Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

As Zhou Zheng continued to produce evidence, Gong Tan could no longer bear it.

At this moment, she completely let go of her armor, dived into Zhou Zheng's chest, and started crying fiercely.

Gong Tan, who had always been steady, calm and even unsmiling, with a hint of strength and wisdom, at this moment, like a little girl who had been wronged, firmly grabbed the corner of Zhou Zheng's clothes.

His eyes were filled with tears, as if he wanted to release all the grievances he had suffered in the past two years.

Feeling the beauty in his arms, Zhou Zheng's eyes were slightly bloodshot at this time.

He gently patted Gong Tan's back with his palm, feeling heartbroken.

This is how much grievance he suffered to make Gong Tan, who has always been stubborn, act like this.

After a long time, Gong Tan managed to stabilize his emotions.

But the pear blossoms were still filled with tears, and Zhou Zheng's arms hugging her tightened a little more.

"Why do you believe me?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Gong Tan raised his head slightly, and there was a glimmer of light in his originally gloomy and desperate eyes.

"There is no reason, because you are Gong Tan!"

A generous palm caressed Gong Tan's cheek.

"If you really meant harm to me, why am I still alive today?"

"If you have harmful intentions towards me, you should not be in Xiang County or the mansion at this time, but should be in Kyoto."

"If you harm me, it won't be Lan Yu who will die, but Zhou Ping, Gan Mo, Qin Gou'er, Lei Tong and others."

"If you really have harmful intentions towards me, the method of making gunpowder repeating crossbows obtained by the imperial court will not be wrong."

Zhou Zheng spoke softly, but every word made Gong Tan feel truly at ease.

She was never afraid of death and was even prepared to die at all times.

However, she was afraid of Zhou Zheng's resentful gaze on her, and even the moment Zhou Zheng said he hated her, she was completely despairing in her heart.

"Why do you have to face everything alone?"

Holding Gong Tan's cheek, Zhou Zheng frowned slightly.

"Because this is the only way to protect you."

With a bitter smile, Gong Tan knew Emperor Tianjing's methods and strength better than anyone else!

As long as Emperor Tianjing is willing, he has countless ways and means to kill Zhou Zheng.

There is only one way to make Emperor Tianjing feel at ease, and that is to make Emperor Tianjing think that both Xiangjun and Zhou Zheng are under his control.

The only one who can complete this task is Gong Tan!

Only in this way can Zhou Zheng have enough time to grow.

Only in this way can we secretly find out all the people and things that are not conducive to Zhou Zheng.

Really put Zhou Zheng in safety.

but!

Gong Tan can't talk about all this!

She can only do it quietly alone, otherwise once Emperor Tianjing finds out, everything will be doomed to failure!

"The only way to protect me?"

This sentence made Zhou Zheng look angry and his voice was low.

"You should understand my temperament."

"You can't bend with strength, and you can't move with poverty!"

"My purpose in this life is to protect the people I want to protect, not to let you bear this alone."

Zhou Zheng still doesn't know what Bai Guangtan's plan is.

She was playing with fire, wanting to use her own life to buy time for Zhou Zheng.

This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Once exposed, Emperor Tianjing will be angered. When the time comes, even asking for death will be a luxury!

"When you are no longer the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, there is no need to do these things."

"Could it be possible, do you really think he dares to kill me!?"

A cold light surged in his eyes, and Zhou Zheng groaned in a low voice.

"Your Majesty cares about your reputation, so he will not attack you easily."

"But where is Xun'er?"

"Where's the Su family?!"

Shaking his head, Gong Tan knew the temperament of Emperor Tianjing too well.

From the moment Gong Tan was asked to follow Zhou Zheng, Emperor Tianjing began to make plans.

"When I take you secretly to Yanchun Tower, there will be no turning back."

"Emperor Tianjing has never believed in the Imperial City Secretary who has always sworn loyalty to him. He only believes in himself."

"Use Xun'er, the Su family behind him, and even Zhou Ping and King Zhou Yong to continue to weave this web and finally control everything."

When he said this, Gong Tan's body started to tremble slightly.

Emperor Tianjing’s city is too deep!

It's so deep that it makes people feel not only terrible, but also terrified!

"you mean!?"

Even Zhou Zheng's heartbeat accelerated a lot when he heard this.

"Yes, everything is under his control."

"He knew everything that happened in Yanchun Tower."

"I just deliberately pretended not to know, even at the expense of the seventh prince."

"And in the future, this will also become his best reason to take advantage of King Zhou Yong."

Gong Tan shuddered.

Everyone has a weakness, and King Zhou Yong’s biggest weakness is Zhou Ping!

As long as Emperor Tianjing reveals what happened in Yanchun Tower, no matter what King Yong does, he can only choose to obey Emperor Tianjing.

Otherwise, Zhou Ping will die!

It is still justified, and it will not affect the status and image of Emperor Tianjing in the hearts of the world at all.

"But it's all over now."

Sensing the murderous intent in Zhou Zheng's sinister eyes, Gong Tan quickly comforted Zhou Zheng.

"You're still not doing well in Xiang County today."

"With Xun'er and the Su family, with officials like Gu Jiang, and people like Lei Tong, Gan Mo, things are no longer what they used to be."

"As long as you follow up and secretly kill those people on the list, the imperial court will no longer have any spies around you."

"This time Daxia and Dazhou are about to go to war, and the imperial court will not be able to take care of this place in a short time."

A smile appeared on Gong Tan's face.

All the grievances of the past two years seemed to disappear at this moment.

Because she knew that as long as Zhou Zheng could live, everything would be worth it!

"Of course, you still need to do one more thing."

Taking a deep breath, Gong Tan's expression became solemn and serious again.

"whats the matter!?"

But at this moment, Zhou Zheng suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"kill me!"

"Kill me in public!"

Gong Tan raised her slender white neck, with no fear or fear on her face, not even the slightest panic.

It seems that death is never a big deal.

What did you say! ?

However, this time, Zhou Zheng was stunned.

He kept shaking his head, with a hint of incomprehensibility in his eyes.

Why? !

"Only by killing me can I continue to grow without arousing Emperor Tianjing's alarm."

"Only by killing me will you have enough time to deal with other hidden stakes and informants."

"Only by killing me can you shock all the young people and tell them that anyone who betrays you must die!"

Gong Tan's words made Zhou Zheng turn pale!

"No!"

It's impossible for him to kill Gong Tan, absolutely impossible!

"But besides killing me, do you have any other options?"
