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

"You promised him, so he felt relieved to let you come back." He was worried that this might be Jiang Zhuo's way of seducing her.

If she wanted to know the cause of her mother's death, she might...

"It's a natural opportunity." She noticed the wandering look in his face and added, "He won't tell me."

He raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "Why are you so sure?"

"He is an accomplice. If he tells me, it only means that I am of no use to you." This is the analysis she understood Jiang Zhuo would give.

He looked at her expression and wondered why she could remain calm despite such cruel words.

"I will find out the truth."

"I will help you."

"Okay." She smiled. She felt relieved about his help.

He then asked the second question, "Did they mention Gu?"

"Well, have I met His Highness, and have you done anything to me?" She answered Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Mo's inquiries frankly, not ruling out that they had seen him enter the Huanxiang Pavilion.

He seemed to be thinking, "Jiang Zhuo is suspicious?"

She knew he meant their partnership.

"Yes, but I have dispelled that doubt." She didn't look worried at all.

"Why? What did you say?" he was quite curious.

She shook her head. "I didn't say anything."

"You...did what?" He rephrased his question.

She curved her eyebrows, gave a mischievous smile and bewitching black pupils, "Your Highness, do you really want to know?"

He pursed his lips and reminded, "Jiang Qingyu!"

She thought for a moment and gave an answer, her eyes instantly becoming gloomy. "It's... fear."

"Fear?!"

"Are you telling Jiang Zhuo that you are afraid of being alone?"

He found it funny. From beginning to end, she didn't look like she was afraid of him at all.

"I didn't tell them. They found it themselves."

"Myself, how did you deceive them?" He immediately understood that this was another way for her to mislead people, but he was also curious about her approach.

"Being afraid of one person, unable to bear hearing his name, his voice, or anything related to him, will make you fall into hopeless panic." She searched for that feeling in her memory.

At this moment, he saw endless fear in her dark eyes.

He remembered that she did the same thing to Jiang Mo last time, and the lie could be so realistic.

But why, he still felt that fear, the fear and sadness suppressed in her heart, not towards him, not even towards Jiang Zhuo.

"What exactly are you afraid of..."

"Your Highness!"

He wanted to ask, but she interrupted him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness still has to plan what to do next, whether to come and see me or not." She reminded him. She didn't want to answer the question he just wanted to ask, nor did she want to stir up that kind of emotion at this moment.

He noticed that she was trying to change the subject, so he responded after some hesitation and did not pursue the matter further.

And the feeling she gave him was that there were lies hidden in the truth, both true and false. Just as she said, if you believe it, it is true, and if you don’t believe it, it is false.

But he didn't understand why she told him this. Wouldn't it be better to keep it a secret from him? She was so smart that she must have known that this would make him doubt her previous actions.

After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness has not told me what's happening outside."

Seeing this, he told her lightly, and she lowered her eyes as if she was considering it seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness." She looked up at him.

He didn't understand where the word "thank you" came from, "Why thank you?"

"Even if I can convince Jiang Zhuo, I can't guarantee that I can return within the limited time. I can't control the time. This is a loophole." She has always been very clear about this.

"Without your Highness's help, how could I come back on time?"

He suddenly felt unhappy. She clearly knew it and didn't even ask him to do it. If he didn't do anything, what would she do? !

Is this how this crazy woman gambles with her life? !

"Jiang Qingyu!" he raised his voice suddenly.

She was stunned for a moment.

"If you knew that, why didn't you tell me in advance? Also, you already expected that they would hurt you, right?"

"Yes," she admitted.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

He admitted that he guessed they might punish her, but he never thought they would be so cruel, even using torture, and she just endured it without fighting back once? !

"I'm afraid... Your Highness is soft-hearted." She smiled faintly, calmly and peacefully.

Although his expression was uncertain, his heart tightened sharply at the sound of this word.

Yes, he would be soft-hearted towards her, and this was a fact he had to admit.

He was very angry. He was becoming increasingly helpless towards her.

"Did you do it on purpose?! Did you do it on purpose to make me feel guilty and upset?"

Did she think that she could control his heart at will, so she tried this?

"Your Highness, don't be upset. From the beginning to the end, I think this is what I should do."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be like letting Your Highness waste these six months in vain?"

She admitted that she did it on purpose. She needed to deepen the impression Xiao Yanqing had on her in her heart. This was a perfect opportunity, a self-torture tactic, whether for Jiang Zhuo or for him.

He was really angry but didn't know where to vent it. Facing her innocent eyes and bruised face, he couldn't speak, for fear that his tone would be too harsh and scare her.

Seeing his angry face and the fact that he didn't utter a word for a long time, I understood how annoyed and frustrated he was.

"Next time...I will definitely tell you."

"There won't be a next time!" he retorted.

She was startled, lowered her eyes, stared at the water in the teacup without saying a word.

But even like this, she looked so pitiful in his eyes.

He pursed his lips, realizing that he was too harsh, "I'm not blaming you... it's..."

He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

After hesitating, "The doctor said I need to rest more recently, so I'll take a nap first."

Hearing his suggestion, she nodded, and just as she was about to move, he took the lead and picked her up, until he gently placed her on the bed.

She suddenly remembered, "Your Highness, if Jiang Zhuo goes to Huanxiang Pavilion to find me..."

"I will take care of it. Just take a good rest during this period and don't think about anything."

"Okay." She responded obediently.

He stayed by her side until she fell asleep, then he left quietly.

He returned to the house and asked Qianyun to call a doctor.

"Your Highness." The doctor bowed and saluted.

He waved his hand. "How is she?"

“It doesn’t seem to have the same reaction as before.”

"As if?" He didn't like this word.

The doctor was startled and quickly changed his words, "No, I am sure that the young lady did not have the previous condition."

He was suspicious, thinking that it was the Jiang family that made her feel unwell, but now...

"Is it because of the previous conditioning?"

"It's possible, but I think it's more because the young lady adjusted herself."

"Own…"

"Your Highness, I wonder if the young lady still has the same condition as before when she goes to sleep at night?"

He recalled the week, "No, nothing but pain."

He recalled what she said in his arms, "It's so warm" and "With you by my side, I won't..."

Was it because he was there? Or maybe it was because someone was by his side?

But she was tortured in the Jiang family, why didn't she...

"The cause of the young lady's illness comes from the pain in her heart. Perhaps she has let it go herself." The doctor gave a reasonable answer.

"Okay, I understand. Go down."

Although he didn't quite understand it, he hoped so.
