Tuoba Fei leaned back in his chair and looked down at the kneeling Zhong Ao Shuang. This person was talented, but he couldn't treat him as a trusted aide. All he could do was leave some insignificant things to him.
Zhong Ao Shuang and Da Kang secretly communicated with the news, they did not do it in secret, no matter how secretive it was, how could Prince Xian of the Left not know about it? And of course, none of those news were spread to a great deal.
Zhong Ao Shuang didn't hide anything from him regarding this matter. Every time the news was passed on, he would intentionally let him know what kind of information was being transmitted.
"You have forgotten your status and the master you should be loyal to."
Tuoba Fei's tone was indifferent, but Zhong Ao Shuang suddenly expressed his loyalty to him. This was too surprising to him. He still looked calm on the surface, but he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
If Zhong Ao Shuang was a loyal subject, he shouldn't have betrayed Da Kang to serve him. However, if he was a disloyal and unrighteous person, what was the use of him coming here?
"This subject does not dare to forget that I have done my best to fulfill the orders of the emperor."
Zhong Ao Shuang let out a long sigh, gently stroking her chest, the wounds there still hurt faintly on rainy days.
"Your highness, this subject, as an official of a great family, received the favor of the emperor. I shouldn't have been so disloyal …"
ZhongAo Shuang's handsome face twisted slightly as he clenched his hands in pain. He did not want to betray Da Kang, but now, he knew too much and had no other choice.
He understood that no matter what he did in Great Moon Sect, he would not be able to escape from Tuoba Fei's eyes. And the things that he knew had already touched Tuoba Fei's bottom line.
Most importantly, he now knew about the relationship between Yue Chanjuan and Tuoba Fei. Although Tuoba Fei did not warn him, nor did he imprison him, he knew about this matter. Over the past few days, how could he not understand what Yue Chanjuan wanted to do?
Moreover, he also knew about the things that He Huohui and the others had done, as well as the things that Yue Chanjuan had done.
Whether it was due to allegiance to the emperor that he had betrayed Yue Chanjuan, or because of Yue Chanjuan's betrayal to the Great Cong Emperor, he had been at loggerheads for a very long time, until one night when he overheard the private affairs between Yue Chanjuan and Tuoba Fei within the army camp of the red-made army and was discovered by the subordinates of Tuoba Fei and escaped.
He had already discovered that there was a relationship between Tuoba Fei and Yue Chanjuan. However, he never expected that Princess Wuyou would have such an intimate relationship with Tuoba Fei. It was the power of Prince Xian of the Left.
His left shoulder was hurting faintly. That was the result of him spying on them by chance last night. He did not believe that Tuoba Fei would not know who it was that had eavesdropped. Although he escaped, how could he hide these things from the clairvoyant Prince Xian of the Left?
"Did you come here today for last night's matter?"
Zhong Ao Shuang smiled bitterly. Sure enough, he couldn't hide it from Prince Xian of the Left. It was just that he had come here to express his allegiance to Tuoba Fei, not just to save his own life.
"I can't hide anything from you or your highness. There are too many things I know."
"Chan Juan has always been this king's woman. You do not know too much, but rather that it is too late."
"It's not too late. This official knows it already."
Tuoba Fei slightly raised his eyebrow. He never thought that Zhong Ao Shuang would know about this so early.
"In the camp outside Canine Righteousness, I saw the prince enter the princess' tent late at night and leave at daybreak, and I knew of the matter at that time. This subject also knows about the matters of Mount Kunlun and the secret way. This subject also knows that the child in the princess' womb should be your flesh and blood, your highness! "
Zhong Ao Shuang knelt up straight and lowered her eyes slightly. Coming here today, there were only two results. 'Die', or become Tuoba Fei's' trusted aide '.
There were some things that he didn't need to say, things that he wouldn't say, and no one knew that he would know.
However, in order to express his sincerity, he could only reveal everything. That was because he already knew about the relationship between Tuoba Fei and the Da Jin family. It would be difficult for him to escape death. Perhaps, only by obtaining Tuoba Fei's recognition, allowing him to swear his loyalty to becoming a trusted aide, would he be able to continue living.
He wasn't afraid of death, he just wanted to stand by her side silently, even if he had already guessed what she was about to do. He wasn't willing to not betray her, in exchange for the emperor's reward and good grace.
Tuoba Fei gently raised a cup of tea and slowly took a sip. He had still underestimated this Han Lin Institution's Grand Scholar. So he knew so much.
"What else do you know?"
"This subject knows everything. This subject knows that in the northern border and the Jingze Region, the Da Yue branch is fishing in troubled waters with the intention of gaining benefits. This subject also guesses that the Da Wei family intends to take revenge on the Emperor."
"If you didn't say it, This King wouldn't have known that you already knew so much."
"This subject does not dare to hide anything from you. Although this subject did not pass on this information to Great Kang, Great Kang will find out sooner or later. Today, this subject is here for Your Highness to decide."
Zhong Ao Shuang raised his head and looked straight at Tuoba Fei. The two of them looked at each other, and Zhong Ao Shuang slowly lowered his head, bowing it respectfully.
"As expected, you already know too much. How did you know so many things?"
"The people of the Central Plains will accompany you on your marriage with the Great Moon Branch. In the past, this subject also had a few good friends in the Western Regions. The emperor has sent a secret decree for everyone to listen to this official's orders. Whatever they know, they will also report to this official in secret. "
"If that's the case, then why have you come here today to swear your loyalty to me, when you have the Imperial Decree on you?"
"If Your Highness suspects this official's intentions, I ask that Your Highness grant this official a death, and this official shall follow the princess to this place. I hope that the princess will have a good life, and this official's wish is enough. Your subject does not seek the favor of your father, but wishes that the princess will be well and that the prince will treat your highness well. "
"For her?"
Tuoba Fei's lips formed a cold arc. How much of Zhong Ao Shuang's words should he believe?
He had only strictly ordered his subordinates to monitor his every move. If he dared to make a move, he could guarantee that Zhong Ao Shuang would die miserably, and he would definitely not have the chance to tell anyone about this matter.
What he did not expect was that ZhongAo Shuang had long since found out about his relationship with Yue Chanjuan.
The room suddenly became silent. The heavy and depressing atmosphere made Zhong Ao Shuang unable to breathe. Facing Prince Xian of the Left, he did not dare to look up.
"You want to betray Grand Kang? You want to betray Emperor Sheng?"
"This subject doesn't dare, this subject only wants to clean up the traitors around the emperor, the Yang family should no longer exist. This subject is loyal to the King, but will not betray the Emperor. As long as the Great Yue State is friendly with the Great Kang Alliance, this is not a contradiction. "
"You are loyal to this king and won't betray the emperor. In your heart, which is more important?"
Tuoba Fei smiled and looked at Zhong Ao Shuang with interest. "How are you going to answer this question?"
