Chapter 234, Trade-offs
Yan Zhenrui seemed to remember that Zhou Zhiqing was taken to the prince's mansion by Yan Zhenjue.
Although he did not cause substantial harm to Zhou Zhiqing, if he hadn't made trouble, there would not have been so many twists and turns between their husband and wife.
Yan Zhenrui is the most resentful, he doesn't report it at the moment, but it doesn't mean that he can really laugh it off, so Yan Zhenrui pretended to be a sincere face, and said to Yan Zhenjue: "Your Highness doesn't say it, I forgot about it, some time ago, Zhiqing took Brother Xu to live temporarily in His Highness's mansion, with her temperament, it is estimated that she will not cause less trouble, and please ask His Highness to go back and talk to the crown princess, forgive me." β
Yan Zhenjue's face stiffened, he laughed first, and then said: "You can see what you say, this king is your brother, the crown princess is your sister-in-law, and how many years older than you, can you still be as knowledgeable as you?" β
This time, I can't even see it.
Yan Zhenrui looked at Yan Zhenjue's embarrassed face, but he had to pretend to be indifferent, and secretly sneered in his heart. This is what Zhou Zhiqing is used to beating Xiaohun of, and if you change someone, you have to be scared to death and bullied to death.
Zhou Zhiqing didn't suffer a loss, it was her own ability, but it wasn't Yan Zhenjue who raised her noble hand, he remembered this hatred, and sooner or later he had to return it.
The two brothers discussed, Yan Zhenrui said goodbye and went back, he and Zhou Zhiqing said, "Clean up and follow me out of the city." β
Zhou Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, met Yan Zhenrui's Yan sΓΉ excessively eyes, and asked hesitantly, "What about Brother Xu?" β
Yan Zhenrui said indifferently: "Stay in the city first." β
Zhou Zhiqing's heart chuckled, and she frowned. After enduring it a few times, he still couldn't hold back, his chest bulged, and he held back his anger and said, "Is the prince planning to leave Brother Xu alone?" "If she can escape by throwing Brother Xu'er, she would rather not escape.
Yan Zhenrui strangled Zhou Zhiqing over and kissed her fiercely, and then said: "It's impossible not to throw Brother Xu down, I don't have any less affection for him than you have for him, but now I have to send you away first." β
Yan Zhenrui said absolutely, and Zhou Zhiqing was not angry. I couldn't help but want to refute. But she is no longer righteous in the end. After thinking for a while, he pressed the fire down before he said, "I...... What does the fight between you have to do with me? After all, I am a slave who takes care of Brother Xu. What's the matter with you. It doesn't involve me. β
She knew that Yan Zhenjue was using herself to contain Yan Zhenrui. But she privately felt that her status was low, and Yan Zhenrui was not the kind of person who had a long relationship with children, and when Yan Zhenjue found out that her influence on Yan Zhenrui was insignificant. Naturally, he will not be angry with her.
She just needs to take care of Brother Xu.
Yan Zhenrui couldn't laugh or cry. She said that she was a slave or a slave? The prince also has to believe in it, and they know each other's tacit things, which she can do by covering her ears and stealing the bell?
He said with some annoyance: "Who said it couldn't involve you? What is the purpose of him bringing you in? Do you think he'll let you go? In short, don't worry, I will pick up Brother Xu sooner or later. β
He didn't have so much patience to explain to Zhou Zhiqing, and in the end, his attitude was a little impatient.
Between the trade-offs, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, as long as she thinks of putting Brother Xu down, Zhou Zhiqing's heart is like a knife, she thinks with some resentment, she is just an ordinary woman, and there are not many people who have been sold into official slaves in this world, no matter what, even if she is in the corners, she will work hard to live.
But why is it so difficult for her to even live now? The matter between their brothers, why should she and Brother Xu be involved?
After pondering in her heart for a long time, Zhou Zhiqing looked at Yan Zhenrui cautiously and said, "I don't agree." β
She was afraid that Yan Zhenrui would lose her temper, so she hurriedly said, "Are you planning not to come back?" It doesn't matter, they don't bother me too much. β
What she wants to say is that even if Yan Zhenjue embarrasses her, she can't care so much, even if it is death, she is willing to die with Brother Xu.
No matter how much remorse Yan Zhenrui said, Zhou Zhiqing has little trust in him now. Whether he is auspicious or vicious, prosperous or downcast, she will certainly worry about it, but in the end she doesn't have such a deep affection.
But Brother Xu is different, she is unwilling to be separated from him again. In the past, she was suppressed by Yan Zhenrui, and the mother and son were in the same house but they couldn't see each other, so she hated and regretted to die, and now she finally has the opportunity for the mother and son to rely on each other, and she is not willing to give up no matter what.
Yan Zhenrui's eyes were dark, and he stared at Zhou Zhiqing for a long time, without saying a word. Zhou Zhiqing was chilled by him, and said carefully: "Did I say the wrong thing?" β
Yan Zhenrui pulled Zhou Zhiqing over, held her in his arms, forced her head to lie on his chest, and said after a while: "You should know that I used to have a concubine by my side. β
Zhou Zhiqing's body was really stiff and wanted to break free from his arms, but Yan Zhenrui's strength was so strong that her hands were pressed on the back of her neck, shoulders and backs, and she couldn't move.
Zhou Zhiqing nodded and said in a muffled voice: "I, I've heard of it." "It was the concubine who was caught by the enemy and cooked it alive in front of the two armies, and he devoured its flesh and talked and laughed......
Yan Zhenrui laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You also regard me as a murderer, right?" β
When everyone spread it, there were fears, fears, and sighs, but no one cared about what this person felt in his heart. When they looked at him, they already regarded him as a living Hades, and they were disgusted and scared even to look at him, so where did they care what he thought?
Zhou Zhiqing was silent, only shook her head in vain. To be honest, she really didn't want to be involved with him if she could.
Yan Zhenrui's chin was against her forehead, and the force was a little great, Zhou Zhiqing felt that his skin was about to be broken by him, and suddenly blessed his heart, and asked, "Are you afraid of me, and you will fall into that situation?" β
If the crown prince Yan Zhenjue really tied her up to him and asked him to kneel down and surrender, otherwise he would kill himself...... What will he do? And how should she deal with herself?
Just thinking about it, Zhou Zhiqing shuddered. Yes, everyone admires heroes, because when heroes are born, they carry the aura of saving the country and the people from fire and water. But what the hero himself and his relatives sacrificed and paid is unimaginable to ordinary people. Especially when you become the one who must be sacrificed to become a hero, who knows if there are regrets, complaints and unwillingness behind their courage to die?
Zhou Zhiqing thought, whether she was willing to sacrifice for his great cause and feelings, but if she was the one who was going to be steamed, it was impossible to say that she was not afraid.
She was scared, what about Yan Zhenrui, who talked and laughed and watched her beloved being killed in vain? Who knows what kind of mood he is in behind his calm and light?
Maybe he's more scared than anyone else, or maybe he'd rather die than himself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiqing stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Yan Zhenrui's waist and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
I never knew that the dilemma was such a painful choice, but at the crossroads of life, I could only make a choice, and I couldn't even make a balance between reason and emotion, so I didn't have so much time. (To be continued......)
