They came back late yesterday, rushing to take care of Shen Liuzhen's mood, so they didn't let him get up so early.

But she felt that Shen Liuzhen couldn't even get rid of that flower, and she was worried for him.

So he increased his task load by half again. As a result, Shen Liuzhen was too tired to run. He had already started begging for mercy a few laps earlier. If he wanted to give up, even the rewards didn't work, he just wanted to lie down.

Seeing that Shen Liuzhen was sweating all over his head, Xie Yuan was really reluctant, sighed, looked at him and said:
"You really have no talent, how can you practice with little effect?"

Shen Liuzhen supported his knees, opened his mouth slightly, managed to catch his breath, and said:

"Ah...it's not easy, you finally realized this. Otherwise, we'll just...forget it."

Xie Yuan raised his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

"It is because of insufficient talent that we need to work hard to make up for it. What is it? There is little effect in a month or a few months, and there will always be some progress in a year or two."

Shen Liuzhen was at a loss for words, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his head, walked aside without making a sound, picked up the robe and cloak he had put on the stone, and prepared to wear them one by one.

Xie Yuan walked over and took the cloak in his hands for him. After he finished putting on the outer robe, he shook the cloak thoughtfully and put it on him, tied the belt for him, and said with downcast eyes:

"I'll go take a look with you."

The tone was beyond doubt, and there was no room for negotiation.

Shen Liuzhen was so happy to be taken care of by Xie Yuan, his face flushed, revealing two sweet dimples, and he looked more and more like a little daughter-in-law.

He raised his sparkling eyes and asked: "A Yuan, should I comb my hair before I go, the bun is messed up."

Xie Yuan looked up, stretched out his hand and used his fingers to straighten some of the broken hair that ran out, and said boldly:
"It's not a big problem, let's go, let's go first and talk about it later."

……

The two of them went to the front hall side by side, and at a glance they saw that the figure with his back to them admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall was Emperor Ulay.

Both of them were very surprised, and called out in unison:
"His Majesty?"

Ulay turned around, looked around for a while, saw that there was no outsider, then spread his smile, and said:

"Hush...don't say anything, I'm just here for a stroll."

After all, he said to Dugu Jian who had been standing not far away:

"Go and watch outside, I'll have a few words with Shen Shizhong."

When Dugujian heard this, he clasped his fists in response and walked out. When passing by Xie Yuan, he gave her a bad look and reminded him in a low voice:

"Didn't you hear what His Majesty said, come out with me."

Xie Yuan originally followed because he was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to Shen Liuzhen, but he was relieved when he saw that it was Wu Lei, so he turned around and followed Dugu Jian out.

Dugu Jian dutifully closed the door of the front hall, so he and Xie Yuan became two door gods and stood outside.

Still two dislike each other.

In the front hall, Wu Lei and Shen Liuzhen sat down next to each other. The emperor asked Shen Liuzhen directly:
"Do you know why I came here?"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes flickered for a while, with a very innocent look, he said with a smile:
"I don't know."

Ulay's deep eyes drooped down and landed on his wrist, signaling with his eyes:
"Show me your wrist."

Shen Liuzhen hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his wrist.He lifted his sleeves up, exposing the bruises inside.

Although it was not obvious because Xie Yuan rubbed it for him, but if you look closely, you can still see traces of finger prints.

Ulay's pupils shrank for a moment, and then his eyelashes blinked, as if he felt a little guilty, and said:
"Yesterday I didn't know what happened to you, and I heard a few guesses from the queen, so I didn't sleep well all night."

Shen Liuzhen retracted his wrist, carefully covered it with his wide sleeve, and said lightly:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the subject is fine, but I was scratched twice, and it will be fine in a few days."

Hearing this, Ulay raised his eyes and glanced at him, feeling even more guilty, and said:
"Liu Zhen, Hua Shi is the son of Empress Dowager Bao. If he dies, Empress Dowager Bao will be sad. However, as long as you don't want his life, you can just say, I will beat him up for you. Tell me, How many hits?"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes froze, as if he was thinking about something, then he raised his eyes to look directly at Wu Lei, and said:
"It's not a big deal, let's forget it. Anyway, they will leave Pingcheng in a few days. If we can't see each other in the future, he will have no chance to harass me again."

He paused, and said slowly and solemnly:

"I understand His Majesty's heart, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Your Majesty."

Shen Liuzhen's words were sincere, and in Emperor Ulei's ears, it was full of humiliation.

Ulay felt that his conscience was as heavy as a mountain, and he couldn't breathe.

To be honest, if Hua Shi was not the son of the Empress Dowager Bao, based on his friendship with Shen Liuzhen, he would have eunuched that trash dim sum after hearing about it yesterday, and thrown it to the border to serve as a military slave. Let him stay in the palace well!

He came here specifically to ask today, somewhat with the intention of trying to resolve it.

Finally, Wu Lei sighed deeply, and sat with Shen Liuzhen like that, looking at a calligraphy and painting opposite.

The two were silent and stared blankly.

And outside the gate, Dugu Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore, after taking a few glances at Xie Yuan with his swollen eyeballs, he said angrily:
"General Xie is really lucky. In a short time, he will become the commander of a central guard army in Wei State."

After hearing this, Xie Yuan turned his head slowly, and Danfeng's eyes were full of unyielding light, and asked:
"Good luck? Why doesn't Xie know, where is my luck?"

Dugujian snorted coldly and said:

"That's not good. Have you ever heard of an enemy general who can turn around and be so highly regarded?"

Xie Yuan looked at the void, and laughed twice:
"That's because you don't read much, but you won't say such things if you read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Dugujian glared at Xie Yuan fiercely, and was so blocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.Because he really didn't read any books.

His swollen eyes were wide open, and he was extremely guilty, and finally stammered unconvincedly:

"You read a lot! What are you proud of? You are just a little better than me. If you have the ability, you can compare with Shen Shizhong!"

This time Xie Yuan was speechless, she turned her head, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said after a while:
"If you think I'm incapable, relying on luck, you can have a competition with me. The arena outside the door has been set up for so many days, and I haven't seen you come before."

Dugujian rolled his eyes and said:
"Heh... I know you are good at martial arts, but is the commander of the Central Guard Army competent only by force?... His Majesty chose you, but it was just a helpless move. If it wasn't because of your relationship with Shen Shizhong, Where will it be your turn?"
