Luo Qingzhi came to the city wall, and Gao Zhen rode a tall horse and looked up at her.

They were speechless, and neither of them spoke.

Jin Ziji had already regained his original appearance, and he roared loudly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we have no intention of provoking a war, as long as you hand over the jade seal, we will withdraw our troops immediately, neither Your Majesty nor you will be harmed."

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen, "What do you mean?"

「......」

Gao Zhen stared at Luo Qingzhi for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Ah Luo, I never wanted to hurt you."

Luo Qingzhi laughed shamefully, "You don't want to hurt me?" She paused for a moment, "Since I returned to Jinling, you have been lying to me, maybe earlier, that poisoning was also your handiwork."

Gao Zhen shook his head repeatedly, "No, it's really not."

Luo Qingzhi felt obvious anger, she suppressed this emotion, exhaled, and continued, "You don't want to go to war, and I don't want to, then, let's negotiate."

Gao Zhen agreed, "Okay."

Jin Ziji couldn't help but shake his head.

Luo Qingzhi said, "The pastry shop outside the city walls."

"Okay." Gao Zhen nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Luo Qingzhi spit out a mouthful of blood the moment she turned around, and Yuan Ying helped her and walked down the city tower.

But in the eyes of Gao Zhen under the city, what he saw was Yuan Ying holding her waist.

Luo Qingzhi "shhh

Wonyoung frowned and handed her his handkerchief.

Luo Qingzhi wiped the blood on her lips and took out another pill to eat.

Yuan Ying still couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, are you really okay?"

"It's fine." Luo Qingzhi shook her head.

Luo Qingzhi said, "I didn't see Qin Shu just now, but, I think, he must be nearby, after I leave the city, you wait at the city wall for a while, he should come to look for you."

"Your Highness believes in Qin Shu? My subordinates can hear that when they were in Yuzhou and Jiangzhou, the two of them were very close."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I believe him."

Yuan Ying no longer retorted, and asked, "Is there anything you need to bring to him?"

Luo Qingzhi said, "Rescue my uncle and grandfather."

Yuan Ying nodded, "Understood."

After ordering everything, Luo Qingzhi rode out of the palace alone and came to the pastry shop.

Gao Zhen arrived early, "Hibiscus cake is being made, it will be ready soon, you wait."

Luo Qingzhi's purpose was to delay time, so she was not in a hurry, she was just thinking about how to extend this time.

Gao Zhen saw that Luo Qingzhi didn't speak, and hurriedly explained, "That time, it really wasn't me, Ah Luo, don't think so badly of me."

Luo Qingzhi followed the topic and said, "Now that this is the case, why don't you let me be an understanding person."

「……」

Gao Zhen lowered his head and looked like he was admitting his mistake.

Luo Qingzhi asked, "When did it start?"

「……」

Gao Zhen said slowly, "Thirteen years ago, after the palace change."

Luo Qingzhi didn't expect that she would start so early, thinking of what Xia Ji had told her before, Gao Yan's judgment was also a palace change.

"Jin Zhuo found you?" Luo Qingzhi continued to ask.

Gao Zhen nodded, "He found his mother and me, but at that time, I was still young, and I didn't know what they were discussing, I just listened."

"Master, the hibiscus cake is ready."

The store brought the hibiscus cake, but Luo Qingzhi did not move.

"You get out."

The shopkeeper glanced at it uneasily, but still obeyed the order to go out.

"You go on." Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen.

Gao Zhen asked, "I can tell you anything you want to know, but can you not be angry?"

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, and made a look like she was leaving.

"I said." Gao Zhen panicked and took her hand

。

Luo Qingzhi sat back down, and Gao Zhen said, "I did not know about the drug of the mother concubine until later, but I didn't take the initiative to say it, because, I found out, in this way, I can get close to you..."

"What I say to you, it's true, I love you, I want to be with you forever, it's true."

Luo Qingzhi tried to hold back her disgusting appearance and asked, "The matter of Ningzhou, because relying on Jin Ziji, you know the intentions of the first emperor, so you will plan and take advantage of the situation to obtain the power of the Mu family army and the secret guard."

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhi continued to ask, "Since your mother and concubine left, the one who colluded with Jin Zhuo has become you."

「… Yes."

Luo Qingzhi smiled, "So, that night, the night I lost my memory, the person who wanted me to die was you!"

"No!" Gao Zhen was a little excited and explained, "Jin Zhuo did it from me, I don't know."

Luo Qingzhi smiled, but she no longer believed it in her heart, she suddenly blamed herself, it turned out that in those two years, Gao Yan was protecting herself, and even wanted to fulfill herself.

The strong sense of guilt made her a little unable to control her emotions, and she pressed her chest.

Gao Zhen asked, "Ah Luo, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Qingzhi's eyes were sharp, "That's enough, stop being hypocritical..."

Gao Zhen said solemnly, "Although I have hidden it from you, I have never been hypocritical."

Luo Qingzhi turned her back, took out Yuanying's handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Gao Zhen was instantly displeased, "Ah Luo, have you really liked me?"

