Chapter 690 Emperor Zhao Wakes Up

At the door, Zhou Qiuning crossed her arms and leaned against the wall quietly, looking at Zhao Ying on the bed with a half-smile.

She didn't seem to pay attention to Zhao Ying's cold eyes at all. The corners of her mouth raised slightly: "What do you think?"

On the bed, Zhao Ying had cold eyes and said nothing.

Those cold eyes were like frost, wreaking havoc in the room.

"It's a bit cold!"

Zhou Qiuning touched her arm lightly and shook her head gently: "Don't worry, I didn't tell him anything."

After a pause, she looked sideways and said with a half-smile: "I just told him that you were injured. Look, he came to you in a hurry!"

Zhao Ying still stared at her with cold eyes, saying nothing. That lonely and beautiful appearance is covered with frost.

"Look, he still has you in his heart."

Zhou Qiuning sighed softly: "Are you really able to let him go?"

Zhao Ying said coldly: "You don't need to worry about this!"

"I don't want to care, but since you can't let him go, why are you still angry?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Qiuning looked at her, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became more obvious: "I kissed him last night, why are you angry and angry? Are you so concerned about being angry?"

Zhao Ying did not answer her question. She stared at her with beautiful eyes and said coldly: "You like him?!"

"There are so many people in the world who like him!"

Zhou Qiuning lowered his head and smiled, his eyes fell on his fingertips, and chuckled: "As far as I know, he has quite a few confidantes around him. He is a talented person, handsome and talented. What's more, he is the prince of Northern Qi now. I don't know how many people he will attract. Women throw themselves into their arms..."

"If you don't want him, someone else will!"

Zhou Qiuning smiled: "I am just one of the many living beings. Isn't it weird to like him?"

Zhao Ying stared at her coldly: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Yes, I did do it on purpose."

Zhou Qiuning nodded and admitted directly.

"Why do you have to run away?"

Zhou Qiuning quickly sighed and walked into the room. Her eyes fell on Zhao Ying on the bed, and she was filled with emotions.

Ever since she was little, she has been extremely confident in her appearance and temperament, but the eldest princess in front of her still amazed her.

Even though her slightly weak face looked a little fairer and haggard at this time, she still couldn't hide her cold and unparalleled temperament.

Exquisite, beautiful, with a fairy-like temperament, not tainted by the tackiness of the world.

How could such a beautiful woman be trapped in emotional affairs?

Zhou Qiuning's eyes slowly moved down from Zhao Ying's face, and gradually fell on her lower abdomen. Then, he sighed softly: "Do you really think you can hide it from everyone?"

As if realizing something, Zhao Ying suddenly raised her head and stared at her, her eyes instantly dangerous: "What do you know?"

"You can hide it from him for the time being, but you can't hide it from me!"

Zhou Qiuning sighed: "In the past few months, I have been with you day and night, from Nanzhou to Jiangnan and then to the capital. Although you concealed it very well along the way, there is absolutely no way there will be any flaws, right?"

Zhao Ying's face changed slightly. She stared at Zhou Qiuning for a long time, her eyes dangerous, as if some secret had been revealed.

Killing intent suddenly filled the air.

Zhou Qiuning turned a blind eye and lowered her head to play with the taste: "You didn't dare to let him check and take your pulse just now, weren't you just worried that he would notice something strange?"

"You want to hide the fact that you are pregnant with his child, right?"

"..."

At this moment, the room was in vain silence. The room was left extremely deserted, like the cold winter.

Zhou Qiuning looked at Zhao Ying quietly, with playful eyes and an indescribable complex mood.

She had already seen something was wrong with Zhao Ying.

From Nanzhou to Jiangnan and back to the capital, she and Zhao Ying traveled together.

She could hide it from others, but not from her eyes.

She had already guessed something from the previous details.

Now judging from the reaction on Zhao Ying's face, Zhou Qiuning's guess was completely confirmed.

She has it!

At this time, Zhao Ying still had a cold face, as cold as frost.

Zhou Qiuning's words seemed to lift off her last shred of cover. The hand under the quilt touched his upper abdomen almost subconsciously.

But soon, she came back to her senses and said coldly: "Whether I have children or not has nothing to do with him!"

