After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

The "foot-washing maid" was brought back to the palace by Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui's move was not simply to tease Wei Zhen. He took Wei Zhen's safety into consideration. Wei Ju was in such danger. If she went back this time, wouldn't she be walking into a tiger's mouth?

They saved people in vain.

And who is inside this shell now...If it is accidentally exposed, he will be executed for being a demon.

Zhao Rui first wrote a letter to inform Grand Tutor Wei of what happened tonight. He also said that Wei Zhen himself was frightened and his memory was a little fuzzy. He asked his concubine Tian to take good care of him. After Grand Tutor Wei had dealt with Wei Ju's matter, he would send Wei Zhen back.

To the outside world, it was only said that Wei Zhen and Tian hit it off from the first sight and were reluctant to part.

Grand Tutor Wei has always admired Zhao Rui, knows his character, and knows that he truly treats Wei Zhen as his own sister. After something like this happened, it is understandable that Zhao Rui is worried about the Wei Mansion.

This bastard Wei Ju is really a bastard!

If something really happened to Wei Zhen, how would the Wei family explain to His Majesty, the Queen, and the Prince of Yan?

Grand Tutor Wei was furious and beat Wei Ju up, then sent him to the military camp.

While Grand Tutor Wei was dealing with his own problems, the Prince of Wei's mansion was bustling with activity.

That night, Zhao Rui actually asked the future Crown Princess to wash his feet, thus opening the prelude to a generation of emperors washing the Queen's feet to atone for their sins...

赵睿从未见过魏祯这般的女子，性情古怪，离经叛道，缺德毒舌还爱给人起外号……要不碍着她的身份，他恐怕早揍她了。

Wei Zhen saw Zhao Rui's favorite concubine Tian, ​​and he whistled, took her to bathe with him, and even taught her how to fight in the house and compete for favor. Zhao Rui heard Wei Zhen instigating Tian more than once, "As long as the prince can't have children, the prince can only be your Heng'er..."

"If a man does not think about the future, he will have immediate worries..."

Zhao Rui's eldest son, Zhao Heng (Xian Wang), was mediocre in talent and dull in appearance. She looked at him and said, "In ancient times, people gave birth to children early, and they gave birth to fools..."

Seeing Shangguan Shifan competing in martial arts with others, and the result was a draw in ten matches, she gave him one, "Fifty-fifty, Captain Chu, this is..."

Wei Zhen gave the highest evaluation to Zhao Rui himself, saying that he was a heather flower blooming in the Great Chu, pure in appearance but full of charm.

Because Zhao Rui often hung out with Shangguan Shifan, Wei Zhen gave their combination a nickname, the Benbo Baba Popen combination.

Let me put it this way, every fly that passes by her will be bitten, and accused of not washing its hands before eating.

Wei Zhen was not a fool either. After she had accidentally turned the Prince of Wei's mansion upside down and frequently uttered bad words, and before she was beaten, she vaguely felt that she might not be a foot-washing maid.

She went to inquire, but the entire palace was silenced by Zhao Rui, and the look in Zhao Rui's eyes when he looked at her became more and more strange... After thinking it over again and again, Wei Zhen crawled through a dog hole and escaped from the Prince of Wei's Palace.

As luck would have it, she happened to meet Prince Yan, who blamed her for not coming to play with him recently. Wei Zhen then learned of her identity. Wow, the future crown princess. Wei Zhen instantly forgot about Zhao Rui and followed Prince Yan to the place of entertainment he mentioned.

When we got there we realized it was the Colosseum.

The dignitaries sat on the high platform, overlooking the untouchables and ferocious beasts fighting each other in the field.

The Prince of Yan's strange and sharp eyes became Wei Zhen's nightmare.

Wei Zhen returned to the Wei Mansion and couldn't sleep for a long time.

She wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep, Zhao Rui was also there.

After Wei Zhen left, he subconsciously sent people to look for her. Knowing that she was taken away by Prince Yan, he was about to go and ask for her, but was stopped by Shangguan Shifan, who told him meaningfully that she was originally Prince Yan's woman.

