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

夜晚

Zhaojunyuan

Li Zhaozhao sat in front of her dressing table, holding the jade bracelet that Yang Shuzi had given her today, feeling mixed emotions. Although the quality of the bracelet was not particularly good, it was given by her father-in-law, so it had a completely different meaning.

Those scarlet eyes were still sparkling with excitement, as if she had not yet recovered from what happened today.

It was not until she felt someone hugging her from behind that she looked away from the bracelet and looked at Anton Jun in the mirror.

Even though so much time has passed and they are already an old couple, she still acts like an naive little girl and seems a little at a loss.

Anton Jun gently held Li Zhaozhao's wrist, trying to take off the jade bracelet she was holding tightly in her hand, but when he suddenly grabbed her wrist, she held it even tighter.

Anton Jun laughed in silence, resting his head on her shoulder and pressing their cheeks against each other.

"What's wrong? The Queen of Huanyinfang hasn't recovered after so long?"

At this point, Li Zhaozhao pinched his belly fiercely in shame and anger, and said coquettishly:

"How dare you say that!"

But Anton-jun was not as humorous as last time, nor was he as lively as before. He just held her quietly, letting her pinch him without saying a word, waiting for her emotions to calm down.

"Sorry……"

……

A few hours ago

After hearing the news, Li Zhaozhao was not as calm as he appeared, but was instantly filled with turmoil in his heart.

Her heart beat faster, her palms began to sweat, and a feeling of helplessness and anxiety quickly took over her mind.

And Anton Jun also quickly realized this and wanted to wait a little longer, but Li Zhaozhao interrupted him. After all, that was not against the rules.

Then, while he went out to meet Yang Shuzi, Li Zhaozhao temporarily tidied up her clothes. Although Anton Jun told her that she was already perfect, she still thought it would be better to do so.

She had tried her best to show her best side to Yang Shuzi, but even so, her heart was still a mess.

She clenched her hands into a ball, trying hard to curb her natural aura of superiority, and tried to maintain basic dignity and composure in front of her future father-in-law.

After that, their meeting and conversation went much better than she had expected. It was not as stiff and awkward as she had imagined. Yang Shuzi was very easy to talk to, and she successfully received a gift from her father-in-law from him.

……

Today was her first time staying in Zhaojun Courtyard, and her lifelong affairs with Anton Jun could be said to have been completely settled, so she showed a little nervousness just now.

Li Zhaozhao initially thought she had misheard, but when she noticed that Anton Jun didn't react after being pinched by her, she became scared.

After all, I did use some force this time, so I gently held his hand and said worriedly:

"What's the matter, old man?"

"Wife, did I scare you?"

A look of apology flashed across his face. He held her hand instead and tried to force a smile. His tone was gentle and a little hurried.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think it through. Although I wrote a letter saying that Master would come to Fengxiang, it was still a bit abrupt to suddenly bring my Master to Prince Qi's Mansion like today. I won't do it again in the future. Really, in the future..."

Li Zhaozhao covered his mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak, and said angrily:

"Don't say that anymore. I'm the Queen of Huanyinfang, and I'm still the King of Qi. I'm not as delicate as you think.

After all, you've already told me and given me enough time.

So, this is not your fault, don’t take it all on yourself.”

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little heavy. Seeing him remain silent, she finally understood what was wrong with him during this period of time. She put down the jade bracelet, turned around, hugged him, and buried herself in his arms.

"Old man, there is something wrong with your mind. You always say that I am afraid, that I am afraid of feeling sad and disrespected in your presence.

But in fact, it is you who is really afraid. You are afraid that what you do will make me sad and disrespected, so you are cautious.

I know you were a strong person, but since that day, subtle changes have taken place in your heart, becoming gentler.

When facing me, you began to disguise yourself, began to hide your emotions, began to learn to compromise little by little, your smile began to become forced, and you became unlike yourself. "

After hearing her words, Anton Jun's mind went blank, as if all his thoughts were wiped out. He suddenly felt panicked and confused, his body began to tremble, and he began to lose strength unconsciously.

Is this really the case…?

Then, he felt a warmth, moisture and a hint of sweetness coming from his lips, and a slender hand covered his cheek, while he also placed his hand on that beautiful face.

“I know you’re afraid of losing me, but I want you to understand one thing.

Looking at someone's face, trying to please someone, always catering to the other person, and having to do so much to maintain the relationship, that is not love.

You and I are one as husband and wife, sharing weal and woe. I accept your kindness to me, so you also have to accept mine.