"Yeah?"

Zhou Qiuning said playfully: "Do you want to tell me that the child in your belly has nothing to do with him? This child is not yours and his?"

Zhao Ying was silent again!

After a long time, she said coldly: "It's not important."

"No, this is important!"

Zhou Qiuning interrupted her and raised the corners of her mouth.

"If you really plan to completely sever ties with him, why do you want to keep this child?"

Zhou Qiuning saw things clearly.

Since she chose to keep this child, it proves that she still has lingering feelings for Li Beifeng in her heart.

Otherwise, this child, who carries the grievances between the two countries, should never stay in this world.

Now that she has made a choice, it also represents her thoughts!

"If it weren't for this child, you and him might indeed be destined to be inseparable in this life. Or maybe one day in the future, you will even meet each other on the battlefield, but now, this is not necessarily the case..."

Zhou Qiuning's eyes fell on Zhao Ying's lower abdomen and she said softly: "This child may become the key to mediating the grievances between you, or even the grievances between Da Zhao and Bei Qi..."

The Princess of Dazhao and the Crown Prince of Northern Qi have a love child. If this news spreads, it will surely shock the world.

No one knows where the two countries will go by then!

But perhaps it can break the current deadlock, or even ease the relationship between the two countries.

There is a hint of confusion in Zhao Ying's cold eyes.

Why did she leave this child?

She doesn't know.

It's just...

Her thoughts went back to that night a few months ago...

After that night, she left the capital. She thought she would never come back in this life, and would never see him again. The relationship between the two of them came to an end after that night.

However, fate is a trick!

A few months later, she found that she began to have symptoms of nausea and vomiting. When she realized that she was pregnant, Zhao Ying was stunned.

Then she fell into a long period of contemplation, entanglement and hesitation.

Reason told her that this child could not be kept.

This child symbolizes the grievances between Dazhao and Northern Qi. Leaving him would probably cause unbearable consequences. At the same time, it would also break all her plans and decisions.

But when she decided to abort the child, she couldn't do it anyway.

This is her own flesh and blood after all!

More importantly, for Zhao Ying, who was disheartened at the time. Discovering the existence of this child was a ray of light in her dark life.

Or perhaps it was her last struggle!

In the end, she decided to keep the child.

She also decided to return to the capital!

She looked at Zhou Qiu Ning coldly and said indifferently: "My child will not participate in any grievances between Da Zhao and Bei Qi, nor will he have anything to do with him!"

As expected of the eldest princess of Da Zhao, she used to be in charge of the Qin Tiansi and shocked the world.

At present, her temperament is unparalleled, and her momentum is even more sharp.

However, Zhou Qiuning didn't believe it. She glanced at her and said, "Do you want this child to be born without a father?"

"My child doesn't need a father!"

Zhou Qiuning pondered: "How do you know he doesn't need a father?"

Zhao Ying glanced at her coldly, and didn't answer her boring question. She said coldly: "The grudge between him and me doesn't need you to intervene. If it happens again, I will kill you!"

"Tsk, so ruthless!"

Zhou Qiuning tilted her head and sighed: "I am obviously helping you, but you don't appreciate it at all. Forget it, I don't care about you."

"I don't care about how you are with him. However, I have to remind you of one thing..."

Zhou Qiuning crossed her arms and the smile on her face gradually disappeared: "Don't forget our big plan!"

"..."

Ruyi Tower.

In the courtyard.

A female disciple in a green robe approached the door of the room with medicine. After the female disciple at the door opened the door, she walked into the room.

Then, she came to the bed behind the screen.

Another female disciple was standing by the bed.

"What's wrong?"

"He's in good health, but there's no sign of him waking up!"

The other party sighed softly.

"Change the medicine. The young master has told us to take good care of him."

After the two female disciples carefully changed the medicine for the person on the bed, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is the origin of this person? Why does the young master value him so much?"

"I don't know, but he looks extraordinary. He should not be an ordinary person. He must be a big shot."

"He can still survive in this situation. His martial arts should be quite good, right? Who do you think is more powerful, him or our leader?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course it's our leader. In today's world, our leader is a genius that is hard to come by in a century. Who in the world can compare to his strength at such a young age?"

