Chapter 794 Entering the game

Zhong Jian gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Excuse me for reminding you bluntly, this is the Queen."

Gu Mengzhen is contemptuous and arrogant, looking down on everything.

"I know."

"so what?"

He urged unhappily.

"If you have something to say, please tell me now. Why did you follow me here?"

It seemed that the conversation had already been brought to the surface. Seeing this, Zhong Jian did not hold anything back and stated his intention directly.

"The Queen has teamed up with the Fang clan to set up a honey trap to lure you in."

"Such a simple plan, can't Lord Gu see it?"

Gu Mengzhen is stubborn and self-willed.

"What kind of honey trap?"

"Hua'er is a beauty, so does everything she does have to be a honey trap? That's ridiculous."

"Your words are full of loopholes and hard to be convincing."

"Let me ask you, how can the Fang clan's plan be a simple one? When has the Fang clan ever made a simple plan?"

Lin Ranhua made a guess as if talking to herself.

"Master Zhong, are you saying that Master Gu's simple plan is enough?"

Zhong Jian almost got angry after being falsely accused by the woman he loved.

"Empress, you..."

He suppressed his anger in time, calmed down and responded calmly.

"Master Gu, please listen. Is this a strategy to sow discord?"

Lin Ranhua has an innocent look on her face.

"Ah? Estrangement?"

"Who alienates whom?"

Gu Mengzhen instructed softly.

"Don't worry about the painting."

He glanced at Zhong Jian and gave him a stern warning.

"Hua'er is pure and innocent, please don't corrupt her."

Zhong Jian felt wronged.

"What is pure thought? How can it be corrupted?"

"It was the Fang Clan who planned this. Someone from the Fang Clan taught her to do this. What does it have to do with me?"

"At this critical moment, if Lord Gu falls into the trap, you know the consequences."

"I am giving good advice, she is the one who is malicious, how can you not tell right from wrong?"

Facing Huaer, Gu Mengzhen was innocent and naive.

"She's not a sinister person."

Turning to Zhong Jian, he immediately became cunning and smooth.

"Oh, I understand you."

"It's just a little jealousy, a little envy, isn't it?"

Zhong Jian frowned.

"Master Gu's words are obscure and difficult to understand."

"You are the one who did the evil. Don't drag me into it. Otherwise..."

Gu Mengzhen interrupted and spoke in an unkind tone.

"What else? Lord Zhong sees that the situation is not good and is eager to switch sides?"

Zhong Jian spoke sternly and tried his best to defend himself.

"I mean, otherwise, there won't even be anyone to save you and temporarily take charge of the situation. When you wake up and go back, you'll only see a pile of scattered sand. Wouldn't our years of hard work be in vain?"

"I have always been loyal to you and have never done anything to betray you. Why do you always misinterpret my intentions?"

"Master Gu, do you still remember that when we first met, we worked together perfectly and were invincible?"

"At the beginning, I said that if we trust each other, great things can be accomplished. You have thrown all these words out of your mind!"

Gu Mengzhen teased and sarcastically.

"Is it really that serious to be so greedy for your own selfish desires and become angry and speak harshly?"

Zhong Jian was shocked and puzzled.

"I am acting selfishly or for the greater good, can't you tell the difference?"

Without waiting for Gu Mengzhen's reply, Lin Ranhua implemented the next plan without leaving any trace.

"Master Gu, do you hate Master Zhong?"

Gu Mengzhen was so focused on answering that he didn't notice anything unusual.

"If he gets in my way, I'll naturally hate him."

Lin Ranhua smiled sweetly.

"I'll help you."

Gu Mengzhen was unable to react in time.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Lin Ran's eyes are full of tenderness and sweetness.

"I'll help you find a way to get rid of him."

While he was stunned, she shouted her orders.

"Someone, send Lord Gu away!"

Gu Mengzhen panicked and worried about her safety, and wanted to stop her, but when he saw several palace maids coming in, he quickly changed his address to respectful.

"Hua... Queen, I..."

Lin Ranhua spoke decisively.

