Seeing Mo Lan's resolute attitude, Qin Su wondered if the night they poured out their hearts to each other was just a dream.
Why does this woman's gaze show absolutely no tenderness towards her lover?
"They say fortune favors the bold. If this succeeds, I promise you unimpeded travel throughout the world. Of course, if you're willing, we can make a written promise, the kind with your signature and fingerprint."
As Qin Su spoke, he sat up straight and stared intently at Mo Lan. Once the world was pacified, he would promise her the title of Empress; then, they would be the most honored people in the land.
"What do you want to do? You don't want me to rebel, do you?"
Mo Lan followed his example, sitting up straight and looking at him with disbelief.
"Open your eyes and look at me. Where on my body do I have a rebellious streak?"
Mo Lan suppressed her emotions, raised her hand to touch her face, paused for a moment, and then looked up again. Although there was a smile in her eyes, her mind was clear. When it came to life and death, she was never careless or accommodating, and she would never let any emotion interfere.
"Ahem... If you really want to cooperate with me, let me lead a rebellion, and then share the throne, Qin Su, allow me to boast a little. If I really had such ambition, I would just start my own rebellion. Why would I do the work for someone else?"
Even if the two are close friends who can talk about anything, Qin Su shouldn't make such a rude request, right?
Let her bear the stigma of rebellion and fight for his kingdom. Even if he gains unparalleled merit, what good will it do? She will still be a subject subservient to him. If she really has such great ambition, why not establish herself as queen?
Hearing Mo Lan's tone and seeing the disapproval in her eyes, Qin Su suddenly stood up from his chair.
"In your heart, am I such a heartless and ungrateful person? Is that what you think of me?"
What does it mean to do something for someone else's benefit? Does this woman still consider him an outsider?
If that's the case, why bother stirring his heartstrings?
They've won people's hearts, and now they're going back on their word. What are they anyway?
Suddenly, he felt a little uncertain. Was it just wishful thinking on his part that night when the two of them poured out their hearts to each other?
Mo Lan blinked, puzzled, at Qin Su's agitated state.
"Huh? You didn't want me to rebel with you?"
This guy is acting like he's been abandoned, which looks weird. But since it's not about making her rebel, everything else is negotiable.
Qin Su: "...Do you think rebellion is so easy?"
Sometimes, he really wanted to crack open this woman's head to see what was inside.
Thinking about the help he had sought, Qin Su suddenly felt deflated. In fact, Mo Lan was right; the help he needed this time had indeed put her at a great risk.
"I did come to you this time because I have a favor to ask. What you said is true; there are indeed risks involved. Although it may be a bit of a stretch, with proper planning, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
As Qin Su spoke, he coughed awkwardly, looking embarrassed. "I know you have a powerful team under your command. Could you create some unrest in the north? Of course, you can keep your whereabouts hidden and not expose yourself."
"Also, your painted boat is almost finished and I'd like to borrow it for a while. Is that alright?"
After Qin Su finished speaking, he looked at Mo Lan's furrowed brows and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Hearing Qin Su's tone, Mo Lan frowned. Using the pleasure boat was fine, but what was this about creating a disturbance?
