After Bazhuo returned...
Hazi asked immediately.
"How did it go? Was it successful?"
Bazhuo nodded.
"Everything went smoothly, and she accepted!"
Hazi breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, otherwise I was really worried that we would have to come up with a new plan!"
Bazhuo said to Hazi.
"Don't worry, Lan Zhuo is my devoted admirer. No matter what I do to hurt her, she won't be angry. That's the advantage of a woman who is so infatuated."
Hazi nodded.
"But wouldn't that be a bit unfair to Lan Zhuo's sincere feelings for you?"
Bazhuo immediately grabbed Hazi's hand and said.
"Hazi, in my eyes, only you deserve my true heart. I don't care about anyone else's sincerity! You don't need to think so much. No one forced Lan Zhuo to like me. It was all her own choice. Since there's a pawn delivered to our door, why not use it!"
Hazi nodded.
"Um!"
So you're just an idiot!
You said you took advantage of Lan Zhuo's sincerity, but haven't I taken advantage of yours too?
{However, don't worry, I'll let you leave without any pain! Rest assured! I, Hazi, mean what I say. After all, you were my pawn; how could I bear to let you leave in such agony!?}
Ye Qianqian listened to everything from the sidelines.
My heart was trembling.
This is terrifying! This is what true malice looks like!
Being cunning and having a heart of stone are two different things!
Aunt Xu is cunning, but she never intentionally harms others. Instead, she only reacts when someone does something to hurt her!
[My mother wouldn't intentionally harm anyone; her cunning is only used for forced defense!]
Therefore, someone like Hazi is bound to be the one to take the initiative in the power struggles of the harem. However, if she encounters someone even more formidable than herself, Hazi's fate is certain death!
[Even seasoned palace intrigue experts like the Empress Dowager and Consort Xu could see at a glance that Hazi had ulterior motives!]
[Those tactics and methods are not unfamiliar to us!]
I wonder what Bazhuo's feelings were when Haz attacked him!
Lan Zhuo quickly found He Zhuo.
She told him what Bazhuo had asked her to do.
He Zhuo nodded.
“Very good, everything is going according to plan now. As long as we handle things properly, we can succeed. I have prepared everything. After we meet tonight, we can proceed according to plan.”
"Um!"
Lan Zhuo nodded.
"Actually, this was something we could have done by exposing them and then killing them!"
"But now it seems that the greatest punishment for them is to torment them thoroughly, to make them go from being full of confidence at the beginning to discovering that all their conspiracies have been exposed and then falling into despair!"
"Let Hazi see for himself how much of a failure her proud plan is. But I'm a little worried about the princess now."
He Zhuo nodded.
"I understand."
"After all, Mother Consort treated Hazi as her own daughter. Now that she knows Hazi betrayed her, she must be very sad."
"But there's no other way. We have to let Mother see Hazi's true colors. It's better than dying under Hazi's sword one day and dying without knowing why."
That evening.
He Zhuo and Lan Zhuo then went to the Imperial Garden.
Bazhuo was already waiting for the two of them in the pavilion.
The festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is still there.
The palace remained peaceful, with red lanterns everywhere.
After seeing He Zhuo.
Bazhuo immediately stood up.
"prince."
He Zhuo walked over.
He sat down next to Bazhuo.
“Lan Zhuo has already told me that you want to see me and apologize for what happened before.”
Bazhuo nodded.
“Indeed, Your Highness. During the competition, I always thought that our Great Tu Kingdom could not lose to the prince of the Great Yuan Kingdom, but I forgot that harmony is the most important thing. Even if we really have to decide a winner, we should compete fairly, not take advantage of others.”
"I saw the prince's spirit and vision clearly on the field. I have to say, the prince is indeed much better than me."
He Zhuo listened to these flattering remarks.
They didn't listen at all.
He waved his hand and said.
"I did this for the sake of our great nation."
"Although our strength is now roughly equal to that of the Great Yuan Kingdom, we must be even more careful. After all, there are always some people who want to provoke a war between our two countries and then reap the benefits. How can we let such a thing happen!"
Hearing this, Ba Zhuo couldn't help but feel guilty.
He could only awkwardly reply.
"The prince is absolutely right!"
He Zhuo said to Ba Zhuo.
"After tonight, go find Prince Ye Chen."
"Then apologize to him. Ye Chen isn't the kind of person who lacks magnanimity."
"As long as you apologize sincerely, he will definitely forgive you."
Bazhuo nodded.
"That's natural."
However.
But Bazhuo was thinking about something else.
{What's there to apologize for?}
We have now successfully rebelled and are just waiting for Mu Zhuo to lead his army to attack the Yuan Dynasty!
{If we kill the Emperor, kill you, and kill Aozhuo, then the Great Yuan Kingdom will belong to us!}
By then, your body will have turned to ashes!
{He Zhuo, don't blame me for being so heartless!}
For Hazi's sake, I must go to this extent!
{Hazi is the woman I love most; I would give anything for her!}
Ye Qianqian continued to watch all of this from the shadows.
[Wow, what a brave warrior charging forward for love! His courage is truly commendable!]
[I'd really risk everything for Hazi!]
However, tonight, Bazhuo, is your death day!
[You've arranged for people to wait. He Zhuo's drunk and passed out; that won't do. Carry him away, pretending to take him home, but kill him on the way!]
[When the time comes, just frame He Zhuo, saying he was plotting to assassinate the emperor. Once you discover this, just kill him!]
[Then you can claim credit!]
【But my father isn't an idiot! He's seen these tricks of yours since we were kids. Honestly, these are methods my father already used up; how can anyone still use them? There's absolutely no progress!】
Ba Zhuo poured He Zhuo a glass of wine.
"Prince, drink this cup, and we'll still be brothers."
He Zhuo nodded.
"good!"
Then He Zhuo picked up his wine glass.
