Her eyes widened and she was stunned, looking at the woman in front of her in disbelief.
"Why?"
Zheng Xiyao chuckled and asked, "Don't you want to save someone? How can you save him if you don't enter the palace?"
"What does entering the palace have to do with saving him?"
"You don't really think that I can save Yuwen Jimu by begging His Majesty, do you?" Zheng Xiyao stood up and picked up the wine glass on the table: "If you want him to die faster, I don't want him to die faster." Do you mind telling me something?" He drank the wine in one gulp, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and turned to look at the woman kneeling on the ground:
"If you enter the palace to show your goodwill, there may be some hope." She tilted her head and thought: "After all, you chose to give up the hero in the first place. If you don't have the 'life-saving grace', you may have to exchange it for something else."
She twitched her lips tenderly and asked unwillingly, "Isn't Your Majesty your man or your lover? Are you just going to give him up to other women?"
"Mine?" Zheng Xiyao seemed to have heard a big joke: "He is the man of all the women in this harem, and he is also their beloved." She helped Wenqing: "What does it matter if there is one more of you."
Seeing that Zheng Xiyao was completely unmoved, Wenqing pushed the woman's hand away with a pale face. After thinking for a moment, she was ready to put her hand away.
Zheng Xiyao looked at her thin and stubborn back, and her expression returned to coldness: "Since no matter what you do, you can't change the outcome, why not just let nature take its course, gentle lady."
Her warm back froze, and she responded in a low voice: "Don't you know what the empress is talking about?"
Zheng Xiyao smiled and made an invitation gesture.
"Want to have a drink together?"
"you…"
Finally, take three warm steps and do two steps at a time, pick up the wine glass, and drink three glasses in a row. Then he placed the wine glass heavily on the table.
"When did you find out?"
"I called you 'heroine' twice just now, but you didn't refute. You avoided meeting Liu Siyan and didn't save him as a plot line. And you know the relationship between me, the emperor and Yuwen Jimu." Followed. Zheng Xiyao murmured to herself, her warm body began to tremble.
"Oh, and that time, I pushed you into the water on purpose, but you grabbed me and fell into the water together. The emperor saved me. You once again avoided the entanglement with the male protagonist." She crossed her arms and said with a smile: "Do you think this is a coincidence, my heroine?"
"..."
"As expected of you, Ilia Xiyao." He looked directly at Zheng Xiyao, who was radiating coldness, with warmth and calmness.
"who are you?"
"We are willing to protect the interests of mankind with our own flesh and blood, and we will have no regrets even if we die." Wenqing straightened his back and gave a neat military salute.
Zheng Xiyao replied with the same military salute.
"Which district are you from?"
"District Eight."
"Outside the city. Then they..."
"When I left, all four districts outside the city had been invaded."
"So you don't want to go back, right?" Zheng Xiyao understood.
"Yes." Wenqing affirmatively replied: "I have no worries there. Although it is backward here, there is always no problem in living. Besides," the woman showed a trace of tenderness.
"I have someone I like here."
It turns out that when Wenqing first entered this world, the first thing she saw was not the male protagonist, but Yuwen Jimu. At that time, Wenqing was full of fear and discomfort with the entire unfamiliar world.
It was Yuwen Muji who taught her little by little and helped her adapt to life here time and time again.
Zheng Xiyao felt a little envious when she saw Wen Qing looking like she was falling in love. Although they are both from the outside world, they have different views on the world.
Wenqing likes this place and regards it as home.
However, her home is not here.
"Then why didn't you save the hero in the first place?" Zheng Xiyao asked curiously. After all, the hero who saved the world had a talisman.
"To be honest, it's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because he's too dirty."
Zheng Xiyao: "..."
