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

He turned his head and no longer looked at her with contempt.

"Why, are you going to stand there and talk to me?"

After some hesitation, she took a step forward and sat down opposite him.

"It seems that it is indeed different from when you begged me to let you go."

"What on earth do you want to do with me, Your Highness?!" His repeated contempt and belittlement made her visibly anxious.

"What to do..." He fixed his gaze on her, "Since you are so smart, guess what."

She pursed her lips, not wanting to know the answer, "I don't know."

He didn't seem to mind her attitude at the moment, "I want you to do something."

Her eyes widened. To her, the words were incredibly ridiculous. "You want me to work for His Highness?!"

"Your Highness...Hasn't our Jiang family...always been regarded as your enemy?"

"That's right. If I hadn't intended to let you go, would you be alive now?" He did not deny it.

"You said you intended to let me go?! You're lying! You're lying!" She gritted her teeth in anger and stood up uncontrollably. Her tone and expression showed the grievance of being slandered.

"Otherwise, do you think you can escape from my palace?"

"It's ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!" Despite her anger, she still controlled her voice.

"How did you torture me in the past? Have you forgotten everything?! You made me take off my clothes in front of everyone! You made me suffer every day! The pain in my body! The humiliation in my soul! Have you forgotten everything?!"

The overly excited emotions made tears well up in her eyes, and her voice became choked, "Now Your Highness is saying that you let me go?!"

When he met her flickering eyes, his heart was suddenly touched.

In an instant, he remembered her reminder, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and responded calmly, "That is the price you chose to pay for your life."

"Are you trying to say that all this is my own fault?!"

He was not interested in her complaints and continued, "I heard that your father doesn't love you and your brother bullies you. Are you willing to sacrifice your life to protect such a family?"

To him, it was just a stupid joke.

Even if she was exposed, she was not surprised at all, because this was the truth. "Even if they don't love me, they are still my family. I will never forget this blood connection, and I cannot forget it."

"I really don't know whether you are ignorant or have backbone."

"But I'm not here to bargain with you today."

She looked at him with a slightly changed expression and just listened to what he said next.

"Your father probably hasn't found the man who saved you. Where do you think he is now?"

Her body seemed to freeze, and she couldn't believe it.

He relaxed for a moment before sitting down, or to be more precise, slumped in the seat.

She mustered up the courage to ask the follow-up question, controlling her trembling voice, "Your Highness...what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Do what you are good at and meet some guests for me."

"Your Highness, do you want me to hurt my family?"

This is impossible for her at this moment!

He didn't care about her reaction at all from beginning to end, "Think carefully about Jiang Qingyu."

"You are a smart person. Don't do stupid things. Whether it is power or influence, I have always been above his ability. Moreover, I have found his accomplice and controlled his potential power."

"So, it's only a matter of time before Jiang Zhuo is overthrown. When that happens, no one will dare to save you except me."

She did not respond for a long time after hearing these words, as if a hopeless result was already before her and she had no choice.

Time passed by bit by bit, and at this moment, the door was opened.

The maid silently brought tea and placed it in front of them.

She seemed to be in a desperate trance, but in fact her nerves were tense.

The maid didn't look at her, but she had never seen this maid before, so she must have been sent by Jiang Zhuo.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, she specifically told Hua Niang not to interfere in today's affairs. Even if she was exposed, there must be no accidents in Huanxiang Pavilion at this moment.

The maid put down the tea and walked away, as if the final decision was entirely left to her.

Her eyes, glistening with tears, were fixed on the tea in front of him, and finally, moved towards his eyes.

At this moment, they looked at each other, and he seemed to understand what she wanted to say.

Is there something wrong with his tea?

He really didn't understand why the tea was not prepared in advance. So that's it.

Jiang Zhuo's sudden change of mind was a test for Jiang Qingyu? !

"Your Highness... please... don't hurt him." Her trembling voice could no longer hold back her tears.

He stared at her tears, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and his fingers clenched and then loosened.

"That depends on what you do."

"Your Highness... I am willing to exchange my life for... I cannot..."

"Jiang Qingyu." He interrupted her, "It's easy to kill you."

She was startled, and after a moment of silence, she wiped the tears from her cheeks and asked, "Since Your Highness is sure to win, why does he need me?"

"Because you can give me more useful information. Besides, who told you that my only enemy is Jiang Zhuo?"

She pursed her lips and said, "I can only agree to meet the guests, Your Highness. As for the rest, I can't do anything about it."

"Okay, no problem."

"You just need to follow my request."

She held the tea in both hands and said, "Your Highness, please... show mercy to my father."

"Heh." He curled his lips and sneered.

She still had the hatred she had for Jiang Zhuo, but the words "show mercy" were her only conscience, and the lie was perfect.

She sighed, "Then Your Highness and I will use tea instead of wine as a pledge of our oath."

The words fell and he drank it all in one gulp.

He watched her movements hesitantly, with countless questions running through his mind.

Did she want him to drink it? What would happen to her if he didn't drink it? Failure? Death? What would he do if it was really poisonous?

But all these doubts ended with her next action.

She reached out to grab the teacup in front of him. Now these two cups of tea had to be empty. She had pushed herself into a desperate situation. She was willing to take a gamble, as long as... she could hold on until Jiang Zhuo left.

As long as he... is still alive.

In a state of confusion, a female voice emerged from his mind, "Haha, do you think that if you drink the poisoned wine, he will become yours?!"

She was stunned.

Not so…

No matter her identity or Jiang Qingyu's identity, he was not yet willing to give everything for her.

"Have you forgotten your oath? You are cold-blooded and ruthless... You don't look ruthless now..."

Yes, you can...

She was unwilling to fail, and even more unwilling to let him die!

No! She must fight hard!

But just when her hand was about to touch his cup, he grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes.

Finally, with a determined look in his eyes, he picked up the teacup and drank it all.

She froze there, two lines of tears rolling down her cheeks.

She didn't understand, why? He knew there was something wrong with the tea... why?

In a panic, she moved her lips and murmured, "Your Highness...Aren't you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"

"I have what you want here. You have what I want. Why are you afraid?"

"Why...why..."

"Oh!"

Before she could even ask, Jiang Zhuo had already ordered someone to kick open the door.

More than a dozen guards surrounded him with swords.

A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he regained his composure, "It looks like a trap."

"But if you think I came here alone, you are underestimating me."

"Right, Jiang Zhuo." He looked outside, but there was no sign of Jiang Zhuo.

"It seems that he is still that coward!" As he spoke, his men rushed up.

The two groups of people fought each other. Although the numbers were equal, Jiang Zhuo's people were naturally no match for Xiao Yanqing's people.

But he had no intention of fighting here, and when he left, he looked back at her.

After confirming that she was safe, he said, "As expected of Jiang Zhuo's daughter, you are not only cowardly, but also despicable."

After saying this, he turned and left, leaving her hiding in panic.
