No wonder Gong Yayue was so surprised.

The document Dan Ersa asked her to sign contained many clauses that endangered the interests of the empire.

Once it is made public, she will not be able to get rid of the crime of treason.

That's why she didn't want to defend herself after she was imprisoned.

However, no one would have thought that Chu Zhou did not hand in this document...

Why did he do this?

Gong Yayue seemed to be moved by something in her heart.

An almost impossible conjecture is just around the corner.

"Chu Zhou." She said, with a touch of probing in her tone, "If I say that I have not colluded with Dan Ersha, I will not know the whole plan between her and Zheng Hongan. Would you believe it?"

Chu Zhou's expression moved, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not."

He gave advice in a calm tone: "Gong Hongxu is not the kind of person who will kill you all. He will care about the friendship between you and your siblings. And your father handed you over to him for trial, and he also intends to let you live. As long as you want to They are resigned, and they will repent with all their heart in the future, and they will no longer covet the position of the king, and they will naturally let you live."

Gong Yayue didn't seem to listen to his suggestion.

She stared at him stubbornly, insisting on asking an answer: "Do you believe me or not?"

Chu Zhou's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes fell on the fragment in his hand.

There was a look of coldness in his eyes, and he asked lightly: "You have been chasing power all your life, is there anything you dare not do?"

"So, you don't believe me? You don't believe I'm innocent..."

Gong Yayue shook her head, obviously unable to accept this result.

Chu Zhou didn't intend to say more, he left a message: "Consider my proposal, this is your only chance to save yourself."

Then, turn around and prepare to leave.

There was the clatter of shackles behind him.

Gong Yayue held him back.

Her thin fingers gripped the sleeves of his cold gray suit, trembling slightly.

"Chu Zhou, you are lying!" Gong Yayue said firmly.

She snatched the fragment from his hand, as if grasping the ironclad evidence, she said: "If you don't believe me, you won't keep this document quietly! You won't even come here to say these things to me! You know that I am innocent, even if I want to be the heir of the Lord's Mansion, I will not be so stupid as to cooperate with Zheng Hongan and Dan Ersha!"

She took a breath, gritted her teeth and said with a heavy tone, "You're right, I've been chasing power all my life and am very ambitious, how could I turn myself into a puppet emperor!"

Chu Zhou turned around slowly, this time, he did not avoid her gaze.

He asked directly: "Then now, do you still want to fight for the position of king?"

Gong Ya smiled sadly and asked, "Do you think I still have a chance?"

She has already suffered a complete defeat. Although she is not reconciled, she will not have those illusory dreams again.

Chu Zhou saw her expression and had an answer.

He said softly: "In the future, please be an ordinary person with peace of mind."

After speaking, he took another step to leave.

When he was about to walk out the door, Gong Yayue suddenly asked: "Chu Zhou, why did you abandon me back then?"

Chu Zhou stopped in his tracks and didn't look back.

He said: "Just like you don't want to be Dan Ersa's puppet, I don't want the whole Chu family to become a slave of the royal family."

The voice fell, and his figure disappeared at the door.

Gong Yayue looked at the empty doorway, clutching the fragment tightly in her hand, a tear slipped down from her eye socket

She murmured in a low voice: "You don't even know why I desperately want to be the lord of a country..."
