When Wang Su saw her suddenly frown, he naturally started to worry.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fine …"

The dull pain seemed to have lessened a little. For some things, as long as she did not want to, her head would strangely not hurt …

She thought about it, but there were still some things that she couldn't help but want to ask.

There were so many things that if he did not say them now, he was afraid that he would not have the chance to do so in the future … She had always been the Imperial Noble Lady Ya and she was Zhuang Li. From the moment she put on her veil and came to the capital, she had been destined to produce many deceits …

The crime of deceiving the monarch was not something that she could endure. However, there was something more important … She had been buried deep in her heart. Not a few words have come out of my mouth...

She, Zhao Ci...

Now, however, you do not want to continue lying to me. Prince Bi said that if you fall in love with him, it would not be easy. Naturally, she knew. If she were to stay in this world and guard such a distant and approaching person, he would still be keeping so many secrets of his … How could it not be hard?

"Does the emperor believe that I'm Du Yueyao's daughter?" she asked.

Wang Su did not speak for a while. His hand brushed across Zhuang Li's forehead, as though he wanted to make her relax her brows. That gentleness was something the two of them had never done before.

"I believe you …"

"Then does Your Majesty believe that I'm Zhao Ci?"

She did not wait for a reply and opened her mouth again.

"I am Zhao Ci …" It was as if he was announcing his death sentence. He revealed the secret he was hiding. It was a feeling she could barely breathe.

I am Zhao Ci. I remember where I came from and where I went. Hide yourself, hide yourself …

"I do."

Wang Su only said those words softly, yet the hand that touched her forehead did not stop.

Zhuang Li looked at him with some suspicion. The person in front of her was Wang Su. She felt that they were in love, but there were still more things that she did not know. And then …

"Before, I did not believe it, but now, I do. You are Zhao Ci, that reckless girl who deceived me …"

"Your Majesty …"

Wang Su seemed to have thought of what happened all those years ago, and the corners of his mouth actually hooked up. That memory was not bad … But this woman in front of him had actually hidden it from him for such a long time … She was Zhao Ci back then … He could not help but feel displeasure in his heart, but he also felt pain in his heart.

"Then the emperor should've punished me for cheating on the sovereign …" Zhuang Li said. It was not that Wang Su had never asked her about her past, but he had even mentioned the secret way West Cold.

He didn't know what this woman was thinking, but he liked her … When Hanqin exposed that she was actually Zhao Ci, she himself was shocked, and then she felt that the possibility of such a thing happening did not lie with him. He had always felt that she seemed to have known Zhuang Li for a long time, but she felt that her thoughts were just too bizarre …

How could that reckless and ugly girl from back then grow up to be like this? And low-key and cautious. Compared to the crazy girl in his heart, there seemed to be too big of a difference. After all, that crazy girl had to pay for her fall in the street. He didn't know if it was because he was too gutsy or because his brain was too simple. He wasn't afraid of people finding trouble with him.

In the end, he was worried when he saw her in the carriage of the West Cold bandits. Even though he was still young and in a good mood, he had the courage to take down West Cold all by himself. However, he was still a lot older and more sensible than her. He knew how difficult the road ahead was. Although she appeared extremely cold and indifferent on the surface, she was still worried, which was why he wanted her to go back to the Great Phoenix. When she returned to her hometown, there was still someone left to take care of her.

At that time, he felt that this damned girl wasn't even related to him …

When they heard Hanqin's accusation, many things suddenly matched up in their hearts. She came from the West Cold, knew about the secret passageway in the West Cold, knew about the Gobi Desert. And her attitude toward him was different from that of other women. She was afraid of him, but at the same time seemed to understand him. The feeling of sitting in the bumpy carriage with her was so familiar, so comforting, so familiar.

She was indeed Zhao Ci. However, she didn't feel anything was amiss and instead felt her heart ache.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" he asked.

Zhuang Li ignored them and struggled to sit up. The place she was staying should be the palace of the emperor in the imperial palace. It was spacious and luxurious. The dragon's collapse was enormous, enough to sleep ten people. But now that she was lying down in a small corner beside the bed, Wang Su sat on the edge.

This caused a trace of panic to suddenly flash through her heart … Where's the queen... What about Zhao Qin …

Why was he in the emperor's palace …

"There's no one else here except us and you." As if he had seen through Zhuang Li's thoughts, he consoled her.

