Seeing that Zhang Qingjiu followed him into the mansion without any hesitation, Chu Kuo paused slightly, looked at her carefully, and said in an almost mocking tone: "I thought you wouldn't come in."
"Why not." Zhang Qingjiu glanced at him indifferently, walked forward on his own, and stopped at a pavilion, "Do you want to kill me?"
Chu Kuo sneered and followed inside, "Master Xiao Zhang is now the heart of His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Is this Prince willing to die?"
The person in front of me had a smile on his face, without any fear or panic. He was so confident and so dazzling.
Why hadn't he noticed it before?
Chu Kuo took a deep breath and said, "I came to you today because I want to ask you something."
Looking up at the once luxurious and luxurious Prince's Mansion, which was now covered with white silk, Zhang Qingjiu sighed quietly, "I know, after all, you are not here to treat me to a banquet."
"You!" Chu Kuo felt angry and was about to step forward, but suddenly remembered something, lowered his eyes and sneered, "Master Xiao Zhang's wish may come true. The mother-in-law died of a crime and cannot enter the concubine's mausoleum.
Without being able to enter the ancestral temple, let alone the royal grace, even I can only pay my respects secretly."
"Since you also know, just tell me directly." Zhang Qingjiu glanced at the sun and said, "It's getting late, so I have to go back to eat after I finish talking."
If it were in the past, with Zhang Qingjiu's attitude, Chu Kuo would have been furious and sarcastic, but today he was very calm, as if he was the one being provoked, not himself.
After waving his hand and asking the maid to bring tea, Chu Kuo went to the stone table and sat down. He picked up the tea cup and said quietly: "This prince has asked his father to guard the imperial mausoleum for three years. When the three years are over, he will leave the capital.
When you go to the fiefdom, you no longer have to worry about my prince fighting with him again."
Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, leaned against the railing of the pavilion, looked at the koi carps swimming happily in the water under the pavilion, turned around and took a plate of fish food from the side and dropped it, "What am I worried about?"
, you can't fight no matter where you are, you are asking for trouble if you fight over and over again."
Chu Kuo: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Chu Kuo narrowed his eyes and said, "So you knew about my plan from beginning to end in this matter?"
"Ha... that's a bit broad." Zhang Qingjiu clapped his hands and turned around with a bit of laziness in his expression, "Does it mean that when you designed Murong Yunfei to be imprisoned, you were the one who instigated the Zhong family to do whatever they wanted.
He is the one who arranged this imperial examination, or does it refer to...Murong Chunlai's identity?"
Facing the person in front of him, his expression became a little bit more astonished every time he said something, and every time he took a step, the fear in his eyes deepened. He could no longer pretend to be calm and calm, Zhang Qingjiu blinked his eyes, without the slightest fear in his voice.
, "I don't know where you are talking about?"
"You, you really know everything!" Chu Kuo's eyes widened, and he took a step back suddenly, as if he was frightened, "You are a witch, you have... planned everything a long time ago! You harmed me! Yes
You! It was you who harmed this prince!"
Along the way, every step has been planned, and the plan is perfect. How could we give up?
He has calculated all the variables here, but who knew that Zhang Qingjiu would appear?!
If it weren't for her...
"What a joke." Zhang Qingjiu patted his robe and sat down on the chair, "My heart is so bad, why should I blame others for setting it up? Chu Kuo, did I force you to do these things? Or did I?
Say, I sent these people to you?"
Taking a deep breath, Chu Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "You are such a snake-hearted woman! Back in the Palace of Prayer, I should have been more ruthless and killed you directly!"
Without this woman, he would have been the prince long ago, and Chu Lan would have died long ago, with no bones left!
It was she who ruined her plans time and time again.
"Hey, talking about this, I really remembered it." Seeing Chu Kuo's crazy look, Zhang Qingjiu didn't have the slightest fear on his face, "After all, I want to thank you for what you did."
"What do you mean?" Chu Kuo was stunned.
Is she crazy?
"If it hadn't been for your ruthlessness, His Highness the Eighth Prince, I wouldn't be here today without my sake." Zhang Qingjiu raised the corner of his mouth, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, like a poppy swaying and blooming in the wind.
It was he and Zhang Qingcha who forced the original owner to have no choice but to make a sacrifice, which gave her the possibility of coming to this other world.
However, when these words fell into Chu Kuo's ears, they had another meaning, "Love leads to hatred. Are you doing all this because you love me, the prince?"
Zhang Qingjiu: "..."
How come this guy can still be so thick-skinned after being beaten again and again?
"From love comes resentment, from love comes hatred. Jiujiu, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I swear, I will only love you in the future!" Chu Kuo saw Zhang Qingjiu and said nothing.
, thinking that he had spoken to her mind, he immediately felt happy, couldn't help but excitedly spoke, stood up and stepped forward.
Zhang Qingjiu twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly pulled his hand away, taking the opportunity to shake the goosebumps on his arms, "I thank you for your selfless love! But the Eighth Prince may have misunderstood. I hate you not because of love.
I don't have such good qualities. I only mess with you because you are... cheap."
After saying the last sentence, Chu Kuo's face instantly turned livid. What a Zhang Qingjiu, such a sharp-tongued and vicious-hearted woman, she actually dared to play tricks on him!
In a daze, Chu Kuo seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of ridicule on his face, "Zhang Qingjiu, have you forgotten that when you fell into the water, it was this prince who saved you and allowed you to live today? Is this how you repay kindness with enmity?
"
Back then, it was because of this incident that this woman had a deep love for him.
"You?" Zhang Qingjiu glanced at him lazily, with pity mixed with ridicule in his eyes, "Are you sure that's you? Your Majesty, you will continue to get retribution for lying."
Although she didn't know who the rescuer was, there was nothing on Chu Kuo that was responsible for Zhang Qingjiu's life-saving grace. If there was, it was Zhang Qingjiu who was responsible for him.
Chu Kuo's breath suffocated, his eyes changed again and again, and finally he sneered and looked away pretending not to care, "That's all, why bother mentioning the past again."
"Is everything okay?" Zhang Qingjiu patted his robe and stood up.
"One last thing." Chu Kuo looked at her smiling face, couldn't help but smile coldly, and stood up, "My own biological father can take advantage of you, do you think you are a good person? In fact, you are a good person.
, you and I are the same people."
"Me and you?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, "That's really not the case."
"Do you know why?" Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly, "You underestimate a mother's love for her son, and you underestimate a daughter's hatred for her father."
He thought he would stop after getting Zhang Tailiu in? But he didn't know that the moment Zhang Qingjiu died, her and Zhang Tailiu's fate as father and daughter ended.
If Concubine Xie didn't love him and did such a thing in the end, which shielded him from all kinds of sins, none of this would have happened in the end.
But he still chose Mingzhe to protect himself after Concubine Xie died.
The so-called regret, the so-called wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety are just for peace of mind.
"If you really have the guts, you can admit it on your own when Concubine Xie confesses her crime."
"If you are unwilling, you can fight me to the death."
"But you didn't, you didn't dare."
"It was you who personally pushed the people who loved you most down the abyss one by one and sent them to hell thousands of miles away."
Looking at Chu Kuo's crazy and scarlet eyes, Zhang Qingjiu smiled coldly, turned and left.
For some people, letting them live is the greatest punishment.
