take a look, and immediately retracted his posture to apologize, "This servant greets Your Majesty."
Zhao Shiqian changed into his usual attire, and appeared at the General's Estate in the middle of the night without making a sound. Now, with his brows knitted, displeasure was written all over his face.
Zhu Guanliang bowed and retreated to the side silently, his expression did not change at all.
Zhou Leping went forward to welcome him, "It's so late, why is the emperor here? "Why didn't you get someone to say anything in advance when you've arrived? If you meet me in the wrong, please forgive me, your majesty."
Zhao Shiqian looked at Zhu Guanliang, and the moment he opened his mouth, his voice turned cold, "I came to take a look, I didn't expect to..."
He didn't expect to see such a scene, much less hear such words.
Zhu Guanliang looked gentle and reliable, and was somewhat rigid in his medical skills. As a result, he was completely at ease by Zhou Leping's side.
He just didn't expect that people really couldn't just look at appearances.
Zhou Leping turned around and glanced at Zhu Guanliang, giving him a signal with his eyes for him to leave quickly.
Zhu Guanliang took his time, bowed and took his leave, then slowly turned back, "General, don't forget to get the medicine from my place before you go to sleep."
"Take the medicine?" Zhao Shiqian looked at Zhou Leping, "What kind of medicine is that?"
Yeah, what medicine? She also found it strange, but when she looked up at Zhao Shiqian with a questioning face, she could only reply, "Oh, this subject .. This subject has been unable to sleep, so I went to find the Dr Zhu and brewed a few herbs. "
Zhu Guanliang was completely gone this time.
Zhou Leping heaved a sigh of relief and invited Zhao Shiqian to sit in front of the table. He looked down at the wine jar on the ground and his face turned pale as he quickly picked it up and put it somewhere else.
"That's why I called Zhu Guanliang to drink with me when I couldn't sleep at night?"
"No, no, this is something this subject drank all by himself. Zhu Guanliang, he .. He came out for a stroll when he had nothing better to do, and when he happened to meet me, he just happened to chat. "
Zhu Guanliang drank from the wine jar she drank from before, talking nonstop about how Zhu Guanliang wanted to raise her.
Today, he coincidentally met her. When he hadn't met her before, the two of them had drank together countless times and said a lot of unknown things.
After returning, she and Zhao Deng had talked about everything else with a new Zhu Guanliang, who they had just met. It was as if they were getting more and more distant from each other.
"For the past two days, Zhao Deng came to us every day to plead for you, saying that we treated you unfairly and that we were undiscriminated. He even almost pointed at our nose and scolded us for being an unconscious ruler."
Zhou Leping's heart trembled. "The Prince Rui was unintentional, he has always been so presumptuous, your majesty has never tried to lower himself to the same level as Your Highness."
"Since he's my younger brother, I naturally wouldn't fuss about it with him." Zhao Shiqian's eyes flashed, "I just want to ask, do you think that what we're doing is unfair to you, that we're unjustly accusing you?"
"This subject is truly loyal to the heaven and earth. This subject's father died in the hands of the Xianyuer, and this subject hates the freshness of life more than anyone else. To say that this subject has colluded with the freshness of Yu Wu, this is simply nonsense. This accusation, this subject will never admit it no matter what."
"That means you resent me in your heart?"
"This official dares not."
"If there is, there is. If there isn't, there isn't. Don't say whether you dare or not."
She fell silent.
The Emperor sighed, "The Madam Wang has never spoken. Zhou Zheng is a man, but this matter is not good for us to speak out and favor you, you need to avoid suspicion, and we also need to avoid suspicion. We will hand this matter over to the Ministry of Justice, we must give the officials an explanation, do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Majesty's meaning is .."
"We believe in you, but we can't directly intervene in this matter. Although the General's Estate is extremely tight on the outside, you can only rely on yourself in this matter."
The words had already been very clear. Seeing that she hadn't made any move in the past two days, the Emperor was probably anxious, so he came today to specially point out to her that the imperial guards originally wanted to use her as a cover. They called it house arrest, but in reality, it was just another way to prove her innocence.
She raised her head and looked deeply at Zhao Shiqian.
Zhao Shiqian reached out a hand and touched the mask on her face, wanting to take it off, but he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.
