The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

Empress' Boudoir

It took about a quarter of an hour for Anton Jun to tell Li Zhaozhao everything that happened from Raojiang to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave and the final retreat.

But he didn't mention his elder brother-in-law. He wanted to give Zhaozhao a surprise when his elder brother-in-law came.

Li Zhaozhao felt a little depressed after hearing this. He leaned in his arms and remained silent for a long time before he said weakly:

"You did so many dangerous things, and I didn't even know..."

Anton-kun didn't think there was anything wrong, but he thought he could tease her, so he said with a sly smile:

"If you feel guilty, just call me old man."

(Historically, Li Maozhen and Li Zhaozhao were from Boye, Shenzhou, which is now Hebei Province, but Fengxiang is in Guanzhong. I use the husband and wife name in Guanzhong.)

Sure enough, Li Zhaozhao blushed all the way to the back of her ears after hearing this, and said coyly: "It's... it's too early~"

"Oh, forget it, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's really too early. After all, I'm just too greedy. I'm here to apologize to you. Just pretend that you never said anything."

Anton-kun showed a painful expression, as if he was abandoned, and pretended to be heartbroken while drinking tea.

Li Zhaozhao was immediately panicked when she saw him like this, and quickly said timidly, "Don't be angry, I'll tell you what I want to say."

Anton-kun's expression changed instantly after hearing this, and he said with a sly smile and expectation:

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Li Zhaozhao uttered two words shyly:

"Old... old man~"

"Mua, I love you so much, bitch!"

Anton Jun stood up instantly, kissed her on the cheek and hugged her tightly.

Li Zhaozhao has been serving as the King of Qi conscientiously for thirteen years. He has never experienced such romantic affairs and has no idea how to deal with such a situation. Now he just wants to escape from this place.

I saw her body trembling slightly, her pretty face flushed with heat, and she said in panic:

"Let me go, I have to go review the memorials."

"Wife, over the years you have taken care of Qi State, Huanyinfang, the people, and the loyalty in your heart, but you have never taken care of yourself, so I will take care of you from now on! But at the same time, you also have to learn to take care of yourself, okay?"

Hearing this, Anton Jun not only did not loosen up but tightened his grip instead. His gentle yet firm voice gently floated into her ears. Li Zhaozhao's body also gave up struggling and softened, letting out a crisp mosquito-like moan.

"Ok!"

After a long while, Anton Jun spoke again, "Wife, can we take a day off today? We are usually so tired."

"But I still have to read the memorials. I can't be a tyrant."

Back to this, Li Zhaozhao decisively rejected Anton Jun's proposal and immediately said seriously.

"Oh, that's right, this is the empress I like."

"Well, let Xuan Jingtian read the memorial first. She already has some experience anyway."

Although he thought so in his heart, Anton Jun still advised her. At this moment, he felt like a disaster that seduced the wise king.

"No, how can this be done?"

Then, as if he had thought of a good idea, he suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes, looking at Anton-Jun tenderly, and said with a sweet breath:

"How about you go for me once?"

"I don't want to!" Anton Jun shook his head and refused without hesitation. Whoever wants to do that kind of work can do it. He won't do it anyway. If anyone wants him to do it, it should be his brother-in-law who does it.

"Good old man, you just told me to take a break, just once, just once!"

"is it okay?"

Perhaps it was the first time that she opened her heart in all these years. Li Zhaozhao changed her usual behavior and became so weak that it was unbelievable.

She held Anton-kun's arm, shook him while acting coquettishly, and even kissed him on the cheek.

Anton Jun's blood immediately boiled, his eyes sparkled, two streams of hot breath came out of his nostrils, and he felt like he couldn't take it anymore.

Oh my god, which cadre can withstand such a test?

"Go! You must go! Leave it to your husband!"

Anton Jun agreed on a whim, thinking it was just a one-time acting role, no big deal, if it really didn't work out he could just ask Xuan Jingtian to do the hard labor.

"Old men are the best!"

After that, the two kissed and hugged each other for a long time. Li Zhaozhao found that he still had no intention of getting up.

She immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at him, frowning and said, "Why aren't you going yet? Are you lying?"

Anton Jun looked into her eyes, feeling guilty. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. In the end, he could only say one sentence.

"Well, I'll go first."

Just as he was about to get up, Li Zhaozhao grabbed his wrist, leaned on his back, and said softly:

"I know what you're thinking. She kept it a secret from everyone for so long, and endured everything alone, but I was the one who knew nothing.

So you must not let her down!

Of course, you can never let me down!!!"

Anton Jun was stunned. He obviously didn't expect her to compromise, because in fact her status and personality did not allow her to do so.

But she actually made such a big concession for me, and I was immediately moved and said, "Wife, you are so kind!"

Although Li Zhaozhao was unwilling to share himself with others, he also didn't want to see him making things difficult for himself. Besides, Miao Chengtian really had nothing to say to him.

Besides, with her status, it is impossible for her to always be with Anton Jun, so this can be regarded as her way of compensating Anton Jun.

However, both of them underestimated how big a place they occupied in each other's hearts, and how deep the other's feelings for them were.

"However, it can only be her. Although I acquiesce to the two of you, you can't go too far in front of me in the future..."

Coming back to this, her tone softened again.

