The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 212: Don’t Use Ambition in the Wrong Place
Li Xizhen naturally remembered what happened that year, and she understood that he was helping her recall the things that helped her escape from the Liang Palace. But she didn't want to recall those things now, and then looked at him emotionlessly, "So you came here just to talk about these? If you don't get to the point, I won't keep you company."
He also took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and listened to the storytelling on the stage for a while, without saying a word for a while.
Li Xixi couldn't wait any longer, not understanding the other party's purpose. Perhaps it was because of her bad tone, so she had to suppress her patience and tell herself that his father was his father, and he was him. Maybe he came here to remind her of something, and if she missed it, it would be her loss.
She immediately suppressed her impatience, softened her expression, and said, "My dear, please tell me clearly?"
"You think I didn't get to the point, but I didn't say a word in vain." Zhu Youzhen then turned his gaze to her, with a complicated expression, "Zhu Yougui did this simply to use you to please his father. He would be very happy to give him a woman who would produce fear and submission from the bottom of her heart. Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished and he couldn't find your whereabouts, so he had to give up."
At that time, Zhu Yougui spent a lot of effort to track down her whereabouts, but he always wanted his father to look up to him.
Li Xiying suddenly realized that it was a good thing that Long Qi was there to help her in times of crisis, otherwise she would have been in great danger.
She looked at Zhu Youzhen with a tentative look, wanting to know if he had anything else to say. Obviously... Zhu Youzhen's eyes were not clear enough to be understood. The depth of his eyes made it hard to understand. She felt very uncomfortable.
Long Qi's eyes suddenly flashed in her mind. They were as black as obsidian, clear and bright. He showed her no reservations, which made her feel at ease.
After all, there are huge differences between people.
Zhu Youzhen in front of her looked as gentle as jade, but in fact, she couldn't tell whether he was kind or malicious. She also didn't know what his purpose was in suddenly appearing and telling her all this?
Unable to guess or figure out, she could only wait for the other party to make a move before responding. This feeling made her feel uneasy, a long-lost feeling.
He then continued, "You know, there was a big fire in your farm that day, and I secretly rushed there. I was relieved when I saw someone escorting you away."
She pursed her lips, having lost all her patience, and said, "Thank you very much, my dear." After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave.
She was certain that since the other party had not disturbed her for half a year, he must not be interested in her life, or want to sacrifice her like Zhu Yougui did.
No matter what the purpose of what he said this time, she no longer had the patience to listen. There were so many things waiting for her, so how could she be in the mood to chat with him!
Zhu Youzhen grabbed her wrist and asked, "Are you just giving up on revenge?"
Li Xiying was stunned. He couldn't understand what was going on in the other person's mind. Why would he say these things to a daughter who had killed her father?
She put away his hand and sat down again. She understood that it didn't matter what he wanted to express. After all, he had hit the point, which should be the real purpose of his visit!
She said, "With my ability, I naturally can't do it. But what I wonder is, you are her biological son, and you also want me to do this?"
There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, and he said gloomily, "If my mother hadn't lived her entire life for him and prepared for risks for him, how could he be where he is today?"
The words have been spoken, and the sadness in this part is fleeting.
Li Xiying suddenly sneered. After such a long conversation, it was the first time she saw his words and actions truly reaching the bottom of his heart. At least she understood it for a moment.
But he also understood that Zhang Hui almost sacrificed his life for Zhu Wen, but that evil villain couldn't wait to marry his wife before she was even cold in the ground.
So, Zhu Youzhen was speaking up for his mother?
Zhu Youzhen looked at her again, "Of course I know you don't have that ability. He is my father, I know his skills, even if you become his wife or concubine, you still can't hurt him. And I came here this time to tell you that your brother is getting older year by year, I believe you know that my father has the intention to seize the throne..."
Li Xi frowned and glared at him, not understanding why he spoke so bluntly and what he was planning, but she still chose to look at him half-believingly, "So what do you think I should do?"
"Your brother looks obedient, but in fact he has his own ideas from time to time in the court. Even if it's as small as saying 'retire', as long as it makes my father unhappy, he will definitely get angry." Zhu Youzhen rolled up his sleeves and still smiled, "If he can restrain this unquestionable disobedience, perhaps we can live in peace for a few more years. If not, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."
After hearing this, she was thoughtful. After all, she couldn't change the situation with her own strength. But since the man in front of her said so, he must have a way? But he was Zhu Wen's son after all. How could he be so treacherous? Who knows what evil he might have in mind.
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he looked at her steadily and said, "You don't have to doubt me. I am the same person as my mother. I have no ill will towards you."
"It's a pity that even though you told me so much, there's nothing I can do." She tentatively said, showing a slight annoyance.
She tried to turn the situation around and rescue A-di, but her ability was limited. Even if she racked her brains, all she could do was wait. So even if he came to remind her of all this, what could he do?
"Why can't I do it?" Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly and stared at her, calm and composed. "I heard that you don't like that Prince Consort Yu, so what do you think of me?"
Li Xi couldn't help but sneer: "Do you want to be my consort?"
"Why not?" Zhu Youzhen stopped smiling and continued after a long while, "This can solve both your problem and mine."
She raised an eyebrow and repeated the words, "Your question?"
He did not keep it a secret, "If the current princess marries the son of the prime minister, the negative public opinion about the prime minister's killing will certainly ease."
Seeing her impatience, Zhu Youzhen continued, "Don't rush to refute. This is of course a temporary solution. Why is my father in a hurry to eliminate dissidents? Of course, he has no scruples and is preparing for the next step of his ambition. But if I marry the princess, it will be another obstacle for him. He will eliminate all obstacles, but because you are my wife, he will not touch a hair on your head. Then you can enter the palace at will to meet your brother, and naturally you can protect your brother for a few more years... and how do you know what will happen in those years?"
Li Xi couldn't help but sneer. What he said was already subtle and obvious enough. He looked at him quietly and said, "So you want my brother to live a few more years, and you want your father to stop thinking about usurping the throne and follow Cao Cao's example and leave the throne to you?"
She couldn't help laughing, "If I marry you, wouldn't that give you Zhu family more leverage? Then my brother would have a legitimate reason to 'abdicate'? You are really... funny!"
Zhu Youzhen looked at her leisurely, with a slightly raised eyebrow, "How could you miss me like this?"
She raised her eyes and sneered, "After all, I don't know you well. Are you trying to use me as a chess piece? If I'm useful, I'm a good chess piece, and if I'm useless, I'm a useless chess piece. Zhu Youzhen, don't misplace your ambition!"
After that, she stood up and left. Before leaving, she turned to him and said, "I want to thank you for not revealing my whereabouts to your father over the past six months. If you are really a good person, I hope you can continue to keep the secret."
Suddenly the teahouse was bustling with activity, and Zhu Youzhen only saw her figure gradually blending into the crowd.
He was holding the cup in his hand, but somehow it broke in his hand, the porcelain pierced his fingertips, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