"That's right. I heard that the leader is now in Beizhou, and the old owner is also in Beizhou... By the way, do you think the leader has married Mr. Li?"

"It's hard to say. It's possible..."

"..."

Just as the two female disciples were chatting about gossip, Emperor Zhao, who had been lying in bed for several months without any reaction, suddenly moved his fingers slightly.

"What do you think of the old building owner's current strength? Has she already entered that realm?"

"I don't know, but the old building owner has been away for a few years, and her strength should have improved a lot. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the best in the world!"

"But, what if that person is still alive?"

"...Even if he is still alive, he is probably too old to be a match for our old building owner?"

"You have a point!"

The female disciple sighed, a little yearning: "The old building owner said that the leader's martial arts talent is better than hers, and there is even hope that he will be one step ahead of the old building owner... Wait, what do you think?"

Just then, the female disciple seemed to notice something, her eyes fell on the bed, her expression solemn and shocked: "He seemed to move just now?"

"What?!"

Another female disciple heard this and immediately turned back to look at the man on the bed.

"Moved?"

"Yes, I just saw it..."

The two stared at Emperor Zhao on the bed, and one of the female disciples whispered: "Are you awake?"

No response.

"If you can hear me, please respond?"

On the bed, the skinny Emperor Zhao breathed weakly and calmly.

At this moment, his fingers trembled again.

The two female disciples were instantly excited.

"It moved!"

"Is there a real reaction?!"

"Quick, notify the young master!"

"..."

Emperor Zhao had a dream!

A very long dream!

In the dream, he was betrayed by the crown prince and murdered by him. Then the crown prince usurped the throne and the world was in chaos!

The old party of Northern Qi, which was destroyed by him in the past, made a comeback in the north and united with the rebels to split him from Dazhao. Dazhao collapsed and the Zhao family's hundreds of years of rule were destroyed.

And he could only watch all this happen again and again.

Chaotic memories and dreams kept impacting his mind and thoughts. He seemed to be in chaos and didn't know how long it was.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time,

there seemed to be a ray of light in front of him, and he desperately chased the light source. Finally, when he passed through the light source, the sky was bright!

What he saw was the antique beams in a quiet room.

Where is this?

The short thoughts in his head made him confused and dizzy.

At the same time, he felt pain and weakness all over his body, and the familiar sense of reality gradually surged into his heart.

"Are you awake?!"

A woman's voice came from his ear.

Emperor Zhao opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a woman standing by the bed, looking at him with surprise.

"You finally woke up. Did you know that you have been in a coma for several months!"

How many months?

Emperor Zhao looked dazed. At this time, some memories gradually came into his mind, and his thoughts began to return to normal.

At the same time, his head hurt!

His eyes went dark and he fainted again.

...

When Emperor Zhao woke up again, it was already night.

And at this moment, he finally gradually regained his memory!

He, didn't die? !

He clearly remembered that in the secret passage of the Dazhao Palace, he was betrayed by the three most trusted Taoist priests around him and was stabbed to death in the secret passage by his rebellious son Zhao Jing...

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao's eyes were slightly cold.

He never thought that he would be betrayed by the people he trusted the most.

But now, why is he not dead?

Where is this place?

How many months has he been in a coma?

How is Dazhao?

Many doubts surged in his mind at this moment. He struggled hard to get up, but he couldn't move.

He was weak all over and couldn't use any strength.

At this moment, the door of the room opened.

Then, a figure walked in.

"Awake?"

Emperor Zhao looked up and saw a young man.

The young man looked very ordinary, but his temperament was good, especially his eyes. Emperor Zhao always felt familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"You, who are you?!"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is..." The young man looked at him with a relieved look: "You finally woke up, and my efforts in the past few months were not in vain."

Emperor Zhao stared at the young man in front of him, "Yes, you saved me?!"

"That's right."

The young man crossed his arms and nodded, saying: "You can survive, purely because I extend your life."

Emperor Zhao stared at him, with a bit of coldness in his cold eyes: "Why did you save me?"

"It's very simple!"

The young man glanced at him meaningfully: "You are alive, it's useful to me."

"..."
