Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2646

1159: Unexpected Request

Zuan smiled awkwardly: “You don’t have to be like this, I’m helping you because of our old friendship and my own principles. If I take the opportunity to blackmail you, what will happen then?”

“This is not a threat, I’m willing,” Bai Rouxue explained hurriedly, “and I’m not doing it out of gratitude, but… but…”

Seeing her hesitating, her fair little face was now full of red clouds. Zuan couldn’t help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked: “But what?”

Bai Rouxue finally plucked up the courage and looked up at him: “Since I can remember, I have been a tool for the Demon Cult to train, and later I became the Saint of the Shadow Tower. Everything I have is to complete the mission, and I have never lived for myself.”

“I didn’t like the silly prince at all, but I married him to complete the mission, but he is too stupid and doesn’t understand the matters between men and women at all.”

“At that time, Zhao Hao could only stick to the primogeniture system to fight against the King of Qi because the King of Qi also had the right to inherit the throne. Therefore, he could not change the crown prince. But the crown prince was so stupid that he was destined to have no descendants. Zhao Hao also wanted to have a smart crown prince to reassure the ministers, so he set his sights on me.”

When Bai Rouxue said this, a trace of pain and disgust flashed across her face, and she could no longer hold back her tears.

Zuan sighed, “It’s all in the past, don’t think about it anymore.”

Bai Rouxue sobbed as she recalled everything that happened back then, “In fact, the most suitable candidate at the time was Sister Linglong. She was the legitimate Crown Princess, and it was most legitimate for her to give birth to the Crown Prince. But she suddenly left the East Palace and returned to her parents’ home those days…”

At this point, she couldn’t help but smile sadly, “She came from a famous family, and even Zhao Hao had to consider the Bi family. People like me who have no power or background are naturally the easiest to be bullied.”

Zuan heard the complaint in her words, “I guess you think Linglong knows about this, and she is even one of the masterminds, so your relationship has not been so good over the years.”

“I dare not think that way, and it has been so long since the incident, there is no point in thinking about it.” As a spy lurking in the palace for many years, Bai Rouxue was afraid of making mistakes every step of the way. She never dared to express her emotions. This was the first time she said what was on her mind.

“You may have wronged her. You are not the only victim. Linglong is also a victim.” Zuan left a part of Zhao Hao’s soul in Zhao Ruizhi’s body, ready to take over his body and be reborn after the five decays of the heavenly man. Bi Linglong is the next generation queen she chose.

After hearing this, Bai Rouxue was shocked: “Zhao Hao is a scumbag!”

Thinking of Zhao Hao’s actions, Zuan felt the same way: “He is indeed a scumbag.”

“It turns out that I have misunderstood Sister Linglong for so many years.” Thinking of Bi Linglong’s plea for them just now, Bai Rouxue felt more guilty.

“This matter is over, you don’t have to worry about it anymore, it’s good for you to shake hands and make peace in the future.” Zuan was a little curious, “According to this, you should hate Zhao Hao, why do you care so

much about that child?” Bai Rouxue smiled sadly: “I have been born in darkness all these years. At first, I didn’t like this child, but he was born after ten months of pregnancy. As we got along slowly, he became the only one I could confide in, and gradually became the only motivation for me to support myself for so many years.”

Zuan also roughly understood her psychology. Not to mention as a mother, even if it was an adopted child, raising and getting along with him for so many years could bring a ray of light to her in the darkness, and that feeling was also unforgettable.

“But now I have another motivation,” Bai Rouxue looked at Zuan, with a hint of shame on her face, “In fact, when I first met you, I thought you were very special. But I didn’t expect that when Zhao Hao wanted to secretly execute me, you would take such a big risk to save me…”

She originally had a good impression of Zuan, and that incident made her fall completely. If she hadn’t been controlled by the Shadow Building later, she would probably have confessed her love to him.

Of course, after so many things happened, those words could no longer be said.

“I was deceived by you two at the beginning.” Zuan smiled bitterly. At that time, Zhao Yuan came to find trouble in various ways, and several times he almost exposed the fact that he hid Bai Rouxue. As a result, he only now knew that they were in the same group.

Bai Rouxue also looked a little apologetic: “In fact, Zhao Yuan didn’t want to take such a big risk to save me at that time. Anyway, as long as he had the emperor’s grandson in his hands, he had a bargaining chip. It’s just that he didn’t expect you to save me, so he just went with the flow and performed a diligent and responsible performance. You know, Zhao Hao felt that he was close to the five decays of heaven and man at that time, and he knew that the owner of the Shadow Tower might be hiding in the palace, so he was always suspicious. Zhao Yuan’s operation actually gained Zhao Hao’s trust.”

Zuan also admired him a little. Zhao Hao was very scheming. He really played everyone in the palm of his hand back then. Zhao Yuan was able to deceive him, which was really amazing.

Bai Rouxue’s face showed a trace of sadness: “Brother Zu, you have countless beautiful confidantes around you. I know that I am a weak and weak woman, and I have given birth to a child. You will definitely not look down on me.”

Tears flowed down her face again. Although she was acting at the beginning, she was really sad when she cried.

Why didn’t she meet him first…

At the same time, she thought that she and Bi Linglong were both crown princesses. In fact, she met Zu An at almost the same time. At the beginning, she had a better relationship with him. Why did Bi Linglong live with him in the end, but she ended up in such a situation?

If it were before, she would inevitably feel jealous, but knowing that what happened back then had nothing to do with Bi Linglong, and this time she got her to plead for her, how could she hate him? The only thing she hated was that she had a bad fate.

Seeing her crying, Zu An wanted to wipe the tears from her face, but he immediately realized that this was too ambiguous, so he had to say: “Don’t underestimate yourself, you are also very beautiful, everyone in the capital says that you and Linglong are the two beauties of the East Palace.”

“But you don’t like it.” Bai Rouxue cried even more sadly after he persuaded her.

“Who said I don’t like it…” Zu An blurted out, but immediately realized that it was inappropriate. He actually wanted to say that he also thought she was beautiful, but it sounded ambiguous.

Bai Rouxue’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

Seeing her happy face and the brilliance in her beautiful eyes, Zu An couldn’t say his explanation for a while.

Bai Rouxue smiled: “Brother Zu, you don’t have to worry too much. I won’t ask for any status. I will always wait for you. Whenever you miss me, come to accompany me and I will be satisfied.”

Just then, the guards came from outside to report, and Bai Rouxue ran out with a red face after speaking.

Murong Qinghe came in and saw her blushing and flustered, and looked at Zuan with a strange look.

Zuan knew that she was thinking wrong, but it was hard to explain such a thing, so he could only cough and said, “Qinghe, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Murong Qinghe hesitated for a long time, and suddenly mustered up the courage: “Brother-in-law, can I hug you?”

Zuan: “???”
