At that time, their general's office was a neutral faction and did not participate in the battles of any party, so they won the late emperor's trust.
The main reason why my father chose King Wei was because of her.
Because at that time she told her father that she fell in love with Chu Heng and wanted to marry him.
Probably, her father wanted to fulfill her obsession.
When Zhou Jingyi saw that Chu Heng was silent, she sneered and said, "What, do you have nothing to say? Do you think I don't know the conditions that my father made to you?"
My father promised to help His Majesty seize the throne, on the condition that you marry me.
You refused at the time. You said you already had someone you liked in your heart. If you agreed to this condition, you would be irresponsible to me.
I was outside when you were talking, but what you didn't know was that after you left, I went to find your father and persuade him to agree to help Your Majesty.
It's not because of you, but because I feel that Your Majesty has endured humiliation and heavy burdens for many years and is worthy of your great responsibility.
I advise my father not to use this as a condition to threaten you again, because I, Zhou Jingyi, disdain to regard marriage as a bargaining chip.
To be honest, if you had agreed to this marriage at that time, I would have looked down upon you, because the Chu Heng I know has always been an upright and honest gentleman."
Zhou Jingyi took a deep breath and said: "If I want to force you to marry me, there are many ways, but I don't want you to marry me in this way.
I want to rely on my own ability to get into your heart. When you came back from Beichen, you were devastated. You said that Xiao Jialan had a sweetheart.
I thought my chance had come, but I didn't expect you to be a coward."
Zhou Jingyi never expected that when Chu Heng woke up and saw them hugging each other, the first thing he said was that it was a misunderstanding and he couldn't remember anything.
She never thought of using this as a threat to let him marry her. She just felt chilled that he never said a single word about being responsible for her, even if it was against his will.
With her pride, even if he said it, she would not agree.
But his first reaction was to escape, wanting to pluck himself clean, so he avoided her.
She was angry and unwilling to give in. Then when she bumped into Xiao Jialan, she could no longer hold back all her resentment.
Now, after saying all the words that were suppressed in her heart, she felt much more relaxed.
After hearing the grievances between the two of them, Xiao Jialan became very angry. She slammed the table and said angrily: "Chu Heng, I didn't expect you to be such a person.
You bullied Miss Zhou but still don't want to take responsibility for her, it's simply too much."
Su Xinyue and Xin Ruyi couldn't stand it anymore, and they all echoed.
Especially Su Xinyue, who was filled with righteous indignation and said: "I thought you were a gentleman. Bah."
Chu Heng couldn't argue, and his face didn't look very good.
Xiao Jialan said again: "Let me ask you, did my brother let you get close to Miss Zhou deliberately to gain support from the General's Mansion?"
Chu Heng said hurriedly: "No, I admit that it was His Majesty's intention to move next door to the General's Mansion. Your Majesty just wanted me to interact more with General Zhou in private.
As for what Miss Zhou said about approaching someone intentionally, there is no such thing. I dare to swear to God that this is really just a misunderstanding."
Xiao Jialan breathed a sigh of relief, she knew her brother would not do this.
She asked again: "Then how do you explain the fact that you took advantage of Miss Zhou while drunk?
If you do something wrong but don't dare to bear the consequences, what kind of man are you?"
Chu Heng said: "It's my fault. I didn't mean to escape. I just haven't figured out how to solve this matter."
Xiao Jialan snorted and said: "Since you haven't thought about it, then go to the prison and think about it. As the loyal and brave prince of the Marquis Mansion, he has bad morals and is unworthy of the king and the people. He deserves to be punished. Come and pull him down and give him a fifty beating first."
