Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"You blame me?"

Chu Wanjing forced a smile, "How could that be."

"Oh? Really? Then who are you trying to show off to?" Qin Zhaohai turned around and looked directly at Chu Wanjing.

Chu Wanjing was frightened by his gaze. She didn't care about her gorgeous clothes and knelt down with a thud.

"me....."

Qin Zhaohai reached out his hand and helped her up, who was trembling a little. "Alright, stop looking like I'm going to eat you."

"I know what you're complaining about, but I've already said that Yao'er isn't suited for this position. Even if he were to take it, he'd only be a puppet. Since you chose this back then, you shouldn't have shown me this."

"You have to know that since you have made this choice, you have to bear the consequences that you already know."

Chu Wanjing nodded with red eyes, indicating that she understood.

Qin Zhaohai patted the back of her hand gently, restrained his anger, put his arm around her waist and walked to the bed.

Chu Wanjing no longer felt the joy she had felt before when facing him, and she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

But he appeared to agree.

After making love, Qin Zhaohai put his arm around her shoulders, his fingers playing with her hair. "I had no choice but to let you enter the palace back then. You know, for a family as powerful as the Chu family, the best way to gain a foothold in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is to have someone in the harem."

"I know you haven't had an easy time in the harem, but I've given you everything I could over the years."

The implication is that it cannot be given to you, so you shouldn't force it.

Chu Wanjing took a deep breath. She understood what he meant. A smile appeared on her lips. "I know. I have never blamed you. I was very grateful to you for adopting me."

Qin Zhaohai didn't know how much of her words were true or false, but he could clearly feel that Chu Wanjing didn't admire him as much as before.

But these don't bother him, he doesn't care.

He didn't have much emotional investment in these people.

Besides, they are human beings, and it is normal to have some selfish desires as long as it does not interfere with their interests.

As for Zhao Mingyao.

It can be said that the child does not have any trace of him at all.

That's not right either.

His face is somewhat similar to his, but I don’t know if the child is an exception, he didn’t inherit his forehead.

But thanks to this, the old emperor didn't suspect anything back then, otherwise...

He glanced at Chu Wanjing, who was still looking at him affectionately, and pressed forward again.

Just after midnight, Qin Zhaohai left.

Chu Wanjing looked at his back as he left, without the reluctance she had in the past.

After seeing Qin Zhaohai off, he returned to Cining Palace alone and stood at the window, looking at the pitch-black darkness outside the courtyard.

His eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

There is regret, unwillingness, and a faint hatred.

She knew from a young age that she was Qin Zhaohai's adopted child, and she also knew that no matter how well she did, she could not escape the fate of being abandoned.

She once thought that as long as she tried her best to please Qin Zhaohai, she would have a different life.

Especially after she became pregnant with his child.

She thought he loved her.

She also thought that he would give her and her son a future that was not as sloppy as that of chess pieces.

It was not until Chu Weian slowly took over the affairs of the court that she realized that she and her son would always be just pawns in their eyes.

He looked up at the square palace, a wry smile plastered across his face.

Before, she always felt that Qin Zhaohai treated her differently, but after tonight she knew.

He has no heart at all.

No matter how much she sacrificed for him, he would never take her to heart.

Thinking of this, she took out a Hetian jade pendant engraved with her zodiac sign from her bosom.

His fingers gently stroked the rabbit's head.

There was guilt in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I betrayed your sincerity, and I've received my retribution. I will definitely repay you in my next life."

Chu Zhaolin may never know until his death that the son he thought he had was not his own.

Thinking of this, tears rolled down Chu Wanjing's eyes.

How sad!

She hurt the person who once cared about her and wasted her life for a man who didn't take her seriously.

If I could live my life over again...

Shaking my head and smiling bitterly...

There is no chance to start over.

Talk about the other side.

After Qin Zhaohai left the palace, he left a letter and left.

When Chu Weian saw the letter, Qin Zhaohai was already thousands of miles away.

"Master, are we really going to stop fighting with North City and act according to the old man's instructions?"

Chu Weian glanced at the person beside him. This person was the one he truly trusted.

Those who were previously sent to North City were just the people Qin Zhaohai left with him.

He is not a fool. With so many half-brothers, how could he not cultivate some forces of his own?

Those who are going to die will naturally not use the people they have trained with great effort.

It seems that he has lost many people over the years, but in fact, those who died were just those left behind by Qin Zhaohai, commonly known as the people in the open.

If Qin Zhaohai checked carefully, he would find the clues. Unfortunately, his good father was always arrogant and thought that he could control everyone he could control with his ability.

It's really ridiculous when you think about it.

Do you really think that you know nothing after all these years?

When Qin Zhaohai lived in the capital as his father, he had sex with his adopted sister in broad daylight.

It was precisely because of this that he made his mother so angry that she couldn't get out of bed.

He still remembers his arrogant look when his mother asked him for an answer.

A simple sentence, "A woman should just take care of the inner house and not ask too many questions about his affairs," wiped out the mother's years of hard work.

For so many years, he had always pretended to be obedient in front of him and let him dominate him, but in fact, he hated him in his heart just as much.

His mother's last words were still ringing in his ears.

: My child, you are the only one left in this world. Mother only hopes that you can take good care of yourself at all times.

He has been doing this for many years.

And he thought he was disguising himself very well.

"Hehe, since he said so, let's do it this way, but..." He whispered in Chu Ling's ear.

Chu Ling's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away!"

Chu Weian smiled as he watched Chu Ling leave.

Since Qin Zhaohai wants to use their hands to cut off the arms of the people of Beicheng, don't blame him for killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Anyway, no matter whether things succeed or fail, it does not matter to him. If things succeed, he will get fame, and if things fail, he will get fame.

Then he would have one less competitor.

It’s a pity that Lao Liu is too stupid.

Before he had the chance to fight them, he exposed his ambitions early on, and no one sought justice for him until his death.

Their father clearly had the ability to avenge him, but he did not.

What does it mean?

This means that useless people do not need his attention.

If that's the case, then it shouldn't be a big deal for him to get rid of one or two useless sons!
