I don’t know how long it took, but she looked up at me in panic, her voice trembling: “What do you mean by telling me this?”
I looked at her, a smile floating on the corner of my mouth, but my eyes were solemn.
I said, "I tell you because I want to help you."
“…!”
Her breathing was suffocated.
After a while, she looked at me in disbelief and said, "You want to help me? What do you want to help me?"
I said calmly: "Do you still need to ask? Help you, of course, help you as the queen."
“…”
She was frozen there.
I looked at her calmly for a long time, and saw countless emotions in her eyes surged, surprised, panic, uneasy, confused... It was wonderful for a moment, but I couldn't react for a long time, so I reached over and clicked on the back of her hand that she placed on the table.
She suddenly retracted as if her hands were burned.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing her look like she was teased by a prodigal son, I just smiled faintly and said, "Don't tell me, you have never thought about it."
“…”
"I don't believe you didn't think about it."
At this moment, she was even more chaotic than when she knew the true meaning of her name just now, and she couldn't even sit down. She stood up on the edge of the table, but when she got up, she was stiff and shook for several times. I also hurriedly got up and wanted to reach out to support her, but she saw her raise her hand and signal me not to touch her. She turned around and walked back and forth in this empty bedroom for several times.
I know that it was her chaotic thought that made her feel uneasy.
After a while, she stopped and looked back at me: "You want to help me?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
"You want to help me? Why do you want to help me?"
I said sincerely: "You actually understand the situation now. Your sister has completely lost the position of queen. Shengjing sent that 'phoenix', of course he was also staring at the position of queen. I am not afraid to tell you clearly that Xie Houqi and I have a grudge, so of course I can't watch his sister become queen, otherwise I will have no good days in the future."
“…”
"It's better for you to do it instead of letting Gardi be the queen."
“…”
Her breath was disordered and even breathing seemed very difficult.
After listening to my words, Han Zitong stalemates for a while. When he slowly raised his head to look at me, his eyes were as dark as if there was no star in the middle of winter.
She said, "What about you?"
“…”
"Why haven't you ever thought about it-"
"I never thought about it." Although she had not finished her words, I already knew what she was going to say. I interrupted her calmly and said calmly: "I won't be his queen."
Han Zitong was not too surprised when she heard my words. She seemed to have understood my feelings for a long time, but her expression still seemed very solemn. After a while, when she looked at me again, she said with a complicated look: "It's just because of this reason, did you choose to help me?"
“…”
"I think it doesn't seem that simple."
“…”
I turned to look at her and said with a smile: "You are like a queen now."
“…”
"Yes, it's not that simple."
I slowly walked around the table and walked to her. Although I knew that Hua Zhuyunshan was guarding the yard and was still a distance from the gate, and my words from her could not be heard outside, at this time, I still came to her, so close that the noses of the two people were almost touching together. She watched me approach, as if she wanted to escape, but I had already grabbed her wrist with one hand and said word by word: "This is a deal."
"trade?"
She looked at me in surprise: "What deal?"
"I will help you as the queen, and you - help me leave the capital."
“…!”
She looked at me with wide eyes.
Although she looked so shocked, I didn't see too many surprises in her eyes. I think that since I said those words to her just now, she probably had vaguely guessed my intentions.
However, she didn't say anything anymore, but her expression became complicated.
I immediately guessed that at this time she probably thought about the night Pei Yuanxiu married Han Ruoshi two years ago, she also helped me escape from Jinling.
After so long, my situation with her now seems to be back to the past. When I think about it carefully, even my state of mind is no different from that of the past.
But she changed a lot.
The last time she helped me leave was for her sister, but this time, she was no longer for Han Ruoshi, but for herself.
After all, a woman must live for herself more or less once in her life.
But I immediately saw that her eyes fainted.
She waved my hand away and smiled unsteadily: "Are you teasing me? Yuan Xiu sees you so tightly now, don't say I have no choice. Even if I really have a way to let you go, if he knows, can he spare me?"
I said, "Since I said that, there is a way to let you do this without being discovered by him."
She frowned: "What's the solution?"
I looked back at her, a little coldness flashed across my eyes, and she immediately understood what I meant.
I just told her that those things were actually very bold. If she had not been convinced by me, if the position of queen was not very attractive to her, I would have almost lost all my future.
Even so, I can't show all my trump cards to her.
Han Zitong was silent for a while, looked up at me, and said softly: "Did you plan to leave from the beginning?"
"Did this surprise you?"
"But--"
I interrupted her with a faint smile: "You always have to forget that I was captured by you from Xichuan, and it is natural for me to leave."
“…”
"I can't destroy his path now. Can't I even go my own path?"
“…”
Seeing her expression becoming more and more conflicted, I walked to her side, lowered my head and said in her ear: "There is one thing that I think you understand very well. Pei Yuanxiu closed Jingren Palace and did not let anyone go in. But he kept letting me live in this bedroom. You understand very well what his intention was."
Her eyes flashed, and her whole body twitched.
I said, "If I don't leave... how can I free this position of queen?"
“…”
"Han Zitong...Zi Tong."
“…”
