Chapter 297: No Use
Chapter 297: No Use
"Do you still want to help the North fight against the West?"
If the other party had this idea, he would not let her live.
But no matter what she thinks, it will be useless if she can't return to the north.
She hesitated for a moment, as if pondering her purpose. After much reflection, she realized that she was in a foreign country and her life and death depended on his will, so she didn't think it would cause much trouble.
"No, I just had nothing to do, so I just wandered around. Besides, I'm in the west now and can't go back."
Mu Ruixi said, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She had many enemies in the north. When she came back, she must avenge them.
"Oh, that's good to know." Zhou Zhewen said, throwing up his sleeves. "Keep a good eye on her. If she doesn't leave this room, we'll give her whatever she wants."
He left after saying that, without bothering her any more.
"This woman is lucky. A blessing in disguise. Even the emperor has to keep a close watch on her."
"Well, it seems that being pretty can seduce men. It would be great if I were that pretty too."
"I advise you to wait a little longer."
Faintly, she overheard the conversation between the two, who seemed to be envious of her beauty. But what's the point of being beautiful? She rubbed her face and smiled somewhat sarcastically. She was just a pitiful woman now. She was pregnant and thrown into enemy territory. This was probably the most miserable woman in the world! However, Lin Muwen still agreed.
From now on, she no longer had to be a gentleman. She had to avenge this great hatred. Therefore, she had to protect herself and not let herself die like this.
A few days later, a maid brought her dinner, and she asked casually, "What has your Majesty been doing lately?"
How can you gain the emperor's trust if you don't even know his whereabouts?
For a woman to capture a man's heart, beauty alone is not enough; she also needs wisdom. Take Daji for example. Although she was beautiful and could seduce men, she was able to capture the heart of King Zhou, give him advice, and solve his problems. This is where her value lies.
Therefore, she must seize every opportunity and not let Zhou Zhewen down.
"During this period, Your Majesty has been dealing with the government affairs. It is said that in the middle of the night, he will rest in his study!"
The maid was honest and told everything.
The emperor asked her to keep an eye on Mu Ruixi and prevent her from committing suicide, but he did not ask her to hide this from Mu Ruixi.
Mu Ruixi knew that something important must have happened, otherwise the emperor would not have gone to such lengths to sleep in his own room. Ji Yunshu asked again, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you these days?"
"Sorry, I am just a servant. I don't understand what Your Majesty is worried about. I hope Your Highness will have a meal on time. If there is any need, just give me instructions."
Even the maids understood the saying that "Misfortune comes from the mouth". In this palace full of dangers, if they couldn't keep their mouths shut, they would be killed sooner or later.
Mu Ruixi also knew this. She had always been trembling with fear. How could she possibly blame a maid? So she let her go.
"What am I worried about?"
Mu Ruixi was just about to pick up some food with chopsticks when she heard a crisp sound coming from outside the door. She looked outside and found Zhou Zhewen tiptoeing to the door, as if he had heard their conversation just now.
Mu Ruixi calmly put her chopsticks on the table and greeted him.
"My humble daughter, Mu Ruixi, pays respect to His Majesty."
Zhou Zhewen looked at Mu Ruixi in confusion. He couldn't believe why she was so respectful to him.
"It rises from the west today, how can you bow to me?"
After all, he had threatened to teach her a lesson before, but now she bowed to him. Could it be that she had some conspiracy?
Mu Ruixi did not dodge and let Zhou Zhewen watch her. Her only way out now was to rely on Zhou Zhewen. Apart from that, she had no other choice.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? I am a prisoner now, so of course I must be respectful to Your Majesty. Otherwise, how can I survive?"
Mu Ruixi was telling the truth.
In her opinion, only with a strong backer can she better protect herself, and Zhou Zhewen is her best backer.
"Mu Ruixi, I'm telling you, you'd better stop thinking about it!"
Zhou Zhewen looked disbelief. It was not surprising that Mu Ruixi had paid so much to deal with other countries. Since he had already captured her, of course he would not just let it go.
However, no matter how Zhou Zhewen questioned her, Mu Ruixi decided to take the initiative and not be ignored.
"If Your Majesty doesn't trust me, I'd like to see my reaction. I wonder what your Majesty is worried about. If you tell me, I might be able to help you."
Mu Ruixi volunteered to put forward her request. Now that she had entered the palace, she had to prove her ability to Zhou Zhewen, otherwise she would probably lose her position. Besides, with the lesson learned that night, she felt that Zhou Zhewen should treat her better.
Zhou Zhewen's Eye of Exploration
Zhou Zhewen said, "Okay, I'm worried about something right now. If you can help me, I can trust you temporarily."
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Mu Ruixi took the opportunity to speak.
Don't miss any opportunity to show your strength. The worst-case scenario is that you'll be ignored, just like at the beginning. It's better to give it a try, maybe there's still a chance to turn things around.
Zhou Zhewen also knew that Mu Ruixi was very smart and had given Lin Mu many ideas before, so he felt that he was still willing to trust Mu Ruixi. He pondered for a moment and expressed his concerns: "The world is in chaos now, and the people are suffering. In addition, the war has just ended, and the people have little food. I am very worried and don't know how to calm the people's hearts."
This is a question that must be considered by an emperor of a generation. If those refugees cannot be stabilized, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Mu Ruixi thought that this was probably the reason why he lived in the study during this period.
She lowered her head, lost in thought. This situation wasn't uncommon in history, and every country had its own way of dealing with it. Han Sen's mind stirred, and he suddenly remembered a scene he had read in a book before, thinking it might be possible to solve the problem.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zhewen saw that her eyes were bright, and knew that she had a solution again, so he quickly asked.
No matter who it is, if they can help him complete the task, they will receive corresponding rewards.
