Gu Zhao was not interested in listening to Lin Xuerong's anger, so he guided her and said, "Lin Xuerong, I've always been curious, why are you so hostile to me?"

"On the first day I entered the Duke's Mansion, you treated me as an enemy. The courtesy to the Duke was just a greeting gift for me, but you had to find a way to coax me into your hands. Why is this?"

Lin Xuerong's thin face became tense, fearing that Gu Zhao would settle old scores with her.

She forced a smile, "That was because I was petty and worried that you would take away my father and mother's favor. Now I know I was wrong. If you are still not happy, I am willing to apologize to you."

Alas, does the heroine really have a halo? I obviously knew the development of the plot a long time ago, and I tried my best to kill the heroine and break up the official match. But in the end, the heroine turned around and went to some Control He Division.

I became a high-ranking official, but instead I was imprisoned in a dungeon. No matter how you look at it, I have become the heroine of the villain.

The fate of female villains is as miserable as they are, and I don’t want to be like them!

Gu Zhao heard the word "official match" again and felt thoughtful in his heart.

Lin Xuerong wanted to stand up and salute her to admit her mistake, but Gu Zhao grabbed her hand and held her back. "No, you just need to answer my questions."

"I ask again, why have you been so hostile to me since the first time you saw me?"

Lin Xuerong suppressed her discomfort and explained with a smile, "Sister, this is all a misunderstanding. I have never been hostile to you, only like you. Maybe my words are inappropriate sometimes, but I really treat you as my sister."

"Look, didn't I take you to Yu Chong Mountain to attend the Prince's Plum Appreciation Banquet? Didn't I introduce many friends to you?"

As soon as I arrived at the Duke's Mansion, I sent my nanny's brother to Jiangnan to find the couple and ask them to kill you. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed. I let you come to Beijing anyway!

Fortunately, when the prince met you that day at Yu Chong Mountain, he didn’t fall in love at first sight. It can be seen that the plot in the book cannot be changed. The prince and Gu Zhao, the official couple, may not necessarily get together!

As long as you let me out, I will definitely learn a lesson and never act rashly like this again!

Gu Zhao's hands shook and he finally understood what "official matchmaking" meant.

It turns out that in Lin Xuerong’s mind, she and the prince are both characters in the book? And they are also the couple set in the book!

No wonder Lin Xuerong wanted to get rid of her so much. It turned out that what Lin Xuerong took away from her was not only the identity of the eldest daughter of Duke Li, but also the future of the Crown Princess!

Lin Xuerong is really a character. He has poisoned her time and time again and wants her to disappear immediately. In front of her, he can lie so calmly, as if he has never done anything.

Such a scheming person, and knowing the plot of the so-called book very well, no wonder she was no match for Lin Xuerong in her previous life, and was manipulated by Lin Xuerong from beginning to end!

Moreover, until now, Lin Xuerong has not shown any remorse, and all she can think about is how to get back at her.

With Lin Xuerong like this, Gu Zhao felt that no matter how she was dealt with, it would never be too much!

"Speaking of the Crown Prince, today His Majesty announced my entry into the palace, and I also met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Lin Xuerong's eyes suddenly lit up, "His Royal Highness? Did he ask about me?"

I have been working on the prince's favor since I arrived here at the age of ten. Anyway, even if I can't be the prince's concubine, I can still be regarded as his childhood sweetheart, right?

He will definitely miss me after not seeing me for so long.

Gu Zhao had a smile on his face, "He asked me if I thought he should continue to maintain the marriage relationship with Duke Li."

Lin Xuerong was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask 'you'?"

Gu Zhao only smiled and said nothing, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

It took Lin Xuerong a while to figure out what Gu Zhao meant. She jumped up suddenly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

But then, she fell back on the chair with an 'ouch' sound.

She had been imprisoned for too long and had not enough food or drink. She was extremely weak and had no strength at all.

I made a big move just now, and my legs immediately became weak, and I couldn't stand firmly.

"No! He, how could he ask 'you'!" Lin Xuerong didn't care about her body at all and screamed with all her strength.

Does the prince want to choose Gu Zhao as his marriage partner? Then just like what is written in the book, they will marry first and then fall in love, and in the end they will be together for the rest of their lives?

Is this the power of plot? At this point, we still want to bring the male and female protagonists together?

No, no, absolutely not! If this is the case, what will my efforts over the years count?

Lin Xuerong grabbed Gu Zhao tightly with her backhand, and her eyes filled with hatred, "Why? Why? What I strive for with all my strength, you can get it by stretching out your hand?"

Although Lin Xuerong no longer had much strength, her nails had not been trimmed for too long, and Gu Zhao still felt uncomfortable when she held them on her hands.

She opened Lin Xuerong's fingers one by one, "Really? Should what you fight for with all your strength be yours?"

Lin Xuerong was startled, her eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Zhao.

Does Gu Zhao know? Does she know that I took over her identity and took away everything that originally belonged to her? Does she want to kill me?

Now there are only two of us, even if she kills me, no one will know!

Or, it would be enough for her to lock me in the dungeon and let me fend for myself...
