Chapter 256
Ling Cheng was taken away, and she didn't want to wait too long, so she simply pretended to be dizzy.

"My lady, my lady!"

Feeling her body go limp, Qing Zhi hurriedly caught her.

The master and the servant have cooperated countless times, their acting skills are so good that Qingzhi knows whether she is real or just pretending without making eye contact.

Emperor Zhao glanced at Concubine Shu, but he didn't care, "Send Concubine Shu back, so I can serve you well."

There is still a nameless anger accumulated in his heart, how can he care about her?

Upon hearing this, Qing Zhi hurriedly summoned the guards and left in a hurry with Concubine Shu.

One party left, but the other party did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

Emperor Zhao raised his hand and pressed the center of his brows, his voice softened a lot, slightly tired, "Zhao Aiqing."

Zhao Chang stood up from the side and saluted him respectfully, "The minister is here."

The tone was calm, without any ups and downs.

He watched it for so long, heard so much, and with years of official experience, he didn't think it was accidental.

How could Zhao Leqi, a girl, go to such a remote place at night?

If she didn't come here on her own initiative, then she was taken captive.

But who would take away an insignificant person...

Before Zhao Chang could figure it out, Emperor Zhao's voice fell from above his head.

"This matter is the Seventh Prince's fault. It's because I and Concubine Shu didn't discipline him well and made Miss Zhao feel wronged. Don't worry, Ai Qing, I will handle it properly, and I won't let you lose face."

Emperor Zhao patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "You can tell me what you want."

Now that this is all said, Emperor Zhao obviously has an idea in his mind, so naturally Zhao Chang will not cause more trouble.

He cupped his hands, his gray beard trembled when he spoke, and his voice was weak, "Your Majesty, it's up to the Emperor to decide."

"boom--"

A thunderbolt pierced the sky, with purple in the white, clearly illuminating the expressions of everyone in the yard, with nowhere to hide.

Bean-sized raindrops came crashing down, hitting the roof and the ground heavily... Everyone hurriedly embraced Emperor Zhao and went to the porch to shelter from the rain.

The slight rotten smell in the air has long since dissipated, and this rain seems to be able to wash away the filth of the whole night.

The wives and ladies left in twos and threes, Ling Yan tugged at Su Yin's sleeve, "Don't look, go back."

He put her under the umbrella and saw her squinting slightly, "Sleepy?"

"A bit."

Su Yin leaned against Ling Yan to prevent the rain from splashing on her body.

Her action caused Ling Yan to chuckle, and moved the umbrella, "Rest first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

"Ah."

Su Yin is not a kind person in the first place, as long as the person she cares about is fine, she doesn't want to care about others, and she can't care.

After everyone in the courtyard left, Zhao Chang let Zhao Leqi's maid, Xiang Chun, into the house, dressed her up, and brought her back to the courtyard where the Zhao family stayed.

Hearing the faint sobs in the room, Zhao Chang closed his eyes tiredly, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

The loose eyelids are full of fine lines, which are the traces of the years and the accumulation of experience.

He never believed in coincidences, there must be someone behind tonight's events, maybe even more than one.

……

When Xiang Toon entered, she thought that Zhao Leqi had already burst into tears, but to her surprise, apart from the slightly red eyes, Zhao Leqi's face didn't show much sadness.

He even put on his clothes by himself.

Her voice was hoarse, but her tone was not warm, she held Xiang Toon's hand, trembling with her thighs, "Let's go."
