Zhang Tong looked at Ye Zeyu with great anticipation. She refused to believe that Ye Zeyu could remain unmoved after hearing so much from her!
Fearing that Ye Zeyu wouldn't believe what she said, she even took out the crossbow model she had made from her sleeve.
"Look, this is what I made. Isn't it ingenious! Just press here, and it can fire arrows continuously. If you poison the arrows, a few dozen men can be as good as a thousand soldiers!"
She majored in mechanical engineering in college and thought she would be unemployed after graduation. Unexpectedly, she was transported to ancient times and had the opportunity to shine!
Just as Zhang Tong was feeling smug and looking forward to the future.
Ye Zeyu's large hand suddenly gripped her neck, silencing her completely.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Ye Zeyu in disbelief, not understanding why he would treat her like this.
Is it because they suspect she's entrapping them, or because they suspect she's just spouting nonsense?
Seeing Zhang Tong struggling and distressed, Ye Zeyu's murderous intent grew stronger.
Although he wouldn't lay a hand on women normally, it doesn't mean he'd show them any mercy.
She was the emperor's woman, yet she had her eyes on other men.
Damn it!
Having designs on him will inevitably hurt Xi'er.
Damn it!
If she could actually do all those things she just mentioned, then she deserves to die even more!
Because Zhang Tong didn't want the State of Qi to become rich and powerful; she only wanted it for herself.
Today she can love him, and betray her father.
He might betray him one day for someone else!
If she were to defect to the enemy state with what she claimed to have, she would be leaving behind countless hidden dangers for the State of Qi!
Most importantly, he simply couldn't give Zhang Tong what she wanted.
Because his wife can only be Xi'er!
Just as Ye Zeyu was about to deliver the fatal blow and snap Zhang Tong's neck, a pebble flew swiftly toward his face, forcing him to let go and step back, giving Zhang Tong a chance to catch his breath.
Zhang Tong gasped for breath, looking at Ye Zeyu with eyes full of grievance, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why?! Don't you believe what I just said? Ye Zeyu, I truly love you!"
Although her eyes were full of affection, her body betrayed her, and she subconsciously took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and Ye Zeyu.
Ye Zeyu looked in the direction from which the pebbles came, but did not see anyone.
After a moment of contemplation, he prepared to take action again.
In short, he cannot let Zhang Tong live!
Just then, the laughter of several palace maids came from not far away.
Zhang Tong saw the murderous intent in Ye Zeyu's eyes and said, "If you make another move, I will shout loudly, and then we'll both die!"
His tone was resolute, tinged with resentment.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu had no choice but to stop. After all, this was the imperial palace, and although Zhang Tong's rank was not high, he would not be able to explain himself to his father if he killed someone.
The Bai family might make a big fuss about it, accusing him of promiscuity in the harem and murder to cover it up.
Seeing that Ye Zeyu didn't make a move, Zhang Tong pressed him for an answer again.
"Why do you want to kill me? Do you suspect I'm one of Ye Zerui's men and are you testing me on purpose?"
"Ye Ziyu, I swear to God, I really want to help you, and I really like you. Believe me, everything I just said is true!"
Zhang Tong was filled with grievances and looked somewhat agitated.
But Ye Ziyu coldly replied, "Wishful thinking, utter nonsense!"
Zhang Tong couldn't believe her ears.
Is she just wishful thinking?
Does she not understand?
Ignoring the disbelief in Zhang Tong's eyes, Ye Zeyu quickly left the area before the palace maids arrived.
Fortunately, Zhang Tong is still in the palace and can't escape.
However, he will get rid of Zhang Tong as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
As for General Zhang, he could only silently apologize.
He squeezed the small repeating crossbow that he had tucked into his sleeve.
Ye Ziyu felt no reluctance whatsoever.
Even if he could do everything Zhang Tong said, it wouldn't be even a fraction of what his Xi'er could do!
Zhang Tong stood there for a long time, and even when the palace maids bowed to her and left, she did not react at all.
Zhang Tong didn't make a move until a thin eunuch who looked to be in his twenties walked over from a distance.
"Master, are you alright?"
"Xiao Anzi, if you were Ye Zeyu, would you fall in love with me?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch Xiao Anzi's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. He stammered for a long time, only saying that he dared not.
But Zhang Tong insisted on getting a definite answer.
Xiao Anzi took a deep breath and said earnestly, "If I were Prince Yong'an, I would certainly like you, Master!"
He was sold into the palace as a child and has never been treated like a human being.
It wasn't until he met Zhang Cairen that he realized he could also be cared for and treated kindly.
Lady Zhang told them that everyone is equal, and that there is no distinction between noble and lowly people. She also said that they were forced to become eunuchs and should not feel inferior to others.
They won't be allowed to kneel down all the time, and they'll be allowed to eat at the same table.
I tell them stories, teach them to read, and even stand up for them.
His master trusted him the most and told him about his liking for Prince Yong'an.
Upon learning of his master's intentions, he felt envious, envious of the Prince of Yong'an's status, and even more envious of the Prince of Yong'an's ability to gain his master's favor.
My lady is beautiful and kind; she should be cherished by every man in the world.
I never expected the Prince of Yong'an to treat his master that way!
If he hadn't managed to hit Prince Yong'an with his slingshot in time, his master would probably be dead by now...
"My lord, please don't be sad. If you ask me, it's Prince Yong'an who doesn't know what's good for him. He'll definitely regret it in the future!"
