The sky outside was as dark as if it was covered with a thick layer of paint. Gu Qingsheng was panting. In the darkness, Liu Yanqiu's eyes were even more passionate.
"Why?"
Liu Yanqiu asked back
"That's a prison cell, a big jail, and those who are locked up there are all guilty people."
"You're in jail, and you told me you wouldn't let me save you. Did you go there voluntarily?"
Gu Qingsheng bit his lower lip after being choked by these words.
She really couldn't answer this question.
If I really came in voluntarily, Liu Yanqiu would definitely question me thoroughly.
Liu Yanqiu doesn’t know that she is Princess Changle, nor does she know that her last name is Gu. If she knew, what would her reaction be?
He'll probably blackmail me.
Gu Qingsheng shook his head and sighed, resigned to his fate and said to Liu Yanqiu,
"Well, thank you Mr. Liu for saving me."
"Where are you going now? How about going out with me to avoid the limelight?"
"No."
She refused Liu Yanqiu. Since she was rescued in such an inexplicable way, she should go back to the palace first and think about what to do.
"I'd better go back first..."
Halfway through his words, Gu Qingsheng felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.
…
The room was filled with soothing smoke, which rose into the sky and surrounded Luo Zhaozhao who was lying on the bed.
Ever since Baolan left, Luo Zhaozhao refused the new maid assigned to her by Gu Miao and did everything herself, so there are not many people guarding her now.
Before he knew it, Chu Zhiyao was standing in front of Luo Zhaozhao's bed.
His condition was not much different from a few days ago. His eyes were bloodshot, and a low roar came from his throat. He was looking at Luo Zhaozhao with a bloodthirsty look, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
In the general's mansion, a hole appeared on the door that was locked by Chu Zhiyao.
Now unconscious, he followed his instinct and slowly reached out his hand to Luo Zhaozhao as he did before.
When he touched Luo Zhaozhao just a little, Luo Zhaozhao, who was still sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were empty and numb, without a trace of light in them.
She no longer struggled like she did in previous times. She just looked at Chu Zhiyao approaching her. His palm was so close that Luo Zhaozhao didn't even dodge.
It was like a bottomless ocean turned into dead water, with no trace of life in it.
It was this look that made Chu Zhiyao, who was now unconscious, shrink back.
"You, kill me, General."
Luo Zhaozhao's voice was also lifeless, without a trace of vitality, as if Chu Zhiyao would just laugh it off as if nothing happened to her.
"Kill me, General, at least then I can still be myself."
"Ever since Baolan disappeared and that person impersonated her, I've had no other ideas."
"Now, I'm blind and have an arranged marriage. I'm never myself again. I'm always being controlled by others."
"General, please kill me. This body is no longer clean! After you kill me, you can do whatever you want to me. I just ask you..."
"Please..."
As she spoke, she finally showed her first emotion of the night, and a clear tear slowly flowed from her eyes like the dead sea.
"At least let me leave like a human being."
A thunderclap struck Chu Zhiyao's heart hard.
His body trembled a little, and he looked at Luo Zhaozhao's face, staring at those eyes in disbelief.
In the previous life, these eyes were vivid, vivid and clever beyond compare.
I've never seen her like this before.
Did I shatter all my dreams?
Obviously, as long as he did nothing, Luo Zhaozhao would be his in the end, so why was he so anxious...
Countless chaotic thoughts rang in Chu Zhiyao's mind, and his brain felt as if countless lead had poured into it, causing unbearable pain.
A feeling of terror gradually emerged in his heart, but no matter how fierce the rational sadness was, the poisonous insect in his blood still attacked again without mercy.
With tears in his eyes and bloodshot eyes, he finally couldn't control his body and bent down.
Luo Zhaozhao closed his eyes in despair, feeling the coming storm.
…
"Your Majesty, it's late, time to go to bed."
Eunuch Li brought the emperor a cup of tea and reminded him in a low voice.
The candlelight was bright at night. The emperor was exhausted. He rubbed his brows and rinsed his mouth with tea.
"It's quite late."
"That's right."
He put down his tea and put away the memorial, as if he had thought of something, and asked Eunuch Li
"What happened to the governor's daughter, Luo Zhaozhao? Can she be rescued?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Luo is fine. The doctors said she just caught a cold and had a shock. She will be fine after two days of rest. However, I heard she is still in a coma."
The emperor nodded and sighed
"When she wakes up, let her go home. She has been causing chaos in the palace. I heard that her eyes were injured some time ago. If something happens again, it will be difficult to deal with."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the emperor's words, Eunuch Li bowed, holding a blanket in his hands. As the sky gradually brightened, he gave another reminder.
The emperor stood up and took a few steps when a young eunuch came out from the door and knelt down to report.
"Your Majesty, General Chu is here."
Originally, the emperor was in a relatively calm mood tonight and had not thought about Chu Zhiyao's affairs. When this man's name appeared, he was stunned.
This criminal who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, why is he not staying at home and hiding now, but has come to my door?
Chu Zhiyao has a special identity, and the emperor has not yet decided how to deal with this matter. Some people in the court have also pleaded for him.
This kind of thing is big or small.
However, the emperor never expected that he would be so bold as to actually come to him on his own.
"What's he doing here?"
The emperor, who had just stood up, sat down again. Eunuch Li wisely covered the blanket on the emperor's legs and nodded slightly to the young eunuch.
After the young eunuch left, Chu Zhiyao came in soon.
But this time he seemed a little hurried, his face was pale, his clothes were even a little crooked, and his bag was not tied properly.
The hair crown on her head was also crooked, and the emotions at the corners of her eyes and mouth were still lingering.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem. The emperor naturally understands what this means, and immediately his brows are filled with anger.
"General Chu, entering the palace with this attitude, really doesn't take me seriously?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Chu Zhiyao knelt on one knee and lowered his head
"I know I have no right to speak before His Majesty, and I should wait at home for His Majesty's decision. However, there is something very important that has compelled me to disturb His Majesty at this late hour!"
"Your Majesty, please listen to me! After this matter is over, I will leave it to Your Majesty to deal with!"
