Zuan said calmly, "What, you still can't forget him?"
Xiao Tu remained silent. How could she so easily forget the time they spent together as childhood sweethearts?
Zuan said coldly, "Xiao Tuo, many things require a pledge of loyalty, otherwise how can you expect me to completely trust you?"
Xiao Tuo bit his lip, knelt on the ground and begged Zu An for forgiveness: "Xiao Tuo knows that he cannot convince the king, nor can he betray Brother Lian. I beg the king to grant me death."
"Can't bring yourself to betray Lian?" Zu'an chuckled. "Didn't you do much last night?"
Xiao Tuo's face immediately turned crimson. She knew that she had slept with him before in order to complete a mission, so she had a clear conscience.

“I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Zuan changed the subject, “If he doesn’t trust you and doesn’t follow this intelligence, then from now on, forget the past and follow me wholeheartedly, how about that?”
Xiao Tuo opened her mouth, a thousand words welling up in her heart in that instant, but in the end, they all boiled down to one word: "Okay!"
She was also very curious about what Lian would ultimately choose.
Seeing Xiao Tuo's anxious expression, Zu An smiled slightly. In fact, he never thought that Xiao Tuo would actually choose to pledge his allegiance.
If she agrees without hesitation, Zuan will be displeased. After all, how can he trust a woman who can easily betray even her childhood sweetheart?
But if she keeps thinking about her ex, that's not a good solution either, as it will make it even harder for him to completely trust her.
So he used this method. Although Xiao Tuo was full of expectations, he knew very well that there was only one outcome.
Human nature cannot withstand testing.
