Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

After a moment, his voice came from above my head, "Does he make you fall in love?"

She couldn't tell his emotions, but she firmly denied his guess, "No."

Hearing her answer, the answer is another one.

He didn't press the issue any further, because he knew she wouldn't tell him.

That man had the purpose she wanted, and he was even different from the man called Xiang Heng. Who was he? What was his identity?

"Remember, even in this situation, I can ask you to do anything."

"So, you must listen to me... otherwise I will execute you at any time, understand?"

He was clearly holding her in his arms, afraid that she would leave or be snatched away by someone else, but he still kept repeating these horrible words.

"Okay." She responded obediently.

His forced demands on her never made her feel afraid, but rather an irresistible warmth.

I thought he would let go, but he just held her, leaning on the bed, with his hands around her body showing no intention of letting go.

She liked the warmth of being hugged by him and liked falling asleep listening to his heartbeat. This made her feel that this was not a dream, that she really had this warmth and that someone would protect her unconditionally like this.

Even though she knew it wasn't real, she liked it.

What about him? Will he like it?

She moved her lips and wanted to say something, "Your Highness..."

"Shut up." He interrupted her rudely.

He didn't want to hear her explanation, let alone her bargaining.

And she seemed to understand, she leaned against his chest, a faint smile on her lips, and fell asleep peacefully.

After a moment, feeling her steady breathing, he pulled the quilt over her in his arms.

After confirming that she was really asleep and would not resist, he slightly loosened his arms around her and looked at her on his body.

Her thick eyelashes spread flat under her eyes, and her cheeks were shining white in the moonlight. Her face was very small, as if it could be covered by one hand, and her delicate facial features fit perfectly on her cheeks.

No matter how you look at her, she is just a petite little girl, but her eyes are full of stories, enriching her unique soul, the terrible lies, and the goals she wants to achieve.

Perhaps only when she fell asleep could he look at her without any worries. He was obviously very angry and wanted to hurt her, so why could she sleep so peacefully beside him?

She in his arms vaguely felt the distance between them loosening, and the little hand placed on her chest naturally wrapped around his waist, as if she wanted to hug him.

His heart was filled with ripples at her every move. At this moment, he could no longer suppress himself and hugged her even tighter.

He knew that he shouldn't be greedy for these things, but now, even letting her go became so difficult.

He had long since been unable to convince himself to let go.

The relationship of mutual exploitation that they talk about has become more profound and is even beyond the control of both parties.

……

The next day, in the court.

Jiang Zhuo went to the palace immediately after being summoned.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Zhuo knelt down and saluted.

So many things have happened recently, and although it seems that they have nothing to do with me, Your Majesty certainly doesn't think so.

"Jiang Qing is here, please stand up." Xiao Yanzhou glanced at him kneeling on the ground, but did not put down the memorial in his hand.

After a moment, seeing Jiang Zhuo lowering his head and remaining unmoved, Xiao Yanzhou raised his eyes.

"What happened?" Xiao Yanzhou asked deliberately.

"This old minister knows his crime."

Xiao Yanzhou's pupils shrank slightly, "What crime?"

"Your Majesty has ordered the punishment, and the guilty minister has been determined. I believe that it is because of my poor supervision that they were able to disrupt the political direction. I should be punished as well."

After hearing this, Xiao Yanzhou frowned for a moment, then turned into a faint smile.

"Jiang Qing doesn't have to take the blame on himself."

"I am guilty of this. If this kind of thing can be stopped, it will not cause more trouble to Your Majesty. Please punish them together, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people."

Xiao Yanzhou stared at Jiang Zhuo who was kneeling on the ground, "Since Jiang Qing has said so, it seems I have no choice but to punish him."

Jiang Zhuo just knelt on the ground and bowed his head to accept the order. Xiao Yanzhou could see the clue.

"In that case..."

"Then let's fine Mr. Jiang half a year's salary."

Jiang Zhuo on the ground was slightly stunned, and raised his head in a trance, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"What? Are you still not satisfied?" Xiao Yanzhou noticed the confusion in his eyes.

Jiang Zhuo also reacted and bowed quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I accept the blame."

"Get up."

"Yes." After hearing the order, Jiang Zhuo slowly stood up.

"Actually, I called you because I want to discuss something with you." Xiao Yanzhou's attitude softened, and his mood was not affected at all by recent events.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Zhuo quickly bowed his head to indicate.

"Although these things have happened recently, the position of Imperial Censor is not easy to be vacant. Does my dear minister have any recommendations?"

"This..." Jiang Zhuo's mind was suddenly filled with thoughts.

Given the current situation, he didn't dare to interfere in this matter at all. It was impossible that His Majesty had called him here just to hear his recommendation. If he made a few more suggestions, His Majesty would definitely think that the recent events were related to him.

"Since I have already made a mistake, I dare not recommend you again without authorization."

"Speak now, I forgive you." Xiao Yanzhou pressed on with a smile.

After careful consideration, Jiang Zhuo reluctantly expressed his opinion. However, to Xiao Yanzhou, there was no actual candidate, and at most it was just an analysis of the people in the position.

"Mr. Jiang has a point."

"According to Lord Jiang's opinion, I need to carefully determine the personnel."

"Yes." Jiang Zhuo quickly followed up.

Xiao Yanzhou did not make things difficult for him and remained silent.

"Does your majesty have any other instructions?"

"It's nothing serious." Xiao Yanzhou took a sip of tea nonchalantly while thinking.

"Then...if Your Majesty is fine, I will not disturb you..."

"By the way." Xiao Yanzhou interrupted, "Has the matter of Lord Jiang's youngest daughter been properly dealt with recently?"

Jiang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that he would continue to pursue the matter.

"Yes, everything is fine now." Jiang Zhuo calmed down.

"Really? It seems he has returned home safely." Xiao Yanzhou picked up the memorial and noticed his slightly changing expression.

"My little girl is naughty, I will definitely discipline her strictly."

"Naughty?" Xiao Yanzhou frowned slightly, as if he heard a new joke.

"Lord Jiang, this seems to be different from what I heard."

Jiang Zhuo quickly added, probably because the rumor could not be completely dispelled, "I dare not, my daughter is just a little eloquent, and the rumor is just exaggerated."

"No matter what, since she is a smart girl, we should not bury her talent and should cultivate her well." These seemingly plain words have profound meanings.

In panic, Jiang Zhuo quickly nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"It's okay, go down."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Seeing Jiang Zhuo leaving, Xiao Yanzhou sneered, "Oh, you are really an old fox."

Whether it's the recent events or Jiang Qingyu's matter, they're all being hidden from him. What could that mean if not that he has something to hide?

For something like recommendation, if it were in the past, Jiang Zhuo would have mentioned two or three people, openly or secretly, but today, he didn't mention a word.

"He Yi, send someone to monitor Jiang Zhuo and the Jiang family in the next few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty." He Yi quickly accepted the order.

There was an ambiguous light in his eyes. What exactly did Jiang Zhuo want Jiang Qingyu to do?
