From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

This smile made Qing Ling's feet cold, but she still faced him coldly.

Tang Wanru obviously sensed something strange about Qing Ling behind her, so she turned around and saw the man standing at the door.

Her eyes darkened.

She recognized him as Zhou Ziyue.

Is it him?

Back in Chengmo, she saw that Zhou Ziyue was faking his death and escaping, but she didn't expect to run into him here. Judging from his clothes, he should be a member of the Wu Sect.

I saw a few men following behind him.

Tang Wanru knew that he was also a witch master.

After a while, Zhou Ziyue suddenly laughed: "It seems that what those old men said is right. The Queen brought out you, the Saint, just to deal with me."

"The Wu Clan has done its best for the imperial court before. The Queen is really overdoing it by treating us like this now."

"But..." Zhou Ziyue said this and subconsciously stepped in from the door.

Qing Ling, who was standing in front of Tang Wanru, immediately warned her: "Don't come over here, or I won't be polite!"

Ah.

Zhou Ziyue had no intention of coming over. He was afraid that he would scare Tang Wanru. So he just stood there and continued, "I am flattered that the person sent to deal with me is you, Wanru."

"It is my blessing to die in your hands." His face under the hat smiled gently. "It is my blessing to die in your hands."

Tang Wanru didn't say anything, but Qing Ling couldn't stand it anymore. She said angrily, "Shut up!" Is her family's Secret Master someone he can do whatever he wants?

Daydreaming!

But Tang Wanru was not in a hurry at all. She sneered and said, "Good fortune? You wish for it."

She said, "Zhou Ziyue, you escaped from Chengmo and it was a capital crime. If the officers and soldiers of Chengmo knew about it, you would be killed immediately. This is the first reason. Secondly, I heard that the Wumen knew that the queen wanted to purge them, so they went to the desert to find Shanrong. Now that you are the Wu leader, you must have cooperated with Shanrong. You are committing treason and you deserve to die. It is not my turn to kill you for your damnable double crime. You will not live long."

Haha.

Tang Wanru is really so smart at all times.

Zhou Ziyue thought to himself, I really saw through him at first sight.

"Prince Zhou." Tang Wanru shook her head. "You could have survived to the end. Why did you get involved in this mess?"

He could have gotten away with it. She had prevented him from becoming the emperor in this life, and caused him and Tang Yue'er to fall apart. If he hadn't stopped making trouble, he could have lived out his life alone in Chengmo.

She came here to deal with Tang Yueer.

It's not him.

But now he insisted on coming.

Then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Zhou Ziyue couldn't help laughing when he heard this. His eyes hidden under the black hat were a little cloudy, but no one could see it.

he thought.

He could live to the end, just stay in the desert city and live the life of a walking corpse. That's fine! If he hadn't met Tang Wanru and hadn't recalled the days with Tang Wanru, he could have stayed there like a dog for the rest of his life.

But Tang Wanru showed up after all.

He is not willing!

Rather than standing there in agony, he would rather give it a try, even if it means he'll be torn to pieces!

"There's no hope." His voice suddenly became depressed and self-deprecating. He said, "Tang Wanru, I don't know if you believe it or not, but if I can't get you, I won't be able to survive even a day there."

He lost his voice, but Tang Wanru really wanted to laugh!

What you can’t get is always surging!

A man’s regret is the most useless!

"Prince Zhou." Tang Wanru sneered, "It seems that you still don't understand yourself. People should be content." In his previous life, he did not cherish the people who stayed with him, and it was the same this time.

"I am content." Zhou Ziyue retorted, "Wanru, in this life, it is enough for me to have you. I don't want anything else. Isn't this called contentment?"

Tang Wanru was speechless. She said to him, "Prince Zhou, since you said so, then I have nothing to say. You should have seen that the Queen is determined to crack down on the Wu Sect this time. The Wu Sect is like a grasshopper after autumn. It won't survive for many days. You'd better take care of yourself."

After saying that, Tang Wanru turned and left.

Qiao Mansion.

When Bai Yanli walked in from outside, one of his men immediately came out to greet him and said, "Master, something happened. Someone came to ask to marry the imperial concubine this morning."

what?

Bai Yanli had to go out for something today, so when he heard this, he stopped immediately. But then he thought that it was normal for someone to like Tang Wanru, who was so outstanding. After all, she was unmarried here, so he raised his footsteps again and asked, "Did you reject her?"

This is the main reason why his men are waiting for him here in a hurry.

He said, "My Lord, you were not here this morning, and neither was the imperial concubine. The invitation was taken away by His Majesty!"

"What did you say?" Bai Yanli's face darkened and he stopped abruptly.

The subordinate had no choice but to tell what he knew, that Old Qiao had originally wanted to refuse, but was stopped by the emperor. In Daliang, the invitation had been accepted, which meant that the family had agreed and only waited for the person concerned to nod.

And Tang Wanru is clearly his wife!

How could his family agree?

Bai Yanli's pupils immediately flashed with a chill, and the scene from more than a decade ago instantly flooded his mind.

"Seventh Prince, His Majesty suspects that His Majesty has an affair with an outsider and also suspects your identity. His Majesty wants to kill you, so run! Run!" It was pouring rain and the palace maid pulled his hand in horror.

"Kill me?" Bai Yanli stood there, totally confused, with a look of fear and surprise on his face. He asked, "Why does my father suspect me? Why does he want to kill me?"

He was born in the palace.

What reason did he have to doubt him?

Bai Yanli felt very strange, and he wanted to turn around and go in to ask why a father would doubt his son. But when he turned around, he saw the door suddenly opened, his mother who was beaten to death was lying on the ground, his father had his back to him, and a group of guards who received the order rushed out of the room.

They drew their swords and rushed straight at him.

The palace maid grabbed his hand, turned around and ran out, while the young Bai Yanli looked back with despair and helplessness in his eyes.

In the crisis, he took a last deep look at his father's back, turned around and left with the palace maid.

Thinking of this, Bai Yanli couldn't help but sneer.

The knot from that year has not been untied, so even if Bai Yanli's outstanding performance three years ago made Emperor Zhou want to give him the position of crown prince, it was in vain.

At a certain moment, when that past event was brought up again——

Emperor Zhou would still want to kill him.

This is human nature!

Therefore, it was right for him to leave the capital and not take the position of crown prince, because his emotional knot was not completely untied, and his foundation was unstable. The higher the building was built, the harder he would fall if the center of gravity shifted!

Just like now, his father was going to push him out as bait at such an important moment.

How pathetic!

Thinking of this, Bai Yanli couldn't help but shake his head.

But he was wrong about one thing.

He should never, ever, ever set his sights on Tang Wanru. This was his Achilles' heel.

Touched.

He's going crazy!

So, Bai Yanli stopped and clenched his fingers silently.

The subordinate seemed to have noticed his displeasure, and he asked cautiously: "So what should we do now? Should we just refuse out loud?"
