With the same sadness as Daiyu burying the flowers, she raised her hand and threw the peony flowers back into the bushes.
With tears in her eyes, she looked sideways at the mountains in the distance and said sadly to the King of Jin, "Just tell me what you want to say, and leave immediately. The General's Mansion is now a place of trouble, and you can't stay."
Prince Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhu Wuhuan.
Wuhuan seems a little different today.
He was confused for a moment, but then he thought that the Zhu family was going to be executed, so it was normal for Wuhuan to have emotional changes, and he put his doubts behind him.
He walked over to Zhu Wuhuan.
"Since Wuhuan wants me to talk about business, then I will talk about business first. This matter is indeed extremely urgent."
He lowered his voice and said, "Wuhuan, I came here today to save people."
Zhu Wuhuan suddenly looked at him sideways, with a hint of surprise in his eyes!
"Save people? Prince Jin, can you save our Zhu family?"
Meeting her expectant gaze, Prince Jin lowered his head with some regret.
"I'm sorry, Wuhuan. I'm just a prince, not an emperor. I can't save everyone in your Zhu family. But I can help your Zhu family preserve some of their bloodline."
When he said this, he looked up at Zhu Wuhuan again.
He made a solemn promise.
"Wuhuan, I can save your youngest brother, Chengying. I can help him escape this disaster safely. I can raise him well and have him rebuild the Zhu family in the future."
Zhu Wuhuan was not very happy to hear this. She looked at King Jin in despair and stumbled back two steps. "So I can only save one person..."
She murmured sadly, "I wish my family would be full of seventy-six people, but you can only save one person... one person..."
Such superb acting skills not only made King Jin believe her sadness and despair, but the system also wanted to applaud her!
She continued to perform, and after being in a daze for a few seconds, she slowly raised her hand, looking as if she was crying and laughing, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
She looked at King Jin bitterly and forced a smile, "It's good to be alone... Really, if anyone can escape, it's good to be alone."
She took a deep breath and asked, "How is Prince Jin going to save my Chengying? What does the Zhu family need to do?"
Prince Jin opened his mouth, but seemed to find it difficult to speak, so he stared at Zhu Wuhuan in silence.
Zhu Wuhuan also stared at him.
After the two looked at each other for half a minute, King Jin looked at the mountains in the distance and spoke in a low voice.
"Wuhuan, the method I'm going to tell you next might be a little hard for you to accept..."
"But for the sake of your brother's life, and to preserve the last bit of bloodline for your Zhu family. I hope you will listen to me and think carefully."
He closed his eyes and continued.
"The solution I'm suggesting is to let Chengying act as our child."
"As long as Chengying is still a member of the Zhu family, he will definitely not escape this disaster. But if Chengying is my own flesh and blood, he is of royal blood! Then I can go and ask my mother to ask my brother to show some mercy to Chengying."
He glanced at Zhu Wuhuan and said, "Wuhuan, if you want to save Chengying's life, this is the only way."
"..." Zhu Wuhuan stared at King Jin with eyes wide open in disbelief!
She acted frightened and refused repeatedly, "Chengying is my brother. How can I let him pretend to be our son? No! Isn't this a mess? Absolutely not!"
While acting, she was also complaining madly to the system in her heart——
[Holy shit, holy shit, this King of Jin is so cruel! How could he even come up with such a despicable scheme?]
If he truly wanted to save the Zhu family and preserve the Zhu family bloodline, even though this method was a bit melodramatic, I can still praise him for his good intentions!
[But he's obviously not! He's obviously doing this to trick the Zhu family, okay?]
[He was afraid that the dog tyrant would hate the Zhu family and Empress Zhu to death!]
[I finally understand why Empress Zhu died such a tragic death in history, and why the tyrant Feng Changye tortured his first wife with the bone-drunken torture!]
He believed his brother, the Prince of Jin, and Empress Zhu had a six-year-old son. In his eyes, the two had been married seven years prior, even having a child, yet Empress Zhu had still pretended to be a virgin and married him. Even an ordinary man, even if he were cuckolded, would be dizzy and vomit blood!
[As for the Zhu family, they are not innocent either! In his eyes, the Zhu family knew that there was something fishy going on between Queen Zhu and Prince Jin, yet they helped them raise their illegitimate child while marrying Queen Zhu to him. Under such misunderstandings, would he still believe in the Zhu family's loyalty to him?]
He would naturally conclude that none of the Zhu family were good people, that they were all traitors who were trying to fool him! The Zhu family was already charged with treason, and now they were charged with fooling the emperor. They still wanted to survive? Dream on!
"..." Feng Changye in the pavilion heard Zhu Wuhuan's inner thoughts clearly.
He suddenly looked up and looked at Prince Jin Feng Changjin in disbelief!
He actually wanted the six-year-old son of the Zhu family to pretend to be Zhu Wuhuan and his illegitimate son?
This method is indeed quite insidious! Quite vicious!
He will not stop until Zhu Wuhuan is killed. No one can think of such a vicious way to deceive a woman he has been with for several years!
At least he, a man who has been called a tyrant for more than a thousand years, would not treat his own woman like this!
Feng Changye stared coldly at Prince Jin's back with a fierce look in his eyes.
He had originally thought of imprisoning Prince Jin, and now, this idea has become even stronger!
This kind of vicious person will do anything to achieve his goal. Who knows what kind of trouble he will cause if we continue to tolerate him showing off outside?
He doesn't want to repeat the historical trajectory and die suddenly three years later!
...in the garden.
King Jin felt helpless when he saw that Zhu Wuhuan refused to let Chengying pretend to be their son.
"Wuhuan, I know this is hard to accept. But do you want to watch Chengying die? Nothing is more important than staying alive."
He continued to coax.
"Besides, this is just a temporary solution."
"After Chengying survives, when he and I can clear the Zhu family's grievances, I will restore his status as the Zhu family's son."
"I swear to you, I won't let him live with the unclear reputation of our illegitimate son."
He tried to grab Zhu Wuhuan's hand.
"Wuhuan, to save your brother and preserve the bloodline of your Zhu family, I am willing to risk the wrath of the world. I am not afraid of facing the wrath of my brother, the emperor. What are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but praise in his heart once again, saying that this King Jin was truly a master!
You really know how to play with people’s hearts!
She once again dodged his outstretched hand and looked up at him with pretended tears in her eyes.
