Huaiyu is slightly cool

"Confession? Are you worthy?!" The eldest princess asked with a smirk. Seeing Zhou Huai's silence, she looked even more proud, and then looked at Zhou Huai like a lunatic or a clown and said, "Overestimating one's abilities! Idiots are dreaming! You won't really Do you think that this palace will be controlled by you for the life and death of those people?"

Zhou Huai didn't get angry because of the princess's sudden change of face and sarcasm, but the smile on her face was a little lighter at this time: "Then what if we add these thousands of miles of land?"

When the eldest princess heard this, she was speechless as if someone had suddenly strangled her neck.

"If you don't want it, then I will destroy it. Anyway, the prince and Wuliang City will not get it." Zhou Huai's tone was indifferent, but his expression was very serious.

The eldest princess was silent.In the past, she just thought that Zhou Huai was muddy and couldn't support the wall. It was only now that the eldest princess deeply realized what kind of person Zhou Huai was - a female ruffian.Zhou Huai is actually a shameless, willful and domineering person.She doesn't care about this world, whether it's the survival of the Zhou family who is related to her by blood, or the family of Wu Mingtai who she occasionally mentioned has a special relationship with her, and the helpless and helpless people who struggled to survive but have to stand up for her. Her friend Wu Mingsheng was by her side.She doesn't care about these people, so what exactly does she want?The eldest princess thought hard: Why would she like herself?But how could such a person like someone?

What if Zhou Huai just wanted to make himself feel that she liked him, and then put down his guard?Thinking of this, the Eldest Princess' heart sank fiercely, and a chill grew in her heart, covering her whole body. She looked at Zhou Huai as if examining her, as if she wanted to use her eyes to cut Zhou Huai from the inside out to see what was inside. heart.Zhou Huai, who is so indifferent and cruel and has no taboos, is more likely to be the latter between benefiting the people and harming the world.An annoying uncertain factor that is both good and evil, so... kill?

The eldest princess' eyes were still gentle and calm at this time, but she still couldn't hide the cold light in her eyes.

"You have murderous intent." Zhou Huai said this in a declarative tone, but his eyes were fearless and provocative.

"You think I dare not?

"Do you dare? The life and death of Empress Wei, the crown prince, and the Wei family bound your hands and feet."

The eldest princess took a deep breath, and after calming down a little, she said, "Where do you have the confidence to dare to dictate to my Wu family? You can't just say what you want!"

"But I am a key chess piece, the one that can determine the outcome."

"Then you are sure that I will promise you?"

Zhou Huai looked at the eldest princess who had calmed down, sighed, and said: "If you are just an ordinary woman, spending the first half of your life in the boudoir and the second half in the inner courtyard, caring for your husband and raising your children, I may not be so sure. But As long as you have desires and ambitions in your heart, you must be controlled by others."

"Your so-called liking is nothing more than that!" The eldest princess sneered coldly. The other party's unscrupulous and undisguised domineering made her feel a little uneasy. She didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she could only instinctively attack the other party to protect herself. .

"Love needs means."

The eldest princess looked at Zhou Huai who wanted to forcefully break into her life, and said slowly: "But I don't like you, and I don't bother to seek things out of love."

"I don't mind. How about you give me the jade fish and give me another ten years? As long as you don't get married or refuse my approach in these ten years, it's fine. We can form an alliance, what do you want to do? I will try my best to help you. If you still don’t like me after ten years, I will return the jade fish to you, and I will never bother you again.” Zhou Huai knew in her heart that she could actually plan carefully, and even plan a "Heroes save the beauty" to win the favor of the eldest princess, but she can't estimate how long Wu Mingtai will be patient with her. She is afraid that time is too late, so she chooses such direct and cruel methods as coercion and temptation.

ten years?The eldest princess hesitated.

Zhou Huai continued to coax: "There are thousands of people, and the years are long. I am not persistent in what I do. Maybe I won't like you at some point."