"Don't worry, Master Gu."

"I will do my best to help my friends and clear the way for them."

"see a visitor out."

Gu Mengzhen simply couldn't find a way to start talking.

"Queen, this..."

After watching Gu Mengzhen leave, Lin Ranhua immediately gave the order.

"Close the door."

She first returned to the Phoenix Throne, and then signaled Zhong Jian.

"Master Zhong, please take a seat."

Zhong Jian thanked the emperor and took his seat, unable to help but comment on what had just happened.

"Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart."

"You saw through my thoughts and knew that I was interested in you. It would have been fine if you were not moved, but you actually plotted to take my life."

Lin Ranhua is eloquent.

"You have harbored improper thoughts towards the Queen. You are guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven."

Zhong Jian complimented.

"Your Majesty is a gifted debater, I admire you."

Lin Ranhua's words of comfort contained a hint of sarcasm.

"You can stay here for two hours and then go back. It's okay."

"In my opinion, Lord Gu would not make random assumptions, and Ling Zheng does not seem to be a narrow-minded woman."

Zhong Jian used words to express his feelings.

"Please, Queen, let me go."

"I am willing to protect you with my life, to keep the queen and the Lin family safe, is that okay?"

Lin Ranhua continued speaking.

"When the time comes, the emperor will pass away and I will be alone."

"Will you divorce your wife and marry me instead?"

Zhong Jian’s words hit the nail on the head.

"Your Highness is using the beauty trap, but the traces are too obvious. She still needs to practice for some time."

Lin Ranhua affirmed this.

"Master Zhong is indeed very discerning."

Zhong Jian was calm.

"Thank you for your praise, madam."

Lin Ranhua asked a question.

"Since when did Lord Zhong start to show his affection to me?"

Zhong Jian answered cautiously.

"It is just a passing thought. Rather than expressing my feelings, it is more like admiration."

"Since I married my wife, I have given up the idea and have no other thoughts."

Lin Ranhua continued to ask questions.

"It seems that Lingzheng's appearance is somewhat similar to mine?"

At a critical moment, the most important thing to avoid is to bring disaster upon oneself, Zhong Jian particularly emphasized.

"My Lady, it's a coincidence."

Lin Ran's paintings are welcoming and kind.

"You must be careful. With my death, Lord Gu is lonely and unbearable, so he has a special liking for Lingzheng."

Zhong Jian was calm and composed.

"Although Mars is causing discord, it cannot shake my resolve. Please, Madam, take some time off and do nothing in vain."

Lin Ranhua replied to him with the same words.

"Lord Zhong is very courageous, but it's a pity that his talent is hidden in the dark."

"How about this, if you switch sides, I will protect you, the Zhong and Yao clans, and the Zhong Fu Alliance."

"Oh, yes, there are also Madam Gu and the Second Master Gu. I will take them into the palace and protect them. In the future, no matter what crime Master Gu is convicted of, they will not be implicated in any way."

"Okay?"

Zhong Jian chose his words carefully.

"Your Highness, you are using my aspirations as a metaphor for your own aspirations. I absolutely do not deserve this and am truly ashamed."

"The deep love between the king and queen transcends life and death, which is indeed enviable."

"It's a pity that we are not destined to meet in this life."

"I hope I will be lucky in the next life."

Lin Ran's paintings also have dots and holes.

"Master Zhong, you are willing to stay in Fengluan Palace instead of trying to escape?"

"It seems that my beauty trap may not be useless to you."

"Master Zhong is very talented, but nothing special."

Thinking that he was willing to fall into the trap and was even more stupid than Lord Gu, Zhong Jian couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Ah……"

Lin Ranhua was understanding and tried to persuade him.

"Master Zhong, you don't have to give in to me. Just think of a way to escape and prove your innocence."

"Otherwise, what can you do if Lord Gu and his men become suspicious of you and distance themselves from you?"

Zhong Jian smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty's words are cold and cruel, but you are just trying to vent the anger of the Emperor. I understand your meaning and will listen to your teachings respectfully."
