Chi Rong nodded firmly: "Since the young master left Rongguo, became a defector, and agreed to return to the Taixuan clan, the young master knew that the Taixuan clan was determined to capture you, so he followed you all the way."

Jiang Zuiyao was even more surprised: "Follow me?"

Chi Rong has followed Shao Ziqing for so long. If he knows, no one knows Shao Ziqing better than him. He sighed and said: "Yes, it stands to reason that the young master knew that the Imperial City Division was chasing him.

I chose another shortcut to come to this country, but didn’t Madam notice it? You can always find the young master, and it was only because of you that the young master had to expose his identity."

At this point, Jiang Zuiyao was completely speechless.

Thinking back on the past, Shao Ziqing was seriously injured and had yet to recover, which inevitably delayed her trip. She suddenly remembered that she found clues about Shao Ziqing in the bathhouse that day. Shao Ziqing flew over her head and looked at her in a flash.

Eyes, so cold.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zuiyao suddenly looked at Zhang Zinuo and thought of something.

Zhang Zinuo also guessed what Jiang Zuiyao was thinking, and nodded: "When I was captured by Shao Ziqing, Shao Ziqing used me to threaten Zi Lin, just to lure you and Qin Nanxian out, and the target is you."

The fingertips under Guangxiu couldn't help but tremble slightly. Jiang Zuiyao had never thought about it, and it was impossible to think about it. Shao Ziqing had made such a big deal from beginning to end, just to lure her to her side, and

The purpose was actually to protect her from being captured by the Taixuan clan.

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up and walked to Shao Ziqing, asking in disbelief: "Are what they said true?"

Shao Ziqing lowered his head even more. He had refused to open his heart for many years and now he no longer knew how to express his feelings.

Jiang Zuiyao suddenly became anxious: "You are talking! Are you mute?"

Seeing that Jiang Zuiyao still didn't believe what he said, Chi Rong replied eagerly: "Madam, why don't you believe it? If the young master doesn't care about you, why did he risk his own safety to block the sword for you in the first place? Subordinate

In the years that I have been with the young master, since the death of Miss Zou, the young master has never cared so much about a woman. Also, the reason why the young master committed treason in the first place was because..."

"Chi Rong! Stop talking!" Shao Ziqing immediately interrupted Chi Rong.

Why Shao Ziqing rebelled against the country in the first place has always been a mystery. Jiang Zuiyao immediately looked at Chi Rong and said, "Why did Shao Ziqing rebel against the country?"

Chi Rong, who wanted to speak clearly, was interrupted by Shao Ziqing. At this moment, he no longer dared to speak anymore and looked at Jiang Zuiyao in embarrassment.

Jiang Zuiyao felt like a child who was kept in the dark, and said anxiously: "Tell me! Chirong, tell me, why did Shao Ziqing treason?"

Chi Rong pursed her lips in embarrassment and said helplessly: "Madam will know in the future."

Jiang Zuiyao knew that Chi Rong didn't tell because Shao Ziqing wouldn't let him, so he quickly turned to Shao Ziqing and said, "Let Chi Rong tell me!"

Shao Ziqing shouted irritably: "Don't ask if you shouldn't know!"

Jiang Zuiyao was also annoyed: "Have I ever asked you a question from the beginning to the end? But what did Chirong mean by what he said just now? Could it be that you also rebelled against me because of me? This is impossible!"

Zhang Zinuo, who had not spoken a word, realized that sitting down would be unnecessary in the current atmosphere, so he secretly glanced at Chi Rong, and the two of them left.

In the main hall, only Jiang Zuiyao and Shao Ziqing were left.

Shao Ziqing, who had been refusing to speak, made Jiang Zuiyao feel anxious. She couldn't help but hold his arm tightly and asked, "Answer me!"

Shao Ziqing threw away Jiang Zuiyao's hand in disgust and said coldly: "There's nothing to say!"

Looking at Shao Ziqing who refused to let go no matter what, Jiang Zuiyao frowned and asked, "What else are you hiding from me?"

Unexpectedly, Shao Ziqing actually replied generously: "Many, as I said before, don't ask if you don't know what you should know. Don't ask me to answer what you should know. One day, you will naturally understand."

Jiang Zuiyao was completely helpless now. This mixed feeling made her feel angry and sad. She couldn't help but spit out: "Why do you always make things so complicated? It's something that can be explained clearly in a few words, but you can't do anything.

If you don’t tell me, how will I know?”

Shao Ziqing's face darkened and he said, "I can't make any promises to you."

Such words made Jiang Zuiyao think that she heard wrongly: "What? What did you say?"

Shao Ziqing was also in a state of confusion at the moment and shook his head irritably. This time, he finally raised his head and met Jiang Zuiyao's eyes, but it was with a pleading tone: "Don't ask anymore, okay?"

This was the first time Jiang Zuiyao saw Shao Ziqing treat her with such an expression. She understood Shao Ziqing's temperament to a certain extent, so she was not anxious anymore. She sat down by the couch and her voice became softer: "You should let me

I know, you speak slowly and I listen patiently. If you don’t want to speak, I won’t force you.”

"Huh...", a heavy breathing sounded from Shao Ziqing's breath. He also put down the last of his stubbornness, looked at the patterns on the brocade quilt, calmed down, and said: "Like me, I live under the sword every day.

Who do you dare to make a promise to, a person at the top? If you make a promise, I'm afraid you won't be able to fulfill your promise."

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Shao Ziqing's sad look, and her heart became tangled.

Afterwards, Shao Ziqing looked up at Jiang Zuiyao and said, "I have made many promises to Qing'er, but in the end, I couldn't fulfill them at all. The same goes for you."

Jiang Zuiyao shook his head: "I'm not Zou Yanqing, I'm Jiang Zuiyao, of course it's different."

Shao Ziqing smiled coldly: "What's the difference?"

"At least I'm still alive and you can tell me what you did."

"Tell you what? Tell you that I will protect you? Haha, if I can protect you for the rest of my life, I will naturally say that, but a person like me may die one day, so what is the promise I said?

Didn’t you break your promise?”

Hearing Shao Ziqing's words, Jiang Zuiyao was completely unable to answer. She didn't know that he had such thoughts towards her.

Then, Shao Ziqing said calmly: "I won't promise easily what I can't do. It's better to do it myself while I'm still alive."

Jiang Zuiyao frowned worriedly and said, "If Zhang Zinuo and Chi Rong hadn't spoken out today, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know you had done this until you died. Since you did it, you should tell me."

Shao Ziqing said without any expectation, "So what if I tell you? You still hate me."

The last six words finally made Jiang Zuiyao's heart begin to ache.

She had to admit that in the past, she did hate Shao Ziqing, and even wished that this person would die quickly so that she could be happy.
