Wishful Things

"With the help of the national teacher, the person who tried to make the emperor despise me for no reason, and helped Ji Wanyou take that pill in Lingshan Palace... Is that you, Zhao Zhao?" Zhan Yunzhu asked slowly.

Xu Mingyi didn't deny it: "That's right, it's me."

Zhan Yunzhu straightened his mouth slightly, and the smile in his eyes froze for a moment, but then became stronger: "It really is you, Zhao Zhao... According to this, the dignified national teacher of a country is actually a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? This is something I have never thought of, and I am afraid that even His Majesty has not noticed it..."

Xu Mingyi sneered noncommittally and said: "Why, are you still planning to tell the emperor about this, and use it as credit for your turning around?"

Did he really think that he still had a chance to speak out?

"At least on the surface, I am innocent at the moment." Zhan Yunzhu said with a slight smile: "Ji Shangshu has been exonerated, and I am naturally free of suspicion. Zhao Zhao, the matter of King Xiang is also related to you, right? Are you helping Ji's family? Then have you ever thought that I will be innocent too?"

Hearing the tentative meaning of these words, Xu Mingyi only found it extremely ridiculous.

Ji Xiu was able to escape this time, and it does have something to do with her, but as for whether Zhan Yunzhu will lose his suspicion?

I really didn't think about it.

Why should you worry about him when something can be solved with a single blow?

Besides—

"Even if Ji Xiu is innocent, can you be used by the emperor again?"

"That's why I want to meet Zhaozhao..." Under the candlelight, the young man's gentle brows and eyes are full of affection: "Zhaozhao, since you were a child, can't you really not see my heart? Even so, there is no deep hatred between you and me...Why do you not want me to live better, and even want me to die?"

Xu Mingyi just sneered.

The word friendship was uttered from this mouth, and it was really desecrated to the bottom. After hearing the two words, I am afraid that I will feel dirty, and I will never be able to raise my head to write words.

"So, when you say these things, you want to take advantage of the power of my Zhen Guo Gongfu to turn around?"

He offended Ji Xiu and lost the emperor's respect, so did he think of their Xu family again?

"Since Zhao Zhao is so smart, why can't he make a deal with me? Since the national teacher is your man, it would be a piece of cake for me to return to the emperor's side." Zhan Yunzhu's tone was a little seductive: "Zhao Zhao, if you are willing to help me this time, in the future you and I will join hands, maybe we can restore the decline of Zhen Guogong's mansion in time and save Guogong's life..."

Looking at such a pair of eyes, Xu Mingyi felt a deep chill in his heart.

Now that the matter has come to this point, she can still set her mind on her Xu family. She doesn't know whether she should cast aside or feel "admiration" for such a person.

Just this tenacity to give up everything for survival and profit is something she has never seen in the second person.

Brazen and unscrupulous—

Such ordinary words are not even enough to describe one or two of them.

And precisely because of this, such a person should be eradicated as soon as possible, and he must not be left with any chance to get up and make trouble!

This is what she has always thought, and at this moment, she is much more determined.

"After talking so much nonsense, there's still nothing I want to hear." Xu Mingyi looked at him and said, "Even if we really want to cooperate, we still have to show some sincerity, right?"

Sensing the murderous intent suppressed in the girl for a moment, Zhan Yunzhu looked at her for a moment, and there was a flash of darkness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Sincerely..."

He smiled and nodded: "Of course there are. After you read it, you will be able to see my sincerity."

While speaking, he had already stood up, pointed in the direction of the inner room, and said, "My sincerity is in the secret room."

Chamber of Secrets?

Xu Mingyi immediately raised his guard in his heart.

"You may as well ask the person in the secret room about the matter of the Duke. He is the only one in this world who knows how to cure the Duke of the Duke... After you ask him, you will naturally understand, and then you will know whether you need to cooperate with me or not." Zhan Yunzhu said to her.

Grandfather poisoned? !

Xu Mingyi looked at him suspiciously: "You should know that your courtyard is under the control of my subordinates at this moment, and no outsiders will approach - if there is really someone in the secret room, you can just bring them out and talk."

"It's okay to take it out."

Zhan Yunzhu raised his hands and sleeves, with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "But I am not the same as before. I have risked my life several times. Although I survived by chance, my body has already been damaged. I am just a frail person. It may not be easy to bring a crippled man with all his tendons cut off from the secret room. So, Zhao Zhao is still needed to go with me. Of course, if you can't trust me, you can send a few more people to go with me."

Xu Mingyi looked past him and looked in the direction of Neijian.

Now all of this is obviously full of traces of traps.

The only difference is whether there are clues or answers she wants in the trap.

But now in this situation, she didn't want to take the risk herself, so naturally she couldn't let Uncle Zhu and the others take the risk——

"Zhaozhao, you should know who I am. What I want is never to hurt both sides. That's a fool's way. What I want is symbiosis and win-win. I want to negotiate a deal with you today, and if I don't have enough bargaining chips, how dare I invite you here?"

Zhan Yunzhu's tone had the meaning of reminding: "The Duke is in a very critical situation at this time, whether to save or not depends on how you choose—"

After hearing the last sentence, Xu Mingyi slowly looked away, and got up from the chair holding the umbrella.

"You don't have to play tricks, I won't go in."

There are too many strange things about this matter.

The inducing meaning in Zhan Yunzhu's words is also too obvious.

If he could get some answer, it would be okay to take a risk for his grandfather, but it is not yet known whether the so-called answer exists.

Both intuition and reason are telling her that she should not be induced by the other party to act.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the hall.

Then, what came into my ears was the clear voice of the young man——

"I'll go in and have a look for her."

Wu Chao strode into the hall.

Seeing the teenagers who suddenly appeared and apparently heard the conversation behind them, Zhan Yunzhu's eyes moved: "Your Excellency...Wu Shisun from Dingnan Palace?"

But why did the descendants of Dingnan Palace appear here?

"Exactly." Wu Chao looked at him and said, "Lead the way."

Xu Mingyi gently tugged at his slightly wet sleeves.

Wu Chao slightly turned his head to look at her, only to see that she shook her head seriously, with disapproval in her eyes.

Wu Chao lightly held her hand that was pulling his sleeve - she could always maintain her sanity, which was the best thing. And outside of reason, what she wants to do in her heart, and he will do it for her.

Goodnight everybody.

(Everyone bear with it, it’s coming soon, the box lunch is coming soon)