Zhuang Li was also relieved, "If I had told the emperor earlier, would the emperor have believed me?" Before this, although she knew that others would recognize her face sooner or later, she had never thought of telling Wang Su personally. She didn't know what Wang Su's reaction would be, and she didn't have that kind of plan either.

"The emperor knows, or doesn't know, that I am all my own. "He would still walk such a path and do such a thing."

Seeing how that fellow had never planned to tell him anything, Wang Su was still a little angry in his heart.

"You don't believe me?" It was because he didn't believe her that he didn't say … If she wasn't found out by Hanqin, she would never say.

He stood up, unsure for a moment whether he should slam the door. Was it because this woman did not trust him?

However, the moment he turned around, he saw tears flowing down Zhuang Li's face. Although he always felt that it was useless for a woman to cry, at that moment, the inside of his heart became exceptionally soft.

"Does the emperor like me?" Did she really like Zhuang Li? Is it the Imperial Noble Lady Ya who likes to serve tea obediently or the crazy Zhao Ci? " Wang Su naturally didn't think that she would ask such a question, and he didn't even know how to reply her. There was no difference between the Imperial Noble Lady Ya and Zhao Ci in his heart now.

But I do like the emperor. All I can think of is that I can stay in the palace, and even though there are four walls around the palace, I can accompany the emperor and guard the palace lamps. To me, I am the Imperial Noble Lady Ya, and I am also Zhao Ci. To me, the Emperor is the Emperor, and I am also Wang Su. " She wiped his tears dry and continued speaking, as if if if he did not say it now, he would never have the chance.

"The crazed Zhao Ci is very happy everyday, but the Imperial Noble Lady Ya that follows obediently is not unhappy at all …"

It was because of the reason that she had been able to support her own life all this time that she had made it to this point.

She didn't speak anymore, and was suddenly enveloped by Wang Su's embrace. Warmly wrapped in his arms. He was already exceptionally familiar with the smell on his body. On the journey of West Cold, in the carriage heading to Qing Qiao County, and now. He had been by her side all this time, and this sudden hug made her burst into tears again, and she couldn't help but cry.

Wang Su patted Zhuang Li who was in her embrace like a bathing child.

"Of course I like you. It doesn't matter if you're a Imperial Noble Lady Ya or Zhao Ci …"

The person in his arms cried even more miserably.

Only after a long time had passed did Zhuang Li finally stop. Wang Su who was above her, spoke to her seriously.

"Then do you want to hear my secret?" Wang Su asked with a very soft voice.

Although Zhuang Li did not say anything, she nodded her head. Then, she felt that the person above her seemed to be smiling.

"You asked about my mother, Imperial Consort Mei. Although she is the consort, she has always lived within the Plum Court, and the struggles in the imperial harem are far from over …

She didn't teach me many things, and she even hoped that I wasn't smart enough to just peacefully stay with her in the Plum Garden.

She was originally one of the palace's concubines. When her concubine died, she moved to Plum Court to guard it, offering incense to her deceased mistress, while silently waiting for the right time to leave the palace.

But later on, she was unable to successfully leave the palace and was chosen by her royal father …

This is what gave birth to me …

She still wasn't willing to move into the palace, so she only asked royal father to let her bring me and live a safe life in Plum Court.

She told me that I was a gift from heaven and that she wanted to live here with me in peace. I always thought the world was that simple. Until I went into my father's study and was left to live in the palace.

I used to believe in anyone, just like my mother. She never had any extravagant hopes or complaints, but she was far from the authority of the Great Phoenix.

I wondered if she was right. Since he was living in the palace, he naturally had too many matters to attend to. The older he grew, the more puzzled he became. I then left her life and got used to the deceit of the palace. Gradually, he also became like them.

However, if these days go on for too long, there will be no more hearts.

I only knew about my mother. Since she was a child, she knew that I was too smart. Even if she wasn't born well, I would still have a place for myself. But she didn't want me to lose my heart.

Relieved of, trusting of, and trusting of those around him. There was no fear.

But I hope that the person who can live like that is you.

It's because I like you that I always want you to stay by my side... Whether it's going out or in the study … When did you ever make you think I didn't like you? "

Zhuang Li was speechless for a moment.

After they had confided in each other for so long, she suddenly felt that she had a lot of reasons to love Wang Su …

Then the embrace tightened again.

"Is there anything else you have hidden from me?"

Zhuang Li was shocked, and hurriedly spun a circle in her mind, and then, as if to confirm, shook her head.

"Then this is the last one …" "In the future, you're not allowed to do anything like that again …"