Anton Jun knew that she had already made the biggest concession, so naturally he would not have any objections.

"Well! Absolutely not!"

So he responded heavily and bit her mouth again.

Then he walked towards the study. Now that everything was finally resolved, he felt a lot lighter and his steps quickened.

Li Zhaozhao just watched Antonjun leave, her heart filled with sweetness.

夜晚

Anton Jun sat beside his desk with lifeless eyes, holding his forehead. Looking at the endless memorials gave him a headache and he said weakly.

“How can I possibly finish watching this…”

At first, I felt sorry for my wife, who had to face these boring things every day.

Then he regretted that he had been too lenient when he beat his brother-in-law in Twelve Caves. Why was he so soft-hearted at that time?

At this time, Li Zhaozhao came over with a midnight snack. Because it was almost time to rest at night, she did not tie her hair up. Her long black hair was draped behind her, reaching her waist, and she was wearing a white high-waisted skirt.

Her face is like a lotus, her eyebrows are like willows, her red eyes are more charming than peach blossoms and are very captivating. Her skin is as white as snow. Although she is not wearing any makeup, one cannot take one's eyes away from her.

When Anton saw her bringing a midnight snack, he immediately smiled, walked over the desk, took the snack from her hand and put it on the table.

"Wife, you are so kind. You know I am hungry."

Li Zhaozhao took the initiative to step forward and hugged him, breathing sweetly and saying:

"Thank you for your hard work, old man. Take a rest first. I specially asked the kitchen to make this. I wonder if it suits your taste."

"I like anything you bring."

After hugging each other for a while, Anton-kun sat down to eat.

Looking at Anton-jun wolfing down the food, Li Zhaozhao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Puchi... Slow down, no one is competing with you~"

After looking at him for a long time with a smile in his eyes, Li Zhaozhao finally remembered the important matter.

"Old man, in your letter you mentioned 'when Guanghan arrives in Qi, you can cooperate with him privately'.

That means you have long expected such a person to exist, and that he will definitely unify Tangut and Tubo. Do you know him?"

When Li Zhaozhao first saw the letter, he felt a little confused and wondered who this Guanghan was.

A year ago, news came from the Western Regions that a man unified that area with lightning speed, and his name was Guanghan.

Li Zhaozhao was shocked at the time, her pretty face full of disbelief. She didn't expect that Anton Jun actually had a plan in the Western Regions, and he had started planning it two years ago.

Add to that all the things from Qi country, and after a series of implementations, what kind of person can accomplish such a thing?

"Yes, he is the person I met in the Twelve Caves of Raojiang. I wanted to wait until he was safe before returning to Qi Country. Now I think the time is about right."

Li Zhaozhao noticed the change in An Dongjun's words, and an idea flashed through his mind. He hesitated for a moment, hugged An Dongjun's arm, and pouted:

"Old man, tell me honestly, is he that person?"

Anton was stunned when he heard this, and immediately a cold sweat broke out on his back. He thought to himself: "No way, you can guess this? !"

But he remained calm and asked with a guilty conscience: "Ah? Why do you ask that?"

"You said in your letter that you wanted to cooperate, but just now you said you were coming back. Hurry up and tell me, don't lie to me!"

Looking at Li Zhaozhao's expectant eyes, he felt a sense of guilt spreading in his heart, but he continued to talk nonsense:

"I... I haven't heard much about my brother-in-law. After all, you know... right... I didn't stay in the Twelve Caves for a long time, and I went into seclusion soon after, so..."

Hearing this, Li Zhaozhao showed a look of joy, but then his expression gradually twisted, he clenched his teeth, and said angrily:

"I haven't even said who he is yet, how do you know I'm talking about Brother Wang?"

Danger! Damn it, it’s over!

Anton Jun only felt that there was a big blood-red word "danger" on his head. He knew that the matter had been exposed. He quickly held her in his arms and explained with a stiff face:

"Wife, I think you and I are in sync."

Li Zhaozhao ignored his sophistry, broke free angrily, rolled his eyes at him, picked up the midnight snack and walked out the door, threatening:

"Who is your wife? We have just started. You are a big liar with a slick tongue. From now on, you are not allowed to touch me. I punish you to reflect on yourself here. You are not allowed to enter my room until you finish reading the memorial."

After taking a few steps, he hesitated for a moment and put the midnight snack back.

"Hey, wife, I knew you wouldn't..."

Seeing this, Anton Jun thought he had a chance, but before he could finish his words, Li Zhaozhao ruthlessly retorted.

"Eat well and continue later!"

Anton-jun felt so miserable that he could not even cry. In the end, he could only finish his meal alone and then went back to work silently.

Li Zhaozhao revealed a sly smile after he went out. Based on what An Dongjun said just now, Li Zhaozhao roughly guessed that the man was the king's brother, and he also knew that Shuiyun Pavilion should have been built by An Dongjun for him.

You said angry?

That was impossible. She was too late to be happy. After all, she knew that Anton Jun and Brother Wang might want to give her a surprise.

It's just that this lie was so bad that it was exposed immediately.

Therefore, my heart felt extremely sweet, and my mood couldn't help but improve. Even my steps became much lighter, and I was muttering to myself.

"Shuiyun Pavilion! Hehe, I can relax for a few days again!"