Zhou Huai looked at the eldest princess with a harmless smile. She didn't have perseverance, but she was very patient in hunting.

"Okay, I promise you." The eldest princess hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, because an idea appeared in her heart uncontrollably: as long as I am stronger than you in ten years, then this agreement now is a joke.With her ability, how could she not escape Zhou Huai's restraint in ten years.

Although the eldest princess felt that she was just doing a "delayed strategy", she still felt aggrieved when she agreed. She gritted her teeth to hold back the anger and humiliation, handed the jade fish to Zhou Huai, and gave a stern warning The other party: "But don't go too far in the future, don't force me to kill you beyond the limit."

Zhou Huai took the jade fish from the other party, the corners of her mouth turned up. She didn't take the opportunity to promise some vows to appease the eldest princess, but said sincerely: "No. Although I don't know the meaning of life, I regret my life." , you know that."

The eldest princess was noncommittal to Zhou Huai's words, but nodded slightly, and then remained silent.At this moment, she felt as uncomfortable as if she was blocked by a huge rock, but she could only keep this distress in her heart, and could not tell anyone.And in the following years, this pain gradually penetrated into her heart, which was only the community of the people, and then occupied a corner, growing wildly.

Then, after years of discussing the world's affairs, after tossing and fighting with Zhou Huai, the pride and stamina of the eldest princess was finally broken. The old injury to the bone marrow makes her ache when she thinks about it, but she has never regretted the ten-year period she promised Zhou Huai today.

Zhou Huai personally destroyed the longing princess's hope and yearning for pure love, and even stayed away from love ever since, but she felt at ease and didn't feel guilty at all.Looking at the hazy night outside through the window, Zhou Huai said softly: "I will go to the Taiji Palace early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely get this done. Go back to your room and rest first."

The eldest princess glanced at Zhou Huai and left with a cold face.

In the early morning of the next day, the autumn air was crisp and the weather was fine.

"Life is an extension of a dream, and there are faint tears in the dream. Where to go, find the direction in my heart. Feng Youyou sighs softly in the dream, the road and people are boundless..."

Zhou Huai hummed a song and waited for Wu Mingtai in the Taiji Palace. At this time, she returned to her previous appearance of being superficial, ignorant and unwilling to make progress.

When she hummed for the third time, Wu Mingtai came in from outside the hall, saw her and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Aren't you asking this knowingly?"

Wu Mingtai smiled.After he refused the eldest princess's request to 'discern and judge' those prison ministers, he waited for Zhou Huai to come to him.

"What price did Liang Yue persuade you to move?"

"A deal."

Sitting behind the case, Wu Mingtai picked up the imperial decree that had been written on the case and sent it for review, looked at it for a few times, took out the jade seal and stamped it, and then said: "You can fish in troubled waters."

Zhou Huai sat in front of Wu Mingtai, and said with a playful smile, "Thanks to your exhaustive strategy, she sold herself to me."

Wu Mingtai nodded, and said indifferently: "I am your father, of course I will do it for your own good."

Zhou Huai laughed when she heard the words, because she suddenly remembered that she had said similar things to the eldest princess.From this point of view, she and Wu Mingtai are indeed father and daughter.But if she is easy to coax, the eldest princess just promises to give her ten years in half truth, and she can let go of the grudges in her heart and come to beg the person in front of her.

"Then you won't embarrass me now, will you?"

"Why did I ever really feel sorry for you?"

Zhou Huai smiled and remained silent.

Wu Mingtai didn't say any more, and pointed to the imperial decree on the case table that he had just stamped the jade seal on, and said: "This imperial decree is what Liang Yue wants. There is also this gold order. Seeing the order is like seeing me, to keep you safe in the future. "

Zhou Huai took the imperial decree and looked at it. The general meaning of the imperial decree is that those ministers will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial in the future, the Ministry of Punishment will review, and the Yushitai will supervise. The authoritarian rule was temporarily banned, intending to spare their lives.Moreover, the imperial decree also wrote a stipulation with the meaning of compensation and appeasement: all officials who commit crimes enjoy the privilege of "reduction" and "redemption".

