I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"what?"

Chen Qingyun was stunned on the spot.

"Elope..."

joke!

I am the empress, how could I elope with you, Jiang Zuo!

Chen Qingyun's ears turned red, and he didn't know how to answer Jiang Zuo's question.

"I also know that it is difficult for you, Siyue, to accept it for the time being, but please consider it."

Jiang Zuo wanted to take back what he had just said.

"Aren't you going to be an envoy to the State of Chen? Why are you eloping?"

Chen Qingyun slowed down his thoughts.

Jiang Zuo did not answer. Instead, he opened the window, leaned out and looked around. After making sure that no one was around, he closed the window and whispered in Chen Qingyun's ear, "I plan to flee to Chen State and live out my life as a leisurely rich man in the South. I wonder what you think, Siyue, and whether you are willing to go with me."

Jiang Zuo finally revealed his true purpose.

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun's heart trembled immediately.

"Run away Chen Guo?!"

Wow, no wonder the imperial edict was accepted so readily this time, it turns out there was a purpose for it.

"No, you can't leave!"

Chen Qingyun suddenly said excitedly.

If he left Jiangzuo, he would be used by the State of Chen in the future.

By then, Jiangzuo will be the enemy of Yan State.

"Um... Siyue doesn't want to leave?"

Jiang Zuo stared into Chen Qingyun's eyes.

"That's right. I will never go to Chen State, and neither will you. If you take this opportunity to escape from Yan State, you will be severely punished by the emperor."

"I've already run away, am I still afraid that she will punish me?"

Jiang Zuo looked indifferent. After all, he was alone now and his only worry was Chen Qingyun.

"Then...then your relatives and friends in Yan State will definitely be implicated as well."

Chen Qingyun’s current thought is to quickly persuade Jiang Zuo to give up this idea.

Jiang Zuo also looked sideways and thought, then said: "Yes, I do have this concern, but most of my brothers should go with me. I am mainly worried about you, Siyue."

Chen Qingyun was shocked.

This is even worse.

After all, she, the empress, had witnessed the fighting power of Jiang Zuo's men with her own eyes.

If the Anding Army in Jiangzuo's hands was used by the State of Chen, the Yan Army would definitely not be a match for Jiangzuo.

Regardless of Jiang Zuo himself or the talents in Anding County, Chen Qingyun must keep them in his hands.

If Jiang Zuo runs away, everything will be gone!

"If you're worried about me, then don't leave."

Chen Qingyun persuaded.

"But, I have been planning this for a long time."

Jiang Zuo was also a little more conflicted at this moment.

Chen Qingyun became even more flustered when he heard this.

It turns out that Jiang Zuo had been planning this for a long time!

"If you become a Chen citizen, then we won't be able to get married."

At this moment, Chen Qingyun can only use the idea of ​​marriage to try to make Jiang Zuo change his mind.

Jiang Zuo said, "Why? People from different countries can also marry each other."

"No, I just don't like foreigners..."

There was a hint of stubbornness in Chen Qingyun's eyes.

After all, she was the empress of Yan State. It would be disgraceful if she married a traitor of Yan State.

"It's okay. Maybe in the future Chen will destroy Yan, and we will still be in the same country then."

Jiang Zuo said with a calm expression.

"Jiang Zuo, you are so bold!"

Chen Qingyun could not bear the imperial majesty in his heart at this moment and revealed it in front of Jiang Zuo.

How could the great Yan Kingdom be destroyed by the Southern Chen?

How dare Jiang Zuo talk such nonsense!

Hearing Chen Qingyun's words, Jiang Zuo was completely stunned. He looked at the seriousness between Chen Qingyun's eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but he couldn't hold it in. He smiled indifferently and said, "Siyue, you are really cute when you are serious."

"you……"

Chen Qingyun was completely speechless.

"I'm so angry now, and you, Jiang Zuo, actually still have the mind to say that I'm cute!"

The empress was furious and wished she could send the Thousand Cavalry Division right away to severely punish Jiang Zuo.

such as……

Before Chen Qingyun could come to his senses, Jiang Zuo hugged Chen Qingyun and said gently, "Don't worry, Siyue, I will never let you down. When things settle down in the future, I will definitely marry you."

Chen Qingyun's whole body froze and he seemed to be unable to speak.

After a while, Jiang Zuo finally let go of her hand and said, "We have been together for quite some time. You should know me well. I will never lie to you."

Chen Qingyun remained silent, thinking: "Of course I understand, you are a big liar who tells lies all the time. It turns out that you agreed to me so readily just to defect!"

But on second thought, Jiang Zuo seemed to have never lied about the identity of "Chen Siyue".

It seems that Jiang Zuo is absolutely serious.

"Even if you don't lie to me, can you lie to the emperor? You are an official appointed by the court. How could the emperor let you defect to the State of Chen?"

Chen Qingyun could only bring up the current emperor in an attempt to make Jiang Zuo feel afraid.

But Jiangzuo is Jiangzuo after all. He was not afraid of the empress or not. Instead, he said nonchalantly, "Yes, so I am an envoy now. I can go south openly. This is called running away by imperial order. I have made enough money now. It's time to enjoy a peaceful life. If Siyue can go with me, it would be the best."

"..."

Chen Qingyun couldn't hide his inner uneasiness and anxiety.

It seems that Jiang Zuo has made up his mind.

No, this envoy post must not be given to Jiang Zuo!

This time, it was the empress who began to regret.

But on second thought, if Jiang Zuo doesn't go, who else can take on this job?

This envoy's post is related to Yan State's plan to move south.

Chen Qingyun would be very worried if this task was given to other people.

It would be better to persuade Jiang Zuo to change his mind and not run away in compliance with the imperial order.

As for what can be done to make Jiang Zuo change his mind?

For example...

"I don't care. You can't defect no matter what."

Chen Qingyun became anxious.

"Actually, I didn't want to run away before, but Siyue, you have seen recently that many people want to kill me. If I really want to become an official in the capital, I am afraid there will be more trouble in the future."

Jiang Zuo was quite worried.

Thinking back to the incident with Zhao Ruodong, he felt even more uneasy.

The group of masterminds hiding in the dark could create a new Zhao Ruodong in order to assassinate Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo just wants to be a rich man who lives a leisurely life.

It’s better to stay away from court struggles and intrigues.

Hearing Jiang Zuo say this, Chen Qingyun also fell into deep thought.

Whoever dares to kill Jiang Zuo, the Empress will never let them succeed!

"Do you think you will be safe once you reach Chen?"

Chen Qingyun has been unable to understand Jiang Zuo's thinking for a long time.

"At least it's better than being in Yan State."

Jiang Zuo guessed that after all, he had not offended any interest groups in the State of Chen.

Chen Qingyun shook her head helplessly, not knowing how to explain to Jiang Zuo. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and decided to confess everything to Jiang Zuo.

Including her identity as empress.

"Jiang Zuo, listen to me."

Chen Qingyun looked serious as he stared into Jiang Zuo's eyes.

"Actually, I am..."
