During the exchange of tea, Zhuang Li intentionally looked at the Emperor's face. Just now, when she told him to send the old nanny out, he wore a look of contempt and impatience, as though she could not see any more emotions. Although Zhuang Li was also calm and relaxed, she was still able to tell that something was off.

After all, she had served him for too long. His habits and emotions were reflected in her eyes. How could she hide them?

One of them raised his eyebrows and the other pursed his lips, they were all seen by Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li changed the cold tea leaves. She had not drunk that cup of tea at all, and when she turned around, she saw Eunuch Li standing beside him with her brows knitted tightly. They looked at each other and understood each other.

Other than those old nanny s, Eunuch Li was definitely one of those who knew the truth. However, Zhuang Li was able to think that Eunuch Li would not even say half a word.

Just from the spirit of the Eunuch Li … He might not even be willing to say it even if it was on his neck …

Although the Emperor was flipping through the paper in front of him, he was slightly frowning. Presumably, there were also some ripples of emotion within his heart. After Zhuang Li finished changing her tea, she walked to the door. The Eunuch Li suddenly called out to him.

"Imperial Noble Lady Ya, after you finish your work, come to the study room and tidy up your books."

"Yes." Zhuang Li replied. Although there were many reports and scrolls, when she thought about it, she had already tidied them up by the eunuchs in the study when she sent them over to Imperial Study, and it was not too chaotic. After a few tries, Zhuang Li had already understood the rules, and there was no need to organize the majority of them.

However, this was good too, the hot and stuffy tea room made it hard for people to breathe. In the study room, there were a few pots of ice cubes, and they had to be replaced every night. Although they could not compare to Zhuang Li who had experienced air conditioning, it was already considered cool and refreshing.

After changing the tea once more, he instructed Qing You to look at the stove when he was free, he then stood up and went to arrange his Imperial Study.

Today, no one came to the study room. Other than the old nanny in the Dew Palace who came to cause trouble, the rest of the time was also quiet. Zhuang Li was happy to be at peace, and did not have to give them any time to constantly change their cups of tea.

The sun had already set. The sun had roasted them for a whole day, making them feel dizzy and dizzy. It seemed as if the ground was about to be roasted by the sun. There was a rare breeze, but it carried a hint of heat along with a hint of the sap of the plants that had been baked dry by the sun. This did not make Zhuang Li feel impatient, but instead, calmed down all of a sudden. It didn't take much time to organize the books, and she didn't even need to change her tea. She propped her head up and looked at the person sitting in the study.

That person's face was as fair as jade. When they first met, he was still a handsome youth with profound eyes and an extraordinary temperament. Zhuang Li had always known that he was an ambitious and shrewd person, otherwise he would not have gone to the West Cold alone. He had spent so much effort just so one day, that she could sit on this dragon throne?

Zhuang Li naturally knew of its desire for power. Since ancient times, there had not been anyone who had been able to resist its temptation.

Zhuang Li couldn't see through her, but she felt that she had actually understood Wang Su. When Wang Su was young, he did not have any wariness or scheming when facing such a small Zhuang Li, and did not have any armor or scruples before.

Even though she knew that the Wang Su she was facing right now was different from the person she met back then, she believed that there was still some sort of connection between them.

That was why she waited on him at the Imperial Study without being arrogant or impatient.

Although she was not as beautiful as Prince Bi, she still carried a rare handsomeness and tenacity. Even though she was cold like ice, sometimes she still acted like a child.

When she mentioned the West Cold, Zhuang Li had thought about many of his endings, and got caught? Or back to the Great Phoenix? She had never thought that there would be such an opportunity to get so close to this person.

He had also memorized every single one of his expressions and frowns in his heart. Let her feel cherished...

Wang Su raised his head and coincidentally met Zhuang Li's gaze. Although Zhuang Li felt awkward, she did not have the time to lower his head. Her heart skipped a beat. If Eunuch Li knew about this, she would probably blame me for offending Sacred Yan.

She hurriedly stood up. It was about time to change the tea for the emperor … No matter what, it was more important to find an excuse to escape the Imperial Study first …

Not knowing why, but because she was looking straight into Wang Su's eyes, she felt her heart racing. She almost picked up the wrong tea leaves, and while she was washing the tea leaves, she was almost burnt to ashes by the iron stove. Finally, after much difficulty, he finished preparing the tea. Suddenly, he became timid and didn't dare to bring the tea into the Imperial Study …

When sshe finally walked into the Imperial Study, it seemed that the atmosphere was no different from before. Only then did Zhuang Li heave a sigh of relief. However, when she brought the teacup over to the emperor's side, her heart unexpectedly began to tense up again.

She put down the tea tray, put away the cold tea, and then placed the new tea on the table.

"What are you afraid of?"

The Emperor's sudden words caused Zhuang Li's heart to tremble. Her hand trembled, and a fresh cup of tea spilled out. Although it was not very hot in her shock, Zhuang Li still felt a sharp pain in her palm. She quickly clenched her hands into fists and hid them.

"The Emperor is punishing you!"

She lowered her head, not daring to raise it. After a long moment of silence, she slowly raised her head. Wang Su stood right in front of her, looking at her from a short distance away, as if he was looking at her with a somewhat probing gaze. Zhuang Li's heart became even more nervous. If it wasn't for him not being able to move a single step, he really wanted to turn towards that crevice.

