Seeing her angry appearance, he laughed softly as if he was very happy. "Don't worry. With this grandpa here, your legs won't be crippled!"

After he finished speaking, he stood in front of the bed and extended his hand towards her. "Come, let me bring you over for a meal."

Shen Zhi Qiao frowned. He then noticed that a table of delicious dishes had already been placed on the round table.

However, she really didn't have any appetite at the moment.

His eyes were staring at his legs under the blanket. Was it because he had knelt for the whole night?!

She seemed to be … I almost forgot, her past …

She touched her chest. If this place didn't still hurt, she might have really forgotten.

Holding her hands, she curled up little by little, burying her head in the blanket, saying in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to eat it."

"You will eat!"

She raised her head and looked at him with reddened eyes, "You are who I am, do you think I will eat just because I know how to eat? "You are just a brat who hasn't a single hair on your head, I really don't know where your confidence comes from!"

Stinking brat?!

Good job!

She was the first person who dared to speak to him in such a manner.

A hint of danger flashed through his phoenix eyes. He smiled, but there was no trace of happiness in his eyes. "All those people outside, get the hell in here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhi Qiao saw one person after another walk out from the door. Furthermore, everyone had their heads buried in their chests. Upon entering, all of them kneeled down in a row.

Not long after, the room was filled with people, and there were so many that they had to kneel outside the door.

When had Shen Zhi Qiao ever seen such a battle before? He immediately became stupefied: "You, what are you doing?!"

"As long as you eat obediently, they will naturally get up." He raised his eyebrows and smiled with his thin lips.

"You, you pervert!" Shen Zhiqiao never expected this answer. He felt like he was doing this because he had nothing to do, "What does it have to do with them whether I eat or not?"

Saying that, he turned to the group of people kneeling on the ground and said, "All of you get up, I'm not hungry …"

It was better that she didn't say anything. The moment she spoke, those people immediately kowtowed towards her, scaring her so much that she almost fell down from her bed to help them.

facepalm, aren't they taking her life away like this?!

Shen Zhi Qiao was helpless. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a certain someone staring at her with a smile. His eyes seemed to say, "Just say that you will definitely eat it!"

Closing his eyes, he gritted his teeth, "I'll eat …"

"Alright, let's go down!" As soon as he spoke, everyone retreated to the door as fast as they could.

Shen Zhi Qiao was still feeling dejected, when he suddenly flew up into the air. He lifted up her into his arms and looked at her. His brown eyes were narrow and long, staring at her.

Shen Zhi Qiao glared at him. "You will be punished."

If he had nothing to do, he would just make the other party kneel down and think of him as the emperor?!

He just smiled with a face full of elegance, causing the entire room to become elegant.

Shen Zhiqiao was so angry that he turned his eyes away and cursed in his heart, "Monster!"

When he was done eating, he carried her back to bed and left.

When she left, she left. She was quiet.

Shen pulled the quilt over his head, but his mind was filled with images of the six years and Qi Mu.

As he thought about it, his heart began to ache.

She covered her heart with one hand and told herself again and again that it was over, it was all over.

She no longer had to worry about making him angry, and every day she would pretend to be the virtuous and virtuous lady she was always tired of.

He didn't need to frown because he didn't know what she did. He just couldn't stop thinking about whether she had done something wrong again.

He would no longer have to endure the cold treatment he would give her from time to time.

She thought, "As long as my legs heal, I'll leave Dongling City and never come back!"

As she was thinking, the blanket on her face was suddenly pulled away.

Shen Zhi Qiao was shocked and his eyes widened as he looked over.

His face was cold as he stared at her reddened eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

Suddenly, he bent his body and pulled her into his arms. "Drink the medicine!"

Shen Zhi Qiao was just about to get angry, but after hearing his words, she looked at the other hand holding the bowl. The next moment, she frowned in disgust: "What medicine?"

"Poison!" He snorted lightly and rudely brought the bowl to her lips.

