After Lu Changyuan broke in, he didn't know what he was going to do.

Xie Jinzhao came in wearing a bright red long dress with tight sleeves, her hair still tied in a ponytail. Her delicate face was not made up, but the corners of her eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying, which made Lu Changyuan's heart tighten.

"Jin Zhao, why are you crying? Who offended you?"

Lu Changyuan rushed to Xie Jinzhao and raised his hand to rub her eyes. Xie Jinzhao was shocked, but luckily she dodged quickly. She sat down in the main seat and asked, "Duke, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

She rested her elbows on the armrests of the chair and picked up the teacup. She was less dignified and gentle than before, and more domineering and cold.

Seventeen years later, this was the Xie Jinzhao that Lu Changyuan had never seen before. The face was still the same, but the person was no longer the same.

She has been pretending so well all these years.

"Jinzhao, my mother forced me to sign the divorce agreement that day. I didn't want to divorce you, and there was an imperial edict. How could you ask for an imperial edict just to divorce me?" Lu Changyuan's eyes suddenly turned red.

His reaction time is a bit slow, and he didn't realize what he missed until now?

In just two days, Lu Changyuan looked much more haggard. He saw with his own eyes Xie Jinzhao slaughtering people in the Dou family. His sharp spear skills were rarely seen in his life, and he was far from being his opponent.

If a husband and wife join forces, they can almost conquer the world. Why should they be afraid of not being able to achieve great things?

"Lu Changyuan, our fate as husband and wife has ended. Considering that you are a royal relative, I will not hold it against you for breaking into my house this time. But if there is a next time, I will not show mercy." Xie Jinzhao raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing a hint of impatience.

Lu Changyuan couldn't believe it. He felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. There was a huge empty space in his chest. The wind was blowing and it hurt. "Jin Zhao, I want you to come back."

"Lu Changyuan, don't you want to control the battlefield in Southern Shu? But right now, the horses at Xiaomatan Horse Farm are no longer useful. Guo Jiabai and the Duke's Mansion have formed an alliance. Guo Xiao was originally a powerful general under your command, but now he has become an abandoned pawn. Instead of trying to clean up this mess, you still have the mind to think about love?"

Xie Jinzhao sneered, and played with the teacup in his hand with his slender jade-like fingers. He put it on the table, stood up and clapped his hands, "Yunqing, show the guests out!"

After saying that, she turned and walked inside. Lu Changyuan became anxious and rushed forward to grab her wrist, but Xie Jinzhao reacted and avoided his wrist.

Yun Qing had already stopped between the two of them, "Duke, please go back!"

"I won't leave!" Lu Changyuan looked at her back stubbornly, "I won't leave, Jin Zhao, I still have something to say to you!"

"Lu Changyuan, Guo Xiao is brave and good at fighting. He is a very good general. It would be a pity if we don't use him." Xie Jinzhao said casually.

Lu Changyuan knew that she was trying to trick him, and at that moment he realized how big the difference was between being his wife and not being his wife.

"Jin Zhao, are you planning to stand on the side of King Zhuang? Come back to me. King Zhuang can't win, even if he has Cao Zhen. He is a concubine's son, so he can't win. Come back to me now, and I can still protect you."

"no need!"

When we returned to the back garden, Ling Jinglan was still waiting there, looking at the lake, not knowing what he was thinking.

The lights on the roadside shone on his profile, as if it was cut by a knife or an axe, with smooth and sharp lines and beautiful curves like a painting.

"He said that even if Prince Zhuang has Cao Zhen in his hands, it is useless because Prince Zhuang is a concubine's son and there is no way he can win. He asked me to follow him." Xie Jinzhao spoke from behind him.

Ling Jinglan was startled by her and came to his senses, "When did you come? Are you planning a sneak attack?"

Xie Jinzhao rolled his eyes at him. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it? They should be planning to attack Cao Zhen. Where do you think they are planning to attack?"