「……」

Before Luo Qingzhi could answer, Gao Zhen continued: "If you think about it carefully, in fact, you never said it, but I mistakenly thought that you liked my feelings."

「……」

Luo Qingzhi was looking at the sky outside the window, estimating that there was still an hour before dawn, and she was thinking about how to continue to delay time.

Gao Zhen saw Luo Qingzhi's hesitation, frowned, and said, "Now, don't you even want to perfunctory me?"

Luo Qingzhi came back to her senses, "Do you still believe what I say now?"

Gao Zhen nodded, "Naturally, I believe it."

Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "I like you, and I really wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests with you."

Gao Zhen grabbed the handle, "So, you don't like it now, do you?"

"And what do you want this answer for? Do you think we can still do this situation?" Luo Qingzhi said helplessly.

「……」

Gao Zhen took her hand, "When I become the emperor, you will be my only queen, and no one will separate us."

Luo Qingzhi broke free of her hand, "I don't understand, since when did you have such a big obsession with this emperor's position."

"When?" Gao Zhen smiled, "Starting from the fact that you choose him every time between me and Gao Yan."

Luo Qingzhi was stunned, and wanted to refute, but after thinking about the past carefully, it was indeed as he said, she chose Gao Yan.

"The court can't be chaotic." Luo Qingzhi said lightly.

"What's the mess!" Gao Zhen began to get emotional, "Gao Yan, the court, the people, everyone can be the reason for you to give up on me and leave me."

"Luo Qingzhi!" Gao Zhen grabbed her arm, "You're not a god, you're just a pawn used by their Gao family, why bother to make yourself so tired?"

「……」

Gao Zhen slowly let go of his hand, realizing that he shouldn't have said something like that.

I wanted to explain, but I thought angrily, she didn't care anyway.

Luo Qingzhi opened his mouth and said, "You have been to Yuzhou and been on the battlefield, and at this time, you still feel that this is someone else's business..."

Gao Zhen stared at Luo Qingzhi and said sternly, "What does it matter to me whether they live or die!"

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "Erlang, as the bloodline of the Luo family, how can you say such a thing."

This

Next time, it was Gao Zhen's turn to be stunned.

"When did you know?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Qingzhi replied, "On the same day you know."

Gao Zhen panicked instantly, "Ah Luo, no, no, you can't restore your identity, I can't let you be the empress."

"I never thought about it!" Luo Qingzhi interrupted Gao Zhen's words, "I've never thought of it like this."

Gao Zhen said, "You don't want to, but they want to!"

"They want to tie you up in that position, so that you can continue to work for the Gao family and continue to do what you don't want to do."

Luo Qingzhi exhaled, "So, it's because of this that you want to get these desperately?"

「……」

Gao Zhen did not deny it.

Luo Qingzhi said, "Erlang, things are not so bad, there are other ways."

Gao Zhen shook his head, "I'm not the Gao Zhen I used to be, I've crossed it, there's no other way..."

Luo Qingzhi approached him a few points and said, "If you want to get that throne, then go ahead, but let's get it in another way and get it in a dignified manner, okay?"

「……」

At the root of the city wall, Yuan Ying waited for Qin Shu.

Yuan Ying said, "Time is running out, I'll make a long story short, Your Highness hopes that you can rescue the two Baili Lords."

Qin Shu frowned, "Shang Shu has inconvenienced the legs and feet of the adults, and Lord Zhongcheng is weak, I can't rescue the two adults at the same time."

For a while, neither of them had a better way, and Yuan Ying couldn't leave the imperial city.

Qin Shu sighed, "It would be nice if there were still people coming at this time."

"Looks like I'm back just in time." Feng Zinan said.

Qin Shu was pleasantly surprised, "It's just the right time to come back."

Yuan Ying said, "In this case, then, the two of you are responsible for rescuing Lord Baili, and I will protect Your Highness."

Feng Zinan said, "When you see Your Highness, tell her that everything is ready."

"Understood."

The three separated, and when Yuan Ying passed by the palace gate, he saw Luo Qingzhi head-on.

Yuan Ying's first reaction was that the matter was not negotiated, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it going well?"

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "No, it's negotiated."

"Go back first." Luo Qingzhi said.

Yuan Ying followed behind Luo Qingzhi, and after returning to the study, Luo Qingzhi said, "As soon as the morning dawns, Gao Zhen will pretend to enter the palace to negotiate."

Luo Qingzhi continued, "Then, you open the city gates, set up an ambush in Weng City, and shoot Jin Ziji."

Yuan Ying nodded, "Okay."

Luo Qingzhi continued: "You can only know about this matter, and don't tell anyone else."

Yuan Ying nodded, "Yes, my subordinates understand."

Luo Qingzhi emphasized, "Remember, no matter what the cost, you must kill Jin Ziji."

"Even if it hurts someone else." Yuan Ying asked.

"Yes, even if it hurts someone else." Luo Qingzhi replied.

"My subordinates understand."