The bowl of medicine was almost completely consumed by him. Only when the soup in the bowl had run out did he let go of her neck and walk out with a cold expression.

Shen Zhi Qiao was lying on the bed, coughing uncontrollably.

A pair of eyes were staring at his back as he left, wanting to tear him apart!

Nan Jue looked at the old man walking out and quickly went up to him, "Master, since he's already awake, can you go back to the palace now?"

"Right." He wrinkled his eyebrows as he replied without stopping.

A look of joy appeared on Nan Jue's face as he immediately followed and asked, "Master, are you and the wife of the house of the Marquis an old friend?"

Actually, he wanted to say, if his purpose was purely to save others, then since the person had woken up, he might as well hand the person over to him so that he could end the matter that his sister had asked of him.

Madam Hou?!

He suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at her sideways. "She's no longer the marquis' wife …"

As for old friends, they could be considered as friends!

"From now on, you will stay here. As soon as the injury on her leg is healed, you will immediately inform me."

Nan Jue was stunned. After all, he was the dignified Lord Yuchi, with a high position, and responsibilities that he couldn't control every day. It wasn't appropriate for him to take care of a woman, right?

He was about to open his mouth and say something so that he could withdraw his orders.

However, they saw that Lou Lan had walked over with Xiu-Er in tow.

As soon as Xi`er entered, she immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "Xi`er greets your majesty."

He frowned. "Get up."

Xiu-Er and Xie En stood up and walked behind Lou Lan once again.

"You're returning to the palace?!"

Lou Lan was dressed in his usual purple robes, but his silver hair was scattered behind his back, leaving only his hair tied back from his ears. His pale lake-colored pupils seemed to be filled with reluctance, but at the same time, it seemed as if there was nothing left.

Looking at his face, although there was a hint of childishness to it, it was unable to stop the king's aura emanating from his body.

He was the emperor of the Eastern Tomb Dynasty, Tuoba Yu!

Tuoba Yu raised an eyebrow and didn't directly answer him. Instead, he glanced at Xi Er, who was standing behind him, "Is she the reason why you left the palace three years ago?"

"No!" Lou Lan answered almost immediately. Realizing that he had lost his composure just now, he pursed his lips and kept quiet.

Her eyes dimmed and her head drooped even lower.

Tuoba Yu didn't linger any further. "Lan Jun. Now that you've left the mountain, are you still willing to stay by my side?"

Lou Lan was momentarily startled. A complicated look flashed across his indifferent eyes but he did not reply immediately.

Seeing his silence, Tuoba Yu sighed and said, "If you were here, we wouldn't have been so careless …"

As long as he opened his mouth, Lou Lan knew that he would not be able to refuse.

It was just like how he had disliked that Shen Zhiqiao earlier. However, he was unable to be ruthless with those words spoken by Tuoba Yu. Thus, he had people prepare a table of food that he loved.

Lou Lan pursed his lips bitterly. "Since you've already said so, what reason do I have not to leave?!"

Tuoba Yu smirked, his eyes brimming with happiness after he had succeeded.

Any king would have a strong desire for someone with both talent and ability.

Furthermore, he knew Lou Lan's strength and identity better than anyone else.

If he were to return to his side, the Eastern Tomb Dynasty would definitely be like a tiger with wings.

If he let Tuoba Sen or anyone else with ulterior motives towards the Eastern Tomb Dynasty make use of him, he would definitely be his strongest opponent at that time.

He did not deny that he had his own selfish motives.

"You can stay here for now. I need you to treat my leg injury every day. As for South Jue … " As Tuoba Yu spoke, he tilted his head to look at Nan Jue.

"Nan Jue is willing to follow the Emperor back to the palace." Nan Jue immediately replied.

Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go. Nine is probably getting impatient waiting in the palace."

With that, he took the lead and walked away.

The corner of Nan Jue's mouth twitched. Following up was more than just impatience; he was just missing the point of not letting it go!

Lou Lan watched them leave with narrowed eyes. He lowered his eyes, wondering if the promise this time was the right one or the wrong one.