Oh yes.

It was a sleepless night. At this hour, he should have held his beautiful concubine in his arms, but he was sitting in the study, drinking wine in disappointment. Reason told him that she was just a guest. Because of her presence, he had no time to be intimate with his most beloved concubine. It was better for her to leave so that he could have some peace and quiet.

Zhao Rui's mood calmed down, but at this moment, Wei Zhen came to him, looked at him deeply, and told him that she did not want to marry Prince Yan, nor did she want Prince Yan to ascend the throne. If such a cruel emperor who treated the common people as straw dogs came to power, it would be a catastrophe for the whole world.

If he dares to kill one person today, he will dare to massacre the whole city tomorrow!

When a person dies, he is truly dead.

She said that she could either live in disgrace or watch innocent people die, but she wanted to give it a try before anything happened.

Wei Zhen’s words were very clear.

Zhao Rui also understood, and at that moment, he wanted to blurt out the words of promise, but he was Zhao Rui after all, the cautious Zhao Rui who had suffered torture and humiliation since childhood. If he lost in such a risky matter, his entire Wei Palace would be confiscated and he would be executed.

It's not that he didn't want to ascend the throne. How could a prince be willing to be mediocre? It's just that the Queen's family is powerful and His Majesty favors him. He only has the support of Shangguan Shifan, who is not very good, and the loyal General Qin... He had already calculated that his chances of winning were not great.

He is a cautious man and never takes risks.

He had crawled out of hell and dared not look into the abyss again.

However, he still asked, "You want me to risk my property being confiscated. What bargaining chips can you give me?"

After a moment's silence, he heard the rustling of a dress. He turned his head and froze in shock the next second.

Wei Zhen did not avoid it, and looked him straight in the eyes, which made him, a man, feel embarrassed. He was angry, and then he heard Wei Zhen say, "I am the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince has not been crowned yet. Whoever is the Crown Prince, I am his woman, Zhao Rui, do you understand?"

How could Zhao Rui not understand?

Become the crown prince and you can get her!

Zhao Rui's blood was boiling and his heart was getting agitated. Suddenly, a voice sounded, like a pour of cold water over his head, forcing him to calm down.

Tian, ​​who had been eavesdropping outside, rushed in, "Your Majesty, don't agree to her. She wants to harm you. Have you forgotten what you promised me? Think about me and our child. Do you have the heart to watch the child suffer and behead?"

She pointed at Wei Zhen, who was dressed in cool clothes, with her eyes wide open, and cursed him terribly, "Miss Wei, you are already the future Crown Princess, why are you so shameless and seduce my prince behind your future husband's back?"

Wei Zhen didn't move, showing no trace of guilt or panic, he just looked at Zhao Rui, demanding his answer.

Seeing this, Tian knelt down and said pitifully, "If the prince really wants to do this, then please divorce me and let me take Heng'er away to make room for Miss Wei!"

"What are you talking about? You have been with me for many years, and we have a deep love for each other. How could I abandon you and Heng'er?"

Zhao Rui pulled Tian up, and Tian cried and snuggled into his chest, showing their true love.

Only after witnessing this scene did Wei Zhen lower her eyes in despair, picked up her dress on the ground and put it on silently. A burning gaze was always on her, but she didn't care.

Actually...she really wasn't here to compete with Tian for men.

How could she, a modern woman, be attracted to a married man?

She was just self-indulgent and wanted to exchange this body for an opportunity.

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

In the past, she was just one of the many people in the world. She had no power and no ability to do anything, but now, at least she has some choices.

But she is just an ordinary person. She just said that she is taking a gamble. If she wins, she will give the world a wise ruler and she will be a virtuous queen, ruling the country. If she loses, she will be the queen of a tyrant. She cannot claim to be a loyal and righteous person, and she will not kill, poison, or die to show her will. She will just live well and live regardless of the consequences.

Although I thought so, it was still embarrassing to be rejected.

Even though Wei Zhen was thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Specifically, she put on her clothes and left without looking back or saying a word.