Zhou Huai glanced at Wu Mingtai, moved the imperial decree to his left hand expressionlessly, and stretched out his right hand to take the golden medal in Wu Mingtai's hand. Wu Mingtai hid his hand slightly and said seriously: "This is Have you considered Jing Guo's first gold order since the founding of the country?"

"Ah."

"So sure?"

Zhou Huai spoke lazily, grabbed the golden order directly, looked at it in his hand for a moment, and stuffed it into his arms.Then she glanced at Wu Mingtai who was staring at her closely, coughed a few times, and then said in a flat tone: "It's a bad life anyway, I hope their methods are more interesting." The chance of peace and redemption, these words only flashed in Zhou Huai's mind.

"You don't hide anymore, are you really willing to work hard for her? I didn't expect my child to be an infatuated." Wu Mingtai said with a smile, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Hearing this, Zhou Huai looked at Wu Mingtai with somewhat gloomy eyes, a little displeased.She doesn't like the word "hidden". In her previous life, she could be regarded as a gangster who did many evils. She was on the wanted list of many countries. Patience, but her temper became more violent and perverse, just like her volatile personality, Zhou Huai's face was already cold at this time, and she said coldly: "I just want to find something to do."

Is it because of this lonely life like snow?Or the desire to conquer Wu Liangyue?Wu Mingtai looked at Zhou Huai silently. This child who had always been indifferent and rational to the point of fear asked, "Will you live well for her?"

Zhou Huai nodded: "You still have to be powerful, and you can't let her be snatched away by others."

Wu Mingtai looked at Zhou Huai who was trying hard to love another person, and smiled: "Okay, you come and help me, and I will let you get what you want."

As long as Zhou Huai wanted a dispensable princess, he was willing to help her.And he never told Zhou Huai that the Spirit Race has no love.They have always lived only to live, and strength is their only and only pursuit.

However, Zhou Huai was born and grew up on that alien planet called Earth. In that place where love is the main theme, and love is sung for a long time, Zhou Huai was inevitably affected.When Wu Mingtai discovered this, he was shocked and curious, so he began to pay attention to Zhou Huai's feelings.

When he found out that Zhou Huai fell in love with women because he had no feelings for men, when he saw Zhou Huai's clumsy and stubborn pretending gentleness and deliberate obedience, when he realized that Zhou Huai's concealing his nature and putting on a false mask was not enough. After going to play the image of a perfect lover, he couldn't bear to tell her this fact.

Zhou Huai doesn't know how to love, she can only grab another person like a drowning person finding a life-saving straw.But women are naturally sensitive. In love, she knows whether you really love her or not.

Wu Mingtai always hoped that Zhou Huai would focus on his career.But she doesn't want money, power, or beauty.When Zhou Huai knew that she might live in the near end of her life, she gave up all her desires, and even resigned herself to life and death.

Wu Mingtai hates iron but not steel.He knew that Zhou Huai was unwilling to be reconciled to love, so he had no choice but to do this, pushed Wu Liangyue out, and then urged Zhou Huai to move forward like a carrot tied to a donkey.And what he hopes most now is that Wu Liangyue will not like Zhou Huai.Because even if he could take out another carrot, Zhou Huai wouldn't be fooled twice like a donkey.

Zhou Huai didn't know what he was thinking, so he nodded indifferently.She had to pay a price for what she wanted, and she had already thought about it before she came.

"Okay, you can move out of Yongle Palace in the afternoon and live in Fengyiyuan, which is close to the library. I have found a teacher for you, and you will go there to listen to lectures every day from tomorrow on."

Zhou Huai scratched his head, and suddenly felt the mood of the eldest princess yesterday, the retribution came so quickly.She glanced at Wu Mingtai, and finally nodded helplessly in agreement.
