"yes."

Zhang Lin nodded and said excitedly:

"Although I was close to Shangguan Wan'er, I was not as good as talking about anything. If the East Factory had not found the custody of the Yeting Bureau, I would have really no idea that she was actually the descendant of Shangguan Yi. She had assassinated the emperor many times. Not only did the emperor not kill her, but he also made her the leader of the maid officials in the harem. It was so magnanimous."

Now Qiu Shuang has already believed Zhang Lin's words five points. She was thinking to herself, didn't she tell him about her experience in the Yeting Bureau? Having been in the Yeting Bureau is not a glorious experience. If you can't say it, you will naturally try not to say it. It is understandable that Shangguan didn't say it to Zhang Lin.

So, is the Yeting Bureau’s warehousing file in Zhang Lin’s pocket really belonging to Shangguan Waner?

She wanted to reach out and take out the library from Zhang Lin's arms and open it so that there would be no doubts, but she didn't have the courage to do so. Because she was afraid that if she opened it, she would not be able to face Zhang Lin calmly in the future.

No matter what, Zhang Lin's position in her heart is still very important, and she is reluctant to tear and destroy this relationship.

But if she doesn't look at it or Zhang Lin doesn't say it, in this way, the relationship between them can be maintained. This only benefits, no harm for her.

It seems that there is such a tacit understanding between him and her, which is also something to be happy about.

Thinking of this, Qiu Shuang was in a good mood. She smiled and said, "The reason why the emperor protects her so much is not because she has some talent. It's a pity that she is talented but not virtuous and has let down the emperor's kindness. Now, since you know that she is a spy, it's good that you will not be blinded by her. I wonder what you plan to do next?"

"What should I do?" Zhang Lin scratched the back of his head, then looked at Qiu Shuang and said solemnly, "To be honest, it is just a judgment based on the pigeon letter and her extraordinary behavior. Although we have reason to believe that she is a Snake Spirit Spy, there is no sufficient evidence to prove it. However, it is extremely easy to check her identity. Snake Spirit members are tattooed with snake tattoos. Otherwise, you accompany me to the underground palace and check her tattoo on the spot. If she finds that she has a snake tattoo on her body, she will have a hundred mouths and cannot deny her despicable behavior and shameful identity."

Although Zhang Lin's words were talking about Shangguan Wan'er, Qiu Shuang's ears made her feel that she was being criticized. She did not dare to look at Zhang Lin, and walked to the railings near the water, staring at the ripples on the water without focusing on her eyes.

Now, no matter whether Zhang Lin's words are true or false, she cannot testify with Shangguan Wan'er in the face. Isn't that feeling uncomfortable? Because she knows that Shangguan Wan'er is not a snake spirit, how could the latter have a snake-shaped tattoo on her body?

"The underground palace is an extremely important place. Without the emperor's will, no one can enter. The last time you went to the underground palace without authorization, the emperor's Longxin was displeased. You have just recovered from the emperor's heavy use, so don't anger the emperor anymore." Qiu Shuang showed an understanding attitude.

"It's not simple? We can ask the emperor for an imperial edict." Zhang Lin said with great impulse. He decided Qiu Shuang didn't dare to do this. Go to the emperor for an imperial edict. Isn't this rushing to confront Shangguan Wan'er in front of him? Maybe she would have trapped herself in, so how could she be so stupid?

Why not do it by using something that Qiu Frost dares to do and express your determination?

Sure enough, Qiu Shuang heard this and waved her hands quickly and said, "I don't think this matter is so anxious. Even if Shangguan Wan'er is really a snake spirit spy, she is unable to come out of the dark underground palace. No matter how capable she has, she can't make any big waves."

Zhang Lin was waiting for this sentence. He nodded and smiled, expressing his agreement: "Since that's the case, I will continue to investigate. After the obvious evidence of her collusion with the snake spirit is found, it will be officially reported to the emperor."

