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

They played until the evening and had a lot of fun. Xiao Yanzhou kept giving her instructions until they left, and even wanted to arrange more guards in her house, but she refused.

But he still told her that he would not allow anyone to bully her again, no doubt telling her that, not even her father.

Xiao Yanzhou got on the carriage, and only after he left did he give instructions to He Yi who was standing beside him.

"Spread the word."

"Your Majesty, do you need to involve... Lord Jiang?" He Yi, who had his head bowed, raised his head slightly and paid attention to his eyes.

"Well, I want him to know who can make this decision for Xiao Yu."

"It is your subordinate who understands."

She watched Xiao Yanzhou leave and lowered her head to look at the token in her hand. He was very kind to her.

However, it is no longer within my expectations. Is it really a good idea to do this?

She put the token away, returned to the house, and prepared herself to face the pain.

Sure enough, after a while, Qian Yun sneaked in from behind.

"Princess, His Highness asks you to go back immediately."

"Yeah, okay." She just stood up and left with him.

Qianyun also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to use brute force against the county lord.

After returning to the palace, Qian Yun took her directly back to the house to wait, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Yanqing was already standing at the door.

She smiled and subconsciously moved closer to him, but stopped when she was still one step away. She did not reach out to hug him or hold his hand.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, maybe she’s just worried about something.

This obvious difference undoubtedly added fuel to Xiao Yanqing's anger. In his opinion, she was unwilling to get close to the emperor after having his protection and love.

"Yan Qing." She called his name with a smile as always.

But he just stared at her, his anger overwhelming, but it was eventually overshadowed by the pain.

His eyes stayed on the red mark on her cheek that had not yet faded. He stretched out his hand uncontrollably, but when he came to his senses, he restrained himself and let it go.

"Is there anything you want to explain?" Bone-chilling words burst out from his throat.

She was immersed in his horrible voice, as if it pierced her body and ice spread in her heart. Even though it was within her control, it was still so uncomfortable.

Seeing that she didn't answer immediately and the smile faded from her face, he took it as a tacit agreement that there was nothing to say.

"You lied to me, didn't you?"

"To be precise, you are the one who deceived everyone, right?" He asked what was in his mind. Even though everything was so clear, he still expected her to give a different explanation.

She raised her eyes to look at him, her black pupils permeated with the coldness reflected by the moonlight.

She finally spoke, "Yan Qing, are you referring to the things I hid from you?"

"Yes."

"I…"

"Yuer! Tell me your real plan and...purpose!" He raised his voice suddenly, burning anger and grief mixed together.

He didn't want to listen to her explanation anymore, he had to figure it out for himself.

But this time, she did not refute, but...

"it is good."

She met his eyes, all her emotions hidden in her eyes, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Brother Zhou, I have always known that he has never dispelled his suspicion of me. He naturally guessed that I was Jiang Zhuo's spy."

"So, I want to use this opportunity to eliminate all his doubts, because he is also testing me. I am sure that he will listen to my way to resolve the disputes caused by the mountain village."

"Jiang Zhuo, I didn't tell him that I succeeded. But as long as I propose to use the cause of my mother's death as a bargaining chip, haha, Jiang Zhuo's deep thoughts, he will definitely believe it." She laughed uncontrollably while speaking, mockingly, yet extremely desolately.

"After the execution, Jiang Zhuo will come to my rescue and settle accounts with me. Your Majesty will have someone monitor me in order to determine whether Jiang Zhuo wants to use me and his attitude towards me."

"As long as Jiang Zhuo reveals his true nature to me, His Majesty will believe me, and I will have more say. He will also be more wary of Jiang Zhuo in his heart. The emperor cannot tolerate the disloyalty of his subjects."

She raised the corners of her lips slightly and stopped talking there.

"What about me?" he then asked.

"If Yan Qing doesn't have to participate, wouldn't that have already eroded His Majesty's trust in him? If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty should also ask Yan Qing's opinion in the court. Wouldn't it be possible to win over some people by helping him?"

"This is just on the surface. What's your real purpose?! If not, you wouldn't have to hide it from me!" He dismissed her objection.

For someone who can even take advantage of her dead mother, what else can she not do and what can she not do.

"Yan Qing won't let me go, right?" Her voice was very soft, as if this was the only solution she could think of.

She was right. Yes, he would not let her go. He did not want her to get hurt, nor did he want her to come into contact with the emperor. But was that all? Was that the only reason he did not tell her?

He didn't believe it and couldn't think of any other answer!

He initially thought that she wanted to use him to get ahead of the emperor, but why did she not hide her intimate behavior with the emperor at all when she knew he was coming, and did not avoid his guards?

What exactly is this for? !

His heart was like a ball of string that tied his heart tightly and couldn't be untied.

"You have never changed, your original intention, purpose, and... You have never thought about trusting me, right?" His heavy voice seemed to have fallen to the bottom.

She lowered her eyes, bitterness spread from her heart, and she did not answer.

Because he would never know how much it would cost her to believe...to give her a lifetime of trust, she was afraid.

She didn't dare, nor would she, leave all the decisions to him.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, he clenched his fists uncontrollably, and then slowly loosened them.

"Without my permission, she is not allowed to step out of this room, and no one is allowed to see her." After saying this, he left without looking back.

He left her sight and she heard the door close. The cold wind blew into the room and the candles on the wall swayed gently in the wind. She was the only one left in the room.

She stood there blankly, feeling the pain in her heart, but there were no tears on her face.

She read out the words she had just left unfinished, "My real purpose... is to create a crisis of losing me for you, so that you can understand my true side. I will use any means, no matter how despicable it may be, and finally... I will tell you the truth."

"I stay in your heart again and again. The more painful it is for you, does it mean that you care about me more? Does it mean that... we can deepen our obsession with each other in the pain of entanglement?"

"Hehehe..." She smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled.

Morbidity is mixed in with the laughter. There is no joy, only the use of any means to achieve the goal.

But is this really the case? Is this what love is all about?

She didn't know, but she knew.

It’s not enough, the love she wants is not enough!

The next day.

Xiao Wenshu quickly realized what had happened in the mansion.

Qing Yu came back and was now confined in the house by his brother.

"Brother! What did Qingyu do wrong? You want to lock her up?!" He rushed into the study, anxious and trying his best to control his emotions, but he couldn't hide his worry.

In the past, when he did something wrong, his brother would never lock him up, even if he made him copy or practice martial arts as punishment.

Xiao Yanqing remained calm, seemingly unperturbed, until he slowly uttered these words, "She did nothing wrong."

"Then why did brother lock her up?" Xiao Wenshu didn't understand. It must be because Qingyu had done something wrong that her brother acted like this.

"Why...do you need a reason?" He didn't even raise his eyes while speaking.

But the more he didn't care, the more anxious Xiao Wenshu became. Seeing this, he bent down and knelt on the ground.

"elder brother!"

"I know Qingyu made you angry... If you want to punish her, I... I can bear it for her. Please don't lock her up, okay?"

Hearing this, his gaze shifted to Wen Shu. The scene before him seemed familiar.

The only difference is that I have fallen into the "trap" she designed, and my heart is tied tightly by her, and I can't escape.
