Zhao Ying said nothing, just frowned lightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Qiuning stood up slowly and stretched.

The skirt of the green shirt shows off the girl's beautiful figure.

Pure face, exquisite appearance, pure girl!

She smiled half-heartedly and said, "What? Now that we have reached this point, why are you still hesitating?"

Zhao Ying glanced at her and said coldly: "Why do you want to help me?"

Zhou Qiuning raised her eyebrows: "Didn't I already say that?"

Zhao Ying was expressionless: "I don't believe it!"

"Then there's nothing I can do!"

Zhou Qiuning spread her hands, but soon, she shook her head gently: "But you can also think of it as...I have become his abandoned son, right?"

Zhao Ying said nothing.

There was a strange look in Zhou Qiuning's beautiful eyes.

"I helped him a lot. He was able to successfully kill his father and ascend the throne. In fact, I am also responsible..."

Zhou Qiuning had a mocking look on her face and said with a self-deprecating smile: "And after he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to get rid of me... Do you think I shouldn't be angry?"

Zhao Ying said nothing, her eyes were cold.

He knew a long time ago that Zhou Qiuning was Zhao Jing's man.

The two have met many years ago!

Zhou Qiuning suddenly said: "Do you know why he wanted to get rid of me?"

Before Zhao Ying could speak, Zhou Qiuning had already given the answer.

"Because I know too much!"

"I know everything he has done, all his details, and almost all his secrets, but he can't control me and can do nothing to me!"

Zhou Qiuning sneered and said: "When he was still the prince, I was still valuable to him. But after he achieved his goal and got the throne he dreamed of, my existence became a threat to him and I could kill him at any time!

"

"I'm not under his control, so naturally he can't tolerate me..."

Zhou Qiuning suddenly turned her head and smiled at Zhao Ying: "Do you think this is what every emperor will do after he ascends the throne?"

Zhao Ying was silent and didn't speak.

"You said, if that day comes, if you take power and become the Queen of Jokhang..."

As if thinking of something, Zhou Qiuning squinted her eyes and said meaningfully: "Will you kill me too?"

Zhao Ying's cold eyes stared at Zhou Qiuning's face for a long time, and then she said coldly: "Yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Ying turned and left.

Zhou Qiuning was left standing there, staring in the direction she left. After a while, she murmured: "So, have you made your decision?"

Then, Zhou Qiuning seemed to think of something, and a smile came to her eyes.

"In that case, let me help you add fuel to the fire!"

…

In central Beijing, in a mansion in the eastern suburbs.

A servant hurriedly walked into the backyard and came to a middle-aged man: "Master, young lady is here..."

The middle-aged man was lying comfortably on the rocking chair, accompanied by a young woman in bright clothes.

The middle-aged man put one arm around the young woman and glanced at her with squinted eyes: "Miss? I don't have a daughter!"

"Yes, it's Miss Zhou..."

The servant lowered his head, not daring to look directly. But from the corner of his eye, he could still catch a glimpse of such a beautiful woman, as well as the charming look in her every move.

"Miss Zhou?"

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly: "Niece Qiu Ning?!"

The servant lowered his head: "Exactly!"

The middle-aged man sat up immediately, his face serious.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, the young woman on the side quickly came over and asked in a coquettish voice: "What happened?"

"Why is she here?!"

The middle-aged man looked surprised and uncertain. He hesitated and thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Go, just say I'm not at home!"

not see!

The servant was stunned for a moment, not knowing the reason, but he still nodded and turned around to report.

But soon, footsteps suddenly came from outside the eaves.

Then, a voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile sounded.

"Who's not home?!"

Hearing this voice, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed and he turned to look outside.

A figure appeared in the eaves courtyard outside the door.

A young girl.

Wearing a light green gown, with jet black hair, the girl has no trace of pink on her face. She has a high nose, eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and slender lips.

She has a delicate and beautiful appearance, and yet there is a hint of elusive cunning in her purity.

At this time, she was walking into the backyard step by step.

His eyes first scanned the people present, and glanced over the servants, the young women and the middle-aged men, with profound meaning, and the dark pupils were shining brightly.

"Uncle, long time no see!"

The moment the middle-aged man saw her, his expression changed instantly. Soon, a hearty smile suddenly appeared: "It turns out she is Qiu Ning's niece. Why do you have time to see my uncle today?"

The girl smiled half-heartedly and said: "I came to see my uncle today, of course I have something important to ask for!"

Get straight to the point.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly again, then quickly recovered.

He glanced at the servants and young women beside him: "You go down first!"

The servant nodded, lowered his head and left quickly.

The young woman next to her felt a little strange. She glanced at the girl not far away, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. Then, jealousy came into her heart.

How could this girl be so beautiful?

A hint of displeasure arose in her heart, and she heard the man next to her call her niece. It turned out to be just her niece, so why was she so nervous?

"Master, who is this girl?"

The young woman deliberately pretended not to understand and asked.

The middle-aged man hadn't spoken yet, but Zhou Qiuning glanced at this woman who was full of aura of dust, and said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that it has been so long, uncle, your taste is as good as ever!"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened and he angrily scolded the woman next to him: "Get out!"

The young woman is confused!

Normally, the master favors her the most. What happened today?

She wanted to show weakness, but suddenly she saw the master's cold eyes, with a bit of cold murderous intent.

She trembled all over, remembering the identity of the master, she didn't dare to mess around anymore, lowered her head and left honestly.

After the young woman left, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly. He stared at the girl in front of him: "Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"

"Of course it's important!"

The girl walked into the hall, glanced at him again, and said meaningfully: "Uncle is now in the court, so he should be quite favored by Zhao Jing, right?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly again, and he stared at his niece in front of him with complicated thoughts.

The middle-aged man's name is Zhou De, who is Zhou Qin's elder brother and the uncle of Zhou Qiuning in front of him.

Different from Zhou Qiuning's father Zhou Qin, Zhou De entered the capital as an official many years ago and gradually established a foothold in the capital. To this day, he is a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is quite powerful in the court.

The Zhou family could stand firm in Chaoyang County and compete with the prefect, and Zhou De's help was indispensable behind this.

But no one knew clearly that the person standing behind Zhou De was the emperor of the dynasty!

Since the days when Zhao Jing was still the crown prince of the East Palace, Zhou De has been secretly siding with Zhao Jing's camp. Now that Zhao Jing has ascended the throne, Zhou De will rise to great heights.

Zhou De was able to connect with Zhao Jing, thanks to Zhou Qiuning's guidance. If it weren't for Zhou Qiuning's help, Zhou De would never have achieved what he has today.