Just like you once said, from now on, while you take care of me, I also have to learn to take care of myself.

But have you noticed that our situation is now completely reversed?

I don't want to see, and I don't want to see, my old man keeping everything to himself and being very cautious when interacting with me, even to the point of being humble.

My old man is the best man in the world. He never needs to compromise or willingly sacrifice himself for me! Just like he does to me! "

A bright smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth. Her words were very gentle, but they completely shattered the fragile stubbornness in Anton Jun's heart.

His eyes gradually became clear, focusing on the blurry person in front of him, and he responded with a heavy trembling voice.

"……Um"

The wet feeling on her hand made her feel a sharp pain in her heart, and the empress pulled him into a hug.

"Old man, I'm here, always here!"

"Ok!"

Because it is very important, because I don't want to lose her, so I start to hide it, start to pretend, start to find ways to do everything I can for her, keep giving, giving, and giving, even to the point of losing myself for it.

But this is wrong, she knows it, so today happened, and now he knows it too.

At this moment, both of them had never felt so peaceful, crying, open, and hugging each other as they did now. Everything about them made them feel so relaxed and happy.

The two of them quietly felt the rhythm of each other's hearts. At this moment, it seemed to transcend the flow of time, as if it was clamoring to last forever and forever!

-

After a few days, the empress handled official business in the study of Prince Qi's mansion as usual. Recently, Anton Jun was in poor condition, so she did not let him work with her.

At noon, when Anton Jun brought lunch and the two of them sat together to eat, Li Zhaozhao brought up what happened last time again.

"Old man, the news about Li Xingyun has reached Fengxiang. I'm sure it will spread all over the world soon. So when do you want to leave for Taiyuan?" (Fengxiang is the closest to Cangbing Valley)

Li Zhaozhao already had a plan in mind. It would take a few days for the news to spread throughout the world, so she wanted to go five days later. However, she still had to discuss the specific time with Anton Jun.

"How about tomorrow? I'll take you out to play for a few days along the way?"

"Well...but I still have things to do in Qi Country. How about this, I will speed up from now on. Taking into account the journey along the way, I will try to finish it in three days!"

Li Zhaozhao frowned slightly. Although she also wanted to accompany Anton Jun, she really had no choice but to think of this solution.

Anton pondered for a while, and then an idea flashed through his mind.

"Then let me accompany you. Let's take care of the important things first, and then let Tong'er and the others take care of the rest until we come back. How about that?"

"But you..."

Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Anton Jun quickly comforted her:

"I'm fine now, and I'll have someone arrange the itinerary so that we can all focus on handling government affairs and save as much time as possible. The round trip time can be limited to ten days, or at most twenty days, okay?"

Seeing the anticipation that was about to overflow in Anton Jun's eyes, Li Zhaozhao also thought that ever since he had been with her, he always indulged her in everything and always put her feelings first, but she had never been able to spend enough time with him.

And after what happened a few days ago, she wanted to take Anton-jun out to relax even more. There happened to be not much government affairs to do at the moment, so she agreed.

"Yeah, great! I'll start now!"

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements too!"

Anton-jun was overjoyed and hurried down to catch... Pah, he asked Xuan Jingtian to help him make a plan.

(Before, due to my fault, there was not much description of the relationship between the empress and the protagonist, which made some parts a bit abrupt.

Let's talk briefly about character setting here. Fan fiction is not as good as original creation. The personality traits of each character have been fixed in the anime, and fan fiction cannot change too much.

Otherwise it would be disrespectful to the character and to one's own book. It would be okay to change some supporting roles, but it would be absolutely unacceptable to change the main roles. Of course, it is another matter to arrange for a character to change his personality in advance.

In short, it's about this balance, which is difficult to control. The author's writing skills are not that good, so there is really no way. This is also the reason why I started to patch them after more than 50 chapters.

Having said that, the Empress is a heroine in the original work. It can be written in the beginning that her personality has changed a little because of something, but in the end she still has to return to the character of the anime.

I have previously written about the empress showing a "cowardly" and "compromising" side in front of Anton-kun, but even if there is a period of time when she becomes indecisive because she likes someone, she will quickly recover and consider the overall situation, because she is that kind of person.

In the beginning of their relationship, Li Zhaozhao was the humble one, followed by Anton Jun, but after that, they became completely balanced.

But my ideas and writing skills can only go so far.

Even though not many people read it, it’s my first book, so I still want to take it seriously.)
