Zhou Leping grabbed Zhao Shiqian's hand and turned his face away, "It's getting late, your majesty should return to the palace earlier."
This time, Zhao Shiqian did not give up so easily. He extended his other hand, "We want to see you."
"This subject's current appearance .. I'm afraid it will scare the emperor. "
"If Zhao Deng can look at us, he can't? I am the emperor, and I have seen nothing. I am not a little girl, so I have to be afraid when I see her. "
Zhou Leping thought back to the time she went to the palace after she had recovered from her injuries in the capital, and the look in Zhao Shiqian's eyes when he looked at her with disbelief, before slowly accepting the reality, and then to the disappointment, then to indifference, and then to disgust. She had personally witnessed his emotions progressing layer by layer, and her heart had also slowly cooled down.
If Zhao Deng had used that kind of gaze on her, she would not be in so much pain, because Zhao Deng had never treated her as a normal girl. Their relationship from the start was like a brother, there was no taboo between them, and they would not care about appearances.
Zhu Guanliang was even more unconcerned, he was a doctor, there was nothing between them, even if he hated her, she did not care, she would not care about what Zhu Guanliang thought of her.
But Zhao Shiqian was different, she was afraid that if she saw his gaze again, it would be as painful as cutting a knife into her heart.
"This subject's face is truly .. "It's an eyesore. It's better for the emperor not to look at it."
Zhao Shiqian was very persistent this time, he looked very serious, and would have to watch.
No matter how much her face changed, her bones were still the same, her nose, eyes, and mouth were still the same. He had long forgotten what her face looked like when she first returned, and now, he just wanted to see, the more Zhou Leping resisted, the more he would persevere.
"Your Majesty .." Zhou Leping said in a rather helpless tone, "It's really getting late."
If he really wanted to make a move, Zhao Shiqian was definitely not Zhou Leping's opponent, but he saw that it would be difficult for Zhou Leping to make a move against him, so his actions became more presumptuous, so he simply grabbed her two hands and pressed them on the table, using his other hand to remove her mask.
Zhou Leping did not dare to resist, she was afraid of hurting Zhao Shiqian, but at the same time, it was difficult for her, so she used her tiptoes to grab a rock, wanting to knock down the lantern.
She held her breath and felt the rope being held behind her head.
"Your majesty."
At this critical moment, Zhu Guanliang had gone back and returned. He cupped his hands in a salute towards the pavilion, called out "Your Majesty" but his eyes were looking at Zhou Leping.
"General, it's wrong to take the medicine at the wrong time, but it's not good to miss the medicinal effects."
Zhou Leping stood up and easily struggled free, "Ah, yes. If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten. Your majesty, look .. Do you want this official to send you back? "
Originally, he could have seen it, but because of Zhu Guanliang's life being broken, Zhao Shiqian was extremely unhappy, but he was not in a good mood to lose his temper. With a dark expression and with his hands behind his back, he turned around and glared at Zhu Guanliang.
"There's no need. You should rest up as soon as possible. This Emperor will be leaving now."
Zhou Leping heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his fists, and said, "Your majesty, take care."
Zhao Shiqian walked away, leaning on a pillar with his arms crossed, his eyes full of ridicule: "You can't get out of this?"
"Do you want to die? Didn't he leave already? Who let you come back? " Zhou Leping's heart was still in her throat, and was still on the verge of collapsing.
Zhu Guanliang said, "Come and remind the general to go get the medicine."
"I'm not sick, what medicine can I use?"
"You haven't slept for two days, aren't you sick?"
Zhou Leping scratched his head, "How do you know that I haven't slept for two days?"
"Come with me to get the medicine." He changed the subject. "Eat well and sleep well before you have the energy to deal with the rest."
Zhou Leping followed behind Zhu Guanliang to get the medicine. From start to end, there was a medicinal fragrance in his room, which was different from the bad smell of the medicine, it was just a light fragrance, and a very nice smell. Originally, her head was tight on a thread, and her head was aching, but after smelling this smell, it seemed like her headache had subsided quite a bit.
Zhu Guanliang took out a pill and gave it to her, then poured a cup of water for her to take. After eating the medicine, he wiped his mouth and placed the cup down, about to leave.
Zhu Guanliang saw her to the door, and when he saw that she was about to fall, he reached out and caught her.
"What medicine is this?" Why is the medicinal strength coming in so quickly? "
"It's not that the medicine is too fast, it's because you haven't slept for two days and are too tired." He held her tighter. "I'll take you back."
Before Zhou Leping could finish nodding, he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and actually fell asleep.
Zhu Guanliang carried her across his arms and carried her back to his room. He placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket before taking off the mask on her face.
The first time he saw her, his face had surprised him. At that time, he had wondered how anyone could be so ugly, but perhaps he was already used to seeing her face. Even though it was still ugly, he could already see her face like an ordinary person.
Previously, the Jade Face Ointment didn't seem to be of much use, and it seemed like Gu Fang wasn't all reliable either. After all, he wasn't a professional doctor, so he would have to ask his master in the future.
"Lin Jing slandered General Chu and Chu Yu for colluding .." He looked at her sleeping face quietly, as if he was talking to himself. "Has the general thought of a way to deal with this?"
Zhou Leping who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed suddenly opened his mouth, as if he was sleep talking in his sleep, "I didn't collude with outsiders, Lin Jing slandering me with this, it's completely unreasonable."
"Recently, there have been rumours that the reason why the general has won the battle is purely because he has gained the benefit of the freshmen and that is why he has allowed the general to return victoriously. In fact, he is thinking of joining forces with the general to obtain the State Of Zhao."
"Bullshit!" In her dreams, she was just as irritable, "This battle was won with a single slash from your father. Your father has been learning martial arts from my father since childhood. I recite every word like 'Sun's Martial Arts' or 'War Theory's 12' backwards!"
Zhu Guanliang patiently guided them, "If it was others who do not know of the general's capabilities, if it was General Zhou Xuan, there would definitely not be so many people in the imperial court who would doubt him, but if it was any other general, becoming a Chief General at such a young age, forget about girls, not many men would have such accomplishments, it is truly unbelievable."
She curled her lower lip, "My Zhou Family is a family of generals, my family has been the backbone of the Imperial Court since my great-grandfather's generation. As a country's great general, I have my own set of military tactics for the army.
Zhu Guanliang pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear, "Zhou Clan's military strategy?"
Zhou Leping suddenly laughed, then stiffened his face and no longer made a sound.