"Let's not talk about Shangguan Wan'er, let's talk about our own affairs." Qiu Shuang felt that the topic about Shangguan Wan'er or Snake Spirit was too heavy, and every sentence seemed to point to herself intentionally or unintentionally. Although she had a strong bearing capacity, she could not withstand this pressure countless times.

So, she didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

"What's wrong with us?" Zhang Lin was stunned.

Zhang Lin's attitude disappointed Qiu Shuang. She said aggrievedly: "A few days ago, I felt that you were a little alienated to me. Although I had never done anything to be sorry for you, I was still uneasy. Sometimes I wondered in my heart whether you took the blame on me because the emperor asked me to replace Shangguan Wan'er's position, and then ignored me."

Zhang Lin said in his heart, you said too lightly. If it was true as you said, I would naturally not care. But the fact is that you planned the entire case and caused Shangguan Wan'er to be bad. However, he would not say this verbally.

An apology smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are too worried. I was hit a lot a few days ago. I was in a bad mood and had no good expression on anyone. Don't be surprised."

"I won't blame you." Qiu Shuang expressed her understanding, and then said meaningfully, "If one day we accidentally stand against the opposing position, will you and I become enemies?"

From Qiu Shuang's words, Zhang Lin heard the implication and she was about to take extreme action. He pretended not to understand and quickly said:

"Becoming an enemy? That's impossible!"

"Don't deny it so quickly." Qiu Shuang waved her hand to Zhang Lin and said seriously: "If what Shangguan Wan'er said unfortunately turned into reality one day, I really framed her or killed her for some unspeakable reason, what would you do to me?"

Zhang Lin felt that Qiu Shuang was going to bring the topic to the point again, and he didn't want to discuss this matter in depth, because he had not thought of a countermeasure yet. He and Qiu Shuang could not simply define the conflict between him and us, so he could not treat her like a conflict between us. However, he thought it was far-fetched and difficult to do if he wanted to treat her as Shangguan Wan'er, Ye Yu and Princess Taiping.

He quickly smiled and said, "I haven't said it, Shangguan Wan'er just said this verbally, and she has no evidence. So, you don't have to cause trouble for yourself."

"I'm talking about if."

"There is no such assumption." Zhang Lin was determined.

"Okay." Qiushuang said again, "If one day I take actions that are not conducive to the emperor and the Great Zhou, will you destroy me personally?"

Qiu Shuang's words were equivalent to revealing her identity as a Persian princess for Zhang Lin. If she did not have extremely strong hatred with the emperor, who would have the courage to say that she would do something that was unfavorable to the emperor?

If Qiu Shuang took the initiative to reveal her snake spirit identity or the status of the Persian princess, Zhang Lin felt that he was not ready to listen. Because after listening, he would have to make choices and take actions; Qiu Shuang, who revealed her own secret, would have expectations for his choices and actions. Otherwise, why would she say it?

And Zhang Lin really doesn’t know how to choose and act at that time.

He could not deal with Qiu Shuang like he did to deal with Xiao Qingfang, but he could not allow her to act unfavorable to the Great Zhou.

Zhang Lin pretended not to understand anything and quickly complained in a gentle tone:

"Qiu Shuang, how could you just say stupid things today? You are the emperor's most trusted person. How could you do something that is unfavorable to the emperor?"

"I'm talking about if."

"No matter what you do, I will treat you like a good friend." Zhang Lin solemnly stated that this is not a lie or a promise. It can only be regarded as a definition of the future relationship between him and her.

It's not an enemy or a lover, it's just a good friend, that's all.

Although Zhang Lin's words did not satisfy Qiu Shuang, she still accepted them happily. To be honest, before that, she had a pessimistic attitude towards her relationship with him. She felt that there was no possibility of it with him anymore, and she would even go to confrontation.

And now, the confrontation seems to be gone, and she is enough to maintain a good friend regardless of what wrong she has done.
