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

Their eyes met, and a rare trace of panic appeared in the deepest part of Zhou Zheng's eyes.

Only by killing Gong Tan can we continue to hide the truth from Emperor Tianjing!

"If you don't kill me, Your Majesty will know everything."

"At that time, he will not give you any more time or chance."

"Even, he will take action personally, take action against the Su family, King Yong and others."

Gong Tan forced a smile on her face.

Being able to become the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, she is naturally very thoughtful.

The current Zhou Zheng is still too weak, at least compared to the imperial court and compared to Emperor Tianjing, he is still far behind.

"Only by building walls high, hoarding supplies, and planning slowly will you have a chance."

Gong Tan walked lightly towards Zhou Zheng and spoke softly.

"Even if you don't kill me, Emperor Tianjing will not let me go."

"I will never regret dying in your hands."

Gently caressing Zhou Zheng's cheek with his palm, Gong Tan's clear eyes were as tender as water.

She had never been afraid of death, and had even been prepared to die long ago.

If she could use her own life to buy more opportunities and time for Zhou Zheng, she would never regret it or even hesitate at all.

"Why......"

"For me, is it really worth it?"

Zhou Zheng's voice trembled, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his voice was hoarse.

"worth!"

"I have never risked my life for someone in my life until I met you!"

Gong Tan's voice was not loud, but the affirmation in it was without hesitation.

"In my heart, you have never been an indecisive person!"

"I hope you are like this now."

"Those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters, and they should not only care about the love between children."

Biting her red lips, Gong Tan tried her best to stabilize her emotions.

"If I can't even protect the people I love, then what's the meaning and value of my life!?"

"If I can sacrifice you this time because I shrink back because of fear, then who will dare to really stand by my side in the future?"

"If I do whatever it takes to achieve my goal, then what's the difference between me and an animal?"

Zhou Zheng slowly raised his head, and his turbid eyes turned into a glimmer of light.

He stared straight at Gong Tan, with a look of determination and determination on his face.

Some roads are difficult to walk and full of thorns!

But, someone is destined to leave!

"But!"

Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, Gong Tan's body shook involuntarily. She tried to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Zhou Zheng.

"If I am destined to sacrifice the people I care about in exchange for my future!"

"I!"

"I'd rather not!"

Zhou Zheng's breathing quickened a little, his pupils kept shrinking, and his expression became unprecedentedly serious.

In this life, what he didn't want was to live freely while being bullied and oppressed.

But now, that's not the case!

He not only wants to live with dignity for himself, but also wants to let the people he cares about live!

Otherwise, if you lose the most important person in your life, what if you win the world? !

As Zhou Zheng spoke, he held Gong Tan's slender hand a little tighter.

That kind of force made Gong Tan feel a little pain.

But more importantly, it is the feeling that rises from the deepest part of my heart.

She knew that she had not paid wrongly after all.

However, the more Zhou Zheng behaves like this, the more obvious Gong Tan's desire to die becomes.

"In this world, there are always trade-offs."

"Today, Tan'er has no regrets after hearing His Highness's words."

Shaking his head, Gong Tan took a deep breath, with Zhou Zheng in his eyes and a gentle look on his face.

"Choose!?"

"That's up to me!"

"No one can touch the people I want to protect!"

"Even Emperor Tianjing can't do it!"

With his fists clenched, Zhou Zheng's voice was sonorous and powerful, ringing to the ground.

"Everyone in the world says that I can't defeat Emperor Tianjing, but I have to go against the wind!"

The sparkle in his eyes flashed, and there was a hint of fearlessness in Zhou Zheng's roaring voice.

"Your Highness?"

A feeling of uneasiness kept rising in Gong Tan's heart.

"Fool, do you really think Emperor Tianjing will let me go if I kill you!?"

"Do you really think that if everything goes according to Emperor Tianjing's ideas, he will give me enough time to grow up?!"

"Will not!"

Sighing, Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"When this war between the two countries is over, he will definitely take action against me."

"At that time, not only me, but everyone around me couldn't escape."

"Since he will take action against me sooner or later, why should I follow his wishes now?"

Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed with cold light.

The certainty in his words made Gong Tan's heart sink.

How can it be? !

In the past two years, she had secretly helped Zhou Zheng to figure out all the hidden dangers. At the same time, she also roughly figured out the temperament of Emperor Tianjing.

Emperor Tianjing wants control!

Absolute control!

As long as he thinks Zhou Zheng is still in control, he will not take action at will.

Moreover, Emperor Tianjing could not fail to see the value of Zhou Zheng.

With Emperor Tianjing's ambition, he would not take action easily until Zhou Zheng's final value was exhausted.

"Because the war between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty started from the moment."

"He will understand that the situation is no longer under his control."

Slowly let out the turbid air in his chest.

But Gong Tan obviously didn't understand this sentence.

"The Yuan Dynasty, retreat a hundred miles and vacate the land of Beihai."

"Daxia Kingdom, use the road to go south."

Buzz! ! !

Just two sentences made Gong Tan's heart beat faster and her expression suddenly changed.

"Do you think, at that time, he wouldn't know that everything was set up by me?"

"Do you think, at that time, he will give me time and opportunity to grow!?"

Zhou Zheng's words were like a giant bell, ringing in Gong Tan's heart.

For a moment, Gong Tan was in a daze.

"Your Highness, did you do this on purpose?"

"Deliberately borrowing the power of Daxia to consume the power of the imperial court?"

How can we not see the key to Gong Tan's wisdom? !

"That's right!"

"His Majesty once told me that in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are nothing more than paper tigers."

"But what if his absolute strength is gone?!"

Zhou Zheng had a meaningful expression on his face.

"I don't like being plotted against!"

"I don't like to be manipulated or slaughtered by others!"

"I just want to control my own destiny!"

Zhou Zheng clenched his fists and growled in a deep voice.

For a moment, Gong Tan felt in a trance.

"Your Highness, are you going to completely break up with His Majesty!?"

"In that case, there is really no turning back!"

Gong Tan looked anxious, even crying a little.

What is the point of acting like this and rebelling? ?

Not only will he be spurned by the people of the world, but he will also be suppressed by Emperor Tianjing.

By then, the army will press the border, and Zhou Zheng will probably die!

"The way back!?"

"He didn't come when I was crowned, he ignored me on my coronation day, and he personally deposed me as crown prince!"

"It's already destined that there is no room for maneuver between me and him."

"It's okay not to turn back!"