"Weishui!" Ling Jinglan turned around, a cold light flashed across his eyes, "He asked you to go back and follow him?"

Xie Jinzhao said, "It seems that he also has a master. Lu Changyuan himself doesn't have the brains to do this. It should be Dou Mengshen. He has always been shrewd and calculating. They plan to take action against King Zhuang. However, King Zhuang has always been indifferent and unwilling to stir up civil strife in the court. What's going on this time?"

"Do you think King Zhuang shouldn't fight?" Ling Jinglan lowered his eyes and looked at her. No one saw the tenderness in his eyes at this moment.

Xie Jinzhao stood facing the water with his hands behind his back, "Prince Zhuang is also a prince. If we talk about personal interests, he is also qualified to sit in that position. Why can't he fight for it?"

"What about public?" Ling Jinglan looked relaxed. A leaf fell on her head. He stretched out his hand. Xie Jinzhao leaned back reflexively. Seeing that he was pinching a leaf with his fingertips, he felt embarrassed and touched his head.

"If we talk about public, he should fight for it. The prince is cowardly and in poor health. If it weren't for the emperor's favor, he might not have been the prince. He will have a chance to compete with the King of Han in the future.

The King of Han saved the Emperor's life, but he is arrogant, cunning and stubborn, and is definitely not a wise ruler. The Crown Prince Ling Daoyin looks like a nerd, and it is said that he likes to listen to soft words, so he may not be suitable for the position of the emperor in the future."

"So, you are optimistic about Prince Zhuang?" Ling Jinglan's tone was unconsciously filled with a hint of jealousy.

Xie Jinzhao heard it, she couldn't help but smile, looking at Ling Jinglan with a playful look, "I am optimistic about you, but it's a pity that you are not the descendant of a royal family, what should I do?"

Ling Jinglan pinched her nose, knowing that she was teasing him, "If we want revenge, King Zhuang is indeed the best choice. At least he won't die before achieving his goal."

"Well, then it's a deal. Help King Zhuang." Xie Jinzhao made the final decision.

Ling Jinglan laughed, "If you said to help King Zhuang, then we will help King Zhuang. Does King Zhuang want us to help?"

Xie Jinzhao smiled proudly, "You have to rely on me for this! You know, before I left Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Prince Zhuang was waiting for me. In order to make me help him wholeheartedly, he even asked me to leave the Rouge Sword with him."

Ling Jinglan couldn't help laughing. The laughter came out from her chest. It was deep, rich, cheerful, and sexy, making Xie Jinzhao blush. She was so embarrassed and angry that she punched him, "You don't believe it?"

"I believe it!" Ling Jinglan held her fist, "Didn't he steal your Rouge Sword?"

"Heh!" Xie Jinzhao struggled to get his hands free, but failed. "He said it himself that he returned the Rouge Sword to me only after I left Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Wasn't he afraid that I would stay in Duke Dingguo's Mansion to help Lu Changyuan?"

"Then will you help?" Ling Jinglan let go of her hand, put his hands behind his back, and gently twisted his fingertips. The soft, cool feeling still lingered on his fingertips, reaching straight into his heart and making his silent heart beat wildly.

"No!" Xie Jinzhao thought back to her past life. At this moment, she seemed to have just broken free from her past life. "I will go to Prince Zhuang's mansion tomorrow to get my Rouge Sword back and talk to Prince Zhuang. Cao Zhen must not die. The Wei River is in Qinzhou, and to the north is the territory of Longxi County. If you want to touch Cao Zhen, the Lan family will never let it go. Dou Mengshen has no bottom line, so we can't take Prince Zhuang lightly."

"Jin Zhao, do you want to go to the battlefield?" Ling Jinglan's heart was lifted as she looked high-spirited. He really wanted to see how stunning such a woman would be once she walked out of the backyard, as dazzling as the scorching sun in the sky.
