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

So Ning Zhuo said, "Mrs. Xu, you came here today. You must have heard the rumors outside about Xu Wang going to Da Zhou to save me, right?"

Madam Xu, who was already extremely regretful at this point, immediately kowtowed to Ning Zhuo with emotion upon hearing these words, saying, "Empress, it is my fault. I was confused and believed those unfounded rumors outside. I was ignorant of the world and made a scene in front of you, Empress. I deserve to die. Please punish me, Empress."

She should apologize, but Ning Zhuo said that he didn't just want her to apologize.

So she continued as if she hadn't heard anything: "It was indeed me who wrote to Xu Wang and asked him to come to Da Zhou to rescue me. However, it was not because of love, but because I was in so much pain at that time that I wanted to die."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Ning Zhuo's thoughts seemed to be drawn back to the horrific days in the Great Zhou. No one was talking around them anymore, only her voice was vague and empty: "Back then, I left my family and career to go to Zhou City for love. I thought I would get supreme love, but I didn't expect that what I got was endless suspicion and torture."

When she mentioned this, even though she was so strong, her voice began to tremble slightly.

At the same time, Emperor Zhou, who was lying on the roof and secretly watching Ning Zhuo inside, became dazed when he heard these words. His hand slipped and he almost knocked a tile that he was holding down into the hall. Fortunately, Li Bo, who was lying opposite him, held down the tile and he was not exposed.

Li Bo signaled Emperor Zhou to be careful.

He continued to listen.

Ning Zhuo continued, "It was all in vain to explain over and over again. The other party's arrogance and indifference left me bruised and battered. So I had no choice but to leave."

"And it was precisely this choice that gave the other party a reason to torture me even more severely."

"What scumbag man and bitch? That's just their imagination. They are trying to punish me from a high ground and to cover up their perverted mentality!"

"He is the scumbag!"

When talking about Emperor Zhou, Ning Zhuo almost gritted her teeth, and cold and sarcastic words came out of her throat.

It struck Emperor Zhou's heart with a resounding sound.

A muffled "bang" sound came from the roof. Everyone in the hall raised their heads and looked up, but saw nothing unusual there.

Outside, Li Bo had already covered the mouth of Zhou Di, who was about to go down to argue with her as he could no longer bear it.

I also subconsciously covered the tile.

Emperor Zhou was still struggling indignantly: "She, she was talking nonsense. I loved her too much, but now she has made me look like a vicious person. How could she say such a thing? How could she?"

He struggled to go down and confront her, but was held back by Li Bo: "Your Majesty. After all, she died because of you. What's wrong with what she said?"

Emperor Zhou: ...

He sat there in shock, looking at Li Bo in disbelief. He didn't expect Li Bo to say that to him.

The authorities are fascinated.

Li Bo has always understood Emperor Zhou with these four words, but isn't he going too far? Is it reasonable? He beat the person to death, and if he didn't die, he almost died. Is there anything wrong with him talking nonsense now?

"Your Majesty," Li Bo advised earnestly, "Just listen to what he has to say first."

The emotions that had just risen in Emperor Zhou were suppressed by him. At this moment, he could only roll his eyes at him and continue to lean in to listen to the voice inside.

After Ning Zhuo explained everything clearly, she said to Madam Xu, "Madam Xu, so what people say about the relationship between me and General Xu are all malicious rumors. We are innocent from beginning to end." After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Wang calmly and smiled, "When we were young, we did like each other for a while, but that was not love. Later, when he met you, he took you home regardless of everything. That was true love."

"Come to think of it, when Xu Wang met you, he told me that he thought about you day and night. I should have envied you at that time."

It turned out to be the case.

Ning Zhuo's revelation of his true feelings made Madam Xu feel ashamed.

Others had such an open relationship, but she framed them like this.

She's really going too far.

At the same time, someone who felt the same as her was Zhou Di on the roof. He, who was furious just now, suddenly calmed down.

It turned out that he really had misunderstood her back then.

He almost beat her to death because of this misunderstanding, no wonder Ning Zhuo scolded him.

He really didn't know what crazy medicine he took at that time.

Why did he do this to his lover?

Li Bo, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the regret on Emperor Zhou's face.

If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

As an emperor, Li Bo still admired him very much, but as a lover, he was not competent at all.

Inside the palace, the truth of the matter has come to light.

After Madam Xu apologized to Ning Zhuo and kowtowed, she was helped up by Xu Wang. The two had been through so much, and their relationship had become even deeper.

"Go back and live a good life." Ning Zhuo said to the two people gently.

"Thank you, Queen." Madam Xu said. She was so ignorant and made a scene, but the Queen did not blame her. She explained the matter clearly and helped the two of them to reconcile.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu admired Ning Zhuo even more.

So the two of them walked out supporting each other.

*

In the woods not far away.

Tang Yue'er originally wanted to give Bai Yanli a warning, to prove that if he didn't want her, she had the ability to turn everything upside down.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wang actually brought Mrs. Xu out.

This indicated that she had completely failed in this game.

"This..." Tang Yue'er's face turned ugly. How did the two of them reconcile? So many people outside were saying that the relationship between the Queen and Xu Wang was not innocent.

This is not the result anyway.

Bai Yanli, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Is this your plan to threaten me?"

Tang Yue'er's face turned green with anger. If this matter failed, Madam Xu and General Xu would reconcile and their trust in each other would be restored. Not to mention that she could not threaten Bai Yanli, there was no value for her to stay there any longer.

Her platform is about to collapse.

She became visibly anxious, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

But in front of Bai Yanli, she would not be timid. She continued, "Bai Yanli, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, but I won't give up." She continued to express her true feelings to him, "Just wait, sooner or later I will--"

However, before she finished her words, something incredible happened.

Bai Yanli suddenly raised his hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead with the handkerchief in his hand.

Tang Yue'er stood there in shock.

She stared blankly at the man in front of her.

What did he do?

"Don't be anxious, wipe the sweat off before talking to me." His voice was very gentle, which reminded her of the extremely gentle Bai Yanli in her memory.

"Isn't it just to say that you will come to see me sooner or later?" After saying that, Bai Yanli loosened his hand and the handkerchief fell to the ground, "I'll wait for you."

After he finished speaking, his gaze visibly stayed on Tang Yueer's face for a second before he turned and left.

It was not until he left that Tang Yue'er seemed to react.

She reached out and touched her burning face.

wait for me?

What does he mean?

Thinking of the look he had given her just now, Tang Yueer's heart started beating "bang bang bang!"

So, was that seducing her?

Although she had looked for Bai Yanli twice before just for this moment, when it really came, she was terrified.

She was afraid that this was a trap.

I’m even more afraid that I won’t be able to control myself and get myself into trouble!
