Lin Jiuqing looked at Zhou Ruo for a long time, and finally said: "Even if I agree, His Majesty may not agree."

"No, he will definitely agree," Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Jiuqing and said very confidently, "He cares about you very much and will never allow you to be hurt. He will never tolerate digging up those bloody things in the past and putting them in front of you."

"So, as long as you promise me, His Majesty will definitely listen to you."

Lin Jiuqing picked up the teacup and took a sip. He turned his head to look at Zhou Chen standing aside and said softly, "Master Zhou, what do you think about this?"

Zhou Chen raised his hand and wiped his face, then looked at Zhou Ruo very seriously and said word by word: "A Ruo, are you willing to follow me out of the palace?"

Zhou Ruo was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I have been with His Majesty for so many years, loyally and devotedly, and have never asked for anything." Zhou Chen said slowly, "Now, for you, I am willing to sacrifice my old face and ask His Majesty for a favor. Aruo, are you willing to give up everything and live with me out of the palace?"

Zhou Ruo stood up at once, without even thinking, and said sternly, "Impossible."

Then, she looked at Zhou Chen with red eyes and choked up and said, "Cousin, you know how hard it is for me to get to this point now. Do you have the heart to let me give up everything and leave?"

"No way. I will never leave, and I will never go back to the past. I don't want to live a cowardly life, unable to hold my head up. I want power, status, and wealth. I will never bow down to others again. I want everyone to look up to me."

She had been miserable enough in the first half of her life, and she didn't want to live like that anymore in the second half.

Zhou Chen was also a little annoyed: "But if you don't stop, you won't even be alive!"

Zhou Chen quickly glanced at Lin Jiuqing who was sitting next to him drinking tea, took a deep breath, and said to Zhou Ruo: "The Empress Chen is giving you a way out, you should cherish it. Stop making trouble, put everything aside, and follow me."

Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Jiuqing who was sitting there drinking tea, then looked at Zhou Chen, and finally slowly took a step back and said one word to Zhou Chen very firmly: "No."

In her opinion, she had enough chips in her hand to preserve everything she had now.

Zhou Chen raised his hands to cover his cheeks, took a deep breath, turned to look at Lin Jiuqing, and said softly: "Thank you, Empress Chen Fei, I... can only do this."

Lin Jiuqing slowly put down the teacup, looked at Zhou Chen for a while, and then said, "Sir Zhou, Your Majesty and I have done our best."

Zhou Chen nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything else, but looked at Zhou Ruo: "Okay, I promise you."

Zhou Ruo's eyes widened immediately: "Are you serious?"

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "You have the upper hand over me, so I can only agree."

Zhou Ruo took a few steps forward with some excitement and said to Lin Jiuqing: "Don't worry, I will make proper arrangements for the fake daughter of the Lu family and will never let her fall into the hands of others. As for your life experience, I will absolutely keep it a secret and will not let others know."

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "Then I'll trouble your Majesty to take care of it."

Zhou Ruo looked at Zhou Chen: "Cousin, did you see it?"

Zhou Chen said nothing, his face looking cold.

Zhou Ruo looked at Zhou Chen like this, and the smile on his face faded a little. Then he turned to Lin Jiuqing and said, "I want to see you talk to His Majesty in person."
