After the rebirth, Lord Hou treats me like a treasure

Chapter 62 The Emperor Part 1
The news of Qi Moyuan's return was sent to the palace immediately.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Heng's handsome face was uncertain under the flickering lights.

Long Wei lowered his head and reported Qi Moyuan's situation.

"How is Zezhi's body?" The emperor's voice was gentle, without any emotion.

"Back to the emperor, Duke Zhen was seriously injured at the time, not only his legs were disabled, but he couldn't even remember the past." Long Wei replied.

Zhao Heng's pupils shrank slightly, "Have you lost your memory?"

"Yes." Long Wei said.

"Xuan Li Yongping enters the palace." Zhao Heng said in a deep voice.

Li Yongping is Qi Moyuan's deputy general. Qi Moyuan took advantage of the victory to attack the enemy army in the western border. Li Yongping tried his best to oppose it to no avail. In the end, he was left in the camp and did not set out with the army, so he saved his life.

"Since the general is back, you will pick him up tomorrow." Zhao Heng raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yongping.

If the emperor wants to see Qi Moyuan, he can just summon him into the palace, why should he go to meet him in person?

Li Yongping was stunned for a moment, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Are you sure that all the [-] troops were wiped out by the enemy troops in the western border?" Zhao Heng knew that Qi Mo was far from impulsive and would not order troops easily. Was his mistake framed this time, or was it intentional?

If it was intentional, would Qi Moyuan regret it?If it weren't for the news of his death, Qi Yining would not have fallen.

"Your Majesty, I have seen with my own eyes that both the Qi family's army and the enemy army in the western border were wounded, and those who survived...are also disabled." Li Yongping lowered his head in grief.

All the troops of the Qi family were killed in battle, and the once-prominent Zhen Guo Gongfu no longer had any support.

Zhao Heng was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Yongping lowered his head, waiting for the emperor's order.

"Go on." Zhao Heng finally spoke, he believed that Qi Moyuan didn't intentionally make up false news about his death, and he knew what such sad news meant.

Qi Mo dislikes Qi Yining's accident more than anyone else.

Only Qi Moyuan knows what happened to the [-] Qi family troops in the battle of Wangyue Valley.

Zhao Heng walked out of the imperial study, and the palace servants hurriedly put a cloak on him.

"No need to follow." Zhao Heng waved away the palace servants who wanted to follow behind him, and only took the eunuch Chen Quan who had been with him since he was a child and walked towards the harem.

Chen Quan was holding the palace lantern in front of him, thinking that the emperor had hardly been to the harem for the past few months except to visit the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Could it be that he finally wanted a concubine to sleep with him tonight?
When Chen Quan found out that the place the emperor was going to was Fengyi Palace, shock flashed in his eyes.

"Wait here." Zhao Heng walked into Fengyi Palace alone.

Although the owner of Fengyi Palace is not here, the maids who served before are still there. They clean Fengyi Palace every day, and it still looks exactly the same as before.

Even the comb in front of the dressing cabinet is placed in its original position.

"My maidservant has seen the emperor." The maidservant noticed a moving figure, and came to check what happened, but found a bright yellow figure, she was so startled that she hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Zhao Heng looked at the court lady kneeling on the ground, and recognized her as Shuangyun, the maid Qi Yining brought into the palace, "Pingshen."

Shuangyun stood up with her head down and stood aside, wondering why the emperor who hadn't appeared in Fengyi Palace for almost a year came tonight.

When the empress was around, no one was seen. Now that the empress is gone, he remembered that Fengyi Palace still existed?

"Before the Queen left, were you staying by my side?" Zhao Heng asked in a low voice.

"Going back to the emperor, it's the servant girl who is by the empress's side." Shuangyun replied.

The lights in the main hall flickered, and Zhao Heng looked at an unfinished painting on the table.

The painting is verdant and lush, with two galloping horses, with blurred outlines on their backs, and two people are missing.

"What did the queen say?" Zhao Heng's fingertips lightly touched the vague outline, his voice low and hoarse.

Shuangyun lowered her eyes and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty didn't say anything."
