Chapter 120 I don’t know if he is pretending to be smart or really stupid
"Cough, cough, cough..." He Zhaojun choked on her own saliva and started coughing violently. This really fits Wen Ziduan's temperament. To put it bluntly, it's better not to do useless things.
As a minister, he could disregard life and death and was prepared to speak out against his superiors; as a son, he had to help Emperor Wen resolve his worries and prevent problems before they happened; as a friend, he even arranged a way out for He Zhaojun.
The only selfish motive he had was that he liked me, so he used the excuse of proposing to me.
But that couldn't hide the fact that he had arrogantly decided such a big thing without consulting her, even if she later learned that this was indeed the best solution. He Zhaojun was still angry, and she knew she had to vent her anger.
Before that, she had to let Wen Ziduan try it out, what was it like to punch cotton and feel the pain inexplicably?
Thinking of this, she pretended to understand and said, "Then I feel much more relieved."
"Why? An ordinary girl would have cried herself to death after hearing her fiancée say such things. Why are you so happy instead?" Concubine Yue also felt strange. The new wife of her own Sanlang was quite interesting.
He Zhaojun nodded quickly, her eyes lighting up. "I quite like a man like this. He's a hundred times better than those who throw everything away for petty love!"
"A capable person should love the people he loves and get what he wants, without missing out on either."
Concubine Yue shook her head: "Then he is plotting against you, don't you care?"
"How could I not care? I'm actually quite happy... If I had known that the Third Prince was so concerned, I would have treated him better."
The future emperor planned this just for her, which was the greatest affirmation of her own value. How could he not be happy?
Wen Ziduan was stunned. What did she say? Like?
"I planned this, and you're actually happy about it?"
He Zhaojun hummed, looking up somewhat embarrassedly: "Your Highness cares about the world and is always thinking about the people and the court. How can I be so worthy of Your Highness's consideration?"
Concubine Yue thought she had seen it wrong. Why was He Zhaojun shy? What was she shy about?!
"Before, I thought you were definitely trying to win over the He family and force me to choose between me and the He family. I felt that you were no different from His Majesty, so I was always depressed."
Wen Ziduan opened his mouth, unable to refute. This was a huge misunderstanding, but he didn't want to explain at all.
"But Your Highness just said that you only want me as a person. I can be of use to you! I understand this. From now on, there is no need to say that you like me. I know that is not Your Highness's true heart... Third Prince, please give me your orders, and I will obey them!"
"Besides, what you said is probably just the tip of the iceberg. I want to dispel your majesty's doubts. There are many unknown plots behind the scenes. You will do more for me."
Wen Ziduan felt a mixture of emotions. Why did she believe him so much when he said it was for her, not the He family? Did she have no doubt that this was just a high-sounding excuse?
"Do you know me well enough to make such a conclusion?!"
"Precisely because of this understanding, I was so nervous before, not daring to accept any kindness from unknown sources, fearing that they might have other ulterior motives and that I would be unable to fulfill them, thus disappointing His Highness."
Concubine Yue smiled faintly: "Now you know that beneath his beautiful appearance, he hides a black heart. He is openly exchanging equal value with you. Are you relieved?"
He Zhaojun nodded. "That's right. So, I suppose His Highness has something to ask of me every morning when he asks me to go to the Third Prince's residence to summon you? I wonder if I've done that."
Wen Ziduan's face froze, and his ears turned red. What else could it be? The moment he opened his eyes, he wanted to see you. Otherwise, how could he use this little bit of sweetness to get through the day of missing you?
Concubine Yue found his expression amusing and quickly asked He Zhaojun, "Tell me about it. Let me guess. What is this little demon with hollow eyelashes thinking?"
"On the first day, did you and the concubine in the room do it on purpose for me to see?" He Zhaojun asked.
Wen Ziduan hurriedly defended himself: "Listen to my explanation, actually she..." It was an accident. The concubine ran over by herself and was an eyesore. He was worried that He Zhaojun would mind this and create a rift between them.
"I know! You want to use my identity to clean up the spies and agents sent by various forces in your backyard, right?" He Zhaojun opened her eyes wide with an expression that said, "I knew it."
She raised the corner of her mouth. Wen Ziduan, how does it feel to have your feelings ignored and your feelings denied?
Wen Ziduan was dumbfounded.
He Zhaojun is really smart.
