After listening to Zhou Ruo's words, Lin Jiuqing looked up at her quietly for a while, and finally said slowly: "So, this is what you care about?"

Zhou Ruo's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"

Lin Jiuqing blinked, looked at Zhou Ruo and said, "I thought that you loved His Majesty, so you couldn't tolerate me."

Zhou Ruo: "..."

Zhou Ruo opened his mouth, but no words came out for several times. He just stood there stiffly.

Zhou Chen, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhou Ruo in shock. After a long while, he managed to say, "Why, why are you doing this?"

He always thought that his cousin was a smart person, but who knew that she would make such a mistake.

Mo Xiao is a rare handsome man in the world, but he is not an ordinary person, he is the king of a country, a dignified emperor! How foolish it is to ask for the love of an emperor?

As long as Zhou Ruo stayed quietly in the harem and did things to please His Majesty, and with the Second Prince, she would enjoy endless honor and wealth in her life.

However, if she had any inappropriate thoughts about His Majesty and expected the emperor's true love... then her life would be over.

Especially when the emperor still has someone he loves.

Zhou Ruo's eyes flickered, and slowly the corners of her eyes turned red. Finally, she looked at Lin Jiuqing fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Why, can't I do that?"

"Why can you do it but I can't?" Zhou Ruo said loudly with a somewhat crazy expression, "You and I grew up as a concubine's daughter, trampled underfoot since childhood. How much nobler are you than me? Why did you suddenly become a legitimate daughter, and now you are given the identity of an orphan of the Lin family? Is that enough for you?"

"Why can you do it but I can't? I can do it now."

Zhou Ruo's breathing was a little heavy, and the words she spoke were almost shouted, as if this could give her more confidence.

Moreover, her words almost revealed Lin Jiuqing's entire life experience.

Zhou Chen, who was standing next to him, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He really wanted Zhou Ru to shut up, but he also knew that Zhou Ru could not turn back now.

Lin Jiuqing was the calmest among the three from beginning to end. It seemed as if she had already thought of this result.

She looked at Zhou Ruo for a long while before she sighed and said softly, "It has nothing to do with your identity."

Zhou Ruo said loudly: "Then tell me, what does it have to do with anything?"

Lin Jiuqing said: "It has something to do with people!"

"If he loves you, he will like you even if you are a beggar on the street. If he doesn't love you, he won't even look at you even if you are a fairy in the sky."

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lin Jiuqing stood up at this time, walked a few steps closer to Zhou Ruo, and said softly: "Besides, don't you think you are asking for too much?"

"When you entered the palace, you had an agreement with His Majesty. In addition to his love, status, power, position and wealth, he gave you everything. Why did he keep his promise, but you wanted to take advantage of it and try to get what should not belong to you?"

Zhou Ruo took two steps back, not daring to look into Lin Jiuqing's eyes, and only said: "If, if you hadn't appeared, perhaps His Majesty would have different feelings for me... We were obviously very good at the beginning, and it was only after you came that everything changed."

Lin Jiuqing frowned: "That's just your one-sided illusion, he never meant that."