"I don't want to punish you." As he spoke, he seemed to move closer to Zhuang Li, making Zhuang Li able to see him more clearly.

"Why should I punish you?"

From the day Zhuang Li entered the Imperial Study, when did he punish her? She really didn't know what this woman was thinking …

"I, then I'll go get some tea." It was as if she had been undone from her spell. She hurriedly turned around to busy herself, but did not expect to be held back by the people behind her.

"Forget it."

Wang Su said softly and pulled Zhuang Li's arm. However, this action made Zhuang Li feel as if she had been cast with an incantation.

"Am I that scared? Or are you too easily frightened? Do you think I can eat people? I will eat you? "

He himself knew that the reason why the people in the imperial court were afraid of him and afraid of him was not because they were afraid that he would kill them. It was because they were afraid that he would have the power to kill them … But he had never killed an innocent …

Zhuang Li muttered in her heart, You're the emperor, I'm even afraid of Eunuch Li … What about you? And she also felt that there was another reason …

He seemed to let out a small sigh, "If you're afraid, then forget it. I don't blame you. Sometimes, even I am afraid."

This allowed Zhuang Li to calm down as she turned around and looked at the emperor. Although she was still a little afraid in her heart, she still mustered her courage and blurted out these words for no reason …

"Actually, I'm not too afraid …"

"Oh?" The Emperor looked at her with a funny expression, as if he was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Zhuang Li flipped through the pages in her mind, looking for something to talk about.

"The Emperor is young and only uses West Cold in the face of danger. He's brave, why would he be afraid?"

"Oh? How do you know? "

Hearing that, Zhuang Li almost wanted to pull her head off. [What kind of pot is this?] Why was it that after staying in the palace for so long, she was still living longer and longer … In a hurry, she tried to defend herself

"I heard it from the palace …"

"Does anyone in the Imperial Study know about what happened seven or eight years ago?"

Zhuang Li's mind buzzed again. Since the day that the Emperor of the Eunuch had ascended the throne, he had given this eunuch of the Imperial Study a blow, how would he know …

"There are more in the other palaces, some old nanny s always know about it … "Wherever the emperor's wise deeds have been spread …"

Zhuang Li stiffly made up a lie she couldn't believe as she looked at Wang Su with a guilty conscience …

"A person like the Emperor is praised as fearless even in West Cold …"

As she spoke, she laughed, wondering if the emperor would believe her words …

"West Cold?" Wang Su seemed to have sunk into deep thought.

"Do you know of the secret passageway in the West Cold?"

"Of course!" To be able to change the topic was naturally an extremely good thing for Zhuang Li. hasten to chime

"The beginning of the Moon Passage's secret passageway in the West Cold may have been deserted and desolate, but if one's heart is calm, it would be a unique sight to behold!"

"You walked past it as well?"

Zhuang Li could only mutter in her heart, of course I've passed by … And with you... And then she opened her mouth and said …

"On the way back, follow General Li and Master Ling Que. The desert was lonely. Lord Ling Que was still dancing by the bonfire. That scenery is exceptionally beautiful now that I think about it. "

The journey back to the Great Phoenix was filled with anxiety, and he was wholeheartedly seeking death. He did not know that the person guarding outside the car was his little brother, Li Liangxiao, who he pitied so much. In the capital, the person waiting was the Wang Su that he could not forget.

These fortuitous encounters, if they couldn't be called good fortune, then they could only be called fate.

She had laughed happily in West Cold, despaired in the desert, perturbed outside the Heart Nurturing Palace, and felt bored in the Plum Court, but there would actually come a day when outside the Imperial Study, there was a scorching summer evening, but in the study, there was a burst of coolness from the melting of ice cubes. The hospital had opened a few herbs used to relieve the heat, soaked in water, and used it to scrub the floors of the Imperial Study.

She looked at Wang Su, just like the youth she met back then. He didn't talk much, and every word he said would be like a venomous tongue, cold and noble. It was as if one could freeze a person into ice in the hottest of summers. But beneath his face was a youth that was filled with desire and warmth. It was so cold in the desolate desert that it was hard to say. However, he was so proud that he didn't even want to curl up his body. He was so strong that people worried about whether he would break into pieces. However, due to his fatigue, he tried to find an arm to hold on to. Then, he called for his mother …

"I wonder what the Emperor thought of when he walked through the West Cold's secret passageway?" Zhuang Li asked. Although she had never applied any makeup on before, her face was still as beautiful as a flower in spring. Compared to the West Cold girl's boldness, she had an additional gentleness unique to the people of the Central Plains. Compared to the silence of the woman from the Central Plains, she had the additional openness of a person from the West Cold. Compared to the girls in the imperial harem, she was a little more spirited and more charming than the girls in the imperial harem, so much so that the girls in the imperial harem were more flirtatious …

In that moment, Wang Su thought that perhaps he had already known this woman for a long time. Otherwise, how could she be able to enter his eyes so easily? He knew his preferences and seemed to be able to understand his loneliness and pride in the past. Not one minute was too much, not one minute was too little …
